that we ought not to touch land first

suggested that we cruise some distance
outside New York harbor until Thurs
day, but we knew that II we did that
we would be discovered and reported.
The weather looked a little squally.
and it seemed TO be better to be inside
the Hook than outside But the con-
sideration that really decided us to
come into port was to give Captain

MINERvA'S BOOK PLATES.
Study OF One of the Most Fascinating
HObbies.

The demand for book plates is on the
increase, the smart engravers and sta
tioners say. Every woman wants her
own special and particular book label,
and nearly every woman has very de-
cided ideas as to what it should be like
says the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser Following the custom OF those
few bookish ladies of olden days, they
embody their particular tastes in the
design OF their book plate. A harp or
Lutte signifies that the owner of the
books shares her love of literature with
a love Of music; needlewoman adopts
fanciful floral landscape, and those
proud persons whose grandparents all
died aristocratically Of govt, display
the united arms Of their fathers and
husbands. Women have been very sue
CeSsful designers Of book plates and
manage to get great deal of senti-
ment in their pictorial designs. One
woman whose heart is almost equally
divided between her children and ner
household and her books has a book
plate showing formal garden with a
house in the distance. In the fore
ground are three curly, cherubic heads
bent over huge book. On one side il
a distaff and on the other a pile OF
books bearing the names Of Shakes
peare. COrneille, Hugo and Thackeray,
among other favorites. Ellen Terry
has unique book plate, designed by
her son, Gordon Craig, being an outline
map Of her cottage at Winchester. The
italian book plates OF hundred years
ago were exquisite in design, but in
modern times Italians seem satisfied
with very simple labels, much like Or
binary visiting cards. Some book
plates are extant which Albert Durer
designed long before he began the Sc
riOus study of art. The study of book
plates is one of the most fascinating OF
hobbies, and the collection of these ar
tistiC designs is more interesting to a
student Of people than posters, as the
better plates are symbolic as well as ar
tistic and contain subtle indications OF
individual character. In the selection
Of suitable notices alone may be found
ample scope for originality and humor
The ideal design for a fair reader
book plate should be graceful, pretty
and gently seriOus-a thing of beauty,
neither fippant nor pedantiC.

A Diamond Lover In Love.

A collector of gems in Boston DOS
sessed three perfectly matched soli-
taires, of blue, rose and yellow, and
would show them to his friends as the
loveliest combination of colors he
knew anything about. The true lover
of gems prefers stones unset, so he
can stir them about with the point of

joy their unalloyed sparkle and pu-
rity in every phase of light. These
three perfectly colored diamonds,
which were carried in the mans

and then one of the precious stones
went into blazing engagement ring,
and the remaining two eventually
found themselves turned into Jew

Landseer's Early Triumphs.

Sir Edward Henry Landseer, R. A,
the great animal painter, who was
trained by his father from about six
years of age to sketch animals from life,
began exhibiting at the Royal academy
when he was only thirteen years old
At the academy, in 1918, when he was
sixteen, he exhibited a picture entitled
Dogs Fighting" which attracted gen.
eral attention, and was purchased by
Sir George Beaumont, the then &C.
knowledged head of the patrons and
connoisseurs of art in England. In the
following year he exhibited his Dogs
of ST. Gothard," the engraving of which
became very popular. Dogs and deer
were his favorite and best subjects;
the scene of several fine pictures wa:
laid in the Highlands, which he first
visited in 1924. In 1926 he was elected
an A. R. A., in 1880 an R. A., and in
1850 he was knighted. He died October
l, 1878, and was buried in st. Paul's
| The bronze lions at the foot OF Mel,
sons monument in Trafalgar square
London, were modelled by him.

A Pumpkin as a Wedding Fec.

A clergyman of Georgia was once
standing in the courthouse when a
Hoosier came in to see the ordinary in
person to procure a marriage license
The countryman asked for pair of IL
Censes," and on making the purchase
necessary to being united in the holy
bonds of matrimony inquired of the or
binary: "Who can git to marry me?"
The ordinary replied that he could per-
form the ceremony, or the parson,
standing near, would probably accom-
mOdate him. The countryman turned
to the parson and asked if he would
marry him. The parson readily con-
scented and asked the would-be bride
groom: Where's your gal?" He re-
piled: "Out yOnder-in the street"
The parson said, Fetch her in" Then
she was "fotch" in and the knot tied.
The bridegroom asked the parson the
amount of the Indebtedness incurred,
and was told that no charge was made,
but that he always left the matter for
the bridegroom to decide. The latter
replied: I've got no money. I've got
a load OF pumpkins out yonder. I'll
give you a pumpkin. "-Homiletic Re.

with unruffied philosophy.
Mrs. Delaford adhered to her resolu-
ton, although it was much tried by
sundry peculiar sounds she heard on
the outside of her door.
Maj. Delaford has carpenters at

II think you will repent it," said Mr..
Crinklethorpe, "for, by all accounts,

nor less than virago."
There are very few actions in this
world that one doesn't repent, in a
greater or less degree" said Maj. Della

Delaford. open that door quick"
Mad! Very mad, indeed" said
Maj. Delaford, in soto voce, turning to
Rosamond
"Ruffian!" cried the bride, chow dare
you speak so?"
Getting Violent" added the major,
shaking his head.
Let me out, say" persisted Mrs.
Delaford, rafting at the bars. What
does this absurd mummery mean"
Perhaps a strait waistcoat would be
advisable" said the major. But as
long as she remains tolerably man
ageable l shall not send her to an
asylum"
Mrs. Delaford began to cry.
ooh, Felix, how can you talk so?"
sobbed she. Il am as sane as you are"
Poor thing!" murmured the major,
insanity must be when one becomes
partially conscious of its deadly doom. ="
Mrs. Delaford shut the door rather
vehemently and began to cry hysteric-
ally.
I'm not mad" said she. 81 won't
be made a madwoman Of"
But how to help herself-that was
the question. The door was barred
effectually-the windows opened upon
the dead wall of a neighboring Insti-
tute of the Fine arts, and were three
stories above ground. She might have
shrieked herself hoarse in that direC-
ton before any one could hear her.
She sat down to think. What should
she do? What was to become Of her?
Did that dreadful hint of Felix con-
corning an asylum mean anything?
For once in her life Mrs. Washington
was actually frightened
Has my temper really been so ter
rible," she asked herself, that people
mistake it for-I can hardly breathe
the word-insanity?
1t was a new idea; she pondered over
it carefully and cried bitterly over it.
When Hetty came, as usual, with
the napkin-covered tray, Mrs. Della
ford's face was pale and tear-swollen.
"Hetty," said she, will you ask your
master to step up here for few
minutes?"
Maj. Delaford obeyed the summons

The major bowed. Justina burst in
to tears.
= Eyes, a brute, and I'm sorry I ever

And after that Mrs. Delaford did not
speak to her husband for two days
But as the major appeared in no wise
affected by this taciturnity she adopt
ed another plan, and scolded steadily
for three days.
