BEING q Good Hostexs.

A woman may possess wealth untold. she
may have the kindest of hearts and the
brightest Of minds. but unless she has alb
soluts control Of her feelings there will be
some time in her career as hostess that she
will display annoyance or furry. and the
contagton, spreading to her guests, will die
out in an undisguised failure.
A model hostess must to all appearances
be made of stone SO far as disagreeable
happenings are concerned. Even though
a guest or careless waiter inadvertently
breaks a bit Of china which can never be
replaced, she must smile as though the loss
of the whole set would but emphasize the
pleasure Of the evening. Her welI-bred
calm inspires her guests with feeling Of
confidence, and, though in her heart she
may be very dubious about certain impor-
tant details Of her dinner or dance, IL she
does not show her anxiety everything will
pass off to happy conclusion.
A f1urried hostess or nervous host whose
countenance but badly conceals the worry
felt can do more toward making the guests
uncomfortable than if the soup were
served stone cold and the salad dressing
was ruined by a too bountiful quantity Of
vinegar.
An imperturbable calm and ready tact
are the two important factors in the max
ing of a model hostess. Secure these by
hook or crook, and you need never fear for
the success of any of your entertainments.

said he, is 1t not glorious scene-is it not
a glorious country?'
AS good Peter brought out the fiagon Of
wine the ship in the harbor was discharg-
ing boatloads Of passengers over her black
sides.
Gentlemen" said Glymp. after the men
had taken up their glasses all filled with
bubbling wine, IT give you Miss Bessie
Brandon. the future Mistress Glymp."
The toast was drunk with a hearty good
will.
At this moment Glymp looked toward
the quay. His glass fell from his fingers
and shattered into fragments as 1t struck
the stone floor. Quick as flash he took
up the spyglass and leveled it at the group
upon the pier.
To fling aside his coat and draw up his
sleeves was but the work of moment,
and, with muttered prayer that because
of its intensity seemed well-nigh an oath
he strode down the path toward the land

to follow him.
He turned. Gentlemen, an you love
me, remain where you are!' The COM

demanded obedience, and obeyed 1t was.
AS Glymp swung rapidly down the path,

nead and shoulders above those surround

and simultaneously two shots rang out as
one. 1t seemed that each had anticipated
this action upon the part Of the other. and
at the moment Of firing, had QUICKLY
5ouked his head. Thus 1t happened that
the bullet from the strangers pistol found
Its billet in one Of the wooden pillars of
Burns portico. and Glymp's leaden mes
senger. doubtless. buried itself In the green
waters Of the bay.
Quickly they threw aside their now use-
Iess pistols and the next moment grappied
saVagely with each other. Glymp Leaned
toward the gigantic stranger, his lips were
seen TO move; upon that they wheeled
about. and with arms tightly interIocked

pleasant raillery. and. with singular una
nimity, they applied to him the sobriquet
of Black Roger.
1t occasioned comment Of a somewhat
negative character when Glymp trans

backed Dutch bench which stood upon the
portico. Ranged beside him. and with ar
obvious view to discouraging too init

At this time an afflicted monarch, ably

and there were not lacking those VINO saw

IAN you possessed a certain knowledge

While Glymp was taking his daily walk,
upon the morning following the liberty pole
festival, huge Spanish ship hove to with

The Winter Fashions.

AL the artiStS-meaning of course the ar
lists Of the fitting and show rooms-are Wy
ing with each other to produce the most ex-
Quisite harmonies that have yet been
achieved in the realms of dress. Cut up the
after sundown sky, with its lovely subtle
ties and diversities of hue melting one into
the other. and work them into some gen.
eral scheme of color. and you have the
house reception gown Of today. We are
borrowing in every direction, too, from
other countries that we may ring successive
changes in the matter of novel trimming.
The daring hues Of oriental embroidery, the
softer, more subdued tones Of the Egyptian
and the curious intricacies of the Chinese
work have all been called into reQuisition
to trim our smartest afternoon gowns
In spite, too, of the curtailing of the walk
ing skirt the reception gown still retains
it's elegant proportions, in many cases the
hare which was formerly supplied by the
shaped frill being produced by q series of
cores to the ground.
In walking attire there are a few very
important revolutions. Hairy cloths. such
softer and more luxurious development Of
both, are to be seen everywhere, often
strapped or trimmed with a smooth-faced
cloth of the same tone
Browns and reds take first rank among
the more popular colors during the winter,
and the shades and gradations in either
Of these are almost inexhaustible. The to-
bacco shade of last season has given place
except i'll the matter of trimmings to
dNper and warmer hues and the same DIFF
feAance Is observable in the reds, which
were somewhat cold and fiat last season.
1t Is matter of conjecture whether we
owe the docking Of our walking skirts to
reactfonary movement in the direction of
common sense or simply to a vagary of
Dame Fashion, wearying Of monotony. Be
that as it may, 1t Is certain that most smart
women who take the air. on foot will be
seen in gowns of very reasonable length
instead OF the heavy, trailing garments
which required so much effort to gather up.
