“Beauty
It exalts the m* rest
There is not anything the soul more
crave*
Than Beauty,
line
That through our every-day experience
Waves—
Seeks blindly the Divine.
*V»r what in very truth is this we crave.
Which neither loads the board nor tills
the purse.
Yet, wanting which, the earth were but
a grave.
And life itself a curse?
The visual presence of tlie living <lod.
That permeates creation, comes and
goes.
In substance and in shadow, greens the
sod.
And paints and scents the rose:
And flows through man into his works
of art—
The picture's glow, the statue’s breath-
ing gleam:
For not a touch of beauty stirs the heart.
But comes of the Supreme!

Eugene Markham was getting along thought that was all there was to it.
famously enough before he fell In love , So he was somewhat surprised one
and then with his usual luck he fell
heels over head in love with an heir-
ess. The other fellows were not en-
tions of his success in his work—
that was all honest enough. But for
a man who had weathered the finan-
cial storm far enough to be self-sup-
porting by his work as sculptor, to
fall into a cool million just because
the favor of petticoats—that was the
unendurable thing about it.
All of us had had our little affairs
with petticoats; were having them all
the time, in fact, and still are. but

jawed. tow-headed dabbler in mud.
who shied at the fair sex, and had
never had a real bona fide affair, any-
way, falling into the very midst of the
Four Hundred the first flop—well, It
tended to discourage honest endeavor.
’Gene was in love all right, though.
Nobody could discount that. He left
off work almost entirely and took up
poetry for diversion. The old crowd
saw little of him, and we did not lose
much at that. When he did drop in-
to the particular r.tudio where the
pipes and beer were in evidence, he
was stupid enough. He seemed to be
sort of turned inwards. He even gave
up the Saturday nights at Maffloli’s;
said he’d have to cut out the wine
now that he was about to be allied
to an angel—or some such stuff as
that.
The only time he ever woke up and
noticed things during those weeks
was when somebody would listen to
him talk about her. Then he was all
enthusiasm. She certainly had him
going all right.
And I reckon she was about as bad-
ly gone on him. She really was a
pretty sort of girl—not the most acute
in the world, but an honest sort of
person, despite all the fol-de-rols she
was surrounded with. And swell
well, there was no doubt about that
Clothes and carriages and footmen
and coachmen, and all the fixings of
the upper crust. It used to give the
hoys the jim-jams to see her drive up
to the door of the little old building
where most of us drew our drawings
made our music, constructed our poet-
ry or rehearsed our parts. Well, we
never could get reconciled to that
carriage and team, and as for the
coachman and footman—well, I be-
lieve somebody would have murder-
ed them only that they seemed to
ba a great snap for Van Blinks, the
cartoonist, who certainly did get
abundant use out of them. I often
wondered if those menials or anybody
In the Fitzgerald family ever saw the
papers; still I don’t suppose they
would have recognized themselves.
The funny thing was that the girl’s
family didn’t make any row over the
match. I reckon Miss Florence came
pretty near having her own way In
the house anyway. Old Fitzgerald,
pere, was defunct, and mere took
things pretty easy. As for the girl,
she not only was very much in love
with him, but was immensely proud
of his artistic attainments.
Well, time lifci on, as Houston is for-
day to receive a summons to appear
at the office of Aaron Gammon, attor-
ney for the Fitzgerald family, either
in person or by attorney, and arrange
terms.
Not having a lawyer, and having, on
the contrary, a deadly fear of the
cult, he went himself. He had no
Idea what It was all about. Ho hadn’t
anything to settle on anybody himself
and he didn't want anything settled
on him.
The keen-eyed attorney soon made
It evident to the young sculptor that

rimony.

Markham?" he inquired.

