therefore, to keep her within my reach.
1. did not take us long to get to the
coign of vantage above, the, fall. first
cleared away the thick lgroHth of grass
and shrubbery that grew there, and then
laid myself fiat down on my stomach and
peered over.
The sun. in the first quarter of his as
sent, was right opposite me as l lay, and
1t was some time before 1 could make out
anything but darkness in the gulf below
me. The water swept to the shining brink
and went over 1t in endless movement,
producing an illusion as-if the solid rock
on which 1 lay were careering swiftly up
stream. But nothing defined itself within
there. l shaded my eyes with my hanus
and gazed more intently.
The body of water was, as I have said
parted in twain by the peak of rock stand
ing just at the plunge, and judging by the
angle at which the two streams separated,
there must be a space on the inner SIDE OF
the peak comparatively free from anything
more than spray. There a man might hahS

even a practiced athlete could support him

strictly limited and was to be counted by
minutes rather than hours. Now, 1t was
nearly two hours since Imogen and mad set
forth on our expedition.
That the object hitched over the peak of
rock was actually the headstall was now
plain. Imogen had been right. And it could
now be seen that the bride was attached
to it. I could follow the strip of leather
with my eye for several inches, when 1t
was obscured by the darkness of the cavity.
But scarcely had my hopes been raised by
this discovery than they were oVerthrown by
another. Had mans weight been depend
Ing from a bride, there would be a severe
strain upon it, which could not fail to be
noticeable from my position. But alas! the
bride hung quite loose, and too evidently
supported no weight at all.
From this fact l could draw but one con-
clusion-namely, that my Inflated young
friend, surprising the bride to be his, and
that his descent into the depths had been

EFFECTIVE HAIR DRESSING.

fasten, at that point, one of the new bows.
This is made of heavy black satin ribbon, in
two or three loops, measuring not less than
five inches from tip to tip, and caught in at
the knot by a tiny buckle Of brilliants, mock
emeralds or Sparkling jet. Such bows can
be bought already made on a long hair pin,
and may be fastened in across the top or on
the side Of ones head.
The pompadour and bow is an admirable
fashion for the girl whose locks are not as
thick as they might be, for she can make the
cone in three big hollow pufs and the long,
narrow black bow, in hair of any shade,
lends an air of infinite grace and dignity.
From kinks and frizzes the whole effort
now tends in head dressing for the house to
what is most demurely simple and immacu-
lately tidy. From crown to brow a correct
white part should show, no coquettish little
pot hook can coil in the forehead's center.
but straight back all the hair is smoothly
crosswise and not up and down on the head,
so that the appearance is as though the hair
had been twisted into two little c%oncave,
shell-shaped coils. 1t requires Just four
straight blonde shell pins to hold this coil in
place and its place is neither on the crown
nor on the neck, but at a critical, midway
point. below where the pretty slope of the
head over the crown is clearly revealed.
This winter the dsbutantes are not going to
wear many head ornaments, but older
women will, and these chiefly of Jet. Huge
Jet dragon flies with goggllng emerald eyes
sit on head bands, jet wings also on bands,
little half coronets Of fine black beads. a few
combs with shell teeth and tops made OF in
t~ricately spun gold wire, powdered with
diamonds, but none. absolutely none. of the
jeweled or carved tortoise shell pins. There
Is a notion for black-headed women to wear
lace carved, high ivory combs, but how far
that fashion will go one can't say, though 1t
Is a NeWDOrt invention.

Cut flowers are sometimes carried, a limited

brides, however. prefer to carry only a little
white prayer book bound in kid or silk, and
in the back of this the tiny handkerchief may
be hidden, or else be tucked snugly AWAY in

The capabilities of the Chinese character,
when subjected to the stimulating influences
OF western civilization, has been repeatedly
illustrated in Australia, where the Chinese
merchant or storekeeper is often an indi-
vldual wholly unlike the hideous caricatures
which occasionally find their way into the
illustrated papers. In the country districts
of New South Wales, as in those Of the other
colonies, several Of the largest business es-
adjustments. are i'm the hands Of Chinese
storekeepers, who everywhere enjoy a repu-
tation as enterprising, generous and law-abid-
ing citizens. icMany, conforming to the man
ners and customsl OF the land Of their adop-
ton, marry Australian wives, attend
church regularly, take an active part in
local affairs. and display a keen appreciation
Of the advantages Of education, not a few
Chinese parehts paying considerable sums for
the instruction ,of their children.
Mr.. Dang Len Chez, bstter known as All
Chez. affords a characteristic exemplihca-
ton OF what may, be regarded as the higher
type OF the, Chlpese-Australian. Born at
Canton in 1899, he emigrated to Victoria in
1856, where for some years he acted as gold
miner, storekeepera and carrier. In 1860 he
found his way into the Tumut district, in
New South Wales, where he has since re-
sided. In 1875 he married the daughter of
a crown lands commissioner named Car
ruthers, by whom he has one son and two
daughters. The former, Wing Tang, was ed
ucated at one of the best private academies
In the colony, and made such good uae of
his opportunities that he is a thorough Eng
lish and Chinese scholar; his m Of
the two languages, apart from his other at
tainments, being OF great service to his

