HARRY AND EvELYN.

The descriptive writer's are back on
the job again, and for several weeks
to come newspaper readers may ex-
pect another giant dose of the style of
literature that came in with the first
Thaw trial. went out again as sudden
ly as it came in, and is now back as
the second trial progresses. Of course
these literary geniuses are little
rusty after their long rest, and can
not be expected to get right back into
the swing of it in day, but they are
doing pretty well. as witness this
touching description of Tnaws APP
pearance as he came into the court
room:
Thaw seemed ordinary-very ordi-
nary. The lines of dissipation have
faded from his face, leaving it gray
and cold, like a cast-iron stove with
out heat. It is sullen, too. His nails
were channeied and long, his fingers
knotted and spatulated, his thumbs
fiat, like the tails of beavers, his hair
all abroad and his forehead low and
round.
After comparing Thaw's face to an
air tight heater and touchingly refer
ring to the condition of his finger
nails, the writer thought that would
do Mr. Thaw, so he transferred his
ttention to Evelyn. He said
Not a word did Evelyn Thaw lose of
these preliminary turns of the screw.
She seemed far better able to bear the
ordeal of trial now than a year ago.
Her cheeks have taken on pink
tinge. Her eyes were more lustrous.
II Save in profile she seemed of the
earth earthly. Here, however, she was
spirituelle. The head, the pure facial
contour and the smooth white throat
of one Of the Gothic race.
Then back to Thaw for moment:
He smiled cheerily to his wife,
whose rather large teeth flashed
Whitley in response. On top of Thaw's
head there was queer whirl of hair
that looked like shaving brush and
which greatly interested Mrs. Thaw.
And again turning attention to the
beautiful Evelyn:
Evelyn Thaw was also frozen into
kinder or more considerate subject
for the artist.
She would lean forward in the fami-
liar attitude Of her photograph and
would sit stock still for four or five
minutes. Then would come another
pose equally as perfect and consider
ate. Sometimes her eyes would roam
ceilingward in a seraphic stare that
was fine thing for the crayon men.
Right well did she understand the
angles of light and reflection.
There Is only one redeeming feature
in the situation. You don't have to
read it if you don't want to-.

Isn't it possible that the doctor has
