The Dog That Got the Ducks.

A good story is told of hunters from
Washington who went to the coast of
North Carolina to shoot ducks.
There were six men in the party,
and they had three dogs with them.
They hunted in couples, each two hav-
ing a dog. Shooting was good, and from
each of the six couples the sound of
guns being fired notified their friends
of their success, for they We're only a
short distance apart.
Each couple was somewhat indig-
nant, because whenever duck fell their
own dog failed TO get it, one dog seem
ing to secure almost every one of the
wild fowl.
At luncheon time they all came to-
gether.
"Well. what luck?" was the general
greeting.
Elegant but your dog got our
ducks, - was the universal response.
Then they looked at each other,
while from out the little bay glided 3
skiff loaded with ducks, in the forward
end of which sat the dog which had
gathered them in.-Washington Star.

Pink VIII Reign.

Pink in loveliest tints will be very
favored color this summer, and among
the beautiful dyes are anemone, also
known as valesque, an old rose pink !;
venus, delicate flesh tint; azalea, a
soft rose, tinged with silver like the
dawn" tint of other seasons. Shepherd
ess and Louis XVI pinks are tinged with
faintest mauve, like the old pompadour
and lilac shades, and still deeper tones
of this exquisite color copy the hues of
the orchid, chrysanthemum and sweet
pea blossom. All of these dyes combine
beautifully with silver gray, reseda,
fawn color, cream, beige, apricot, mag
noha, white and some of the pale vel
low shades. The latter mixture is like
the ''honeysuckle melange" of colors
used a year ago. Pink and yellow French
roses, jonquils and geranium blossoms
are massed upon some of Virot's round
hats of black or dark green openwork

In riding were taken on (and Off the

disposition. When his temper gave way
before the trials to which we subjected
it, we took many lessons in that gentle
art of falling off which is SO useful a
supplement to the science of riding as
more generally understood. We can
make this avowal without any sense Of
shame now, for it happened once on a
day forever memorable that our donkey
kicked off our riding master himself in
all his glory of boots and breeches.
Joe, the coachman's boy, declared all
our theory of donkey riding to be incor-
rect, and it is significant that, though
the donkey could kick off the riding
master, boots and breeches and all, it
entirely failed to shake Joe from his
seat by any of it's antics. But then Joe's
method was entirely different from that
of the riding masters 1t was, indeed,
so simple as scarcely to deserve the
name of method, being contained in the
single precept that you should sit as
near the tail of the animal as possible.
That was the sum total of his theory of
donkey riding. and it worked to perfec-
ton in practice. Our uncle, who was in
the navy, explained the mechanics Of
