In England the ordinary domestic
pin had become in the fifteenth Gen.
tury an article of sufficient Importance
to warrant legislative notice. An act
of parliament passed in 1883 prohibit
ed the importation of pins. AS ne
cessity of the toilet pins were intro
duced into England in the latter part
of the fifteenth century by Catherine
Howard, queen of Henry VIII, who
received them from France.
Very good pins of brass were made
at this period, but a large portion of
them were made Of iron, which was
blanched and sold for brass pins. In
order to prevent this imposition upon
the good people of England parliament
in 1543 passed an act providing that
mo person shall put to sale any pins
but such as shall be double headed and
have the heads soldered fast to the
shanks of the pins. well smoothed, the
shanks well shapen, the points well
rounded. filed. canted and sharpened."
England continued to depend upon
France for its supply of pins till the
year 1926, when John Tilsby intro
duced the manufacture into Glouces-
tershire. In 1886 the manufacture was
introduced into Bristol and Birming-
ham. the latter place ultimately be-
coming the great center of the indus
try.

THE SIZE OF FAIRIES.

Creatures Who Live In the Poetry
of the EIiznbethan Age.
Readers of Elizabethan poetry are
familiar with fairies who fashion coats
from bats wing, fans from those of
butterflies, coverlets from the skins of
snakes, wage war with spiders and
make expeditions on the backs of flies.
Writers have commonly assumed that
such minuteness was the product of
poetic fancy. which reduced these spir
its to a size much below that admitted
by popular belief. but this is an error.
Folklore supplies us with abundant
examples of fairies who can carry no
from a molehill and make thread
bridge in order to traverse keyhole.
Concordant is the testimony of lam
guage. as when the foXglove passes for
being a fairy cap.
If a size so reduced cannot allow his
ethnology explain the qualities of these
fays. who in power do not differ from
their larger cousins. Queen Nab, no
larger than the jewel of a ring, is yet
charged with the functions of a birth
goddess. The least fairy can steal a
bride or baby; tenuity is of less con-
sequence. since any tiny sprite can at
will assume gigantic proportions. The
fairies who in one canton are repre-
sented as dwarfish in the next may be
described as gigantic.
The contrast. which cannot be ac-
counted for as arising from historical
memories. may be easily explained by
the early modes of conceiving nature.
In prehistoric conception mountain
might pass for large man, river for
tall one. while the inmates of petty
hillocks would naturally be imagined
as possessing form corresponding to
the narrow limits of their habitants.-

Twenty-third street in which all the

continued the man milliner as he came
to the next store, in which the women's
hats showed their backs, with their
bows, pendent ribbons and stream
ers.
"You see," he said, ga man looks at
woman's face, and so it is only the
front of the hat that he sees. and he
doesn't know any better than to show
the fronts when he is exhibiting hats
for sale.

the buyers, and they know that their

SELF CONTROL.

"What is the greatest thing in the

Self control"
81 thought you were going to say
love. Love rules the world. but self
control rules love. as indeed it rules
everything else. If you want to give a
man the key to success in life, give
him self control; therefore, since it is
the most useful thing in the world, it
is one of the first things you want to
teach your child. Teach him or her
for it is even more important for her
to be always master of the situation.
Teach the child that to feel disappoint-
ment inwardly cannot always be helped,
but to show 1t outwardly should al
ways be avoided. This doesn't neces-
sarily make a stole of the child. but
teaches it to enjoy the good things Of
life in moderation, as they are meant
to be enjoyed. 1t teaches it that no
one thing is worth stalking ones entire

