my twelve years as an automobile driver, in races of the first order there have been, so far as my information and ex- per1ence go, only three fatalities among the expert drivers of the world. Of course the danger is primarily greater to the driver in a big race than under ordinary circumstances, and obviously so, but his training and condition, mental and physi- cal are such as to reduce tragic possi- bilitles to a very minimum. On the other hand, tires that run true at twenty miles an hour may and do burst at the pres sure of sixty or seventy miles. Axles that are rigid at low gears may and do snap like brittle glass when the race is on Stones surface impediments that mere ly jostle the driver in his car going at ordinary speed make @ somersaulting au- tomobile when 1t is doing ninety miles an hour. Ruts that would only stop machine going slowly upset one going very rapidly. Brakes may fall of per forming their duty, a carburetter may explode or one of the multiple accidents may happen in the best regulated ma chine with disastrous consequence-and to that extent the .4lver must unques- tionably have and hold his life in his hand when mounting his car for a great rapa

 Madame said the Egyptian,

 70, well, perhaps l really don't want it at all," she said. T am not Salome and I do not look like Cleopotra. l can not wear those things unless had barges and floating gardens" and she turned from the Nile-colored stones in their dull silvered setting to a mass of loose stones which she said she woudl have set to suit her own fancy.
 Loose stones may be bought at reason
 
 that they are less expensive than when , bought elsewhere. The smallest turquoise sells for 35 cents, but 1t Is not always genuine, and if you select with care, the larger stones, there will not be much ad- vantage in getting them from these curio shops. A turquoise stone which curio dealer will sell for 50 cents is so small and insignificant looking that they are hardly worth setting in even the little ''stretcher" pins that you find in the regular shops. But some of the loose stones that you may buy from these for eign little shops are exquisite and you may have them set in to designs distinc- tive and artistic Trays piled with loose stones, rubies, eneralds, saffires, topaz, are to be seen in the curio shops, pearls, rare little eameos, rich mosaic designs, | curious inlaid things, carved worries, a
 wealth of interesting things that are sup posed to come from foreign countries. | Many women prefer buying loose stones | and having them set into dog collars, | necklaces and ornaments for the hair, | but now and then it Is possible to find | in the curo shops rare and genuine stones | in old settings that can hardly be re- produced today. These old settings are | costly and to the eyes of the collector | and the connoisseur they have value l far beyond their instrinsic worth. The cameos that age cannot wither and | which are so much worn today are seen l on all brooches no larger than an average opal. The large cameos are not as much in vogue, but the curio dealer will sell them at exhorbitant prices.

THE CHILDREN OF
 THE CONFEDERACY.

By Louise Clarke-Pyrnelle.
 The following thoughts were suggested by the chapter of the Children of the Con- federacy recently formed by Mrs. Annie Southern Tardy and named for Gen. Joe Wheeler.
 Years have come and years have gone Since that sad April day Proclaimed through all the stricken south The defeat of Its ranks of gray. And we who were but children then, In that long, long ago, Can ne'er forget the awful throes or a nation in It's woe. And the love we bore to Dixie then, We bear to her now, I ween; Though the sea of time, with its waves of
 care
 Have rolled and surged between. And. as it's pillows bear us on, There comes the sad'nng thought. When we are dead. who loved '"rhe
 Cause"
 Will It's glories be forgot? Forgot? An, no. The answer comes From a noble patriot band, Of southern children, pledged to save The glory of Dixie's land. They will tell of the deeds of valor That heroes of the south have done, Tell of the patient god-like struggle, Tell of the glorious victories won. Tell of the wealth given freely gladly, Of the lives swept away in those years
 of strife Tell of the earnest southern woman In her immolated life. To children's children will they tell 1t With zealous love profound, Tell of the deeds that have made the
 southland
 Hallowed and historic ground. Oh. ye children of my own land, Sacred is the vow you've made; High and noble is It's purpose, Holy is your grand Crusade" Crusade 'gainst sickness, want and sor1
 row, In the cause of the few who still re
 main,
 Crusade against the silent menace Of obivion's rusty chain. Fall in ranks! ye young crusaders, From Potomac to the Mexic shore, And tell the fame of Dixie's glory Der and OCT forever more

CURIO SHOPS AND FOREIGN BAZARS ARE
 PLACES OF INTEREST IN THE FAR SOUTH

gold and silver, hat pints ornamented with the Spanish coat of arms, the color ings worked out in every detail, belt buckles encrusted with old jewels, every thing oddly different from things 10 pc seen in a modern shop
 The eurio dealer will tell you the his- tory of some of thess marvellous old things and will try to convince you that the dog collar of dull gold is the only one in the world, that the bracelet or old silver with the dull green setting has value peculiarly dear to the conolccleur
 He has no conscience when he recognizes the American woman collector, but While she Is more often imposed upon than otherwise by the unscruplous dealer she does not select her treasures indlscrlm- inately She is often to be seen in the curio shop, and the little foreign bazars are extensively patron1zed by the Amer ican woman. But they are oftenumes delusion and a snare, for all their out ward attractiveness and alluring charm
 In the Persian barzars in the far south the interiors are hung with gorgeous laces and embroidered coverings of every description. Scarfs, heavy with silver tracery, silken shawls covered with elao- crate designs and heavily fringed, robes soft, silky, frequently their fancltul col ors, shopworn, representing the ayes or the Orient, a varied and ill-seleeted as- sortment, smelly, tawdry looking, put with the the twadriness that goes With the decadence of countries and speaks Of glories that are past. Zephyred things hang about you, the very atmosphere or the east envelopes you, eVeryWhere the eye falls are tangible things of the Syrian woman, something wholly apart rom American civilization, and every indrawn breath is perfumed with curious, coin- polling scents. |
 At the doorways of the Italian shops are the heavy types, the blending of the Neapoltan with American bruskiness, combination not to be desired even Tor business purposes A fat coarse looking Italian showed me some prints by for- elgn artists, some of his own land, and following the advice of a sage in the
 matter of dealing with thes curio and collector folk, l feigned indifference. Take them. madame;" he exclaimed, and almost threw group of prints at my head.
 But" I said, q am not going to take them at that price," | He flew into a perfect rage.
 Madame" he said, In broken English, 1 you are like the rest of the American women You think to come back to my l shop tomorrow-next week-and l will sell cheap. l know the American She thinks herself--well she thinks she can do what she pleases with us-get things for a-for nothing madame" He broke off impati- ently. How much longer do you expect me to stay here at this one placer he asked. Tomorrow I may go. You come here to get your prints, but he shrugged his shoulders expresisvely. well" l said, there is one thing you have not learned about the American woman. She does not buy anything until she gets good and ready"
 Madame" he said, q will show you anything in my shop. You buy when you please. I show you what you want
