The most is made of the war episode in this connection For instance, Ferdinand picks up a book and pretends to look for a photograph of hi ssunken fleet. Of course, the plot is nothing more than a thread to bring in score of specialties. This is really the feature of the show.

We entered upon it with purpose but that of hu- manity; no desire for new territory, no de- sire of aggrandizement, no desire to extend our territory, but that we might stop the oppression of our neighbors, whose groans we could almost hear. Happily for us, Win our splendid army and our no less splendid navy, the war was concluded in little more than 100 days. Nothing like it is chronicled in the military annals of the world.

 We sent our troops 1000 niles by the sea to the east; we sent them more than a thousand miles to the west.

In 1.-THE Quest of the Golden Grip the
author grows most enthusiastic and
uses capitals to express his enthusiasm
for THE Girl Who Works" Today she is
many; she is rich; she is poor; she is
nobody; she is a great swell; she may
| be Peter Cooper's daughter, who sup
plies various restaurants with eggs and
milk, or she may be little Miss Bios
som, from a country town, who is busy
all day long behind a desk. But you
are entirely out Of the world-that is,
out of the fashion-unless you buy ev-

Works.
For wear with your tailor made gown
you are nobody unless you deal with
the latest fashionable shopkeeper-that
is to say, you must get your big pulled
scarf, your narrow string tie, your me-
dunn sized teck, or whatever you may
lean to in the way of scarfs, from the
tombstone Bennett Neckwear company
That is the business into which the
clever little actress has gone, initiating
titled woman in London. You go to
the handsome building; you ride up sew
eral flights in the elevator, and, wishing
the newest thing in scarfs, you enter an
artistically furnished room and then
wonder where the stock is. There is no
sign of trade. The room has been prop
erly arranged by a famous Boston house
decorator, and when you speak to one
of the pleasant women standing around
you are shown the richest as we'll as the
newest materials. There are pictures
or samples of the styles, but your spe-
cial scarf will be made to order for you
and, delight of delights, you will have
one like the one that 1 ordered, which

girls are all going there for their scarfs.
That the scarfs are well made goes
without saying, but every woman likes
this individual ownership, and then, too,
every piece of silk or brocade or madras
or lawn, or whatever il may be that is
used, is made especially for this firm.
and the manufacturer cannot sell the
pattern to any one else in America. We
women are all selfish in loving that best
which nobody else can get; that is why
we are faithful to men.
Enthusiastic? OF course I'm enthusi-

But there are worse things than being
enthusiastic.
Enthusiasm is not bad thing when
it induces you to do the right thing at
the right time.
Enthusiasm is not a bad thing when
it induces you to give of your sympathy
or your money where it is most needed.
Enthusiasm is not a bad thing when
it induces you to stand UP boldly for
your friend and to show a cold shoulder
to your enemy.
Enthusiasm is not bad thing when
it induces you to be kind, sympathetic
and loyal; it is only bad when it makes
you bitter of speech and cold of heart,

way either you or

love affairs of lower Europe and the
steerage. After days and weeks of
watching Mrs. Stucklin's work it be-
comes apparent that immigration to
this country is considered the cure all
for Europe's unhappy affairs of the
heart and passions. Whether in cabin
or steerage, clippers are detained by the
bureau if detected.
When an clipping couple appears, no
matter by whom discovered. they are
turned over to Mrs. Stucklin. She
speaks German and English fiuently
and has gained sufficient mastery Of
about all the languages and dialects to
obtain all the information necessary
from the women she handles. Some
times it is a stubborn case. where for
days both parties deny their relations
and other men offer to wed the girl and
even other women claim the man as
their lawful husband. What tangles
these women of the Storage and their
heart affairs do weave no romance
writer has ever surpassed. Some
Of the affairs become humorous and
even run the gamut of emotions TO end
in the woman or man being ordered de-
ported to the port from which he
came 1t is impossible to understand
the extraordinary scale of ingenious
plots and emotions the human peasant
heart is capable of until, like Mrs.

arriving people with their heart affairs

Scotch College Girls.

Since the college doors were opened
to women in Scotland the students have
shown a pardonable patriotism in many
curious ways. The formal college cap
has met new rivals in the Flora Mac

chieftain. In wearing apparel there has
been revival of Scotch friezes, Gale
DOMAIN shawls and historical plaids and
tartans. Some of the college clubs and
societies have adopted as a uniform
the style made famous by great women
of Scotch history.
The most general of all fashions. how
ever, is the use of tartans for street and
college costumes. The effect is describ-
ed as most happy bringing to mind the