four years,” he replied, flushing.
of divorce or separation your income
reverts to her."
By this time Markham Was in a tow
ertng rage.
"Is that all?” he demanded, sarcas-
tically.
"No.’’ said the lawyer, crossing his
legs judiciously. "There is the matter
of who is to pay the household ex-
penses, and in what proportion.”
"Don’t mention It.” replied Mark-
ham. "I intend to take up a collection
for the purpose."
•’It is usual for the husband to
take care of all regular expenses,”
went en the lawyer, 'although the
wife sometimes takes care of extra-
ordinary entertaining.”
“We might shake dice every morn-
ing to determine as to that day's
bills,” suggested 'Gene.
He picked up his hat and strode out.
Whe- he arrived at his studio he
found a messenger there with all the
formidable documents Lawyer Gam-
mon had been handling over all day.
He took them inside, looked first at
tjiem. then at the picture of Florence
Fitzgerald on the mantel. Then he
gathered legal documents and picture
together and pitched them all into
the grate. Then he wrote this note
to Miss Fitzgerald:
“My dear Miss Fitzgerald—Upon
conferring with my physician I deeply
regret to learn that tt will be many
years before I will ho able to take up
the serious and manifold obligations
of marriage. In fact, 1 am ordered to
go abroad at once, and I leave to-
night. Please forgive and forget.
With the greatest respect, I remain

pened. You see 'Gene had no Idea

and great, and after he and the girl
decided to get married and there ap-
peared to be no objection to him on
the part of bar family, he naturally
might shake dice every morn-

How is it invested?” asked the law-
yer.
“It Is not Invested,” replied Mark-
ham, shortly. "It's in a hank. Do
you want it?”
"Tut, tut, young man,” remarked
the attorney. “All these preliminaries
are necessary, 1 assure you. before we
•ie up a great estate like that of the
Fitzgeralds. Well, we’ll waive that.
Now, It Is proposed to settle on your
wife a naljlion dollars in gilt-edged

sideration (I might say it is proposed
to settle on you a life interest in a
very comfortable fortune which will
yield you an income of fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars) for this con-
sideration, I say you will formally re-
linquish all claims you have or may
acquire in the fortune of Florence
Helen Fitzgerald.”
Markham stared at the lawyer In
amazement. His ardent passion was
beginning to pale before this on-
slaught of details and figures.
“Go on,” he said.
"In case of the death of your wife
without issue your Income will cease,
and the lawyer added another formid-
able document to the growing pile in
front of Markham. “And your wife's
fortune will revert to the Fitzgerald
family.
“In case of your death before your
wife, without issue,” went on the law-
yer, selecting another paper, “the for-
tune invested for you will revert to
her.” He laid the mass of type-
writing on top of the rest.
Any other mortuary matters?"
asked Markham.
‘Yes,’’ replied the lawyer, “If you
die and there is issue, your estate
will pass to the children of you and
Florence Helen Fitzgerald in equal
parts.”
"Very interesting,” ventured Mark
ham, biting the end off a cigar.
“If Florence Helen Fitzgerald dies
before you with issue, her estate will
go to a trustee for the benefit of her
children, and your income will con-
tinue until the children die, you die,
or are married again.”
“Yes, yes; married again,” murmur-
ed Markham, brushing his hand across
his eyeB.
“In case of a divorce or separation,’
continued the lawyer, —”
“Divorce!’ shrieked Markham, drop-
ping his cigar.
"Ye», yes," went on the lawyer,
soothingly. "We must provide against
all contingencies, you know In case
He Was Middle Aged and Wore
Heavy Brown Mustache.
There was a sick man In a bachelor
apartment the’ other day and a nurse
was needed. It was not deemed de-
sirable to have a woman nurse, as
three men occupied the apartment to-
gether. So a man nurse was employ-
ed although there was some fear ex-
pressed that the tenderness and gen-
tleness of a woman nurse might be
missed.
But the masculine substitute, who
was a middle-aged person in glasses
soon proved that he was not going to
be brutal.
“May I have one of those big boxes
that the roses came In?” he asked
soon after settling down. “They'd
he so splendid for my embroidery."
“Embroidery?” repeated the person
addressed. "What do you mean by
that?”
“Why, my centerpieces,” he repeat
ed. pulling at a heavy brown mus-
tache. “It would be just the thing for
them. I really can do wonderful em-
broidery. Some time I’ll bring somo
around.”
He kept his word and one night sat
under the lamp embroidering a large
centerpiece while his patient slept.
The next day he asked what was
going to bft done with a basket in
which somqjruit had been sent.
Be just Lie thing for my knitting,
he murmured jn explanation.
He got the" basket and the next
night knit a pair of gray wool socks.

