Fashion by Night A Magnificent Evening Gou)n Modeled hy Paris Artistes By BEATRICE FAIRFAX ( i ¥ CAL.LE I times," 'RD on a girl a number of a young man writes, "and I found her very agreeable, and 1 admit I made love to her. I had no Intention of being serious, and now find that she is desperately In love with me. As I do not want to marry her, what can 1 do?" But that is the very thing you must dp. A man so fascinating as vour-- -Sfif, who calls on a girl a few times, . -1 lo, the mischief is done, must be safely corraled within the bonds of mat- T‘*nony tl r.t this needless slaughter of female, hearts may cease. Safely married to n woman who real- . ! s what a dangerous person you are * to he at large among weak, fluttering female hearts, you will never again have opportunity for making few passes at n girl with a wave of your hand, and re duce her to a state of paralytic adoration in doing It. So long as your wife, lives, no girl will again be desperately In love with you if she knows it. So long as you remain single this frail of women’s hearts strewn crush ed and bleeding in the path you have trod will continue to grow. For the sake of the women helpless before your charms; for the sake of a nation which can not prosper with all its womankind dying of love, you must marry, and mar ry at once. Many Sacrifices. T admit that you will make many sac rifices. It will be a hardship to a man of your temperament to confine all your lovemaking to one woman, and many, many times you will be aghast at the sacrifice of limiting all your fascina tions to the four walls of your own home, but It must be done and I hope you are sensible to the necessity. It is your misfortune to be fascinating, but no 0*1 e. will hold you to blame If you hold those powers within some restraint. When holding to car strap; when en gaged in your daily occupation, if it be that of interpreting the law or selling muslins: keep your mind on the task in hand and don't raise your eyes to the face of any woman. Remember always your fatal power of rendering the wom en desperately in love with you, and have mercy on my sex. If you are en gaged In an occupation that throws you in contact with the silly creatures, quit It. and go to digging trenches where your living will depend on keeping those fascinating eyes on the ground. Some Simple Rules. Never leave the house in the even- 'lug or on a Sunday without your wife hy your side, and when you feel that you can no longer exist without some display of your fascinating power, try them on her. Make love to her, though you may not mean it; make eyes at her, squeeze her hand, and endeavor by every art of which you are master to cause her to love you desperately. . Having renewed the flame of her love V, such bounds, she ■ will double her vigilance over you, and reduce to a minimum the dangerous influence you may exert over other women. Perhaps vou may argue that you In tend in marry, hut would rather wait till you have made love to a girl seriously, j ,at. most irresistible of yOur sex, is something you will never do. To be se rious in love is something beyond you. ,jrry the girl who thought you were Minus, and in her hands entrust your 1 future. This picture shows one of Paris’s most, sensational mod els in eve ning gowns. Gold and silver trimmings and embroiderings give it an exceptionally rich appear ance. Its unusual style and daring departures from old-time methods give it a most striking effect. T HIS Is one of the handsomest models produced from the Paris shops this season. It’s foundation Is "mole” charmeuse. The top of the bodice is a fichu of guipure veiled by an "amethyst” silk muslin, which falls back in two long points.

It was called How a Husband & Wife shud act to Avoid Quarls. It was a Mg book, about a foot thick. This hook Bobble, sed Pa, Is a book that was wrote by a very wise guy. He was married three times & his first two wife* left him beefoar lie realized that he was hard to git along with, so wen he married the third time he made up his mind to study the fair sex &. find out what wud humor them.

