London Chamber of Horrors That
Proved Uncomfortable.

There is story of a ghastly quar-
ter of an hour once passed by a
young Partisan who wandered into
the Chamber of Horrors" at wax
works show in London. says the ST.
Louis Post-Dispatch. Finding him
self alone, he was siezsd with an in
spiration. What glorious thing to
put his neck under the guillotine
where had rested the neck of Marie
Antcinette! He lay down, touched
spring and closed the collar. But
how was he to release himself? If
he touched the wrong spring the fatal
axe might descend. Unable to speak
word of English, he yelled Justify
for help in French, and before long
a crowd of visitors led by an attend.
ant came on the scene. TIE guide
was a bit of a linguist and saw an
opportunity with himself as master
of the situation. He at once began a
practical lecture on the guillotine, in
terrupting his remarks with little
asides in French to the indignant vic
tim, asking him to scream louder or
writhe more agonizingly. "How we'll
he acts!" exclaimed the gratifed on
lockers. Finally the Partisan was re-
leased, and, answering the applause
with maledictions, fled, leaving his
hat behind.

Of that firm but light nature which
marks the apex of the bakers art.
In the search for suitable timber,
Sidney Hammond had chopped down
tree containing store of honey,
and made the further discovery that
tropical bees are stingless. Fresh
bread and honey were a notable addi-
ton to the menu Of Social Island,
and Mr.. Pence was awarded no end
OF praise. So thoroughly was he
relnstated in the good opinion of the
colony that it was agreed that all
should make trip to the ruined city,
and help bring into camp the gold
idols which had been discovered by
Vincent and Mr.. Pence. In fact, they
made two trips, and reduced the sup
ply to such an extent that the own
ers of the gold were able to recover
the remaining idols at their leisure.
At Mr.. Pence's request these images
were placed in his room, and he
watched them with vigilance as
if this tropical wilderness were in
tested with professional burglars.
In accordance with Sidney Ham
mond's suggestion, watch was
maintained on top of the big rock
overlooking the ocean, where the
flagstaff had been erected. Mr.. Car
mody was assigned to this duty on
Saturday. He rowed across the lake
in the early morning, taking with
him a rifle, a book. and luncheon.
After about two hours had elapsed
a sail showed on the southeastern
sea-rim! 1t was low down in the wa
tiers, but the air was wonderfully
clear, and he could see that it was
large three-masted vessel. More than
that, it was coming in his direction.
Mr.. Carmody watched the craft in
tently and ate his luncheon. The
ship was now percepxbly nearer.
With the glass he saw that it was a
brigantine; square rugged on the
fore mast and schooner rugged on
the main and mizzen masts. Then
the craft took long tack out to
sea and nearly disappeared, but it
turned again and rapidly headed in
northwesterly direction. Mile by
mile it approached, until with the
glass he saw the sailors on her decks.

THE BROKEN GUITAR.

In the dust of lone corner lying,
Where letters are piled by the wall;
z Where no sound save Of echoes replying
Comes ever from garnet or hall;
And where light through no easement
can fall
Not even the CLEAN of star,
Remote and UNDECIDED by all,
Is ribbonless, broken guitar.
AT dusk when the sunset is dying.
The crickets, wee sentinels, call,
Like sentries their challenges crying,
Shrill piping from crevices small:
And the wind from the poplar trees tall
Creaks doors that are standing ajar,
While fading in twilight's dim pail
Is ribbonless, broken guitar.
Where now is the bold lover signing
Who danced long ago at the ball,
With his mistress, and brooked no deny
ing.
kiss. as he folded her shawl?
His love-letter here-'tis scrawl-
What shadows we vain mortals are,
Since all that exists to recall
Is a ribbonless, broken guitar
Nay. time held them both in his thrall
Through days that have faded afar;
And yet there is left after all
But a ribbonless, broken guitar.

ss@@ There has been a practical
reason for the wearing of
white, odd as the word practical" may
sound in connection with such an un-
seviceable color. 1t means that in the
cold weather from which we all suf-
fered in the late spring and early sum-
mer, white fabrics gave suggestion
of sunny days to come, and yet were as
warm as cloths of darker hue. Thus
hopsacks. serges, cloths, and hun
dred and one new canvas materials and
voiles in cream and white have been
much in vogue during the past two
months
OF the white gowns none are more
attractive than the French tailor-built
affairs. Ever SO smart is white
serge, made with a series of seven
flounces, graduated from about four
inches below the waist, and very
frou-frouy at the feet. Each Of these
f1ounces has a border of large black
spots of various sizes. These spots
also form trimming on the smart
coat bodice, which is finished with a
yoke Of most exquisite lace, with a
touch of rose-pink underneath, and
will be worn with wide band and
simple black hat, with no decoration
beyond a wreath of glorious velvet
vieux-rose pansies. With this is to be
carried a white silk en-tout-cas with
black spots thereon. This black and
white costume is the very essence of
smartness. To wear over it is loose
taffeta coat, with big pelerine cape
Of old guipure, lined with zibeline.
Yet another French frock, which Is
extraordinarily simple, is in a peri
Wrinkle blue cloth edged with the
sweetest little entre-deux of cream
lace, outlined with black and white
chenille braid. This is made in the
form Of a tunic, fastening with early
victorian buttons, finishing with a
black panne belt. with straps of en-
broidery decorating the rather full,
fairly short skirt. When l say short, l
mean it just touches the ground all
round.
Now, in direct contrast to this, and
in view Of a hot summers day, there
are some glorious hand-painted mus
Inns on silky ground. Pompadour
designs are, of course, most popular,
and their beauty is wonderfully en-
HANGED by the addition of little coat,
either in very fine, old-fashioned en-
broidered lawn, or some real lace.
The shirts of these are accordion
plated. finely gagged or plisse, and
most Of them are made with a separate
flounce, which joins the skirt below
the knees in order to give the neces-
sary amount of frou-frou.
Muslin and lace gowns really deserve
pages to themselves. A pale green
muslin has punches of orange pome-
granates painted thereon, and seems to
consist of an intricate mass of gaug-
ings, tuckings and insertions. A very
