idea existing among certain coed
housekeepers and excellent women that
II they were to leave home for one day
everything would at once collapse into
state Of utter ruin; and this is a spe-
cies Of false conceit that prevents many
tired brain and body from obtaining
the respite from grinding care that IL

vide certain little pleasant happenings
to vary the monotony of domestic
drudgery that is wife's heritage. This
does not necessitate undue outlay of
money; for change, bright, pleasant
and inspiring, can frequently be OBJ
tanned in many ways when not one
cent is required to secure it. That, II
it is possible, little trip taken once

faces stimulates the imagination,
braces up those forces that have been
exhausted in the ceaseless round of
humdrum doings at home, and thus
helps to build up the body in the
pleasantest manner possible and some
little change of this sort Is possible to
any one who will make an effort to

Stationery STYLES,

Chatting recently on the new things
in his line, the head of the stationery
department of one of the leading stores
gave some interesting advance infor-
nation. Wedding invitations for the
season of 81 and '9S show some slight
changes in style. The sheet of paper
is now more nearly square and so re-

the leaders in domestic science almost
unanimously agreeing that If the right
theory is practically carried out coop
erative housekeeping cannot fail Of
success, and that the trouble with most
of the experiments that have ended SO
disastrously lay in lack Of common
sense. Mrs. Helen Campbell devotes a
chapter in her work on Household
economics to what she calls organized
living" though she says 1t is not so
much cooperation as combination that
Is desired in the housekeeping OF
community. She wants to see the busi-
ness of cooking and cleaning trans
ferred to the hands of experts so that
the mistress of home shall not be
burdened by tasks to which she is un-
fitted by nature or education. This Will
give employment to many needy wo-

troubled, for she could not shake off
the sense. of the deception she was
practicing on those most interested in
her welfare.
While she was waiting and debating,
she received visit from the lady of
the Castle, who drove down, post-haste,
and stalked into the manse full of evil
dent determination. Marjorie was sent
for at once, and coming downstairs,
found Miss Hetherington and Mr.. Men
teith waiting for her in the study.
Its all settled, Marjorie" said the
impulsive lady. you're to come home
with me to the Castle this very day."
Marjorie started in establishment, but
before she could make any reply, Mr..
Menteith interposed.

accept Miss Hetherington's most gen.

With its provision for transporting
the seasons hat with both safety and
ease, the latest trunk is genuine boon
to travelling womankind. To each side,
each end and to the bottom is attached
a round cushion stuffed with hair; over
the cushion the hat is placed and is
secured by a long hat-pin thrust
through the crown. The creation rests
as firmly, yet as lightly as upon its
owners head, and can be carried to the
antipodes without danger or harm. The
one drawback and the one objection
that instantly occurs is cost, but even
that can be obviated If one be a bit
clever and shrewd. The trunk proper
shows no popularity, no speciality that
lis its own. Round cushions stuffed
with hair, nailed fast to one of the
ordinary sort, and their edges covered
with gimp, neatly tackled on, serve ev-
cry purpose and are within the reach
of all. AS no weight is involved, those
that have already become weakened
with service can be made to serve. or
new ones of inexpensive make be con-
verted into the costlier sort.

more nearly oblong than formerly and
are of thinnest bristol cardboard, en-
graved also in the heavy English
round hand. For men the extreme mode
is the small card, lettered in the an
tique Roman or severe Latin style.
These are especially designed for club
use. The angular or single line style
of script is quite out, all engraving now
running to the English script, with
heavily shaded curves and lines. In sta
tionery there is an effort to introduce
startling effects such as Rivera blue
and French crimson with monograms
in black, but as these are extreme nov
elites they are not likely to take with
women of conservative taste.

Beware Of letting your fancy run
loose in the matter of sofa pillows and
draperies, warns writer in the New
York Evening Post. A divan of de-
cided tone and pattern is too often
found strewn with an array of
pillows of which each is as en-
phatic as the background Itself
a display as aggressive as row of
ink-blots ON a white sheet. No sofa

When thou her bosom wouldst assail,
While tenderness and warmth doth

she looked up YEARLY.

1.-Two hundred! exclaimed the lady
eagerly.
1.-Two hundred is better, but still not
much. With two hundred pounds-and
hfty-I might even deny myself the
pleasure of your charming acquain-
tance."
Miss Hetherington turned toward her
desk, and reached her trembling hand
toward her check book, which lay there
ready.