Bob ble, so wen you grow up A git a wife of yure own you will be abel to greet her right at all times & salv quarls Good Rules. Rule 1—The husband shud never be- oum angry at the saim time that the wife Is angry. One angry person in a fambly is enuff at a time. Rule 2—The wife shud newer stay angry after she has gone to sleep. She might have a nitemare. Rule 3—When a husband is contra- dickted by a wife he shud smile sweetly & say, wen his wife gives him a chanat, " I dare say you are right." That Is the greatest sentence that was ewer invented for making matrimony pos- sibel. Now, Bobbie, sed Pa. there is a good point right thare. I^et us go in the other room & I will ask you to notis how yure Ma acts wen I answer her that way. "1 dare say you are right.” So we went in the living room & Ma was thare. She w&r kind out of sorta about sumthing, I guess, beekaus she looked at Pa & me kind of cross wen we caim In. Well, I suppose you want yure supper, Sed Ma. Yes, deerest, 3ed Pa. It is a wonder that you & our son dident fool around in the library until It was time for brekfust, sed Ma. The men nowadays, sed Ma, act for all the wurld as If wlmmen was made to wait on them A- newer give anything else a thought. I dare say you are rite, sed Pa. Of course, I am rite* sed Ma. Now thare Is Missus Norris. She jest left a few minutes before you got hoam. She toald me that her husband reefused to buy her another frock until next month and then went to his club and lost four dollars bowling ten pins. Think of It, sed Ma. unable to buy his little wife another frock when she only had three, and then going and losing four dollars bowling. That Is the man of It for you.

TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT. i i \ TOT that alone,” she answered, with a shudder. *‘I have said A that I should under ordinary circumstances have thought he was merely training for the autumn 9ports —for, you see, he was in a running costume of white cotton stuff and his legs were bare from the knees down— but as he shot past me In the moon light I caught sight of something like a huge splash of blood on his clothes, and coupling that with the rest I nearly went out of my senses. It wasn’t until long afterward I recol lected that the badge of the County Club Is the Winged Foot of Mercury wrought in,brilliant scarlet embroid ery. To me, just then, that thing of red was blood—my uncle’s blood— and I ran and ran and ran until I got oack here to the house and flew up the covered passage and burst into the Round House. He was sitting there rtffl—Just as he had been sitting be fore. But he didn’t call out Lo me this time; he didn’t reprove me for dis turbing him; didn't make one single movement, utter one single sound. And when I flew to him I knew why. He was dead—stone dead! The face and throat of him were torn and rent as If some furious animal had mauled him. and there were curious yellow- stains upon his clothes. That’s all Mr. Headland, that’s all. I don’t know what I did nor where I went from the moment I rushed shrieking from that room until I came to my senses and found myself in this one with dear, kind Mrs. Armroyd here, bending over me and doing all in her power to soothe and to comfort me.” “It Is Better.’’ “There, there, cherle, you shall not more distress yourself. It Is of a hardness too great for the poor mind to bear,” put In Mrs. Armroyd herself at this, bending over the sofa as she spoke and voftly smoothing the girl’s hair. “It is better she should be at peace for a little, is it not. mon sieur?” “Very much better, madame,” re plied Cleek, noting how softly her hand fell and how gracefully it moved over the soft hair and across the white forehead. “No doubt th- major part of what still remains to be told, you in the goodness of your heart will supply ” “Of a certainty, monsieur, of a cer tainty.” “ but, for the present,” continued Cleek finishing th interrupted sen tence. “there stil] remain one or two questions which must be asked, and which only Miss Renfrew herself can answer. As those are of a private and purely personal nature, madame, would it be asking too much ?” He gave his shoulders an eloquent Frenchified shrug, looked up at her after the manner of her own country men and let the rest of the sentence go by default. “Madame” looked at him and gave her little hands an airy and a graceful flirt. “Of a certainty, monsieur,” she said, with charming grace, •“Cela m’est egal.” And walked away with a step remarkably light and remarkably graceful for one of such weight and generous dimensions. A Private Talk. “Miss Renfrew,’’ said Cleek, sink ing his voice and looking her straight In the eyes, as soon as Mrs. Armroy i had left them, “Miss Renfrew, tell me something, please. Have you any suspicion regarding the identity or the purpose of the person who mur dered your uncle?” “Not in the slightest. Mr. Headland. Of course, in the beginning my thoughts flew at once to Sir Ralph Droger, but I now see how ahsu’rj it is to think that such as he—” “I am not even hinting at Sir Ralph Droger," interposed