were fixed on the unconscious babies and the wide jaws, open and ponderous, dripped with the foam of eager unsat-, isfied greed. Frantically calling the, dogs outside the front door to enter and help her. the brave girl caught the large lamp that stood just within the, mothers room and hurled it full at the horrible, gaping jaws. Then, leapingl aside to escape the furious onslaught brought on herself, she stopped quick as q thought and tossed upon the high, bed in the corner the suddenly reused and frightened children. She turned from this task to find that the infuria
 ted alligator. diverted from It's original purpose and confused by the unexpect- ed attack, dashed straight through the open door and made it's way to the bed- side of the helpless, terrified mother. Without a seconds hesitation the devo- ted daughter rushed to her aid
 A shovel of hot coals from the glow ing fire thrown directly against the yi- cious eyes of the angry creature only served to strengthen and intensity his fury. Apparently his entire will was now bent upon the destruction of the
 helpless woman on the bed. The awful snapping jaws were within a few feet
 of her body when the desperate Alice,
 returning from the kitchen with the stout axe that had just recurred to her memory, sank 1t to the helve in the thick neck. Narrowly escaping severe injury in the death struggle that fol-
 lowed, all but fainting with nervous ness and conflicting emotions. the brave girl followed this blow by others no less telling and doughty. When the still
 quivering, but no longer rnurderous,
 creature had been reduced to absolute Impotence the entire house looked as
 though 1t had been wrecked by vandals, and the weary eonqueror found herself suffering from many bruises. August Wonall's Home Cof1panion.

FEEDING THE WORLDS FAIR AMI
 MAILS.

The feeding of the Fair animals has come to be a feature in the daily Rro- gramme, and people may be seen going at the gait the snapshot so often catch- es so as to get there on time to see it done. They find it useless to try to be present at all of these interesting func- tions on the same day. for they occur too nearly at the same time and are situated too far apart.
 The Government seals and birds nearly. always have company at meal time, while the wild animals up beyond the Forestry building quite dine alone, They spent their time trotting around their cages and talking about what they would do to each other if the wires were not between When their keeper ap-. pears there is great excitement, for he carries tin water bucket, a basket of bread, another of raw meat and stick which to quell any signs of objection to the bill of fare. This last may be hint for other food concessionaires.
 The tinid little deer sees him first and discreetly. withdraw to corner while their managers are filled with fresh hay land their drinking trough with water. The bobtailed lynx sees him next, and with much backaching and spitting the big spotted cat awaits his chunk of meat. Two 1.-the mountain lions bound over each other and eye himintently; he gives them their share, when they doze until next meal or until sundown when they grow restless, for they are natur- ally night providers. The keeper goes in to all the cages with the food and water, but he closses the door behind him and keeps his face to the animals.
 The gray-sharp- coons eat bread, as deoes the little black bear, and after eating they curl up and go to sleep The tame woodohucks come up for back scratching and sit up to eat bread. The gentle old beaver prefers grasa and the
 bark of tWigs and him the keeper lifts out at arms length, out of deference to that powerful flail-like tail and deposits with a splash in the pond. There he swirns about and then sits upon the
 bank in the sun, and with his claws carefully combs out his wet hair. The high-shouldere eagles scream and flap
 their wings as they deftly catch the meat thrown them in their claws, while fthe row of big-eyed, cross-looking. snap lping owls swallow their chunks of meat with gulp and show themselves living examples that the bolting of meals is
 perfectly harmless. The ducks and lpheasants eat their corn daintily and look with wonder at the pelican, who waits moodily for his fish,
 Nobody seems to get there just as the forestry building beavers are fed, but only in time to find them gnawing
 busily at the barks or sticks of alder

Italy and Spain. As for our own coun- try. it is not necessary to watch a Fifth avenue parade or an opera night. Every department store sends forth ever yafternoon more beauty among its shop grls than can be seen in a month on the boulevards or in the Bois.
 The Parisienne is sallow, she Is usu- ally squat of figure. and, in the fieshly curves, nature is generous beyond all proportion. That she is wholly charm ing is the highest tribute possible to the taste. the vicacity, the dash of her per- sonality, and, above all, to her artistic mastery of the toilet, which enables the plainest little workwoman. as well as the grandest of ''grandes danes" to wear always the right thing at the right time in the right way. That rarest of feminine faculties is shared only by tasteful minority of Ameri- can women. So the Parisienne need not fear that the end of her reign among the women of Europe is at hand because she has heard at last the un- palatable truth that she is not beauti- ful.

EoHi the grisettes of Gavarini to the mon- daines of Hellu the types chosen by the draughtsmen of their contemporary countrywomen are idealized into a sem blance utterly foreign to Paris. No Partisan before Provost confessed ir, but history long ago proved the lack of French beauty. From Mary Stuart to Marie Antoinette the women worshiped in Paris for their beauty were seldom native born.

THE MYTH OF FRENCH BEAUTY.
 At last Frenchman has been found who admits that his countrywomen are not beautiful Marcel Provost, chief ri- val of Paul Bourget for the prinlacy in fashionable fiction making, brayely, if not gallantly, stands sponsor for the fact He modities his statement by adding that 'plenty of them are pret- ty; you never see plain Parisienne; but the prettiness is of the toilet"
 This is no new thing. Parisian beau- ty has never been anything but a tra- dition. Beauty has always abounded among the bare-footed peasant lassies of Ireland and the fresh-faced girls of the English countryside, before they reach the parting of the ways that lead English women either to beefiness or cancellation. There is real beauty among the Viennese, and faces and fig tures not to be forgotten are found in

GIRLS FIGHT WITH ALLIGATOR.
 A frail, slender girl, Miss Nelson. one fine night early in April, 1903, sat quiet ly beside her mother. From the next room where the two little children had
 been left playing came strange grat- ing sound. The elder sister stepped to the door between the two apartments, only to turn pale with dismay and hor- TOT, for there, fast asleep on the hearth rug, lay the little brother and sister, and crawling slowly across the floor to- ward them great slimy alligator, evil dently attracted to the house by the hope of young kittens or puppies, wriggled and writhed.
