1t is natural that comparison should in

artist who has given US pictures of Japanese
scenery Pierre Lott. and Lafcado Hearn. They
possess in common the power OF delicate suggC s.
ton and magical vagueness; a single weird O
line gives atmosphere and color. while detail is
blurred and effaCed in the finished whole. 1t is
in the deeper appreciation of the stronger. sub

Hearn infinitely SurpaSses the F'renchman; the
deals with the picturesque eXternals Of the
surface of life, the other catches the spirit of

is always seated demure, happy, and sometimes
pretty under her marriage veil, in a corner of
the conveyance and the relatives and invited

Even the octroi officials smile benignly upon
such parties, and may even abate somewhat the
rigor of their inspection. But one Saturday an
octroi officer. whose post had been changed a
few days before, thought that he recognized a
passing wedding party as one he had seen enter
by another gate a week previously. The bride
was the same and also. he thought, the groom,
although a Frenchman pays small heed to the
groom if the bride be within the zone of vision.
The intervening time seemed rather short for
the death and burial of husband number one,
and for the cOurtship. acceptance and conclusion
of the nuptial arrangements of his successor, II
the lucky then passing had married the
widow. Accordingly word of caution was sent
round to the various octroi posts and on the
following Saturday the same party was stopped.
The only unconcerned member was the bride.
She retained her corner; a wife With a frozen
smile. Under the bridal veil the damask cheek

walls stood among the debris. He made over
lures for the purchase of the structure. The
contractor was most anxious to sell, and stated
as his chief reason that while his yard only

article thither would cost him 10 francs on ac-

though trivial in itself, is important as proof
Of the never absent need of reckoning with the
octroi in the most ordinary transactions within
areas divided by octroi barriers but CONNER
