"She told me one day that sh«* looked back with regret to the time when the purchase of a spring suit I was merely a matter of saving and skimping, and when she could buy, wear and be merry without a thought of the scruples of to-morrow. Hut now Belinda has to pay for being a! conscientious, progressive and new movement working woman with all soits of moral questionings. So the; purchase of her spring suit is an or deal beset with many dangers. "First, as a self-respecting girl she must not squander too much on her Clothes, and the dress she wants is always a little beyond her limit. Next, she is committed to the purchase of only such garments as have a safe hygienic origin, and often the most becoming of the suits spread before her do not answer these require ments. “Of course, Belinda belongs to an art class, and she Ls hound to see that her garments reveal ‘good lines 1 and are not Inharmonious, either in j form or color.

For my part I declare myself a be liever in the good effects of the om nivorousness of man. If he had re mained in his original trees, feeding on fruits and nuts, he would never have developed his brain until it put him at the head of the animal crea tion. When he got down and learned to throw he took the first step in a wonderful advance, and he took a second in the same direction when he began to eat the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, meat. In do ing that he did what every successful creature has always done—he took advantage of the work of others. Meat is ready-made food. It presents the “physical basis of life." proto plasm, or protein, in the most quick ly and surely assimilable form. How ever we may sentimentally shrink from animal food on account of the way in which we obtain it, w'e must acknowledge, I believe, that no ex clusively vegetarian race could have accomplished what man has done on the earth. But the whole story is not yet told. When man became a carnivorous ani mal he did not cease to be frugivor- ous. On the contrary he used his growing intelligence to develop still further his ability to derive body- power and brain-power from vege table food. One of the most striking statements made by Dr. Hutchinson is. in substance, that meat eating stimulates both the appetite and the "Yes, Belinda h-as to ‘feel right’ in her clothes or else they might as well hang on their pegs forever. And even when they are hanging on their pegs—she always devotee two pegs to I each garment—she likes to be con scious of a friendly, intimate feeling j toward them, to believe, when she' looks at them, that she is gazing at a j part of herself "This looks as if Belinda was a | very fussy person, which she is not, [ being only very conscientious.

"Far be it from me." went on the chatty woman, "to quarrel with Be linda for being conscientious. I only wish that more of my friends were like her. Still there are compensa tions when people express themselves freely in their clothes, particularly in their hats.

She may hide herself from your mental analysis, she may irfek you by a hundred intellectual and spiritual disguises, but when she chooses her hat her hidden nature reveals itself, and she stands before you with all her qualities ^confessed. A Constant Surprise. “VVhat a constant surprise these millinery revelations are! There is Emily, whom I thought the soul of sobriety and demureness: yet had she really possessed these qualities, would she have chosen for her spring hat a purple bowl decorated with yellow green feathers?

Then suddenly bending over the almost swooning youth who crouched at her feet, she exclaimed: “1 will put you to the test! ’’ “Ah!” The youth sprang to his feet, exultant, triumphant, and cried aloud to the maiden at his side: "Your test? Yo\jr test?” “ ’Tis to marry some other girl,” murmured the sweet young thing, as she glided backward through the vel vet curtains into the ball room. By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. HELP TO KEEP HIM GOOD.

