Gullah negroes have a’ custom of their own in the manner of raising church expenses at the Sunday meetings. The plates are not passed around by the elders, but a little box Is placed in front of the pulpit and the members have to march up, one at a time, and drop in the coins. If the collections are slow the minister-will call up.members of the con- gregation and chlde them for not paying.

When for all these many years pseudo descendants - have been arising and trying in vain to- make good thelr claims: they have lack- ed the curving, sensitive lip, perchance, or the great brow, or. the Incisive chin that would have alded thelr cause. And here comes along Horace Davison, a Kes- wick 20-year-old, who Las never paid any more attention to Napoleon than to Ho- mer or Nero or any. other of those old ~ fellows who were all right in their way but of no particular interest to a wide- awake, up-to-date young man of this gen- eration. And all without knowing it ne bears more resemblance ta the famous Bonaparte than ‘does any actor Wiio struggles with false nose, falsé voice and -false hair to play the popular part He is not quite American.

He happened in upon the pnotographer, George Parmenter, one day when the rain was drowning out the whole country round, and he wore-a rain coat of ths most ordinary pattern. The collar was turned up, and as Davison strode {nto the studio and stood talkiog thére with arms folded there occurred to Parmenter a re- semblance. He snatched an old cowboy may indicate the worst thing posstble— the narrow, caved-in chest. Shoulders that droop overmuch must of necessity in- volve this kind of chest. But the slightly loping line Is lovely even to classicness, end by long tradition it is associated with all those traits most distinctly feminine. Perhaps even the anclents recognized something aggressive in the high, thrust- tng shoulder, that forced its way through the world much as a pushing; strong- mindeéd elbow does.

If she dresses a la mode she is not going to wear the Psyche of & half-dozen years back, is she? If she loves to be well groomed she is not going to let her locks loll in the naps of her neck. They are gathered to the crown or top of the head, or possibly lower. They are dressed pretty flat. They are puffed over the ears. They are drawn up trimly at the back and clasped with a long pin made for the purposs.
