Peacock Pfursce

However much milliners may ad- mire the plumage of the peacock and however much they may desire the money it brings. superstition prevents many Of them from using it.
 Rather than give peacock feathers house room would lose my best GUS toner" one miliiner declared. q have done it more than once Women who want their own materials made up have brought peacock trimming, and when positively refused to handle it they went away angry and looked for somebody else to work up their pea cock feathers. But no doubt they had a long chase, because two-iadrds of the milliners feel just as I do about peacock feathers
 "But whyw asked a woman who carried peacock feather in her hand bag. H

CHAPTER XXVU.
MT. Reece Returns.

Four days later, Sir Reginald, Eve- lyn, and Harry Vane were sitting at dinner at the Hall. Vane was now so frequent visitor that he was more like a member of the family than a guest; and he had availed himself of Sir Reginald's permission to examine and take drawings of the old tower and wing, and spent some hours of each day in doing so He was very much interested in the work, and so also, 1t would appear, was Evelyn indeed, she had been constituted by him, or had constituted herself, kind of unpaid assistant.
 They had spent great deal of time together; Evelyn found archaeo- logy an absorbing study, and she was never so happy as when she was helping Vane to take measurements. looking over his shoulder while he made sketches, or listening to him as she sat near him, engaged in a piece of fancy-work which must have been of very elaborate description, judg- ing by the slowness of its progress. Their talk was not always of archi- lecture and the antique. They often spoke of Ronald, and wondered what he was doing, why they had not heard from him lately; sometimes they even talked of themselves; for, with the gentle cunning of her sex, Evelyn lured Vane to recount some of his ad- ventures.

Under these circumstances and this new phase of the situation, the ruby might indeed earn it's title and be fatal to its possessor. What should he do with it? He had almost de- cided to fling it into the sea, or drop it down the grating of the nearest gutter, when an idea occurred to him -one of those ideas which strike the brain like a flash of lightning. He strengthened himself, and laughed a short laugh of satisfaction and pride in his own ingenuity, finished his packing, paid his bill, and drove to the railway station en route for Eng land.

No Paprika In Her Bones.

"A Hungarian restaurant in New York became famous for it's culinary triumphs, and many visitors to the city became acquainted there with the mysterious dishes produced in Hunga- rian Kitchens. In one of these parties several years ago was young matron from the far west, who, anxious to ex- tend her culinary knowledge and see ing how her husband relished one of the courses of the meal, asked the head waiter for the recipe for the dish.
 q can give it to you, madam" was the courteous reply, "but you can't make it."
 "And why not?'' asked the sightseer.
 Because you must be Hungarian. It might come right for an Austrian, but an American never: You must have paprika in your bones." And, taking that high ground, the request was refused.-New York Tribune.