HE has, of course, failed me ant

'He has, of course, failed me and
can never be again to me what he was
before his reconsideration of today.
''Do 1 really love him when I cannot
any longer perfectly admire him? Must
question myself further on this point.
"It is true l am disillusioned, but
feel it more dignifed on the whole to
ways been. The world need not know.
This is not sincere, of course, but
am disturbed and in doubt"
Paul Haviland, too, was disturbed
and in doubt, and it was while he was
in this mood that he went one morning
to the law Office and found, with as
tonishment, that blow had fallen on
Judge Parker.
He had been responsible for broth
er living in Wisconsin, bank cashier,
who, after a long probity, had alb
seconded with the bank funds, leaving
behind enough debts to ruin the judge.
The men in the office said that If
such thing had to happen to some
one it might as well happen to Judge
Parker, as he never took anything
hard
Paul felt the incident, an instance of
the injustice Of life, already symbol
lied to him in his own wrongs. He
mentioned his friends disaster to Mar
garet in the evening, considering it an
episode In keeping with the melan-
choly tone of their meeting, but they
talked very little about it, being still
too occupied with their own delicate
moral and temperamental problems.
However, when Paul went home that
night and saw the judge sitting on the
front steps with his hat on the back Of
his head talking to Nick as he had be-
fore his house was disgraced and his
fortunes ruined, he felt among his own
troubles sense of sympathy for fell
low sufferer.
AS he passed he touched the judges
coat sleeve lightly, as subtle sign of
regret, but his intention was evidently
quite imperceptible to the judge, for
the next morning at breakfast he OBJ
served ruminatively with an air of in
telligent, judicial interest:
"Well, Paul, d'you hear about Broth
er WHIP"
Paul stared at his plate and then
said delicately, "In life we cannot al
ways account for everything"
"That's what the bank directors
think" returned the judge loosely.
''Well, it's a queer thing-a mighty
queer thing. l knew a man who did
something like it here-and he resem-
bled Brother Will too.'
This was the only allusion the judge
ever made to the matter. Everything
in the old Parker house remained as it
was before Brother Wills lapse. The
Judge had never been extravagant. He
was not obliged to change in any way
his domestic or social customs, and it
will be seen that his spirits and life
had been less affected by his ruin than
had Paul Havilands by the remotest
shadow of adverse criticism.
Perhaps this sketch will be supposed
too decided in its contrasts to be a
thing Of facts. On the other hand, it
may be truthfully said that 1t is very
moderate presentation of the vivid
variety of persons, perhaps in the
world; certainly on the north side of
Chicago.

Richard Elliott wrote a preface al
most entirely of margins for the book,
commenting favorably on the re-
straint. suggestiveness and perfect
good breeding of Mr.. Haviland's lines,
and Paul had great fun in his own
way in writing them in the evenings.
while the judge had great fun in his
own way in seconding motions and in
Producing politicians in long. heavy
addresses at pOllulCal cluDS.
1t was a curious circumstance of
Pauls art that, while he himself was
of a very sensitive and impressible
nature, the attitude he chose to assume
in his verse, one described by Richard
Elliott in q magazine article on "Hav-
iland and Indifferentism," was exactly
Judge Parker's attitude, and that gen.
tleman might have asked with far
more sincerity:
Bah! What's the odds? Or rose or rue
What is the odds to me?
In the spring Of Paul Haviland's
stay at the old Parker house Margaret
Alden came to visit Chicago, and at
the time of her visit she and her lover
passed through long period of mental
suffering.
Their trouble arose on the day Of
heavy spring rain. They were to have
met in the Art institute, and Paul
Haviland. supposing that Margaret
Alden would not keep her tryst in the
worst storm Of the year, had not kept
his.
He was overwhelmed with contrition
at his mistake when he visited her in
the evening.
But when he said, 'sIt never occurred
to me that you would be there" and
she replied. Where there is question
I always do the more strenuous thing"
he was wounded. He disliked being
less strenuous than any one, even than
Margaret Alden. He did not enjoy
himself In her presence as he ordina-
rily did, and he began thinking that
the first beauty of their feeling had
vanished and wrote verses called
THE Lost Treasure" "Ashes" and
"Disillusionment."
Meanwhile Margaret wrote in her
diary:

The young man obeyed, and the

culprit sprang from the vehicle, darted
into a neighboring BARRIERS stall and
