In padding down the Squatook Riv-
er, in New Brunswick, one of party
of hunters had an experience which
afforded much amusement to his COM
panions. In Around the Campfire"
c. G.. d. Roberts tells the story:
The last few miles of the Squatook
River were easy padding, save that
here and there a fallen tree was in
the way. In passing these obstacles
Stranion proved unlucky. His canoe
led the procession, with himself stand
ing erect, alert, pole in hand, in the
stern, while Queerman sat lazily in. the
bow.
At length we saw ahead of us tree
trunk stretching across the channel.
By ducking our heads Down to the
gunwales there was room to pass I'M
der it. But Stranion tried a piece OF
gymnastics, like a circus rider jump
ing through hoop. He attempted to
step over the trunk while the canoe
was passing under it. In this he part
" succeeded. He got one foot over,
safely in the canoe. But as for the
other--well, q malicious little project
ing branch took hold of it by the moe
casin. and held on with the innate per-
tiaacity of inanimate things. The
canoe wouldn't wait, so Stranion re-
manned behind with his captive foot
He dropped head first into the water,
whence we rescued him.
The next time we came to an OBJ
struction of this kind Stranion did not
try TO step over it. He stopped to
go under it. But another malicious
branch now came TO the front. The
branch was long. strong and sharp. 1t
reached down. seized the back of
Stranions shirt, and almost dragged
him out of the canoe. Failing in this,
for Stranion's blood was up, 1t ripped
the shirt open, and plowed a long red
furrow down his back.

FASHION NOTES.
:::.::..:::::;;;;:.:::::::::::.::

Broderie anglaise appears on the
new parasols.
French cravats of white kid, EN-
broidered in colors, are new.
Sunshades of heavy linen bid fail
to be popular with the summer girl.
Elastic belts covered with velvet are
about the closest fitting to be had.
Deep, circular collars and cuffs OF
anticipated lawn are modish and
launder well.
Some of the embroidered evening
wraps rival Joseph's coat for diversity
of coloring.
Truly astonishing is the diversity in
sleeves. Your choice depends only on
your fancy.
The girl who sports an opera cloak
around in daylight is an occasional
incongruity.
In the wake of the elbow sleeve
come long silk gloves in elbow length
finished like kid.
Tie real old fashioned little sailor
hat comes in white with a bunch OF
flowers at the left front
Certain exquisite little French
blouses are very simply made, with
only tiny tucks and lace edging.
A soft felt hat with a bunch of pea
cock feathers stuck jauntily through
the band is smart for morning.
The polo" hat is a little box tur-
ban, merely a crown, with a plume OF
flower cluster at the side.
A buff silk petticoat with lots OF
little black lace ruffles put on with
wide black velvet bands is quaint.
A hat to finish the season can be
had now for that infinitesimal sum OF
money known as a mere song.
The skirts of the latest models fiji
snugly over the hips, devices for at
tanning this end being innumerable.
Half-long coats of heavy renaissance
and guipure laces are to be greatly in
vogue with the ornately dressed.
A new dotted net, the dots so heavy
as to give the impression of little balls
comes in white, black and evening
shades.
A dainty garniture for an evening
corsage is made of white marguerites
and there is a head ornament to
match.
The girl who wants to look natty in
the spring will get herself together q
white coat and skirt suit, either cloth
or corduroy.

Platonic Friendships.

When a young man and woman,
fancy-free and unfettered, become
really good friends, it is very delight
full to both; but there is always the
very strong probability that friendship
may develop into love. If the love be
on both sides, and there be no obstacle
to marriage, then nothing could be
happier; but, unfortunately, platonic
friendships have way of ending in
a ones sided love affair which is in
variably the cause of much pain and
sorrow to one, and sometimes to both,
of the erstwhile good comrades.
But" you may say, friendship
pure and simple, between man and
woman, is so delightful a thing-isn't
it worth some risk?"
Not the risk of an unrequited, hope
less love, and therefore platonic friend
ships should not be INDUCED in by
either man or woman till they are
well on the shady side of thirty. For
younger people the risks are so grave
that they will be wiser to content
themselves with the less exciting
friendship of their own sex till the
time comes when the friend is found
who, it is hoped. will become he part
ner and companion for life.

Pure olive oil is of the greatest val

If the nose is oily or shiny use Dor

Best Known Unmarried Man of To-day
Is Cndoattedly Henry James.

Best IN nOwp u Wan To-Day
Is Undoubtedly Henry James.
Literature has furnished a long
string of names to the list of eminent
bachelors. Possibly the best known
unmarried man of letters to-day is
Henry James, the novelist
He maintains stoutly that the artist,
no matter what the medium of his ex-
preston, should remain single, on the
ground that the petty cares and carp
ings of domestic life tend to wear on
delicately adjusted nerves and exhaust
the mental fiber of genius, whether it's
possessor be a painter of pictures, a
worker in words, a modeler of statues,
a composer of music, a singer or one
who amuses the people from the stage.
John Greenleaf Whittier was a
bachelor, though not from the same
cause as the brilliant fiction writer
mentioned. Whittier was a great adj
mirer of the married state, it is said,
and in his boyhood had a blue-eyed,
red-cheeked New England girl for his
sweetheart
Together they went to school as
children and when they grew to
youths estate he told her the story
most girls like to hear. She heard it
gladly, too, but he was poor and a
poet and love must wait for recogni-
ton. She promised, but waiting Is
wearisone; before recognition came to
the young verse-maker she forgot him
as lover and was married to some
one else.
The bachelorhood of Sir Isaac New
ton was a puzzle to some of his con-
temporaries, but others knew he re-
manned single solely on account Of
his mother He thought the world of
her and her affection for him was I'M
bounded, but her maternal love was
married by jealousy, and whenever her
son thought of marriage or evinced a
passing interest in a pretty face she
wept and wrung her hands and man
aged somehow to check true loves
course. He finally told her he would
give up all notion of marriage as long
as she lived. After her death he found
himself too deeply absorbed in his sci
entific work and too mature to think
Of matrimony.
