Waves to disappear.

A summers eve, calm and wailing tide,
A dismal stretch of sand that tries to hide
The bones Of some great vessel, PROV on high,
Outlined against the sunsets last faint glow
Athwart the sky.

QUEEN ELIZABETH'S FAULTS
She Was Very Vain and Unfortunately
Fond of Fine Dress.

Fond OF t1ne Dress.
Yet Elizabeth was never really sue
cesSful with her wardrobe as a more ,
feminine woman might have been. Her
dresses were never beautiful, only lu-
dicrOusly and most appropriately /
magnificent-ladenw with jewels, weight !
ed down with cloth of gold, stiff with
silver embroidery and so heavy that
even her big, powerful frame must, /
without Supporting vanity, have felt
the fatigue of carrying them about.
Elizabeth was certainly vain, but she
cannot claim femininity merely on that
account, for vanity is by no means an
exclusively feminine characteristic.
There are perhaps more vain women
than vain men because women have
more leisure and their costumes afford
greater opportunities for vanity than
the strangely hideous clothing which
custom has arranged for men, but no
thoughtful feminine) observer can
doubt that n vain man is Vainer than
vain woman.
Elizabeth's hands were her especial
pride, and, Judging from her portraits,
they were certainly beautiful. They
were laden with Jewels, and it was her
habit in public to pull her rings off
with absent artlessness and push them
on again, moving those white hands
about in the most obvious way. Once,
during the grave consideration of
state paper, wherein her cold sagacity
never took second place, she interrupt
ed the discussion to ask whether the
Due d AnjOu, who was at one time one
of her SuitOrS, had been told what a
pretty foot she had and how white and
well rounded was her arm? This in
the woman who financed the armada
with hard headed economy, who dared
the SuperstitiCus terrors of her own
conscience in her high handed and i'm
| pudent treatment of the bishops, whose
interest in methods of torture for state
prisoners was most mechanical and in
telligent, entirely unhampered by any
squeamish feminine hesitation as to
! blood or pain. is most curious.
In connection with this last charac-
! tcristic of cruelty vanity is not at all
Unprecedented. Indeed, if one observe
| closely one will notice that excessively
vain persons have almost always a
strange inclination toward cruelty
The accounts OF what Queen Elizabeth
| permitted and indeed commanded ii
this respect win hardly bear reading
by us sensitive folk today.-Margaret
Deland in Harper's Bazaar.