1T is needless. I have given you my
word. Besides, madame, it is better
that such arrangements as these should
not be written in black and white.
Papers may fall into strange hands, as
you are aware, and the result might be
iunfortunate-fo you."
She shuddered and groaned as he
spoke, and forthwith handed him the
check. He glanced at it, folded it up,
and put it in his waistcoat pocket.
Then he rose to go.

"youhave nothing to fear from me. My
only wish is to secure your good es-
teem."
'When will you gang?" demanded
Miss Hetherington.
,'In the course of the next few days.
I have some little arrangements, few
bills to settle, and then-en route to
France"
He bowed again, and gracefully re-
tired. Passing downstairs, and out at
the front door, he again hummed gaily
to himself. AS he strolled down the
avenue he drew forth the check and in
Ispected it again.
1.-TWO hundred and fifty pounds" he
said. laughing. "How good of her, how
liberal, to pay our travelling expenses"
Meantime, Miss Hetherington sat in
her gloomy boudoir, looking the picture
of misery and despair. Her eyes worked
wildly, her lips trembled convulsively.

cried. wringing her hands; "if We were

MINES AND MINERS
Observation-Disclosures,
California

The Mining and Metallurgcal Journal
says en- immense strike has been made
in the Rose mine about fifty miles north
east of Victor in San Bernardino county,
at depth of 500 and 800 feet, during the
last week, and one of the most wonder
full yet made has been found at it's low
est levels. not only in richness but in
magnitude. Four feet of solid shipping
ore, assaying from 5000 to $500 to the
ton was encountered while stopping be-
tween the 500 and 900 foot levels. At the
800 foot they have large quantities of
high grade milling ore and will no doubt
soon strike the shipping ore. The Rose
people have enough of ore out and in
sight to keep their ten stamp mill rum
ming for years. This extraordinary strike
shows that by depth the mine is richer
and the ore chimneys much larger. Such
strike in the north at this depth would
attract mining capital and would make
quite boom. There is now no doubt
that the mines are liable to "go down., -
as in any part of the state.

at their safe landing. strange dusky
being approached and bade them well
come with smiles and bows. At first they
were alarmed, fearing that they had
landed among cannibals, but soon these
fears we're dispelled, and at a motion
from the being they followed him cp the
grassy slope, along a palm lined road,
to beautiful level stretch in the CEN
ter of which stood marvellous palace
made Of Oriental wood.
That this was the palace of the king
they all understood at once. for outside
stood many sentinels, each armed with
spear, and each guarding a separate
entrance to the grounds. But at mo-
ton from the being the sentinels low
cred their spears and Fred Banks, with
his party, passed on and entered the
palace. Here they found, seated upon a
big throne In the reception room, where
he had gone to receive them, a dusky
monarch, who, with bow and smile,
made them welcome.
They soon found that they could con-
verse with him in a language half words,
half signs. The monarch, who turned
out to be King Rauma of the Raratonga,
knew a little English which he had
learned from some shipwrecked sailors
year before. and Mr.. Banks, being a
clever man, soon picked up a few words
of the new language.

thing that kings wife should enjoy.
This man is Fred Banks. an American.
who Is a crowned king, and reigns over
the people Of Raratonga island.
Fred Banks, some years ago, was con-
nected with prominent oil company of
San Francisco. Getting into difficulties.
he resolved to quit the country and sail
to parts unknown. Unknown they were
to him in every sense Of the word; for
when he started out he had no idea
where he was going. Even his escape
was blocked, and to get away from San
Francisco he found 1t necessary to steal
schooner. This boat he manned with
a crew Of strangers whom he selected for
their ability to sail q ship. Aboard he
got with fine sum of money which he
decided to take from the Golfers of the
oil company.
The schooner set sail and for a few
days enjoyed the best of weather. Just
how many knots were made Is unknown,
as the boat was too lightly manned to
allow Of the keeping Of an accurate
log book. But one morning they awoke
to find themselves in south seas, tossed
and dashed in the teeth Of the gale. Ship
ping their sails, they took advantage of
the wind to make headway toward an
island which they saw lying bright and
beautiful In the distance. and with sucl,
good results were their efforts crowned
that in five hours they were able to make
the island and to land without injury.
AN UNEXPECTED SPOT
Here they found themselves in an in
expresslbly beautiful spot. The shores
were covered with velvety grass, which
ran down to beautiful beach, and a
little farther back stood beautiful palms
