A Vivid Picture,

OF all "aptitudes," the mechanical
is least likely TO manifest itself in a
feminine brain. The young woman
whose visit to locomotive works Is
described in Young's Magazine, was
doubtless interested in what she saw,
but her account Of the processes OBJ,
served leaves the reader to doubt her
entire understanding of them.
"You pour" she told friend, "a lot
of sand into lot Of boxes. and you
throw old stove lids and things into
a furnace. and then you turn the red
hot stream into hole in the sand. and
everybody yells and shouts.
Then you pour it out. let 1t cool
and pound it, and then you put In II
a thing that bores holes in it. Then
you screw it together, and paint it,
and put steam in it, and it goes splen
didly, and they take it to drafting
room and make blueprint of it.
But one thing l forgot-They have
to make a boiler. One man gets in
side and one gets outside, and they
pound frightfully, and then they tie Il,
to the other thing, and you ought to
see it go!"-Youth's Companion.

FAIR CHEEKS ARE NO MORE
Tint of the Gypsy Has Replaced the
So Long Familiar apple Bios
som" Effects.

Parisiennes have adopted a new
complexion 1t is no longer fashion
able to have lily white cheeks or to
blanche the face like Pierrot. To be
chic" one must have a brown tint
like a gypsy.
A Partisan reception will wear pres
emily the air of a collection Of col
onial beauties and sportswomen. And
yet there is no sacrifice of refinement
or elegance in the new fad. A change
of flesh color has not entailed a
change in the fit and fashion of the
dress. The French woman will still
be impeccably clothed notwithstand-
ing that her pallor and indoors look
have departed, leaving a faint touch
Of tan.
We muct make our adieux to roses
and cream" to apple blossom" to the
clear spring mornings and fair
moonbeams." 1t is the imagery Of
the poets, but it is no longer true
Gone is the immaculate body of the
sculptor as an object of alteration; in
it's place we shall address our odes
to the dusky queens There is a new
war of the roses; the white have been
defeated by the red.

Finding the Drowned.

Occasionally one reads that, when
human bodies are thought to be in riw
ers and cannot be found, "a loaf OF
bread has been foated down tho
stream" But very few people have
the least idea what connection there
is between bread and the finding oil
bodies. When the river has been
dragged without result, loaf Of bread
is cut in two, place followed out in
the middle, and a quantity Of quick
silver inserted. The two halves OF
the loaf are then fastened together
again, and the bread is thrown into
the water in the place where the body
is supposed to be. Without fail the
loaf floats along until it reaches tho
vicinity of the body, and then revolver
quickly. lowering over the spot.

MATERIAL IS NOT ALL
LINES OF THE BLOUSE AN ALL
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION.
Dainty Neeclework and Fine Fabrics
lnartistically Put Together viii
Not Satisfy the Woman Of
Fastidious Taste.

The woman who loves to do dainty
needlework can turn out very attrac-
tive blouses at much less expense
than similar models would cost in the
shops; but it should be remembered
that dainty needlework and fine
fabrics are not all that is required to
make up a wearable blouse Several
costly materials may be combined
with exquisite nicely VI stitchery, yet
the effect of the completed blouse
may be hopelessiy bad, and quite i'm
possible to the woman who aims to
dress ineXpensively, with perfect taste
and some degree of smartness. As in
ALI forms of costumes nowadays. lines
are the important consideration in the
separate waist, and If the lines are
not right, the most costly of materials
Will not make it smart. In fact, the
more of such materials loaded upon
the model the more will the effect APP
proach that taste which is Familiarity
known as dowdy.
There ar1 three distinct varieties of
blouses to select frou-the costume

combination of fabrics: the shirt of
tub silk for wear with tailored suits.
and the tub blouse of ordinary wash
able lingerie material! Blouses of the
last named character are easy to fash
ion, and may be made dainty with a
very little real lace with fine pin
tucks set in by hand or with touches
Of hand embroidery-only touches, for
a great amount Of hand embroidery is
not considered smart just now, and
scallops or dots used in conventional
manner are better liked than spraw-
ling floral patterns. Very sheer cot
ton wolfe, handkerchief linen, or fine
grade of dotted Swiss will make at
tractive blouses of this sort.
A silk shirt may be of white or
striped tub silk, of washable satin or
of crepe de chine. The white crepe
de chine shirts, with plated frills and
rundown collars and edged with fine
cording, are the favorites. and such