W HEN the earliest ancestors, of man got down out of their trees and began to walk about the earth with upright spines and flattened feet, one of the first arts that they acquired was that of throwing stones. A monkey can hurl a cocoanut from a tree, but he cannot hit anything. A 1 hub that is half leg and half arm cannot be effectively employed for throwing Accurate throwing is one of the minor fine arts, and it could only be invented by a creature stand- lag on end, surely and yet delicately balanced upon a pair of agile legs, and provided with two arms amaz- ■ ingly cunning and perfect in their mechanism. If you will watch a.base ball pitcher you will see that he needs BOTH his arms and BOTH his legs. As soon as the original ape-man, having descended permanently to the ground, found that h e could be a marksman, he began to kill birds and small animals with stones. While he Inhabited his trees be had been a "frugivorous” animal—that ls, a fruit eater like most of the apes and monkeys to-day. But when he got among the "carnivorous,” or flesh-eating, animals of the w'orld be low the branches, he quickly learned to live, like them, by devouring the animals that he killed, and. because he was the only one that could throw —first stones, and then sharpened sticks, or javelins—he excelled all the others in the art of taking life. Thus man. starting as a vegeta rian, while he lived in tree tops, i became a hunter and a meat-eater after he ^descended to the ground and began to walk upright. But he did not abandon his fruit-eating, and so he became an “omnivorous” animal, that is, an eater of both ani mal and vegetable food. I am not sure but that he may have been the first typical animal of this class, for while some of the lower animals can be taught, or driven, to eat both kinds of food, yet as a whole, they confine themselves to one or the other. T am led to draw this ideal pic ture of early man by a perusal of a most interesting article, in the May Good Housekeeping Maga zine. by Dr. Woods Hutchin son. in which he puts, in attractive form, some, of the latest conclusions of medical and hygienic science con cerning the perpetually important j question of what we ought to eat. In that article Dr. Hutchinson i seems to explode maw of the modern J fads about eating. It is best to let him speak for himself on that sub ject. and so I shall rot repeat what he says, only remarking that some , of his statements will probably sur- 1 prise many <»f his readers, and open the eyes of all.

