HER NEW HUSBAND
An Old Man Marries Young Girl,
That He May Teach
Her Wisdom.

Mam'Zel Lisette Guitard was weep
Ing in the hyacinth beds, and Monsieur
CASTOR Drouet wept, too, /unreseryed-
ly. But then he was only twenty-five
-four years older than Nam zelle,
nevertheless. Outside the night air
was fragrant with the odor Of hya-
cinths and jonquils, and the moon
shone as brightly as it always shines
in New Orleans in spring-that is to
say, twice as brightly as anywhere
else.
Ma'mzelle had stolen out of the
house in which her father and mother
and the two uncles and the maiden
aunt and Sister 'Toinette and Brother
Robert and the four bridesmaids and
the ushers were busily rehearsing the
part that they were to play at Mann
2elle's wedding on the morrow. Mon
sieur Thiboult was fifty-seven and
enormously rich, and it was to be a
fashionable affair Ma'mzelle did not
love Monsieur Thiboult, but her pa
rents did.
Poor Gaston!" she murmured, lay
ing her warm hand upon his icily cold
one. Tonight we must say goodby
for ever"
And. being only eighteen, she could
not help but feel thrill of romance
in the sadness of the separation.
"Angel! Beloved! Adored one!"
exclaimed the young man. Il cannot
let you 60. Come with me now and
let us be married somewhere. You
do not love him, that old pig Of a

Whenever Doctor Eversley's name

very frequently.

Plain, quiet Nettie smiled to her

that the doctor had made quite a

Eversley had taken decided fancy to
her. Nettie was, in fact, very close
to the doctor; something in their ma

seen through the feigned illness Of
several young ladies who had called
for her brothers professional care.
She had laughed over these plausible
subterfuges with Nettie.

THEIR new DOCTOR
Excitement in Mayville When Old

ev MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD
RIDGE.

There was great excitement In the
social circles Of Mayville when the
successor to the practice OF old DIR.
Cyrus Dali arrived. For forty years
the latter had been the chosen physi-
clan of the town. When he had sold
his practice to Dr. Brian Eversley, a
young, handsome and wealthy men,
Der of the profession, all Mayville was
agog, and speculation and gossip held
the various social coteries in q kind Of
pleasant thrall.
The young doctor had purchased
The Oaks, a beautiful estate near the
edge of the village. A maiden sister
was to be his housekeeper. When q
new automobile and some wonderful
house furnishings arrived, Miss Cyrille
Rushton, aged thirty, but passing for
twenty-five, as the real leader Of the
real social set of Mayville, was said
to brighten up at chance to once
more angle for husband. When 1t
was further announced that the young
physician was philanthropically in

of the Ladies' Aid society, was In
transports of anticipation and delight
The young doctor arrived, and he
was not disappointment. He was
something more than handsome

was pleased at the gracious attentions
of Miss Rushton, and 1t seemed to
interest him to listen to the ceaseless
chatter of Miss Dorman. High 30

SEPARATE COATS MUCH WORN
Popularity Of one-Piece Dress Makes
Their Adoption Almost Matter
Of Necessity.

More separate coats are being
worn this season than ever before, the
reason being, perhaps. that since
many women have found the simple
one-piece dresses SO becoming and
useful they find 1t necessary to have
an outer wrap to wear with them. The
separate coats and one-piece gowns
will not take the place of the suits
or the three-piece costumes, but they
are useful In another way and for
other occasions and are being espe-
cially favored for young girls wear
There Is a complete change In the
style Of these separate coats. both in
the material Of which they are made
and the cut of the garment from the
top coats of last year. BY their col
lars you shall know them may we'll
be said Of this seasons coats, for the
collars indicate the style Of the gar
ment. The Robespierre influence Is
to be observed in many Of them, the
sailor with short lapels In front Is
much worn and there are also coats
made with high choker bands. Plush
and velvet are used for most Of these
collars, but fur also Is employed, al
though as a rule the coat Is more USE
full without the fur. A fur garment
must usually be substituted for 1t In
the coolest weather, 80 that 1t should
be regarded as a garment to be worn
for the milder winter weather and
between seasons.
The coats are many Of them made
three-quarter length and have the
fashionable cutaway fronts. The
rounding of the fronts may occur we'll
toward the lower edge Of the garment
or may continue up above the waist
line. This is decided by what is be-
coming to the individual. The bands
of the coats are cut in one piece,
there being only two seams, those
under the arms.
Materials for the top coats include
velour de laine, chinchilla, beaver
cloth, astrakhan cloth and numerous
other thick soft cloths, generally with
soft woolly surfaces. The garments
are much more universally becoming
than the polo coat Of last season.

WORLD LANGUAGE OF SIGNS
Sir William Ramsay Has Plan to Ose
Pictorial Characters Based on
Chinese.

To make possible the exchange OF
Ideas among all peoples Of the world
Sir William Ramsay, the English
scientist, has begun to develop a pic.
torial sign language, based somewhat
upon Chinese, which he hopes Will
eventually spread among all races.
The Chinese character to express
man." for instance, is made with two
converglng lines that represent SIM
ply his legs, looking much like the
legs of the crude man that the school.
boy draws.
Sir Williams character goes further
and adds vertical straight line above
the converging lines to represent the
body.
THE first thing that one thinks Of"
he argues, 'is existence expressed In
the verb to be-"
So he has selected the arithmetical
equality mark to denote existence. All
things relating to ones state and con.
dition, he said, can be expressed by
these two parallel lines.
For time which stretches away, or
action that Is constant he uses dash
Instantaneous time or action he repre-
sents with dot Thus a dot placed
squarely between and In the middle Of
two lines of the equality mark de-
notes the immediate present, or 81
am" Similarly the dot, when placed
at the left and between the two lines
denotes past, or 81 was" and when
placed to the right indicates the fu-
ture tense, or 81 am to be-"
To denote a woman Sir William
draws line closing the diverging
ends of the legs Of the sign for man.
On the theory that 81" Is the most i'm
portant thing In the world to any
man, Sir William utilizes the straight
vertical line that represents the body
of his man figure to depict the word
