and saw the white teeth and red, loll-
ing tongues several rods in the rear
and for some minutes I steady drew
away from them. Then, as a turn OF
the river deprived me of my advan-
tage from the wind, was barely able
to hold what had won.
1T was now growing very dark; ]
could barely make out my tracks be-
tween the blacker shadows of the river
banks I was weary beyond the pos
sibility Of any further squirting, and
Lorena. I think, was scarcely con-
sciOus; but in the distance I thought
caught a glimpse Of the village lights
on the hill.
Then. ali at once, I felt the ice
yielding and cracking under our weight
but only for moment-we did mot
quite break through. and again I felt
the solid floor of the frozen river be-
meath my feet. Behind us rose a loud
splashing and a chorus of yelps, show
ing that the pursuing wolf-pack had
not been so lucky. A minute later we
swung around sharp bend into the
light of big fire on the bank. The
men who had been grouped about it
stalwart fellows in lumbermen's dress
were running toward us with guns
and axes. We passed between them
and slowly came to stop; we were
saved.
These men. I found. had been al
work on the river during the after
noon cutting ice. The wide opening
they had left had quickly frozen over
but this new ice was still very thin
Our speed had barely carried us over
but when the huddled wolf-pack burst
upon it's surface, already cracked by
our passage. the brutes went through
in mass. OF course most If not all
of them got out; but they must have
had a tough night Of it, for the ther-
mometer went below zero. Only two
or three dejected-looking specimens
came in sight roun4 the bend. Their
coats were SO stiff with ice that they
could hardly crawl and none of them
ventured near the fire. The men could
have shot them without much trouble;
but we were safe-that was the main
thing-and the weather was too cold to
60 chasing vermin.
The old guide rose to his feet.
Time to turn in,' he said as we
still sat motionless. "You needn't
worry: there are no wolves here
now"

out. And now will try to give you
some idea of what the hieroglyphics
are, and how they came to be used.
When the Egyptians first began to
attempt to write, having as yet no al
phabet, they evidently set to work
much after the manner of savages or
small children. When they wanted to
record anything they made a rough
picture of it. If they had offered a
sacrifice Of three rams, they simply
drew three rams with the figure of a
man standing beside them with an axe
or knife. The next step was doubtless
to simplify this by drawing merely the
heads of the rams, with an axe depict
ed close by; and the figure or emblem
Of the god in whose honor the animals
were slain might be added. The first
method is purely graphic; the second
is in some degree symbolical.
But long before the carving of the
earliest inscriptions now seen in
Egypt, the makers Of them had gone

Attractive Street Gowns.

The plastron fattens the front of the
figure. 1t is distinctly a Northern or
Western fashion, just as the swathing
draperies are Eastern-Greek, Japanese,
Hindu. With clinging robes the Orien-
tails give freedom to the upper part of
the figure. The woman of the West and
North, whatever her skirts, has always
preferred high corset with "busk"
front, incrusted with ornamentation.
To have this fashion come back is the
usual; to combine scanty draperies
with it is bizarre.
Elizabeth wore farthingale with her
stomacher. The f1attened front bodice
presupposes hoop-skirts, hustle or pan
niers. The tendency of the moment is
to throw aside the hip pads and bustles
which have been in use lately; but as
precedent is never wholly disregarded,
heavy fiat panniers are coming into
vogue, this nominal Difference to GUS
tom not interfering at all with the
winding sheet idea.
1t is not to be supposed that fluffy
waists will go out Immediately. For
tunately there is no longer the fashion;
there are fashions. One design, which
with individual notifications promises
to be popular, is a close copy of Mary
Queen of Scots costume. In one of her
best known pictures Mary Stuart is
shown wearing a princess dress open
down the entire front and with a short
train. The dress is of velvet and has
tight sleeves with turned back lace
cuffs and very little fullness at the
shoulders. 1t is worn over brocaded
underskirt and a pointed bodice, such
as the shops are full Of at the present
time. With the exception of the small
ruff and of the headdress, modern ele-
gantes are following this model in de-
tail. The underskirt is ruffled to the
waist in some case. In others the over
dress-call it overskirt or redingote or
prlncess--is made double. the one skirt
coming to the ground, the other stop
ping at three-quarters length, like q
polonaise. In almost every instance the
under-dress is Of different material
Another idea which has strong fol-
lowing is to wear a pointed apron over
skirt. real or simulated, of the same
material as the waist; the underskirt
offering contrast. A French model
for example, has waist and overskirt
Of black lace over white silk, collar
band, sleeves, sash and underskirt be-
ing of new shade Of pink silk; pink
that has kept company with cerise and
salmon.
Some of the more pronounced of the
serpent dresses have shawl draperies.
The shawls are wound about the figure
opening behind. A costume more or
less on this order is of fancy wool
striped with raspberry red and grey.
The skirt Is quite full at the bottom,
swirling about the feet. Above the

EXEMPTED the Diamond.

A young man in Kentucky who had
not found it convenient to pay a tail
or's bill was brought up on a creditors
bill by the cruel tailor before a very
kind-hearted vice chancellor, who liked
the youth. He was handsomely dressed
and wore a costly diamond stud in his
shirt bosom, but declared under oath
that he had no property except his
wearing apparel. The tailor's lawyer
claimed that a diamond stud was not
an article of exempt apparel and asked
for it's surrender. but the judge ruled
that the diamond button held the parts
of the shirt together, and it's removal
would lead to indecent exposure of the
person. Then the lawyer urged that
the shirt was of the new kind, which
buttoned in the back, but the Judge
met this by saying:
1.-The presumption of the law is that
shirts button in the front, and the court
does not judicially know that shirts
ever button in the back. The court will
not require the defendant to submit to
an examination to rebut the presump-
tion."
And so the diamond remained in the
bosom which cherished it.

every day, breakfast-at-eight human

The way to look like the veiled, float
ing figure on the cover Of a seaside
shocker is to have your skirt lined with
fine soft wool, instead of silk, and to
swaddle and swathe it SO closely that
you can't step. 1t is necessary also to
have your dress SO long in front that
you tumble over 1t and to leave a drag
gle-tail behind to twist itself about
your feet at every movement, as If you
had put on by accident the gown Of
your taller sister.
The serpent woman is apt to have
red hair, although she may be dark
skinned. Her favorite color is grey
blue, contrasting with a crimson or
scarlet sash. The favorite color of the
sentimental heroine is forget-me-not
blue. Because of these things 1t hap
pens that the shops are full of blue.
No color but yellow, dear to many SER
pent women also, approaches it in
popularity.
The serpent woman likes glittering
scales therefore the jetted and span
gled nets and gauze which were declin-
ing in favor have been restored to pres
tige. Here is the common interest of
the snake and the goddess fortified be-
hind damascened armor. The plastron
lives by tinsel work and spangles.
