In the Atlantic, called the Sargasso

weeds, and day after day we passed
through large patches that were
spread all over the ocean as far as the
eye could see. About five p. m. on

ical fish with singing tenacles), some
just appearing like huge bubbles with
their sails set, rejecting all the hues

his wife affects, domesticity or clubs.
and whether or not he is happy in his
home and living within his income,
She can go to a social function
where there are 20 women she never
saw before, and come back with al
inventory of what each one wore, how
much it cost, whether any part of the
costume was made over" wha;
changes it needed to make it really
becoming, and whether the wearer
could afford it.

this information she can write down

and asparagus shortcake that she
picked up at the same gathering.

BUST IS THAT OF AMERICAN
Identity of Model, Long Puzzle to
Parisians, Has at Last Esen
Cleared Up.

The. mysterious bust discovered in
the Boulevard de la Chapelle, Paris,
has at last been identified. .aPerched
on top of a one-story shop like a senti-
mel on chimney, it attracted only a
momentary glance from the hurried
passer-by and was then forgotten.
Lincoln Warde, an American tourist,
recognized his ccuntryman, in this
oddly placed monument and is able
to give the details which follow. This
bust is of the late William Smith
Garner, one-time member of the board
of trade of Jacksonville, Fla, who
dedicated his fortune and his life to
the defense of the oppressed. After
his death a committee was formed to
erect a monument to him, and NJ
Dreyfus, the president, engaged a
young American sculptor by the name
of Furgott, who was then living in
Paris, to make the bust.
When the Civil war broke out, Fur
gott hurried home to enlist, leaving
the bust in his studio. He was killed
in the war and Dreyfus suffered like
fate.
In these circumstances the commit
tee either abandoned or else forgot
about the commission and the bust
was left to its strange fate. No
claims being made or arrangements
undertaken for it's transfer, it was
finally sold by the occupants of the
studio and eventually became the prop
erty Of the proprietor of the tiny shop
on this boulevard near the Eastern
railway station.
