The Vailima letters, which are
Just from the press, give a perfect
picture Of the various moods OF
the literary artist who always stroye
for that perfection which he could
never attain. Here is bit from
one of his last letters which illus
trates his gloomy fancies: II
wonder exceedingly if l have done
anything at all good; and who can
tell meP and why should 1 wish
to know In SO little a while l
and the English language and the
bones of my descendants will have
ceased to be memory. And yet
and yet-one would like to
leave an image for few years
upon mems minds-for fun"
But it was this very effort, often
painful drudgery, to which he
brought his genius, that produced
Stevenson's brilliant works. His
suggestion for an epitaph sums up
his whole life, its modesty and It's
heroism: "Here lies one that
meant we'll, tried little, and fail
ed much" OF this Edmund Gosse
says: "Surely that may be his
epitaph, of which he need not be
ashamed. Nor need he complain
at the summons which calls de-
feated soldier from the field. Out
of the day and the dust and the
ecstasy, there goes another faith

swathed in bandages. He was rather
groggy, but still in the ring. The women
said the spectacle was magnificent, bet
ter than any theater, for 1t was abso-
lutely genuine and no sham about 1t.
Moreover, it was entirely novel for most
of them.
But it isn't always necessary to immo-
late an auctioneer to make Roman holi-
day. AS a rule the auctioneer is able to
amuse and interest his patrons by miider
methods. The bargains If they are bar
gains, are enough TO excite the tender
passions of the women most of the time.
Just as with gamblers, the next best
thing to winning is losing, SO those who
are not buying can have the pleasure of
seeing others buy.
One New Yorker who built himself
castle In the country made name for
himself among his friends by starting
out with the intention Of fitting 1T up
and furnishing it with secondhand
things. He went long way toward car
rying out his idea. He bought doors,
mantel pieces and such things from the
dealers in secondhand building ma
terials, who got them out of the old
fashioned houses that were torn down tc
make room for modern structures. He
spent several years in haunting the
yards of these dealers and the shops of
dealers in antiques, and when his castle
was completed it was in itself a collec-'
ton. A lot of women are following his
plan in furnishing their houses, but in
fashion involving less labor than he de-
voted to It, They simply go to auctions
as often as they can and indulge in the
fun of buying what they need One
woman started last autumn to furnish
in this way cottage which she expects
to occupy during the coming summer.
1t is furnished almost completely now,
and every article in 1T represents a con-
test in which she was successful, and so
recalls pleasant memories as an emblem
of victory. She is in splendid health and
buoyant spirits, which she attributes 10
her constant attendance at the auctions
and the eternal vigilance and activity of
mind required. But in her case the
auction habit has developed at least one
unpleasant result. 1t has affected the
style of her conversation unfavorably
Her remarks are apt to be cast all upon
one model.
Now" she will say, do you see that
bedstead? How much do you suppose
paid for it? 1t is genuine Chippendale,
and must be worth at least 500. Would
you believe that 1 got it for just SIS? 1t
was this way" etc. This becomes
monotonous when applied to each arti-
Gle in a twelve-room cottage successfully.
Other women have provided the same
diversion for themselves during the win
ter. Still others who live in flats, but
hope to be promoted to a full house as
their husbands become more prosperous,
are already buying furniture for their
new abodes. Where they put some of
the things they buy in the meantime is
a mystery which casual visitors to the
auction rooms have tried in vain to
fathom- There are. for instance, hand
some carved bookcases, wardrobes and
sidebOards as big as some Cat rooms.

usual number of Uncle sans ''jackies'' have
been ashore. A number of war vessels are
lying in New York bay or are at the navy
yard, and many of the men have shore
leave. The sailor hats and wide-bottomed
trousers are TO be seen almost everywhere,
and when Jack gets shore leave he always
leaves a trail behind him. A party of SAIL
ors from the United States cruiser Colum-
bia were up Broadway one night recently,
and they were making the night merry.
They had indulged in the cup that cheers
until they were loquacious and ready for
any frolic. Three abreast, they came down
Broadway, singing rollicking sailor song
and chatting every one that passed. Just as
they hove i'm sight of drug store at Thirty
fourth street the leader OF the party came
10 a full STOP He reared cut at the top OF
his voice:

His comrades stopped and biinked at him.
The leader Strengthened up gravely and said
I'VE almost run 'em down. Lights was
wrong. Must have been a laEdlubber that
fixed them lights Must have them changed
and be shipshape What would the captain
say II he saw that?"
Thus he rambled on, and his comrades
bltnked and stared at him, believing that
the liquor had turned his head. They saw
that he was looking disapprovingly into the
show window OF a drug store at the red and
greer-colored lamps. He turned into the
store. The whole party followed him In.
The clerk came around from behind the
counter. and the sailor in the lead pointed
al the llgntS ana rOareus
Change them lights around! You have
got your starboard light on the port. Some
one will run you down. Ii amt shipshape."
The clerk looked at the lights and then
at the sailor The latter blurted out:
II tell you IL amt shipshape. Change your
signals round or some tramp craft will run
you down."
Then light began to dawn on the clerk
He saw that something was wrong with the
adjustment of the lights. but he knew moth
ing OF nautical signals. and he inquired
gravely as to the error. The sailor said
bluntly:
why. me hearty, you've got your red
light on the starboard side. and you're car
rying your green light on the port. Ii ain'i
shipshape. Some laundering tramp'll run
you down. Change yer lamps round and
then YOU can tell which way you're going
The clerk demurred, but the sailor sprane
across the ran. and. before the clerk had

green one had been. Then he jumped back
and looked at the transformation BY this
time his party heartily approved OF the
change. The clerk simply stared. The
sailor went on:
There you are, Shipshape as a pirate

The women do invite one another to

cumulated purchases at the auction
rooms. Some of them are very rich, like
Mrs. Blank, and seem to buy things sim

exciting use they can find for their time

these days, thanks to the efforts of the
Association for the Suppression of
Fraudulent Auctions. Excitement has
been added to the bidding, the spice of
gambling and the continuous variety
performance of the auctioneer. Thus on
one occasion IN one auction room the
auctioneer objected to the presence of an
agent Of the association. who was taking
notes of everything that was said or
done. He ordered him out. The agent
refused to go. and the auctioneer
promptly began hostile operations. The
women were treated to an exhibition of
Graeco-Roman wrestling on the spot.

room floor in great shape, smashing
chairs and bric-a-brac.
