SALLY OF THE SEA gy CATHERINE COPE. n Bellew had always hated the Never had he crossed the ocean he hoped he never would. Some- be had a premonition that the peld some vast secret; whether edy or comedy, he knew not, but eared to test its power. tow, however, the stress of Puei- s forced him @éither to také a ck trip or lose a great contract. bellew cursed his race and made ried preparation for the voyage. here was nothing worse in his es. ation than to be literally thrown o an appallingly close proximity a thousand strange people and to e to eat, sleep and spend every r of the day with those same peo- Joh owever, all his fears were in a v minimized when the great ship led smoothly out and past Sandy | fok. A cursory glance over the o ople on deck told him that they re a harmless enough looking owd and not lacking in a variety attractive girls. = \uch to his amazement he realized lat the soft motion of the boat, the ish of water and the rhythmic chug the engines gave him a sense of <t such as the oise of the city had | ver offered him. He went below and sought a typist. bo sea-going stenographers were for e moment all engaged, and Bellew s obliged to wait until one was free take his letters. When finally a btton broker came out of the office arest Bellew he stepped in and A zed blankly at the girl sitting at r typewriter. “Humph!” he muttered. “I see | pw why so much business is done | n shipboard. Gee whiz—what a eauty!” “Did you say anything?” Sally Jarker looked straight into Bellew’s jyes. “] want to dictate some letters,” he | pid more or less gruffly. “Are you mnot feeling ~ell?” Snlly! ked with a peculiarly irritating | weetness. “I am so sorry for people ho can’t stand the sea. Perhaps if our letters could wait you will feel etter tomorrow—one day makes ch a difference.” “l will write them now,” Bellew aid, and Sally put paper in her ma- hine without another word. The dictating went on smoothly nough, and when the letter was fin- shed and another one started, Bel- ew found himself smiling inwardly. fter all, bondage to a girl like Sally ag going to prove rather interesting. When Liverpool was reached she eemed to disappear with maddening witness from the wharf. Bellew "‘It delays the trip when lifeboats ' | the Zeppelin: cursed his fate, and from the he stepped from the gnngpll:::e:; lived only for the moment when he would again step on it.

Shave Spoiled His Passport. One of the most unusual passport cases which has yet come to the at- tention of the American embassy at, London arose when a well-dressed American called to obtain a passport which had been sent to Washington | some weeks ago to be renewed, but during the interim the owner of the passport had b<en denuded of his whiskers, which set of whiskers was still a hed to his person when le | sent his photographs to Washington, and he was described in the passport as bewhiskered. Asked why he shaved off the whisk- | ers, he sheepishly stated that he had his whiskers shaved once a year and forgot all about the passport regula tions. Speed of Zeppelins. Zeppelins vary in speed, but the swiftest of them are not comparable in speed to the aeroplanes. The latter, it is safe to say, are twice as fast as S, Clas 0 DRESSMAKING by Mrs. J. B.
