THE FLOWER OF THE GORSE

When she leaves this place though l shall see
her often, l hope, in the future-the relations be-
tween us will be rather those of good friends than
of aunt and niece You ought to understand, then,
Mr. Raymond, that if your condolences deal with
her | refuse to hear them"
Raymond sighed heavily He seemed to be at
loss for words In reality Yvonne had said exactly
what ne anticipated, and he counted we'll

tion and weaken her defences

effort, when Yvonne after walking few PAGES in
silence, was about to tell him that she would go
no further. 81 meant to prepare you by some
vague comments that would clear the air. But
your highly strung and generous temperament will
not permit any display of what have described as
my methods of caution. Well. then. if il must be
so, let us get to the crux of the matter at once.
Mrs Carmac is not your aunt. Miss Yvonne She
is your mother! She was your fathers lawful
wife, She deserted him and you, got American
divorce. and was married to Walter Carmac in
England. l believe that the second marriage

things; but they true, and it rests with you to
save her from exposure and gnominy beseech
you to credit my good faith in this matter To
whom can l appeal if not to you, her daughter?
It is manifestly impossible that l should go to

put off the car? He crosses his feet uneaslly,
stretches them out, then draws them in again,
then repeats the performance-eying them as
often as he dares, and asking himself the use
less question, Are they really so loud?"
This is how he feels the first time he wears
them In two days he will have complete
self-conhdence. In two days more he will re-
greet that they are so mild In a weeks time
he will go back to the store and buy pair
of lavender spats and pair OF shoes with
saffron uppers.
And so the fever grows. The female of the
species, fired by mans invasion Of her color
domain, grows violent in her footgear. Twist
ing her new-fangled buskins askew, she laces
them up on the inside at the risk OF making
herself bowlegged for life. Man may wear
hectic shoes, but his trousers-which must,
necessarily, reach to within a reasonable
proximity of the ground-will hide part of
them, but woman is free to grid up her skirt
to haf-calf altitude, leaving her bizarre ankle
trappings to dazzle us in all their glory

A FINE SHOW
AT THE 4Sth ST.

Monday night saw the
premier of "The Yeomen of
the Guard" an operetta by
Sir William S. Gilbert and
Sir Arthur Sullivan, only
the time they wrote it they
were not Sirs at all, that
honor coming later. They
were united, you might say,
until they were knighted,
which is the kind of joke
that Jack Point, the hero of
the play, would get off, he
being a professional jester.
This part was assumed by
Mr.. DeWolf Hopper and
he did mighty well is our
opinion, in fact it was per-
feet and well worth going
to see and hear if THE
GAZETTE knows anything
about Music and the
Drama and if there is one
thing we do know a good
deal about it is just those
allied arts.
Mr.. Hopper is so good in
that part that you forget
that the only other lst class
ones are Miss Natalie Alt,
who is darned engaging,
and VIM. Danforth who is
very comical indeed. The
music is great only they
play the song about the
merryman moping mum too
slow at least we play it a
good deal faster than that

TNHE hoof disease among cattle is at last
under control but the foot disease
Il among human beings is spreading
more and more every day. This
strange plague causes the ankles to break out
in the most alarming colors-livid grays,
bilious yellows, morbid browns and htful
greens.
The first symptom OF the malady is certain
wstful look; iurtive gazing at the feet of
people already afflicted, and then at specimens
in the windows of shoe stores. The doomed
man is hypnotized by what he sees. Infatu-
ated he says to himself, Il wonder what my
ankles would look like in mauve." And ten
minutes later he has sinking feeling in the
pocket book and tingling OF luridness about
the insteps. Leaving the store in bespatted
or varicolored condition, he carries the con-
tagion out into the street
From now on he is continually conscious OF
his feet He walks as though he were swing
ing a pair of unwieldly ornaments. His ankles
appear to be bloated, abnormally huge.
Watch him trying to act natural in the
streetcar. See how. despite his efforts TO calm
them, his feet will witch under the stare OF
the people opposite. Are those self-appointed
critics envyng him for the regalia on his lower
extremties, or are they commissioning him'
