"Well?*’ she interrogated coolly, as Barker continued to hold her hand In

troubled silence.

She had beautiful. Impenetrable eyes and a'disdainful smile. Something In the amili- gave Barker his cue. “You are not happy." he hazarded, with sudden attack. "In fact, you are quite dissatisfied at present The actions of some other person are respon-

It must b* remembered that In America we have no distinction between the barrister and the solicitor, aud that consequently a woman called to the bar may practise her profession without ever appearing in court.

"Jove! Did you ever before see such an assorted lot of humanity T Here is your chance. Barker, to study the genus homo." Pierce had straightened up from fais lounging attitude and was gazing with growing curiosity upon the motley crowd of excursionists streaming past the hotel. Barker, following his example, exhibited an Interest combining both curiosity and compassion. "Poor souls!" he muttered. " Tis a red letter day in their humdrum existence. Pitiful. Isn't It. and amazing too, how little suffices—" "Hold mm. Barker, there’s plenty of time afterwards for moralizing. Well use our eyes now and our reflective faculties later." From their position on tbe hotel Steps both young men had an excellent view of the panorama below knd beyond—Lake Michigan, flashing blue green In the sun; the beach, clean and white by contrast, dotted with amusement booths and pavilions, and the dock where the big steamer. Just landed. continued to unload Itself of pleasure seekers. As the latter climbed the sleep ascent to the town and proceeded to scatter through the streets to their various diversions, they encountered the interested gaze of those reeorters i residents, who Invariably found pli ure in the arrival of excursion boats and trains. An exclamation from Pierce startled Barker in the midst of observe

ttona.

"I say. look at the crowd around the professor's tent! He'll do a rushing business today]" Barker looked and saw that palmist's quarters, near by. wer» already taken possession of by waiting groups, eager to have their hands read. A close scrutiny showed disappointment plainly written on the facts of the waiting ones. Some were turning away, while others held wondering consultations. "Perbape the professor Isn't In," sbj?e*ted Barker. Sudden remembrance flashed upon Pierce. "By George. I should say not! That picnic party hasn't returned yet. has it? Well. then, good-by to the professor's trade for this afternoon. 'Pile folks would Insist on taking him— promised to bring him back in time— and behold the result!" "Wonder what happened to delay them so long?” "Anything can happen to a party bound for Higman Park. The question la, What Is to be done? It's too bed tha poor chap must miss all these quarters and half dollars. Wish we could help him oat—" Pierce paused, brightened In a twinkling and slapped his friend heartily on the hack. “I have it!” be finished. Jubilantly. "Now's your chance to revive your past knowledge of palm reading—did I not tell you It would tome day serve Its purpose?” The suggestion was rich in poasK>UlUes for fun and diversion. "And your' queried Barker. "IT" What were my strntorlan lungs given me for?

teil-iale blush. But this maiden was aggravating!)- serene. Grappling with his oozing courage, be made an-

other reckless plunge.

"Some one Is trying to coerce you Into a—into an affair—a love affair, let us say. Your father or mother— perhaps both parents—have set thelt hearts upon your marriage witn—ah —er—with a young man whom they favor on account of old family ties." Barker paused, greening inwardly. “I'm up against It this time, sure, giving her that old-time, wornout spleL But there’s no help for It

now. so here goes."

Truly. It eras s hackneyed theme but as be continued to elaborate upon it the story did not sound so stale, after all. Such things, he reflected, were happening every day In real life. Did he not himself figure ill Just such an experience? Had not bis patents chosen for him a young woman whom he had never even seen—one. Indeed whom he never wished to see? Tbe recurrence of this fact to his mind stimulated him afresh. Unconsciously bis sympathies, stirred thus by A realization of his own trials along •me line, kindled Into Increasing

■This way. ladles and gentlemen. This way for the wonderful, great only hand reeding of the world-famed Professor Franklin! Corns In—come tn! Don't miss the marvelous opportunlty—Lis the chance of a lifetime. This way. this way!” • Thus cried Pierce, Stationed outside U»* teat, while Barker, within. p».h-

Not until the reading was ^finished did the Inscrutable look leave her face. Then, to Barker's amusement—Indeed, his undoing—she flashed upon him sudden bewildering smile as she said impulsively.— 'It is wonderfiB! Do you mean to say that you actiMly saw all that In my hand? Why. It's the exact truth, professor—every word!” Barker, murmuring incoherently, accompanied her to the door, where the sight of Professor Franklin, hastening toward the tent, caused him to bid the young woman a precipitate good day. Franklin the explanations In good-natured gratitude, thanking both young men for their friendly spirit In the affair. Pierce was hilarious over the experience. but Barker scarcely fffeard hit Jovial remarks and Jests. He was thinking of a certain pair of eyes. Later, as he strolled down the street for cigars, he found himself looking, shout In the hope of again encountering those eyes. Tbe sound of a hearty, familiar voice accosting him broke upon his reverie "Hello, my boy! Never thought run serose you up her*! Bless me, I'm glad to see you!" It was the father of the girl whom Barker's parents desired as a daugb-ter-tn-law. "Aad Grace Is here!" chuckled the old man. "Blamed if this Isn't the greatest luck. We're both stopping with friends In town for s day or two. Come! You must take dinner with us.” Barker submitted resignedly. As be accompanied the old man up the steps lo the house a slender figure In blue came out from the shade of the vinehung veranda. "Ah. there Is Grace now!” Barker looked up indifferently and then, pausing, even where he was. stood stunned and speechless, gsxlng his rapturous greeting Into « pair of beautiful.

