Origin o. Some Famou. Fashions.

ORIGIN
1t is a singular fact in the history Of
fashions that not few Of the more
famous of them owe their origin to
the .endeavor to conceal personal de-
feet or deformity Of some distinguished
leader of society. Patches were in
vented in England in the reign Of Ed
ward vi. by foreign lady, who in this
manner ingeniously covered a wen on
her neck. Full bottomed wigs were in
vented by an ingenious French barber
for the purpose of concealing an I'M
natural protuberance on the shoulder
of the dauphin. Charles VII. of France
introduced long coats to hide his ILL
made legs. Shoes with very long points,
fully two feet in length, were invented
by Henry Plantagenet, Duke of Anjou,
to conceal a large excresence on one
Of his feet. When Francis I. was
obliged to wear his hair short, owing
to wound he received in the head,
short, hair at once became the fash
ion at his court. AS a set-off to the
examples quoted, we may note that,
not to conceal, but to display, her
charms. the beautiful Isabella of Ba-
varia introduced the fashion Of leav-
ing the shoulders and part of the neck
uncovered, in order to show the re.
markable fairness Of her skin.

me?"
"You might as we'll ask me-" re-
piled, IF think the sun will not rise
tomorrow. No, Mabel, it is impossible
that should ever doubt you; the mere
suggestion would make me unhappy,
did 1 not know you are all that is good
and pure and constant"
My answer did not appear to satisfy
her.
Suppose" she continued, with a
Woman's persistence, that circum-
stances should arise in your absence

yours"
"Why?" inquired, interrupting her.
II should never doubt" she an
swered, with a tender smile. "Know-
ing you from the time I was child,
and you being always my best and
dearest friend, my love for you and
faith in you have become part of my
life. So it comes natural to me. When
you first saw me you were man."
Yes" said, again interrupting her;
but man who had never loved any
woman but my mother. Well, go on"
Suppose, then" she repeated, chat
circumstances should arise in your alb
sence that might cause people to speak
of me through no fault of mine, as they
did of me and that mani knew that
she referred to Mr.. bruce, and that,
holding him in adherence she shrunk
from uttering his name-"would a sus-
picion of doubt of my love and faith
ever enter your mind? That is what
l want to know"
And when you know it, will you rest
satisfied" I asked, with light heart
and in light tone, land never think
again of such an impossibility."
Yes, Amos
"Well, then, will first show you
that can be as obstinate as yourself.
Do you know OF any such circumstance
likely to arise?"
She paused a moment before she re-
piled:
mo; know of none"
Then take my answer, my dearest.
Nothing could ever shake my faith in
you-nothing could ever weaken my
love for you. If any necessity really
existed that these words should be
spoken, 1 am glad that they are spoken
at Christmas. Henceforth this good
season holds more sacred place in my
heart, because it has brought me the
priceless blessing of your love; be-
cause, also, of the lesson it has taught
me-the lesson of faith. to live forever
uudimmed in my soul!'
She held me round the neck. and.
kissing me. tearfully, whispered that
she would never, never forget the words
l had spoken.
And so that happy Christmas flew
away all too swiftly, and the day ar
rived when my duties called me away
from my darlings side l will not dwell
upon our parting. The grief 1 suffered
is too deep for words. But hope was
before me-hope that perhaps on NV
next voyage should be in position to
claim my wife, and take her with me
in my ship as the captains lady.

China, and while we lay there unload
ing, the agents of the vessel accepted a
profitable charter for Australia The
gold fields had just been discovered in
that part of the world, and the chance
was not to be missed. I fretted at the
delay, but duty was before me. and
that stood first. We set sail for the
Australian coast. Our voyage was a
disastrous one. When within two DAYS
sail of our destination, our ship, The
Blue Jacket, was overtaken by violent
storm. which 80 disabled her that we
had to take to our boats. It happened
strangely enough that another vessel,
named The Blue Jacket, was caught in
this storm, and went down with all
hands We were more fortunate. Only
one man was lost-our skipper-so that
the command devolved npon me. We
were picked up and taken into Mel
bourne, and there I reported myself.
My great anxiety now was to get home
as soon as possible, but a temptation
was thrown in my way which could
not resist. i was offered the command
Of vessel belonging to the owners of
The Blue Jacket. This vessel was to
trade first to China, and there take in
cargo for London. TO successfully ac-
complish this to the satisfaction of my
owners would be as good as the making

The Neck and Throat,

The reason why pretty necks and
throats are much rarer possessions
nowadays than they were fifty or six
ty years ago is that for many years
past it has been the fashion to wear
high stiff collars. fastened tightly
round the throat. Tight collars cause
the neck to become yellow, and the
skin to become prematurely wrinkled
and baggy. A graceful carriage of the
neck is also impossible when a high,
close collar is worn. We are at last
beginning to recognize these truths,
and this season stiffened collars will
no longer be the mode. Often the first
signs Of age show themselves in the
throat. Daily massage, using a good
emollient. Is the best method Of keep
ing throat wrinkles at bay: this. II
persevered with, will also prevent vel.
lowness and scragginess Of the neck.
Singing exercises improve the appear
ance Of the throat, but. Of course, it Ii
imperative that singers should avoid
tight collars.

In Germany the Continental custom

removed from the wedding finger and
carried about in the waistcoat pocket
or purse, woe be to the husband
should he be unfortunate enough to be
discovered.
A story comes from Berlin about a
certain poulterer of Meissen, the loss
Of whose wedding ring utterly de-
stroyed for time the domestic peace
OF his home. At last, however, he was
able to vindicate his character. His
wife was receiving money at the till
one day when female customer walk

"Have you lost your wedding ring?"
she asked the poulterer.
The eyes of the jealous wife were
fixed upon him. He boldly replied in
the Affirmative.

artful smile, "here it is" The wife
glared. II bought sausage here the

the earliest opportunity the poulterer
went to the jewelers. and had the ring
