First Tweed Trousers.

CIR WALTER SCOTS black-and-
white tweed trousers figured in
a paper dealing with the designing
and coloring Of Scotch tweeds read
at a textile congress held at Hawick
some time ago. The author was one
of the earliest wearers Of tweed and
the first pieces were made in the
black-and-white design.
Colored checks were introduced by
accident. A, manufacturer had a
number Of pieces and the white was
so Impure and dirty-looking that
they could not be sold. Then some-
one suggested that IL the pieces were
dyed brown the defect would be COW
cred. The suggestion was acted
upon and a new check of black and
brown was the result.
The new color was sent to London
and sold rapidly. 1t was a short
step to dye black and green and
black and blue, and to make broken
checks, and the trade increased amaz-
ingly.
Ideas for colors were collected in
the bed OF the River Garry and the
Pass Of Killiecrankie. It was now
possible for lady to have q rever-
sible skirt made up in such way
that she might appear at one time
In . modest blue ana at another In
the tartan of her clan.

Alfred was always communing with
Muses., which paid poor space rates:
and. besides, George was the sort of
girl who was too proud to see her
lover work. So George set to work
in a vulgarly Industrious fashion to
provide means enough to keep Alfred
ana his soul within spanking distance.
Alfred began to get sensRtive about
people calling him 'rMr. George Sand"
and told people that he was terribly
bored at the sight Of that cow al
ways writing" He began to spend
Georges money on girls who didn't
know q quill from plain goose
feather. As result. he had a bad
case Of delirium tremens. Between
chapters Of her novel George nursed
tenderly. She called in young We
netian doctor. and asked him what
was the matter with her sick soul
mate.
.Wine, women and song" answered
the doctor, trying to assure Alfred
that there were no pink-winged croc-
odiles or creditors in the room.
..But doctor" exclaimed George,
.Alfred doesn't sing"
Evening star., 1922-04-16

THE doctor liked Georges sense
I Of humor. and she liked his da'
vinci haircut, SO they returned to
Paris together, leaving Alfred to his
fate.
Then entered Franz Liszt. who
pounded his way to Georges heart
with the Second Hungarian Rhapsody
or was it the third? Anyway the
doctor felt himself slipping.
Said Franz Of George Sand: "she
catches her butterflies. feeds them
nectar until they are quite tame,
sticks a pin in them and stuns them
for material for her novels" Almost
before he knew 1t. Franz was caught.
fed, stuck and stuffed.
He brought it on himself by taking
his best friend out to see George one
night. This friend was named Fred
eric Chopin, and he had written sew
eral promising piano pieces. Chopin
Immediately became grist for Georges
literary-matrimonial mill.
Frederic was frail little creature,
forever blowing bubbles. and trying
to develop enough strength in his
biceps to make the polonaise mill
taire sound like the Poles licking
the very tar out OF the Russians.
He never did, but he took fancy
to. the big woman, George Sand, who

A ND when Georges daughter ran

George did not approve. and Chopin
took their part. there was a terrible
quarrel.
Take your nasty mazurkas on my
piano" stormed George. and Chopin
rolled up his scherzos and departed.
George had accumulated a splendid
record. She had vamped a novelist,
a celebrated poet and two master
musicians, to say nothing Of sundry
others, including a spiritualist. for
whose paper she wrote a series OF
Ouija board articles.
TITS no use, girls" was her final
verdict "Afiinities exist only in my
novels"
So she retired from the vamping
field and quietly wrote "reminiscences
and novels until she was seventy
four years of age.
Her last words were: Calm, always
calm" but nobody ever knew where
she got the calm part of 1t.

Frederic the Tender visited her at
her summer home at Nohant. and
she nursed him carefully when he fell
sick. This time there was no Vene-
tian doctor near. After he was thor
oughly tanned she took him to the
Isle Of Majorca to escape the colo.
Chopin had never had many women
make a fuss over him, and he rather
liked the treatment. While sojourn-
ing at Majorca he wrote some OF his
finest selections.
One day there was q little dog chas-
ing his tail around the room, and
George Aurore cried:
"oh. Chopie, dear, there's an idea
for you. Write me q piece about
little Fido chasing his tail"
So Chopin wrote the Little Dog
Waits" He said he was glad there
wasn't hippopotamus around chas-
ing his tail, as he didn't write music
for bass drums.
For nine years Chopin held sway
over the transient affections Of
George Sand. But he was always

In the meantime, Aurore had written

George Sand, and they had become

about herself and her friends, with
her first husband for the villain.
But one day Aurore returned from
a trip without wiring Jules Of her

And now George Aurore suffered

George Sand, who
wrote the "The and

bird who experimental with
Y a number Of roosts and de-
cided at the tender age OF
seventv-four that there amt no sucn
animal as permanent love. She wrote
a great many books. one OF "nicn
was called "He and She." and all OF
which were more or less concerheo
with hims and her.
If they had christened her Gulne-
we're or Sallie it might have been GIL
ferent. But they named the cniio
Aurore. and she felt the boreaiis
coming on from infancy.
Aurore was born at a Dance ana
her first resolution was to make hfe
lust one long love waltz. At the
death of her father. Maurice Dupin,
Aurore went to live with her grand
mother, and. like Topsy. Just
Rrowed." Her education was sadly
left undid until she was thirteen.
and then she put in only two years
at q convent.
Back again at her grandmother's
estate at Nohant, she met a chap
named Casimir Dudsvant. She was
eighteen and susceptible. SO they
were married. For nine years they
got along pro and con. But when
Aurore began to write letters to
literally fellow on the subject of the
nebular hypothesis, or something
like that that was miles over Cash
Mrs head, Casimir made life unbear-
able for the girl. So she picked up
her two human offsprings and all her
brain children and walked.
She went to Paris and lived in a
earret. And instead of trying to
paint the town, she confined her ar
tistic talents to decorating SNUFF
boxes and fans. Failing to pay the
rent by this means, she tried writ
ing. She got a job pulling sob stuff
on Le Figaro, a newspaper, and
earned the. queenly salary of $s a
month.
In Paris she ran across a man she
had known at Nohant, a lawyer
named Jules Sandeau. Jules also had
literary aspirations, SO they formed
q partnership under the name of
Jules Sand. Mr.. Sandeau had never
cared for the "eau" on the end of his
name because that meant water
which was merely used for scenic
purposes in those days.
