The train was tearing along at al
most bullet speed, and Professor Poly
dore could not repress an uncomfort-
| able feeling of the thought of what
would happen In case of a collision.
The stranger, in the seat opposite
J him, must have been occupied with
similar thoughts, for, after watching
| the flecking telegraph poles for a
while, he leaned over and, in an APP
prehensive tone, said, 81 do, for the

The professor bowed an acknowl-

kindly an interest that, although
many were of a purely personal char

replied the professor, Viewing his

And then, concluding that In any

man. he added:
However, il you believe that sc

The stranger held out his hands for

The mans intolerable vanity, con-

get upon Polydore's nerves, and he
decided to tell him the exact truth.

THE RITZ-CARLTON. PARIS, July
1S.-Paris IN summer, especially the
latter part OF July and all OF August,
is given over 10 the tourist. All the
"haute mode" is away at the French
summer resorts or at the country
houses.
However. when this letter is being
written. one sees some of the fash
ionables still fl the gayest city Of all
the world.
Fashions in hats and hair have
again begun TO change. Contrary to
the general opinion, one does not
jump abruptly from one mode into
another The present tight skirts and
large waists have been about eight
years in the process of evolution from
the wide skirt, the small waist and
the big hips period.
1t does not take quite so long. how
ever. 10 change the shape of a hat as
IL does the shape of a woman, so We
may look for the new hat and the
new hair modes TO come in univer-
sally by the spring styles. This win
ter you will see the extreme dressers
and many actresses who pride them
selves on being a little in front of the
procession with hats pushed way up in
the back and held there by the hair,
which is worn in high psyche knot
like ones in the sketches.
These hats are very piquant look
ing and / think the wearing of hats
of the kind illustrated will necessitate
a change in the sloppy carriage"
which now is SO popular. A hat
pushed down over ones eyes makes
one hold ones head up. Consequent
~ one cannot walk with the ugly
dropping shoulders and the protrud-
ing abdomen that is so much in vogue
at the present moment
Everything now, moreover, points
10 the nigh profile in the back and
fiat look from the front of the head,
while just the opposite Is correct for
the pose of the body.

confession. / am hat fan and so, OF
course, 1 bought one OF each of the
styles that l am sending to you. Two

Ito the fore. Perhaps l will do so,
