on hotel piazzas. and sometimes, when
they are very interesting, one doesn't
always like to have stranger come
in and join them. Well. yesterday
about five of us were talking cozily
when Mrs. Hunterton came striding
down the piazza in that uncompromis-
ing way of hers and proceeded to set
tie herself down in our midst. Well.
of course she had a right to, for we all
knew her. and yet for some reason we
mentally resented it almost as If she
were an interloper. Then five minutes
afterward that gentle little Mrs. Smith
came along and. stopping, said in her
timid, graceful way: Your group looks
so interesting! May join it and have
a good time too?' That was all, and
yet we made room for her in body"
The woman nodded her approval.
"Tt is born in some," she went on; ''in
others it is acquired. You will notice
it in very little children-small beings,
who radiate smiles and sunshine and
whom every one loves-while there are
others-mere tots, too-who stand aside
pensiye and distrustful and as a con-
sequence are unloved. And yet their
whole unhappy futures might be
changed If their mothers realized that
all they lacked was graciousness. 1t
is the one quality that is the substi-
tute for eternal youth, that makes the
gray haired woman who possesses it
the center of little circle Of which
she is the queen. while her younger
and more attractive rivals wonder why
they are left to themselves"
And the girl grew very thoughtful.

The India Hindoos and Mussulmans
alike wear both sandals and shoes
(slippers) and the latter boots also.
The sandal Ghe word is Persian) was
evidently the original covering for the
feet over all southern and eastern
Asia, while the shoe was probably In
troduced into India by the Persians,
Afghans and Mo(n)gols, together with
the 'tip tilted" (Hittite and Etruscan)
boot.
Both are usually made in India OF
leather, but never Of pigskin, and,
while the shoes are always colored red
or yellow, the boots are generally
brightly particolored, both among the
upper classes being also richly en-
broidered In gold and silver and yarie-
gated silk thread and with bangles,

ner of the ancient Persian boots rep.
resented on Greek vases.
But, of however rare and costly elab-
grafton, the invariable rule Is to re-
move them after entering private
house just when stepping on to the
mat or carpet on which the visitor
takes his seat. They must be cast off
the right boot or shoe first, before the
worshiper enters a temple or mosque
and it is still regarded as an absolute
proclamation to attempt to enter either

The Healthy savage.

1t is a question whether any purely
savage peoples were subject to epidem-
ic diseases. before they came in con-
tact with civilized nations. The prob
ability is that they were not so, as the
universal practice of all such peoples
was to destroy weakly and diseased
infants and also to kill off aged peo-
pie and those who had contracted any
disease. This would have the effect
of producing an absolutely healthy
adult population, among which cpl
demic disease, unless introduced from
outside, would never be able to gain a
footing.
OF civilized peoples the Scandina-
vians have during the period covered
by history been most free from epi-
denies, although an apparent excep-
tion is to be found in the comparative
prevalence of leprosy.s, But this can
hardly be described as epidemic, as it
is almost entirely due to the eating Of
stale and imperfectly cured fish during
the long winter. This has been as
signed as one of the causes of this dis
ease, but 1t has not been absolutely
demonstrated, and even If it had been
it would be rather a disease Of acci-
dent than an epidemic.

Owner and dog retired in good order,
but Miss Ainsley never moved. Her
face wore panied expression. Final
ly she opened her hand very slowly,
and, resting on the palm, the assembled
| company saw a dull half dollar and a
shining new quarter. The silence which
| followed was eloquent of various senti-
ments. Seward was the first to re-
cover. A sardonic smile crept across
his pale, slender countenance.

The athletic figure Of Dangler shook
with i'll suppressed fury. He said
something between his teeth which
reads like this:
"l-l =! Sizzl''
| She of the settlement work actually
smiled on him as though he had voiced
her sentiments.
"Who gets this reward?" inquired
Miss Ainsley in cuttingly clear voice.
Kathleen glanced from the flushed face
of Dangler to the severe countenance
of her mother. The landlady looked
as though she had just burned batch
of lemon pies. The situation was
saved by the sudden appearance Of
/ Buttons with Dangler's belated laun-
dry package.
| 'Here, Buttons" said Miss Ainsley
with a cordial smile, "you can have the
widest sort of time on this" She
slipped the coins in Buttons unresist-
ing hand "And no one else seems to
care particularly about it."
If the incident had been closed at
this instant, it would have been bet
ter, but three evenings later the entire
household was on the quf vive over a
mysterious package which had arrived
by special messenger during the after
noon. 1t was addressed in a large,

Dangler was distressingly late, and
many of the boarders were toying with
their coffee when he arrived. The de-

Seward had perpetrated this unfeeline
| joke. But the sphinxlike countenance
above the immaculate cream coloreo
four-in-hand was neither paler mol
more flushed than usual.
Sympathy unuttered, but neverthe
less strong, was felt for the unfortu
nate Dangler.
But, after all, perhaps it was mis-
placed. Women, especially in affairs
of the heart, view events from pc
culiar and unexpected standpoint. The
! landlady announced Kathleen's engage
ment to Dangler two Sundays later a
dinner. The champagne which fol
lowed the announcement was general
ly supposed to be the outward and Wis
ible sign of the exuberant happiness ol

The girl at her side followed her

smiling to the other occupants as she
did so. .And is that the secret of her

"She is more than that" returned
the other; ''she has the divine gift of
graciousness."
Then. as the girl was silent, she
went on: 81 wonder if you, or, for
that matter, half of the women now

ciousness. 1t would appear not, for the
