The sleeves are cufy to fit rather closely at the wrists with small buttons and loops covered with the material. The scarf pieces are 10 inches wide and about 32 inches long each, with edges finished with a narrow hand hem. The free ends of the scarf are cut on the bias with the longer points at the back. The other ends of the scarfs are attached to the dress to give the effect of a collar. At the back the ends lap over so that the right-hand scarf lies over the left-hand scarf 2 or 3 inches.

In September, 1910, Reed dreamed that while walking down a street in Conéepcion he came to the end and there saw & tomb on which was the fol- lowing inscription: “Reed, Naturalist, November 7, 1910.” He did not take the dream seriously. Indeed, he related it jokingly to se: friends. But two months later, November 7, he died suddenly. There was & curious accompanying circumstance. His daughter-in-iaw, living at Mendoza, dreamed, just before she was to celebrate her wedding anni- versary, that all the presents reaching her on that day were funeral wreaths. Jer wedding anniversary came on November 7. The story of Prince Radziwill's niece is highly = dramatic. The Countess Agnes had been adopted by him after the aeath of both her parents. She was then a mere child, being only 6 or 6 years old. 4 The apartments of the prince in his Galician castle were separated from those of the children by a very large yoom or hall. If the children wished 0 g0 to him it was necessary to pass through this room, unless the eourt was used. This rather necessitated goung cut of doors, which might be dis- eeable in cold, wintry weather, in n or in Snow. Rather than go through the room, however, little Agnes invariably used the court. On the first occasion on which she had been taken through the room she had noticed above the door @n enormous canvas representing the Cumaean Sibyl.. This picture, whicl childish eyes saw vaguely in the gloom of the illy-lighted chamber, filled her with terror. Never again could she be persuaded to encounter it. Pleading, * grgument and punishment did not avail. An unreasoning fear, which no one could understand, possessed her. It was “as 1if she perceived that the picture thrcatened her with some future dis- aster. The prince decided it would be Wron' to attempt to coerce her. 8o, for the next 12 years, she used the court- yard as here invariable passageway. She was now a young woman.

Perhaps you will be kind enough to help a man in trouble. “I am middle-aged and have been paying attention to a middle-aged lady for a long time. We are engaged but have never married because her mother is an invalid and she had to take of her. Her mother is still living. “I al s felt that she is not the girl for me; in fact, I have very little love for her, but she says that she loves me very dearly. “In the meantime, her sister has come home and we are deeply in love and hope to get married some time. They both live in the same house and Iam at a loss what to do or how to proceed. I cannot marry the first girl because I realize that I never would be happy, but I am greatly disturbed.

Down in Virginia a week ago much ado was made of a marriage contract drawn up by a couple, in which the bride renounced all rigl the event that they pfoved to be ill- mated.

Mother Brownl pretended to be dis- appointed that Jim Crow had returned. She pretended that she wished thll.l having gone away with the other Crows, he had stayed away. But if the truth were known, right down inside she was glad to see him back. She had missed him. He was a mischievous scamp: nevertheless, he was an interesting one. “There's one thing about to Farmer Brown's Boy, “and that is that on washday he must be shut up. If you want to keep that Crow, you've got to promise to see that he is shut up early Monday morning and isn't allowed out again until the washing has been taken in. I certainly will not stand for having the- clothespins pulled and the washing dropped on the ground again.” For several days-after his return Jim Crow was on his very best behavior. Yes, sir, he was so. He didn't get in any mischief at all. He followed Farmer Brown's Boy everywhere. He was so glad to be back thit he had to talk about it all the time. As he rode around on the should®r of Farmer Brown’s Boy, he talked Crow-talk con- tinually and Farmer Brown's Boy was certain that it was all about how glad he was to be home again. “White grubs are pretty bad this vear,” said Farmer Brown's Boy, “and the worst of it is, there isn't much we can do about it. There is the fourth one I have hoed out in the last 10 minutes.” He was just about to crush it with his hoe when Jim Crow hopped down from the shoulder of Farmer Brown's Boy and snatched up that white .

And every time that Farmer Brown dug out a white grub, Jim Crow was right on hand to snap it up, Then he fol- lowed Farmer Brown’s Boy for a while. The surprising thing was that he dis- covered many white grubs that neither Farmer Brown, nor Farmer Brown's Boy, saw until he pulled them out. All this Farmer wn watched with considerable interest. Finally he spoke. “That Crow may be a nuisance at times,” said he, “but he certainly has redeemed himself this morning. I've been watching him.
