MY feet were greatly swollen, my

about 30 years previously, drank

the bodies OF Mr.. Bean and a porter.
The former was in sitting posture
with his head leaning on one hand

Upon Mr.. Bean a notebook was
found containing entries which throw
light upon the great sufrerings ex-
perienced by the party. He had also
written farewell note to his wife.

Japanese Courtesy.

A country where courtesy Is a busi
ness, and business but gentle avo-
cation, reflects its peculiarity in the
most trifling details OF conduct. Such
country is Japan and such a detail
recently came into notice when a city
electric bureau of Tokyo asked the
patrons on its street car lines how
they preferred to be addressed when
1t was necessary to urge them to
move up" Out of the 2.7l9 sugges-
tions sent in the Independent selects
and translates six. as follows:
Those not getting OFF. to the mid
die, please!"
THE middle Is more comfortable."
I'm sorry, but all move on by one
strap"
There's a pretty girl about the
middle of the carl"
"A pickpocket has just come on
board"
The municipal authorities frowned
somewhat upon the last three suggcs-
tions, but the conductors will be
taught to use some of the other forms
Is 1t possible that the japanese hope
to enjoy an efficient traction service
on such terms? Apparently they hope
to, and we pass along the Japanese
idea as n helpful hint to the gentle
men who jerk a gong on the hear of
our own street cars.

New Sashes.

To the invention of new sashes
there seems no end. These long
lengths Of supple material are an alb
solute rage in Paris. and they art
worn by women and girls OF all agef
Some OF the newest sashes are tieo
directly in front, in a large. full bow;
others are tied at the side rather low
down; others, again. are wound round
the hips In Fatima fashion and simply
knotted at the back.
All the art shades Of blue are in de
mand for these sashes. especially the
blue known as Madonna.
For wearing with pure white dresses
we find smart sashes Of printed gauze
which exploit various shades Of red in
termingled with touches Of black and
deep blue. Almost all the sashes Of
this season are fringed in order thai
they may fall heavily. .-. ri

Chiffon Motor Bonnet.

Among the attractive new automo-
bile caps is one of two thicknesses OF
chiffon, made like a sunbonnet. The
chiffon is green and blue and is shirred
over a wire frame which fits closely
about the head and fares out over the
face. The inside Of the bonnet is blue
and the outside is green.
Raffia Is also used for automobile
bonnets. A prettily patterned cap is
woven Of colored straws and is mount
ed over shirred foundation of col
ored silk. A frill Of the silk about the
face and neck softens the effect Of the
rama. A silk chin string fastens at
one side under bunch Of artificial
flowers.

hips the garment must cling closely te

The dog days are hot and stuny.
They warm up about the middle OF
