Modified Wing Collar.

Another novelty which 1 have been the
first to announce is a curious modification
of the wing collar. 1t is two inches high
and the wings are oblong instead. of tri-
angular This collar Is made by cutting
out the linen in such way that when laid
fat. with the ssud-tabs extended, the OBJ
long wings extend beyond the latter, but
they are turned and iron back 50 as to
leave an average space at the middle Of the
throat. The corners are all very, very
slightly rounded, no more.
The high silk hat Is hardly worn at all in
the evening this summer. An Aipine-sh
Panama is not thought at all out of the
way at night. but gray felt Alpine Is
better. The old opera hat or the high silk,
however. will come back all right after the
hot weather. The coat for evening dress
usually worn-for 20 one here goes about in
evening dress. despite the terribly hot
nights we are having, without an overcoat

which 1 must describe. 1t is very smart
and decidedly exclusive. and 1t will never
become vulgarized by being run into the
ground by the crowd, because il is far from
durable. 1 refer to light. silvery gray
frock coat and waistcoat, bound with a
narrow, dull silk braiding. introduced just
when braid on black coats and waistcoats
Is being abandoned.
This coat and waistcoat have certain SUBJ
tie differences Of cut. The coat is tighter
IN the waist than other frock coats, and it
has no exterior pockets at all. The cuffs
are single and have four buttons. The
waistcoat Is slngle-breasted, cut moderately
high in the neck, and has the bottom ends
almost straight. The trousers are snugger
all the way down. and cut with a good deal
of hollow over the fnstep. There is sug-
gested a modification OF this coat and
wafstcoat. in which the braiding is to be
black instead OF matching the cashmere of
the garments. but I doubt IL this will really
come to anything.

with slight flavor of sarcasm.

A young woman was framed In the

caught sight of her. She was "A pretty

Jasper, pencil In hand, bowed again.
The young woman advanced Into the
apartment.
You are much younger than l sup

Jasper's eyes opened wider.
Il am not quite sure that l ought to
take that as compliment" he said.
He even smiled. Then the pressing
character of his work reminded him.
His features stiffened. He raised his
pencil again, and looked at the girl Sc
verely.
Its the very first time l was ever In
an editors sanctum," she said, as her
glance took In the dinpy walls and the

at the chair beside his desk.
"Thank you,'' she said and sat down.

SHAKE HANDS WITH FATE.

'Tis sad old world, and a bad old world,
1t is scarce worth while at all;
Its sorrows cling and its friendships
sting,
And even its joys will pail
But dear Is life for all its strife,
And love is better than hate
You'll ind grace in the surliest face
II you just shake hands with fate.
With light In your glance and right in
your glance
And your lips in a curve to the sky;
A spring in your walk and ring in your
talk,
Sure, hope will not pass you by.
The path that you will winds over hill,
But 1t leads to an open gate;
So trill You song to lure love along.
And just shake hands with fate.
'Tis in yourself Is the demon elf,
'Tis in yourself is God;
And you'll never stray from yourself
away
Gods light or the devils prod,
Whatever your mind you'll meet in kind,
And what Is yourself create;
The world will view what is really you
Therefore, shake hands with fate.

Jasper couldn't help flushing again.
Am / reckoned among the leading
sights OF the town." he asked.
NO." the girl gravely replied. you
come between the geyser fountain and
the zoo."
Jasper laughed.
And do you come up here to tell me
that?" he asked.
THAT for one thing" said the girl.
Il don't suppose my presence here both
ers you IN the least, does itf"
Madam" said Jasper, Il am a reck-
less user of the truth. Your presence
prevents me from attending to my du-
ties"
Perhaps this is your busy day." said
the girl, innocently.
"All my days are busy days"
"Then, Of course, it Is just as con-
venient for me to call to-day as any
other day." said the girl.
Jasper looked at her with a comical
expression. He was little near
sighted, and, as was his custom with
callers, he had scarcely given her an
appreciative look when she entered.
Now, at shorter range, he saw that she
was much prettier than he at first sup
posed. She certainly was very charm
ing girl. A troubled look came into JAS
per's eyes.
Il beg your pardon he said, "but
may l remind you that you haven't
stated your business with meT
The girl looked into his eyes with a
clear, frank gaze. Then she slightly
smiled and slowly removed an elastic
band that held the small package she
bore In one neatly gioyed hand. Jasper
took quick advantage of her averted
gaze to pull down his cuffs and make
a quick pass at his twisted tie.
Il have written something" she said,
"and want to submit it to you"
Jasper felt himself weakening. Ordi-
narily he would have taken the manu-
script, and, hastily scribbling the writ
er's address on 1t, would have tossed it
aside with the remark that he would
communicate with the writer by mail
concerning it-and then he would have
resumed his work. Now he hesitated.
His pencil dropped from his fingers. He
Strengthened up little.

write an artlcle?'
She seemed to challenge his scrutiny.
Jasper couldn't resist the temptation.
He leaned little farther back.
ut isn't always possible to judge by
the appearance" he said
But l fancied article writers were
always old, and-and fussy, and-and
cranky" said the girl.
There are exceptions" said Jasper.
There must be exceptions"
II suppose you know" said the girl.
"But it isn't an article"
"You arouse my worst fears" said
Jasper, as the girl spread out the manu-.
script.
II think understand what you
mean," she said.
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1902-10-03

I'm glad you do"
And I'm afraid your worst fears are
confirmed" she said.
Jasper sighed.
''Then 1t Is verses?" he said.
II supposed 1t was poetry" said the
girl
''They always do" said Jasper.
The girl looked up at him with
pretty grlmace.
''You are not a bit encouraging" she
said.
ITS the better way" said Jasper.
"And yet you write verses yourself"
said the girl. And get them printed,
too"
perhaps it is because 1 haven't a
friend honest enough to dssuade me"
said Jasper. 81 have had no time for
that sort of nonsense lately, however"
.'That's a pity" said the girl.
Don't think to soften me in that
way" said Jasper.
II like those lines beginning. She
came upon ME unawares said the
girl. II know them by heart. She
came upon me unawares, turned and
she was there" "

1T is your lines that are under consid-

The girl gave him sidelong glance

Jasper caught the glance and slightly
flushed. His look grew troubled again.

The girl laughed and passed the man

''Why are you so certain" Jasper
asked.
Because | haven't written on both
sides of the paper" said the girl.
Jasper bent over the manuscript to
hide his smile. Then his look changed.
The smile faded He read the lines with
great care. Presently he looked up
The girl had been regarding him in
tently. She met his eyes with an In
quiring glance.
You want me to be frank? p he said
"Of course"
The lines are quite too sentimental.

the girl.

execution is good. If the fripperies and
affectations were dropped 1t would be
very passable. If you would heed my
advlce--they never dol might be

He folded the manuscript and hand

THANK you," said the girl.
Il am sorry if my Judgment seems
harsh," said Jasper.
