j ilmy thing of gauze or chiffon is
clever enough to masquerade under few
other names. Sometimes the wrap that Is
to be thrown over the street gown is very
similar to the shapes that were so favored

through the front ends and is tied In a
bow with long ends at the back.
The lace paletot is another filmy express
sion of the old-fashioned pelerine brought
down to date. Spanish lace shawls in
black and white are fascinating when
used in the new way. There need be no

Bows of Net and TulIe.

THE airy crisp bow is perching in ex-
quisite beauty on many large hats
1t may be of the most delicate maline
tulle or gauze; It may be OF coarse fish
net outlined with silk. or 1t might even
be fashioned of figured yelling; but in any
form it is alluring.
The quality of the material that is used
insures a comfortable weight and an
easy adjustment of the shape. The idea
is universally becoming, and the best
part Of this style is that the woman who
makes no claim to cleverness is capable

The bow nowadays may be placed at

wearer pleases, and the brim of the large

A FEROCIOuS LION.

One lion may be an arrant coward,
another courageous to the point of
stupidity. The account of the man
eating lions that held up the building
of the Uganda Railroad is so well
known that it is not necessary to
repeat it here Such occurrences as
this, though not common, are still
by no means the exception. In the
Mount Kenia district last year COM
pany of native soldiers were sitting
around the nights campfire when a
lion sprang upon them, seized vic
tim, and went away with the wretched
man before his companions could re-
cover from their surprise. While the
terror-stricken camp was still ex-
citedly discussing the incident again
a lion-whether the same or another
I don't know-leaped in among them
and dragged away second victim.
Needless to say that when I camped
in the same spot later my men kept
up an unusually large fire throughout
the night.-Everybody

PLANT BEAUTIFUL VINES.

Why are not beautiful vines more
often planted about village or farm
homes? You should know how beau
tiful they are. Have you not seen the
beauty of the wild grape trailing over
bushes, trees or stumps by the brooks
and creeks, or the wild bittersweet,
or TIE Virginia creeper?
You can buy grape vine. for ten
cents which will be thing OF beauty
for a hundred years and at the same
time give you bountiful. supply Of
delicious, wholesome fruit.
But there are other vines more
beautiful than the grape. My favor
ite is the little white Towering Gle
mats known as Paniculata. This
clematis is one of the most easily
cared for. 1t is mass of white
bloom during the long season of mid
summer and early fall. It is a Wig
orous grower and will climb over as
large a surface as grave vine.
While each individual flower is not
large like .Clematis Jackmanni, and
others of that class, there are millions
of these little flowers, altogether maxi
ing a mass of white like snow bank.

THE LION AT NIGHT.

Once in the lion country, you learn
the real reason why he is termed the
King of Beasts. He looks it. Be-
sides, there IS the terror he casts
over all the brute creation about him.
And as for terror, there is one fea-
ture of life in East Africa that the
traveller never forgets-the lions
roaring. To me, no other sound in
nature is more awe-inspiring, more
close range, OF among hills, where
the echo rescUnds in its rolling double
bass. Contrary to the common idea,
lions do not confine their thunderous
calls to the night only; frequently in
open daylight one may be startled by
a sudden outburst. They are noisy
lot, too. At night, l have heard a
band keep up the dire chorus for
hours at time, a blood-curdling con-
cert that brings to mind every tale,
fanciful OR true, of their daring, of
their fierce rapacity and might. 1t
seems, still further, to have an added
dreadfulness when one is lying with
only its canvas between one and the
formidable musician.
Listen now! There goes one BOOM
ing in the distance, a roaring obli-
cato that breaks into from six to
dozen calls. From the first to the
fourth the volume usually increases;
then it dies down. At very close
quarters one hears the roar melt
gradually into a puzz, itself dimin
ishing to growing, DISCONTINUED
humble that last for about half a
minute. Or there is the other sound,
equally menacing-a soft and sug-
gestive crunchng noise, as though
the beast had already settled to a
grewsome meal The lions voice is
mighty, as mighty as his strength.
Forget his habits, his love of carrion,
and his daylight turn OF cowardice,
and you have the impression of a
King of Beasts-a real royalty among
the brute creation. n.-Everybody's

A VERY OLD DOLL.

Do you know that over two hun
dred years ago a big ship went out
to America with passenger on board
whose acquaintance you could still
make if you were in that country?
And what do you think that passen-
ger was? A doll.
The ship on which it sailed was one
in which an Englishman, William
Penn, went to America. He had been
there before, and while he was back
at home he told his little girl that the
children in the country he had been
visiting had no toys at all.
She was so very sorry for them
that she asked her father to take at
least one doll out and give it to some
little girl there, says Home Chat.
1t was a very grand doll, with
dress of velvet and brocade; and after
all this time it is still kept carefully,
to be shown now and then to Amer
lean children.