Mr. Packer’s View.
"I have an idea,” said the plain
citizen, "that the czar will have hard
work to raise that hillion-dollar indem-
nity.”
"Most idiotic man I ever saw,” re-
sponded Mr. Packer. “He knows it
has to he paid, so instead of getting
around and wondering where he’s go-
ing to get money, why doesn’t he get
busy and organize a trust?”—Detroit

To whose Irresistible coming I yield.
Alasl must my loneliness, labor and sor-
row
Find thee, ere the Reason for pain be
revealed?
Child of the World, thy new Kingdom's

Long is the pathway that millions have
trod.
Wilt thou reproach that In travail I bore
thee.
And gave thee to men when I took thee

Give Russia the Credit.
It is a singular fact that Russia is
the country which first gave the great
est encouragement to the woman doc-
tor. The Woman's Medical Institute
in St Petersburg, on Its foundation
was hailed as the only place in the
world where a woman could take out
medical degrees. But, in 188G Min
ister Warrowsky closed It. Now It
has suddenly come to life again, the
czar has given it an endowment, and
its students have all the privileges
hitherto accorded men. Why and
wherefore? Because the war is taking
all the men doctors, and if their places
are not filled the unhappy empire is
at the mercy of any epidemic that
may come along.
Making a Cheerless Prediction.
“Do you think that our country will
ever succeed in getting rid of graft-
ers?”
"Yes,” answered Senator Sorghum.
“There will be a time when grafters
are unheard of. But It will he due
to the change that is constantly going
on in our vocabulary. There will he
a new —------
’.hing.”
Braised Lamb.
A very nice method of cooking lamb
Is to bruise It. Braising Is cooking
meat in its own steam on a bed of
vegetables. When prepared In this
way the flavor of the vegetables en-
ters the meal and makes ti more ap-
poti^ftg. Any small joint of lamb
may he honed or not, as convenient,
If the former put the bones In a stew-
pan with one or two onions, five or
six young carrots, some herbs and a
blafe of mace. Pour over sufficient
stock to cover, or water may be used.
Lay the joint on this, and cover with
a slice or two of fat bacon and let it
cook slowly for two hours. Take out
the meat, brown It in the oven, strain
the gravy, boll It rapidly till reduced
to half a pint, brush the ntent over

Hint for Linen Costume.
Linen costumes in coat and skirt
design are many and varied, the coat,
ranging from the long-filled tailor gar-
ment, in firm, heavy linen, to the
jaunty little boleros. One in white Is
built on severely tailored lines and
needs a wearer of good figure and de-
mands the work of a very clever tail-
or; It has no trimming save strapped
seams, heavily stitched. The double-
breasted vest is particularly cachet
and the tiny pockets on each side give
an attractive touch. A white kid belt
with gold buckle holds the basqued
coat in place. The hat accompanying
this smart costume is white Panama
with a delightful arrangement of green
roses for decoration.

“Think so, eh?” replied M'arkley.

Much wrath will be pardoned in
th<» girl who bought for her summer
outfit the pretty, wide belts of colored
silks thaf she thought would be so
effective with her Eton jackets. In-
deed, there will he excuse for her if
she use the kind of ejaculations to
which the angels shut their ears when
she “tops" or “slices" her drives on
the links. The sad fact Is fashion has
frowned on the wide bolt and the nar-
row one has “conte in" again. To be
wholly in the mode they must he made
of the same material as the skirl and

are permissible.
Voile Much Worn.
The popular material is voile of so
sheer a quality as to closely gesemble,
chiffon. It Is striped, wavetj, checked,
dotted and embroidered lit all the
delicate shades, and Is alipost invarl-
bly made over white taffeta. In dark
eolorsj—dark blues and browns are
shown, and these are also made over
white and trimmed usually rf taffeta
made of the same color as the gown.
The girdles are of the voile, tightly
drawn. Soft silk, an entirely new
fabric resembling neolin, is another
popular material. It comes in all
colors and is either checked, striped
or dotted. Taffetas are striped and
of light weight.
Hairnet Back in Style.
One revival of crinoline times
which has met with a most cordial
acceptance is the hairnet. In Its
lightest form It is of human hair and
absolutely invisible when well match-
ed. This does beautifully for the girl
of delicately chisled features and
spiritnelle expression. But the girl
whose type and air are more strongly
expressed will favor the silk-meshed
net-i, especially those that have a
glistening bead caught in the meshes,
and she, too, will take to the new

Among the stocks to be worn with
white shirtwaists is a jaunty model,
with a white duck collar and colored
silk stock, held by tiny buttons, so
