is I stood upon the bluff before
my cottage on that clear, cold
N night in the early part of March
1 1856, the noble Hudson flowing
like the silent specter of dead river
below me, 1 felt again the strange
of war, my beloved Mars, which fol
ten lonesome years l had implored
with outstretched arms to carry me
back to my lost love.
Not since that other March night in
1866, when 1 had stood without that
Arizona cave in which my still and
lifeless body lay wrapped in the siniii
tude Of earthly death, had felt the
irresistible attraction of the god of my
profession.
With arms outstretched toward the
red eye OF the great star, stood pray
ing for a return of that strange power
which twice had drawn me through
the immensity of space, praying as l
had prayed on a thousand nights be-
fore during the years that l had wait
ed and hoped.
Suddenly a qualm of nausea swept
over me, my senses swan, my knees
gave beneath me, and 1 pitched head
long to the ground upon the very
verge of the dizzy bluff.
Instantly my brain cleared, and there
swept back across the threshold of my
memory the vivid picture of the hor-
rors of that ghostly Arizona cave;
again, as on that far gone night, my
muscles refused to respond to my will,
and again as though even here upon
the banks of the placid Hudson l
could hear the awful means and rus
Ting of the fearsome thing which had
lurked and threatened me from the
dark recesses of the cave.
l made the same mighty and super
human effort to break the bonds of
the strange anaesthesia which held me,
and again came the sharp click as of
the sudden parting of a taut wire, and

staring, lifeless thing that had so re-
Gently pulsed with the warm lifeblood
of John Carter.
With scarcely a parting glance l
turned my eyes again toward Mars,
lifted my hands toward his lurid rays
and waited.
Nor did l have long to wait, for
scarce had l turned ere | shot with
the rapidity Of thought into the awful
void before me.
There was the same instant of un.
thinkable cold and utter darkness that
had experienced twenty years be-
fore, and then l opened my eyes in an
other world, beneath the burning rays
of a hot sun, which beat through q
tiny opening in the dome of the
mighty forest in which 1 lay.
The scene that met my eyes was so
unmartian that my heart sprang TO
my throat as the sudden fear swept
through me that had been aimlessly
tossed upon some strange planet by a
cruel fate.

Pity the Unmarried Man!

w. l.. George, in Harper's Magazine.
 When we consider the ordinary lives of unmarried men. we must give them our pity, for they have deprived themselves of anxiety. Nearly all earn as much as they need, and nearly all, in their isola- tion and purposelessness, learn to need all that they earn. Their work done, their pockets full enough. there is no mortgage on their time, no compulsion as to their residence, no demand that they should interest themselves in the occupa- tions of ideas of wife. or child. or friend -in anything, indeed, except themselves, a limited field for one's interest, for soon one can know one's self too well, and intimacy may breed contempt. Tn the minds of the unmarried is nearly always discontent; they keep in their heads sort of bazar of rather shop-soiled hopes and of anodynes of doubtful efficacy careers for which they know they are not fit, loves which they dare not adventure, vaguer loves which somehow" might arise, aspirations to travel, to self-educa- ton, to romantic prowess, longings for the country if they live in towns, and for the towns if they live in the country. It is all artificial and self-induced; it is nothing like as sound as the preoccupa- tion of the married with their actual chil- dren, the actual yield of their careers. their brick houses, turf gardens, and barking dogs. Marriage is the earth: be- yond is the land of the will O the -wisps. It sounds very dull. my version of mar

EVERYTHING IN SETS

For the last few seasons there has been a tremendous vogue for accessories of dress in sets. And this year the vogue is just as persistent as ever.
 There are sets of scarfs huff, hat and bag. These are usually made up of fur and velvet, and some are charming. The elaborate ones are for afternoon wear.
 There are also charming sets for skat- ing. consisting of skating bag, a cap, and muffler. One of these is made of bright plaid velvet, trimmed with seal. The muffler is wide and is banded at each end with 8 strip of the seat, from which three big seal balls dangle. The little cap is made with a shaped-or rather gored-crown of velvet, and an up- standing. snug brim of seal.
 Another interesting set shows a hat with wide black velvet brim and a crown of woven chenille in various bright colors. The scarf Is made of black velvet, with an embroidered band of chenille at each end.
 Then there is little set consisting of bag and hat. The crown of the hat is made of figured silk. and the brim is of mink. The bag, of an unusual

Such bits of comfort and inery have been discarded for years, but they have returned to fashion for some req son. probably connected with the war and it's economies. They are made in the shape of hoods, some astonishingly like Little Red Riding Hoods bonnet, done in sealskin and scarlet or Italian blue velvet.
 Others are caps gathered tulle in three or four colors, one layer supermposed on the other to build rainbow founda- tion
 Again, others look like the Red Cross nurses cap, fastening at the back, with broad scarfs of velvet and fur that pro- tect the neck above the line of the evening wrap.

silver lace, which has come into high fashion this winter in keeping with the fact that necessities are difficult to ob- tain. but luxuries easy. You may not be able to buy woolen undergarment, but
 you can wear silver lace apron. This apron, with it's bib, collar and sash that ties in the back. is built into
 complete accessory and sold to go over any gown which needs to be en- livened and eamouflaged.
 INCOMING ORIENTAL HATS The snuous movement of drapery going from left to right or right to left of the figure is not the only ori- l entalization of fashion today. The mill 1 liners are dipping with both hands into l the history of oriental head coverings, and few of the new hats are remin- I scent of the scenes from Bagdad as well as those coffee places which the
 French soldiers frequent in the eastern possessions of France.
 | It is possible that from this exact
 chapter of military life the French designers are getting good deal of oriental inspiration. There are thou sands of square miles of Frances pos sessions in the orient and her stand ing army has now and then given to the designers in Paris ideas for wom- ems clothes. It is possible that the 1 fighting in much of this land today has started the modification of the har- en, veil and the de luxe edition of an eastern turban made of colored velvet 1 or satin
 !; There is a new kind of restaurant hat that looks as though it might
 have been lifted from a corner of I eastern life. It is turban of tulle
 which is wound about the head some what in the manner that Mme. Poiret winds her famous headdress and one end of it passes down over the flower
 part of the face, is wrapped about the
 chin and ears and floats away to a l pointed end that is weighted with a bouquet of rosebuds.
 l Four years ago it became the fash 1 lon to wear bit of tulle draped about the head and the lower part of the face l somewhat after the manner of the fla nous portrait of that Louise of Prussia who humiliated herself before Ma tpoleon for naught; but there was nc lspice of the Oriental about that veil whereas this turban might belong to 2 woman of the east or q sheilzh of the desert.
 The French women have substituted lit for hat with veil, for they draw
 the filmy tulle chin covering up over the face and sometimes catch it across
