A CROWN OF GLORY.

1t has been truly said that the crown
ing glory of our race is a luxurianr
growth of hair.
1t used to be thought that this was
one of the blessings which the god :,
bestow capriciously. andd it is only
recently that scientists have discover
ed that its beauty is dependent upon
the absence of minute germ which
fourishes in the hair follicles. where it
destroys the lif of the hair.
TO restore this life and kill the
germs which cause the mischief is the
mission of Newbro's HerDicide

The young man turned again to his
net.
"They say" he answered, in the same
low, unwilling the, that he fishes for
the souls of men,"
Bontemps started for a second. Then
he flung back his rough black head
with a great laugh.
1.-THE souls of men! All, my faith,

"As good as any in the port of

touch of heat.

speech, and lifted finger from his net
to point through the door.

Bontemps was silent. The shadowy
sail had drifted very near. Again still

only by the old mans heavy breath

the tale-but the Fisher sailed behind
them out of st. Maurin bay. That 1

Bontemps did not answer. A kind Of
breathlessness had fallen upon the
rest. Jean Modesto shifted the net
across his knee and spoke once more.
"You ask what the Fisher SEEKS he
said. "Well-in the port of Nice he
may have other business for what 1
know. But here, when he sails in the
bay, he seeks mans soul"
Again there was silence Through
the doorway they could see the black
shadow of the sail almost touching the
quay. The strange fishing boat was
very near. The tall mast seemed to

wings of an immense bat stretched be-

In the cafe no one moved or
breathed. Jean Modeste's hands lay
idle on his net. Bontemps sat motion
less, with his fingers stretched out to
take up his unfinished glass of wine.
For some reason he did not take it.
His eyes, too, were fixed upon the
shadowy sail hanging about the quay.

MAINLY ABOUT PEOPLE

The first regular meeting of the
Thursday club was held yesterday aft
ernoon in the parlor of the Commercial
club, which was crowded with mem
bers and their friends. The paper of
the afternoon was an illustrated lee
ture on the great American decorators
by Miss Julie Gauthier. Thrown upon
a white screen were pictures of the.
wonderful mural pictures which deco
rate the walls Of the congressional
library at Washington, the Boston pub.
lie library, the appellate court in New
York, and views Of some special work
OF Abbey's and Sargent's. Miss Gau-
thier is no tyro in art, having studied
and taught 1t for years, and her paper
showed much mature thought and was
full of inspiration to her hearers. Dur
Ing the past summer Miss Gauthier
visited the East and studied the pic
lures of which she talked so intelli-
gently yesterday. She gave brief
sketches of Sargent, Blashfield. Abbey.
Reed and other famous Americans who
have achieved fame in the last few
years and reflected such credit on their
country. The wonderfully beautiful Sc
ries of pictures of the Holy Grail from
the Boston library were shown, and
Miss Gauthier gave a poetic story of
their symbolic meaning. After the lee
ture the Thursday club invited its
guests to remain for cup of tea. The
next meeting will be held at the Aber-
deem on the 9Th of November.

The Mysterious Fisher Of St. Maurin

A splash of yellow light fell from
the doorway of the cafe of ST. Maurin
into the still blue darkness of the lit
tie quay, where couple Of Pickering
lamps only served TO make the gloom
more profound; The moon had not
risen, and the pale. radiance. of the
stars showed the long. slow swell Of
an oily sea. Against the wall of the
quay lay a tiny sailing yacht. Farther
out. midway between the horns of the
harbor, fishing boat with wide
spread sails that seemed hardly to
catch the faint evening air. drifted
like a shadow through the night.
In the cafe half dozen men, ia
theirs of the little port. lounged idly
over their glasses. Old Antoine, the
innkeeper. drowsed as usual in his cor
ner chair. Jean Modesto, his grand
son, sat with torn net across his
knees and his black head bent. The
rest slipped their coarse WINE and talk
ed to each other spasmodical1y of the
weather or the prospects of a good
catch.
Suddenly Jean Modesto, looking up
from the tear in the net. made with
his free hand the sign of the cross.
The others looked at him with curious,
half frightened eyes. He was staring
through the open doorway at the sea-
There was an instant of heavy silence.
The glasses ceased to clink, and only
old Antoine snored softly in his cor
ner. 81
Jean Modeste's eyes fell again to his
net.
1.-THE Fisher!" heesaid, in a low tone
of explanation.
Everyone, except the sleeping inn
keeper, turned atsonce to the door. Be
tween the horns of the bay the one
wide sail was drifting Iazily nearer.
Again there was silence in the cafe.

with ILL omen andIexpectation of evil

Presently big Jules Bontemps took
a .draught of wine and set the glass
down noisily on the table at which he
sat-

To be in the fashion one must pos
sess at least one spangled gown, for
the world at large and smart women
in particular seem to have gone mad
over the glitter of gold, silver, jet and
mate gold paillettes and sequins with
which the net robes are literally COW
cred. The result is, that an rides
cent shimmering evasive color effect
is produced that one second dazZles in
pink, another green or in every opal
escent shade, for the newest paillettes
are changeable and in every shade of
every imaginable color so that flower
designs can be produced in most nat
ural tints and standings.
Another method appears in one Of
the most exclusive imported models, of
which the sketch is given today, which
is to spangle part of the design in any
lace which may be combined In one of
these glitter gowns, leaving enough of
the lace in it's natural color to heighten
the effect by contrast. This exquisite
creation is of pale blue brussels net