She was close to the overhanging

her about the waist. and pulled her

This remark was given merely to
cover embarrassment, but 1t had an
unexpected effect.
You do?" cried the minister The
next moment he was alone. Grace Van
Horne had vanished in the gloom of
the pine thickets.
1t was a strange John Ellery who
walked slowly back along the path. He
saw nothing real. and heard nothing,
not even the excited person who, hid
den behind the bayberry bush, hailed
him as he passed. 1t was not until
this person rushed forth and seized
him by the arm that he came back to
the unimportant affairs of this mate
rial earth.
'Why! Why Mr.. Pepper!" he
gasped. Are you here? What do you
want?"

"Why, what's the matter?"
"You-you made me do It," guarded
Ryan. Eyes, sir, twas you put me up

STREETS OF LONDON
Nearly All of Them Were Named
After Someone.
Each Has a Meaning, but Owing to
MisspeIing, Etc, 1t Is impossible
to Conjecture Their Original
Purport.

London.-Those who are most IA
ably think least about their history.
But the strSaSes who ct rarn inter
walls, or possibly for the 1ret time In
his life, visits the metropolis, must
often speculate as to the origin OF
this or that thoroughfare. or wonder
how some of the curiously-named
streets he passes through came by
their names. Since 1t has always
been the custom In this country to
name the ways of towns and cities
after somebody or something, one may
be sure that every one of the names
OF London streets once had a special
meaning. though that meaning has so
much lost it's point in the course of
time, or the original spelling has been
so corrupted, that it is now in many
cases practically impossible even to
conjecture the original purport of
the place-names OF the metropolis.
Many London thoroughfores, like
many a country village, probably owe
their names to the existence of some
nOSlBiTy III the lmHeuldle utiSnDOI-
hood, and around which, in course of
time, other houses were built, so that
at last street was formed. Hanging
Sword alley, off Whitefriars street,
and Catherine Wheel alley, near Liv-
erpool street station, no doubt OBJ
tanned their names in this manner.
Gracechurch street city. is said to
have had nothing whatever 10 do
with that particular virtue in the be-
ginning. and perhaps there is no
more of it there nowadays than there
used to be. 1t was originally spelled
"Grass-church." because Of the grass
that once grew along its edges, or on
account of the fact that vendors Of
herbs dwelt there.
Holborn is another corruption of a
perfectly different word. Originally
It was "Old Bourne" or Hill Bourne"
so-called from the stream which broke
out near where Holborn Bars after
ward stood, and ran down the side OF
the street to the Fleet river. From
the latter. as every one may suppose.
Fleet street took its name. And as a
final example of the corruption OF

names, brought about by loose re-
gard for spelling and pronunciation,
one may instance the Barbican, which,
as we are assured, is an easy render
ing of the old word "burk- kenning"
watch tower.
1t is a little difficult in these days
to believe that the area about Char
ing Cross was no more than little
village in the time of Edward l.
Opinions differ as to the first mean
ing of the word Gross" attached to
the name of this hamlet, but 1t ia
cation that is to be discovered in 9TH
er cases of the kind in London and
the country.
There have probably been cross
roads here from time immemorial. but
1t is said that in the case of Charing
Cross there was more specific rea-
son. Edward l is stated to have
erected a cross in memory of his
queen on the spot where the statue
Of Charles was afterward set up.
Piccadilly, If we may believe the
usual explanation given for its curious
name, was so called because the first
person to build house in that
neighborhood was interested in plea
d!lloes." by which name the stiff col
lars or ruffs formerly worn were orig
ipally known
Abundant evidence as to the marshy
nature of the ground upon which a
large part of the city of London was
originally built is still to be discov-
cred in such names as Frenchchurch
street, Finbury and Moorflelds.

