One evening in the beginning of June

on the Boulevard Malesherbes, by an
intimate friend of the great noveIls..
As one thinks of lion, with his shag-
gy name full of the jungle burs of ad-

Monte Christie as he appeared on that
memorable evening. Standing about

poets, attracted by q world of romance

the host He sat like a silent oracle,
surrounded by crowd of female id
mirers. the whole company set off by
panels representing life sized figures
from Goethe's great drama-Faust,
Mephistopfeles, Marguerite. There were
no other pictures in the room. The in
fluence of these figures, the attitude of
Dumas and his worshipers, concentrate
ed the mind on the quintessential ele-
ment of romance. Half Indifferent he

lion long tanned and without teeth.
There was nothing to distract the mind
from the harmony of idea and person
ality-the company of women might
have been part of the frescoes and
Dumas the creator of Faust" instead
of Monte Christie" There was an en-
chanted element about the people and

DEER LACK STAMINA.
The Wild and Fleet Footed Animals
Are Soon Tagged Out.

"It seems to be the opinion of q
great many people that deer and ante
lOpe are at the top notch among ami
mails as far as speed is concerned" said
Dakota ranchman. II have often
heard the expressions as swift as an
antelope and he can run like a deer
but the fact is any good horse can run
over Mr.. Deer or Mr.. Antelope within
q mile on level or nearly level ground.
81 will guarantee to take any first
class COW pony and run down any deer
that ever lived inside of two miles. pro-
vided the ground be level and the deer
has no more than twenty-five or thirty
yards start. 1 often have seen cow
boys run down and rope q deer within
half Il mile. This, OF course, can only
be done when you are riding up the
wind and surprise q bunch of deer or
antelope feeding or lying down in a
depression where they do not see OK
scent you till you are almost on them.
Over Il rough or billy country your
horse wouldn't be in it with q deer.
The action of deer under full speed
reminds me of nothing so much as
seashell sent ricochetting over the sur
face of smooth water. They don't gal
lop; they simply bound, and that is
where they lose speed over level
ground. But 1 have seen deer bound
straight up the side of a mountain and
so fully as fast'as if on the level, and
no living animal can catch them at the
uphill game.
Deer have tremendous vitality. I
have never seen one drop instantly
when shot. They win make q jump or
two even when shot through the heart.
Your true deer hunter will never
shoot deer running from him, as the
bullet will invariably spoil the hams
and hind quarters. Most of the west
ern deer hunters can turn a deer when
he is running full speed from him with
a shrill whistle. The deer almost al
ways will turn to see what that sound
means, only for a fraction of a second,
perhaps, but that is the hunters oppor-
tunity, and Mr. Deer generally gets it
in the neck about that time."-New
York Press.

Pnintiuc SILK.

\ new weave of silk is called poin-
tile because it has a raised dot in
white or color upon n black ground,
and the same design is repeated al
ways with a contrast in other webs of
the silk. \ black dot on white is a
snowy specimen of the pointille. The
dot is only slightly raised, not so much
as to give it the effect of being en-
bossed, but just a slight rise in the
weaving. enough to show Off the dot of
brilliant china white or Of whatever
color be chosen. This makes q suitable
church costume when properly made.

Enect OF ausic on Anima1..

At the zoo the zebra. wild ass, deer
and ostrich went into paroxysms of
rage at the sound of the piccolo. al
though they had manifested various
signs of pleasure over the violin and
flute. The tiger was asleep and re-
fused to be awakened by the fiddler
and futist. But when the man with
the piccolo began to play the animal
sprang furiously to its feet and rushed
angrily up and down the cage, flashing
its tail. So extreme was the beasts
anguish that the piccolo man speedily
gave. place to the futist. The differ
ence in effect was at once apparent
The tiger stopped, listened. lay down
and purred like a kitten in its enjoy
ment of the grateful sounds, and pres
emily fell asleep in luxurious repose.-

content with recitations on the portico
she organized a company of her own
composed of her companions. The per-
formances were given in cellar of the
house occupied by q neighbor named
| Sulzer.
As she grew older it was decided by
her mother and DIR. Griffin that she
should be allowed to follow her incli-
nations for a stage career. Dr.. Griffin
prevailed on John Mccullough, who
was playing an engagement in Louis

Mccullough hated stagestruck people

! house, he afterward owned, only to rid
| himself of DR.. Griffin's opportunities.

''Mr. Mccullough introduced us to
Barney Macauley, manager of the Ma
cauley theater Barney said he,
when you can, put this girl on the
stage. If 1 am a judge of such mat
tiers she will make fortune for you
On Nov. 81. 1915, at Macauley's thea
ter Louisville, Miss Anderson made
her first professional appearance on
the stage. The play was Romeo and
Juliet" and her success was instar,
taneous. Two years later she made her
debut in New York at the Fifth Ave-
nue. theater and scored q brilliant tri
umph. Perhaps the most notable
achievement in her career was her re-
vival of 1.-The Winters Tale in Lon
don and afterward in this country.
1t was early in 1899 that the Ameri-
can public saw Mary Anderson for the
last time on the stage. The effects of
overwork had shown themselves dur
ing the latter part of the preceding
year, but she persisted in filing the en-
gagements made for her. In March,
1889. though i'll, she played an engage
ment at Washington, but that was her
last public appearance.
The following April she sailed from
New York and for an entire year
sought seclusion in England. Then on
June II, 1890, she was married to Mr.
Antonio de Navarro, a friend of over
ten years standing.
The young people travelled over Eu-
rope for awhile and then returned to
England and settled down at Tun-
bridge Wells, later removing to Broad
way, Worcestershire. Several chill
dren have been born to them, but only
one. Tony, bright boy Of about seven
years, Is living.

Bridal Fashions.

The newest bridal shoes are of gros
grain silk exquisitely embroidered at
the vamp. They have light Louis
Qufnze heels and lace with six eyelets
under fluffy rosettes.
Gloves are preferably of undressed
kid, and to accommodate the placing Of
the ring the mousquetaire wrist por
ton is slit an inch or two higher, so
that the hand may be slipped through
without removing the glove entirely.
The altar handkerchief, which must
show border OF fine lace, is carried
either in belt at the front of the bodice
or in the prayer book.

strapping and stitching.

Stitching as a decorative effect is
coming more to the fore than ever. it
would seem. In fact. it is being exalt-
ed into the character of embroidery.
Some odd examples of this are seen in
imported models which display scroll
and crescent shaped motifs wrought in
shaded silks by clever machine opera
tors.
Strappings in the crescent form have
also been noted. and when cleverly ap-
piled they form a very attractive trim
ming.
