Modelling vases, StatuetteS and other
ornamental bric-a-br2c in terra Gotta
is the occupation which several New
York women have taken up. This is
not the first advance Of the fair sex
in this line of work, as women have
been employed for practical modelling
in a number of large terra Gotta facto-
ries for some time. The use of terra
Gotta dates prior TO the time to which
our histories reach. 1t is stated that
the children of Seth, the son of Adam,
built two pillars, one of brick and one
CT stone, and they inscribed upon each
of them the discoveries they made con-
corning the heavenly bodies, so that
these inventions might be preserved
10 mankind and not be lost before they
became sufficiently known The word
terra Gotta was then unknown. In lI6o
an old well was opened accidentally by
some wOrknen in POrta Latina, at
Rome. In L was found Egyptian and
Roman statues in terra Gotta, which
were taken to England. Bas reliefs
were also eXhumed at the same time.
Among the specimens of Roman cera-
mic art are its metopes and historical
friezes. The exquisite bas-reliefs of
Lucadella Robbia are known to all low
ers of the beautiful. The name terra
Gotta was first used by the Italians.
Terra Gotta has great lasting qualities
when made of the proper mixture of
clays and when we'll fired. In beauty
of color it has an advantage over
stone. for by the use of chemicals al
most any color can be produced, and
they are found to be less apt to change
under atmospheric influences.

Matchmaking I'm France,

The theory of the philosophy of love
and marriage is radically different in
France and America. In this coun-
try the fundamental idea is an unac-
countable and irrational attraction
which presumably can arise but
once in a lifetime and can be felt only
for a single person among the thou
sands met in the course of early life.
This theory is a sort Of survival of the
love science of ch:valry. tempered by
q Renaissance of PlatO's doctrine that
souls were sent into this world in pairs
and circulated in this mundane sphere
disconsolate until the 'cOequal and
harmonious" mates happened to
meet" When they did meet each rec

Miss Dimsdale, don't you know

But no. the hand remained perfectly

Can you make me no sign that you

you this about Dorothy. 1t will make
you quite easy in your mind about
her.
Still she did not move or speak, but
after moment or SO her eyes slowly
opened and she looked at him.

troubling to know what will happen
to Dorothy if YOU should die in this
illness. Is that it?"
Yes" She had managed to speak
intelligibly at last, and Dick pressed

There was another silence; then the

which the three listeners knew was,

an agony, say one word TO me-to

The dying eyes turned toward the
faithful servant, and fickering smile

DIZZINESS IN ELEVATORS.
EOw Women Subject to 1t Can nd
Themselves of the Feeling.

While men are subject to a feeling Of
dizziness when in elevators, women
feel it TO a greater degree. The cause
of this sensation of dizziness is said 10
rest with the circulatOry and not with
the nervous system. a physician some
years ago tried the effect OF simply in
haling a breath just before the eleva-
tor started. either up or down, and
holding his breath for a few seconds
till the elevator got well under way,
and to his great pleasure found no dir
illness occurred. He recommends this
method TO all women who are subject
to this dizzy feeling when descending
at a rapid rate. The explanation is
very simple The maintenance of the
inflated condition Of the lungs renders
tense the system of blood vessels
throughout the whole body, thus pre-
venting the extra fullness of the blood
vessels of the brain, which otherwise
occurs when the sudden movement is
downward, and vice versa, that Of vac
uity of the blood vessels of the cranial
cavity when the sudden movement IL

explained to her; but I'll get leave the

and Barbara promised too. believing
quite that Mr. Harris wished to say
nothing about marrying and giving in
marriage while the dear mistress of
the house lay cold and still within It,.
1t was sad and wretched day. The
news spread quickly through the
neighborhood, and every few minutes
inquirers came to the door to hear the
details from Barbara and ask kindly
for Dorothy. And about noon. by the
time Dorothy had dragged herself out
of bed and was sitting miserably be-
side the drawingroom fire, David
Stevenson rode along the avenue anu
told Barbara that he wanted to see
Miss Dorothy.
Miss Dorothy is very poorly and
upset, sir" said Barbara, who had a
sort of instinct that Dorothy would
rather not see this particular visitor.
Yes. but / must see her all the

she?"

And in the quiet watches of that
night Marion Dimsdale passed quietly
away. just as the tide turned backward

a Modest Skating Rig.

The modest skating costume has
skirt cut about four inches shorter
than a walking skirt. Ii fits snugly
about the hips and flares trifie at
the bottom. Short fur bOleroes are
much in vogue and they are worn over
a Russian blouse, held in place at the
waist line by fancy belt. Skirts are
trimmed with bands of fur. Every
costume for the ice has a muff to
match the fur which trims the gown.
A dainty evening frock is of a black
lace over pale green silk, the lace on
the front of the skirt describing down
ward points, enriched with sequins.
The lace forms a bolero over a full
front of green chiffon, and telling
touches of crocus mauve are added in
the clusters of hydrangea and loops of
satin ribbon. The sleeves are long,
and consist of black set over green
chiffon. The bodice is half-high in
front, and is cut away in a big V in
the back. Another charming frock is
of white and gold brocade with five
ruches of yellow chiffon around the
skirt Folds of the chiffon are draped
from the left shoulder to the waist,

COMPLETION OF THE BIBLE.


