this country young, unmarried girls
habitually wear lower evening gowns
than their mothers-thOugh among
well bred French women. unmarried
girls are not so privileged
Now since this is customary it is not
in bad taste, because it attracts no
undue attention and causes no mis-
judgment.
The same thing holds true in regard
to tathing costumes. Ha3 women
worn the sort of bathing suits that
they do now ten or twenty years ago,
they would have been hooted off the

THE POWER OF OBERON

Jealous of the power of the Fairies
and never loses chance to display
his powers of magic charm.
King Oberon is called the King of
the Fairies, but he really has little
to do with ruling and has power only
during the hour between the night
and day.
One night the COLLINS capering
about came across King Oberon sitting
under leaf In the woods waiting for
the charmed hour when at his COM

control.

gherita in Italy and Spain, the Scotch
favOrite was the lifting name of Mar
jorie Margaret Ethel took it to the
land of the thistle and seems to have
contrived to make it almost the ma
tiOnal Scottish name. Margaret gained
vogue in England through the famous
Margaret of AnjOu, Margaret Beau
fort, mother of Henry VII, and her
granddaughter Margaret Tudor.
But the Oldest of all derivatives is
Marjorie. Bruces daughter is perhaps
the most famous of the Scottish wom-
EN- so called. 1t was readily contract
ed to Maisie-whO does not recall

surname MarjOribanks was derived
from the barOny Of Ratio granted to
Marjorie Bruce on her marriage with
the high steward of Scotland Mar
gerry also flourished in Scotland where
the little poem originated:
My sister Margery gentle May,
Took all my little bones away"
May is an endearment evolved from
Marjorie anu MdISiIet. EuWdTu SteO-

names which runs:

magic hour came around and King
oDeron changed them all into spiders
winch scampered to the dell as fast
as their legs would carry them.
Inc little Fairies and their Queen
were sitting around a cobweb table
cioth spread upon the ground eating
Ialry food when all at once from
the tree and bushes dropped those
naughty spider COLLINS right in their
midst.
Up jumped the Fairies crying out
with fright and away they ran, hiding
under all sorts of things to escape
their tormentors.
But the COLLINS were not satisfied
with frightening the Fairies once !;
they ran this way and that, trying to
find them and send them fitting about
like so many scared little butterflies
When the Fairy Queen saw the
spider COLLINS looking for the Fairies
she knew that some charmed spell
was upon them and when she touched
one with her wand and that did not
change 1t TO Goblin she knew that
1t was King OberOn's work, for she
could not undo his work until his hour
was over
SO she whispered to all of her
Fairies telling them not to be fright
ened, that 1t was the mischievous Cob
Inns and that they would be sorry
little fellows if they could be kept in
the dell until the magic hour of King
OberOn's power had passed
So the Fairies pretended to be very
much frightened and the COLLINS in
tent upon their pranks and thinking
1t was great fun stayed until the sun
was up.
They scampered off in a hurry when
they saw the light, but, of course,
King Oberon had gone home long be-
fore.
"Oh, what shall we do?" moaned
the COLLINS, for in their spidery forms
they could not give the magic signal,
the three knocks that opened the door
to their homes inside the mOss-covered
rocks.
And, there the Queen and her Fairies
found them, for they followed them
soon after they ran, well knowing
what would happen and If anyone
begged hard to be helped out of trou-
BILE those mischievous little COLLINS
did when they saw the Fairy Queen.

promised never, never again to go to

THE HAND OF A MUSICIAN

XNHEN the lower joints of the
fingers, and especially of the
finger of Saturn, the middle finger,
are well knotted, 1t is mark of
skill in musical composition. Skill in
execution of music is indicated by
finger tips that are well padded.
Some authorities on palmistry hold
that very good sign Of skill and tai
ent-perhaps even genius-in music is
indicated by a finger OF Jupiter Cor
forefnger) that is bent or curved; in
rare cases, even to a degree ap-
preaching the semi-circle. This mark
or sign / accentuated and strength
ened If the finger of Mercury, the lit
tie finger, is also bent in simila.' fash
ion. This shows good musician OF
any sort, but especially pianist. If
only one finger Is bent, some hold. it
is a sign of person who simply has
q great love of music, while the bend
ing of both fingers means perform
er of music.
A short, sharp vertical line on the
mount of Apollo. at the base of the
third finger, is held to mean, invari-
ably, skill in music. If the line of
fortune drumming from the line of life
toward Mercury leaves the line of
life at a sharp angle, it means love
of music.

Versatility OF Etching.

The needle is the crayon; the acid
adds color. The needle is something
all the more eloquent because it's
in more restricted limits. 1t is familiar
and lively in the sketch, which by a
very little must say great deal; the
sketch is the spontaneous letter. 1t all
but reaches the highest expressions
when it is called in to translate a
grand spectacle, or one or those fugi-
tive effects of light which nature
seems to produce but sparingly, so as
to leave to art the merit of fixing
them.-Maxime Lalanne, in "a Urea
