Most OF our modern plays deal
with the sO-calicd love of two men

WHAT THE TEACHER DID.
Part of Programme Embarrassing u
Bashful Young Man.

Here is story that is being told on
nice young man who teaches a Sun
day school class in North Baltimore.
1t has been told on other young men
before, and there is strong probable
ity that 1t never happened at all to this
particular young man, but his friends
have attached the story to him, and,
much to his discontinue, he must bear
1t. In the first place, he Is very bash
tui, and the request made by the Sun
day school superintendent that he
take class of young ladies'. who had
Just lost their previous teacher, was
disturbing enough. The previous teach
er had been charming woman, and
her loss was due to marriage with
Washington man. The class of ten
charming young ladies' waited while
the young man was being brought
from the other side of the room, where
he had been the presiding genius of
a class of small boys. This is Mr.. T.,
ladies'. announced the superintend-
ent. He has consented to become your
teacher. and | am sure he will find
the position most delightful one"
Surely, surely" gushed Mr.. T. Il
shall be charmed, perfectly charmed"
and then us the superintendent moved
away. leaving him bashful, not to say
scared. he rushed into his duties at
once-"and now. ladies'. if you will
tell me what your former teacher al
ways did first we will try carrying out
the same program" There was few
moments silence then a mort looking
young miss, casting down her glances
most effectively, purred: We'll, If you
really want to do that way. Miss Grace
always kissed us good morning." This
may or may not be true. but the
young man declares the people who
are telling it are mean.

SYNOPSIS.

Burton II. Barnes. n wealthy American
touring Corsica. rcscues the young Eng
iish lieutenant, Edward Gerard Anstruth-
er. and his Corsican bride, Marina,
daughter of the Paolis. from the muir
derous vendetta. understanding that his
reward is to be the hand OF the girl he
loves. Enid Anstruther, sister OF the Eng
lish lieutenant. The four fly from AIac-
clio 20 Marscilles on board the French
steamer Constantine. The vendetta pur-
sues and as the quartet are about to
board the train for London at Marseilles.
Marina is handed mysterious note
which causes her to collapse and necessi-
tates postponement OF the journey.
Barnes gets part OF the mysterious note
and receives letters which inform him
that he is marked by the vendetta. He
employs American detective and plans
TO beat the vendetta at their own game.
For the purpose of securing the safety
of the women Barnes arranges to have
Lady ClIartris lease secluded villa at
Nice to which the party is to be taken
in yacht. Suspicion is created that
Marina is in league with the Corsicans.
A man, believed to be Corregio Danella,
is seen passing the house and Marina Is
thought to have given him a sign. Ma
rina refuses to explain to Barnes which
fact adds to his latent suspicious. Barnes
plans for the safety of the party are
learned by the Corsicans. The carriage
carrying their party to the local landing
is followed by two men.

entrance Edwin places both his bride
and his sister in the carriage and seats
himself in front of them, looking as
carefully to the rear as If he expected
a white squall. Barnes springs into
the barouche, whispers some orders to
the driver and they roll away.
Gazing on the carriage as 1t rolls

self: "Cracly, | was scared Burton

again conceitedly exulting in my sue
cessful knack of prophecy. You may
be deceived in the cost of coat and
skirt, but the frills are of more tell

are made of fine muslin or batiste
and which of mercerized lawn or any
of the cheaper sort of fabrics which
can be called upon to do such serv-

very superior specimen has a
hand-embroidered center plait, fianked
on either side with lace frill; and
very attractive model has an insertion
of lace down the center of the front,
plated lawn frfll on either side being
edged with lace, while the collar band
is of transparent lace. and the base
of this is finished with a narrow black
tie.
Doubtless we shall suffer consider
ably from the Vaccinations of the in
experienced or willfully wicked wash
erwoman, and those who are going
to indulge themselves in frills of fine
quality had best set about 1t at once

And having discovered her, teach her
how not to starch.
1t seems quite right and proper that
these dainty-laced decorations of
fuckers and rulings should accom-
pany the beaver and panne hats,
trimmed with feathers and well allied
to velvet gowns, they may pass for

early days of the century brave ar

l confess myself much in love with
the notion of the plain dress which
looks simple, with an elaborate shirt
and frillings and ruffies, and crowded
with a very expensive hat with beau
tiful feathers upon it. And, talking
of beautiful feathers. l would refer
once more to those new Celebrations
of the ostrich feather
The manufacturers have contrived
now to extend the length of their
fronds, so that they have shaggy
appearance, and they are as delight
fully attractive as novel. Indeed, by
the side of them the ordinary ostrich
feather, even If 1t be of very good
quality, seems quite uninteresting.
Sometimes these feathers are
shaded, two dark colors being most
successfully used, such as peacock
blue and brown. and two tones of one
color will also do good service.
There is great rage for the satin
hat, and this shares favor with the hat
of silks. An excellent model which
is enjoying much favor having the
brim of white silk, bound with brown
velvet, and the crown very full and
