the tiny Eve lying on the knees of the
elder Eve.
| But they were clasped over the
child, no shadow fell on it's face. The

Some years ago-the author cannot
at the moment say how many, nor
does it matter-he paid a visit to Nor
well, and saw the sad havoc that had
been wrought to the venerable hunt
ing lodge of the Abbots of Tavistock
The old hall had disappeared, a floor
had been put across it, and 1t had
been converted into an upper and
lower story of rooms. One wing had
been transformed into a range OF
| model cottages for laborers. The
house of the rordans was now a farm.
The author asked if he might see
the remains of antiquity within the
house
| An old woman who had answered
his knock and ring replied, There are
none. All have been swept away
But said he, in my childhood I
! remember that the place was full of
interest; and by the way, what has
become of the good people who lived
here? I have been in another coun-
try, and indeed a great deal abroad.

No; Jasper, no, the name began

Jordan-Miss Barbara we called her
When Miss Eve died, they went away
to Buckfastleigh, where they had
house and factory. There was a
queer matter about the old squire's
death-did you never hear of that,
sir?'
I heard something; but l was very
young then
My Joseph could tell you all about
it better than l.
Who is your Joseph
We'll, sir, I'm ashamed to say it,
but he's my sweetheart, who's been

He's slow man is Joseph. I reck.
on he'd a. spoken out If he'd been able
at last, but the paralysis took IN in

Washington, March 23.-Occupying
the entire session of the house. Mr.
Payne of New York, chairman OF the
committee of ways and means, con-
cluded his speech in explanation of
the tariff bill. He was on his feet
almost all the five hours and ten min
utes that he had the floor. His argu-
ments covered a wide field He took
the position that the bill would not
1njure the tin plate or steel industries
OF the United States, and that free
hides would not be menace to farm
ers. He discussed the inheritance
tax at length, and said it was prefer
able to the income tax because it
would not give rise to perjury or
fraud. He held to the view, also, that
the income tax was wholly unconsti-
tutional.
The minority leader, Champ Clark.
Of Missouri, followed, and had pro
ceeded but minute Or two when, at
the suggestion of Mr.. Payne he sus-
pended and the house adjourned
To define the crime of kidnapping
and provide punishment therefor, in
the District of Columbia" This is
the title of a bill which Representa-.

and it was suggested by the harrow
ing experiences of Willie Whitla. OF

son for the purpose of extorting ran
som is made punishable by death or

The Way to Wear a Hat.
From the Housekeepcr


Half OF the secret OF smartness in a hat
is the way it is set on the head. This is
the reason provincial millinery so often
betrays itself to the practical urban eye
Shape and mode of trimming may be
quite faultless expressions of the prevail
ing mode; colors may be indubita bly, cor.
rect, but--the hat is put on WI onS and
there's the end of ii. Often the last citi-
fed whim of adjusting a hat seems in
tensely exaggerated to the woman net ac-
customed TO the new style-just as the
Paris millinery for fall, with its smashed
down. eclipsing effect over the diminished
couture is startling New York at this
very minute. All the new fail hats sci
well down on the head and they have
large head sizes and santing brims which
increase this low effect. If a bandeau Is
used. il is one OF the fat disc-like affairs
which serve not in the least TO raise the
hat, but only TO keep il from sliding com
pletely over the wearers ears. And the
fall hats are to be tip-tilted TO one side
Just wee bit whenever mere Is a rol
brim to excuse il. In fact. all the new
styles seem to hint at coquetry and be-
wltcning charm rather than the dignity
and classic stateliness of the mode just