Generally Believed to Have Been Reached
About A. ID. $50.
Scholars differ in opinion as to the
date at which the books now found in
the New Testament were completed.
says the Review of Reviews, but it is
probable that this was accomplished
not later than $50. Many centuries
have passed since the formation of the
old testament. but the new was all
written within a single hundred years
The decision as to which books should
be received into the new canon was
not so quickly reached. for the earliest
fathers of the church frequently quote
from other gospels, such as one &c
cording to the Egyptians" or accord
ing to the Hebrews" and the Syrian
church accepted some books not re-
ceived by that of North America, or
the western church and vice versa.
There is legerd that at the first ecum
enical council of Nicaea. 325. copies OF
the Christian literature then current
were laid beneath the altar and the
genuine books leaped out Of the mass
and ranged themselves on the ALTA.
1t probably contains germ of the truth
that at this convOcation il was de-
cided that the books now received
were apostolic or written under apos-
tolic direction, and the others were
spurious. Be that as it may the judg-
ment of several generations of Chris
tians certainly decided upon the value
of these books as distinguished from
many others written at about that tire
or later, and the council OF Carthage
(397) Is said to have fixed the canon.
The word canon" was first used by
Athanasius, in the fourth century, in
the sense Of accepted" or author

costume for herself. 1t was not so
very elaborate, yet it was the prettiest
thing that the snOwbirdS have seen.
The gown itself was a blue serge,
rather coarse, and made upon the most
simple lines. with the waist coming
to a long point in the front. 1t was
trimmed with bands of Persian lamb,
put on in Grecian design around the
skirt. The waist had broad lapels of
the lamb and the collar was square
one of the fur. The muff was of Per-
sian lamb, lined with the most brill
liant scarlet satin. A piece of the same
scarlet satin formed the vest. which
was absolutely startling in its bril-
liancy. The standing collar was Of the
same satin, made in a perfectly plain
band. The girl wore a toque Of blue
velvet. with baggy crown. At each
side of the toque stood lovely red
birds. Her gloves were white dogskin,
but some days she wears pair OF the
new heavy bright red ones.

thy-I-"
DO you know" asked David, with
exasperating calmness, that l am
Miss Dimsdales sole executor? No,
thought not. Then you will understand
now perhaps, that it is necessary that
L should see her-to find out her
wishes with regard to the funeral for
one thing, and to give her authority to
have her black frOcks made for an
other; and then, poor Barbara hav-
ing shrunk away scared and trembling
from this new and strange David
stevenson, whom she did not seem to
know at all, he went straight to the
drawing room, going in and shutting
the door behind him.
Dorothy jumped up with a cry al
most of alarm when she saw who had
thus entered. There" said he, cold
ly. mOtiOning her back to her chair,
don't be afraid: shall not hurt YOU"
and then he got himself a chair and
set it little way from hers.
Il was obliged to come and see you
at once, Dorothy" he said, in cold
and formal way, because your poor
aunt made me the sole executor under
her will. But first let me say how
very, very sorry l am that l have to
come like this. / have known Miss
Dimsdale all my life, and loved her al
ways"
Dorothy had sOftened a little at this,
and before he had ended his sentence
began to cry piteously. David Steven
son went on:
Il don't want to speak about the
reason why she left me in charge of
everything" he said-"at least, not
just now. Of course, she thought that
everything would be very different
with us. And then, too, she was a
good deal mixed up with me in bust
ness matters, and l believe she wished
that the outside world should know as
little of her affairs as possible Now.
Dorothy, it shall be as you wish; l
will either simply hear your wishes
about the funeral and the mourning
and all that, and tell you how your af-
fairs stand byand-by, or l Will tell
you now, whichever you like"
Il would rather know the worst

voice. She knew from his manner that
he had no comforting news to tell
her.

strained tone; and first l must ask

Another London Scandal.

English women, and American WON
on too will admire the pluck OF Mrs.
Andrew Barclay Walker, daughter-in-
law of Sir Andrew B. Walker of Liver
pool England, the wealthy brewer, fer
sueing her husband to recover posses
sion of the jewelry he gave her when
she was his fiancee. Mrs. Walker
recently obtained a separation from
her husband and $4,000 alimony annu-
ally. Walker then took possession of
Mrs. Walkers jewelry and refused to
return it. So she sued for it and the
iurv returned a verdict in her favor.
Walker is amply able TO pay the ali
mony. The young man inherited
large fortune. which, like many 9TH
ers in England, was made in beer. The
Walkers are Scotch. sometimes they
are said to be Glasgow to the back
bone. The grandfather of the defend
ant. plain Peter Walker. was a rag
and bone merchant of Glasgow. OF
a thrifty turn of mind, he and his son,
Sir Andrew, saved enough out of the
meager profits of their business to
start a public house or saloon. With
skill and business foresight the little
saloon has grown into one of the larg
est brewing firms in England.
Andrew Barclay Walker is 80 years
old and was graduated from Cam
bridge. He is not only yachtsman,
but an admirable polo player as we'll.
and it was a surprise when it became
known that he had plunged into dis
sipation. When the international cup
races we're occupying the public mini
two years ago, Mr.. Walkers name was
constantly on the lips of yachtsmen
on both sides of the Atlantic, because
there was a possibility that the Ailsa
would become the international cup
challenger in place of the Valkyrie III.

the agreement made by Lord Dunrayoo
had she proved faster than the latt ,r
