Storm King.
The Highlands are not as high as
some mountains, and yet they are tall
enough to bump their heads against
the clouds. Storm King does this so
often that he has become q local ba-
rometer. Whenever be is clear the
weather will be the same, but when
the clouds gather like 4 frown on the
brow of the old mountain look for trou
BILE. This very human quality is wha:
gave his royal majesty the name of
Storm King.
Prior to that rechristening he was
called Butter hill. Irving tells how
he came by that label so much bettel
than any of the rest of us can hope to
CO that it is idle to repeat the tale. III
brief. it is that certain man, CARRYING
a firkin Of butter, was chased by In
dians. Painting his way through the
stones and underbrush to the ton Of
the mountain and finding his foes con
stantly gaining on him, he deliberately
sat down on his butter frkin and slid
down the almost perpendicular side of
the mountain to the rivers edge. This
was not making blazed trail, but a
creased trail. When he reached thc.
bottom there was nothing of the firkin
except one or two nails in the tub, but
the man escaped.
In the same way Bull hill, now
made more fashionable and dignified as
Mount Taurus, got its name from the
fact that bull jumped over the noun
tain and broke its neck. Anthony's
Nose was so called from a man whose
nasal protuberance was the wonder of
the region. Naturally enormous, this
organ had been increased by thirst
like that of Rip Van Wrinkle and by a
choice assortment of carbuncles
Storm King stands by the side of
Cro'nest and is the last of the High
lands on the west shore. At it's foot
nestles the village of Cornwall, where
n. z. Willis and E. P. Roe wrote in
the old days and where Amelia Barr
and Julian Hawthorne still sojourn
when the mood strikes them. But the
old mountain offers no such brave
front to the people in Cornwall as he
does to us across the river. Here we
look always on his rocky face as it
runs sheer to the waters edge. He is
imposing in all moods. but is most so
when crowned with Clouds Yet he
has his softer moments, and when
the sun sets over him, as it does each
night from my little platform, he be-
comes thing of glory

She watched him as he went briskly
down the beach and across to the mar

several men fishing. Here he evident

him rod and fish basket and point
across to one Of the hotels. Then she
opened the book and soon lost herself
In its contents.
But hers were not the only eyes that
had glanced curiously at the gay figure
Of the boy. He was bright dash of
color for the dull background of these
quiet New England streets, and there
was artist enough in the hearts Of the
onlookers to be pleased with the limo
vation. Once upon time his Jacket
had been brave with bright colors and
gay buttons, but time and the sun
and the rain had been at work, and
now it was an uncertain mixture Of
dull greens and yellows, and the but

Midnight.

IT'S midnight over all the sleeping land,
'Tis midnight DER the deep blue Of the
sky,
'Tis silence DER the world holds still
command,
And silence mid the stars is throned on
high.
There is no sound save that 4 gentle
ringing
Is ever creeping in upon my ear,
As If the soul in growing things vera
singing
Or elf1and bells were Ginning far and
Clear;
There is no sound save that from dark
blue lining
The stars in points of gold beam 81
lently
And that their tender light. serenelv
shining,
Is sinking on my heart like melody,
AS though from out some realm beyond
our knowing
A music on my soul were sweetly flowing.

The Man Who Couldn't Stand the
Quiet.

1t is strange what city life will do to
some people. For example, friend
of mine wanted to live with nature
and rented cottage about a mile or
two from the river on the other side of
Mount Taurus. His enthusiasm before
going out to his earthly paradise was
Of the etfervescent variety. He could
not talk for two consecutive minutes
without dragging in some reference
to it.
He stayed in that cottage exactly
one night. The next morning he had
a wild look in his eyes, and nothing
could hold him from Broadway and
his tucked in fiat in the side of cliff
at One Hundred and Umpty-umpth
street. No more Of nature for him
Nor would he even talk about it. The
thing was like skeleton in q closet,
too horrible for the publicity Of con-
versation.
1t was six months before l could get
him to take me into his confidence
Then the grewsome secret came out.
He couldn't stand the quiet. He was
so used to the discordant din Of his
dear Manhattan that the sweet silence
of nature was like nightmare. No
one could describe the terror Of that
one night on the hillside. In vain he
listened for the musical sounds Of the
IL" trains, for the satisfying click Of
fat wheels, for the shrieks Of whistles.
the sounds Of revelers in the morning
hours and the tin pan accents Of the
phonograph in the next fat These
sounds would have lulled him to sleep
as the mothers lullaby does the fretful
infant. But in a solitude where there
was nothing but the song of the katy
dds and crickets or the distant voice
Of mountain streams the stiffness beat
in upon his ears, kept him awake and
made him afraid
There is legend in the neishborhood
Of another New York man who came
here to live with nature, but for the
truth Of this will not vouch. l have
enough mendacity of my own to an
swer for without becoming responsible
for that Of other people. AS the tale
goes, this man on his first night had
much the same terrifying experience
as my friend, but he had more grit He
decided to stick it out, so he invented
contrivance just outside his window
that would beat tin pans. jangle scrap
iron and grind powders together. Aft
er that he slept in peace.

