age, mysteriously disappeared in July,
1909, and has never been heard of
since. And so impressed was the pas
senger with the vision that he left the
vessel at Durham, from which point
she continued on her iii fated voyage
Thus one more was added to the ex-
traordinary condolences in which
dreams have figured.
The third Lord Waterford was able
to verify a story of an extraordinary
dream coming true. Talking one day
with the landlord of the inn In the vii
lage close to Curraghmore, a man
rushed up and said there had been a
murder on the hills. "Then it must be
the little one," said the landlord, at
which Lord Waterford, not nnatural-
ly. became very suspicious. The land.
lord proceeded to explain that in the
night he dreamed that two men had
come to the inn and that the taller of
the two had murdered the shorter
with very curious knife.
He told his dream to his wife, who
laughed at him. But, to his horror,
the men he had seen while asleep
came to the inn, and one used the curl
GUS knife to cut up his food. They
left. and soon afterward news of the
murder arrived. Search was made for
a tall man answering to the landlords
description. and one was quickly ar
rested. In prison he confessed he had
murdered his short companion.-Pear

The Cowboys Handkerchief.

"Have you ever wondered why the
cowboy pictures by painters who have
made study of western life depict
the man of the plains with his red
bandanna halfway down on his chest
instead of fitting snugly around his
neck" queried q ranch owner of Cali
fornia
I'll tell you. When a cowboy starts
on a long ride over the plains one of
his principal annoyances is having to
wipe dust from his eyes. His heavy
gauntlets make it impossible to use
his hands, and he ties his handkerchief
loosely around his neck and when
occasion requires uses it to clear his
eyes. 1t is the most convenient place
to carry the handkerchief while riding
horse. ."-Washington Post.

Mental Changes Of the Fiery cors,ean

When he was an artillery officer his
writing was simple and legible. as his
life was simple and direct. But when
the Corsican Captain Bonaparte dis

has been called "a furious illegibility."
Curiously enough. from that time
there seems to have been a gradual
degeneration until. profoundly discour-
aged and utterly Inundated, he
scratched an undecipherable, mis-
spelled scrawl of submission to the
prince regent on July IA, 1915.
1t is said that this change from q
simple to confused writing began at
a certain date-namely. with a report,
skillfully garbled. of the part he took
in what Carlyle called the "whiff of
grapeshot that spoke from the steps of
st. Roch on the 18th Vendemaire"
(Oct. 5. 1795).
The eliminating eecentricity of his
tortuous strokes Of the pen was exhib-

would unhesitatingly declare war
against the first conner, who would di-
vorce the wife he loved, who would
propose kingdom Of Haiti for Louis
XVIII, who would freeze nearly
million men upon the steppes of Rus

LEGEND OF THE
WILLOW PATTERN

Every collector Of rare old china knows
the willow pattern one Of the most
sought after Of all the china antiques.
There are a great many. however, who are
not familiar with the love legend attached
to the two blue and white doves winging
their flight across the blue and white
bridge which is a conspicuous part Of the
decoration. The story is a Chinese one
because the first willow plate came from
China. It runs as follows:
A beautiful Chinese girl, named koong-
Shee. loved her fathers secretary. Chang.
who was poor. Because her father wanted
her to marry rich man, and because she
would not give up the poor secretary, he
sent her to live in little house at the end
OF the garden. Outside KOong-Shee's
window was a willow tree. and just be-
yOnd, a fruit tree. KoOng-Shee sat all
day watching it bloom.
One day when she was most unhappy,
Chang found a cocoanut shell to which
he attached sail. In it he placed a.
letter asking his sweetheart to fly with
him. The shell sped across the lake where
koong-Shee sat watching. She read the
letter and answered that she would go if
he would be brave enough to come for
her. q
Then Chang went boldly up to the little
house and took her away. They had to
cross q bridge to leave the garden AS
they were half way across Koong-Shee's
father saw them and sent out an alarm
The girl went first. with her distaff,
Chang followed her with her jewel case
and behind came the father with whip.
The lovers escaped however, to a little
house across the lake, where they lived
happily. Finally one day the rich man
who wanted koong-Shee for his wife,
and who hated her for refusing him.
found out whore she lived. He set fire
to the pretty little house and koong-Shee
and Chang died together.

When Cupid scatters his handful OF

Of the BRIDE to-be begin to think OF
announcement parties-pretty little
compliments to the girl about to as
sumo the more serious duties Of life.
Money is not 80 essential as original
ity to the success of q party Of this
kind. The clever hostess finds some in
expensive way Of paying the tribute.
Above all things she makes the AFFAIR
as intimate and as free from formality
as possible.
One girl invited twelve Of her closest
quite usual. Ice cream appeared IN
variety of flower molds-roses, lilies.
daisies. buttercups and the like. At the
very last came an ice cream pride,
standing cool and straight with her
frozen train and papier-mache veil
When this odd delicacy was served to
the chum of the hostess the guests
fastened to extend congratulations.
Another hostess had the monographs
of the engaged couple in opposite cor
ners OF the place cards, which were
tiny water colors done in Cupids and
rose garlands. Printed In gold letters
at the bottom were the words Love Il
ALL" And the bushes OF the bride-to-be
quite SuDStdntlateQ the pretty senli-
ment.
At another luncheon English wal
nuts tied with pink ribbons were
placed at each plate. When the guests
were seated they were invited to unite

in front of them on the table. Each
slip Of paper contained letter. When
completed they spelled Edith and
Howard" the first names Of the bride
and the bridegroom-to-be. On the slip

Still another girl. whose chum had
quite a romantic courtship. utilized a
grap1ophone in a novel way. She wrote
out little story Of the romance, went
to shop where records were made
and read 1t for an impression. lust
before the guests were invited in to
dinner she asked them to listen to a
true tale told by Dan Cupid. and the
whole story Of the pretty affair came
as a complete surprise.
