The New Member Could See Why tho
Old Member Was Popular.
Mrs. Bates Joined the club just as
Mrs. Ames left 1.-THE very week, in
deed, after the Ameses went TO Ari-
IONA. The newcomer was aware that
Mrs. Ames had been prominent in the
social life Of the town, and expected
to hear a good deal about her; but she
owned to herself a little surprise, at
first, at the form of the tributes rem
dered at this impromptu memorial
meeting.
Il wonder If we shall get any birth
day letters after this?'' the secretary.
for one, had said. Mrs. Ames al
ways remembered when her friends
birthdays came" she explained to the
stranger, land she never failed TO
send a little note of love and best
wishes"
DO you suppose there's any one OF
us who could tell the favorite flower
of every other MEMBER the minis
ter's wife asked, with a laugh that
yet had a little culver in il. Il couldn't,
/ own, but I'm sure our friend could
have done it. IF ever any one was i'll.
it was her favorite flower that Mrs.
Ames always sent"
There's no one left who can 'happi-
fly our old folks the way she could"
another added. How much good it
used to do mother TO call therei Mrs.
Ames remembered all her little pecu-
liarities and likings. and never omitted
the small attentions that elderly peo-
pie appreciate. and a h&lf-hour spent
with her used to make mother feel
cheerful and comfortable for a week
or two"
Mrs. Ames never forgot anything
bless her!" the minister's daughter de-
clared, energetically.
Not a word about Mrs. Ames' wealth
n beauty, her social pre-eminence or
the high position of her family The
stranger wondered a little. But the
secretary summed up the whole mat
ter a moment later.
I'VE loved her because she did re-
member all the little things-that
make so much Of life she said. Il
suspect anybody can do a heroic deed
or make a generous sacrifice once in a
while; but the people who make this
earth worth living on are the people
who are always ready to give the cup
of cold water naturally and grace
fully and with a loving heart

Wells of black Chantilly are worn.
There are silk and chiffon hoods fol
evening wear.
Pretty little purses Of gold or silver
chain are shown.
The tricorne hat needs to be worn
with a certain piquancy.
A dark velvet hat trimmed with just
one silver rose is commended.
1t is at the neckwear counter that
a woman's purse strings creak.
Among the silver fancies is a small
decorated vase for holding hatpins.
There are collars of black crepe, or
namented with jet buttons, for mourn
ing.
Most attractive are the girdles Of
omber silk, shading with every move
ment.
Dainty collars of linen or soft mus
lin are worked in colors to match the
gown.
Cunning little fur sets are got out
for children in all the white and gray
skins.
Coque boas may not be so pretty as
the fluffy kind. but they can't come out
of curl.
Just a swirl of dainty chiffon and
a bit of fine lace makes a ravishing
neck thing.
A big bronze beetle, speckled with
old gems, is among covetable neck
jewelry.
This is a day Of r~evivals, and the
stomacher, as the very long, deep
boned bodice point is called, is much
in evidence.
Very splendid are the separate
waists Of fine fabric and handwork,
the price whereof sometimes scars into
three figures.
A three-quarter pongee coat lined
with satin is a handsome and useful
garment that can be worn nearly all
the year round.

STORY OF THE KOHINOOR.

How the Famous Gem Came to BE
Among English Crown Jewels.
In a recent speech in London Lord
Curzon of Kedleston, the Viceroy of
India, referred TO his predecessors in
the government of that empire as men
who worked between an earth like
iron and a sky like brass. laying the
foundations of empire" None worked
v~aliantly than the great pioneer
of material and moral progress, the
Marquis of Dalhousie. to whom is
mainly due the unity of the Indian
Empire. AS encouragement Lord
Dalhousie introduced the telegraph,
built railways, constructed canals, re
duced postage. and organized depart
ments Of public instruction.
1t is to Dalhousie that the English
W their possession of the great Ko-
hinoor diamond. a jewel of famous
history. In 1913 Runjeet-Singh, an In
dian %potentate. extorted it from q po-
litical refugee. After the second Sikh
war ia 1919 Lord Dalhousie confis-
Gated it on ccount of the heavy debt
owed to the East India Company by
the Lahore state.
Dalhousie's latest biographer, Sir
William Lee-Warner. says that the
company imagined it was TO become
their property. but the governor-gen-
eral sent it to Queen Victoria. Those
were adventurous times, and it was
only by great care that the jewel
reached its destination. For weeks
the encouragement wore it on his Pc
son night and day.
The tassels of the armlet in which
the diamond was set had been cut off
to diminish its bulk. and Lady Dial
housie had enclosed the armlet with
its jewel in a leather bag. This bag
was sewed into a cashmere belt lined
with chamois, which Lord Dalhousie
wore constantly.
Two dogs, Baron and Bendar, were
chained TO the governOr-general's bed.
so the safety of the jewel was insured
while he slept. AS an additional pre-
caution, no one save his wife and one
near relative knew its whereabouts,
and it was finally safely conveyed to
Queen Victoria.-Youth's Companion.

