There are peculiarities of u Eng

exhibits. Did you ever notice how
many English words are formed by
simply dropping alternate letters-for
example, wheat, heat, eat, at; sham.

ale, and scores Of others?
Again, we have in our mother tongue
two words which, joined together,
make a distinct word Of an entirely
different meaning, just as a single
word disjolnted does. Take the words
"since" and rely" or the separate
word sincerely" To illustrate:

along the river and came back at night
with some added grace from natures

rest and health to the little parenthesis
In the country that called itself a town.
She got q good deal besides these gifts.
The two men that were happy enough
to live In the same house with Miss
Latch were far better aware Of her
gains than she was herself.
Mrs. Redding kept the house. She
had only a few guests. Her son Tom
protested against those, so far as the
principle went. But when the practice
happened to include Thlsbe Latch he
began TO persuade himself that perhaps
1t was better for his mother to have
something that would interest her and
keep her from being lonely. as she had
been since his fathers death. Miss
Latch was a schoolteacher, but no one

The red men Of the west have many
curious legends concerning the rivers,
lakes and mountains of that region.
none more weird than that which is
told concerning Rock lake. Washing
ton. Since time out of memory the
Indian tribes Of that vicinity believed
the lake to be inhabited by a sea o
ster which never grows old and whose
chief diet Is Indian flesh. According
to the legend, no Indian ever entered
its waters and returned therefrom
alive. no matter whether the rash act
was committed by approaching its mar
gin for a drink, for a plunge and a
swim or for a III ride upon its
placid bosom. All of the Indians of
the northwest know Of the terrors OF
Rock lake, and each and every one
would prefer death with a poisoned ar
row rather than to touch its waters.
The last Rock lake horror, according
to the legend. was in 1858, when Il
whole band of noble red men were
sent to the happy hunting grounds by
the monster.

ular chair fascinated her. She looked
at the empty rocker. aud as the twi-
light deepened and the street lamp was
lighted she could fancy that the shad-
DIV which the pillar threw on its high
back was Tom.
Two days later, instead of leaving by
the front door, Tom came around from
the side of the house. In one hand be
held a little bunch OF pansies. He
handed them over the rail of the porch,
his hat in his other hand, without a

She also remembered that the poet
Keats was an a~pothecary's prentice.
The conversation OF Carlton Cross be-
came less and less interesting. Being
no lover of flowers himself. it did not
occur to him that the little velvet leaves
were his rivals.
When Tom came home that night he
found Miss Latch on the porch. She
was still holding the pansies In her
hands. He walked to the chair beside
her.

GOWNS FOR TRAVELLING.
A Three-Piece Suit of Gun-Metal Silk and Mohair Very Attractive
 and Also Practical.

Three-piece suits are always suitable for sightseeing. Thin silk blouses matching in color the rest of the cos- tune are convenient, in that they do not require constant laundering. Worn with fine lingerie sets, especially with the high cuffs so much in vogue, these blouses are very modish and becoming. A gun-metal mohair, with a raised fig- ure, made a very stylish three-piece suit. The skirt was box-plaited, and quite severely stitched, and the sim pie little Eton jacket was relieved from plainness only by the beautiful lingerie collar which fell over the | shoulders and down the front. The jacket was closed to the waist line with fastenings of black braid, and the folded girdle of the material was also fastened with braid ornaments. The blouse was of gun-metal radium silk, and was heart-shaped in front, with a guimpe to match the coat col lar. The blouse was shirred on heavy cords on the shoulders, and was very full over the bust. The full sleeves were longer than the jacket sleeves, and were decorated with high white cuffs like the collar and guimpe.

Cash mere is the ideal material for de- signs using drapery. being very pliable, and yet very substantial A lovely model in tobaeco-brown was perhaps a little elaborate for a utility gown, but was too attractive to pass over. The skirt was full and plain. and was rather longer than walking gowns usu- ally are. It barely escaped the ground, and would have to be held up wherever the ground was wet or dusty. The length was made necessary, from the aesthetic point of view, on account of the length of the redingote. which reached within eight inches of the hem. The skirt of the redingote was full and plain. and all met in the front. The points were rounded. which gave a more open effect. but the general effect was of a double skirt The blouse part of the redingote was full, and rather loose in effect.
