which brought the light into contact with the
gas in a low level. Ensign Aiken received the

to obtain in other materials The hip length
jersey waists conform TO the mOyen age style
idea when worn with a peated skirt of either
cloth silk. This skirt should have the pleated
nounce attached To a deep hip yoke of the same
material, and the jersey should then be drawn
down over the skirt yoke, and fastened securely
to the upper edge Of the hounce by means of
patent fasteners that cannot slip or be pulled
out Of place The French dressmakers use such
fasteners, not nook TO hold the tuncs or
bodicos Of silk and cloth costumes in position.
If desired, ribbon grdle with or without sash
ends can he sewed to the lower edge of the
jersey, and practical little costume will thus be
obtained at small expeuse-a costume that can
readily be made at home by any clever woman.

peated frills. Charming they undoubtedly are,
but think how often must have a fresh
waist to be really natty and trim. Certainly
the American washerwoman and laundryman
do not take the same pride in their work
does the French washerwoman. There the dainty
embrOdcries aces and frills come home from
their weekly visit to the laundry looking
though they had just been sent from the maker.
1t is best to draw the curtain over the Ills and
furbelows that pass through the hands of the
American washerwoman, who certainly seems to
guarantee to take all the style out of any gar
mcnt; and as for dry cleaning that is too
expensive for most women to afford the luxury.

are dear little satin and silk bows and ties that
serve to give added style touch to these
simple yet elegant waists.

When the Industrial history Of this
country comes to be written as 1t should
be, the career OF the late Henry @
Havemeyer will undoubtedly receive
prominent mention, and, doubtless, va
rious stories will be told in an effort
to throw the proper light on the charac-
ter Of the man who was the first presi-
dent of the country's first real trust
the sugar trust.
l know of no story of Mr.. Have
meyer h a sheds a more peculiar light
on the mans mental makeup than the
hltnerto unpublished one l am now
about to relate. 1t was told to me by
the late DR.. L. p. Jones. who was for
years Mr.. Havemeyer's family physi-
clan.
Among Mr.. Havemeyer's employees
said DR.. Jones, was q man who had
gained the confidence of his immediate
super!ors by his industry and faithful
ness. Indeed, so diligent was he at
business that he made of himself some
thing of an expert, and 1t was neces-
sary for him occasionally to be brought
into personal touch with President
Havemeyer.
How many times this had happened
/ do not know, but one day, after this
employe had been in consultation a few
minutes with President Havemeyer,
the later sent for the head of the de-
partment in which the expert worked.
When the head came, MI. Havemeyer
turned on him with his customary inn
periousness.
"I want YOU to get rid of So-and-so
at once he commanded.
The head of the department. was as
tonished and somewhat annoyed. He
asked what the man had done to JUS
tlfy such summary dismissal.
He hasn't done anything was the
frank reply.
But, Mr.. Havemeyer.' protested the
chief Of department. he is one of my
most faithful s~ubordinates. He is one
of the very best men 1 have under me,
1t doesn't seem right to discharge him
without eason
Very likely that 3 So. admitted
Mr.. Havemeyer, but there Is something
about that man that CRATES on nv
He makes me uncomfortable
every time he comes into my presence.
I don't know what it Is, but I simply
can't stand 1t to nave him near me.

But I can't tell him

always ready to fly IL disturbed. They
have been seen sitting in such a position
in daylight. Many small birds roost in
large weeds. and others select a tuft Of
grass in which to spend the dark hours.
Quite a number of birds build their nests
on the ground in pastures and meadows,
and while the mother bird is Matching
and caring for the brood, III male bird
Is always near at hand on the alert or
gathering grubs or insects for the little
ones. At night the male bird remains
the nest, and in some instances both
parents sit OF the little nest.
A few birds that prey upon others and
destroy both birds and eggs are awake
at night. and fly about doing all the harm
they can. Some birds sing at night, but
most Of them remain silent. 1t is rare
that the WOO or meadow is wholly silent
at night, but the world seems asleep COM
pared to the awakening that comes with
the appearance of dawn.

disturbs those near. and the frightened
birds will futter and fly away in the dark
ness to seek another roosting place.
Swallows. after a day spent In skimming
the air and catching hundreds of insects,
will seek q roosting place at hight. The
chimney swift will soar and dart about
until after sunset, and then suddenly dive
into some chimney. The birds have very
s-harp-pofnted claws. and cling On the
sides of the sooty fues. Old or unoccupied
factory smokestacks make excellent places
for the chimney swallows to roost In vast
numbers.
In some OF the country districts. and es-
pecially along wide river bottoms where
the conditions seem to provide a fine place
for birds to catch insects. there is a swal-
low that likes to find q hollow tree for a
roosting place at night. In early spring,
before robins begin to nest. these birds
will gather In large numbers in some
group of trees or grove. where they will
sing until almost dark. and then they re-
main quiet until the first signs OF day,
when they break forth in song, filling the
ar with the sweetest Of music. As soon
as they begin nesting they do not collect
In such large numbers. but each pair
seeks a sheltered roosting place near the
spot selected to raise their brood. After
the first egg is deposited In the nest, and
until the young BIRDS are able to leave,
one OF the robins remains on the nest
while the other sits near on some limb.
When the young birds can fly the parents
induce them to go with them to some pro-
|tected thicket or sheltered location where
there Is as little danger as possible.
Some birds roost In very much exposed
places. not seeming to realize the danger
from their enemies. Others will select
protected spots, and secrete themselves in
suchsa manner in the foliage of trees and
.sv1nesFthat even their enemies cannot find
them. Many birds choose a natural shell
ter from the rains by getting beneath
q Leaf which sheds the water from them,
while others sit out In the open, taking

two MIR. Havemeyer. as he was on his

increased his steps In order to get out

almost as suddenly as he had gone
up to the man. Mr.. Havemeyer turned
on his heel and walked away. When he
reached his Office he summoned before
him the departmental chief who had
been compelled to discharge the ex-
pert.
81 want you to see so-and-so'@nam-
ing the man who had been discharged
and find out from him with what dry
goods house he could get a position II
he had some capital. Just find out in
c~identally. Then come and let me
KNOW
This information was obtained and
delivered.
Now said MIR. Havemeyer, I want
you to find out If it is true that this
man could get a place in the house he
names, and how much money he will
need to do So
I'm the couse of a few days Mr..
Havemeyer learned that II his former
employe could furnish s25, 900, with
which to secure a minor interest in the
firm. he would at nee be employed,
and at an ever better salary than he
had received in the sugar company.
Mr.. Havemeyer turned to the de-
partment head:
81 van you to arrange for this
mans connection with that house, he
said. I want you to place the money
with h concern. I want them to send
for him and tell him that arrangements
have been made for him to go to work
with them. n that he is to have a
small interest in the firm in addition
to his salary. But I don't want him
to know that 1 have furnished. the
money with which this place is secured

Some months later, when word was
taken to Mr. Havemeyer that his for
mer employee had turned out to be a
most valuable asset to the dry goods
house. and that he was booked for part
nershtp advancement, his only comment
was: 1T was worth the money to get
