There's gospel in woman's
clothes. The rule Of the big store
that has eliminated the well-known
characteristics of "Mayme," the
girl who liked to be waltzed
around again by Willie Fitzgib-
bons, is also bringing something
new in the lives of these $500
girls.
And, that is-character and sta
bility.
ITS wonderful what a change
has come over these young wom-
en-" said Mrs. Hoinville.

heads up. There was no tawdry
joking or air of being half-ashamed
of being a Shop girl.

But maybe there wasn't weeping
and wailing and smashing of POM
padour rats when the rule first
went round. President John G..
Shedd of the store insisted on
abolishing rats, pompadours, taw-
dry jewelry and loud dress and
manners. Mr.. Shedd, being one
mere man, and the girls being
$500 in number, he did the wise
thing and hired Mrs. Hoinville to
step in and be the dress reformer.
And right then one of her ideas
was proved. She thought that
there was close relation between
the mind and the dress of wom-
an. She didn't expect to find a

It would be a difficult matter to
say just what started the argument
between Alice Ray and her fiance,
Roland Everett. They simply differed
on point of view, and as both were
self-willed. neither cared to admit be-
ing in fault.

girl, petulantly. Just because don't

The two young people were seated
on the veranda of country house,
charmingly empowered in creeping
vines and commanding a wide view
of the Hudson river and the mighty
hills through which it winds. The
summer air was full of the fragrance
of new-mown hay, and the drowsy
murmur Of insects lulled the ear,
while ever and anon a thrush by the

Everything spoke of peace except the
two in whose hearts, by right, the
perfectfng glory of love should have

were engaged. Yet 1t so happened
that a dispute, trifiing in itself, had
become magnified and embittered, aft
er the sad human way, until both the
man and girl were in a state where
any moment might bring forth some
act or word which the rest of their
lives would be spent regretting. Aft
er Roland's last remark there was ST.

back in his chair and looked grimly

AALLEY's COMET IN SIGHT
How Astronomers Have Predicted
Coming of Astral Derefict Accu-

Halley's comet again is approach

years. While swinging around in
space 1t visited region that is per-
haps 100000 miles more distant
than the outermost planet of the so

point least distant from the sun-un-
til July 10. 1912, or possibly the lat
ter part of 1911. depending on the
amount of planetary disturbance. it
probably will be visible to the naked
eye in short time.
After an exposure of an hour re-

Solar bodies above the seventh mag
nitude cannot be seen without the
aid of telescope.
Extraordinary attention is being
paid to the return of this celebrated
comet. 1t is of particular interest to
scientists because it was the first
known to travel in a closed orbit. Its
brilliancy. sensational size, records of
its returns--the CONSERVATION once
spread through the world by the be-
lief that 1t would destroy the earth
make It the most famous comet In
history.
& In 1852, In the reign of Charles IL.
OF England, comet of extraordinary
size appeared. which was observed
by Newton. Haley and other astrono-
mers of the time. HALEY followed its
course among the stars and, compar-
ing his observations with the records
OF previous comets. came to the coz
clusion that the comets of 1856. 1881
and 1907 were only different appear
ances of the same object. He staked
his reputation on prediction that
the comet would return in about rs
years. True to this prediction, it did
appear in 175S, when Edmund HALEY
had been sleeping in his grave for 16
years. The reason the name of Pa
litsch, Saxon peasant. has been pre-
served to posterity is that his eye
was the first to catch sight of the re-
turning comet. 1t was on Christmas
night, 1853, he saw the comet and
cheated the professional astronomers
OF the honor.
The first recorded appearance OF
Halley's comet was B. c. 100, when
1t was believed to herald the birth of
Mithridates. In 1865 it was seen
equal to the full moon in size. In its
appearance In 1456 its tail reached
from the horizon to the zenith.
The following facts connected with
the appearance of the comet in 1895
are taken from HerschePs Outlines
of Astronomy"
1t developed no tail until October
2 and on that day the nucleus was
observed to become suddenly bright
er and to throw out a jet of light
from it's interior part.
Its tail attained the greatest length
OF 20 degrees October Is. and had en-
tirely disappeared before its perihel-
Ion passage of November 16.

while, singular and capricious
changes succeeded one another with
such rapidity that on no two success
sive nights were the appearances
alike. At one time 1t was single. at
another time fan-shaped or swallow
tailed. while at other times two,
three or even more jets were darted
from the comet in different direc-
tions
In receding from the sun it passed
through a series of changes scarcely
less remarkable and finally disap-
peared May 5, 1886.
