Lady Mary S Gossip.

LONDON, November a1-Some hu-
morous stories to brighten the intense
sorrow felt for their condition are be
ing told of the Belgian refugees. The
best houses have welcomed many of
them and American women like Lady
Essex. Mrs. Walter, Burns. Lady Henry
and others have extended them hos
pitalities. Many of the refugees are
refined and delightful people. but it
goes without saying there are the
others. In the wake of the EeIsians
have arrived several German spies.
Lady Henry had remarkable expert
ence with two of the lot she befriended,
among whom were what she took for
two innocent pretty girls. A day or
two after their arrival Il servant
entered their room unexpectedly and
to her amazement found the two girls
shaving, They were, of course, spies.
Prince and Princess Arthur of Con-
naught were in town from Bagshot for
few days this week with the precious
little Duke of Fife. though the prince

as soon as possible. He has been
greatly feted since he has been here.
At first after he arrived he was quite
deaf and it was feared he would never
get back his proper hearing again.
This was caused by the awful noise of
the bursting of shells and the booming
of guns. One specialist who attended
him was afraid that the drum of his
ear had been seriously injured. The
awful din has sent plenty of men on
both sides raving mad. Prince Arthur
gave terrible description of the yells
of the German soldiers when they were
being bayoneted in charges. The most
unearthly thing l ever listened to-" was
his definition.

queen to let the Prince of Wales go off

Those who have little time on their

is as great hobby as ever. Even So

Instructions anent their gardens of next
season. and I am told that great land
scape gardener. Niscountess Wolseley,
whose bills for laying out pleasure
grounds often run into thousands or
dollars, is busy as she can be. 1t
appears that war gardens are to be
all the rage. These will display the
various co1Ors of the allies. 1t was
Lady Londonderry who started this no
tion of the topical garden at Wynyard
Park some years ago and ever since She
has had every important event pictured
in flowers in her garden. Lady Chey,
lesmore is another who has pursued
this notion at her beautiful place
Cooper'S Hill Park. in Surrey.
Lady Decies tVivien Gould that was)
is also a great gardener and both at
Seton Park and her favorite home,
Luttrelstown, near Dublin, the flowers
are of fairy-tale beauty.

THE MODERN DANCES.

An aphorism is vigorous thought,
scantily attired, as for the dance.
She who hesitates is sought at the
dance, and in matrimony as well.
Dioing has now reached the point
where one must dance between courses
to avoid Indigestion.
Dancing, the poetry of motion, seems
10 have reached the blank verse class
just now.
Just think. if we could use vitrascope
when ones husband tangoes with that
blonde.
Ii is a mistake TO confuse good dancing
with the domestic virtues.
A good ballroom partner does not al
ways shine by the domestic steam
radiator.
A man may dance divinely: yet be un-
able to pay for the music:
Some pigeon-toed girls make excellent
housewives and mothers.
John the Baptist was not the only
man to lose his head because of
wOmanS dance
Dance. and all men dance with you;
sit out. and you flrt with but one.
Strange that scme women who are TOO
delicate to care for their children can
tango and trot until am.
man sometimes hesitates before
choosing a partner for the dance. or
for life. because he is not sure his
step will suit hers.
A man curtIy tells his wife she clocks
we'll enough; then wonders that her
eyes do not sparkle at the ball. as they
did in the days when he whispered that
she looked like an angel
When grandmothers tango and school
girls discuss suffrage. can man he
blamed for proposing to boudoir cap
and dimpe?
Apropos of the dance. no one longer
woman on her complexion.
but upon the way she las her color
on.
When a man is not clever at learning
the modern dances he is sure it is his
pa rtner's fault
Lots of us could dance well were it not
for the music and our partners feet.

THE DAILY STORY.
BOY NEXT DOOR.
Copyright. 1914. by ". Werner,

Mrs. Brelly did not like the boy next
door. She did not like many boys, to
tell the truth, but still she was not
disa agreeably prejudiced against boys
She had reared four. who were now
out in the world working hard Some
Of them were rearing boys in their
turn, and she knew from experience
that a boy is not a parlor ornament
nor the personification of etiquette
She could make allowances. But
after she had made all the allowances
in her power she found that she could
not endure Charley Hale next door
He was not an ordinary bad boy He
was detestable little sneak. He
rang her door bell and ran away That
wasn't much. Years back many
neighbor had wanted vengeance on
Mrs. Brelly's own boys for that very
trick. But this boy. before ringing
the bell. crayoned her door pink and
black. When she washed it off some
paint came off. too. -drs. Brelly was
furious. And there were other things
He threw stones at her Plymouth
Rocks, and killed one. He sent her
dog homo limping. Her cat disap-
Deared. She grieved wrathfully over
that. She had had old Tom for years.
uprooted and stripped she went to the
boys mother. f.-.
Mrs. Hale listened quietly. She was
a little. white-faced woman, and it had
been only a year since she moved to
the town. Hospitality to newcomer
only had kept Mrs. Brelly from coming
before Had the boy belonged to one Of
her old neighbors she would have taken
the law in her own hands long before.
I'm sorry said Mrs. Hale, meekly.
She had light blue eyes, and they filled
with nulniliated tears. II am terribly
sorry
Mrs. Brelly coughed. This unexpected
reception upset her Usually when one
complains to a mother she is indignant
But now Mrs. Brelly felt distinctly
ashamed of herself. That little woman
was not able to cope with boy. She
was too frail to whip him "Oh, WE'LL"
said Mrs. reilly, indulgently. boys are
boys. Maybe I was more riled than l
ought to have been. We won't say any
thing more about it,
III tell his father when he comes
home,' Mrs. Hale said. humbly. But
that won't be for two weeks. He is q
travelling salesman, you know
Mrs Brelly knew that. She often saw
him hustling down the street with his
grips He was a tall, worried-looking
