Fly-Leaf Memoranda.

Every now and then you will find In
some periodical an item relating to the
subject of a book in which you are in
terested. 1t is a good plan to enter on
the fy-leaf a reference to this passage,
so that you may find it again when
needed. Such notes. neatly written in
pencil, do 40 harm, and will often save
you much time. You may in the same
way make notes OF the numbers Of
pages in which you have been special
ly interested. A correspondent writes
to us asking whether we recommend
marking books" To this extent we
certainly do, provided the book is not
so fine an edition that it should be kept
as spotless as can be. Besides, very
light pencil notes can be removed in a
moment without harm to any page.
But the marking of books that extends
to disfiguring them will never be done
by any n who realizes how long a
good book may continue to delight new
readers, and to bring them help in
right living and thinking.-St. Mich

When one knows the age Of a woman
one knows the The very fact
that she permits you to know her age
exposes her character. She no longer
masquerades. She has lost a certain
uncertainty, an evanescent delicacy,
that was an irresistible charm. Wom-
en-, like philosophy, are divided into
two classes, the movable and the I'M
movable. Also, like philosophy, it is
the unknowable woman who Is the
speculable. Therefore to get her at her
highest capacity she must be unmar
ried and about 80.
The married woman presents certain
~inescapable telltale data. She has
children, and those children have ap-
parent ages, two facts which 60 far in
determining her annals. If she is IN
married and is not about 80" she Is
under 80, again a definite fact. Being
about 30' is indefinite. She may be
more or less. No one hazards a guess.
There is a delightful vagueness in be-

with dates, and many Of us who from
our youth up have felt no attachment
for dates can forgive the unattached

CHAPTER w.

The usual small crowd of passenger
was assembled in Liverpool street sta
tion-hurrying, talking, laughing and
scanning possible ship companions with
an eager curiosity; and in the midst of
them, Yolande found herself for the mo-
ment alone. A woman came into this
wide, Notwithstanding station, and tim
idly and yet anxiously scanned the faces
of the various people who were on the
platform adjoining the special train. She
carried a small basket. After an anxious
scrutiny she wen up to Yolande.
II beg your pardon, miss" And
with that her trembling hands opened the
basket, which was filed with flowers.
mo, thank you; l don't want any"
said Yolande, civilly. But there was
something in the woman's imploring eyes
that said something to her. She was
startled; and stood still.
"Are-are you going further than Glib
%raltar, miss? ?"
"Yes. Yes, l think So" said Yolande,
wondering.
There were tears running down the
woman's face. For a second or two she
tried to speak, Intellectually, then she
said:
1.-TWO days out from-from Gibraltar
would you be so kind, miss, as to put
these howers-on the water? My lit
tie girl was buried at sea-two days
out"
"Oh, l understand you," said Yolande,
quickly-with a big lump in her throat.
"Oh, yes, l will! l am so sorry for YOU
She took the basket. The woman burst
out crying; and hid her face In her hands
and then turned to go away. She was
so distracted with her grief that she
had forgotten even to say ''Thank you
At the same moment Mr.. Winterbourne
anne up-hastily and angrilys
What is this?"
FLUSH, papa! The poor woman had a
little girl buried at sea-these are some
flowers"
Yolande went quickly after her, sand
touched her on the shoulder.
Tell me-" she said, what was your
daughters name?"
The woman raised her tear-stained
face,
Jane. We called her jamie; she was
only three years old; she would have beer
ten by now. You won't forget, INSIST
vast was two days beyond Gibraltar
that-that we buried her." .
"Oh, no; do you think could forgetT

The woman took her hand, and pressed
it: and said, "God bless you, miss

she hurried away.

could have his fathers dahabeah-or
rather one of them, for his father is Gov
ernor of Merhadj, and a bit of a swell, 1
fancy. There you are, now. That would
be something to 'do. People wouldn't
think we were idiots. We could have
our sail all the same to Suez, and see
the old faces at Glib. and Malta; then we
could have a skim up the Nile a bit-and,
by the way, we shall have it all to our
selves just now"
THE very thing" exclaimed Mr.. Win
t%erbourne, eagerly, for his imagination
seemed easily captured by the suggestion
of anything remote. Nothing could be
more admirable. Yolande, what do you
sayT'
Indeed, she seemed greatly pleased;
and when they went in to lunch, they
had a table to themselves, so as to secure
a full and free discussion of plant. Mrs.
Graham talked in the most motherly way
to YOlande, and petted her. But she
was a shrewd-headed little m Very
soon after lunch she found an opportu-
nifty of talking with her husband alone.
Il think Yolande Winterbourne pref
tier and prettier the longer | see her."
she said, carelessly.
"She is a good-looking girl. You'll
have to look out, Polly. You won't have
the whole ship waiting on you this time"
And very rich-Quite an heiress, they
say"
Il suppose Winterbourne is pretty well
off. Making engines is quite respecta-
BILE. Nobody could complain of that"
"Oh," she said blithely, II haven't
heard from Archie for a long time. l
wonder what he is about-watching the
nesting of the grouse, l suppose. jim,
l wish you'd let me ask him to go with
us. It's rather dull for him up there;
my father isn't easy to i've with. May
l ask him?'
He'll have to pay his own fare to
Suez and back, then" her husband an
swered rather roughly.
"Oh, yes; why nOt?" she said, with
great innocence; 81 am sure poor Archie
is always willing to pay when he can;
and | do wish my father would be a little
more liberal"
Then Mrs. Graham, smoothing her
pretty short curls, and with much pleas
ure visible in her pretty dark-gray eyes,
went to her own room and sat down, and
wrote as follows:
Dear Archie-Jom's good nature is
beyond anything. We are going to have
n look at Malta, just for auld lang syne;
and then Jim talks of taking us up the
Nile a bit; and he says you ought to go
with us, and you will only have to pay
your passage to Suez and back-which
you could easily save out of your hats
and boots if you would only be a little
less %extravagant. Mr.. Winterbourne, the
member for Slagpool, is going with us;
and he and Jim will have the expenses
of the Nile voyage. Mr.. W~interbourne's
daughter makes up the party. She is
rather nice, l think; but only a child.
Let me know at once. Your loving sis
ter, POLLY"
She folded up the letter, put it in an
envelope; and addressed it so:
The Hon. the Master of Lynn,
Lynn Towers.

How the New Shirt Waists Will Dis

The new shirt waist is known by the
cut Of its cuff and the turn Of its col

seasons, it fits to perfection.

lack of droop below the elbow and the
deep cuff when a cuff is used at ALL
The more elaborate waists fasten in
the back with tiny pearl or linen but

Patent Leather With Cloth Uppers
Makes the Smart Shoe.
The smart shoe of the season will be
of patent leather with snug fitting
broadcloth uppers. These shoes have
high heels on the Cuban order and the
vamps are of the softest leather, with
rounded toes. When expense is not
to be considered the uppers match the
gown material. But when the shoes
are bought ready made the usual col
ors for the upners are black. white and
checked cloth.
These shoes are worn by children
as well as grownups. They are ex-
pensive, but give the foot trim. neat
appearance.
Spats are very much worn, but they
are not always made to fit the outline
Of the instep and heel.