Cleek. "Two other people 1n the world have a ‘motive’ quite as strong as any thai might be assigned to him. You, of course, feel every confidence in the honor and integrity of Mr. Charles Drummond?” Kept in His Desk. “Mr. Headland!” "Gently, gently, please! I merely wished to know’ if in your heart yoii had any secret doubt, and your flar ing up like that has answered me. You see. one has to remember that the late Mr. Nosworth is said to have made a will in your favor. The state ment Is correct, is it not?” “To the best of my belief—yes.” ‘ Filed it with his solicitors has he?” "That I can’t say. I think not, how ever. He was always sufficient unto himself and had a rooted objection to trusting anything of value to the care of any man living. Even his most important documents—plans and for mula of his various inventions; even the very lease of this property—have always been kept in the desk in the laboratory.” "Hum-m-m!" said Cleek—and pinched his chin hard. Then, after a moment. “One last question,” he went on. suddenly. "What do you know, Miss Renfrew, of the recent move ments of Mr. Harry Nosworth, the son who was kicked out A ” ‘•Nothing, nothing—absolutely noth ing!” she answered, with a look of something akin to horror. “I know’ what you are thinking of, but al though he is as bad as man can be it is abominable to suppose that ne would lift his hand against his own father.” To Be Continued To-morrow. it Y OU take it from me, sir," said the old showman, "that the higher education of animals is a mistake. "I have trained all sorts of beasts from fleas to elephants. I’ve taught horses to dance on their hind legs, dogs to act music-hall sketches, ele phants to play the barrel-organ and do all sorts of tricks; but not one of them showed such Intelligence as my educated eel. "I picked him out of the water one day, and was attracted by his cute brown orbs. He looked at me In a sort of friendly, knowin’ way, as if to say: ‘Let’s be friends, guv’nor—real pals.’ "So I picked him up and put him In my pocket. Then a bright idea struck me. I would train him with the other animals and let him take part in my show. Was a Winner, "Talk of the intelligence of animals. That eel simply beat the bunch. He guessed w’hat I wanted him to do be fore I’d thought it out myself. He had the true spirit of the artist, too, he ’ad. He performed because he loved to act. "The first tricks I taught him he took to as mere child's play. In a few days he could put his tall into his mouth and roll round the room, pre tending to be a hoop. He would smile when I said ‘Smile’ in the cutest way. and, what Is more, he would often smile on his own without being told, as if tickled at the humors of this funny world. "Then I taught him to wiggle him self into the shape, of letters. Soon he could twist himself into every letter n the alphabet and spell words as easy as you please. This beats science,’ thought I, when one day he actually spelt my name; so I formed the Idea of inviting some of the greatest scien tists in the country to witness the feats of my marvellous eel. "As the day of the private view drew near I put him regularly through- iis tricks, and that marvellous animal seemed to guess exactly what was In store for him. He got nervous, excit ed, and vain, too. If he had been a « acock I can just imagine him spread ing his tall. Hut he merely blinked his eyes in the cutest, knowin'est way. He Broke Down. "Then ail of a sudden the excite ment began to tell upon him, and he showed signs of a nervous break down. He took trembling fits, which nigh scared me to death. I dosed him with spirit, which seemed to do him >d for a time, but he got weaker an' weaker until at last one morning I found him stretched out stiff and stark upon the floor. “If ever a human being died of brain I 1 fever, that poor beast did. I never trained another eel again He died ( about this time last year, and I would j give anything to have him by me now, j with his cute little smile and his ’ We’re- pals-guvnor look.” Only sixty dollars, Ma sed Thay was eighty dollars last, but you know wlm- men’s clothes has went down a whole lot In price this season. Maybe he cud afford to spend four dollars bowling & cud-dent spend sixty dollars for a other frock, sed Pa. Thare you go, sed Ma, deefending him. Of course, man can do no wrong. The men want to be the lords of cre- ashum. I dare say you are rite, sed Pa. How about dinner? It Is on the table waiting for you, sed Ma. Oh. dear, it is the saim old story, Ma sed. Git the dinner & then put away the dishes. A man’s work is from sun to sun, a woman's work is newer done. Pa sed "I dare say you are rite” wen he had a peece of stalk in his mouth A he nearly choaked. Thar you go Jaffing at me, sed Ma, you are a brute. Poor Pa, I guess he will have to read sum moar rules In his new book. AN’S work lasts from sun to sun, But woman's work Is never done.” And one reason why it is never done is that she is not allowed to do It. Men can understand that other men have necessary work to perform; It Is. however, hard for women of leisure to understand how busy a busy woman may be. And until they do understand this it will not be easy for any woman to labor as steadily and satisfactorily as does a man. A man who is an author sakl to me, “From the time that I fro into my study after breakfast In the morning, until 1 am ready to come out at luncheon, I am not disturbed.” I gasped with envy and also with a little Incredulity, for I know that his study is in his apartment and that he has a wife and children. "I mean It,” he said. "If I would do good work, 1 must be left alone.’’ "But your telephone?” I queried. That is right on your desk.” Should Be Unmolested. He smiled in a superior kind of way. "Ah, yes, but that Is only a switch from the Instrument In the hall, and my wife or the maid answers the main phone. If I am asked for the reply is that I am ‘engaged and cannot be disturbed. I do insist that when the man has gone to business, and the children to school and college, when the orders have been given to the maids, the butcher, grocer, etc., that even a woman might have three or four hours each day in which she need not be disturbed—or, at least, that she might have her morn ings unmolested. “But she should explain to her friends.” save someone. "They would understand and not call on her or tel ephone to her In the morning.” Her friends! Does anyone fancy It la one’s close friends that disturb one? No, indeed! Who is It then who interrupts the woman and Ignores the fact that she is "engaged?” First of all, it Is next to impossible to make a maid understand that when a woman would write a story, paint a picture or give a music lesson she has in view any object except that of amus ing herself for a little while when she has nothing else on hand. Therefore, in spite of interdicts, she often interrupts any one of these occupations to deliver some message that could wait, without Injury, for a half day. But if she is so well trained that she does not do this, she seldom has strength of mind to say to those who would reach her mistress by telephone or In person that the busy woman cannot be disturbed. What Is Another Way? I remember that when I flatUrnd my self that I had at last drilled one mala] into doing this, I discovered that her answer for weeks had been the same, namely, that I was gone away and that nobody knew when I would come back. VV’hen 1 learned of this and protested to her, explaining that her statement was an untruth, she said—with a knowledge of human nature at which I could not sufficiently wonder—"Indade, ma'am, If I sakl you was engaged and couldn’t see ’em, they’d not be satisfied. But If I say you're away, sure what Is there for them to do but lave you alone?” No. It Is not one’s own friends who will not accept the "engaged” statement, for they love one enough to let her alone during her golden morning hours. But there are a plenty of other people who do not love one. Among them are the casual acquaintance, w’ho wants to ask one to subscribe to a certain philantrop- ic movement; the woman who tele phones to ask about a maid who was once In one’s employ and who querist “must engage Immediately if at all," and who talks for at least ten minutes about her past experiences with "help;” the book agent—for whom one cannot help being sorry—the former schoolmate w’ho has not seen one for years, but who, In passing through the city, has "looked one up," and Insists to the hes itating maid that she knows her ^nis- tress will be displeased If this "friend of her girlhood” Is turned from the door; these are among the hundred-and- one people who would be wounded by that “engaged." Yet we are told that It Is not honest to send word that one is "not at home." la thsF* net way in vhkh the members of society wno do nort 'nave rc be let alone to accomplish their worfc can be made to understand that even ft woman may need time and quiet it which to do the task laid to her hand! And yet, what woman calling on an acquaintance, does not feel rebuffed by the message that "Airs. Blank is en gaged, and begs to be excused?" Underground Trespassers : 'd’fZt :: Making Sure :: T HEY were on parade when the Irish drill-sergeant stopped dead in front of the newest re cruit and eyed him steadily from top to toe before he hurst out: “Arrah! an’ here’s a nice state of affairs. How dare ye come here and stand before a dacent man lolke me- self covered in dust from head to foot? Answer me when I spake to ye!” With knocking knees the now thor oughly wretched recruit endeavored to squeeze In a few well-chosen words of explanation, but his attempts were rudely overborne by a further torrent of words from the sergeant, who fair ly bellowed: “Ye would answer me, would ye? Spake at your peril! Now, tell me, ye spalpeen, what have ye been doin’ to yer nice new uniform?" Again the bewiledered recruit opened a capacious mouth as a pre- | Uminary to speech, but the violent ] voice of his superior broke in once again: “Take care!" he shouted. “Oi can j hear ye. If ye answer me when I spakes to ye, I’ll have ye arrested for