E Everyday Beauty.

There are rare, sweet things in this
world Of ours
Sweet is the sunshine and sweet are the
flowers.
Sweet Is the fireside and sweet is repose.
Sweet is the morning song of the BIRDS
Sweet to the bruised heart are kindly
words.
Sweet are the stars on summer night.
Sweet Is the dawn on mountain height
When the white peaks blush with the
rosy light.
Sweet meath the rays of a full orbed
moon
II a lovers walk on night in June.
Sweet are the songs by our mothers sung.
Sweet are the days when we were young.
Sweet Is the dawning light that lies
Unveiled for us in anothers eyes.
Sweet Is a winter night, beguiled
BY the outside song of the tempest wild,
And sweet is the laughter Of a child.
Sweet are the CLEANS upon the soul
OF light that shines from an unseen goal.
Sweet unto youth is the far away.
Sweet are the dreams of a better day.
Sweet is congenial toll and the sense
OF rising above our environments.
Sweet is a hard earned victory.
And sweet. when the world IL in har.
mOny,
II the simple contentment Of Just to be.
Sweet is home with its peace and rest
And the love Of the beings that we love
best.
Sweet are the golden truths Of the Christ
Sweet. when self we have sacrificed.
10 the glow we feel from q noble deed,
Ii the growth of the soul unbound BY
creed.
Sweet are the beauties that ever spring
From art and nature, and so sing
That life IL a fair and a blessed thing.

How Locusts Grow.

The locust is so fine tree that even
calling it an acacia does not dispel the
charm. If were George P. Morris
would immortalize myself by sing
ing the locust's praises. but l would
avoid saying anything about not spar
ing It, That is unnecessary. The To-
Gust is abundantly able to take care OF
itself. 1t can grow faster than four
teen woodmen can get rid Of it. A
secondhand locust wilderness is hard
er to kill off than a colony of mosqui-
toes. 4 man can cut down a locust
srcout, turn his back moment to
light his pipe and find the thing sprout-
ed again by the time he is ready to re-
sumo work. once had man work
ing for me- who was so slow in his
movements that when he tried to grub
the locust thickets they actually SEEM
cd to gain on him.
The fecundity of the locust is such
that it makes the rabbit look like an
apostle Of race suicide. A forest 6re
stands no show in locust thicket for
the reason that the young shoots spring
up in the wake of the fire so fast that
they almost overtake the flames. This
is discouraging to the fire fiend. who
has nothing to show for his labor.

UNBLEACHED
 MUSLIN FROCKS

One of the dressmaking depart ments where shirtwaist frocks are made to order is showing very trig gowns of unbleached muslin. trimmed with bands of plain-col pred linen. The frocks are made with gored skirts, which are perfectly shaped, shirt waists with turn-down collars and three-quarter sleeves with turnback cuffs. The skirts have two bands of the coored fabric at the foot, and the collar, cuffs and belt are of the colored fabric. Unbleached muslin is also used by girls who know the wear and tear on waists for fishing, boating and hunting in the mountains. The waists are of sailor style, made whole, with no opening at front or back, the necks left wide enough to put the head through. The bottoms of the blouses are worn over the skirts and are rolled up once. The blouses are of hip length. They dre consid- cred smart in certain mountain re- sorts. Unbleached muslin is also used for dressing sacques, which are cut like pajama jackets, only with more shapellness, and are finished around the neck and down the front and at the bottoms of the sleeves with a band of colored linen or quaint pat
 termed cretonne.

DRESSING ROOM

The woman who can afford 1t Is having her own dressing room placed near the sleeping room and bathroom, often between these two rooms. It Is well-lighted apartment, having one immense window and countless mir TOTS and electric lights. The room has but one chair, the laVatory, count less hooks for dresses, shelves and q locked case for holding cosmetics. The dressing table is 6 small mahog- any affair, provided with three mir TOTS, one stationary, the side ones swinging. A small chair with back that fits well to the body is placed be- fore 1t. The dressing table contains all toilet articles for combing the hair, caring for the nails and hands Large dress drawers eighteen inches deep are placed in the wall Some are long enough to hold iull-length garment or a number of them. Shoe drawers, hat boxes and the like are but a part of the architec1 t.al beauty of the apartment. The floor is polish- ed hardwood, uncovered.
