The man whose long suffering sister
has always selected all his gifts for
friends at Christmas, on birthdays and
for weddings has recently passed
through an experience which makes
him feel that he must mend his ways.
Not long ago he went TO pay a we'd
ding call and expressed much admira-
ton for the silver and china on the 5
o'clock tea table at which his pretty
hostess was pouring tea.
(which cup do you like best?" she
asked him archly. Tell me. and you
shall have your tea in It,"
He looked helplessly at her and then
at the cups. ''Oh, l don't know. /
think that is the prettiest, perhaps"
he said, indicating an eggshell cup.
..Your taste hasn't changed. then.
That Is the one you gave me when
my engagement was announced" she
said gayly. And he endeavored to ap-
pear comfortable. although he knew
his face was growing red.
Later on, as he rose to go, his hostess
said:
what do you think of that picture
over the mantel? I've seen you look
ing at 1t a number of times"
Il wasn't looking Mt that" said this
luckless guest. Its very fine. but /
was looking ut the smaller one on the
left. It's curious thing. isn't it? Yet
| there's sort of charm about it."

We get accustomed TO the pleasant
little ways OF novelists and are some
times inclined TO overlook minor sole
cisms when we remember that they are
all part of a praiseworthy effort to
please. But just now we feel called on
to protest against prevalent practice
that tends to get on the reviewers
nerves. The danger OF using such
phrases as "Such things might happen
I'm a novel, but not in real life." or "As
they say in novels" should, one would
think, be sufficiently apparent TO writ
ers of fiction. IF this were a novel,"
remarks an ingenious writer, so and
so might have occurred, but in a narra-
tive of plain fact" etc. This sort Of
thing has. of course. the sole result Of
reminding the reader that he is reading
a novel, and II he has been beguiled by
the author into losing himself for mo-
ment the effect Is at once dispelled-
Suppose Hamlet had taken the oppor-
tunity to remark to his mother in the
closet scene, After all, this is only a

wrote under the name of Shakespeare
practiced the art that hides art (some
say the artist also), and he was far too
wary to remind his audiences that he
was imposing on their credulity.-Lon-

Yet no fact seems established more
clearly than this. Hahn in his WAN

our domestic favorite-with its win

or into the dense yellow cloak that
had shut down upon him silent and
awesome. He pulled up the anchor
and started TO row home.
The dull. monotonous clang OF light

where. He knew not exactly where.

upon the oars. letting the boat drift,
and listened intently for the Mysteries

man screamed shrilly, feebly, Aboard

Then a great. dense shape loomed up
out of the sea like ruthless grasping
hand TO crush him. Immense, terrible.
Il lowered a moment over the boat.
There was a crunch of splintering
wood, a weak excited bark of fright
ened dog. a despairing wall from a
man. and a white wave of foam
dripped back from the beak OF the mon
ster. 1t passed on with a rushing roar,
satisfied A burst OF changing and
clanking came from the silence and
died away again. 4 belch of reddish
fire lighted for an instant the yellow
pail and then left it as before. The
thing dissolved like ghost in the mist
The waves churned for n moment a rag
Of canvas. Then everything disap
peared. and the silence settled down as
| the quiet of eternity.
The whitecapped waves raced and
tossed for n time, worrying some little
bits of splintered wood. Then they
began again the old. old chant, signing
| mournfully IN tune with the twilight
breeze, slowly lifting the fog. on il
