A brilliant headdress, which may do
duty as a dance cap, or for theater
wear, is all made up of sparkle and
midnight blackness. Banks of rhine
stones, with black malines and narrow
velvet ribbons, are the means by
which the starry sky is translated into
a bit of headwear for the brow of
beauty, There is no getting away
from the suggestion of the night sky
which this fascinating cap sings into
the mind
One Of the advantages of caps made
like the one pictured above is that
they soften the severity of the most
popular of this seasons coiffures. This
couture leaves the brow uncovered
and reserves it's fuffiness for the hair
about the ears. 1t is wonderfully youth
full looking, which accounts. perhaps,
for its tlourishing in the face of the
fact that it's severity is often unbe-
coming. But band of narrow velvet
ribbon about the brows, or small cap
worn with it, recompenses the brow
for the absence of softly curling hair.
There are several beautiful coiffures
for those who cannot or will not wear
the Bobby" Among them the 'ISeca-
mier" deserves its distinguished name.

HAD NO ARTISTIC JEALOUSY
Rafael Joeeffy Was Noted for Ills
Genial Courtesy-Rebuff That
He Once Received.

Rafael Joseffy was among the most
famous and also the most finished
pianoforte players a generation ago,
and one of the most charming players
of ChOpin's music, | fancy, that ever
lived, says H. E. Krehbiel. One of his
most ar1iable traits was his want OF
artistic jealousy and his unfailing
kindness and courtesy toward his col
leagues This no less when he was in
the heydey of his popularity as vir-
tuoso than after he had retired from
the platform to the regret and won
derment of his admirers, who were as
numerous as the lovers of pianoforte
music.
During the decade from 1880 to 1890
he really had no rival among the plan
lists who gave concerts in New York.
His popularity burned with a steady
and lanbent fame no matter how
much enthusiasm blazed up for these
newcomers. All of these Joseffy met
in a spirit of unselfsh sympathy. He
took Conrad Ansorge under his wing,
metaphorically speaking, and always
treated him and spoke Of him as If he
were a peer, If not better. He ac-
claimed Rosenthal and always has
tened to the artists room with his
fluctuations whenever a new candi-
date for public favor presented him
self
His conduct was not always appre-
ciated or reciprocated, as an anecdote
frequently repeated by his friends in
dicates. When De Pachmann gave his
first recital in New York Joseffy was
as usual among the first to offer his
congratulations.
Herr Pachmann," he said, you
played like little god"
Who's the big god?" was the IN
gracious retort. You, perhaps?'
But Joseffy expressed no resemy
ment at the rebuff; he kept on admir-.
ing the admirable things in Dc Pach-
mann's playing Just the same and also
expressing it.

But Ralph resolved now to make
his home upon it. Was it not prop
erty, and his own? BY diligence might
he not wrest some return for his hard
work? The prize, Myrtle seemed far
enough away, for Allen Bruce had a
decided advantage over him. Still he
must live, he must make a beginning,
and the end of a month saw rude
but comfortable cabin erected at the
extreme north end of Lonely island.
AT the end of another month Ralph
had cleared a five-acre stretch of its
underbrush, preparatory to doing
some real farming the next season.
One day he received a visit. 1t

1t was a better bargain than Ralph
had at first calculated. At the begin

hard work, he had the satisfaction
of having cleared over five hundred
dollars from this unexpected windfall
Then came a second seeming stroke

THE WAR ORDER
BY ELIZABETH scHoEN COBB.

Be fair, young man. Myrtle is too
Young TO know her own mind An
other thing! OF course, my wife and
myself must look out for her future
welfare. Your cousin, Allen Bruce,
preceded you by day with the same
proposition as your own"
Ralph Dering looked dismayed and
disappointed. His was of too frank
and ingenious nature, however, to
cherish either detection or dislike.
And you told him, Mr.. Owens?"
ventured Ralph.
Just what | am going to tell you:
Both of you profess to love my daugh-
ter and she is certainly friend to
both. You two have just inherited a
fair start in life from your dead uncle.
Keep away from Myrtle for a year.
Then let us see who has made the
best use of his capital
Yes, that's fair acceded Ralph
and went his way, but once out of
sight of the house that held the only
girl in the world he loved, Ralph ut
tered a short bitter laugh
Il wonder if Mr.. Owens knows of
the vast disparity between what
Cousin Allen has inherited and what
l have been given"
There was, indeed a contrast To
his favorite nephew dead John Gordon
had willed a mansion, some secur-
tiles and a modest little fortune in
cash. To Ralph the bequest was Lone

A grim expression crossed the face
of Ralph as he repeated the weird
name. The island itself carried out
the somberness of the situation.
Lonely island was a three hundred
acre patch in the middle of the swift
rolling river. 1t had been in the fam
