story. AS I said before, during my de-
scent, my friends sister had proved too
powerful a magnet for nay eyes. For
over: year she had possessed my heart
but until the day we climbed the noun

how she felt toward me. But that day
I had resolved to try my faith and the
words sticking confusedly in my heart.
I was stan1mering out my confession to
her when: had fallen and slid SO hur-

that was that the woman I loved and

Her brother was trying to console her
but Lucienne answered sobbing:

A wave of happiness rushed over me.
I tried once more to call but Edmund
did not leave me time. Leaning over
the edge of the abyss he saw me and
cried:
"He lives, Lucienne! He is alive!'
with leap he stood beside me. The
young girl followed quickly and looking
deep into my eyes, her own filled with
love, she demanded:

FEEBI.E-MINDED WOMEN

From American Medicines:
In one state, Indiana, there were last
year 404 feeble-minded women in the
asylums for the poor; ITO of these were
between sixteen and forty five years of
age. One Of these women had borne II,
another II, another 8 children. Five
had had 10 children, and of these 10
the histories of Is had been looked up.
These Is had been maintained at public
expense a total of over 104 years. AS
Stunning that it had cost as little as $500
a year, they have cost the state al
ready over $4,000, and 10 Of them are
still on public support, which last year
cost cost $1,163.10. This is one small
item in one state. What would the
figures be for all the states? Every
where these women are freely allowed
to propagate their kind unchecked by
law or the simplest dictates of pru-
dence. What folly it is to keep these
diseased and useless wrecks at public
expense and allow them to multiply
their numbers, which must also be sup
ported by the taxpayers. The stock
farm carried on after that plan would
soon end. In Indiana the disgracefu]
condition has aroused such a reaction
| that provision for the care Of feeble
minded women has been made. and sc
women who are unable to contro
| themselves are at least prevented
from bearing children afflicted in the
same way. The women are largely
self-supporting. Every state should
! have similar institutions.

The men looking questioningly at
Marvel as he stood leaning against the
chimney piece. In reply to their mute
inquiries, he began:
Il was once travelling in the Bernese
Oberland, among the Alps. We had
been climbing that day, my comrade,
Edmund, his sister. Lucienne and my
self, toward a glacier situated about
half way up the mountain. When we
started to make our descent, it was al
ready growing dusk and we had to
reach a little village, looking like a
mere speck in the distance ) before
nightfall. TO shorten our journey we
quilted the path that twined around in
innumerable loops and started directly
down the mountain side. It was very
steep and we were obliged to use the
greatest prudence, bracing ourselves
with the alpenstock and avoiding the
slightest misstep, in a word, 1t was
necessary to put your whole attention
upon the next step. I must confess,
Of the declivity my attention wandered
constantly to the companion of our
excursion. In order to let my eyes rest
upon those Of Mademoiselle. Lucienne
frequently lifted them from my :alpen-
stock and the moment came when
alas! I looked UP once too often. My
stock wavered in my hand, having nc
sure foundation: then it bent uselessly

ALL coNQUERING T 7 !.
T.: RUCHE HERE
rom the Philadelphia Inquirer:

From the Philadelphia Inquirer:
The woman who wishes to be up-to-
date must have ruching for a finish
to the neck and sleeves of her gowns
and as many ruffes as she can afford.
No goWn~~or wrap is considered conf
plete without a touch Of ruching some
where.
Instead Of stiff, white collars, stocks
are made of the waist material, either
fagoted or plain, and double fold of
scrim, crepe de lisse or ruching added
to soften the effect: AS these ruchings
come in every conceivable shade and
quality, their use is limitless.
Combined with chiffon, ruching is
made into rufus, the fluffiness of which
Is bewitching. Some Of these ruffs are
made to fall nearly to the bottom Of
the gown in cascades.
An occasional hat is seen covered en-
tirely with ruchfng and milliners says
that this foretells some of the effects
which will be seen in Eastern chapeaus.
The hat which was made to wear with
the marabout ruff and muff described
In the foregoing was an exquisite Gre
alton, toQue shape and literally cover
ed with white ruching. Around the
brim a row of white roses, edged with
dainty white ruching.
An all red hat, made of red silk ruch-
ing, was worn with a blue gown, which
had red ruching at the neck and
sleeves. An all black hat was made of
! ruching, it was also the cape with stole
ends. Wide black ruching with a lace
edge was used to finish the cape and
| hung from the jacket sleeves over the
| hands.
| Some of the prettiest ruchings are
| hemstitched; others are stitched twice
or three times with white silk to give
a richer effect. These are especially
! favored for use on childrens' coats and
| hats. Another dainty ruching is made
deep in the back and graduates at the
! sides. It is to be worn to give the
! Medici collar effect.
Evening coats and wraps never ap-
peared SO fluffy as they do now. Some
| Of them are covered with row upon row
| of ruching. In this case ruffles of &C.
contemplated chiffon are cascaded
down the front and around the wrists
| Of the long-fowing sleeves.
For tea jackets, dressing sacques and
! house gowns, ruffles are an exceeding
| ly popular means of decoration. Some
! of the ruffles on theose house gowns
show row after row of ruching, which
| gives the effect Of billOw Of lace. It
| is especially desirable for use on crepe
de chine.
Ruching is also made into artistic
| hair ornaments, and gives a pretty fin
| ISL LII the SulSe OF pO1HpO1lS u eVe1l-
ing slippers. Some of the new flower
fans are edged with ruching, and when
| folded look like lilies. Evening sashes
are also likewise beautifed. Evening
gloves are shown buttoned up the
| arm, with an edging up the length Oh
| the fastening.
Even the new golf jackets have ar
edging of green ruching around the
| neck and down the front to soften the
generally severe effect.

