be lobster chowder for dinner at ,
O'Clock. Would they try a dip at the
short beach by the runway between
Elm and Elm, Jr.7 They would-that
Is, the young people would, and Mrs.
Hart would watch the sport from the
beach.
once in the water, Mary's spirits
seemed bubbling over and she was
soon daring Dalton TO try q race to q
dory moored a short distance from the
beach. He seemed reluctant at first,
aud was sure II was too near the cur
rent Of the runway. but to take a dare
from Mary and have her taunt him
with n lack Of courage was too much
for n young man Of his temperament.
She was wading toward the boat.
and when but n few strokes from II,
called back laughingly: "Will you
swim for IT. Tom1 II you reach it
FIRST. I'll be your prize, SIR
He was striking out after her as soon
as the words had left her lips.
She had nearly reached the dory and.
confident Of winning the race, put her
hand up to catch the gunwale, missed
It and suddenly discovered she was out
Of depth and in the runway current.
"TOmi' she cried, and then all Tom
saw was n pair Of frightened %upturned
eyes and n terror stricken face as she
swept under the surface.
A nne predicament for a lover who
was not n brave man and who had
barely learned TO swim! Drawing n
deep breath, blind to all danger and
with no thought but to save her or die
with her, Tom struck out into the cur
rent and under the surface.
His heart thumped wildly as he felt
q mass Of that sun gold hair come into
his grasp, and in a moment more they
rose TO the surface. Through his salt
dimmed eyes Tom saw a bit Of rope
and grasped it. They had come up I'm.
der the stern of the dory, which had
swung into the current with them, and
he was now firmly gripping n bit Of
painter which hung over the stern.
In a few minutes more he had lifted
her over the side, clambercd in after
and was chatting her hands briskly.
Mrs. Harris cries from the beach had
brought the Cobbs to the scene, and
Master Harry was running a dory down
the beach 20 the rescue.
II had all happened in n very few
minutes. Mary opened her eyes, smiled
and said, you needn't rub all the skin
Off my hands. sir"
Thank Godl She is all right" said
Tom fervently.
TON. dear, you reached the dory
first. Kiss uC. sir! You WON'T

alongside.

British n,rrlsters, Wig.

The wigs worn In English courts were
formerly made Of human hair, and ii
is on record that the white hair Of a
woman who lived to be 100 years old
was sold for that purpose for $50. In
1927 the Old form Of powdered wig
which was somewhat of a nuisance be-
cause the powder came of and the hair
frequently required recurilng-was su-
pcrsedcd by the horsehair wig.
Only about 100 Of these legal orna-
mcnts are made annually. A good ar
ticle win last for n quarter OF a cen
fury, and. moreover. barristcrs do not
altogether appreciate new wigs, as they
suggest that the wearcr Is new to the
business and consequently has not had
much experience.
The COS 'ries from l to 70 gulneas.
The form ICE purchases m ordi-
nary article, while the latter is the sum
paid for what is known as a full bot
toned" wig, which is usually worn by
tie leading barristcrs on the occasion
Of n great trial. 1t is also the kind
which adorns the head Of the speaker
OF the house Of commons.
Most Of the horsehair IS imported
but the home product is the best and i:
that used In the costliest wigs.-Lon

Americans Are Easily swindled on
Pictures by eOI M~nstera.v
There will doubtless V come a
time in the history of the art world
when the discovery Of ''old masters
will cease, certainly not as long as
American picture buyers possess the
almighty dollar and are willing to be
swindled.
Nearly every week In New York for
the last year there have been auction
sales of rare old masters" Some Of
them are rare, indeed; one that was
shown at the Macbeth gallery and also
In Detroit some time ago, supposed to
be n study of an old man by Rubens,
the left hand Of which was nearly
twice the size Of It's mate, and the term
rare" did certainly apply very aptly
to the flesh tlnts.
Do people ever stop to think how
many Of these 'old masters there are
in existence? Any one may have an
"old MASTER these days who has the
price to pay the dealer to find one or
go abroad and get one made" There
are many artists In Paris and else
where who make n good living, or
what they consider a good living. copy
ing "old masters" in the various gal
leries to sell to dealers for little or
nothing, and they in turn bring them
to America and clear hundreds by sell
ing them to some moneyed art lover
who In some cases is doubtless in the
possession Of more money than judg-
ment in art matters.
One well known New York art col
lector some time ago paid a large sum
for a certain painting that an enter
prislng dealer had discovered" and
who represented it to him as very rare
and the only one in existence. The
same gentleman while on a recent tour
through Spain was shown the original
painting upon the walls of a certain
monastery. The sequel Of the story
docs not say what he did with the
dealer. If there be a hereafter for these
discoveries of "old masters" their con-
sciences, which seem very elastic, will
have to do a deal Of %rubbering to get
back to the required shape to fit them
for their celestial abiding places or to
meet the frowns of the shades of de
parted masters themselves.-Detroit
