He met Alden Hope at social functions and was The latter, however, saw the trend of affairs. He was poor, all his artistic efforts were in their incipiency. He | had painted a picture of which Elida was a model. It was called “Sym- pathy,” and was indeed a tribute to the warm helpful encouragement of He had great hopes of the picture securing recognition at a ( coming public art exhibition. “I rather like Mr. Bellew,” Mrs. Tresham remarked to her daughter one evening. “He is very gentlemanly and con- | siderate,” sald Elida, but she evinced no ardor in the reply.

Then the thoughts of Elida went back to Alden. Why had he not called of late? She made some inquir fes. It was to learn that he was lying {11 with a fever. Elida and her mother visited the | home of the young artist. His mar- ried sister greeted them. Alden was delirious and could see no one. “And what joyful news awaits l}lm!“ spoke the sister. “A letter came to- day telling that his picture of ‘Sym- pathy” has won the Academy prize.” They showed him the letter two days later when his fever had sub- sided.

In another pa- per two days later there was publish- ed an exquisite little poem by the same author. Everybody was enchanted except Al- The increased adulation of Bellew made him feel humble and discouraged. He had loved Elida from the first moment he saw her. Now he | realized how hopeless was that at- tachment. He went no more to the Tresham social functions. With a longing pain at heart he la- ter read a published poem inscribed to Elida by initials. Bellew was lay- ing close siege to the heart of the ed. Art, science, literature—those young heiress Elida missed Alden more than she had fancied could be the case. There was some sentiment naturally harmo- nious between them. Despite her ad miration of the literary abilities of Bellew there seemed always some vague barrier between them Alden Hope never forgot one wet chill evening when he passed in front of the Tresham home, hungry at heart yet torturing himself with the ardent longing to catch a glimpse of the be- loved face of Elida. The house was ablaze with light. A grand reception was on. An English diplomat and literateur, one Norman Eccles, was to be presented by a lo cal society ruler at the Tresham home Shielding his face by drawing down his hat and muffling it in his coat col lar, Alden gazed past the iron gates of the garden. He saw Elida whirling | in the giddy waltze, saw her with Bel- lew, and, like a forlorn waif shut out of paradise, he stole away to his low- ly studio.

The Paris board of health is about to take up the problem of compelling barbers to use sanitary methods. It will have before it the recommenda- tions made by Doctor Fouquet to the Soclete de Prophylaxie. Doctor Fou- quet recommends that lumps of alum be abolished and that calcined alum in powder and applied with cotton bat- ting be substituted as a styptic; that powder puffs be abolished and face powder be applied with wads of cotton which shall be thrown away after once using. He would have all cutting instru- ments—scissors, razors, etc.—washed in a one per cent. solution of carbon- ate of soda, wiped with dry linen and passed through a flame before being ueed. All brushes, combs and shaving brushes should be kept in an airtight closet containing a reservoir of a 40 per cent, golution of formol, €hould be dipped into boiling water before using and washed every evening in ammonia B0ap Doctor Fouquet would forbid barbers to strop razors on the palm of their hands. dividual utensils of all sorts for each customer who has any contagious dis- ease.