leading from the sitting room toward
the ell at the side Of the house. This
hall was almost pitch black.
"Here-here, it's" painted Ryan.
Here's the door. l don't hear nothin',
do you? Listen!"
They listened Not sound, save
the dismal tick Of the clock in the
room they had left. Ellery knocked
on the door.

per, are you there?"
Silence, absolute. Abishai could
stand it no longer. He groaned and

"She has!" he moaned. "She done
it and there amt nothin' in there but
her remains. Oh, my SOUL"

After repeated orders and accom-
panying shakings, Ryan produced a

his trembling fingers, felt for the key.

RICH EVENING CL0AKS WORN
chasubIe Design Considered very
Smart, Though Those With Trains
Have a Following.

The chasuble coat, subjected to
adaptations and constructing bands be-
low the waist is very smart So also
is the cope-shaped shoulder wrap Of
nlain fur, which can be worn over the
evening cloak and retained when the
cloak is left A delightful evening
wrap follows rather the shape of the
cardinals robe and is carried out in
chiffon velvet. The wide, plain shout
ders are very effective.
Trained evening cloaks are coming
in. another instance of the impractic-
able way in which most fashions are
designed. A cloak should never touch
the ground anywhere, and when it is
designed for evening wear, and is
therefore likely to have long gown
beneath 1t which has to be held up on
leaving theaters and restaurants, it
ought also to be so arranged that the
fulness of the skirt can be brought
round in the ; and to the front, where
the cloak opens.

CHAPTER Viii.
In Which Miss Daniels Determines to
Find Out.


Find Out.
The hysterical Mr.. Pepper doubtless
expected his clergyman to be almost
as much upset as he was by the news
of his action. But John Ellery was
provokingly calm.
Hush! Hush!" he commanded.
"Wait minute. Let me understand
this thing. Some one is locked up,
you say. Who is 1t? Where"
"Who is it? Amt 1 tellin' you. It's
Laviny. She went into that spare room
where was t'other day and slammed
the spring lock to on her. Then l
grabbed the key and run. That was
afore three this afternoon; now it's
most night and l amt dast to go
home. Whatll she say when let her
out? I got to let her out, amt l? She
can't starve to death in there, can
she? And you told me to do it! You
did! Oh"
well, then, l don't see why you
can't go home and-hum-I don't like
to advise your telling lie, but you
might let her infer that it was an ac-
cident Or, if you really mean to be
your own master, you can tell her you
did it purposely and will do it again if
she ever tries the trick on you"
Il tell her that! l tell her! o Mr.
Ellery, don't talk so. You don't know
Laviny; she amt like most women.

shirts usually have turned back cuffs
provided with link buttons, which
match the buttons used on the front
of the garment.
There are also many attractive
blouses being shown of white silk
brocade or white charmeuse. These
blouses are usually made quite simple
of line, and in some cases have the
turned down Robespierre collar and
mannish, four-in-hand tie and turned

Muffs and StoIes.

There appears to be no limit to the
size of muffs and stoles this season.
but the wise woman will see that the
lining of her granny muff is ruched
up so as to leave but small aperture
for the hands; otherwise she will de-
rive but little advantage from the
fur as far as warmth is concerned.
The long. wide stoles are without
doubt both useful and becoming arti-
cles, and can be worn in many ways
which insure the maximum amount of
graceful appearance.

Shoes and Short Skirts

The modern short skirt should make
a woman very keen about her shoes,
she should learn the modes and OBJ
serve them, she should be willing to
be extravagant even, in footwear, and
should she hesitate let her scrutinize
the shoes of others, and their trans
gressions will be an effective aid to
speedy elimination of any carelessness
in that line in herself.

Owing to his recent accident in Cali

never be seen on the stage again, and
for that reason extra interest attaches
to his characterization of 'Fagin'' in a
motion picture drama tization of Dick

tion he is supported by the same cast
as appeared with him in this piece at
