 The summer hats are so pretty when trimmed with wax flowers. The Fair has a duplicate of the parasol that won the first prize at the parasol show in New York.

startled the world. A strange man was
Monsieur Pei; so strange that he was
sent to a lunatic asylum ice and re-
manned there for a year or two, after
which experience he resumed his
matchmaking and his chemical expert

1t was thirty odd years ago that a
oma named Elise Boehmer con-
scented to accept a situation as house
keeper in the Pei establishment. This
was just after the watchmaker's Sec
ond wife and her mother had made a
sudden and mysterious exit from the
house. The second wife and her moth
er were wretchedly i'll when this hap
pened, and they remained in the
neighborhood only long enough to re-
cuperate sufficiently to travel. They
were not communicative. The most
they would say vas that they thanked
God they had got away from that
house alive.
This circumstance increased the I'M
popularity of Pei. What was going
on in his house, that two women
talk that way?
The friends of Elise Boehmer tried
to persuade her not to take the job.
1t would be far better for her to work
herself to death as a charwoman than
to be associated in any way with a
man who certainly was in league with
the powers of darkness. But Elise
laughed at such advice. She had a
mind of her own. The mystery of the
Pei home attracted her. Moreover,
she was a big, strong woman, and the
matchmaker was thin and frail, and

Monsieur Pei was not a popular
man in Montreuil. His neighbors
talked about him every day and shook
their heads gloomily when they did
so. Even the children hushed their
chatter when he went by, and it Is re-
lated to this day, by the old inhab-
itants, that the dogs showed their
teeth and growled at the sight of him.
His habits and appearance were all
against him. For one thing, Pei would
have no traffic with his neighbors, fur
ther than to mend their watches and
clocks. He seemed to hate all man.

man had an evil face, that mar was
Pei. His countenance was long and
ran down to a point; his nose was
hooked, and two little red, fiery eyes
glared with changeless hostility upon
all around him. His ears were large
and stuck out from his head like sails,
and his complexion was of the waxy,
bloodless hue of a corpse.
His business was matchmaking; but
his passion was chemistry, and all his
spare hours were spent in his house,
which presented a forbidding appear
ance. He had boarded up the lower
windows and the doors always were
barred and locked. He had a furnace
in the house, and often strange lights
of various colors and diabolical sug.

the window boards, and passers-by
could hear the wheeling of bellows,
and the roaring of flames. At times

SOPHISTICATED POLICY

In the judgment of many, 1t is diff.
icult to understand why preparedness
to meet a remotely possible attack by
a foreign foe should take precedence
yer preparedness to conquer and
overwhelm a known foe in our midst,
who is every day defying US, and
whose toll Of death and disease rivals
that of the battlefelds of Europe, says
the Union Signal, official organ of the
National w. c. T. U. There is pos
sibly one chance in a thousand that
our fathers, brothers, husbands and
sons may be called upon at some fu-
ture time to defend the safety of this
country from an alien enemy, but
there is a positive certainty that every
day and night of every week until the
liquor traffic is put out Of existence it
will injure thousands of our young
men, physically, mentally and spirit
ually; and that this injury will not
end with this generation, but will af-
feet d~isastrously the next generation.
A policy so short-sighted that it neg
lects to guard against a recognized,
immediate, continuing peril of gigantic
proportions in order to prepare for III
which may never have to be faced, is
unworthy of enlightened America.

synagogue would be continually re-

LABOR AND PROHIBITION.

-66Oh AMI FhOT1ID IIOI4s
THE trend of sentiment of organ
lied labor is towards prohibition" said
Richard Jones of Duluth, a member of
the Minnesota state senate, speaking
before the Scandinavian Socialist Or
g~anization.
Some trade union leaders claim
that prohibition would make for nom
employment. If this is SO why have
locomotive engineers to the number
of 10000 Endorsed it? If prohibition
is inimical to the interests of labor.
why did the southern labor congress,
composed of men from nine southern
states, refuse to ask for a repeal of the
prohibition laws of the South when
requested to do so by the United
Brewery Workmen of America? Lo-
cal labor leaders may insist that the
saloon is a poor mans club, but the
American Federation of Labor at its
convention at Toronto condemned he
use of that term.
1--WE are urged not to vote men out
OF employment in a business which is
destructive to society. l would vote
those men out of that employment
and into something valuable to them
selves and their fellow men. I would
like to have a chance to vote about
100000 men in Europe out of their
present jobs. If this principle applies
in one case why not in another? To
advocate peace in Europe would throw
thousands of workmen in America who
are engaged in the manufacture Of
munitions of val out of their present
employment, but thousands of trade
unionists and Socialists are today do
ing all in their power to spread anti
militaristic propaganda among their
fellow workers"
