Packing q Trunk.

One of the simplest and most enjoy
able recreations of the summer days
Is packing trunk. This effort should
always be deferred until the night be-
fore you are going away on your va.
cation.
Then several Of your friends will
drop In to spend one last evening with
you and show you how much they are
going to miss you.
BY the time they have departed
which is after you have mendaciously
assured them that you are enjoying
their VISIT and they simply must not
be in such hurry-you may begin to
pack the trunk.
First you must bring. It down from
the attic. In doing this you remove
some epidermis from your shin and
some plaster from the wall. You then
discover that you have entirely for
gotten to have the hinge mended since
last summer.
You place the trunk in the center
of the room and get out all the
clothing you expect to put into 1t.
Your wonder how you are going to put
the vast quantity of material into the
trunk Is only to be compared to ones
occasional wonder at how much Ice
cream child can devour.
However. you finally jam the stuff
in, and then find that the key is lost.
So you nail the lid down and buckle
the strap.
You have then packed all the gar
ments you expected to wear on the
trip. leaving yourself only the stained.
wrinkled. torn things you have on.
In the morning you discover that
you have left out the tray.

Gypsy CrIuIn Unknown,

The problem of the origin of the
gypsies is still unsolved. It would
seem from linguistic evidence, how.
ever, that they are remotely descended
from low-caste Hindus of northwest
ern India. The name gypsy Is cor.
ruption of Egyptian. They were sup.
posed to have come in the middle
ages from Egypt, or rather Little
Egypt" In their own language they
called themselves Romany, and Rom
at one time was equivalent to the BY.
zantine empire, which included Greece,
and Epirus is said to be Little Egypt
In Greece gypsies were numerous be.
fore the fifteenth century and certain
castles were called gypsy castles, and
the tradition Is that they were driven
out by the Turks. There is evidence
to show that they came into Epirus
from Persia, to which country they
had been brought from India in the
fifth century. In 855 $4,000 were cap
tured by the Byzantines and brought
into Greece. Such seems the probable
story of their decentralization Her.

THE MAN SHE LOVED |
By MPE ADELAIDE R0WLANDS.

In the sudden rush OF terrible dread
and alarm that came over her:
"That child is pretty. Can you tell
me whose it is?"
There was no answer from the
newcomer; and, as IL drawn by some
powerful magnetic influence, Dorothy
turned round. AS ner eyes rested on
the man leaning against the doorway,
sneer on his pale lips and look of
triumph written over his curiously
beautiful face, she drew back invol-
UNFAIRLY and shivered with ague.
The man stood gazing at her for
several seconds; then lifting his left
arm-the right was suspended around
mis- neck In sifng-he pointed to the
baby, who was once more playing
with its sticks and stones, needless
and ignorant of the drama being en-
acted above its pretty little head.

The wearing of bird upon the hat
may be in questionable taste and al
present one sees almost no birds, bu1
any amount of plumage. Gradually
the wearing of feathers may die out,
but the signs of the times do not point
that way More plumage is shown
now than ever before. Women should
learn to discriminate in choosing It,,
and select those feathers which they
may wear with an easy conscience.
They are obliged to inform themselves
in some states of the Union or run
the risk of forfeiting their forbidden
property. For laws have been passed
and are enforced to protect certain
birds, and one may not own their
plumage.

Short Skirts or lond2

There can be no doubt that the real
ly short skirt has thoroughly estab-
lished itself this spring Of course,
for walking and all outdoor games it
is a delightful and most sensible
fashion, but there is some question as
to it's beauty and suitability where the
dressy afternoon frock or evening
toilet is concerned. For the quite
young woman who is still in her teens,
or has recently quilted them, the short
frock looks girlish and pretty, and is,
moreover, very practical and comfort
able. But with the older woman it is
quite a different matter. She looks
simply ridiculous in these fashionable
curtailed skirts, and, far from giving
her a girlish appearance. they add
FEARS to her apparent age.

The fear of the dark has lasted long
after the reason for that fear has
gone. Just as the dogs habit of turn
ing round and round before he lies
down to sleep has lasted since the
time when his ancestors, the wild
wolf-dogs, used to turn round and
round in the deep drifted leaves OF
the forest to make warm, sheltered
beds to sleep in. The habit has lasted
long after the need for it is over, and
turns round and round.

pract1Sed TO secure IL.
Women are learning to discriminate
in this matter and to forego the wear
ing of plumage that promises to bring
about the extinction of a species Of
beautiful wild birds or to inflict tor
ture. A proud crest of dainty feath-
ers torn from the back of a mother
bird and the death of a nest full of
f1edglings by slow starvation, are not
pleasant suggestions to f1aunt with
the group of sweeping aigrettes upon
the head of beauty. For the wearer
must be either uninformed, or indif-
ferent, or unmindful of cruelty. None
of the excuses will pass muster with
intelligent people.
Aside from a very few sorts, the
feathers we have worn recently and
those we will wear, are made from
the plumage of domestic or other edi-
BILE birds. No cruelty is practised in
securing them and thousands of peo-
pie make a living by manufacturing
the millinery trimmings made of them.
