Hofmann's independence.

Josef Hofmann, the famous young
pianist, is fond OF all sorts of sports,
especially of skating, in which, as a
boy, he excelled. When visiting st.
Petersburg year or two Josef was
summoned to play before the ex-
Empress, the hour being named from
5 to in the afternoon. 1t was o
perfect day. The Neva was frozen
over, OF course, and the skating was
ut its height. Immediately after
luncheon Josef's father found his son
dressing as if to go to the palace.
"Where are you going?" he de-
manded.
''To play for the Empress.
"But you are not going until 3
O'clock"
s'Three o'clock! If I wait until
then it will be too late to go skating.
I'm going now"
He went. And it is not a surprise
to any one who knows Holman to
learn that he played for the ex-
Empress as soon as he reached the
palace, and that he then went off aud
skatel the rest of the afternoon.

Policemen in Strange Attire.

The policemen of La Paz, Bolivia,
wear scarlet overcoats with hoods
which they pull over their heads at
night until they look like MephIs-
topheles in the opera. They do not
patrol the streets, but stand at the
corners and every fifteen minutes at
night blow a melancholy strain upon
a whistle t . show that they are awake.
Then they change places with each
other. In the fashioned towns of
the interior it is still customary for
the police to call out the hours at
night and their voices have such a
melancholy tone that they sound like
the cry of lost soul.

There is very little disorder at La

JACKS GRIEVANCES.
How He Makes Them Known to the
Captain of the ship.

How He Makes Them Known to the
Captain of the ship.
There is now but one way open for
the enlisted man, bluejacket or mar
inc who has kick to register. He
must show his hand and file his COM
plant in his wnperson or name, verb.
ally or in writing. If twenty, fifty,
hundred enlisted men have u common
grievance, they must present that
grievance in delegation to the com.
manding officer, or in the form of
written bill of complaint, with their
signatures attached to it in the order
of their relative rating. In most cases
the method of presenting grievances
in delegation at the mast is resorted
to by the enlisted men of the Ameri-
can navy of today. The man with the
individual grievance occasionally puts
his complaint in writing and addresses
it to the secretary OF the navy. Com
manding officers are compelled by
regulations to forward all such COM
plants to the civil chief of the navy
with, however, whatever Endorsements
thereon they elect to make.
It's generally moderately bad job
for an enlisted man to write a nara
tive of woe to the secretary of the
navy. Such chap doesn't frequent
ly find his after career in the navy one
long dream of peace and quiet. En-
listed men who have drawn up un.
reasonable complaints-even com.
plants not entirely unreasonable
and thus addressed them, have gen
orally shed quite some saline tears in
their hammocks afterwards over the
foolishness of the act. 1t seems rea-
sonable to suppose, too-for human
nature is the same on sea and land
that no bluejacket or marine can pos.
sibly add to his sumtotal of comfort OF
happiness aboard ship by more or less
bluntly informing the civil head of the
navy department that the commanding
officer of the vessel on which he
serves is an unjust man, a bully or
man who doesn't know his business.
Yet this fact, which looks so obvious,
Is very often ignored by rash enlisted
men.

Sheldon sat down with radiant

face clouded, and the radiant smile
was gone. Miss Kenyon evidently
did not feel like talking.
All the next day. Tom could not get
her out of his mind. He was angry.
''The impudence of her," he thought
to himself, and resolved to ignore her
completely. But when he stood with
the bridegroom in the big church that
afternoon, and saw her coming toward
him in her lovely white frock, his
heart gave queer little turn, and
then seemed to stand still. In the
quick glance he had of her, he thought
she looked little pale. but SO pretty,
SO wonderfully pretty. AS she passed
by him, she looked up at him mo-
ment, Toms eyes were fixed above
her head, and he never glanced at

talking to Sheldon. His manner was
as cool as it we'll could be.
MAY see you a moment, Miss
Kenyon?" he said quietly, looking at
Sheldon.
''Mr Sheldon will excuse me? ?''said
the girl, which Sheldon did, with as
pleasant an expression as he could
muster.
They walked through the long
drawing room to the little rose recep-
tion room under the stairs. 1t was
quite deserted.

if I offended you last night. 1t is
perhaps needless to assure you that it
was unintentional. Will you pardon
me?" He stood before her, very stiff

Tom moved quickly. "Do you care
for that fellow" he said. ''Sheldon?"
"No," she whispered, her eyes
downcast. He hesitated moment.
Gould you ever care for me, little
one?" he sid wistfully. Because
you know 1 love you, dear. So
much, so much. l can't let you be so
hard to me-" and his voice broke a
little. Couldn't you try to love me

The coat is either a short basque coat

square revers, and collar that can be
either turned up or turned down, and
that is faced with dark blue silk. A
very odd and dainty touch is given to
the garment by inside revers of blue

Woes of a Title.

American women with title hunting
proclivities may get some idoa of the
benefits derived from such union
from the case of Mrs. Samuel J. Col
gate, who became the Countess of
Strafford. By the accidental death of
her noble spouse the countess became
a widow within few months after her
marriage. The small extent to which
she was esteemed by her late husband
may properly be gathered from the
fact that out of an estate of nearly
$150,000 the insignificant portion of
$4,000 was bequeathed to the Amer
lean widow, his lordship taking par
ticular pains to provide that all heir
looms and ancestral property should
descend to others.

A sheepdog, owned at Robin Hoods

patched by train to Liverpool, and
from there was removed to Egremont,
where it was housed in a back yard.
The next morning the dog was
missing, and notices which were dis

Rover, however, turned up day or
two ago at Robin Hoods Bay, weary

high wall in order to escape, crossed
the Mersey and travelled 10 miles to
reach his old home.

Cronstadt Blue and Automobile.

CrOnstauC Blue ana tAutOfnODie
Cronstadt blue is one of the most
beautiful tones in which cloth dresses
are being made. 1t is the tint of the
sea when the sky is blue and the sun
brilliant. A sapphire sometimes
achieves this glorious color, but is
more often too sombre or too pale. A
ribbed cloth IN cronstadt blue is
trimmed with bands of velvet in
slightly deeper tone. The triple cape
is in velvet, and the high, flaring col
lar is guipure over cronstadt blue
satin, with deep hem of sable all
round. Periwlnkle holds it's own
among all the new shades. It suits
the fashionable hair, as no other color
could, and almost invariably one finds
that with marigold hair the floral
trimming of hat or toque is shaded
hydrangea, periwinkle, pale mauYe
and softest rhododendron pink, deftly
shading into each other. Automobile
red is shown in many woolen goods,
and sometimes it is dotted over with
pea-spots, sometimes with irregular
squares in velvet of the same shade,
and occasionally the velvet pattern is
in black or brown on ground of the
automobile cloth.
