The Monkey and the Hawk.

There lives in the south of France q
man of wealth whose chateau, or country
place of residence, has around it very tall
trees. The cook of the chateau has a
monkey, q pert fellow, who knows ever
30 many tricks. The monkey often helps
tho cook TO pluck the feathers from fowls.
One day tho oook gave the monkey two
partridges to pluck, and the monkey, seat
ing himself in an open window, went TO
work. He had picked the feathers from
one of the cartridges and placed it on the
outer ledge of the window with a satisfied
grunt when, 10! all at once a hawk few
down from one of the tall trees near by
and bore off the plucked bird. Master
Monkey was very angry. He shook his
fist at the hawk, which took a seat on one
of the limbs not far off and began to eat
the partridge with great relish. The own
er Of the chateau saw the sport, for he was
sitting in q grape arbor and crept up to
watch the end of it. The monkey picked
the other partridge, laid it on the ledge in
the same place and hid behind the window
screen on the inside.
The hawk was caught in this trap, for
when it few down after the partridge out
reached the monkey and caught the thief.
In a moment the hawks neck was wrung
and the monkey soon had the hawk
plucked.
Taking the two birds to the cook, the
monkey handed them to him, as If to say,
Here are your two partridges, master.
The cook thought that n of the birds
looked queer, but he served them on the
table. The owner of the house shook his
head when he saw the dish, and, telling
the cook of the trick, laughed heartily.

"Goodby, goodby to summer, the poet
sang, and we look at the fading glories of
shrub and tree, flower and vine, and echo
tie sentinsoDt.
Not that summer days are entirely gone,
but tho freshness and glory have faded just
a little-just a little, but still enough to
cause Us to see the change and deplore it.
We seestbe child develop into maturity
and then lose its delicate beauty, and before
we scarcely decide that it can be true, lol
the child is growing to an old man or
woman. It is tho moment of the change
tina is SO sad. We see the signs that fore
tell nj early decay, but we are powerless to
stop it.
So the vines and leaves begin to look
just a little dusty, with a foretaste of rus
set shades to come later, and nothing
looks SO rich and lush as it did only a few
days ago. A few days more and the change
will be still more marked, and yet a few
days and the little birds win be sitting
wonderingly upon the enuded trees. So
it goes, and sic transit gloria mundi.
But all sorrows, griefs and receptions

watch Your Ears.

A good rule to follow in standing or
walking is to hold the head 50 that the
lobe of the ear does not come farther for
ward han what may be known as the
shoulder scam of the dress. The old rule
Of "holding your head up is not always
safe, as, if overdone, we have stiff ungain-
illness instead of grace.
In walking do not fiex the knee more
than is necessary. Swing the leg from
the thigh with a free, elastic step.
Always place the weight of the body
upon the ball of the foot, lifting the heel
with q slight spring preparatory to the
next step.
Hold the chin in rather than out. If the
head is we'll held and the limbs rigid
enough to be firm and reliant. the abdo-
men cannot protrude, and the back will
naturally take a STRAIGHT, graceful line.

covering those PORTIONS.
There are many jackets cut away IN
front at the bottom and turned back at
the top to show the vest, which is sewed
fast to the jacket. Vests made to fit the
figure closely will be q feature of most
tailor suits. The vests are usually white
or some very light tint.
Many fanciful arrangements are madc
for dressy hasques, where the stuff is cut
away and filed in with lace over contrast
ing color. Fine lines of silk embroidery
In natural colors are seen as decorations
to some Of these basques.
One brown cloth basque had narrow
lines of this pink and green N silver en-
broidery along a1l edges. The vest was
white satin. One manufacturer declared
that the return to favor of the princess
gown and the vest basque marked the
deathblow of the blouse and shirt waist.
Looking at the hons of those two styles of
garments stacked up there ready to be sent
out, / rather wondered, but he still insist
ed that before spring we would have seen
the last of them in the city stores.
In that place was dainty frock Of black
lace over red silk. The apron front had q
quilting of black satin ribbon scalloped
around it, and around the bottom Of the
Dewey founce was another. The waist
was a dainty arrangement of white lace
and red satin milliner's folds, with a cream
colored satin belt.
White, black and cream colored satin
ribbon of the richest possible quality is
used as belts and other trimming. Some
times the black and white are mingled.
This is a fancy that bids fair 10 be very
much IN favor, particularly as it will also
prevail very largely in millinery.
A new idea in tennis gowns is worth
mention. Idon't think the original would
be very useful, but it may be copied in
more durable stuff. This was silver gray
poplin with pale green cords crosswise.
There was a sprung Dewey 1ounce and q
blouse with a vest front of gray satin sewed
with gold soutache in vermicelli design.
The sleeves had applications Of coarse
cream colored lace. The belt was Of green
silk. 1t was too pretty to play in, and
therefore ! suppose the young wearer con-
tented herself by simply looking too W.
fully killing for anything.

whole line Of Scotch plaids and ~tartans,
and they are not few, and then they go
crazy and mix themselves up with roman
stripes and oolors. Then they take a new
departure and resemble nothing SO much
as the steamer rugs. Blanket shawl plaids
are made up into the incest and nattiest of
golfing capes now and, in fact, have been
for a long while. In one of our principal
stores a whole suit was made of one of
these blanket shawls. The skirt was cut
SO that a bias seam came In the front. A
black waist was worn with this. The

did the pretty and saucy little cap.

Drive in another for the next note, and

for low notes the pins stand out higher.

he went at once to pay his respects TO
Princess Kaiulani. Away from the con-

under very different circumstances than
they had ever met before.
During the few days which the troop
ships remained at Honolulu Captain
Strong spent much time at the beautiful
home4of the princess. They rode together

and drove together when the rays OF noon

the coral reefs beyond the breakers where
few swimmers are strong enough to go.
The gossips say that the princess did not
look unkindly upon the broad shouldered

and one day when Captain Strong plunged
into the surf and, swimming out through
the foam capped breakers. placed on his
back a private soldier who had ventured
100 far and was drowning and brought
him back in safety to the shore the prin-
cess was the first to praise him for his gal
liant feat.
Captain Strong is a fine looking, man
ly young chap OF % who has not been
spoiled because his father was once mayor
of New York. Two years ago he was a
private In the ranks Of the ~Sixty-ninth
New York national guard. He was pro-
NOTED to quartermaster sergeant and rose
to the position Of battalion adjutant.
Early in the present year he was elected
captain of Company d simply because he
was a good ~guardsman and very popular.
When the war broke out, he enlisted with
his regiment and was made an aid on the
staff of General Otis.
1t is extremely probable that Captain
Strong found much to admire in Princess
Kaiulani, for che is a strikingly attractive
young woman. The princess. or more
properly Miss Cieghorn, I suppose, rs just
Captain Strong's age, and she looks as
much unlike an unoivifized Kanaka as
Captain Strong looks different from an
American Indian. She appears, In mot,
like a very well bred and very handsome
English girl.
Kaiulani, you know, Is half English,
anyway. Her father is the Hon. A. S.
Cieghorn, a PROMINENT English resident
In the Hawaiian Islands. Her mother was

Mr. Cleghorn has held some of the most

among them being that Of governor Of the
island of Oahu.
Princess Liliuokalani named her niece.

March Q. 1891, the fact being officially rec
