For general excellence and all-around
wearableness nothing ever surpassed
the coat Of covert cloth. 1t is sturdy
aristocrat among coats, and therefore
returns to us each year along with the
robins and other early promises of
springtime. Its color and texture and
stability give it an assured class and
each year is good style in designing.
COatmakers understand that designs
must harmonic with fabrics. Coats of
covert cloth are cut on smart lines and
depend on them, and on the highest
standard In workmanship, rather than
on novelty or the use of adornments, to
bring them recognition. Machine
stitching, buttons, straps of the mate
rial are the recognized tailored means
Of establishment.
The covert-cloth coat shown in the
picture is long, falling within eight
inches of the bottom edge of the dress
skirt. A narrow belt of the cloth is
lOoped over at the front and extended
In long sash ends, as concession to
prevalent mode, both in coats and
dresses, which further recognizes in
wide revers at the front and a cape

are beautifully tailored, with a ma

them and the same establishment ap-

conceited and affected young buffer,
Georg Brandes writes in the Century
Magazine He used to tell the italian
girls at Ischia and Capri that his father,
schoolteacher in reality, was the best
friend of the king of Denmark, and
that he himself was one of the great
est men in Denmark. To prove this,
he often appeared in entire suits OF
white satin. He called himself poet
but could find poetical inspiration only
in the wilderness or in desolate, dreary
spots. He once went to Crete to write,
he said, a great drama Of tragedy. He
returned, however, without having ac-
complished his purpose. He averred
that he could feel tragic emotion only
in the mountains, and lived in self
delusion and illusion.
Some of his characteristics have
passed in peer Gynt." Otherwise

The side crown is slashed to allow
short lengths of ribbon to be drawn
through it at four places. The ribbon
is brought to the base Of the crown

with an end that extends to the edge

The coat is double-breasted, with
four large, fancy buttons, two of them
serving for fastening, at the front. An
other button, at the top, provides q
means of fastening the coat up about
the throat. The model hangs straight,
with exceptionally long waistline, as

Heioht of a Camera.

A safe rule in most cases, Is to
have the camera at such a height
that the lens is about level with the
eyes of q person of average height,
standing. This implies that most tri-
pod stands, all ultra portable ones, are
too short in the leg, as even those
which allow the camera to be at this
height only do so when the feet are
so near together that the stand Is
unstable. With lenses of short focus
it is usually advantageous, especially
in interior work, to have the camera
lower, while with very long focus
lenses it may be higher to avoid
foreshortening of the ground. In the
case of domestic interiors, it is i'm
portant to have the lens well above
the level of table top, as the effect
of the furniture seen from a lower
viewpoint will be unsatisfactory.

and he might remember suddenly and

and he might remember suddenly and
stop.
In the deeper sense-and she was
breathlessly conscious of this, too
he hadn't forgotten she was there.
He was telling it all because she was
there-because she was herself and
nobody else. She knew-though how,
she couldn't have explained--wtth
that intuitive certainty which is the
only real certainty there is, that the
story couldn't have been evoked from
him in just that way by anyone else
in the world.
At the end of two years in the
states attorneys office, he told her,
he figured he had his training and was
ready to begin.
Il made just one resolution when [
hung out my shingle," he said, "and
that was that no matter how few
cases 1 got 1 wouldn't take any that
weren't interesting-that didn't give
me something to bite on. I wasn't
willing to be bored for any reward
| they had to offer me. It's cynical to
be bored. It's the worst immortality
there is. Well, and 1 never have been"
1t wasn't all photographed and
narrative. There was a lot of his
deep-breathing, spacious philosophy
of life mixed up in it. And this the
girl, consciously and deliberately,
provoked. 1t didn't need much. She
said something about discipline and
he snatched the word away from her.
"What is discipline? Why. it's
standing the gait - standing 1t, not
submitting to it. It's accepting the
facts of life-of your own life, as they
happen to be. 1t isn't being conquer
ed by them. It's not making masters
of them, but servants to the underly-
ing things you want"
She tried to make q reservation
there-suppose the things you wanted
weren't good things?
But he wouldn't allow 1t. "What-
ever they are" he insisted, your de-
sires are the only motive forces
you've got No matter how fine your
intelligence is, it can't ride anywhere
except on the back of your own
passions. Learn to ride them-control
them-spur them. But don't forget
that they're you just as essentially as
the rider is"
1t was with a curiously relaxed
body, her chin Graded in the crook Of
her arm, which lay along the back
of the couch, her eyes unfocused on
the window that the girl listened with
more and more poignantly vivid con-
sciousneSS of the man himself, the
driving power of him, of something
carelessly exultant in his own strength.
She got TO thinking of the flight of
great bird wheeling up higher and
higher on his powerful wings. Sud-
denly and to her CONSERVATION, she
felt her eyes flushing up with tears.
She tried to blink them away, but they
came too fast.
Presently he dropped short in his
walk-stopped talking, with gasp,
in the middle of a sentence, and
looked into her face. She couldn't see

