1t is quite in keeping with the strained
attempt after oddity that the end Of the
century woman should even spend consid'
erlble time and attention as to the sort
of rings with which her fingers should be
adorned. 1t is usual nowadays to wear
only one sort of ring, or else, il more than

those of the most peculiar combinations and

How Do You Hang Yours.

She is an unwise woman who hangs
up her Jacket by loop at the back of
the neck. 1t makes the coat sag where
the strain comes, and gives it a dragged
and droopy appearance. II loops are
used at all. they should be at the arm
holes. and so put on as to stand upright,
and are not stretched across an inch or so
of space. this obviates the pulling at the
cloth. But the best way to keep a coat
fresh and in good shape is to keep it,
when not in active service. on wooden
hanger.

sun threw shadows upon the curves of his

The proceedings might have opened by
an impromptu by-battle between the indig-

In upon their alteration. 1t was caused by
the appearance in the ring of Crab Wilson,

breeze. He then took a bundle of smaller
ribbons of the same color from his seconds,
and walking round he offered them to the
nobleman and Corinthians at half a guinea
apiece as souvenirs of the fight. His brisk
trade was only brought to an end by the
appearance of Harrison, who climbed in a
very ~leisurely manner over the ropes, as be-
fitted his more mature years and less elastic
joints. The yell which greeted him was even
more enthusiastic than that which had her
aided Wilson, and there was a louder ring Of
admiration in it, for the crowd had already

them.

At the time of our marriage my husband,

he could get was spent in experiment. At

in a nrst class battle. Both his knees were
slightly bent. he stood square to his oppo-
mont, and his two big brown fists were held
over his mark. so that he could lead equally
with either. Wilson's hands, which moved
necessarily in and out. had been stained
with some astringent Juice, with the pur-
pose Of preventing them from pulling, and
so great was the contrast between them and
his white forearms that imagined he was
wearing dark close-ftting gloves, until my
uncle explained the matter in a whisper.
So they stood in a culver of eagerness and
expectation, while that huge multitude
hung so silently and breathlessly upon every
motion that they might have believed them
selves to be alone. man to man, in the cen
ter of some primeval solitude.
1t was evident from the beginning that
Crab Wilson meant to throw no chance
away and that he would trust to his light
ness of foot and ]quickness of foot until he
should see something of the tactics of his
rough-looking antagonist, He paced swiftly
around several times, with little elastic,
menaCing steps. while the smith pivotted
slowly to correspond. Then. as Wilson took
q backward step to induce Harrison to break
ground and follow him. the older man
grinned and shook his head.

faced round to follow the movements of his
adversary, | saw with a thrill that his chin
was crimson and dripping. In came Wilson
again with a feint at the mark and a flush
hit on Harrison's cheek; then. breaking the
force of the smiths ponderous right counter,
he brought the round to a conclusion by
slipping down upon the grass.
