Mary bought a costly frock of shaded
messaline
And turban closely fitting trimmed in
dreamy tones of green.
The new gown shimmered as il fell in
folds across her bed,
Her hat seemed quite becoming as
she tried it on her head.
She had hoped her hubby would be
home before she left at four,
To make one Of party for a time at
bridge to score.
But she could wait no longer, and
when she reached the place
Her friendly hostess greeted her with
animated face.
And whispered You are perfect, dear
as chic as you can be
Accent congratulations for looking
Parcel"
Some ladies going home that day re
marked her stylish mien,
Agreed her gown was wondrous, and
she looked so well in green.
While those who said not anything
and seemed the least bit bored
Wished bills such as she fostered
their husbands could afford.
They sat silently through dinner, anC
gloomily because,
Compared to their restrictions, how
happy Mary was
While Mary dinnerless had retired tC
her room
Because her brutal husband had spoil
ed her afternoon.
For what do you suppose?-he haC
eyed her with a frown
And said, "My dear-you're freakish
just a pencil upside down."

ELEANOR RIvENBURGH.

Inc cool quiet days winch are now
upon us are inspiring many occasions
of an informal character, and most
any afternoon between four and six
o'clock little sociable gatherings may
be seen on the tropical lanais of our
society homes about the city.
1t seems, in truth, that bridge has
come to stay, so assiduously do it's ar
dent devotees conjure the afternoon
and evening hours with its fascinating
lure, and the trophies for skill usually
incite ambition even to the more
placid players. These vary from dain-
ty handkerchiefs to cloisonne vases,
while many hostesses may often be
seen in our oriental bazaars, delving
into carved worries and Satsuma dis
plays, carefully selecting the more
tempting bric-a-brac for the guests
who will assemble for an afternoon at
bridge
But what seems to be even more
important just now is the early realiza-
ton Of the approaching holiday, and,
because they live on an island in mid
Pasific, shut off by slow progress from
the outside world in which so many Of
| their friends live and have their be-
ing, most of our society ladies are
busy preparing lists of prospective
shopping tours, or busy devising dain-
ty feminine offerings with their
needles.
So, indeed, there will not be a full
awakening of social duties till after
Christmas, when the annual obliga-
tions having been disposed of and ack-
nowledged, free rein will be given to
the "beau monde"

walked up broad flight of stairs and
entered a room, in the center OF which
a middle-aged Japanese, in the uni
form of general in the army, sat at
a table writing. He was a corpulent
man, In whose shrewd eyes and stern
features European training contended
with Mongol cunning. He spoke for
very few moments in a low tone
with a subordinate, and, evidently as
a result of this conference, Neville
was led from the room. He returned
after about 20 minutes. and Hardy
glanced at him curiously If anything
unpleasant had been done to him, It
did not show In his face-a fact which
the American attributed to the 9th
er's British imperturbability.
Hardy himself was now led away
He was taken into a room about ten
feet square, with bare floors and not
an article Of furniture. He found him
self alone with two Japanese. one of
whom addressed him Immediately in
a language that he did not under
stand.

CHAPTER u.
Searched by the Police

THE Anglo-SaXons are the only peo-
pie who have any idea Of personal lib
erty," remarked Hardy, as the two
men stood on the steps of the hotel,
waiting for their iinrikisha to arrive

At this moment the jinrikisha came
up and the newly-made friends start
ed out for their night expedition about
the streets of Yokohama-sucha an ex-
cursion as only Pierre Lott or Lafca-
do Hearn could describe adequately.
An Americans chief sensation on first
getting into a jinrikisha is loss OF

remembered aiterward. sat extensively
close to him. This man had a pro

and persisted in drawing Hardy and
Neville into conversation. The
American took a dislike to him from
the first.

so erect that he seemed to be slightly

most expensive American tailors,

ed intellectual distinction to a high
bred, somewhat ascetic countenance.

toward the sea-shore, the Englishman

rolled out the bellows. Then he
strolled back and forth for several mo-

tried to decide on the composition Of
the view that he would take. He
pressed the bulb and was closing the
instrument when a Japanese in Euro
pean dress stepped up to him and
laid a OBTAINING hand upon his arm.

amazement. Naturally his first
thought was that he was being

The threat was suggested by the
of two police officers who
were standing near, evidently watch

they approached.

He was not kept waiting long. The

incident, which had been conducted in
a masterful manner, threw a new
light on Japan. 1t led him to believe
that this was something more than
