~U luncheon, for the steamer
H0 was still in the channel. and
the choppy waves had small
effect on the huge bulk of the liner.
Even when the channel should be
passed and the heavy swell of the At
lantic should be encountered there
would be little motion and few Ill, but
today every seat was taken. Mason
Hawley. coming late purposely, scan
ned the crowd eagerly, then sank into
his seat. his face clouded by disap-
pointment.
Hawley. despite a fund of CONNER
cial common sense that had enabled
him to score business success. was
superstitious in many ways. He had
been guest on houseboat just be-
fore sailing, and a wet day had been
beguiled with fortune telling and SINH
lar devices of the rain imprisoned
The seer had been a young woman
whose brunette beauty seemed to sus-
tain her statement that the blood of
the Zingari flowed in her veins.
Adroit guessing, supplemented by
positive knowledge In the form OF hints
from the host, had enabled her to read
accurately Hawley's past, so when she
had reached the future he had listened
open cared and believing while she
predicted that on the homeward voy-
age he would meet his fate.
sShe will be on the steamer" the
girl had predicted you will become
engaged before the steamer reaches
port, and you will live happy ever
After.
His reason for taking a vacation had
been Betty Lippincott's treatment
After lively pursuit all season Miss
Lippincott had withdrawn the favor
she had shown Hawley and mad be-
come engaged to Dudley Hodge, who
had come upon the scene only a few
weeks before.
Now the words Of the seeress
brought him new hope She had pre-
dicted that he would meet his fate on
the steamer and '1ive happy ever aft
er" He knew that he could not be
happy except with Betty, and Of course
that meant that Betty would be on the
homeward bound ship.
But Betty's name was not to be
found on the passenger lists, nor was
Betty's pretty self to be found in the
dining saloon, and Hawley regarded
discontentedly the usual crowd of
homegoing schoolteachers and tourists
who at that season were In the ma
jority.
There were half dozen pretty girls,
girls above the average in good looks,
but Hawley told himself miserably
that no one who had loved Betty could
ever love one Of these commonplace
persons.
When they had spoken the lightship
and there were signs of home Hawley
grew worried. He did not question the
workings Of fate, but he knew that
only an accident would precipitate an
engagement now By the following
day they should be in port, and there
was no time for conventional WOO
ing.
He stayed on deck long after the
lights were extinguished He had
made friends with the officers, and

DOG FARMS IN MONGOLIA.
Skins of CANNES Raised For Purpose
Used In Doornats.

Sixty-five thousand black New

chwang mats. in fact. are nothing more
than mats made from the skins of dogs

Real skins and real furs are becom-
ing so scarce that a huge trade is grow

the market. When you are buying a
NeYchwang mat you are told that it
is new variety of bearskin. The sim
pie fact is that genuine skins are be-
coming more difficult to get and SUBJ

There are hundreds of farms special
ly devoted to dog raising in Mongolia.
Most of the dogs are killed when only
n year old. and their skins sent by
thousands all over the world

In Germany, however, the house

asset in case the family fortunes are
not fourishing. There are dealers there
always willing to pay for catskins. the
very commonest tabby skin fetching

lent rugs, pure Maltese or tortoise shell
fetching high prices. Many of them
are dyed and used as the lining for

WATERING THE PLANTS.
Things Worth Remembering In Order
to Insure Best Results.

to Insure Best Results.
tor in plant growth. Plants can en-
dure great extremes in temperature
where corresponding extremes in mois-
ture would kill them. Water should
be given only when needed and then
in such quantities that the soil will be
soaked.
Always consider the kind of plants
you are watering. Soft stemmed ones,
especially those with large leaves, need
much more water than hard wooded,
slow growing kinds. While the for
latter usually suffer permanent injury
from extremes
The character of the soil is impor-
tant. Heavy clay soils easily sour,
while very light, loamy soils dry out
quickly, and unless carefully watched
the plants will soon wilt. In either
case it is better to water thoroughly
when needed than to water sparingly
and more often.
Plants not in active growth should
be watered sparingly until they have
regained their foliage. Watering in
the evening just before dark will great
Iy encourage the growth of fungous
diseases
shines on the foliage will burn the
plants. Shading during excessive heat
will strengthen plants and help them
to retain moisture.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Woman and the Household
ECONOMY IN NEGLIGEEs.
Handy Home NeedIewoman Can Easily
Make These Garments


The handy home needlewoman can
make her negligees-bath robe, dress
ing sack reakfast jacket and plain
and fancy kimono-and will be sur
prised at the results patient work will
accomplish in the necessary garments
included under this head With the
exception of the bath robe, which al
ways is plain, the fancy is allowed
wide latitude without the danger Of
criticism Pretty negligees bought at
bargain prices can be converted into
beautiful creations with the assistance
of odds and ends of silk which would
be an expensive item if purchased by
the yard. Combined with lace and rib
bon, one finds she has enough for a
waist or dress.
When making negligees the seams.
whether of silk, cotton or wooden
goods, are all made with the French
fell, except when using very heavy
materials, such as are employed for
bath robes. The seams of such goods
are finished with a fat fell or they are
pressed open and the edge bound with
a narrow strip of sheer lawn or silk
galoon
Banding is a popular finish for the
neck, front and sleeves OF kimonos and
is usually cut from a contrasting mate
rial. 1t is applied as a facing. Sleeves
are completed before they are sewed
in, and the armholes are finished in the
same way as those of a nightgown-
Featherstitching and French knots
are much used as finish on all gar
ments of this character. On plain gar
ments intended for utility this hand
work is usually arranged to outline the
facing or banding.

GAYNOR ON RECALL"
New York Mayor Believes in Revers.
ing Some Court Decisions.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. May Sex
Judge William j. Gaynor. mayor Of New
York, addressed the Yale Forum last
night on the topic, Are Our Courts
Standing in the Way of Social and Eco
nomic Justice-and If so. by What Au-
thority?" He declared that in some in
stances the courts had set aside good
laws Under the constitutional clause guar
anteeing that no man should be deprived
of his life. liberty or property except by
process of law. The remedy. he said, was
the recall of judicial decisions by consti-
tutional amendments. He said in part:
Let me say that / do not wish to
have what l say mixed up with the
question of the recall of public officials.
Our terms of Office. other than judicial,
are so short that there does not seem
to me any necessity for a recall We
can recall them quick enough at the end
But If there should be a recall of public
officials IL should include the judges
know of no reason to exclude them, es-
pecially in view of their long terms
Following the lines laid down by
Theodore Roosevelt. the mayor then re-
cited certain decisions of the great courts
holding invalid acts of the legislature of
New York which sought to limit hours
of labor.
The only way to nullify and stop
such decisions, he added is by con-
stitutional amendments as such decisions
occur. In my state we frequently over
rule judicial decisions by constitutional
amendment. If you WILL we recall judi
cial decisions, TO use the new word. And
the same Is done In all the states It
Ia very distressing to have to overrule
such decisions BY popular vote, but there
IL no other way to do it