Struggle for Novelty. Winter bridee in London are seeking to oatvte each other by the introduction of novelties In weddings. At a May Fair wedding recently the bride. Miss Ounthrone. a kinswoman of Lord Arundetl. had seven att of these wore costumes of varying shades of the tame color. The first bridesmaid wore the pastel pink, with a long Empire coat to match. The succeeding three pairs of bridesmaids wore the same costumes. but In graduating!) deeper shades, the last couple's being deep Venetian red. Another novelty at the ling was a choir of girls supplementing a service. At another wedding all of the bridesmaids wore hats adorned with kreaths of natural flowers, and carried bouquets matching the flowers in the hate At another wedding the bridesmaid* were preceded by a dozen children bolding up aprons filled with loose rosebuds One bridesmaid at every wedding this winter wore green stockings for luck. * Fads anil Frills. It Is the fads and frills of fashion that give the smart girl her charming personality. She accepts. It Is true, a certain style of drees for each season, but It Is with that fascinating toss of her head which says, "I will have my own way. after all." She accepts, but not abjectly, not mechanically; oh. no. indeed. The ruling style will do very well for a foundation, but upon this she trailds until tbe tonventlonal costume becomes peculiarly her own. Now. the smart girl has lots Iff little ways of her own—hosts of them. In fact They are her fads. When to the way she does things we add the way she wears things, we then hare the fads and fashions which make her at once so inimitable and bewitching. She has an odd little way of carrying her new. big shopping-bag—she tucks It under her arm like a book. Instead of carrying it In tbe usuhl way by the handle. She holds it. too. just so' the brass or enamel seal which bears her monogram shows to advantage The conspicuous silver or brass Initials are no longer the smart thing to decorate tbs fashionable shopping-bag. The round seal, whether of brass. Silver or enamel. Is the correct thing, with the monogram, rather than ooe's single Initial letter, engraved or applied upon IL—Woman's Home Companion.

Ideals

Tbe power otma ideal la the theme of an Inspiring paper by Ultle Hamilton French in the Delineator. Ideate are much misused. How often la a standard sat up and called an M«ei. which Is not an ideal at all—merely a pose that one affects. An eat this subject Miss French says some things that many persons might take to heart: "Ever so many people have poses. I know women who pose as being extremely unselfish, and what uncomfortable women they are! How Utile happiness they get out of it all. and how Utile they give! No Ideal governs them, else they would have so grown In grace and loveliness of character that an unconsciousness of self would have been attained, but. best of all, unconsciousness of their virtues. For a virtue, even one like that of unselfishness, Is only really and altogether a vlrtne when It can be exercised unconsciously and without effort or display. The Ideal of unselfishness, therefore. Is. not with those who grumble sad thdo give up the thing they want, nor with those who think that they are always ‘so tired.' nor again with thaw who declare, even while doing a kind predated.' The Ideal te not wftk'thmn ataU. Thsff

The College Girt. In a recent number of The Outlook • "European university girl" makes an Interesting comparison between the American college girt and her European counterpart, which is not wholly to the disadvantage of the former. According to this critic, the American woman's college te a thing wholly amazing in European eyes. No European educational Institution would think of allowing to Its Inmates such a luxuriousness of surroundings as appears In the American'girls' college room, the extreme simplicity of the food being the only thing common to both types of educational commun-

ity.

lb the uninitiated beholder the American college- girl's . room, with flags and posters and sporting souvenirs and class symbols, with men's pictures on desks and dressing tables, might be a college boy's. On the other side of the ocean young women are supposed not to keep young men's .portraits in their rooms. Just as they are ~ not supposed to meet cm equal terqis of comradeship tbe subjects of the aforesaid pictures. The absence of books In tbe room and the conspicuous presence of candy boxes and fruit baskets might also strike tlte European observer as peculiar. All this corresponds with a radical difference in the lift of women students In America and In Europe. The European girl goes to her university purely for learning, and In the lower educational Institutions It te the same. Study Is the business of life, and only those fortunate ones who have friends and relatives to take them out occasionally and give them a good time ever get any fun. The chief characteristic of the American woman's college Is well defined, the critic proceeds, by the historical words, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." To the cbllegs girl's happiness many elements are co-operating, among which, notably, are papa's checks and the advantages depending thereon;' faculty votes prohibiting a schedule of over so many hoars a week, or more than a certain number of courses for the semester; constant anxiety on the part of “PreX" and “M. D." lest the young buds of hops break down under the strain of study, aad so forth. This test appears particularly strange to the European mind. No one gives a thought there. It appears, to the effects of study on the health of the students. "We may moan, sigh or revolt,' says the writer, "we may strike, protest or xlle In the attempt; from the serene Olympus of the faculty the gods watch with calm, unruffled brow the struggle of the nonentities In the halls of learning."
