THE Masquerader." by Katherine Cecil
Thurston. az a story. is one of the best
that have happened recently. and it seems
likely to make something OF n stir. There
is a nice little question OF ethics in the
last part OF the book. where an unnar-
ried hero takes the name and place Of
his married double, n question whether
marriage under an assumed name does
away with the wrongdoirg. Though the
story IS not much more than the effective
propoundlng Of that question to the read

who are interested in some particular
girl are beginning to puzzle over
suitable Christmas present. The fol-
lowing suggestions are offered to per-
picked bachelors:
If she is fond of reading, books
would be welcome gift. Most girls
never have too many purses, cardcases,
or pocketbooks, and this season there
is a craze for little handbags and
many charming novelties in them
The vanity bags" so called because
they are fitted with a mirror powder
puff, ETC., as well as a notebook, card
case, and change purse, are most con-
venient and useful. They cost all the
way from 50 to $25. A shirt waist set,
consisting of three jeweled pins, a belt
buckle, and brooch, is a dainty gift
A leather writing case with her mono
gram on the outside, an umbrella with
a handsome handle, a beautiful plant
In a pot, a framed etching, photo
graph engraving. or pen sketch, a
fitted sewing box or basket, a pretty
lamp for her desk, or an outfit for her
writing table in brass or bronze or
crystal-inkwelI pen tray, blotter. etc.
Any of these things would be appre-
ciated by most girls.

Strange Negro Tells His Tale of Woe
to the Police.


to the Police.
George Jones, a negro who came to
Savannah several days ago from one of
the turpentine stills in the lower part
of the state, had a story of unusual
pathos, involving the infidelity of
friend to pour into the sympthetic ear
Of Desk Sergeant McCool at police
headquarters yesterday afternoon.
Jones had engaged room at a lodg-
ing house conducted by Martha Mar
shall at No. ALT Perry street, west Soon
after arriving in the city he met an old
friend whom he said he had known in
the penitentfary in Florida. The friend
was hale fellow well met, and the two
walked for some distance together.
Jones told his new found friend all
about his success at the turpentine
camp, and that he actually saved $35 to
come to Savannah and blow for Christ
mas.
When the old friend proposed that
they go to some suitable resort and lay
a foundation for a three story jag the
stranger in town interposed an objec-
ton, deferring the consummtion of this
crowning event until some subsequent
day after he had notified another friend
of his presence in the city. The two
parted company a short distance
further on.
Jones says when he returned home
he discovered his valise, a parasol, a
policy on the G. u. o. F. and $35 miss
ing, and hastened to inquire their
whereabouts from the woman. He WAS
told the man with whom he had last
been seen in company had returned to
the house and stated he was authoriz-
ed to take the goods to his own resi-
dence, where his friend had decided to
spend the rest of his time while in the
city.
