New STYLE in Note Paper.

Since 1.-THE Loveletters of an English
woman" and OF few other women APP
peared in public print 1t is noticeable that
the style in note paper has changed. The
sheets are no longer moderate in size,
but resemble sermon paper. OF course
1t Is evident If a girl Is to pour out her
soul by means of her pen she must have
room even for a postscript.
A secret has leaked out. Men-youny
society men-are wearing bracelets; not
In plain view. however. but clasped high
up on the left arm. The bracelets fasten
with a key. and, of course, some favored
girl keeps the key on her watch chain.
Possibly this is an imitation of the Ger
man Emperor, as 1t Is well known he
wears a watch bracelet and gold chain
bracelet. The Germans are notably poets
and sentimental, but somehow or other
this sort of thing looks silly on our mat

think so?

he has sailed all over the watery globe.

sea after having been in many disas-
tiers. He WAS wrecked in the South
Sea Islands ana only by miracle es-
capped with his life, but the most re-
nlarka6le experience he had was while
captain OF a schooner trading between
the sound and California ports.
On one occasion he took Il cargo OF
lumber from the sound to san Pedro
Before leaving the sound the shin's
carpenter made some repairs to The
huh of the vessel, and during his work
the chips from 4 piece of lumber he
was hewing fell into the hull of the
vessel between the lumber and its
sides, Shortly after leaving port tbs
vessel encountered q heavy gale, and
the shin commenced TO LEAK. The
sehoonee's pumps were started, bur the
chips which The carpenter had dropped
into her hold clogged them up. The
captain put his vessel right before the
wind ard ordered his men to take on;

While this was being done he stood
with the man at the wheel to see that
the schooner was kept right ahead OF
the wind. Waves of enormous height
were chasing the schooner, and one Of
these washed over the vessel from

It happened that so many valuable

that some OF the more careless losers
were discharged. Consequently, when
