LIFE OF hiANNEQUI IN PARIS SHOP NOT ALL ROSES, DECLARE DESIGNERS

natural gifts, but the ability to present froclz to the best advantage can only be acquired after months of study of beautiful attitudes, except in the case of a few rare stars who seem born to the trade. The final test nearly always comes with the way she can wear a coat and the tres decollete robe. There are many recruits who must be told after a few weeks that they will never have beautiful gowns, for they do not know how to wear them.'
 Many of the would-be models were formerly in society or literary circles and imagine that the only work a mannequin has tC do is to show off lovely robes, forgetting there is a rougher side to the picture, for mannequins have to spend weary hours trying on" robes when they are being created and retouched- To many little Parisiennes and country girls the salon of the fashionable dressmaker exerts the same attraction a the stage. There are luxurious rooms, with soft carpets and low lights and on the big days of the sea sons opening there is music and a crowd of chic people. Tales are told of the brilliant marriages of manne- quins, now become important women of society, forgetting to mention others who have had a lamentable end ,-and their number is legion.

on the nineyear theory of the erup- ton of Mokuaweoweo, the boiling pit on the summit of Mauna Loa.
 That great cauldron, the second largest active volcano in the world. has belched forth molten ava every nine years since science was first at tracted to this famous volcanic zone.
 Prof. Thomas A. dagger, ve1canoIo- gist, who is now at the Volcano House on the big island, supports the theory.
 Mauna Loa erupted last in Septem- Der, 1916. The eruption was followed by the Deriod.ca lava flow in 1919. The theory is that the lava breaks out Of the summit Tn these cycles of nine years and is followed by a flow out of the side. Should the theory be borne out in the spring as in former years the eruption will occur in 1923 and the subsequent lava flow in 1925.
 The other pit of Kilauea. on the side of the mountain. Mauna Loa, is steadily rising and shows considerable gain after each rise. The lake Of the pit is rising now at the rate of six feet a day and is expected to show its greatest activity between Dec. IS and 22. when large group of visit DTS from all over the islands is planning to visit the volcano.
 Although the lake of lava in the pit is constantly rising and is over- flowing on the northern edge, wnere the sides are lower. the pit does not present an alarming spectacle, for the lake is so far down it looks tiny from the edge of the crater. The air is very clear, however. and the bolt on1 of the pit can easily be seen. The floor is at a depth of 500 feet now, The rim of the crater is nearly two miles in circumference.
 Slight earthquakes are being felt in the vicinity of the volcano almost constantly now, and these give further credence to the belief that an earthquake will occur in the spring.

He made no further explanations. Cecilia
reproached herself inwardly for having inter
fered possibly by her late call with tete-a
tete which for Balthazar might have been full
of charm as we'll as of sorrow. She got up to
go. But the master urged her to sit down at
the piano. He wished to hear her again in
the Beethoven andante in which she had shown
such superlatitve intuition. She obeyed Her
fingers ran over the ivory keys. Her whole
soul melted into the 1uidity Of the sounds.

Do you see the father in Mr.. Hogarths
superb cut? Do you notice how he is literally
infested with children? They are like para
sites, clngng to him, winding about him, ut
terly destroying all power Of motion and
thought. This is dreadful condition. 1t is
all very well to be an event in the childrens
day, but one must not become banquet!
Unless a father is extremely careful he
will find all his recreational time completely
absorbed by his young. They are guttons for
amusement. The hours which he sets aside
for rest and relaxation, for freshening of
his mind, will be shattered by assorted noises.

anything that would turn her from her worship

no doubt, when he had told her that there
wasn't anything left for him to teach her.
Probably he wanted to test her, or to Law
trap for her innocence. If that was so, he had
succeeded. The idea that she would have to
give up his instruction threw her into the most
painful perplexity. He alone had filed her
whole life. He had taken her when she was
small and initiated her, little by little, into the
mysteries of sounds. The feeling she had for
him was feeling completely apart, made up
OF respect, tenderness and gratitude. All those
who have piously received the instruction of a
master know what privileged place that mas
ter holds in the heart Of his disciples. Cecilia
preferred to give up everything else rather
than lose Balthazar

She had nothing in common with her
~ namesake the Roman maiden who sub
mtted to martyrdon1 rather than con-

nothing but the taste for music which had
been cultivated in her since infancy. Her
sensibility had been shaped by sounds.
Even before she had come into possession Of
her own personality she knew the outer life
and the inner life through the single emotion
which a page of music, skilfully interpreted,
caused her. At twelve she played in concerts.
Cecilia took account of the singular power
which her art gave her. She lived outside and
above other humans. In her parents presence
she was discreet and reserved. 1t was only
with her old teacher, Bathazar, that she rec
ognized true intellectual relationship. With
him she felt at ease
To-day she began her seventeenth year. She
had changed her coffure and put on a neck
