Then from it's first spirited fight

His Frame of Mind.

The horse had run away and was
tangled up in the wire fence at the
side of the muddy road. Its half-wit-
ted owner had kicked and sworn and
tried to lift the animal until he was
out of sorts and covered with mud.
A wellgroomed man came along,
took in the situation, and suggested:
Spring the fence back, then he can
get his feet free"
The owner of tbS horse did as he
was told. Now give him cut with
the whip and he'll get up himself"
This the owner did. Then he looked
at the horse, UP and ready for travel,
looked at himself covered with mud.
and looked at the immaculate gentle
man in the road. Wrath filled his
soul.
Well" he grumbled, thank you
just as much as if you'd helped me-"

Yet when she turned him on his back
and released the arm, he made no
sign to indicate that the movement
had caused him the slightest pain.
There was a slight cut upon his
brow, bruise about his left temple.
She tore linen from her bosom, be-
meath her coarse flannel shirt, and with
sparing aid from the canteen, washed
the cut clean and bandaged it.
Then, seeing that the storm held
with fury undated, she rose, recon
noitered and returned to exert all her
strength and drag the unconscious
man across the dry bed of that ancient
water-course and under the lee of it's

There, sitting, she pillowed his
head upon her lap, and bending over
him made her body an additional shell

of dust.
And for hours ON end Judith nursed
him there. scarce daring to move
save to minister to his needs, bathing
his fevered brow and moistening his
parched lips and throat.

athwart the waste, hot as furnace

and horse, sitting cloud of super
heated particles that stung the flesh
like myriad needles. And then dark

No one can tell when the bride of
today will introduce the mode of to-
day In some detail of her wedding
gown, be it ever so conventional in
style. For since her choice of fabrics
may lie anywhere from tulle to bro
cade, falling upon the lightest or the
heaviest or any Of the gradations be-
tween, she has as wide a choice in
design. This follows because she must
adapt style to the fabric, and there
fore we have wedding gowns and
wedding gowns, no two alike and all
interesting
But brides are apparently of one
mind as to the treatment of the bodice
Nearly all of them choose the conven-
tional long sleeve and the unconven-
tional V-shaped neck, more or less
low. 81
AS to skirts, they may be short and

A girlish French model of lace and
chiffon was made even a little shorter
than ankle length, with wide panel of
lace down the front, broadening to-
ward the bottom The skirt f1ared de-
cidediy. Having departed in an op-
posite direction from the conventional
mode thus far, the designer appears
to have repented. The very long
sleeves of chiffon and very high neck
in the lace bodice made humble and
contrite apology for the engaging
frivolity of the skirt.

The outing cap, which can be easily
converted into an auto bonnet, and is
made of stuff that will stand the stress
recommended. 1t speaks for itself and
its talking points are unanswerable.
AS a rule these caps are made of
mercerized poplin or Palm Beach
cloth, although pongee, taffeta and
some other fabrics are occasionally
used. Mercerized poplin and Palm
Beach cloth are cotton materials in
weayes so attractive that they are
often combined with silk and lose
nothing by this close association with
it. Both these materials are washable
and strong.
Machine stitching and narrow silk
braid are relied upon to furnish the
decorative features in these useful
caps. Sometimes they are used to-
gether. The brims and crowns are
often in contrasting colors, or the
brims are faced with color different
from that in the body of the cap. Fa-
vorite combinations are those made
of pongee-colored cloth with bright
green, blue, black or red introduced in
the brim facings.
Wells are either of the same color
as the body of the cap or like the con-
trasting color used. They are about

which a fine quality of building stone

ing ground for artisans in this indus
try. The vineyards have developed
| a number of expert wine makers who
spend part of their time every year
in France and Spain. As these wan
derers seldom give up their citizen
ship they are always to be counted
upon to swell the ranks of the army

San Marino also has some salt mines
which it uses to pay the captains re-
gent salary. The regents have the
salt monopoly during their term Of
office.
Since San Marino's streets all run at
some precipitous angle drainage and
sewerage is no worry. Nature handles
that. Few horses are owned in the re-

get their daily pasturing.
Life is not very exciting in this lit

contented to look after their farms,
stock and vineyards in much the same
way as did their ancestors for genera
tions past. The gathering of the vint-
age is time for feasting and amuse-
ment, and the cattle sales are pic
turesque affairs to which the peasants
bring their great mild-eyed oxen with
coats groomed to a silvery gloss, necks

The latter has been merged this year

and had aided over $4,000 distressed