Number increasing.
The first medical diploma conferred upon
a woman in modern times was given by the
Medical college of Geneva in 1S49. At the
present time there are nearly 5000 women
engaged in medical. practice throughout til,
country. Through the north and west they
are to be found in every large city. and IN
many country towns. South Of Maryland
they are rarely to be found. For many
years" says Emily Blackwell, NJ. D., in the
Philadelphia Bulletin, ''wcmen could only
study in the colleges established for them In
Boston, Philadelphia and New York. Now,
not only have these grown largely in means
and opportunity but others have been es-
tablished in. Chicago, Baltimore and other
places. Women, however, are no longer con-
fined exclusively to their own schools. The
medical departments of almost all the stats
universities in the west admit women as well
as men. Tie State University of Michigan at
Ann Arbcr was the first thus to recognize
the claims Of. women to. share in education
in stale institutions, and has a large class
Of women in attendance. The last and very
important step in the direction of co-educa-
tion is the admission of women to the new
Johns Hopkins Medical school in Baltimore.
This valuable opening Is due largely to the
condition of the liberal endowment given to
the college by Miss Garrett Of Baltimore.
"In connection with medicine women show
the same interest In benevolent work that
they do outside OF the profession. In New
York, BOSTON, Philadelphia. Chicago, San
Francisco, apds some other places they have
established hospitals and dispensaries in
which the service is exclusively conducted
by women physicians. In the work of pri-
vate societies md institutions they are
often active helpers. AS a rule women are
precluded from etsklng any part in public
institutions hospisals, dispensaries, asylums,
etc. In these; witfi few exceptions. they are
not eligible as attending physicians. By a
recent enactment there must be one assist
ant woman physician in allathe state hospit-
ais for the ms ane in the state of New York.
A few other states have followed that ex-
ample. Thsy may serve as internes in the
almshouse near Philadelphia. In New York
City women physicians have served in the
summer service for the poor established
by the board of hsalth, as physicians and in
spectors. One woman physician is employed

Fancy JeweIled Buttons the Latest
Freak of Fashion.
The trimming par excellence for all Of the
many new and expensive dress fabrics Is the
button. Buttons have never cost as much
money as at the present day, and they have
never been so gemlike. The art Of the gold
and silcer smith has been employed to de-
wise the most beautiful buttons, and the but
ton counter Of a large dry goods store looks
more like a jewelers. show case than the
old-time department counter, where people
bought useful articles in that line. There
are i~ntaglios and canoes In designs which
one looks for in handsome rings, beautiful
rhinestone settings which glitter like dia-
monds, medallion heads on ivory and porce-
lain, charming Dresden designs in turquoise,
gold and rhinestones; enameled CONNECTIONS
after the pattern of old-fashioned brooches
come in all the fashionable sizes, Large imita-
ton pearls are set in rhinestones which re-
semble costly jewels, and In price are not far
behind them. There are three reigning sizes,
ranging from h~alf-inch to one and a
half-inch in diameter, and Ill
price the bring from Is cents
apiece to 81 apiece. The old-fashioned way
Of selling buttons by the dozen has been
abandoned except for the ordinary home
consumption article, and the buttons of a
dress represent an outlay OF money in
many cases equal to the cost OF the dress
pattern itself. From four to six buttons
are usSu On dillOSl every SuWu WHICu u
ionable woman wears. There are no button
holes of course, except of the imitation
kind, for these expensive gewgaws are for
ornamentatlon and not for use. They appear
on either side Of the collar. on the belt at
the waistline, in the back of the waist just
below the nape Of the neck and below
the throat and a handsome dress Of
the up-to-date style represents all the way
from SIG to $24 in buttons alone. That the
button industry has been given a tremendous
impetus by this extravagant application of a
once useful article, no one will deny. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the jewelers. trade
will suffer thereby, or whether to keep
abreast with his colleague, the buttonmaker,
he. too. will have to start out in a new direc-
ton and devise novel and striking effects in
his line to make a distinction between a
great lady's jewels and the buttons Of her
dress. Just now they are dangerously similar
and a pickpocket in a crowd could not be
blamed for installing a beautiful button at a
lady's waist for a jewel many times its value.
