The Paradise of Artists.

The death of William NJ. Chase

used to tell in the course of a lecture
on Japan.

form in Japan, waiting for a train, and
Willing away my time by watching a
particularly beautiful sunset.
Suddenly a freight train pulled in,
and, stopping in front of me, cut off my
view. Being a good American, and
trained in a very proper respect for
business I merely turned philOsOphi.
cally away and proceeded TO look at
something else. In q moment, however,
the station master appeared at my side
and inquired with the politest of bows
If I had been enjoying the sunset.
81 admitted that l had, and smiling
accepted his apology for the intrusion
Of the train. OF course l recognized
that trains were the first consideration
in stations, I said.
Imagine my surprise, then, when
the little japanese shook his head firm
ly. But no. he said, bowling ever more
deeply than before, the train must not
be allowed to obstruct the honorable

enjoyment Or words to that effect.

upstairs again. Miss Chandler might
care little for the destruction of her

her one street suit was much. She re-
gained the room from whence she had

adjoining one We're now filled with

back to the hall. a bright glare shot
up where the stairway was. Ora con-
tinued to retreat, hoping to discover
some other avenue leading to the floors
below. The deadly foe beat her
back. She was nearly sulfOcated when
she reached n door, pushed it open,
and found herself in what seemed to
he n large storeroom. She slammed
the door shut to keep the fire at bay,
aud ran to the one window of the room
to look out.
Ora was fully frightened as she
noted that the ground was fully 80
feet below. She tried to lift the heavy
sash, but her strength was not equal
to the task. The air was growing
more and more oppressive, and she
could hear the cracking of flames in
the passageway beyond the door she
had just closed.

Ora seized n chair, lifted it and
struck the thick glass pane. 1t shat

ture.

eyes lifted, scanning the upper win

One of the latter is pictured with a
wider brim than the milan model and a
round crown 1t is bordered, on the
under brim, with a narrow ribbon gath
cred at the inner edge and a ribbon is
introduced into the crown in the same
way. A cluster of small roses is posed
at the front. This is "a favorite trim
ming for both black and white hair
braid hats.
The third hat is an unusual model Of
purple geOrgette crepe and slipper
straw in the same color. The upper
and under brim are of crepe with a
scalloped border of the straw. The
top crown and part of the side crown
are covered with crepe, also with a
wide band of straw covering that por-
ton of the crown which appears below
the wreath Of viQlets and small roses
encircling it. The flowers are in their
natural colOrs and they are lacquered
by a process which stiffens and bright
ems them so that they will hold their
own in the summer sun.

ARREST braids and tulle and hats of

heavier bralds and bodies that we have

ing of this gown, is essential, as in all
simple designs. In this respect the
home dressmaker must be faithful to
the model if she undertakes to copy it
but a light wool or heavy cotton fab
rio may be used instead of silk, with
good success. Small shepherd check,
in black and white, decorated with
black sOutache braid will convert the
model into a perfect one-piece street
dress.
AS pictured the dress is made of a
heavy silk crepe and fastens at the
front with white buttons, set close to-
gether, and loops of silk cord. Down
each side of the bodice at the back
and front a border design in soutache
braid provides a decoration in perfect
harmony with the dress. The design
Is widened at the shoulders to extend
to the arm's-eye. The sleeves are long
and without cuffs, but the braided pat
tern appears at the wrist and three
buttons, matching those that fasten the
dress, are set close together here, A
narrow, fiat sash of the material is
finished at the end with Il bit of hand
some fringe. 1t is tackled to the dress
and looped owe at the front. The
neck is managed with the same re-
serve that characterizes the entire de-
sign, having a narrow V-shaped
opening, small revers, and cape collar
at the back.
