GENTILITY IN HUMBLE GARB
Rags and Tatters Proudly Worn by

Hawthorne of the Brooks farm expert

opals and Pearls.

We suppose that those people who
call pearls tears do so because both
are globular and limpid. It is sug-
gested by resemblance. The ancients
believed that pearls are formed Of
drops of dew that fall into the shells
of the oysters at night. II the dew
was pure the pearls would be beauti-
ful and clear; If impure, they would
be dull and muddy. We do not And

.aueen,e Dreams Faded.

Cecily. duchess Of York. who lived
toward the end of the sixteenth CEN
fury, was doomed to witness In her
family more appalling calamities than
probably are found in the history OF
any other individual. Twenty-six OF
her closest relatives, through whom
she hoped to inherit the throne OF Eng
land, were killed In battle, poisoned or
murdered during her lifetime. Her
father was that rash and powerful
nobleman, Ralph Neville, earl OF West
moreland. She was the youngest OF
twenty-one children, and on becoming
the wife Of Richard Plantagenet, duke
Of York, her family exerted all their
influence to place her on the throne OF
England. After series of splendid
achievements, unparalleled in history,
the whole family of Nevilles was
swept away long before Cecily had de-
scended in sorrow to her grave.

FEAST WORTHY OF THE NAME
Msnteneorins Put Up Elaborate Spread
az Natural Part Of the Wed
ding Ceremony.

The feasts prepared by Monteneg-
rims, when weddings are celebrated,
overshadOw the most elaborate affairs
along that line in America. says Ed
ma Worthley Underwood, in transla-
ton of a story, "Furor Illyricus," by
A. Won vestendorf. Two serving maids
and the head Of the house enter with
huge, four-cornered bottles. One little
drink and dried fig open the meal.
This is a custom to banishs the taste
Of cigarets, which are always inS'evi-
dence. The heavy. thick inRsbiack
wine of Lissa is then poured. and the
diners choose their favOrfte mOrsels
from plates, after which sugared eggs.
are passed around This is just the
beginning of the banquet, which Is
followed by minestra, baked macaroni,
with hashee made from the entrails
Of young lambs, fowl roasted In sugar,
small barboni baked in oil. baked ink
fish with citron, pullets cooked with
fresh vegetables, and beef served on
huge platters. Wine flows In abund-
ance, and boisterOus laughter and LOUD
talking prevail. The banquet is closed
with a special dish, after champagne
has been served. A roast lamb is
brought in on wooden platter, and
put near the lower end of the large
table. With lOrdIy gesture the mas
ter of ceremonies steps forward, and
with a large knife, ground as thin as
hair, chops the lamb into four
pieces with two strokes. The women
continue to eat cakes and fruit, but
the men spend the remainder OF the
time drinking. 4

What is a Creole7

Originally the word was used to de-
note persons born In the West Indies
of Spanish parents, to distinguish
them from immigrants direct from
Spain, aboriginals. negroes or mulat-
tos. 1t is now used for the descend"
ants of non-aboriginal races born and
settled in. the West Indies. in various
parts of the American mainland and
ia Mauritius, Reunion or some other
places colonized by Spain, Portugal,
France or Tin the case of the West
Indles) by England. The use of the
word by some writers as necessarily
Implying a person of mixed blood is
entirely erroneous. In itself "creole"
has no distinction of color: a creole
may be person of European, negro
or mixed extraction, or even a horse.
French Canadians are never Creoles.