I —1 HOMESICK I BY HELEN WASHER. A LL day the wind has whispered tales about the old home range. And I, a lonely maverick, am crying for a change. Shall we pull up our picket pins, and coil the cantle rope. Then nit the trail and follow it adown the western slope? This city life may be all right for those whose eyes are blind. Or those who never see beyond the daily, dulling grind. Rut herding round a snubbing post from eight till half past five. Has never kept the outdoor heart of vagabonds alive. Here every man is for himself, the devil for them all; And few have pity for the weak who by the wayside fall. They’re branded with the city’s iron, in body, heart and soul; On every hand I see them strive, with money for their goal. But outward where the sun goes down is room for you and me. And there the men are what their God intended they should be. This old corral is far tog small for my six feet of brawn, So I shall take frhe Western trail before another dawn. And all I ask of future years is that my feet may stray Along somo sun-kissed range until the final roundup day. Will Man Ever Cease To Be a Meat Eater? digestive power for vegetable foods. Now, in view' of that statement, look at what early man did. As he acquired more perfect control over his arms, which originally had served him merely for climbing, he learned to cultivate the soil. He invented cereals. He cultivated fruits, and practically created our modern fruit trees. Away back in the Neolithic Age he grew barley and wheat, and raised peas, lentils, beans, strawber ries, raspberries and blackberries. Remains of all these have been found among the ancient Swiss lake-dwell ings. But he never abandoned his newfly acquired habit of meat-eating. Some unconscious instinct may have informed him thkt to do so would be to throw away a large part of the advantage which he had derived from his descent out of the trees. He bad come down into the world to be its master, and the inhabitants of that world, less cunning and less complete ly equipped than he was had to yield everything to his necessities, even their lives. This seems a hard rule—but is it not what we find everywhere in na ture? Cain w T as a tiller of the soil and Abel a keeper of sheep. When Cain brought his offering of the ‘Ifruits of the ground” and Abel his Offerings of “the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof,” the Lord “had respect unto Abel and to his offerings, but unto Cain and his offering He had not respect.” :. Cleek of the Forty Faces By T. W. HANSHAW. Copyright by Doubleday, Page & Co. TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT. At any time the interior of that huge, stone-walled, steel-lined tube must have been unlovely and depress ing to all but the man who labored in it; but to-night, with that man sit ting dead In It, with his face to the open window, a lamp beside him and stiff hands resting on the pages of a book that lay open on the desk’s fiat top, it was doubly so; for. added to its other unpleasant qualities, there was now a disagreeable odor and a curious, eye-smarting, throat-rough ening heaviness in the atmosphere which w'as like to nothing so much as the fumes thrown off by burnt chem icals. Cleek gave one or two sniffs at the air as he entered, glanced at Mr. Norkom, then walked straightway to the desk and looked into the dead man’s face. Under the marks of the scratches and cut# upon it—marks w'hich would seem to carry out the idea of an animal’s attack—the fea tures were distorted and discolored and the hair of beard and mustache was curiously crinkled and discolored Cleek stopped dead short, as he saw that fare, and his swaggering, flip pant, cocksure air of a minute before dropped from him like a discarded mantle. Man Had Been Shot. “Hullo! This doesn’t look quite so promising for the animal theory as it did!” he flung out sharply. “This man has been shot—shot with a shell filled with his own soundless and an nihilating devil’s invention, lithamite —and bomb-throwing is a trick of beasts of a lower order than the ani mal tribe! Look here, Mr. Narkom —see! The. lock of the desk has been broken. Srfut the door there, Nip pers. Let nobody leav# the room. There has been murder and robbery here; and the thing that climbed that tree was not an animal nor yet a bird. It was a cutthroat and a thief!” Naturally enough, this statement pro duced something in the nature of a panic—Miss Renfrew indeed appearing to be on the verge of fainting, and It is not at all unlikely that she would have s ipped to the floor but for the close proximity of Mrs. Armroyd. "That's right, madame. Get a chair. Put her into It. She will need all her strength presently. I promise you. Wait a bit. Better have a doctor, 1 fancy, and an Inquiry into the whereabouts of Mr. Charles Drummond. Mr. Narkom, cut out will you, and wire this message to that young man’s employer.” Pens and paper were on the dead man's desk. He bent over, scratched off some hurried lines and passed them to the superintendent. "Sharp’s the word, please: we’ve got ugly business on hand and we must know about that Drum mond chap without delay. Miss Ren frew lias not been telling the truth to-night. Look at this man. Rigor mor tis pronounced. Feel him—muscles like lion, flesh like ice! She says that he spoke to her at a quarter to eight. I tell you that at a quarter to eight this man had been dead upward of an hour!” “Good Ood!” exclaimed Mr. Narkom; hut his cry was cut Into by a wilder one from Miss Rrenfrew. Ran Out of the Grounds. “Oh, no!” she protested, starting up from her seat only to drop back into It, Btrengthless, shaking, ghastly pale. "It could not be—it could not be. I have told the truth—nothing but the truth. He did speak to me at a quarter to eight-—he did. he did! Constable Gor ham was there—ho heard him; he will tell you the same.” "Yes, yes, I know you said so, but— will he? He looks a sturdy, straight going honest sort of chap who couldn’t be coaxed or bribed Into backing up a lie; so—send him in a# you go out, Mr. Narkom; we’ll see what he has to say.” What he had to say when he came in a few moments later was what Miss Renfrew had declared—an exact corrob oration of her statement. He had seen a man whom he fancied was Sir Ralph Droger run out of the grounds and he had suggested to Miss Renfrew that they had better look into the Round House and see if all was right with Mr. Nosworth. They had looked in as she had said; and Mr. Nosworth had ealled out and asked her what the devil she was coming Iri and disturbing him for, and It was a quarter to eight ex actly. k “Sure about that are you?” questioned "Yes. sir; sure as I’m telling you this minute." "How do you fix the exact time?” "As we come out of the covered passage Miss Renfrew looked at her wrist watch and says, impatient like, 'There, I've lost another two minutes and am that much later for nothin’, fire! it's a quarter to eight. Good night.’ Then she cuts off over the grounds and leaves me.” "La! la!" exclaimed Mrs Armroyd ap provingly. “There’s the brave heart, to come to mademoiselle's rescue so great ly.

But Cleek appeared to be less «asy, to convince that she had hoped, for he* pursued the subject still; questioning Gorham to needless length It seemed; trying his best to trip him up, to shake his statement, but always failing, and indeed, going over the same ground to such length that one might have bought he was endeavoring to gain time. If he was, he certainly succeeded; for it was quite fifteen minutes later when Mr. Narkom returned to the Round House arid he was at it still; and indeed only concluded to give it up as a bad job when the superintendent came. “Get It off all right, did you. Mr. Nar kom?" he asked, glancing around as he heard him enter. "Quite all right, old chap. Right as rain—In every particular.” To Be Continued To-morrow. “Where have you been.
