over her. Then Mrs. Boffin confessed that it had all been a trick played on Bella to school her and discipline her, develop her better self and bring about her marriage.
 Mrs. Boffin, going into Rokesmith's room on the day Bella had refused him. had seen him sitting so like the little John Harmon she used to know, lone- ly and sad. that in that moment she had recognized at once who he really was and fai1ted dead away. Mir. Boffin. coming to her assistance, had recog- nized him. too, and the rest had been a play, though Mir. Boffin had acted his part so well that his good wife used to cry over IL.
 MT. Wegg, coming around to have his settlement with Mr. Boffin soon after, found John with the Golden Dustman.
 Now, you seoundrel," said Johne when Wegg had been more than usually insolent, I'll tell you what was in that Dutch bottle you charged up to Mir. Boffin. It was a will dated year later than the one you found. And ic gave all of my fathers property, with- out condition or reserve. to Mir. BocrIn. am in possession of that properxy. through the munifioence of Mir. Boffin. Now. you ungratefuI hound, get out and never let me see you again"
 So that ended Wegg, and as for the other characters in the story they lived happily ever afterward. and John gave Eugene Wrayburn all his law business and Eugene really went to work and shook off boredom.

ART 0F BUsAuEl||| :
lREMARkAsLE DRAWINGS fcSieso' ]. ON ROCKS IN souTH AsHtc
Among . People Very Low h elso 2, Scale of civilization Are Fcuna !, Evidences of ArtlstIc I Ability. l

It would be harder to Ind m AM. rican tribe lower in the scale of civil ization than the dwarfed bushmen of the southern part of the dark conti-| nent, and yet evidences of an artistic sense and ability have been found among them which are most astonish.8 ing. and justifies modern anthropology in its claim that even in apparently primitive tribes there exists culture not necessarily inferior. to our own though differing from 1t. The con- ditions under which the bushmen live are almost bestial, and yet they have covered the smooth cliffs and tho walls of their caves with pafntings and etchings which far surpass in artistic excellence the work of any other race of so primitive characters and which will remain as monuments to this remarkable people long after its last member shall have per. ished.
 These pictures are of two kinds true paintings made with ochres and very similar engraved drawings made by striking the smooth rock wall with a sharp flint. The artist, 1t Is as.' serted, simply holds the stone in his fist and so makes one mark after an.I other. To produce such results by5l such a method requires marvellous steadiness of hand \ The finest gems of bushmen painte' ing are represented by accurate copS ies in the possession of Mss Lucy, c. Lloyd, the sister-in-law of the late Dr. Bleek, whose studies of the bush- men are celebrated. There is an os- trich-stalking scene, which appears tol represent the highest possible achieve ment of primitive art. The i've os- triches are depicted with astonishing correctness of drawing and fidelity to- nature in style resembling that of the greatest of Japanese artists. Tho birds are varied in coloring and atti- tude, but all turn their heads in cu- riosity toward the strange fowl at the right, which the arm and bow proclaim to be bushman disguised as an ostrich.
 Equally realistic are the elands fn another painting, though the lions shown in pursuit of them are very in- ferior.
 A large and very remarkable paint ing represents Kaffrs attacking bush- men cattle raiders. The Kafars arc tall and black, and they carry spears and shields, while the small. light colored bushmeu are armed with bows and arrows.
 Such are the artistic productions of race which many persons are tempt ed to regard rather as connecting link with the anthropoid apes than

ing of a deliberate invitation to the higher powers to shower ill-luck upon the innocent young couple. But such a case of inhumanity on the part of relatives has hardly ever been known in either of the islands.
 Our two illustrations are of native actors and dancers. The girls belong to Bali and the masked men to Java. The Balinese danseuses like to spend money lavishly on their head orna. ments, which are veritable works of art in gold and silver, studded with fine gems. They are also considered more graceful in the manipulation of their "slendang" or sash, without which a dancer never performs, than their sisters on the other island. The dance itself Is, however, nothing more than taking a few tiny steps back wards and forwards. But it's actual flnesse lies in the movements of the hands, arms and body, as each ex-

TO MAKE HER TALLER,
The Kind of Clothes Little Woman Ought to Wear. ,

Just back from Paris the tiny mite of woman was airing her views on clothes:
 The American dressmaker takes too little account of height but lays all the stress on weight" she said. Her clients are apt to be divided into two classes-stout and slender. The slender little woman of i've feet gets about the same treatment at her hands as the slender young Amazon of five feet seven or eight.
 "A maline bow at the back of the neck Is wonderful improver to little persons-it adds height marvelously.
 Then there is the shoulder: Feel of my shoulder seam. It corresponds exactly with my shoulder line, but let 1t be fraction Of an inch too long and l am no longer petite, but a dwarf.
 Heavy, coarse materials are only for the tall. Fine, smooth surfaces are for us. And, there is this about the skirt: Fitness should begin at the hip, not below it-otherwise, the skirt becomes a mere founce instead of thing of lines. Between the waist line and the hips the skirt should be perfectly fitted
 "The hat for a small person is more becoming if it matches the up permost part of the costume. If the bodice is tint, the hat should be of the same complexion. In the case of very small woman, waist and skirt of different tones or colors are not to be thought of. Even the gloves do their part in making or marring the picture. White ones with dark gowns dwarf the height, and so. too, do capes and other fussy shoulder ar engagements. Trimmed skirts and braided effects are also ruled out"

sNUGNess IN NEW GOWNS.
Triansss the Hall Mark of Many
 smartest Tub Gowns.

A noticeable snugness and trigness is the hall mark of many of the smart est tub gowns. The skirts are simply treated and their length width are un- broken, except for a band of needle work above the hem or few tucks in . group. The top of the skirt is mounted with slight gathering front ward-something more across the back. The bodice, while gathered. admits of no outward fullness, be- cause the material is drawn into the figure lines so snugly and belted. A bolero of the same fabric, short and very close-fitting, embraces the bust and gives an excellent effect upon the figure. simple as 1t is.
 There is tailor suggestion about ell this, but the handwork in finish takes away the severity somewhat, as the edge of the entire bolero is en- broidered by hand. So is the high chemisette and stock and the turned. over fiat cuffs Cf the elbow sleeve. It requires little imagination to fancy how becoming such a gown may be with the bodice belted in with rose pink ribbon and single pink rose of great beauty fastened to the corsage just where the bolero meets.
 A straw hat. a cluster of roses and some tulle, fresh white gloves and shoes and white embroidered para sol. coupled with youth and beauty, make as captivating picture as may be found on the Florida riviera.

A faultless coiffure. without any doubt whatever. is sine qua non of the modern elegante's equipment. And the lack of 1t can spoil the daintiest toilette. The textures of the hair, its sheen and its smoothness of arrange ment are the essentials. Careful treatment, the delicate use of brillian- tine. and the wearing of an invisible net over careful waves can achieve all these essentials.

press some poetical emotion appealing to the natives. The native actors of Java are anything but graceful in their stiff movements, particularly when they wear those curious looking masks to hide their features. But they are generally accompanied by a prompter. and as each performance usually deals with some heroic deeds of their ancestors. whose traditional costume the actors adopt, even they are capable of evoking feelings of ec- stasy and admiration amongst the on- lockers.
