ENTRANCED BY GYPSY MUSIC
Traveller In the Balkans Tells of Won- derfu Strains That Affected
 Both Man and Horse.

People will tell you in the Balkans that gypsy camp is to be avoided; yet l used to hail them with pleasure. They added to tho wildness and say agery of tho nature about us. One day, several miles from Uskup, our horses raised their heads and listeued to something we could not hear. At first we thought they were smelling human blood; but we came to the conclusion that something different caused their interest, since no tremorS of fear were passing through them Refining them in, we listened. but. hearing nothing started to ride on. After Il while a sound like a faint moaning of a torrent came to us. The effect on our horses was very pecu- liar; they seemed to have forgotten their fatigue. and were sidling along in a way that made me nervous.
 Finally we made out that 1t was weird strains of music that reached US,
 We are nearing gypsy camp my brother said with relief. Some one is playing with more fire than usual"
 Within sight of the camp. the music came to us in it's full beauty or it's full horror. 1 do not know which. Since then I have heard many great masters play; but such music as that l have never heard It was heavenly; it was hellish. Our horses were as much affected as we; they pranced as if they were steeds of great mettle, instead of poor, scrawny Balkan ponies. As for me, I began to dream of things unheard, unknown, only dreamable.
 Sitting on wagon, youth was hanging over his violin, playing playing like mad Presently, with. out interrupting his music, he sprang from the wagon and paced back and forth, still playing torrentially. We sat fascinated both by the player and his playing, trying all the time to quiet our horses.
 At last the music seemed spent; the boy let his violin fall to the ground, where he, too, threw himself, and the music was succeeded by heart breaking sobbing. His weeping, like his music, was as torrential as a storm. Like it, it ceased when it had reached it's climax.-Century Maga- zine.

Simple Thin Frock.

net in the desired widths. Net, by the yard, is much cheaper than footing but is not so easy to sew on, as the edges must be carefully turned under and the goods must not be stretched in the sewing.
 Is not the waist of this frock charm ing? It is just loose, full blouse, with seams under the arms and on the shoulders. The decoration consists wholly of frilled revers and collar, with ribbon run through a beading Instead of this, however, band of the trimming goods may be added inside the frill. The sleeves, too, not only are easy to make, but are both practical and pretty, and any attractive silk or satin girdle or sash may be worn.- Washington Star.

Initials Easy to Fashion.

It is considered very smart now to carry colored handkerchief to match your costume. If you are patient and clever, you may be smarter still by embroidering your handkerchief in a small initial or monogram in color. or group of three initials by copying her personal monogram from her sta tionery. She has to enlarge it usual ly, though in some cases this would not be necessary. If you cannot draw a good block letter, trace some par ticularly good-looking letters from the caption of an advertisement in a pa- per or magazine.
 Combine your letters in a square, a diamond, circle or a wreath. The more tailored handkerchiefs with plaid borders or striped centers re- quire the plainer monogram. On col cred haldkerchiefs use white for the letters; on white or plaid grounds, use the predominating color.
 The beautiful colors of the silk handkerchiefs 50 much in favor offer splendid opportunity fer embroider- ing initials in equally as beautiful colors matching or harmonizing with the kerchief itself. Some very charm ing handkerchiefs are seen with a corner or two filled in with appliqued flowers. The flowers are held in place with blanket stitches.

President Tyler Married In Office.

I suppose the story of President Ty. ler's wedding-nearly seventy-five years old-will have been resurrected by now.
 The ceremony took the public a bit by surprise. The president was a widower of about a year and a halfs duration, and he was much older than his bride, who was Miss Julia Gardi- ner of New York The wedding took place in the Church of the Ascension on Fifth avenue, New York and small reception followed at the home of the brides family in Lafayette place. It was June wedding and it concluded with pageant; the presi- dent and his bride made tour of the harbor, where many of the war vessels were anchored.-Vogue.

The use of the ribbon as well as the braid should not be overlooked they are two trimmings which can be easily made use of by the home sewer to stamp a frock as being strictly up to date.

How many things are there in life that, looked at from our point of view, are clouds only-things to be shrunk from, with nothing in them Of brightness, of radiance and beauty.
