devotion to work Is shown by his conduct on

Vanderbilt however, arrived at the station
early in the day and despite the heat and
noise remained at his desk all day, going over

two loops ON each side of a knot, which
is fastened down with buckle.
On frocks OF silk, chiffon and NOUS
seine de sole are used. The loops in
these are very large, indeed. A couple
of yards of the fiImy stuff are tied
into a great butterfly bow beneath the
chin. The buckles worn with these
are dainty jeweler affairs, while those
which accompany the satin collars
are severe ones of gold and silver
Another novelty in collars is the ACE

the back rises up to meet the hair,
while it dwindles to a tiny lace frill

lace are used in these ruffs, in order
to give them the necessary stiffness
Even then they need wire to hold them
in position in the back.

STRANGE SIGHT.

Witnessed at Sea When GuIls Fol-
low the Ship.
A jolly crew is a flock of gulls. I
have watched them by the hour flying
abreast of the steamer from ten to
twenty-five feet from the ships rail,
with every eye on the portfolio from
which refuse of the cooks galley is
dumped into the sea. Generally this
grateful event takes place just after
meal time, and a gull will follow a
snip ten hours for the sake of one mad
dash al the scraps that it expects to
be consigned to the ocean.
The gull cannot be fooled with any
thing short of fresh meat or crackers.
L nave tried orange peel and scraps of
paSteDoard, which l tossed into the air
or into the sea, and not bird turned
feather! But if you hold a scrap of
cracker in your hand you will see
every bird draw as near as he dareS.
with knowing blink and a turn CT
the head. Toss it into the air and
wild scream issues from fifty threats;
as many pairs of wings flash in the
sunlight; fifty pairs of red or black
legs bangle in the air, and the scrap
never reaches the seal
The great event is when the dinner
scraps go overheard from the galley
There is mad scramble, the air is
filled with hoarse cries, the whole flock
settles on the water with uplifted
wings, each screaming and Tapping in
the vain endeavor to get all there is
for itself. The steamer goes on, leav-
ing white, struggling spot on the
water in its yake. But presently they
start after her again, and with quick,
nervous strokes they reach her side,
to sail serenely on with her as before.
The most amazing piece of business
ever saw was a gull coolly preening
itself with its bill while it was fol-
lowing in full flight, apparently without
an effort.-Our Animal Friends
