BLACK AND WHITE IS
STILL IN FASHION

The fashion of black and white has
by no means disappeared, and 1t con-
tinues to characterize some Of the
smartest costumes. Materials in equal
stripes of black and white are to be
seen in all the best shops, and a cos
tune in satin with these stripes looks
very smart, made especially for after
noon wear, with a short coat and a
draped skirt.
The collar and revers Of this coat
differ from the ordinary in being of
equal width all around ana fastening in
front with a large steel buckle. In
millinery black and white is as smart
as ever, and the new gauzes in black
and white stripes are much used for
trimming hats and making toques.

No. 1. MONT BLANC

A man, strongly built, but half-frozen
and breathing in short. difficult puffs.
was toiling and struggling across snow
and ice upward, ever upward, In the
teeth of a gale. He felt as If his lungs
wse gone and his chest empty. Every
ten steps he had to stop to get his
breath. And then on and on again.
though his cheeks and lips were frozen
black and his eyes half blind. He walk
ed with his head bent down to shield
his face from the wind. At length he
felt himself to be on a new peak. and
lifting his head he saw that at last
at last, after years Of longing and en-
deavor-he stood where no living crea-
ture had ever been before-the summit
OF Mont Blanc.
The man was jacques Balmat, and he
accomplished the conquest of Mont
Blanc in August, 1856. Alexandra Du-
mas has given us Balmats own story of
this ascent in his impressions of a
Journey Through Switzerland" In this
account Balmat says thay ne was ac-
companied by DR.. Paccard, who gave
out before the summit had been reached
and had TO be dragged up the rest Of
the way by Balmat, after he had already
reached the top once. This part OF the
story of the ascent is much doubted
nowadays 1t is believed that DR.. Pac-
card and Balmat reached the summit to-
gether, butt Balmat. wishing to have
the honor to himself of being the first
to conquer the mighty monarch OF the
Alps, twisted the story so that he alone
should receive all the credit.
He accomplished his desire; for al
though at Chamonix there is a hand
some bronze medallion set up to the
memory of Jacques Balmat by the
French Geographical Society; and al
though in the village by the banks OF
the rushing Arne stands a noble statue
of Balmat pointing out the way to the
top OF Mont Blanc to Saussure, whom
he guided there on his third ascent.
Michel Gabriel Paccard lies buried In
the village churchyard without even a
stone to mark his grave.
Mont Blanc. called Mont Maudit till
about 1850, rising to a height of b.U9
feet above sea level. is the center of a
great group of peaks and glaciers. This
colossus of Europe dominates the Alps,

Nv FRANCES sHAFFER.

He was a snub-nosed, freckled-all-over
little chap, with a merry grin In every
freckle; he was dressed in funny, nome
made clothes that ought to have been
laid aside long ago, and apparently ne
had nothing at all to commend him.
And the first morning he came into the
Office, where he had been newly engaged
as office bow he looked so comically lit
tie, so ridiculously important, and SO
Thoroughly good natured that some OF
the clerks almost laughed aloud Al
most but not quite, because that was an
office where they had not the habit OF
laughing. overmuch.
But he did not see the effect OF his
entrance-and mighty little difference II
would have made had he known all
about il. For he felt too big and al
ready too much a part of the concern
to bother his head over silly thing ike
that For hadn't he been told by the
boss himself that his pay would be "
a week, and hadn't he been chosen out
of a long line of boys, all better look
ing, better dressed than he?
And when he walked in that morning
he felt just like whistling and shout
ing a little bit toe. But he didn't.
Not Dismayed.
All he ventured. as he skipped by
the first desk, where a man sat poring
over DOCKS ana as oS -
could, was the cheeriest kind of good
morning with a smile that almost
reached from ear to ear. He spoke up
good and loud but the man did not seem
To hear him-at least, he never moved
his head But that did not dismay the
boy or drive into hiding his wholesome
good morning" All along the line he
went speaking to every one there. some
times rewarded with surprised re-
sponse. oftener with nothing at all. But
il was good morning" to him, whether
they felt so or not.
The next morning the clerks filed in,
one at a time, just as usual, and just
as usual they opened their desks with
out a word of good morning" If they
had anything to say. they said ii, but
that was the extent of their pleasantries,
and that was the way they started each
day
But that morning the funny little err
rand boy on duty the first of all, again
started in on his round of good morn

him, not half took any notice at all.
The next day. again the next, and for
many days after, the stub-nosed boy
never let a clerk escape HINT was
good morning for all, with fear or
favor. -
And at las they heard him; at least,
they answered. And when the freckle-
faced boy smiled in his whole-hearted
wav they actually smiled back at him.
And that was not all, for somehow,
the spirit of the snub-nosed boy, he
smile of him and the heart of him
passed along to the desks where those
clerks were sitting, and in the morn
ing they not only greeted and smiled
at the boy, but they greeted and
smiled at each other.
For the boy had given them the habit.
And he was a boy who knew not half
so mach as the first or the last OF
them about life's conventionalities II
was Just the warm boy heart that
prompted him.

be a feature, particularly as coat Innings
for velvet and fur. Yellow and orange are
also popular for this purpose. Much can
be expressed in a coat lining. Many OF
these Innings are works of art in them
selves and lining denotes proper appre-

the essential. A fascinating effect is no.

a little French chalk or gasoline to the
spot taking the precaution. however. to
insert underneath the material piece
