One Thing Frenchwoman ExceIs In.
There is still one detail of the sci
ence Of clothes, in which the French
surpass US. in which their supremacy
Is unchallenged. That is the way in
which they hat themselves. There has
been improvement on our side of the
water In this respect also, but there is
room for a lot more. There are now
fewer women who keep a veil tied
around their hats, and on going out
don everything at once, running in the
pins and pulling down the veil with
only perfunctory glance at the mir.
ror, or none at all.
III you are going to wear, a veil at
all you might as well put it on proper
ly There is certain duty to society
In looking as well as one can, and the
moral result of making the best of
yourself physically, is one whose eff.
feet, both upon yourself and upon
those with whom you come in contact,
1t is difficult to overestimate.
OF late years there have been few
wells worn in Paris; by the way,
French artists have way of making
themselves heard in clothes matters,
and they object strenuously to wells.
The women seem to know how to keep
in perfect trim without them. It is
almost pity that they have been so
generally discarded. as 1t is a charm

one. She does 1t with the fingers OF
an artist and the insight of a philo-
sopher. The line across the face
comes at the psychological point; If
there is pattern it is arranged to the
best advantage. She does not allow
a spot or flower in the design to
obliterate the tip of her nose or make
the mouth look lopsided or obscure
her eyes.

FOR THE MORNING REPAST
Some Dishes That Are More Than Usu.
ally Acceptable in the Hot
Weather.

In the summer this meal should be
simple and of wholesome, easily d.
gested food. OF course things must
be tasty, and quite as much thought
and pains should be expended on
light breakfast as on a heavy one.
Foods should be selected in reference
to their suitability to one another and
the season. The Sunday morning
breakfast should be different Danish
from the Sunday morning breakfast
table anything that is served on week
day mornings except coffee.
Here are few simple menus which
may serve as a guide:
Peaches or stewed pears, hominy,
poached eggs on toast, cocoa or coffee.
Raspberries or blackberries, fried
egg plant, toast, coffee.
Blackberries, cream of wheat, mold
ed eggs, toast, coffee.
Fruit, cereal, small broiled lamb
chops, with cold asparagus; rolls,
coffee.
Fruit, cereal, an omelet with peas,
asparagus or tomatoes, biscuits, coffee.

First Aid to the Backward.

Ingenuity of college students in
writing badly after they have passed
of" the required freshman or sopho-
more course in composition is extraor-
binary. Perhaps it is a reassertion
of native happiness, perhaps it is sheer
carelessness. But the remedy to be
adopted at Harvard, after special
study of the problem, is patient one.
A standing faculty committee is to be
appointed, and instructors in all
courses will be urged to, send to the
committee any examination book,
thesis or other piece of work which
has demonstrated the writer's inabil-
ity to express his thought" The COM
mittee will thereupon prescribe addi-
tional work in English for the delin-
quent students. The very warning
should end mere slovenliness, and
those whose fault lies deeper should
be grateful for the discipline.-New

An
Unfinished
Story
By HAROLD CARTER


IF John Ayre were to leave me,
said Fitton & Co., II don't know what
l should do"
Fitton &, Co. was Henry Fitton, the
famous publisher. He had started In
the business five years before, with a
capital of thousand dollars, and his
record since then had been one of con-
tinuous success.
Many publishers stated that they de-
sired only literary merit in their pro-
auctions, and not big names; but
Henry Fitton meant it. He had
brought half dozen new authors to
the front. He was always represented
on the list of best sellers. But John
Ayre was the cause ofwhis success.
Ayre was his head reader, and ap-
peared omniscient. Ayre had never
let masterpiece slip through his fin
gers. He had an intuitive instinct
which told him whenever novel, sub
mitted to the firm, was going to sue
coed. Ayre seemed able to plumb the
depths of the human hearth manu-
scripts.
But not In life.
"Ayre," said Fitton & Co. one day,
IT wish you were mixer. I'd take
you into the firm. But you aren't.
You are only a mixer in theory. l
wish you we're the sort of fellow who
could put little personality into your
work, make good impressions. and
build UP the business"
II guess I'm only cut out to be a
reader" answered John Ayre.
You're a darned good one, anyhow"
said Fitton & Co., and that was true.
Ayre had picked that little schoolgirl
manuscript from Arkansas, which ev-
cry publisher but Fitton had rejected.
He had spotted its human qualities. he
had punctuated End revised it, and 1t
had sold into three hundred thousand
copies.
He had taken that illiterate cowboy
,ale, with its marvellous realism, and
Nhanged the title, rewriting most of

