THE MATRON'S STORY. I
I She Gets the Advantap;e
i Case.
-A Rare !
I was not a girl when this hap
I pened, I was a young matron with
! several children, but I looked as
young, perhaps, as 25.
I took the trolley at my home
town to go into a larger one for a
day's shopping.
The only vacant seat was by the
side of a dapper young traveling
man. I took it, and he very kind
ly moved his baggage to make me
comfortable. After a time he in
quired about a certain noticeable
sign by the wayside and I explained
it to him. We fell naturally into a
pleasant conversation which we
both enjoyed. I did not think to
tell him I was married I supposed
every man would guess it from my
manners. I felt married 1 sup
posed 1 looked it.
Finally he said, "I often make
G on my trips (G was my
town,) would you mind telling me
what business your people are in?"
I told him and we talked at con
siderable length about the advan
tages and disadvantages of that
particular calling. He mentioned
several young men and a girl
whom I knew and that furnished
us with more material for talk.
We were both feeling quite jolly
when I reached my destination,
the man explaining with evident
regret that he was obliged to go on
in to "the house," as he called his
firm in the city. He suddenly be
came, "smart" and objectionable.
He rose when I did and held out
I his hand. The car had come to a
: dead stop and passengers were be
ginning to alight. The young man
' spoke in a loud confident voice
plainly audible to all passengers,
many of whom I knew, and this is
what he said :
"I have not seen all 1 mean to of
you by no means. I shall certain-
ly follow up this clew. I'll be in
G in about two weeks. Now
don't forget me for I'm coming to
see you, without fail.
1 "Do," I said as cordially as 1
could in face ot my mortification,
j "I think my husband will give you
an order."
JOY EVERYWHERE.
Compulsion is not, indeed, the
final appeal to man, but joy is. And
joy is everywhere; it is in the
earth's green covering of grass;
! in the blue serenity of the sky; in
reckless exuberance of spring, in
the severe abstinence of gray win
ter; in the living flesh that animates
our bodily frame; in the perfect
poise of the human figure, noble
and upright; in living in the exer
cise of all our powers; in the ac
quisition of knowledge; in the fight'
ing of evils; in dying for gains we
never can share. Joy is every
where; it is superfluous, unneces
sary: nay, it very often contradicts
the most peremptory behests of
necessity. It exists to show that
the bonds of law can only be ex
plained by love; they are like body
and soul. Joy is the realization
of the truth of oneness, the one-
ness of our soul with the world
and of the world-soul with the su
preme lover.

Psyche Knot in a
T way of departing from the close
1 to-the-head halrdress some of our
modern goddesses have dared to com
bine the old classic Psyche knot with
strictly twentieth century arrange
ment of the front hair. An example
is pictured here, and the effect is
rather pretty. It is better from the
front than from the aides, because in
the modern hair dress the brow la
more or less covered. The line is not
so good, therefore, as in the clasBic
model.
The Greeks covered the ears tor
moat of them), but did not bring the
hair out over the cheek as in the pres
ent mode. A prominent actress, who
gives much thought to dress, is respon
sible for this mixture ot styles. Many
centuries apart, the ideas are not too
Incongruous, and the resulting coiffure
has found a number ot devotees.
The arrangement Is simple enough.
The front hair is trimmed in a light
fringe acroBa the forehead, and slop
ing upward over the temples. The
Bide hair Is parted off and rolled into
B soft twist. It is laid in a coil In
front of the ear and pinned to place
with short wire pins. The end Is twist-
ad and brought to the knot, under
THE OLD ARM CHAIR.
1 love it, I love it and who shall dare
To chide me for loving that old arm-chair?
I've treasured it long as a sainted prize;
I've bedew'd it with tears, and embalm'd it with sighs,
'Tis bound by a thousand bands to my heart;
Not a tie will break, not a link will start,
Would ye learn ihe spell? a mother sat there;
And a sacred thing is thai old arm-chair.
In childhood's hour I lingered near,
The hallow'd seat with listening ear;
And gentle words that mother would give
To fit me lo die, and teach me to live.
She (old me shame would never betide,
With truth for my creed and God for my guide;
She taught me 10 lisp my earliest prayer,
As I knelt beside that old arm-chair.
I sal and watch'd her many a day,
When her eye, grew dim, and her locks were gray;
I almost worshipp'd her when siie smiicJ,
And turn'd from her Bible, to bless her child.
Years roll'd on; but the last one sped
My idols were shatter'd; my earth-star fled:
I learnt how much the heart can bear,
When I saw' her die in that old arm-chair.
'Tis past, 'tis past, but I gaze on it now,
With quivering breath and throbbing brow;
'Twas there she nursed me; 'twas there she died;
And memory flows with lava tide.
Say it is folly, and deem me weak,
While the scalding drops start down my cheek;
But I love it, I love it, and cannot tear
My soul from my mother's old arm-chair.

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORI A
Modern Coiffure
i
which it is concealed.
All the back hair ii combed back
and tied at the back below the crown.
It Is pulled out to lie loosely at the
top of the head and nape of the neck.
The hair is then rolled loosely, colled
In a small coll and pinned with a
few wire pins. The center of the coll
Is pulled out Into the projecting knot,
as shown in the picture, and addi
tional pins placed to hold it firmly.
The new coiffures are still In the ex
perimental stage. The high halrdress
and the colonial styles are bidding for
popular favor. We know that changes
are coming because new mtlltcery
makes them necessary. We may be
fairly certain that high styles will be
worn, and perfectly certain that coif
fures are not to he as plain as they
have been. But no one mode has
seized the popular fancy as yet. There
fore actresses and others are free to
experiment and mix up the styles of
Egypt with those of the Moqul Indians
If they wish, at their own sweet will.
No centuries or peoples are too remote
to be without the pale of our Interest
when It comes to getting Ideas for new
styles.
