asylum. and she had been referred to
Monsieur Leroy. the inhabtant of this

lodged, She had come prepa~ed with a
little note requesting the favor of an in
terview, and inclosing her card, with
the address of Enderby Manor as we'll

and the Hotel Westminster indicated at
least responsibility in the applicant, and
Monsieur Leroy's reception was both
prompt and courteous.
He was a clever looking man, about
90 years of age. with q fine. benevolent
head, and an attentive eye. as Of one al

Avoid Wrinkles.

Frequently wrinkles are the result
Of bad habits, such as repeated con-
tracing of the eyebrows, which forms
small nes-sometimes one deep one
between the brows; the lifting of the
eyebrows, which results in transverse
lines on the forehead.
A stereotyped smile frequently i'm
prints heavy furrow from nose to
corner of mouth, on either side.
Little lines about the mouth are
usually the result of much laughter
these, to my mind, are not objection

more conducive to beauty than lines
are to uglineSs.

Mrs. Pixies Peak Rocky Grizzly
| opened her eyes warily and looked at
her mate, Mr.. P. p. r. Grizzly, the
champion beau Of the bear dens at the
New York Geological park. The ribald
old sinner was standing up against the
iron fence rubbing noses with Mrs.
Northwest Territory Grizzly, who, with
her unhandsome mate, occupies the
next den to the north.
There has been scandal brewing at
the park for several weeks, and it has
delighted everyone, from the elephant
to the crocodiles No one Of the Wis
itors has noticed it, but the keepers
have smiled ominohsly when they have
noticed the gay old Mr.. Pixies Peak
Grizzly making eyes at the mate Of his
neighbor. The keepers know what hap
pens when such things are done. They
know the terrible jealousy Of female
bear, and they have been looking for
an outbreak for some time.
Mrs. Pixies Peak Is more lovely than
Mrs Northwest Territory, but every
man knows that because his wife Is at
tractive that does not blind him to the
beauty Of other females
Mrs Pixies Peak has been sulking
for weeks She has eaten very little
and has lain in a corner Of the yard
watching her better half's love-making
through the iron bars.
While her mate rubbed noses through
the fence yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Pixies Peak crept toward him. The
keepers held their breath, because they
knew the psychole gical moment had
come The fasciD ting Mr.. Pixies Peak
continued to whi',per through the fence.
Mrs Pixies Peaf stood up behind him.
\ Mrs. Northwe tern Territory edged
away, blinking. She could see the ter
rible fire in the eyes of the indignant
she bear.
Quickly, and with the force of bat
tering ram, the great arm Of Mrs.
Pixies Peak landed on the ear Of her
unsuspecting mate. His great bulk
toppled over, rolling like a meal sack
on the ground. Then he jumped up
whistling:
"Wouf! Wo-o-o-uf!"
His mate was close at his heels, how
ever, and rained blow upon blow ON
his offending head, and finally tipped
him over, bodily into the tank of ice
water. 1nere he stuck his nose out of
the water and took in the situation.
The female bear stood ready to biff him
another one the minute he came out.
There was a long and angry dispute in
bea-, language, from the whines and
grunts of which the keepers guessed
that the male was supplicating and
the female denouncing. Finally Mrs.
Pixies Peak wheeled around and went
to her corner Mr.. Pixies Peak scram-
bled out of the water and hustled into
the stone cave. He didn't come out
again all day.
II guess there won't be any more
flirting" said a keeper.-New York

His genius had forsaken him. Follies,

signoria; ali, well who can Doubt that
he lied to her? Young and handsome and
rich. Be lied to her as ne had lied to
me. He was made up of lies"
Maria saluted Mildred and the doctor
with her stage curtsy, and withdrew. One
side of Monsieur Leroy's house opened
into the garden, the other into court
yard adjoining the high road.

English girl? Was it all imaginary

stances, for believe she adored her

that he had never cared for her, except
as an element in his success"
Mildred took leave of the doctor, after
thanking him for his politeness. She left
handful of gold for the benefit Of the
poor patients, and left DIR. Leroy under
the impression that she was one Of the
sweetest women he had ever met. Her
pensive beauty, her low and musical
voice, the clear and resoiute purpose of
every word and look were in his mind
indications of the perfection of woman

First White Bridal Gown.

wedding gown was Mary Queen Of
Scots, who introduced the fashion In
1858, when she married Francis II Of
France. Her dress was Of white bro
cade, but over it she wore a court
mantle of Persian blue velvet which
was held up by two pages. For some
time the white wedding dress was fov-
ored only by brides of high rank, and
teenth century that it became general
at weddings. At the close Of the mid
die ages scarlet was worn by brides on
their wedding day, and scarlet is still
the bridal color in China.

d patrlouc duty TO release themselves

This change in public sentiment can
be measured by likening it to sud
den determination on the part of Amer
icaR women to abandon the corset and
hereafter 10 allow the body to be free.
For many years before the corset was
thought OF. women OF China had their
feet bouls ard crippled. and their res
olution now to submit no longer to that
custom marks the rise Of spirit Of
sieninrne Independence that is remark

Probably the origin Of the foot-bind-
ing fashion is to be sought in the self
ishness and vanity OF men, who wanted
to make sure that their women could
not escape from the captivity in which
they existed. If that is so, Chinese
men also are becoming more liberal and
enlightened. Mr.. WI seems to be right
in saying that China has awakened at

Pins by the Billion.

One hundred and thirty-three mill
lion gross of pins. Nineteen billion
pins. The census bureau is the au-
thority for the statement that the
output of pins in the United States
for the year 1907 alone reached these
stupendous figures. 1t is not strange
that mankind has for many years
wondered where all the pins go to.
Nineteen billion pins supplies 225 pins
for every man woman and child in
America. Nor Is this all. These fg-
ures are for the common pin and do
not include hairpins, safety pins, nor
the importation of an unstated guam
tity of pins from other countries. II
we assume that the average length of
pins is one inch, it appears that In a
single year America produces 19,000.-
100000 inches of pins. 1,600.0O0,o00
feet of pins, $4,000 miles of pins.
pins enough if laid end to end to go
around the world thirteen times, pins
enough to make 106-strand cable
between New York and Liverpool.