She attracted his interest Immediately
less on account of her beauty than
from the character in her face.
Il called about my manuscript" she
said, little timidly.
"Ah. yes! Sit down, Miss-Miss
Raymond" answered the publisher.
1.-The fact is, have letter in the
stenographer's hands at present, ad'
dressed to you. Your book is won

Life is inconclusive," answered the
girl, and for moment it seemed odd
to Fitton that Ayre had used almost
the same expression.

scene excellently," said Fftton. I'VE
were greatly impressed. The setting
is superb. In fact. Miss Raymond.
your novel has the staging of great
success. But it doesn't end. What
end there is is tragical. We don't re-
fuse to consider tragedy, but at least
the ending must be made clear. Now
in your book the heroine simply con-
fides her sorrows to book, trusting
that the lover will see it and realize
her feelings, which shyness prevented
her from expressing. If you could
change the end"
The girl smiled YEARLY. Il will
think it over, Mr.. Fitton." she an
swered.
81 hope you will" replied the pub
Usher, because our reader, Mr.. John
Ayre, thinks highly of it. But here he
is coming into my office. Now, Miss
Raymond, l want you and Mr.. Ayre to
have good talk"
He ceased, for the girl had suddenly
Strengthened herself and was looking
at Ayre with the strangest expression
upon her face. The publisher had
only once seen such look, and that
was at the same time, for its answer
was on the face of his head reader.
He looked at them in astonishment,
and then he understood. And, be-
cause he was human as well as a pub
Usher. he went discreetly out and left
them in his office together.
When, ten minutes later, he ven
tured back. he knocked cautiously be-
fore entering. He heard a hasty
movement within. John Ayre and
Miss Raymond were standing opposite
each other beside the desk. And the
look on the face of each one made
the publishers heart very happy. For
he loved John, in spite of his odd ways.
"Mr. Fitton, have persuaded Miss
Raymond to change her ending" said
John.
"Yes," answered the girl slowly.
For, you see, know the sequel now"
Fitton's hand descended hard Cd
Johns shoulder.
John" he said, eff the sequel proves
a success I'm going to take you into
partnership. l believe you will devel-
op the qualities of mixer after all. !"

HOW FEAR TIRES THE BRAIN
10 Same Form Of Exhaustion as Dis.
ease and Produces Same Effect.
Scientist Ayers.

Doctor Grille aroused the greatest
interest among the many scientific
men recently when he illustrated the
eject OF insomnia. physical exhaus-
ton, fear and disease upon the brain
cells OF more than fifty rabbits with
which he had experimental and de-
ciared that each form of exhaustion
produced exactly the same effect both
In the lower forms Of life and in hu.
mans.
The brain. the liver and other or.
gans OF the body are connected in
the kinetic chain or system, and
change In one link of that chain modi-
fies the entire system proportionately.
Inus disease or exhaustion in one or
gan OF the kinetic system will produce
a~harmful effect on the brain cells
which comprise the great central bat
terry which drives that system
AS many as twenty cells in the
brain may be totally destroyed after
prolonged insomnia. but, on the other
hano, eight hours sleep will often re-
store the brain cells to a normal con.
dltlon after a shorter period OF ex-
haustion from insomnia or other
causes In this connection, 1t was
pointed out that athletes who had at
tanned fame in early life by their feats
|, OF physical endurance were rarely
known to become prominent in other
fields in after years.
A change in the system it was de-
clared, may result in an immediate
breakdown or acute shock, or the
gradual modification of one or more
of the kinetic organs may give rise
to a number of diseases. This theory
has already given the world the shock,
less operation. and it opens a posi-
bility of controlling certain chronic
diseases which are the result of over
stimulation of one or more of the or.
gans in the kinetic chain.
