Il May or May Not Appear Next
Spring.

When dinner had been finish ed ana
the Bowser family had returned to the
sitting room. Mr.. Bowser sat down and
began staring, at the cat When he
had kept his gaze on her for two min
utes the feline began to show signs of
anxiety, and Mrs. Bowser spoke up
and said:
What. on earth are you staring at
the eat that way for?''
"As an experiment. Do you notice
the strength of the human over the
animal rnind?"
Z couldn't waste my time staring at

because you have attempted to murder
him on three or four occasions
And I'll accomplish it yet, though

He was no sooner inside than he ran
about the parlors and hail. snuffing at
everything, and Mr.. Bowser got his
pencil and paper ready and wrote:
The first thing a dog does on en-
tering a strange house is to go about

''Then you can believe the other thing.
Your ignorance is further evidence of
the need of such a book. Go to the
nearest school and ask 100 scholars why
before lying down, and not two can
even guess at the true reason. Let us
hear what you have to say"
"She wants to pick out soft spot, of
course
Just as I thought Your are not

approaches
Are you going to begin on the book
tonight?"
'.At once. I shall take the cat as my
first subject, and follow with the dog,
the rat, the mouse, the COW, the horse,
and SO on. 1 am now going out on the
street to find dog and bring him in
here and study him. All my studies will
be from ffe.'
IF you are going to trot any ours
into this house I shall go upstairs and
you can do so, if you wish. In
fact. it would probably be better.
Down here you would only distract
the dogs attention I don't propose to
indulge in any guesSwrok in this thing

spot
With that Mr.. Bowser clappeds on
his hat and went out He hadn't far
to go to find dog One stood on the
corner looking around in a dazed way
and evidently lost. and after a few
kind words he decided to follow back
to the house. It happened to be a
good. night for dogs. There were two
more between the house and the cor
ner, and they also decided to follow
along. If the first struck a good thing
he might divide. While three CANNES
arrived at the foot of the Bowser steps,
only one was admitted. Mrs. Bowser
looked over the banisters and saw
that 1t was a common cur, and she
realized that something would happen
before that dog was out of the house.

You Must

II you cannot, it is due to an

Nature demands sleep, and

of Inconsistencies relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and

they went out in a bunch and the door

Greens are we'll to the front among
the autumn cOlorings, all of the olive
shades retaining their prestige; while
the grayish olive, called in Paris by the
expressive name of pea soup green, is
much used both in frocks and in nilli-
merry. Some of the most chic little hats
for general wear are in shades of this
color, but it is not universally becom-
ing, and though the millinerS assure us
that it goes with everything, the state
ment does credit to their enthusiasm
raher than to their discretion. 1t does,
however, consort arnicably with many
shades-and is in itself very soft and
charming.
Just what is to be done with the
plaidS no one seems to know. Paris has
accepted very startling plaids, unusually
large, and EXPRESSED not only in sub
dued shaded tones, but i'll sharply con-
trasting colorings. The tartans appear
but there are, too, many coloringS OF
which the Scotch clans never even
dreamed.
Even the popular blue and green COM
binations SO familiar in tartanS take on
new color schemes. in some instances a
turquoise or vivid peacock or kingf1sher
blue being substituted for the more quiz
ct shades used in the tartans. Ameri-
cans have never taken kindly to pro-
nounced plaidS,s and it remains to be
seen what they will do about the plaids
launched this season; but it seems safe
to predict that the vogue of the strik-
ing plaid will not be great here. no
matter how earnestly it may be urged
in Paris.
Some of the French models in plaids
deserve recognition both for their beau
ty of coloring and for the cleverness
with which the difficult materials have
been handled. One frock, for example,
was in moderately large plaid shaded
through turquoise blues, grays, black
and white
It was made with very simple cir
cular skirt cut with broad flare and with
| a bias seam down the front. The bolero
was draped in big soft plaids and its
revers turned back, showing at top and
! bottom of the fronts little waistcoat
made of turquoise blue velvet. There
was position back to this bolero, and
/ the buttons large and small, which trim
med the bolero were particularly effec-
! tive, being shaded turquoise of rough,
wavelike surface. set in narrow rims of
dull gold.
other noticeable pIaids are used for
skirts with which are worn short coats

made with waistcoat or collar and cuffs
of another color represented in the
plaid.

Three novel kinks were sported by
one girl, says a writer in the Phila-

To begin with, her very clever
princesse dress is shirred from the hips
to the armholes. That is, the fronts
are shirred into these seams the pieces
to which they are attached fitting
without a wrinkle. The draped front
is very good for house, carriage and

With the dress is worn one of the

broad, superbly eurled plume and it
is mounted on q two-inch satin founda-

 Scott had always kept the location or rI. mine 30 secret and only one man wa, employed by him. When the mule returned Co the mine the man came out with the story. Scott was always particular to see that no one followed him when he went 70 the mine and several times drove back by 8 display of fire arms men who at tempted to follow him.
 In any ease the secret of the won derfu] mine is now probably out. Scott himself always said simply that there wa, enough for him, but after spending several months uJ the mine he would go 60 New York and other. eastern cities and spend money with the utmost abandon.
