The Fan In Egypt.

In Egypt the fan was not only an
emblem Of royalty, but also Of happi-
ness and heavenly rest. The oldest
Egyptian fan now extant is preserved
in the museum of Bulak and is said
to have belonged to the Queen Aah-
Hotep and is consequently nearly thir-
ty-fve centEies old. The crown and
wooden handle of this curiosity are
covered with thin plates of gold, and
all around the former at equal inter
vals are small holes, in which the nod
ding ostrich plumes were once inserted.
A long handled screen fan is repre-
sented in the triumph Of King Horus
(14OO B. O., and the wall paintings at
Medinah Habon show that Rameses
was attended by twenty-three princes,
each bearing an elegant screen fan and
rejoicing in the sounding title Of 'fan
bearer on the left hand Of the king. y
Fans were also used In Egypt for reli-
gious ceremonies, for Isis priests held
long handled fans made Of the wings
Of bird and somewhat resembling
the Greek caduceus. From Egypt and
the far east fans soon found their way
into Greece, where the first specimens
assumed the shape Of acacia, plantain
or lotus leaves, but in later years the
ladies showed marked preference for
gorgeous peacock feather fans.

One spring observed with much in

not far from my cabin in the woods.
The male looked on approvingly, but

In the early morning hours she made
her trips at intervals of a minute or
two. The male firted his tail and

His Lordship
And My Lady :
By Epes Winthrop Sargent
Copyright, 1904, by e. W. Sargent


His lordship was a good sort in his
way. He was great at golf, could ride
and knew how to handle yacht, and
he was not one of the sort that comes
over here merely to marry the richest
girl who is willing to have him.

but she had all the airs and graces of

her MY Lady" but the possessive case

to make her My Lady" in fact, as in
truth she had been ever since the day
when as boy in my first long trousers
| awoke to realization that Grace
was the incest girl knew.
Every one used to laugh at us when
we both were children because old
Mrs. Ormonde, Grace's grandmother,
approved the match. AS the old lady
had the money, the rest all approved
of what she approved. Then she went
away. Just about that time the poor
old pater lost his money In the Nine
teenth National crash, and Mr.. Or
monde had little chat with me about
what he called our Childish infatua-
tion."
He was proud, he said, to know that
his old friend Chat was poor daO was
willing to sacrifice his private fortune

knew it was asking lot Of a hand

no set engagement. He had let her

The Only Danger.

A lady was very solicitous about her
health. Every trif1e made her uneasy,
and the doctor was called Immediately.
The doctor was skillful man and con-
sequently had large practice. 1t was
very disagreeable to him to be SO often
called away from his other cases for
nothing, and he resolved to take an
opportunity of letting the lady see this.
One day the lady observed a red spot
on her hand and at once sent for the
doctor. He came, looked at her hand
and said
'You did well to send for me early )"
The lady looked alarmed and asked:
us it dangerous, then?''
Certainly not" replied the doctor.
Tomorrow the spot would have dis
appeared, and should have lost my
fee for this visit"

we saw lot of each other, but only at
balls and things like that, fussy affairs
where we couldn't steal off to the con-
servatory that Mrs. Ormonde didn't
send chap after us to tell My Lady"
that it was too damp and that she was
to come right into the drawing room.
Then I had chance to make some
money. Poor father did not long sur
vive the bank crash. He wasn't re-
sponsible, but somehow he seemed to
feel that 1t was disgrace. Mother
had some money, and got chance,
with Bert Taylor, on patent that in
a few years will make us more than
merely rich. It was hard work at
first, but we hustled like ten dollar a
week men, and now we are pretty
well along.

He was awfully nice about it, with

you from kicking man when you
want to most. He reeled out lot Of
talk about his duty toward his daugh-
ter (as though her happiness should not
be the first consideration and ex-

she knew why he had come. Lancas-
ter had been attracted by her picture

England. When he saw her in all her

marry her.
The formal announcement was to be
made at the end Of the Newport sea

The Des Moines {Ia.) Leader says:
When Mr.. Lloyd Maitland returned
to his home in Des Moines recently
after an absence of nine years, bring
ing with him a pretty Hawaiian bride,
he caused considerable excitement in
his old home.
His coming was entirely unexpected
just at this time, although his parents
knew he was on his way home. Arriv-
ing at a late hour one cold night, he
proceeded Immediately to his home.
HWhat's wanted?'' asked his mother,
in no very cordial tones at thus being
disturbed at such an unseemly hour.

questioned the returning globe trotter,
while the pretty Hawaiian wife stood
shivering behind him. 'SYes,'' came
the answer. 'EWell, there's a Matt
land out here that s pretty cold and
would like to get in. Needless to
say the door flew open wide and a
pretty tableau was enacted.
Mr.. Maitland left Des Moines about
nine We" ago and since then has been
around the world and pretty much all
over it. He saw service in the Philip
pines during the Spanish war, then
drifted to Honolulu, then to Bombay
and has just returned from China and
Japan where he has had employment
with the Chinese Hand Car railroad
company.
It was while Mr.. Maitland was one
of the mounted police in Hawaii that
he met the girl who is now his wife
at a church sociable. The dark beauty
of this daughter of foreign race play
ed havoc with the heart strings of the
big American policeman and so meath
sunny tropical skies the romance was
woven which eliminated in the wed
ding. Mrs. Maitland is a very talent
ed young woman. Before her marriage
she was Miss Fannie Leslie, the daugh-
ter of a rich plantation owner in Ha-
waii. For six years she attended the
Kamehameha school for girls on her
native island.
Her father, Mr.. Fred Leslie, went to
the islands some twenty-eight years
ago from England and was married to
her mother, who is part Hawaiian and
part German. The family are very
prominent socially on the islands
Mr.. Maitland spent about five years
on the islands and considers Honolulu
one CT the most beautiful cities in the
world. Mr.. and Mrs. Maitland expect
to make their future home in Des
Moines, although it may be some time
before the Hawaiian girl, long used to
warm sea breezes, can accustom herself
to the rigor of the northern winters.