Protecting the Face in winter.

After returning home from ex-
posure, to steam the face and rub it
with cold cream has excellent results.
but not before going out. Then the
face should not have any pore OPEN
Ing application. Another point that
those who wish to preserve the deli
cacy and ~softness of their skin should
be most particular about in winter
Is the quality Of the water they use
on their faces. To have a brilliant
complexion soap and water, contrary
to some persons ideas, are a fine qua
non. But it should be of the softest
OF water and the purest Of soaps.
Where the quality OF the water is nat
urally hard, a little borax or, what is
also very good, cornmeal bags should
invariably be put into the water.
Where there is any unwonted ex-
posure the white Shetland wool wells
are by far the best. 1t is very easy
to see through their meshes, and they
keep the face perfectly warm and pro-
tected. Before going out for any pro-
tracted exposure in very cold weather
wash the face in cold water, to close,
not open, the pores of the skin, and in
returning home battle the face with
hot water and rub well with cold
cream, care being taken in the interim
to protect the face by the aforesaid
Shetland veil.-New York Tribune.

Iron Making in Early History.

Iron was used before history was
written. The stone records of Egypt
and the brick books of Nineveh men
ton it. Genesis ok. 22) refers TO
Tubalcain as IAN instructor of every
artificer in brass and iron," and in
Deuteronomy iii. III the bedstead or
the giant Og was "a bedstead of IRON"
The galleys of Tyre and Sidon traded
in this metal. Chinese records ascribed
to 1000 B. G. refer to it. Horace speaks
Of it as superior to bronze. The bronze
age came before the iron age because
copper, found as a nearly pure metal,
easily fuses, and with another soft
metalEtin or zinc-aiioys into hard
bronze, while iron, found only as an
ore, must have the impurities burned
and hammered out by great heat and
force before it can be made into a tool.

CHAPTER VII.

CHAPTER VII.
Around me is a chaos of confusion.
Ivan's belongings strew the floor like
the leaves on the strand after a tenn
pest. His open desk, with its contents
scattered broadcast, is at my feet; his
bedclothes lie a twisted heap. with the
mattress beside the bed. The table,
too, is Uttered with old letters, manu-
scripts, note scraps relative to his claw
studies; but where is their owner? Where
is Pavel Yegorevitch?
"They have been taken" l groan,
a huge wave of bitterest remorse rising
and sweeping over my soul. Have / re-
turned to this miserable world only to
bring misfortune to those who are dear
est to me? Am l ever to be doomed to
blast like a thunderbolt all l come in
contact with? To prove a curse where
1 most would bless?

l laugh harshly. Hast thou forgotten
Vera Sassulitch?" 1 say. There was
nothing found against her-nothing but
the f~aintest shadow Of 6 suspicion rested
on her, yet that hindered them not from
keeping her two long years Of her girls
life in the fortress without trial. And
she was scarcely eighteen!
Maruscha hangs her head and signs
drearily. She replies not. What can
she reply to this cruel fate?
II need scarcely ask Of what they
accuse on brothers," 1 observe at length,
with bitterness. st is not the manner
Of the Russian authorities to prefer an
accusation when they arrest a subject.

Yet she is here-she has not been ar

her: it is due to his. reticence that she

They were talking about a friend OF
hers who had married a bishop sta
toned in Kamchatka or Timbuktu or
some other heather land.
II never could understand why she
married him" said the young woman.
"She seemed the last girl on earth to
marry a bishop. She cared 50 much
more for having a good lime than she
did for church work and sewing cir
cles."
"Girls are pretty wise nowadays"
said the young man. 'and they gener-
ally have a good reason for marrying
the way they do. A girl friend of mine
married a doctor so she could always
be well for nothing, and maybe this
girl married the bishop so she could
