Violet may have abdicated momen-
tarily as the queen of spring colors,
but it has established a regency in
mauve, which Is shown In a number
of most graceful hats for dressy wear.
The design sketched here Is d modified
French sailor, with the crown partly
sunken into the graduated brim. The
mass of trimming is arranged at the
back Of the hat, although a band of
shaded mauve ribbon borders the edge.
Exquisite pansies i'm all the shades of
mauve and violet, with touches of vel
low, literally cover the back, where the
brim is pushed up very high.
Paris has smiled its approval upon
the small hat, and the small hat ii
must be. There is no set rule gov
erning the correct shape. for one is at
liberty to twist the hat into any form
that meets the demand for original,
piquante beauty. All of the smart
shapes lend themselves to delightful
trimming, the most of which Is massed
at the back, where the brim is upturned.
| Ribbon Is a smart trimming for hats
of all kinds, and on some of the late
models no less than ten yards are used
In rcsettes and bows, effectively group
ed ABOVE and beneath the brim, with
out any supplementary trimming.

Fashion Notes.

Those new belts of gray snakeskin
are just the thing to wear with gray
skirts.
New and particularly ferocious look
ing hatpins are twisted spirally like
a screw.
Some charmingly practical little
frocks are being made up out of the
thin silks.
The ARREST hair combs are big but
terfiies of real tortoise shell, mounted
on two prongs.
In the way of jackets the prettiest
thing is the embroidered lined Elton
with its small puffy sleeves.
The latest in wells is the "firtatioE,''
three yards long, made of washable
chiffon and w%ondrously hand painted on
the ends.
One of the advantages of the cor
selet skirt is that when the jacket is
removed it Is far more complete than
the usual skirt and blouse.
The tailor gown will have sleeves
that will not have much fullness and
will be very long and rather tight from
elbow to wrist. The sleeve will not be
too severe.

Marrying a Man to Reform Him.

Marryfng a Man to reform Him.
Shat love which is akin to pity is
responsible for some of the most un-
happy alliances, and If a woman places
any value upon her future happiness
she will not undertake that most dis
heartening, dangerous and impossible
of tasks, the reformation of a man by
marriage.
How Ofen one hears the remark Per-
haps when So-and-So is married he
will settle down and reform. 1t is a
take a oma can make is that her
love will change a mans nature from
bad to good, turn a drunkard into a
temperate man or make an idle one in
dustrious.
The delusion is q very old n /
do not assert, say a woman writer,
that q man of loose principles is abso
lutely irreclaimable under the influence
of a good woman, but if / were a girl
again, and a dissolute lover for whom
1 cared came to me promising amend
ment and reform if only l would marry
him, l would say: Come to me in
Twelve months time with proofs of
reformation.
Frequently a girl, believing in an in
temperate lover as he believes in him
self, goes to the altar with him, and
the vow are spoken which bind them
together for better or worse. Perhaps
his past is not hopelessly bad, and his
love for the girl who has taken his
name is u~ndeniably sincere. Yet against
the advice of parents n experienced
friends she marries him, filed with the
belief that her husbands weak or evil
past Is closed forever, ranks to the
influence she alone can WELD for his
good
For a time his new-found happiness
keeps the husband true to his promise
but only for a time. The novelty of
marriage wears off, and presently the
man to whom she has pledged her life
and happiness is slipping back into his
old courses; imperceptfbly at first, then
openly n for all the world to see.
1t is a terrible moment for the young
wife when her eyes are opened to the
futility of her great sacrifice.
RESPONSIVENESS, appeals to his better
nature, prove effectual for but a little
while longer. The momentary stiffen.
ing of moral courage his marriage gave
him a few months ago is gone. At first
ashamed, he does his best to conceal
his weakness. but he speedily gets over
this stage. He feels that he has moth
ing to lose by his wife's disapproval
of his behavior, and the love upon which
he onc set so high a value has lost
the efficacy it possessed for him In the
counting days.
A young man addicted to betting will
promise his sweetheart that il she viii
say Eyes" to his pleading he will shun
gambling henceforth. She consents, and
while her love is fresh and novel he
keeps his pledge. Then the old fever
gets possession of him again with the
advent Of some big race. and the rest
now that he has forfeited her esteem
follows.

CHAPTER xTu

Frere had gone on a brief fishing ex-
petition. At last a pere1nptory signal
warned him. 1t was the sound of a INNS
xet fred on board the brig. Mr.. Bates
was getting impatient. and with a scowl
Frere drew up his lines, and ordered the
two soldiers to pull for the vessel.
The Osprey yet sat m~otionless on the
water. and her bare masts gave no sign
Of making sail. To the soldiers, pulling
with their backs to her. the musket-shot
seemed the most ordinary occurrence in
the world Suddenly, however, they mo-

Osprey. had observed a peculiar appear

emily the report of another musket-shot

dark fell from the side of the vessel
into the water. Frere, with mingled
alarm and indignation, sprung to his
feet, and, shading his eyes with his hand,
looked toward the brig. The soldiers.
resing on their oars, initiated his ges-
ture. and the whale-boat, thus thrown
out Of trim, rocked from side to side
dangerously. A moments anxious pause,
and then another musket-shot, followed
by a woman's shrill scream, explained
all. The prisoners had seized the brig.
"Give way. cried Frere. pale with rage
and apprehension, and the soldiers, real

sotion, forced the heavy whale-boat
through the water as fast as the one
miserable pair of oars could take her.

sense Of false security, had o N below
