PROSE POEM By HAWTHORNE.
Description Of "Oid Maid In the Wind.
Ing Street" One Of the Best Things
In the Language.

A faint Of insanity affected the whole
life of the lovelorn "OId Maid In the
Winding Street." bereft as she was by
the sudden death of her lover But
so quiet. sad and gentle. SO utterly
free from violence was she. that she
was suffered to pursue her harmless
fantasies unmolested by the world
with whose business or pleasure she
had naught to do. She dwelt alone
and never came into the daylight ex-
cept to follow funerals. Whenever a
corpse was borne along the street, in
sunshine. rain or snow. whether
pompous train of the rich and proud
thronged after it, or few and humble
were the mourners, behind them came
the lonely woman in a long, white
garment which the people called her
shroud. She took no place among the
kindred or the friends, but stood at
the door to hear the funeral prayer
and walked in the rear of the process.
sion as one whose earthly charge 1t
was to haunt the house of mourning
and be the shadow of affection and
see that the dead were duly buried.
So long had this been her custom that
the inhabitants deemed her a part OF
every funeral as much as the coffin
pail or the very corpse itself and 1t
augured Ill of the sinners destiny un-
less the "Old Maid in the Winding
Street" came gliding, like ghost. be.

appearing suddenly in the Illuminated
hall just as the priest was uniting
false maid to a wealthy man before
her lover had been dead a year. Evil
was the omen to that marriage Some
times she stole forth by moonlight
and visited the graves Of venerable
integrity and welded love and virgin
innocence and every spot where the
ashes of kind and friendly heart was
mOuldering Over the hillocks of these
favored dead she would stretch out
her arms with gesture as IL she were
scattering seeds and many believed
that she brought them from paradise,
for the graves which she had visited
were green beneath the snow and GOV.

November. Her blessing was better
than a holy verse upon the tombstone.

Only Cure Tor consumption.


With the present rapid growth OF
the anti-tuberculosis movement the
number Of so-called cures" for con-
sumption is being increased almost
daily. Hundreds of quack doctors" !"
professors" and institutes" are ad-
vertising that they can cure consump-
ton for small amounts. with the re-
suit that thousands of dupes are year
ly cheated out of their lives as we'll
n their money. Besides these. "cures"
and medicines Of all sorts. numbering
now several hundred. are sold for the
deception of the public.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
brands all these institutes, doctors.
professors and cures AZ frauds and de-
ceptions. The only cure for consump
tion Is fresh air. rest and wholesome
food.

Bound to Have = Brother.

From New York comes a story
about a little girl which might have
come from one of Mr.. Barrie's stories
The little girl. whose age is about IL,
wanted for long time baby broth
er or sister. When she told her ia.
ther of her wish, he said: You had
better keep your eyes open, and some
day perhaps you can steal one." Well,
the 12-year-old miss took him at his
word. She kept very alert eye on
all the babies she fell in with, and
one day last week she saw one in a
baby carriage outside some small New
York shop. She took the baby and
ran away with it. but her possession
of her prize soon came to an end, for
the baby's mother, finding an empty
carriage when she 1ert the store, ap-
peeled to the police. and the police
were equal to the task Of restorins

changed her ideas. Jewelry in the

Laughter . ssrIs, Of earks,


Laughing is barking, say the sci
entists. The neck and head are
thrown back while a series Of short
barks are emitted from the throat.
However musical the barks may be,
they are barks. The laugh begins
with sudden and violent contraction
of the muscles of the chest and abb
domen. But instead of opening to let
the air pass out Of the lungs, the vocal
cords approach each other and hold It
back. But they are not strong enough
to exercise such opposition for more
than an instant. and the air, which 10
under pressure. promptly escapes. A
it does SO it makes the vocal cords vi.
brate producing the bark.
This obstruction and liberation a
the air expelled from the lungs repeats
itself again and again at intervals Of .
quarter Of a second. There are thus
in q hearty laugh four barks a second,
and If continued. they go on at that
rate as long as the air reserve in the
lungs holds out. The empty lungs
must then I'LL themselves. and this in.
terval is marked by quick gasp for
breath. after which the barks are re.
newed. The barks occur in series
with gasps for breath at intervals.
When laughter is violent, the entire
body participates. The upper part of
the trunk bends and straightens itself
alternately or sways to right and left.
The feet stamp on the floor, while the
hands are pressed upon the loins to
moderate the painful spasm.

'Then . friend finally, after much

commenced to use 1t, and great was

in my stomach.
so kept ON using GrapeNuts and
soon . marked improvement was
shown, for my stomach was perform

non to see a woman tiaraless yet with
aer couture ablaze with precious
stones.
One beauty of the season has
dressed her hair with q ribbon of dia-
monds woven in and out among the
3reuze curls she affects. The sleeves
Of her ball gown were 4 trelliswork
Of diamonds and high dog collar of
the same stones encircled her throat.
A fashionable bride attracted atten-
tion even in that bejewelled assemb.
lage. for she displayed 4 long chain of
diamonds terminating in q diamond.
gemmed purse, which she absolutely
kicked with her feet AZ she promen-
sded the grounds.
At garden parties whenever brief
glimpses of the sun have permitted
the use OF parasols 1t has been seen
that jewelled handles are fashionable.
Fans, too, are wrought with precious
stones, and on the ankles of silken
hose tiny gems glitter as the centers
of embroidered flowers.
Ear pendants are tremendously pop
ular. The fact that they do away with
the old fashioned ear piercing and
yet permit the adorning of ears with
gems has made them the rage. They
consist usually of q large diamond or
pearl attached to little chain of dia.
monds linked together with platinum.
The entire pendant is an inch or au
inch and a quarter long and is fastened
to the ear by a screw which presses
lightly on the flesh.
The most unusual jewelry this sen.
son has been the old or imitation old
Egyptian, Persian. Spanish and Italian
ornaments. The clinging empire and
directoire gowns trimmed with orien
tai embroideries in dull tints have
brought this style of ornament inAf
vogue.
Diadems Of colored mother of pearl
with pearl points, dull gold empire
wreaths and oval plaque pendants o.
bright gold with blue or green scarabs
in the center and pearls at the edges
have been much worn. while silver
combs and brooches from old Spanish
and Italian models with settings il
moonstones, garnets, pearls and amy
thysts have also been fashionable.

fewelry seen lately are owned by q
