Fascinating: and Artistic Fittings are Ifow In Vo'uc. So fascinating and artistic are the desk fittings of 1005 that they would distract the attention of the most Spartan scribe from her work. The wealth of the jew eler's art is lavished on these small trai- pings, some desk sets costing well up in the thousands. Hammered brass has long been a prime favorite for escritoire equip ment, but the beauty of its new designs defy description, brass foundations being often elaborated with bronze and copper trimmings, in the most grotesque and stunning patterns, while the ingenuity of the leather worker has produced wonder fully novel conveniences, of charming decoration to meet the needs of the busy woman. None of these, however, appeal to the fancy of Miladi Dainty as do the enam eled mosaic effects, so exquisitely delicate in tiny flower designs. One fetching set for a boudoir desk has the prevailing color, a pleasing scarlet enamel, which forms wee blossoms like forget-me-nots, against a dull gold ground. The four corners for the blotting tables arc trian gles of floral clusters. The little lamp is a globe of dull gold with garlands of the red blossoms, and the long inkstand shows two ink pots on cither side of a stamp box, the covers of all three pieces and the pen troughs being decorated with the same garlands. Another set has sapphire blue for the dominant color, and the ef fect of the enamel is identical with that of the genuine Persian stone mosaics, and is expressively dainty. A famous designer has recently exe cuted a desk set of wondrous beauty for the wife of a multi-millionaire of inter national reputation . because of the ele gance of his palatial home. The candle sticks, inkstand and letter case were a combination of pinkish ivory and dull gold filigree. Two-inch squares of delicately-tinted ivory were held in place by heavy gold filigree, showing extremely gniccf ul forms of men and women, alter nating with a vine filigree. This was studded with wee diamonds . and rubies and an occasional emerald and sapphire. The red of the rubies seemed to bring out a pinkish tinge in the dull gold, and the gems were interspersed with rare judgment. One of the most popular designs for hammered brass shows the heads and forms of languishing maidens with long, flowing hair. A pen tray, headed bya reclining girl's figure, resolves itself gradually into a plain brass tray, the clinging draperies of the loose robe fad ing away near the feet. An odd paper clip has a small brass tennis racquet for its top clasp. . The dilliculty of finding much-used tel ephone numbers quickly, is entirely over come by a leather book, which stands on the desk like a calendar. Nine rows of leather flaps compose the outside cover. Every flap has three ascending squares of leather, each holding a letter .of the al phabet. This indexes the names, and a number can be found readily with only one hand. Sealing-wax sets contain five or six sticks of wax in different colors with a long silver holder having a place don't wish to take any risk with others." "Surely you wouldn't mind running over somebody now and then if you could by doing so cut down a record?" "Most decidedly I would. When I go out in my machine I always remember that there are other people to consider." "But you wouldn't slow down to let a frightened horse get past, would you?" "I always do whenever I meet one." "Still, you run over dogs whenever you can, I suppose?" "No, sir. I have never killed or crip pled anything with my buzz buggy yet, and I hope I never may." "By George, you're a marvel, all right. I'll bet you forget when there's no police man in sight, about the ordinance gov erning speed." "Never. I consider it my duty to obey the law as scrupulously when I am not being watched as I do when I know I am under scrutiny.

A Handsome Book of Uaataal Interest. One does not need to read very far in "Dialstone Lane," by W. W. Jacobs (Charles Scribncr's Sons,) before he discovers that he has made the ac quaintance of a new and a very agreeable type of humorist. There is something about the book which is faintly reminis cent of Dickens ; perhaps it is the quaint ness of the characters portrayed ; possibly it is the illustrations, which are peculiarly appropriate and really funny ; but there is nothing which suggests an attempt to imitate Dickens. The humor is spontaneous and never strained. The people are our flesh and blood acquaintances of every old village near the sea shore, and though the scene is laid in England, the characters are types whose protoypes may be found in America as well. The plot, such as it is, is somewhat fanciful, but it serves its purpose well. In fact the development of the story is of little importance except as it serves as a vehicle for the convey ance of the quaint and whimsical charac ters at whom we continually smile. And we are thankful that this same continous smile seldom develops into the laugh, which indicate caricature rather than really humorous drawing. Mr. Jacobs deserves congratulation for a most welcome contribution to the gen eral happiness of the public. "The lait Hope." "The Last Hope" by Henry Seaton Merriman, (Charles Scribner's Sons,) is another of the many stories which have been woven around the alleged escape of the Dauphin at the time of the French Revolution. The hero of this tale, how ever, is a supposed son of the Dauphin who was born of the union of the son of Louis XVI with the daughter of a fisher man of the village in England to which he had escaped. Though it is distinctly a novel of ac tion, a modern romance, yet it seems to mark a distinct advance in the author's capacity for character delineation. The character of Loo Bourbon is well drawn, and the influence which the new blood of the strong, vigorous fisherman had upon the decadent Bourbon race, is well brought out. It is unfortunate that the author should have died just as his work was giving promise of the highest ex cellence. One could wish for a happier ending for the story, yet any other would have been weak and unsatisfactory. This ful fills exactly the demands of the law of dramatic possibilities. It is a strong story, and interesting from the beginning to the end. A Tjpe. As Nature's perfect day Is blessed, Start thou life's way In eager quest Of what within thyself is best. And as thy morn to eve is brought, With such sweet grace as thou hast sought, The fabric of thy soul Is wrought. Thy feet are sure; no conflict mars, No cloud obscures, nor lightning bars The way unto thy goal, the stars. Miriam Ormonde Smallwood in jV. Y. Sun.
