the Spaniards we're isolated when on
the island.
1t is hard to conceive how isolation
could well be possible on an island
two miles square; besides, the Fair
island people do not deny that the
strange patterns and the lichen dye
ing OF the stockings and caps and
shawls their women knit were taught
them by the Spaniards, and indeed the
same sort of handicraft is found to this
day in country places Of Spain.
The Fair islanders we're great
smugglers in the old days, and they
are still good bargainers. They are
very intelligent, seeming to know In
stinctively how to read; and not so
very long ago they would follow the
mail steamers in their light canoe
shaped boats, which none but them
selves can manage. begging for news
papers and books.
One of their terrors is Of infec-

are said to hang and drown their
dogs; another is of emigration, for
they love Fair isle. Yet emigrate they
must; about forty-five years ago a

text, using, when all else fails, the
solemn prophecy of a storm.

Mlaht Have Been Worse.

Romeo Johnson of Indianapolis once
gave this explanation OF how he came
by his first name: MY father was a,
great admirer of classical acting,
said he, and was an especial admirers
OF Edwin Booth. Shortly before Z
was born he was in the East and
stayed over a day to see Booth in
Romeo and Juliet The impression
was SO strong that he named me Ro-
meo. It's a good thing that he left
when he did, for the performance the
next night was 'Pygmalion and Ca

There is little variation in the out

is done to vary the outside finish and

The floor of the porch, including the

especially necessary because of the
unprotecting character Of the pergola.

1t is very necessary that the appli

blade the sharpness of a knife by filing
it to a keen edge. and go over the
ground about your lilacs at the sprout'

You can do this just as easily and rap
