ANCIENT FASHION JARGON.

The language Of the fashion plate
and the woman's paper is sufficiently
appalling to the mere man even In
these days of emancipated and, we
may presume, more grammatical wom-
anhood, but, according to an extract
from fashion journal Of 1877, the jar
gon of over a century ago was even
more astounding. This is how the pa
per described the dress Of a certain
Mile. D. at the opera:
She appeared in a dress Of "stihed
sighs," ornamented with "superfuous
regrets" the bodice cut in perfect
candor" point and trimmed with Tin
discreet complaints" Her hair was
dressed in Sustained sentiments"
with q headdress of Sustained con.
quest" ornamented with several "fy-
aways" and "downcast eye" ribbons,
and her collar was "beggar on horse
back" color.
No doubt all these marvellous terms
conveyed some meaning to the fash
ionable woman Of the days when
French society danced on the edge Of
the volcano Of 1889, but to their de-
scendants of g. hundred years later
they have absolutely no meaning

with the purser and easily persuaded
that gentleman to call the passengers
together in the dining and music
rooms, which Joined. and then suggest
ed that Kirk himself take the baby and
90 up and tell his story and appeal for
help.
This time Malcom Kirk required no
urging to have the baby placed In his
arms. He would have gone with 1t in
to the presence Of all the crowned
heads of Europe and their families
even, although he knew well enough
that he looked and felt as queer as q
long legged, long armed, awkward man
ever looked and felt.
The women wrapped the baby up,
and he smiled when Kinks hands
clutched him.
"He doesn't care how homely and
awkward I am anyway" said Kirk to
himself, with a gulp in his throat. He
climbed up the rather steep stairs out
on to the lower deck. The storm was
almost spent. 1t was about o'clock
in the afternoon, and when he reached
the promenade deck be met the purser
himself, who led the way into the din
ing saloon.
The first cabin passengers Of that
steamer will never forget that incident
in their passage. They had gathered to
the number of 100 or more, many Of
them old travellers who were not af-
fected by storms. They had been told
that the orphan baby's friends below
wanted to tell his story, and they were
ready to listen to 1t, but they were not
prepared for the sight Of the baby
himself and his strange nurse.

steamers for New York. He had used
his money well, but he had so little at
the end Of the year that he took steer
age passage. That was one degree
lower than the intermediate, and he
smiled little grimly to himself as he
crowded into his noisy, close quarters
with French peasants and colony Of
Mennonite emigrants. However, it
was literally true that he loved people
regardless Of their condition, and to
many a simple, ignorant soul in the
steerage the American clergyman who
somehow was strangely there became
during the nine days voyage friend
and companion from whom they parted
with real regret and with loving men,

He started at once for Hermon. he
would have nearly two weeks there to
write out his report for the seminary.
Then for his Home Missionary field In
Kansas. And Dorothy Gilbert? He
had not heard except Indirectly any
thing of her. Once in Berlin he had
chanced to meet one Of the Hermon
professors who was taking his vaca-

the baby where the woman said he
ought to be.
But the tremendous storm was partly
to blame for that. Kirk braced his
feet against the legs Of the table and
held on to the baby as If it was life
preserver. The milk in the bottle was
first In one end Of 1t and then In the
other. Every time the baby missed
getting it he cried with vigor that
made Kirk afraid he would burst q
blood vessed or rupture his lungs. FL
nally, however, matters were adjusted
80 that the baby's hunger was satisfied,
and he dropped asleep In Kinks arms.
Kirk was so afraid to carry him over
to the cabin where he had been kept
that he held him for nearly an hour.
The storm howled over the vessel, and
there was a remarkable confusion OF
all. sorts Of noises in every part OF the
steamer. Kirk noticed, however, that
the stewards and one or two officers
who happened to pass through the cab
in were unconcerned. 1T will blow it.

statement Of the surgeon who came

ocean spray.

Eyes, yes" said Kirk eagerly. He
had long talk with the surgeon, and
next morning after the storm had sub
sided and they had gone out to breathe
the fine salt air Kirk had no difficulty
in persuading the surgeon to keep the
body Of the mother and help in some
way to get 1t to the sister In London.
"Aye, aye, we'll arrange 1t all right.
The company will see to that But the
expense Of the rest, man. Can't you
see to it that the passengers do some
thing for the baby to give him start

Kirk, and the fact revealed one Of his
great qualifications for the ministry.

ton. From him he had learned that
the Gilberts had been spending the
summer at the home Of Dorothy's aunt
in Beverly and were expected home
early in the fall. He wondered If he
should see her before he was obliged
to go west. The superintendent had
written him that the church would be
ready for him in September. he took
out the miniature. he would be obliged
to give 1t back. Would he2 But what
possible alternative could there be! He
still loved Dorothy Gilbert. Somehow
he felt as If she would be part Of his
future as she had been Of his past.

and took the first train for Hermon.
he bought a paper as he entered the
train. and as 1t was moving out of the
station he began to read. Among the
first items that caught his eye was
this:
'The publishing firm of Sydney, Gil
bert & Co. assigned yesterday. The
company was involved in the recent
syndicate failure In the book business.
Mr.. Gilbert's loss Is heavy. It Is
thought he saved little If anything
from the failure"
It was simply one item out Of score
of others stated in a cold, newspaper
style without comment But it made
Malcom Kirk tremble all over. What
effect would this have on Dorothy Gil
bert? If he. Malcom Kirk. was poor
and Dorothy Gilbert was now some
what nearer him in condition, what
of his love for her now?
He reached HeShon and went at
once to the presidents house. The
president had not come home from
his vacation, but was expected the
next day. Dorothy and her father were
still out Of town. He learned that
they might return that week. He look
ed up the steward of the building and
secured the key to his old room where
he had been allowed to keep his few
books and pieces Of furniture until he

any Of the new students.
He went IN and opened his curtains
and sat down. There across the IA
miliar campus was Dorothy Gilbert's
house. He sat there thinking deeply
about his future. Then he took out
the miniature and laid 1t lovingly In
his great brown palm.

A smile crossed nearly every face as
Kirk entered. As he began to speak
the smile passed off, and another look
crept oyer the faces Of the rich, re-
fined, leisurely people gathered in that
steamer. The first cabin drew very
near the intermediate for a few mo-
