turned back.

She caught her breath sharply and

Must it always be so, Kitty?
Couldn't you learn to care again."
"And you were almost gone!" she
sobbed.
A little note went into town on the
morning train, and Charlie and his
bride bent over it at the breakfast
table.

Rebuking u Host.

While in Canada lord and lady Lans-
downe pleased the Canadian people by
their friendly and unassuming man
ners, which were in marked contrast
to those of former governors general
and their wives. 1t is related that at
a garrison ball at Halifax the colonel
of the regiment that was giving the
dance came up to Lady Lansdowne
and said: Lady Lansdowne, won't
you give me a dance, please? I'm
tired of dancing with these silly little
colonial girls. They have no style. l
believe I'm engaged to one of them
for the next dance, but you might be
kind enough to rescue me-" Lady
Lansdowne replied, in tones loud
enough for everybody to hear, that the
colonel was unfit to associate with any
decent people, colonial or otherwise,
and concluded: eff this is the way you
treat your guests, 1 will relieve you of
the presence of one of them at once, "
Then she ordered her carriage and left
the ball.

GERMANIZING THE DANES.
DespOtic Measures That Have Been
Adopted in North
Schleswig.

"The following incident" says the
writer of an article in the Nineteenth
Century on the subject of the forcible
Germanization of North Sschleswig, "is
almost laughable if it were not so seri-
Gus, and well shows the paltry measures
adopted to Germanize the Danes. A
countryman had dog kennel painted
red, in which black poodle dog lived
comfortably. When the dog gave up
this earthly life there came a successor
in the shape of white dog. Now a
white poodle lived in the red kennel.
This was considered a demonstration,
as red and white are the colors of the
Dannebrog. The countryman was Off
cially ordered, as he could not very well
give the dog another color, to repaint
the kennel"
Many other instances of the arbitrary
action of the German government to-
ward the unfortunate Danes are de-
scribed in the Nineteenth Century.
Danish children at school are forbidden
to use the mother tongue, and those who
sympathize with the Danes of North
Schleswig are in danger of imprison-
ment or Punishment.
The public hosting of the Danish
flag, the 'Dannebrog," is forbidden. Its
beloved red-white national colors may
only be unfolded by the Dane in his own
dwelling, where every advantage is
taken of the permission. If one goes
into the house of Dane one is sure
to see the ''Dannebrog" en- miniature
on small Flagstaff, pictures of the four
kings of Denmark-gr eat-grandfather
grandfather, father and son-and other
souvenirs of Denmark.
The appearance of Danish actors has
been forbidden in Hadersleben. The
singing of Danish songs of stirring
nature is forbidden by an order of the
Prussian government. The despotic
policy of that government, as described
in the Nineteenth Century, seems to
indicate that it is so terrified by these
law-abiding and industrious people thas
it would, if it could, forbid them even
to live.

BEAUTY MEASURED IN EYES.
Proper Proportions of the Face, Neck,
Waist and Hands to Be
Just Right.

