per of that few years ago, when we
all, sane though we might have been,
were trying to look candidates for
aerial honors, was reading delight
ed eulogy on it's charms.
In describing a charming frock at
tea the writer adds: "Who knows but
that enfranchisement may Turk in a
sleeve" So much for the influence of
the moment on our artistic percep-
tions. The sleeve of expanding per.
suasion adorns both the costume SIM
pie and the costume complex, it mat
ters not, and may be decorative or SIM
pie in either case.
Now going from hats to evening
costumes I must call attention to two
really charming opera cloaks designed
for summer wear. OF both of these
I show picture and Ia few words OF
description will suffice. One is formed
of black glace, strapped with black
ribbon-velvet. 1t is further ornament
ed by gold motifs ending in tassels.
The collar and cuffs are of lace. n
The other is of light cloth, trimmed
with deep founces of black and white
lace. The collar and long revers are
edged. with black and white embroid-
cry, bordering puftings of chiffon. The
design is completed by black velvet
ribbon forming bands, bows and
streamers.
An evening gown that is unusually
attractive also forms one of the illus
trations for this letter, and needs
must have few words of explanation.

And speaking of hats reminds me
that all New York seems to be mainly
concerning itself with hats and sleeves.
n hats it is impossible to say that any
one shape has things all its own way.
The blue and green color within is ubi-
quitous, but it favors a dozen different
types Of hat, hats little and hats big.
The poise off the face is common, how
ever, to all hat shapes, excepting the
picture hat, which both have brims
sharply turning down over the features
in front. The new poise will puzzle
many. It is one that has been intro
duced from Paris, and the French mill
liners who have come over to teach it
to us are most amusing in their efforts
to get us properly educated. They ad-
just the hat with the greatest deli
cacy from behind, watching closely
the while their every movement in the
rejecting mirror.
A French milliner's handling of
delicate hat is manual on manipula-
ton all ready made. The new poise
of the hat is not back on the head, but
up from the head. The brim of the
moment does not run with the head,
but up and away from it; consequent
| ly the line of the forehead pouf of hair
is left clean and undisturbed in sill
houette, and also in the full front. A
brim may, and often does, project we'll
forward, but It projects at an upward
angle.
1t is one thing to have the right hat,
another thing to know how to wear it;
the barest sailor may be worn properly
or improperly, which reminds me of
fascinating sailor saw recently. This
| particular sailor hat was of moderate
size with prettily rounded-up brim,
from the front of which started, one
on each side, pair of wings having
cabochons decoratively placed at what
we may call the root of each. Around
| the brim ran narrow plaitings OF tulle,
each one wedged into the top edge of
each straw. The straw~was wide, so
that gave about three ,tulle plaitings
encircling the brim. It was a sweet
sttle hat, and the whole thing was car
aed out in very pretty grassy shade

Summer frocks, for instance, are
seen in the shops and at the modistes
IN every conceivable variety, but one
cannot we'll imagine sweeter one than
an embroidered lawn, nor one more
elegantly economical, since it will

the soft, creamy, warm tone of it's

cessory. An ideal garden party frock
would be such lawn, with, twisted
round the waist and falling in long,
soft sash ends, cleaning Louisine rib

delicate pale green or a winsome
mauve; whilst, to some tastes, better
still would be mingling of two shades

In May and June steamers laden with
green peas and strawberries leave
Brittany daily for England. These are
the spoi's of the rich lands about Brest.
After Fashoda and the Dreyfus af-
fair, when an anti-Eng.ish feeling was
rampant, a grocer of this district, dis
tinguished in his abuse of the British,
denounced the whole race as ''despic-
able preserve-merchants."
"Why 'despicable preserve-mer-
chants?'" some one asked.
Because they make the jams they
sell to US. They have no sugar and nc
fruit. Despicable? Why, they take
our sugar and our fruit, and they make
us buy their jams!"
A story as slight as this from Rev
S. Barring Gould's Book of Brittany
would be overweighted by the addition
of moral, but it may be limited that
to err peasants and politicians-of 9
certain stripe-are liable alike.

IF LOVE WERE A SONG.

II Love were Song. would borrow his
voice
And, singing with notes of gold,
Would carry his messages, passing sweet,
To the hearts of the young and the old.
And the tones of my song should be borne
along
Like the Ginning of bells affair;
And my voice should be heard like lonely
bird,
Or the CLEAN of a falling star,
If Love were Song.
Il Love were a Flower, would borrow his
form,
And softly his heart unfold
TO the whispering sigh of the scented wind
Sweeping over the hills of gold.
And the blue in the eyes of the morning
skies
More radiantly fair should shine:
And the crimson streak on the mountains
cheek
Should deepen at sight of mine,
If Love were Flower
sBut II Love were Song he would languish
and die
With the effort that gave him birth.
And If Love were Flower, he must wither
and fade,
And his glory must fall to earth;
But his spirit Is bright. like the shaft Of
light
That shines out in the heart of storm,
And love doth last an eternity past,
An eternity still to GOMEZ!
For Love is our Home!

struck me that should like to take
up the case, and with the confidence
of youth I applied to the commits
sioner for permission to be allowed
to try my hand at unraveling the
mystery. What they thought of my
impudence I cannot say, but the fact
remains that my request, after being
backed up by my inspector, was
granted. The case was particular
ly complicated one, and at one time
l was beginning to- think that 1
should prove no more successful than
the others had been. In the end,
however, 1 came upon the murderer,
who, seeing himself very neatly
trapped, placed revolver to his right
temple and, before I could prevent
him, pulled the trigger.
At the conclusion of this case I re-
signed my position in the police of the
northern colony, and joined the detec-
tive staff in Melbourne, seeing in their
service good deal of queer life and
ferreting out not small number Of
extraordinary cases. The experience
gained there was invaluable, and led
me, after one particularly interesting
piece of business in which had the
good fortune to be most successful, to
entertain the notion of quitting gov
eminent employ altogether, and set
ting up for myself. did so, and soon
had more work upon my hand than
could very well accomplish. But 1
was too ambitious to be content with
small things, and eventually came to
the conclusion that there was not
enough scope in the colonies for me.
After Is years absence, therefore, I
returned to England spending yea1
in the further east en- route in order
to enlarge my experience, and to quail
ify myself for any work that might
come to me from that quarter.
On certain bitterly cold day in
January l reached Liverpool from the
United States, and took the train for
my old home. My father and mother
had long since died, and now all that
remained to me of them was the stone
slab that covered their resting place in
the quiet little churchyard at the foot
of the hill.
"Well, here 1 am" 1 said to myself,
"33 years old and alone in the world.
Nobody knows me in England, but it
won't be my fault if they don't hear of
George Fairfax before very long. I'll
be off to London and try my fortune
there"

did so:

He left in the Jemadar, and he thinks
we are lying dead in the jungle at this

we are not, is it? But when we get hold
