The Rose the Fad Of Fashion.


The War of the Roses has brok-
en- out again. Lovely woman has
assumed the rose as the sword and
buckler for her summer conquest.
The girl who aims always for the
original touch IN her hats and
gowns will like one of the new
ways Of arranging roses on
quaint little poke hat. The inn
ported hat which showed this new
ming idea was rough corn
colored straw. Its scarcity OF
trimming was one of its features.
The shape was a very fetching
poke. Soft pink ribbons were
looped about it back and front,
with the loops intertwined.
Where the hat dropped over the
ear at the left side, the loops OF
ribbon held bunch Of exquisite
pink roses and soft green foliage.
The flowers had the effect Of Just
falling off the hat and being
caught in place by the ribbon loops.
Certainly this little imported mod
ell introduces very new and very
charming trimming effect.-Grace
Margaret Gould in June Woman's
Home Companion.

Doves and Religion.

zone thing l remarked and think
worthy of notice Is that ever since
Noah's dove every religion seems to
consider the pigeon as sacred bird.
For example, every mosque swarms
with pigeons, and the same exists In
most Italian market places. The Hin
doc pundits and the old Assyrian en-
pire also have them, while Catholics
make it the emblem Of the Holy
Ghost"
Lady Burton In her account OF the
Mohammedan mystery play OF Has
san and Hosseip" says:
"Then comes the bier with Hossein's
corpse and his son sitting upon 1t sor'
rowing and embracing him and q beau
tiful white dove in the corner whose
wings are dabbled with blood. The er,

LAM i PRESENT.
How the French Author Got Big
Price For Little Poem.

FTtCb GOT -ssstO N~''ss
Francois Buloz, the founder and edl-
tor Of the famous French journal, La
Revue dcs Deux Mondes, was by no
means celebrated for his generosity to
contributors. One day shortly after
the publication of Lamartine's LES
Girondins," and while the literary
world was ringing with the fame OF it's
great author, Buloz called on him and
asked him to write an article for bis
magazine. Lamartine consented, but
stated that he could not have 1t ready
for some weeks.
Buloz, fearing that this was only an
excuse and that he would never get
the article, offered Lamartine an ad-
vance. 1t so happened that the author
was In need of 1000 francs at that
time and he 80 informed the editor,
who at once handed over the money.
Three months later he called Lamar
tines attention to the fact that the
contribution had not yet been received.
1t was toward the end Of 1S47, and the
great author was devotlng his entire
time to politics.
"While you are waiting for this ar
ticle would you care for little poem.
I have herep he asked Buloz.
He enthusiastically replied in the af-
flrmative.
Months later, when Lamartine had
become minister Of foreign affairs, Blu
loz again called upon him to remind
him of the promised contribution. =
"But you see my position" answered
the minister, "how busy am"
Buloz frowned.
"But, citizen minister, q certain
amount of money was advanced, and
the interests Of my magazine do not
permit me to-
"How much was itf''
"Four thousand francs"
Lamartine took this amount OF
money from the drawer and laid it
upon his desk.
The editor, however, looked some
what embarrassed.
"Well, what more can do for you!
You have your money"
"The fact is, owe you for small
poem"
"Oh. that's not worth mentioning!
I'll make you present of it." g.
Buloz drew himself up haughtily.
"Citizen minister, La Revue DIES
Deux Mondes does not accept pres
ents. How much do owe you?"
"Oh, we'll, If you insist" answered
Lamartine dryly MS he took up the
1000 francs and replaced them in his
drawer, 1--WE will call it square!
