Automatic Professor.

The automatic professor is a me-
chanical means of teaching language
which has just been introduced and
which promises to become favorite
because of the ease and convenience
with which it enables one to acquire
a language. The device consists Of a
combination of the phonograph with
q piece of mechanism which operates
a reel CT which are printed words
and sentences SO that the student is
enabled to see the word at the same
time that he bears it. The phone
graph alone has already been utilized
for the teaching Of language with
some success, but the efficacy OF thu
new combination is much greater and
the student acquires q greater -aulil-
i2rity with the language, both written
aud spoken. IN less tine. II IS also

tension of the shape over which the
silk is draped. Little turbans of this
kind are close fitting and very becom-
ing. This particular style Is suited to
youthful wearers, while the longer
shapes, with less pronounced tilt in
the pose are liked for matrons.
There are SO many turbans of silk,
made in so many ways, that the most
conservative as well as the most dar-
ing models are to be- found among
them. For trimming, little nosegays
of small flowers, or ornaments Of Jet
or bows Of velvet or of ribbon, seem
most appropriate. Jet, with silk, adds
much to the brilliance Of these hats,
and small, gay flowers or fruits give
them the requisite touch Of color.
Cleverness in the management Of
drapery is the characteristic virtue Of
hats Of silk for earliest wear. 1t ia

to drape a shape without getting
clumsy effects. That it has been ac,
complished in such a variety of ways
speaks well for the ingenuity of de-

., CHAPTER VII.

Jonesville was in mourning. Broad
ways departed uncle had inspired not
much affection; he had not been one
to care to; but for many years, to the
workers in the factory, he had been a
sort of business deity-the semi-provi-
Dental head of the great enterprise
through which they gained their liveli-
hood
The folk of Jonesville had neither
loved him nor revered him; he had
been sort of elemental necessity to
their peace of mind; they had, SO to
speak, leaned with feeling of secur-
ity upon his stubbornness, knowing he
would never sell out to the gum trust
| if he did Tot sell out to the gum trust
the factory would operate; if the fac.
tory kept running Jonesville would
continue to eat, drink, and, in its
crude, undevolped way, be merry. Now
| that he was dead, feeling of uncer-
| tainty spread a mild panic through the
little town.
The Judge was waiting for the two
men in the hotel corridor. His worry
over What the new owner or the FAC.

1t was something Of relief to him

said Broadway, not without resent
ment. Run my affairs for me?"

gravely announced, was going travel

rard Didn't she say she would be

Broadway paused, dismayed. That's

looked out; he turned back with wor-
ried face. "Surest thing you know. It's

Get your hat said Wallace. "Is
there another way out of this house?''
The servants elevator at the back. "
Rankin! Oh, Rankin!"
Rankin, breathless, hurried in. I'll

Never mind the grip. We can't
wait for it. We've got to make train.
See who's at the door. We're going
out the other way" He seized Broad
ways wrist. Come on"
Jackson, departing in somewhat
sideways fashion, owing to the steady
pull of Wallaces strong arm, called
party Of gentlemen here at two o'clock
to see me, and"

fine wire are joined at the back with
an ornament of pearls. The orna-
ment supports a very full pompon OF
uncurled ostrich feathers. This gives
the finishing touch to a toilette de-
signed for full dress.
The same hairdress with band Of
narrow velvet ribbon decorated with
rhinestones or studded with steel is
pretty for afternoon, wear. Black vel
vet bows wired and outlined with
tiny rhinestones are conservative and
always effective.
There is much charm in the sparkle
and glow of the mock-jewels which
are used in hair ornaments. Little
jeweled buckles and bands and all
sorts of jewel-encrusted feathers are
among the seasons offerings to those
who appreciate how much they en-
hance the appearance.

With that he sprang out of his chair
and rushed about the room with JOY
