How lovely the lilacs lean,
How gracefully the lilacs nod;
Above the vernal gold and green
or the soft garden sod,
And Row adown the twilight tides
Their delicate perfume drifts and
strays,
Recalling poignantly the ides
OF long evanished Mays

Emerald green handkerchiefs are
the very latest novelties for feminine
wear.
Made OF silk with a hemstitched
edge, the handkerchief is the don't
mating model OF the moment, even
though there be many rivals. Its
most doughty competition is the
white one Of lilliputian size. also
made Of silk and finished with tiny
hemstitcred edge.
II is pretty notion to announce
the lining OF a coat by the color OF
the handkerchief tucked into the
front pocket OF the jacket \ dark
blue serge coat with an emerald green
lining has the collar emphasized by q
handkerchief of the same tint
Many of the new blouses for morn
ing wear have breast pockets, and
into these a tiny handkerchief may
be tucked with one corner protrud'
ing. TIE special advantage of the
silk handkerchief is that II takes ~
very little room and has rather
masculine air that accords with th'
habit OF the tailor.madc shirt. II Is
a trifle more FOR show than for use
Indeed. il is wise to tack II into the
pocket.

The Springfield herald., 1912-05-31

believe for a moment that he stole the
jewels, although his father, his uncle,
or his own brother may have done SO.
Your reward may tempt him to return
them If the police set up hue and
cry; but IL he suggests that you go up
in the old town to receive them tell
him you will do nothing Of the sort.
There are far too many dark eyes and
sharp knives there for an English
mans taste. and Moor still has
claims in Paradise for every Frank he
sticks. II you took the other course.
and sought your money from this ho-
tel keeper. he would bring a hundred
to swear that you did not lose the
stones in the hotel and you would be
where you are. It's annoying to adopt
a laissez aller policy. but l fear you
can do nothing else"
I thought that he was right, but my
habitual obstinacy was all upon me,
and l found myself as much deter
mined to recover. the jewels had lost
as If they had been worth 10000. I
was quite sure that the police would
do nothing, and save that they in
formed me in cumbrous document
that they had searched the house of
Mohammed, the porter, and of five
others, my surmise proved true one.
1t was left to Sidi and for Sidi l wait
ed on the morning of the ninth day
with an expectancy which was unwar-
rantably large. He came to me at
his usual hour. eight o'clock. and
when he had salaamed, he said:
"If Allah is willing the Jewel is
found-but the money is not enough"
mot enough" said I, choking, al
most, with anger, the money is not
enough! Why, you brazen-faced
blackguard, what do you mean?"
He replied with an appeal to the
beard of the prophet and an evident
word of contempt for my commercial
understanding. The irony of the
whole situation was so great and his
immobility so stupendous that l
quickly forbore my anger and said:
very well, Sidi. we will make it
1 500 francs" And with that he went
off again and / saw him no more un-
til the next day, when he repeated the
incha Allah and the intimation that
the price was too low. On this occa-
sion my anger overcame me. l seized