her mother came in and, presently, Por-
tia. She introduced him to them, and
then dropped out of the conversation
altogether. AS if it were a long way
off, she heard him retailing last nights
adventure and expressing his regret
that he hadn't taken her to his sister
to be dried out, before he sent her
home.
She was aware that Portia stole
look at her in a puzzled, penetrating
sort of way every now and then, but
didn't concern herself as to the basis
of her curiosity. 1t wasn't until he
rose TO so that she aroused herself
and went with him into the hall.
There, after he'd got into his overcoat
and hooked his stick over his arm, he
held out his hand to her in formal
leave-taking. Only it didn't turn out
that way. For the effect of that warm,
1.-THE grip flew it's flag in both their
faces
You're such a wonder" he said.
She smiled. $50 are y-you." 1t was
the first time she had ever stammered
in her life.
When she came back into the sit
ting-room, she found Portia inclined
to be severe. did you ask him to
come again?" she wanted to know.
Rose smiled. 81 never thought of
it," she said.
Perhaps it's just as WELL" said
POrtia. did you have anything at
all to say to him before we came
home, or were you like that all the
while? How long ago did he Gomez"
81 don't know" said Rose behind
a very real yawn. 81 was asleep on
the couch when he came in. That's
why 1 was dressed like this" And
then she said she was hungry.
There wasn't, on the whole, a hap
pier person in the world at that mo-
ment.
But Rodney Aldrich, pounding along
at five miles an hour, in a direc-
ton left to chance, was not happy.
Or, if he was, he didn't know it. He
couldn't yield instantly, and easily, to
his intuitions, as Rose had done. He
felt that he must think-felt that he
had never stood in such need Of cool,
level consideration as at this moment.
But the process was impossible.
Anyway, 1t was remark Frederick
had made last night that gave him
something to hold on by. Marriage,
she had said, was an adventure of
which no amount of cautious thought
taken in advance could modify the es-
sential adventurousness. There was
no doubt in his mind that marriage
with that girl would be q more Won
derful adventure than anyone had
ever had in the world.

PRIVILEGES of Consuls,

Consuls do not occupy the same ia
vored position as diplomatic agents in
the eyes of international law. Their
business is not with affairs between
state and state, but with protecting
the interests of individuals in for
eign country. Thus, though they en-
JOY several of the immunities Of a pub
lie minister, they do so as courtesy,
not as a right.
All civilized custom, however, Sc
cures them a safe-conduct, and their
papers and in many cases the consular
buildings are held inviolable. In prac-
tice, though not by law, consuls them
selves are not subject to arrest, save
for serious crime, and this exception
holds good also in the case Of diplo-
mats, though these would probably
only be detained until taken into their
own country's custody.

him clearly, but she saw his hands
clench and heard him draw q long
breath. Then he turned abruptly and
walked to the window and for a NOR
tai. endless minute there was a silence.
Something happened during that
moment while he stood looking into
her tear-fiushed eyes-something mo-
mentOus-critical- no previous
experience in her life had prepared her
for. And it had happened 10 him, too.
His silhouette as he stood there with
his hands clenched, between her and
the window, showed her that.
What underlay her quiet was Won
der and fear, and more deeply still, ii
sort of cosmic contentment-the acqut-
escence of a swimmer in the still, If
resistibIe current Of mighty river.
1t was distinctly relief to her when

you didn't. You've never been hurt
never even been frightened. You
wouldn't know what they felt like.
And the result is ;"
POrtia eyed her thoughtfully. 1.-The
result is" she concluded, that you
have grown into big, splen-

it's perfectly inevitable some man like
Rodney Aldrich would go straight out
of his head about. And there you

you think I'm any good at all?'
That's the real injustice to It,"
said Portia; "that you are. You've
stayed big and simple. It couldn't
possibly occur to you now to say to
yourself: Poor old Portia! She's al
ways been jealous because mother
liked me best, and now she's just
green with envy because I'm going to
marry Rodney Aldrich.'"
She wouldn't stop to hear Roses
protest. Il know it couldn't" she
went on. That's what 1 say. And
yet there's more than a little truth in
it, I suppose. Oh, I don't mean I'm
sorry you're going to be happy be-

little sorry for myself. Here l stay,

The wedding was set for the first

was that it was to be as quiet - as
Indeed, the notion of even a simple
wedding into the Aldrich family left
Portia rather aghast.
But this feeling was largely allayed
by Frederica's first call. Being cele-
brated beauty and a person of great
social consequence, didn't, it appeared,
prevent one from being human and
supplemented and altogether de-
lightful to have about. She was so
competent, too, and intelligent Crosse
didn't see why Portia should find any
thing extraordinary in all this.

Blind Children Learn.

Here is an original method used t.
teach a little blind child her alphabet,
that hope may help other mothers
who have little ones afflicted with the
same handicap. Use the raised letters
from old felt pennants and paste on
four pieces of cardboard. Dividing
the alphabet into four parts prevent
the child from trying to learn too many
letters at once. When the alphabet is
mastered, the letters can then be made
into words and put on small card
boards. The little ones touch soon
learns to distinguish between letters
and it is interesting to note how soon
it grasps both letters and words.