insolence. An’ If ye don’t answer when I spakes to ye, I’ll eend ye to j the guard room for disobedience. So I moind, I’ll have ye both w'ays." Distinctly Suspicious. It was when on maneuvers, and a soldier was being tried for the shooting of a chicken on prohibited ground. "Look here, my man," said the com manding officer to the farmer who ! brought the accusation, "are you quite certain this is the man who shot your bird? Will you swear to him?” "No, I won’t do that," replied the canny yokel, “but I will say he’s the man I suspect o’ doio*? *t." “That’s not enough to convict a man!’’ retorted the C. O., considerably nettled. "What raised your suspi cions?” "Well, sir,” replied tTie sturdy farmer, as he slowly mopped hie forehead with his bandanna, "it was this way: I see ’im on my property wlUi a gun; then I heered the gun go off. then I see im putting the chicken into his knapsack, and it didn’t seem nohow to think the bird committed suicide." A FTER a colliery explosion at Uanbradach, Wales, one of the rescue parties made a surpris ing discovery. Perched on a tub In the mine was a robin! Now, most colliers regard the presence of birds, particularly those with white plum age, about pits as a “token," and the “fire" which had occurred was there fore attributed to the intrusion of the perky little stranger! Rats are not uncommon about a pithead, and some of them reach the depths beneath, occasionally with fa tal haste. . One, during the process of falling down a ell a ft, acquired such momen tum by the time It reaphed the bottom that when it struck a collier there was a loud report as of an explosion, and the man was knocked to the ground with great force. In warm mines, too, mice are nu merous. A few reach a new pit in the trusses of hay and bags of corn that are taken down it for the ponies, and these, notwithstanding the strange ness of thetr environment, multiply eo rapidly that cats have to be Installed In the stables. It might be supposed that mous- ers," at any rate, would not take at all kindly to the subterranean world: but they soon become used to their sur roundings. In one mine a fine tabby used to knock off with the men on Saturday but. unlike them, she did not start again on Monday morning. She was always missing till Wednesday or Thursday, when she returned from the old and disused portions of tin mine. Bad For Mice. A strike, however, plays far greater havoo with the mouse population of pit than any number of cats, because the food of the ponies and of the men and boys* is no longer available for the unfortunate little creatures. When, by way of example, the Dur- j ham colliers joined In the general j strike last year many of the pits in that county were overrun with mice; and for some time after work was resumed not one was seen Dogs also are among the animal trespassers in mines. Ry ?«ome means' a terrier entered a disused pit in | Swaledale, and for eight days it roam - j ed about the workings, apparently; without anything to eat. More remarkable was a dog’s in- j trusion into a South Wales pit which has the reputation of being haunted I The animal in question was seen! prowling about the workings’,'and, as) it seemed to vanish when an attempt | was made to catch it. a number of' colliers at once "downed tools” and went home. Some of them then consulted a lo cal wise woman, telling her of the “vision” they had seen earlier In the day, whereupon she predicted a dis aster. As a result more than 200 men refused to go down the following morning, and, though the manager did his utmost to Induce them to resume work, they obstinately determined to remain idle. And, what is more, it was not until three days later that all the men were at work again. There were two curious sequels to this Incident. One. which took place about a week afterward, was the prosecution and conviction of the for tune teller for causing the miners to absent themselves from work. A Gruesome Discovery. The other sequea] happened much more recently, and was the discovery of the skeleton of a dog—doubtless that which had been seen by some of the miners—in the workings. The most singular treupassers In coal mines, perhaps, are workers from neighboring pits. A man or boy lose* his way and, when his lamp goes out, wanders in pitchy darkness through the disused workings, ever listening for the sound of a pick, till he either sinks exhausted or gets in touch with humanity again. A bloodhound was once taken down a pit to find a man who had disap peared, and in several cases lost miners have ultimately worked bach to their starting point. Some years ago, for instance, a boy was lost in a Scotch colliery from Monday morning to Wednesday morning, notwithstand ing he was searched for systemati cally the whole time, and in the end, when almost exhausted, he came upon his father and uncle at the place where he had left them. Sometimes, however, miners be come trespassers—only in a technical sense—through “striking” a road communicating with another pit and following It up. What He Got. Visitor--Digging potatoes, eh?
