upon a happy occasion, the climax OF
quick courtship, where l was of 1t, but
not in it.
ut was Just a year ago this month
when the Ramsdells arranged q tour
through the Hoosatonic Valley. Now,
Mrs. Stewart Ramsdell is not in the least
fitted for a chaperone, though she seems
to take pleasure in the role. This was
the way il all happened:
1--WE fell into line on q brilliant spring
morning, and of the party was the chap
erone's brother-in-law Jim, and a pretty
Miss Mcbride, a fetching little girl with
the merriest brown eyes, and fun enough
in her TO run a circus.
well, il amused me more than little,
to see the manoeuvres of that weeks s trip.
Jim ranged himself next to Miss May,
who looked wonderful smart in her linen
frock and short waist, and nOndescript,
natty headgear with a peak back and front.
''Jim's divinity insisted upon pushing her
own machine up all the hills, and Jim would
take the inside track, keeping his wheel
abreast of hers, but on his left so that he
could manage to get close to her. He was
always doing something for her, or helping
her with her W heel; and the way their hands
did get tangled up was a caution. l

the fun and help along in case of an emer-

love into her macintosh and put on her
rubbers The operation took SO long that

You may perhaps have heard OF the recent

ruthless mutilation Of his photographic
treasures that we must attribute the sud-
den death of Mgr. Carini, pTefect of ths
vatican library. This eminent prelats,
though comparatively yOung-being only
about fifty-was known and respected ii
the scientific world for his learned writings
on historical, photographic ard theological
subjects and belonged to several scientific
academies both in Italy and abroad. Tha
theft OF the parclmeutS brought down an
avalanche of annOyanCes and trouble on
the quiet, peaceful savant and lie bravely
supported the weary 1nteFFoSatIonS or the
police officials and the assaults Of prying
reporters. But the coup de grace came to-
him when he was called before a committee
of cardinals, one OF whom, the JcSuiF
Mezzarella. harshly threw upon him all 10
blame of what had occurred.
This was too much for the poor mOnsignCF.

Itwas jolly to hear her cunning little laugh
and see the color come up into her cheeks.
Jim looked pleased TO death.
"The last day, on the home run, 1t was
evident things were coming to a climax.
Jim never left his charmer's side, and how
he did make eyes at her! 1t was equally
evident that Mrs. RamsdeN was bent on
nipping the climax in the bud. She planted
herself on Miss Mays other side, and there
she stayed. No amount of diversion on my
part, or persuasion on Jim's could bulge
her But that little brown-eycd girl was
equal for her. The day was q scorcher and
she knew her future connection-ln-laws

The common objection among woman
kind to letting their age be known is not
shared by the ladies of Japan, who actually
display their cycle of years in the arrange
ment of their hair. Girls from nine to
fifteen wear their hair interlaced with red
Grape in q semi-eircle around the head, the
forehead being left free with curl at each
side. From the ages of fifteen to thirty the
hair is dressed very-high on the forehead
and gathered up at the back in the shape of
a butterfly or fan, with twistings of silver
cord, and perhaps decoration of colored
balls. Beyond the milestone of thirty
woman twists her hair around shell-pin

A COFFIN BUT NO CORPSE.

Funeral Ceremonies and a Burial and
the Body Discovered in Bed.
There could hardly be O more unique
burial story than the account of an incident
at Capdenac, France, recently, says the New
York World A boy ten years of age had
died in that little village, and after the ser
vices at the house the coffin was taken in
solemn state TO the church, where further
religious ceremony was held. After this
the procession OF moumers wended their
way to the cemetery, where the interment
took place with due FORMS
As the parents OF the child returned to
their home, where all this time the other
children had been left in charge OF an
elderly relative the youngest came running
out OF the house, and, without a trace of
excitement in his tone, IN his natural
conversational voice said
Papa, / have just seen Felix" Felix
was the name Of the boy who had died and
who had just been buried in the little ceme-
terry that lay over the hlll.
BE stin! Be still,'' sharply answered
the father, the words of the child bringing
up a gush OF grief and a flow of remem-
bTance over the boy he had just lost
The youngster looked up wonderingly at
the agitated man. Il assure you, papa,
that | have just seen him, and if you Will
follow me / viii show him to you He is
in the bedroom"
Wondering, hesitating, and half-fright-
ened at the calm assurance of the child and
his strange words, convinced that there was
some ghostly visitant about the house, and
yet altogether disbeleving this, the man
put his hand into that OF the child and went
with him. The boy pushed open the door
ofthe small, darkened sleeping room, where
in the dead son had SO recently lain. 1t
was no ghost, but what he saw the father
could scarcely believe, and he had to go
over to the bed himself before the evidence
OF his eyes would convince him. There
on the bed lay the body exactly as it had
been placed some hours before. In the
excitement of the funeral ceremony they
had forgotten to place it in the coffin.
