The dinner itself, for an informal
one, was a very brilliant function.
There were eighteen OF US at q
large round table, which would
easily have accommodated twenty
four. The Cardinal, whose scarlet
robes in themselves formed q
strange note OF color, sat on
the Archduchess's right, touching
scarcely any OF the dishes which
we're continually presented to him,
and slipping occasionally from the
glass OF water at his side. The
other men and women were all
distinguished, and their converse.

was apt, and at times brilliant, lso-
bel and perhaps. the former par
ticularly, contributed least to the
general fund. Isobel met the adj
yances of her right-hand neighbor
with the barest monosyllables.
Lady Delahaye, who sat on my
left, left me for the most part dis
creetly alone. Yet we two spoke
very little. | could see that Isooel
was disposed to be ~hysterical, and
that her outward calm was only
attained by means Of an unnatural
effort. Yet fancied that my being
near soothed her, and every time
| spoke 10 her or she to me, a GER
tain relief came into her face. All
the while | was conscious OF n
strange thing. The Archduchess,
although she had the Cardinal on
one side and the Prince OF Cleves
on the other, was continually watch
ing US. Her interest in their con
y~ersation was purely superficial.
Her interest in us, on the contrary,
was an absorbing one. could not
understand It at all.s
The conclusion OF dinner was
marked by an absence OF all cere-
mony. The cigarettes had already
been passed round before the
Archduchess rose, but those who
chose to remain at the table did So

The Archduchess swept up to
me. She was looking a little an.
noyed.
"Mr. Greatson," she said, "1sobel
is pleading shyness-an absurd ex-
cuse. She insists that you take her
in to dinner. I suppose she must
have her own way tonight, but it
is annoying"
Madame looked at me as though
It were my fault that her plans
were d~lsarranged, which was a
little unfair. And then Isobel, very
serene, but with that weary look
about the eyes which seemed only
to have increased during the
evening, came quietly up and took
my arm.
"If this Is to be our last evening,
Arnold, we will at least spend as
much OF It as possible together"
she said gently. II will be a very
dutiful niece. aunt. tomorrow"
We moved off together, but not
before l was struck with something
singular in Madame's expression.
She stood looking at US tive as
though some wholly new idea had
presented itself to her. She did
not follow US into the dining room
for some moments.

For some" she murmured, "the
task then is very difficult. Where

ventions and the doors are fast
locked, It Is very easy to be stifled,
but It is hard indeed to breathe"
Princess" I said gravely, have
you examined the windows?"

answered.

clared. Even II you must remain
In the forcing house, It is for you

She sighed.
"Ah, Mr.. Greatson," she said,

Court"
"You have a great opportunity"
I answered. Character is a flower
which blossoms in all manner OF
places. Sometimes It comes nearest
to perfection in the most unlikely
spots. Prosperity and sunshine are
not the best things in the world for
1t. Sometimes in the gloomy and
desolate places its growth is the
s~turdiest and its flowers the
sweetest"
The service of dinner had been
announced. The English Ambassa-
dor took Adelaide away from me,
but as she accepted his arm she
looked me In the eyes with a grave
but wonderfully sweet smile,

Now somebody or other has come
forward with an explanation Of bald
ness In men. II completely reverses
the old dictum to the effect that bald
ness arises from too persistent wear
ing Of hat or cap. The new theory Is
that it is the violet ray In the sun
light which kills the hair and causes
1t to fall out. For our part We be-
neve neither theory, says the Michigan
State Journal. Badness Ii q distine-
ton the Creator has served up from
the beginning against this day when
women have taken everything that ap-
pertaineth to man-his trousers, his
ballot, his tobacco-everything but his
bald head. The distinction Of the bald
head is vouchsafed to men az q grand
hailing sign amongst brothers. We
have not yet come to the View that sci
ence Is everything. We still like to
believe in special dispensations.

Friends of the Ocala industrial
school will be more pleased than ever
to attend the Sunday school services
of that institution, held every Sunday
afternoon. The services are now held
il the auditorium, in the dining hall,
next to the dining room. It is twice
as large as the school room in the first
building, where services have been
held since that building was complet-
ed. It is also much better lighted
and ventilated. The Sunday school
service is always pleasant occur
renee for the young students and
their friends-plenty of singing and
some short talks, but no preaching.
The school is now almost filled to its
capacity. In the last two months a
number of the girls have finished their
time of instruction and gone home,
and it is worthy of note that nearly
all have written letters to the superin-
tendent, testifying that they didn't
know what a home the school had
been to them until they left it. In
the same time a considerable num-
Der of new scholars have come in, and
are showing that they appreciate the
