of chiffon hangs from the edge OF the
frame to fiutter gracefully about the
dainty head that 1t will shadow. There
are parasols for every occasion-the
drive, the morning walk. the afternoon
promenade and the links. The auto
mobile parasols this season are OF
plain silk, in different shades, red or
purple being the most fashionable.
They are equipped with wooden
handle of medium length, not very
thick, and are of medium size. finished
with a ruching of white liberty silk.
The coaching parasol Is made Of plain
or shaded silk. and appears as hereto
fore, with a thick. short handle. which
may be either in light or ebonized
wood.
Very beautiful are the new parasol
handles from Paris. The wood is In
pastel tints and the handles are deco
rated in cut steel. Sometimes the han
die Is covered with black velvet, upon
which the ornamentation in cut steel
appears in effective contrast. Another
fashionable parasol handle Is ball
entirely studded with rhinestones.

A Smart AmrrIcn Girl

An American girl, Miss Burdlett by
name, hopes to make a good thing out
of the coming Paris exposition. She
has bought the Pompeiian house, built
about forty years ago by Prince Je-
rome Napoleon. The house is on the
Cours la Refine, and Miss Burdlett pro-
poses to transform it into tea and re-
freshment rooms for weary sightseers.
Meals will be served in the atrium,
where musicians will play, just as when
"Plon Plon" gave Italian fetes there.
The Mattresses will wear Pompeiian
costumes, and, aside from the refresh
ment feature, the place will be well
worth seeing simply as curiosity.
Miss Burdlett expects to make enough
money during the exposition to pay
for the house.

is mixed with ground glass or blast

British are on the verge OF severe fight
ing In the neighborhood OF Thaban-
chu. The hope of overtaking and In.
tercepting the Beers, who are retreat
ing from Wepener and Dewetsdorp,
has been practically abandoned.
London critics generally expatiate
on Lord Roberts brilliant strategy"
and the generals mastery execu-
ton" OF his plans, though the main OBJ
ject of the recent comprehensive move
ments, In which between 10000 and
GO, 1000 troops were engaged, appears to
have failed.
However, from a British point OF
view satisfaction Is undoubtedly war
ranted, as the British field marshal has
succeeded in clearing his rear and
right flank.
The Manchester Guardian grieves
over what It calls the disappointing
outlook In the Orange Free State. II
says: Nothing substantial can be
pointed to as the result Of our six
weeks operations In the Orange Free
State. The house OF commons meets
in mood OF dependency and even
bitterness against the management OF
the war"
II has lately been stated that the
Beers are planning to abandon Pre-
oria and to take up a defensive posi-
ton in the Gutenberg district. Defen-
Bive positions In that region were
chosen early in the war, but It Is
doubtful II that idea excludes the de-
tense OF Pretoria. II Is believed prob
able that the capital will be held as
long as possible by comparatively
small force, while the main Boer army

Quaint Churches in ENGLAND.

In this county OF Yorkshire there
are probably more interesting and his
toricaF churches than in any other
part of the country, and get we find
in an article on English Churches,
Small and Quaint that the rarities
Of Yorkshire are entirely overlooked.
At Adel, for instance, there is prob
ably the one perfect Norman church
in England, with it's lions head on the
door for sanctuary. At Lastingham
there is the wonderful church founded
by st. Ceadda, which has a hole in the
aisle, dcwn which one descends to
find oneself in another church acting
.ass the fer The edifce above.
At Kirkdale stands the ancient church
built by Brand, the priest. which was
actually restored some years before
the Conqueror set foot on British soil.
Among the other numerous rarities
in churches which Yorkshire boasts
may be mentioned the Saxen frescoes
on the walls Of the aisles in the parish
church at Pickering.
In addition to the rarities too numer-
GUS to mention, it may be stated that
Yorkshire has more abbeys than a,lths

Fishes, like other animals, need air.
II, therefore, you can think of their
being SO situated that they cannot get
a supply of fresh air from some source
or other, they must perish. They
would be sufocated. When the sea
is frozen for miles, as in the Arctic
ocean, the fishes find it very hard to
rise to the surface for fresh air. They
must then take in the oxygen which
is dissolved in the water. When that
gas Of such vital Importance to every
creature is used up, there is nothing
left to sustain life, thus, strange as it
may seem, it is possible for fishes to be
