ance at Paris, where she became ac-
quainted with General de Cissey, at that
time minister of war. Unsuitable in her
greed for money, the baroness induced
the minister of war to intrust to her
some army contracts of a particularly
advantageous nature. The rival con-
tractors were not slow In bringing the
matter to the ears of Henri Rochefort
and Of other journalists hostile to the
government, who, without any idea Of
the extent or enormity of the scandal
involved, began by heaping reproaches
upon Colonel Jung, charging him with
obtaining valuable contracts through
his wife's influence with the aged min
lister. The colonel fought several duels
with the editors Of the newspapers thus
assailing him, when matters were sud-
denly complicated by a report to the ef-
feet that valuable military documents
were missing from the war department,
and that they had passed into the hands
of the German government The news
papers which had been attacking Colo
mel Jung at once fastened upon him as
the guilty person. and charged him with
being a traitor.
Friends and foes now pointed out to

cusation to be met by any mere chal-
lenge to fight duels, and that there was
only one way by which It could be me..
namely. by a suit for libel against his
traducers. The action which he there
upon instituted in its turn led to
similar suit on the part of the minister
of war against Henri Rochefort, the
generals object being to clear himself
from the accusation of having unduly
favored Nine. de Kaula In the award Of
army contracts. Before the two trials
were ended the entire affair was brought
to light.
The baroness de Kaula had to leave
France in the same way as the italian
Duchess Of Litta and the Countess Of
Castigllone had been forced to do for
offenses of a similar nature during the
latter part Of the reign Of Napoleon III,
while General de Cissey, condemned not
as knave but q weak fool. had to re-
sign.

WOMAN'S LOVE

A sentinel angel, sitting high in glory,
Heard this shrill wall ring out from purga
"Have mercy, mighty angel! Hear my
story"
IT loved, and. blind with passionate love,
fell;
Love brought me down to death. and death
to hell.
For God Is just, and death for sin is we'll.
1T do not rage against His high decree.
Nor for myself do ask that grace shall be,
But for my love on earth, who mourns for
me.
"Great Spirit. let me see my love again,
And comfort him one hour. and were fain
To pay thousand years of fire and pain"
Then said the plying angel: NAY repent
That wild vow. Look! the diaps finger
bent
Down to the last hour of thy punishment"
But still she walled: IT pray thee,l me go;
cannot rise to place and leave him so,
Oh, let me sooth him in his bitter woe!"
The brazen gates ground suddenly ajar
And upward. joyous. like rising star,
She rose, and, vanished in the ether far.
But soon adown the dying sunset sailing,
And like wounded bird, her pinions TRAIL
ing,
She fiuttered back with broken-hearted
wailing.
She sobbed: II found him by the summer
sea
Reclined, his head upon q maiden's knee:
She curled his hair and kissed him. Woe
met
She wept: Now let my punishment begin,
have been fond and foolish. Let me in
To expiate my sorrow and my sim

The Care Of Gloves

Care of gloves seems to be something
that the average woman knows as little
about as she knows of parliamentary
law. No glove that has been wron half
an hour should be put away till it has
been pulled into shape and dried. Catch
ing at the wrist and pulling off wrong
side out is the approved way of remov-
ing glove, as that strains no portion of
it. If there is a rip in a finger, mend
it at once, for which purpose keep the
glove thread, always cotton and never
silk, a fine needle and a thimble in
your glove box. Turn the finger wrong
side out and whip the rip neatly to-
gether, fastening the thread by sewing
back a little; never knot. Then pull
the fingers gently into shape, and after
they have dried thoroughly, fold to-
gether and lay smoothly in the box. If
the gloves are new and light colored.
lay them between folds of white tissue
paper. Evening Star.

Curls in the Couture

There is decided effort just now to-
ward introducing curls into the coiffure.
When it is one long ringlet hanging
down the neck upon the shoulders, a
revival of what was popular in this
country about quarter of century ago

shorter ones. however, pendant from the

The Puzzle Bracelet

a novelty of more practical kind is
a puzzle lock bracelet, the chain of which
is secured by a lock formed of three re-
volving pieces engraved with figures or
letters. Only by arranging these in
some particular combination forming a
private code, can the lock be opened,
and as the figures may make an i'm
mense number Of combinations, the
"open sesame" is well nigh impossible
of attainment except by the owner.
The idea of this device is that the brace
let can be taken off and used to chain
bicycle to the railings while the rider
is in house or store, as fastening
to travelling bag, and for many other
purposes Of the sort.
