Dress Of Children.
Every one has heard the eAame Of Kate
Greenaway, the talented English artist,
who. has done more to revolutionize chill
dren's dress than any other living woman.
No woman Is better known in England
and In America than she, and yet no wom-
ans personal lie and habits are less
known anu talked Of than hers The rea-
son of this lies In the fact that she regards
her private lifc as something sacred to her
self and her friends, and has never allowed
sny one to interview her, and refrains from
accepting attentions and entertainments
that would bring her into q conspicuous
position. She lives, however, In an old
and picturesque house In the neighborhood
of Han pstcad Heath and has her stuGio
here on the top floor, a large, well lighted
and cozy room. Its long windows open out
into balcony, where Miss Greenaway
loves to sit on pleasant days She is most
Industrious and to her hard work, origi-
naiity and love for children Is attributed
her great success.
Like every other successful man and
woman, Kate Greenaway toiled long and
earnestly before fame smiled upon her.
First she studied at the art school in South
Heatherley's, another famous London
studio, and at the Slade school When her
first pictures were exhibited at the Dudley
gallery, they attracted some attention and
much praise. and 1t was after this that
Miss Greenaway devoted herself to illus
trating childrcn's books and to designing
Christmas, birthday and dinner cards,
menus and all kinds of pretty and artistic
novelties. A collection Of pretty colored
sketches of children dressed In the quaint,
old fashioned gowns Of a century ago, pub
lished under the title Of "Under the Win
dow" brought her fame. This was not
only confined to the artistic brotherhood,
but fashion quickly recognized the charm
and style of these picturesque costumes
and adopted them. Until then children
had been overdressed or unattractiyely
dressed, and the beautiful and numerous
fashions in dainty gowns and cloaks anG
hats which combine sensible comfort and
warmth with aesthetic taste in color and
form all date from Miss Kate Greenaway's
efforts 15 years ago.-BostOn Globe.

piece together the deductions which
might fairly be drawn from the inter
view. The FIRST point made clear was
the %undoubted guilt of the conspira-
tors; if they had committed forgery for
the purpose of imposing on a single
customer, it was reasonable to conclude
that they had not hesitated when the
necessity was far more urgent. An
other deduction was of even greater inn
Fortance. Fench and Sharpless had
a confederate in Pragmore, and here
vas n vulnerable point. If the notary
set n price upon his silence, he might
also be induced to speak, if it were
made sufficiently profitable for him to
do so. a third inference was that the
original forgery and the deed from
Gates had disappeared; otherwise the
conspirators would not have beer at
the trouble of fabricating new ones.
Philip sat ur late that night, study
ing the problem and trying to deter
mine what he should do next, but his
perseverance, was rewarded only by the
turning of one more conjecture into a
certainty. The note which had called
him to the attorneys Office was in
typewriting, and n comparison of its
mechanical inaccuracies with those in
the anonymous letter to Duncan proved
that both were written on the same ma
chine.

their fires over night by putting them out
IN the air and letting them freeze and then
thawed them out in the morning. He said
he had seen four men die of collie from
eating whisky that was frozen SO hard it
wouldn't thaw inside of them. He said
the cows all gave ice cream till they froze
to death. He said he knew a clerk in a
hotel on the Yukon that got rich selling
the diamonds he wore, said diamonds being

XIII.


1t was early in July when Philip
began the campaign of restoration. He
made up his mind in the beginning
that it was to be a n with death,
and, believing this, he did not spare
himself, though the heat during the
weeks that followed was terrific. II
was n dry summer, and in n drought
the climate of the Chiwassec valley is,
TO say the least, something less than
invigorating. For the first fortnight
Philip went about with the feeling that
the next day would finish him. Then,
as the barriers hedging him on the
side toward accomplishment grew into
respectable mountains of difficulty, n
winged spirit of energy, which was,
perhaps, only an unused heritage from
his Woodworking father, began to pos.
sess him, breaking the bonds Of habit
n lifting him out of the rut Of in
trospection. One morning he forgot
to count his pulse, and the daily analy
sis of his symptoms was omitted fer
the first time in weeks; and that night
he slept with open windows, through
which the cool breeze from the noun
tain blew across the bed, and no harm
came of it. He was too busy to think
much about his infirmity at the time,
but a week later he stepped upon the
patent weighing-machine in the ro-
tunda of the Johannisberg. and wher
the pointer failed to record the usual
decrease he e TO his room AMI
dropped the half-used bottle Of hypo-
rhosphites into the CRATE. That was
the turning of the tide, and by the
time his fellow-migrants in the exotic
city were beginning to wilt under the
fervid summer sun, Philip was growing
stronger in body and saner in mind;
finding a certain tonic in a series of de
feats which were sharp enough to slim
ulate without being heavy enough to
crush.
And while he wrestled with the diff
ficulties of the legal problem, the fire
burned within him, consuming some
rubbish and shedding new light into
the dusky corners of the soul-chamber
hitherto obscured by the shadows of iii
health and morbidness. The light was
not altogether welcome, though it ma
icIidIly ltSStueu the Instance between
the ~ostensible Philip and Philip the
real. For one thing, it belittled the mo-
tive which was responsible for his
work. Allowing the promptings of
common humanity their full weight,
the fact remained that his enthusiasm
had for its starting-point a desire to
win the approval of Elsie Duncan.
That was the new ideal, and his saner
thought told him hat il was wretched-
ly inadequate; that ii sprang from i'm
pulse and was degraded in the hour
of its birth by unfaith. Unworthy as
IL was, it was still an ideal, and Philip
dashed himself into a small fury OF
self-contempt when he discovered that
1t was no longer the motive for his
e%xertions; that Elsie's appreciation and
Kilgrow's wrongs were secondary con,
s~iderations in comparison with the
strenuous urgings of a newly arouse'
ambition squirting him on 10 wiring vic
tory out of defeat for victory's sake.