In perfect face every feature should
bear a certain fixed proportion to every
other feature. Take, for example, the
relation between the width of the eyes
and the width of the face, says the New
York Sun.
The width of the face should be equal
to five eyes. The distance between the
eyes should be exactly equal to one eye.
Another important relation is that
between the eyes and the mouth. The
width of the eyes should be equal to
two-thirds that of the mouth
The nose should be equal in length to
the height of the forehead, of a regular
shape and precisely defined outline The
forehead should be equal in height to the
length of the nose and of that part of the
face below it.
Foreheads are high or low, round or
square, fiat or convex. A smooth, round
ed, slightly convex forehead is the most
beautiful, but the higher, broader and
fuller it is, all other things being equal,
the greater the capacity and strength of
the mind.
The ancients admired a low forehead
in woman. A large, broad forehead
gives a woman a masculine and defiant
look
The ideal head rounds out above the
ears, globe-like; it's size should be an
eighth part of the height of the whole
figure. The height and width of wom-
ans head should be one inch less than a
mans.
The ear should be twice the width of
the eye, and the distance from the open
ing of the ear to the top of the crown
should be exactly the same width as the
head. Ears should be small, delicate and
compact, of a shell-like shape.
The length of the neck should be a
trifle more than one-third of the length
Of the head The diameter of the neck
should be little less than one-half of
that of the head 1t should be rounded
and full.
The waist should be twice the size of
the neck.
The length of the hand and wrist
should be equal to the length of the face.
If there is any discrepancy, either the
hand or the face is badly proportional.
The length of the index finger should
be exactly one-half the length Of the
hand. The foot should be the same
| length as the forearm.
The left side of a woman's face is
nearly always the prettier. 1t is almost
invariably fuller than the right side
which, by comparison, has slightly
sunken appearance. The right eye itself
appears to lose something of the ANNA
ton shown by the left, which is stronger
The right eye, too, is somewhat higher
than the left
The difference in the two sides of a
face is more noticeable in the old than
in the young.

not such an extravagant thing to add

A Business Epitaph.

Amusing epitaphs are not difficult
to find if one is seeking them. The
Cheshire Republican cites most sim
gular one, which may be found on a
monument in eastern Tennessee.
Sacred to the memory of John
Smith, for 20 years senior partner of
the firm of Smith & Jones, now ]. J.
Jones e Co."
The names are not really Smith
and Jones, but they will answer for
the purpose of the story."I met Jones
later" says the narrator, land he gave
me frank explanation of the inscfip-
ton.
Smith was bachelor without rel
atives,' he said, but he knew a tre-
mendous lot of country people, and if
any of them happened to see his grave,
they might think that the old house
had closed up and gone out of bust
ness. So 1 thought it no more than
right to let them know that the firm
was still alive"

IN THE ORCHARD.

Obi here. beneath the roof of green,
l throw me down and dream again
The golden dreams of what has been
And future harvests yet to gain!
The wheat waves in the field close by,
An apple ripened ere its time,
Drops from the tree. the suns great eye
Seeks through the leaves. and, as
rhyme,
The birds weave to and fro and sing
The very songs ! would declare.
And now and then the branches swing
Stirred gently by wandering air.
The binders. clicking in the wheat,
The whistle of a passing train,
The distant noises of the street,
Are 20 my song 10 wrefrain.
To-day! To-day l rest at ease
And pick the golden fruits that grow
In solitude on twigs of peace
The fruits that only dreamers know.

h$ many abominable cheap i'm
| MNT itations, the commences OF
& NK its use But the lace we are
49, to mention can by no means
- be purchased for farthing,
he worn by every one. We refer to the
beautiful lace scarf, wide and long, very
like the kind worn by our grand
mothers.
The wearing of scarf is an art, and
had better be omitted altogether unless
one learns how to dispose it gracefully,
how to carry it. The difficulty is SINH
lar to the wearing of shawl: this per-
son looks like an old woman the mo-
ment she places shawl or scarf on her
shoulders: that one looks graceful, cap
tivating. Then who is it, and who is it
| not that can wear shawl and scarf?
Each must find out for herself, but we
should say plump shoulders and full
chest requisite.
The scarf is of lace, of null, of en-
broidered crepe, of soft silk; and happy
she who has one of the really old-an
heirloom. 1t would be we'll to consult
grandmother and great-aunt, to hunt
in attic and long locked up hair-cloth
trunk, for though the stores are show
ing beautiful ones of modern make, the
old-fashioned ones bear the mark of
eentility. and the creamy "old' look so
very desirable.
If one is hesitating about what to get
for stock and belt this fall, word in
regard to the shaded ribbons may be of
help. Two yards of six-inch ribbon for
the neck and just enough for the belt to
make a narrow crushed band; for the
ctock pass the ribbon around twice and
lie in a very wide, butterf1y-ey bow at
tbe throat. Soft liberty satin is ex-
nensiye. and the very thin, soft taffeta,
which is much cheaper, answers the
nurpose quite as well.
Ribbons are very much used, and as
rihbon. like lace and jewelry, is prop
erty. the fashion is good, economical
one. Velvet ribbon appears as trim
ming in various ways, and usually is
yery becoming and pretty.
Not much as yet can be said about
hats: the most noticeable thing is that
they reproduce in winter stuffs the
prevailing styles of the summer; also,

