trasted textures is here well displayed.
The modiste has host of materials
from which to choose; but, knowing the
value Of restraint, she is wisely spar
ing and judicious in their use.

Millet counsels the artist to hide his

The Word "Rubaiyat."

The word .Isubaiyat" is the plural of
"ruba'i," meaning quatrain, and the
plural is used to denote a collection of
quatrains. The form has q verse
scheme of its own and is the distinc-
tive and most ancient Persian meter.
1t is said to have been invented by
Rudagi the earliest Of the great Per-
sian poets. Nearly all the Persian
poets include Rubaiyat among their
works. Edward FITZGERALD made it an

What Did He Mean2

Until three o'clock this afternoon
Warden Hanley of the Tombs prison
was a perfectly contented warden, says
q New York correspondent. He had
been told twice during the morning
that a man with q frock cOat and a
silk hat had called to see him, and as
the man was to return at three o'clock,
Mr.. Hanley cut short his our Of the
prison and returned to his office. He
found that the caller had called, fumed
and finally left this note: Thirty
years ago my father, who was of me-
dunn height and undoubtedly punctual,
was employed as q heat d%enunciator in
a metal mill in Pittsburgh. For years,
or at least for a considerable time, he
told no one However, 1t was common
rumor. Now, after all these years,
does 1t seem that a man would DELHI
erately take any such action? What
would be. his motive? I ask you as
Ia humanitarian to discuss this with no
one. Merely use it for your own infor-
nation and proceed likewise. 1 leave
for Pittsburgh at four o'clock, but trust
you implicitly.-A Friend" At a hate
hour Warden Hanley, having read the
note through 90 times, was reading It
through for the ninety-third time.

ones, for the enlisted men to be REQ
commended for a student course at An
napolis, there to be educated and
trained and upon graduation to re-
celve a commission either in the Ma
rine corps or in the navy. The law
also provides for the promotion Of
noncommlssioned officers to warrant
rank in the grades of marine gunners
and quartermaster's clerk. Such off,
GERS receive from s1.125 to $4,000 a
year. and are entitled to the same
privileges of retirement as warrant
officers in the navy.
There Is a chance for marines to
make money In addition to their pay.
Mess stewards, mess sergeants. mess
men, clerks, and lei assigned to avia-
ton duty receive amounts varying
from $3.50 to SIS per month In addi-
ton to their base pay. There are pro-
visions for increased pay for men who

MOTTO: ALWAYS FAITHFUL"
The Recruit Entering Service Today 10
Paid $50 q Month and the opportu-

Numerous.
BY EDWARD D.. CLARK.

Neutrality-suspicious. In the Fight" 10
the wartime slogan of the United
States marines, while "Semper FL
delis." Always Faithful" Is their
motto in peace and war.
SO It would seem that II good works,
coupled with faith, secure a mans sal
walton, there must be some reason as
well as rhyme In the last four lines of
the Marine corps hymn:
II the Army and the Navy
Ever look or Heavens scenes.
They will find the streets are guarded by
The United States Marines.
Recently Uncle Sam has ordered an
increase in the number of his marines
to a war strength of 10000 men,
which numerically means 1000 more
men than there are In a division Of
troops of the United States army.
There Is room In the marines, there
fore, for any stalwart young Ameri-
can between the ages Of eighteen and
thirty-fve who wishes to be a soldier
and a sailor in one, to be first in the
fight, and to be able to prove that he
is always faithful to the ideals Of hu-
mainly and the ideals of his country.
In the present war the American be-
lief is that the two are one.
When congress recently increased
the pay of the army 1t also increased
the pay Of the navy and Of the Ma
rine corps. The recruit today VINO en-
tiers the Marine corps will receive $50
a month pay. an increase Of $15 over
the pay In the more or less piping
times of peace. More than this, II. he
goes to sea, which unQuestionably will
be his lot, he will receive 20 per cent
additional, and It is generally account
ed that In this war time the 20 per
cent increase will be continued while
the marine is on land In a foreign
country holding up his end for the
United States.
What Is the mariner This is one Of
the questions In a little catechism Is
sued by the officials of the corps. The
answer Is that the marine is a soldier
Of the sea.
The marine 10 assoldier and a sailor,
and yet he Is neither. He is a sort Of
a two-isted fighting owe He goes
everywhere by land or by sea to the
last outpost Of civilization and beyond