MARCEL WAVE.
Is the Marcel wave as fashionable

is the marcel wave as IaSh1OnaDle as
it wasp
yes, with blondes and grayhaired
women, who can afford to have it pro-
fessionally done, either by their maids
or hairdresser; but the larger ma
jority of women have found that, un-
less it is performed by one who thor
oughly understands the part, the re-
suits are sure to be ruinous.
THE amount of pressure and heat
required to give the desired kink is
so severe that few heads of hair can
stand it for any length of time with
out rebell:ng. The; intense heat and
scorching naturally rob it of it's beau
ty, and absorb the oil. That is why
not one woman out Of a hundred can
manipulate the Marcel wave with any
thing like success.
1.-THE waves must be just so far
apart, and the pressure upon the tongs
even all over the head. This is trick
that requires both time and patience,
even when performed upon another
head" -. X

WOMAN AND HER WAYS

From the Chicago Inter Ocean:
Professor Hatfield of Northwestern
university is credited with advancing
and championing the idea of adding the
study of WOmen's ways and whims tC
the curriculum of that institution.
And he is credited also with taking
the very sensible view that since uni
versities are intended to prepare young
men for life, and since women enter
largely into the lives of. men, the least
that the higher education can do, and
the most important thing it can do, Is
tific knowledge Of the psychology OF
II Northwestern university can az
/ this successfully there. can be no sort
of doubt about it's future, for it will
have solved the problem Of all the ages
We shall know at last-for the students
can hardly keep it to themselves-why
women say mo" when : they near
Eyes," why they say don't" when they
off street cars, and why they do lot
Of other things that have been incom-
prehensible to men since the days OF
Adam.
Whether it will do male humanity any
good to know why women do things
that man it at present unable to under
stand, is a question. We are inclined
to say offhand that the less man knows
about the mysterious ways of woman
the better for himself She is an ador-
able thing in the sight of sensible neI
now because they do not understand
her. If they understood her as Well
for example, as they understand each
other, they might cease to find in he1
ways and whims, her moods and tense:
that charm which always attaches tt
mystery.
A course of lectures on the psychology
popular understanding Of woman
means the ability to understand thai
she cannot be understood, and will
this possibility in view there is no rea
son why Professor Hatfeld's idea
should not be encouraged

NEW IDEA ON EDUCATION

From the Winnipeg telegram:
A striking suggestion has been made
in Germany, and is being discussed
earnestly by prominent authorities on
the subject Of education.
1t is to take the schools on voyages
not merelytss ho rt; trips to- neighb ofi1g
localities But On Journeys that shall
cover all. Europe and finally all the
world.
The idea, behind the proposition is
that this method will enforce the value
of what is taught, BECAUSE. after the
pupils have had course, say in the
tory, they will be taken over that Sec
tion and thus will gain an Immediate
and unforgettable knowledge Of it.
The plan at present is to limit the
travelling to journeys through Germany
only, and the scheme for providing the
travelling facilities is extremely simple.
The control which" the government
exercises over railroads makes it feas-
ible in Germany to get government aid
for the plan by arranging for special
trains with practical nominal rates Of
fare.
Having arranged this, the plan is
to start a number of: schools from a
number of cities at the same time; for
instance,- a school starts from Ham,
burg to Leipzig and at the same mo-
ment a school starts from Leipzig to
Hamburg. A Berlin school sets out On
a trip to Kiel at the same moment that
the Kiel school starts for Berlin.
Arrived in the city Of their destina-
ton, each school repairs at once to the
school house of the pupils who are on
their way to the other city. This school
house is thus converted into tempo
rary hotel for the visiting pupils.
It will be seen that this simple plan
would enable the pupils from each city
to make the circuit Of all the rest, find
ing a vacant school house in each city.

''I,'UCK.''

He played all the tips on the races
That any one offered to him;
He INDUCED in the liquid that braces
But leaves the eye moistened and dim.
He harked to the men who were telling
How stocks are quite certain to 80;
He cheerily mortgaged his dwelling,
And when he was deepest in woe
He vowed that the fate unpropitious
Conspired 'gainst, his wisdom and
pluck;
And henceforth he'd be superstitious
And admit the existence of "luck.'