at 1t and hastily put it back; and there was

near her.
The temptation was too great to be re-
sisted, and when he was out of the room she
slyly distracted the letter from his pocket,
as he had meant that she should do.
Her curiosity was satisfied. 1t was the bill
for her latest gown, with comments on ex-
travagance written across it. She wanted
to answer them, but she could not without
betraying what she had done She was angry,
but she dared not show it. When he re-
turned she had to sit there and smile as
pleasantly as she had before he left the room.

A Change of Heart.

The operator in a telegraph Office
has many chances for the observation
of varying phases of human nature il
he chooses to make the best of them.
A young woman stepped to the desk
asked in a trembling voice for tele-
graph blanks. She wrote upon one
tore it in halves, wrote a second, which
she treated in the same way, and at
last third. This last she handed to
the operator with a feverish request
that he would hurry it"
This he did, and after she had gone
he read the other two for his own
amusement.
The first was, "'All is over. l never
wish to see you again"
The second read, do not write or
try to see me at present"
The third was, "Come at once. Can
you take next train? Please answer. "

garment. 1t was hard enough to get
the tight fit for the tailor made of six
years back, but that was easy compared
with the problem to-day, when large
hips and plump curves are not at all
the thing. But we need none of us
despair; after seeing few good exam
pies, we may learn something of the
trick ourselves.
Besides the close three-quarters
coat, one sees knee-lengths and hip
lengths in loose styles. Some of the
former are on the kimona style; some
are what we have grown accus-
toned to call the automobile; others
are built on simple straight lines, closer
fitting than those lately in vogue. For
the wrap for rather common wear, blue
is the color of the hour, dark or bluet.
And if touch of white is added, one
will be following the latest fancy.
Evening cloaks, though elaborate,
can be safely constructed at home,
there not being great deal of fit re-
quired. Though the cloaks look sump-
tuous, they need not cost very much;
a bargain of lining-silk can be picked
I up here, bit of lace there, and for the
outside lightweight cloth with heavy
inter-lining will answer very well. 1t
is much more suitable to try to econo-
mize on dressmaker and material for
one of these than when getting the
street gown, which appears in the broad
light of day, and must stand much wear
and tear
In the shorter coats we observe white
is a prime favcrite, and as most of these
white wraps can be easily cleaned, it is

favored combinations. Red velvet for
a narrow crushed belt and as finish for
a stock is especially soft and pretty;
also shaded ribbon, shading from old
rose to geranium red, might well be
chosen.
Pipings will be used very much the
coming season. Pipings of gay silk in
different colors are used on the same
gown; yellow, black and white have
been observed on gown of dark blue,
but personally we prefer pipings of the
single color. Buttons are employed to
emphasize the color of the trimming,
and embroidered buttons are the ca
price of the moment, as well as buttons
embroidered in beads. A dark, plain
frock may be embellished and rendered
more modish by addition of some of
these accessories, but the tendency for
over-trimming should be restrained.
Heavy mercerized cotton waists,
which resemble raw silk, are shown in
plaids as well as in dark blues or reds.
They cost something, but are very dur
able and wash well. Pongees in natural
colors, but flecked with gay silk, will
make nice blouses for wear indoors, and
should not be lined.
The epaulette is decided feature Of
the fall waist, and is very long. 1t may
be made of galloon, with a band of the
same down the front of the waist and
for the cuffs.
We picture one of the prettiest fancy
waists lately seen. 1t is fashioned of
black chiffon, black velvet ribbon and
white lace The waist should be lined
with thin silk.
