THE FLEET.

Gaunt rocks of death that darkiy lay,
Unstirred by tide rivers sway.
Against the glory of the day.
The ships of war were still.
Kindred I'm color to the wave.

They noated, terrible and brave,
Beneath the people HILL
Inmovable forted isles
stern guns Artistic from their piles
The anchored sauadrons marked the
miles
From bay to cifyss rim.
We gazed upon the steely chain
The shaciles of the might main
Built. by our will, for human pain,
And felt the grandeur grim.
Hut. sudden, fell the veil OF night.
And. sudden, to the wondering,
From far-thronged wave, and wall and

We saw the spIendor glow

The bosom of the hidden stream.
Burst. beautiful. into the sieana
OF lights, long filed and low.
The hcating citadcIs of death.
As by some mystic shfbbcIeth,
Were fashioned, In the space of breath,
Into fairy scene.
The things that men had made to kill
stood glorifled and sweet and still.
While music reached the sborevnrd hill
From out the dream-demesne.
But yet again the dawn came, cold.
The deep gums. by their thunder, told
Their power. where the echoes rolled
Against the rocky shore.
And out upon the ocean gray,
Trim, terrible, In close array.

BLACK AND WHITE
 WILL BE FASHION

Paris, October 2S.-(Special. )--Women
 are to be fantasies in black and white,
 according to the modes determined in Paris for the autumn and winter sea-
 sons Black and white fashions were
 ill vogue last winter. but the combination
 has now developed into the widest eccen-
 tricites.
 At Longchamps. there was scarcely a
 touch of color visible. Here and there a splash of canary shade in feathers and
 trimming, or a pansy violet hat or gown
 were seen. But nine times out of ten
 women wore original designs in black and white.
 With a white satin gown was worn black shoes.
 An artistic creation was a frock of white silk velvet brocade, over which was worn q mantle cloak of black chif-
 ion and musquash. Many of the hats (might be described as mob caps) are also black. Fur costumes consisting of separate
 coat and skirt are in vogue. Some hand
 some designs carry out the black and white scheme. They are in ermlne. the,
 coat and hem of the gown being fringed with tails.
 One black gown was heavily embroid- cred with white knitted worsted while
 another. was edged around the hem of the short ankle skirt with tiny black silk fringes, through which were vis- ble when the wearer walked, the white uppers of black patent leather boots, which are a prominent fashion at tho moment.
 One blac,, hat was trimmed with the whole skin. with the exception Of the
 head of the animal, which appeared to be 8 tabby cat, the long tail being ! curled round the crown as a finish to the back of the hat

BOOKS WITH THE GLOW OF LIFE

Tn the Shadow of Islam.' by Demetra
 Vaka. fHoughton, Miflin Go, Bos-
 ton)
 This romance happens to fall upon ! day when It's timeliness alone, glv- ng as it does an intimate view of Turkish life, would fling 1t at once into instant and wide popularity. But 1t Is In itself too unusual and too absorb Ing a book to need even timeliness to Insure it an eager acceptance. It pull Eates with interest. It's background is particularly picturesque. It's personages move through the pages with the Yigor of real living people. It throws the people, the scenes wherein they move; the fife the purposes, the enthusiasm of the leaders of the Young Turk movement as clearly on the retina of the minds eye as passing folk, and their living thrust themselves upon active vision. The young American, Mil 1icent Grey, goes straight from the halls of Radcliffe to Constantinople to visit an aunt and uncle, the uncle be- ing connected with the United States embassy. Millicent Is an orphan of wealth so her only need is that of flnd- ing an outcome for her energy, a cause for her enthusiasm. This she deter mines shall be to bring help and free dom Cat least that divine discomfort, d desire for freedom) to the benghted women of the east. Alas, for those good hopes-on her first visit to the home of wealth in the land chosen for her self imposed mission the tables were in bewildering fashion turned: She was treated quite as if she were the one to be made to see the error of her ways" How old was the Americana? :? She was 23. How many children did she have? Being told that she was not af al bpir ad1 1xr expressed the pity that they felt for her. Was she not considered pretty in her own country? Did not any man wish to marry her? Just finished study ing-and 23 years old Was she, then very stupid? One tall beauty of the eastern household announced with pride: T am only 22, but I have been married seven years and have three children-two of them boys" But the girl from Boston was not thus to give over her mission, she asked if these women did not want to go out into the world, to be a part of the world, to do something for it. But the east ern beauties only cried in amazement: Was she crazy? What did she mean by being part of the world?' They were a part of the world, and did a great deal for it. They were giving men to the world to fight for the glory of Islah. It was the Americana who was doing nothing for the world. Where was the man she should be making happy? Where were the boys she ought to be bringing up?" Mellicent became almost pursuaded that it was indeed herself who must be healed of the i'll of useless living. The most fas- cinating woman of the book is the Greek girl, Elpis. Nor is the Sultana, Malk hatoun. without rare charm Orka Effendi, the Turk who wins, for a time the heart, and very nearly the hand, of the American girl is q striking type of what the Oriental must be at his best-perhaps "the unspeakable Turk" at that He is cultured cruel. cour- teous and changcable He is bold, bril- liant, the devoted leader of his party vowed to progress and reform But ever he is the Turk who can comprehend

Equals

From the Washington Star
 The Rev. Anna Howard Shaw said re- gently in Philadelphia of'.an opponent or co-education:
 Perhaps he objects because he is aware that equal education does away with mans superiority The average man, of course. won't be superior to the average woman when they are both equally well educated. His assertions won't be &C., cepted then unquestioningly.
 "Tndeed, his assertions already are be- ginning to be questioned here and there. mus there was young chap at the sea shore last month who. on being refused by beautiful girl, said:

else in the world A fiesta took place on the day I arrived at Tehuantepec. The principal street of the town was thronged with merrymakers. Festivities began with a series of dances under an inclos- ure with bamboo sides, roofed over with palm leaves. The women had on their "huipils'' and most gorgeous shirt waists and "enaguas," which were offset to ad- vantage by the clean white cotton suits of the men. There was very tolerable band which, however contented itself with playing the same tune all the time. r was a waltz. Each waltz lasted in- termnable length of time, and was danced by the Indians from beginning to end with bare feet on an earth floor. There were no collisions. and the most perfect step was kept throughout. The fact that the heat of the ballroom was stifling did not seem to initiate at all against the success Of the dance. The fnclosure was crowded with young cou- pies, while on the outside an admiring audience stood on the threshold of the doorway and peered through the chinks between the bamboo slaves all the way round, thus effectually keeping out any stray breath of air. By an heroic effort yoJs Will I watched one whole dance through and then withdrew, my sense of smell having reached the limit of human en- durance. The odor was awful for on these occasions considerable quantities of rlescal. tequilla and other vicious drinks are consumed, and the resulting fumes waited through a tropical atmosphere rendered doubly warm by the perspiring 'nlultitude, were altogether unbearable.

A Tehuantepec Dance

Many years ago a vessel was wrecked of the Pacific coast near Tehuantepee
 Among other things washed ashore was small chld's froc1i. Tic 'Tehiiana fri- dians discovered it, and, never having seen anything of the kind before, sup posed it to be some sort of headgear, and that the proper way to wear it was to place the bottom of the frock ovef the head. The style. appealed so strongly
 to their senses of the artistic that it was al once adopted and to this day the
 huips' are made after this same pat tcrn, the rear view showing the pers feet neck and arms of tthe little girls frocl. ~, fE
