UNIQUE GOWN FOR
BRIDESMAIDS

The wind blown angles that Paris
has just sent over are gaily demon
strated in the bridesmaid costumes
in "When Dreams Come True" and
when a dozen Of them come before
the vision at once it is almost too
splendid to be anything but painted
upon the scenery. Bright put light
green is the first color you see, the
body of the dress and the large rab-
bits ear bow on the hat being OF
that strange shade of it that re-
minds you Of apple blossoms and
makes you want to eat something.
Then the oyerdress, a coat skirt
that hangs from the elevated waist
line, saw daylight first in the best
of Partisan places, where the rarest
of fabrics are brought out to tempt
rich Americans. It, is foundation

THR cRINDSTONE

One night in September, 1792, as
M. Larry stood looking out the win
dow at the courtyard, he saw a num-
Dor Of people-both men and women
in at tho gate. As they en-
tered the gate, everyone rushed for a
grindstone, which had been set up
there for a sinister purpose.

The Burning Chateau.

The old chateau stood aloof in the
. darkness, while the wind blew, rain
poured and all seemed an ill-onen.
Tho wind rustled and seemed to dis
turb the old knives and spears hang:
ing on the walls; and shook the cur
tains back and forth in the room,
g; where the last Monsieur, the Mar
quls, had slept.
: Four lights glared forth out Of the
darkness, then heavy footsteps could
be heard, at last four rough figures
were seen, tramping through the
courtyard Of the chateau. Then the
four lights disappeared. Here they
are again! More lights! the chateau
is now visible; streaks of light re-

The grindstone had double ham
die, and two men, who seemed to .bs
mad were turning it. These mems
faces were very horrible and cruel
They were even more cruel than the
visages of the widest savages in their
most barbarous disguises. AS these
rufians turned the handles of the
grindstone, their long, matted hair
fell over their faces and then back
ward over their necks as they straigh-
tened up again. They had false eye
brows and false mustaches stuck upon
their faces, which made them look
even more hideous. While men turn
ed, women held wine to their mouths
in order that they might drink. With
all the dropping blood and wine and
sparks flying from the stone as they
ground, the wicked atmosphere SEEM
ed gore and fire. There was not one
person among the crowd who was en-
tirely free from the smears of blood
There was a great stir and rush
mong them. Each one rushed ou
and pushed the other trying to be
next to get to sharpen his implement.
Some mems bodies above the waist
were stripped of clothing, but stein-
ed with blood. Some men set off
With spiols of women's laces, silk and
ribbon, all of which were dyed
through. and trough with the stain.
Every hatchet, knife, sword7or bayo-
net brought to be sharpened was
stained with blood. Some of the
swords and hatchets were tied to the
waists of those who carried them
with strips of linen or pieces Of dress
es; which were all dyed one color.
As they got their knives and other
weapons sharpened, each one tore
away into the streets with the sam
red color in his eyes-eyes which any
unbrutalized beholder'. would have
given, part Of his life to petrify with
a well-directed gun. y Mary Stevenson

The Carmagnols

On lightly showing afternoon in
December, Lucie Aanatte stood near
tho door of a dirty, miserable, little
ill-furnished house-the house of the
wood-sawyer. In the window stood
his saw with the inscribed words,
Little Sainte Guillotine", The
aouse-top was decorated with his
zap and pike-all good citizens must
have their caps and pixies displayed.
Lucie felt quite alone in, the little
court and it was a relief to her. But,
To-! She was not long alone; for soon
appears the wood-sawyer and with
him hand in hand was the bengeance.
Following these were not fewer than
five hundred people, who looked like
deamons dancing. They danced to
the popular Revolution song, and
kept most ferocious time. The sound
was awfull Five hundred red caps
and FIVE hundred wooden rags made
this the ghastly apparition of dance
figure gone lraving mad:H4 Men and
women danced; children danced;
women danced together-men and
women danced together. Their bo-
dies swayed as they kept time to the
dance music; some struck-clutched
and tore-then they spun around and
around. A fight could not have been
more awful. The grace in it made it
uelier; tho more horrible. This was
the Carmagnole. Lueis was terri
fed and she put her hands to her
eyes to keep out the awful sight.
Then, as suddenly as they came,
they 1swooped away, leaving her alone
witHthe winter quiet and the falling
SNOW. Elizabeth Jones.

dows. The stone faces stared out
into the night; hot wind carried
the sparks and flames to all the
trees. The leaves were shriveled and
sap was running down the trunks OF
the tree.
Only few servants were left in
the chateau at the death of the
MARQUIS; faint murmur was heard
and horses hoofs sounded, galloping
up the stony road. The rider rode
up to the prison where a crowd OF
soldiers were standing.
"Help, gentlemen-officers! The
chateau is on fire. Help! Help"
They only scorned him and re-
piled: "It must burn"
The rider rode on through the vii
lage, which was illuminated by the
fire-light. The inhabitants in the
village put candles in all the win
dows. The chateau was burning
away; the stone faces seemed as
though they were in torment. Great
masses of timber and stone fell. A
stone face struggled out of the
smoke, as if it were the Marques,
burning at the stake.
The whole village had. seized hold
of the tocsin and, abolishing the law
full ringer, rang for joy. -..,

Mr, /. Nc Smith.

Truly it has been written that In
the midst ef life we are in death
The puphet. ..of old said, "There IS
but step.between me and death"
And fer these who were pleasant and
lovely in their lives he also says that
"in their death they were not divid-
ed" And true it is that :.
Deaths but a path that must !'e
trod,.
Il man would ever pass, to Cod 2.
Some of the rituals in the churches
pray from sudden death to be de-:
livered, and yet we do not know bu:
that it is better to pass peacefully
and quietly rather than to linger and
suffer and then die.
Today we may be in robust health
and going about our usual vocations
and attending to- the duties of life
with the prospect Of many years.
Tomorrow we die and enter into that
last rest. The hour nor the day NO
man knoweth, and is it wise pro-
vision of nature that it is so. The
supreme thing for us all is, be-ye also
ready. The main purpose of life
should be to get ready to lay it down.
Mr.. L. Nc Smith was in Newberry
on Saturday apparently in his usual
health, mingling with his friends and
chatting pleasantly. No one thought
that before the dawn of another daI.
his soul would have passed. On
Sunday morning at 400 o'clock he
passed into the great beyond. Death
came peacefully and quietly to him
