Nh ISIS NEEL1E'S golden youth had
Nk long ago merged into the silver
path until she had long passed life's
of middle age. In fact, it had never
held the bloom and sunshine of most
maidens, SO she had trod an unloved
meridian.
When the Widow Hoban married for
the third time, Miss Neelfe reflected
at length upon the unjust distribution
Of marital felicities and soliloquized
audibly concerning the forwardness of
some women. ''Not that I'd care about
changin' my way of livin' now" she
assured Phineas, the black cat, who re-
ceived all her communications with
feline reserve,-"but I really would
like to know for once in my life how it
would seem to have some man say
soothin' things to me with intentions"
She was in this receptive frame of
mind one winter evening as she sat
toasting her feet preparatory to re-
firing. The clock was wound, the doors
were locked and the soapstone was
warming itself at the fender. Miss
Neelie sat swinging to and fro in her

SANDALS COMING IN.
They Are BEING Worn by Women Who
Desire to Keep Up with
the Times.

For several years past craze for
the wearing of sandals has been grow
ing among the fashionable women of the
east, says a household exchange. When
Lady Constance Mackenzie was last in
this country she not only wore trousers
as she rode horseback, but in cold
weather and warm she wore sandals for
walking in the country. They were the
real Greek article, without heels. The
Independent Scotchwoman wore stout
brown or gray hand-knit stockings with
them.
At first her American friends merely
jeered at the sandals as an affectation;
but Lady Constance, though decidedly
original, is not q sensationalist. When
she explained to few Of her high-heeled
women friends the advantages of san
dal-wearing as a cure for nerves, she
was listened to with respectful interest.
There is nothing 80 soothing ana
strengthening, she declared, as giving
your feet plenty Of air and walking fat
footed.
This summer. very quietly In the
country home, more than one nervous
wreck is trying the sandal cure and re-
joicing. 81 far most of the sandals come
from England, where they are worn by
men and children freely in public and
by women in the privacy of their own
lawns. All the children and some Of the
men wear the sandals without hose, but
the women cling modestly to their
stockings. They say that they sleep
better and are far less neuralgia, less
prone to moods and more fit in digestion
since giving their feet chance to
breathe and move in the natural way.

The Thoughtful Theorist was talking.
and he spoke t., the following effect,
writes Elliott Flower. in Brooklyn

Il saw an account Of meeting of
womans rights convention few days
ago, and whenever the woman presiding
was addressed, she was called Mrs.
President Now, when anyone addresses
Roosevelt, he is called, l believe, Mr..
President 1t was just SO when Hayes
was president, and in speaking of his
wife she was generally called Mrs.
President Hayes Now, If woman's
suffrage was allowed, and Mrs. Brown
was the chief executive of this nation,
she would be Mrs. President Brown
Then, of course, reversing the rule now
in force, her husband would be Mr..
President Brown while, If he were chief
executive, he would still be Mr.. Presi-
dent and she Mrs. President Under
these circumstances, just picture the
horrors that woman's suffrage would
bring about. tried to do it.
II leaned back in my chair, closed my
eyes, and dreamed as follows:
1T was night, and I, attired in my
dress suit, entered an elegant mansion.
The hostess took me by the arm and hur-
ried me through the spacious apart
ments to couple at the farther end ofthe
house. l was introduced to them, and
learned that they were Mr.. and Mrs.
President Brown. l desired to make
myself agreeable, of course.

house must be indeed troublesome, Mrs.
Brown suggested. ,...~-, :.

"'Ah, good evening, general re-

my courage, and said:

AN ANTARCTIC NIGHT.
During Many Days Of Dense
Darkness.

The story Of how II officers and sc
sailors amused themselves during 121
days of continuous night while ice
bound inside the antarctic circle is one
of the interesting things related by
Lieut.. c. I. Shackleton, r. NJ, of the ex-
ploring ship Discovery, who recently
passed through New York on his way
home from the south polar regions, says
a report from that city.
A theater improvised in the saloon,
a music playing machine, with 200 rolls
of music, banjos, guitars and violins. a
well-stocked library. cards, chess, check
ers, billiard table, and few juvenile
games comprised the means Of amuse-
ment.
"Our men. that is. our sailors, were
the pick Of the entire navy" said Lieut..
Shackleton. They were not only loyal,
enthusiastic sailors, but men Of more
than ordinary Intelligence, and with a
heartfelt interest in the project before
US. During the enforced idleness caused
by the season of night, we produced for
our amusement minstrel shows, music
ales and dialogues. The sailors frequent
" planned surprises for Commander
Scott and the other officers.
There was one American among
them, Arthur Quartley. He had among
his possessions a number Of coon songs
and negro dialect Rotations. In addi-
ton to the fun he used to make he con-
tributel largely to the magazine which
we compiled semi-monthly. The illus
trations for this were made In water
colors. We produced but two copies of
each edition. One of these will be given
to the Royal academy, at London, and
the other will be presented to the Royal
Geographical society.
Our library consisted Of 5000 vol
umes Of miscellaneous literature. A
large number of these were autograph
copies. presented to our library by the
authors before the expedition sailed.
Rudyard kipling contributed complete
set Of his works. Our scientific library
consisted Of something over thousand
volumes. Much of our time was spent
in reading, and we also devoted part
OF each day to instructing our sailors. >,

In this age of worlds fairs it is in
teresting to note that July, 1903, marks
the semi-centennial anniversary OF the

ground and was a palace Of windows,
