The Bid drapery stamps this frock of white soiree or chiffon as
a Callot creation, the bias bands being of niolre. Of moire, also, are
the long sleeves and pump bow. The white hemp hat is embroidered
In beads.
. Her garden-party frock is a succession of flounces assembled
by the skilful hand of Callot. Through her bluck tulle and creamy
lace glimmer tints of bright blue satin. She wears an embroidered
chiffon and gourah bat. .

In these troublous times on the lltllo
earth It la refreshing and encouraging to
make an Intellectual eonralon among
the really great orha that surround tis.
and to oherrve
with what grand
serenity they con
tinue undisturbed
In the pursuit of
their wonderful
ways.
At the present
moment the most
distant member of
the. nun'a company.
the planet Nep
tune, I visible,
with the aid of a
mail telescope. In
the evening aky
Between the con
stellation Gomtnl and Cancer. It la a
big world, equal In sIsa to eighty-five
eartha. It la the outermost sentinel that
"guarrin with solemn round" the bivouac
of the aolar system. Where Ita measured
paces fall lies ihe planetary frontier.
Beginning from Its dark and lonely neat,
the awful Raharas of Interstellar spar
stretch a ay. Illimitable, though sprin
kled with distant anna like diamonda
scattered over a tracklesa desert.
This sentry world strides slowly on his
mighty turn. He has eight thousand
elgnt hundred million mllea to go for
even' rircla around his campflre. the sun.
Ephemeral Incident a occurring In the
planetary tents that he guards are noth
ing, they do not exist for him. nor he for
them. When ha shall have completed
another round and returned to his pres
ent post between the Twins end the
Crab, looking down once more, from the
same point, through the pleasant June
twilight, not a living soul of all the mil
lions now alive will be left upon the
earth.
The "mystic chords of niemoiy" will,
for all these, have long since been broken.
Flva "hungry generations" will have
trod them down deep Into the dust of
forgetfulnuss. A hundred and sixty-five
years In tho measure of Neptuno's orbi
tal period. Yet hia pace, slow In an
astronomical sense. Is seven-fold faster
than the swiftest flight of the destroying
shell.
As is suitable for his position, a wetcher
cn the outpost, Neptune possesses a range
of vision unrivalled by any other mem
ber of the solar system. For him the
.parallaxes or the stars are thirty times
as great as tor the eerth.v This Is be
cause of the giant diameter of his orbit,
which la nearly B.flOO.noO.000 mllea. Cven
the most distant stars must show some
ireasoreable change of place In thi sky
when viewed from the opposite ends of
a base-line as vast as that. Here on the
earth we , cannot, tell how far away
mighty Canopus is. We simply know he
Is so distant that a base-line IM.OOO.toO
mllea long, furnished by the diameter of
tho earth's orbit, has no measurtable
length viewed from Canopus. The same
it, true of all but'a very few of the stars.
But In the sentry box of Naptune
Canopus' diatance may be accurately
ktiown. The records kept there may show
the range for every bright star, and even
for every star in the Milky Way, so that
if a sidereal world war should breok out
and the ' sun should - feel compelled to
bombard his far off brothers the solar
rro.lectllea could be landed with teadly
rtiect.
There is another visual advantage which
the sentinel Neptune enjoys over the
rlaneta that circle nearer to the sun.
Since he Is thirty times farther from the
sun than the earth Is, he receives 900
times less aolaf light, area per area, than
our planet gets. Thst Is the eama as
saying that daylight on Neptune Is 900
times ires intense man upon the eartn.
Thus he la like a sentry paring in the
l comparative darkness around the edge of
an encampment In tho woods, unbl'nded
by too near neighborhood to the ctntral
fire. Still, although the sun as seen from
Neptune la only about as great In ap
parent diameter a an electric arc light,
yet It gives an Illumination between SOO
and W0 times as bright as that of full
moonlight on the earth.
tt would ba great to ride the circuit
with Neptune to have one's brief trrres
trial lifo-apan enlarged by tho aoale of
the long Neptunian years, and to I weep
"with optic glass" the starry hattle
rrnts from the circumference of thst
xast orbit. Hut Neptune would ofter a
strange, uncertain footing for animals
l'ke us. The mean density of the hug
planet la hut slightly greater than that
of water. It may be a gloho of liquid
for all that we can tell. If It has In
habitants they may be flsh-Uke creatures,
dwelling In a bubble ocean, or thoy may
be composed of substances so rare that
they resemble living balloona, scintillat
ing with prismatic hues as they roll In
the diminished sunshine or flash off the
sheen of the stars. But It la a long. Ions
way to Neptune, and this world may
never know what is going on In that one.
Engaged to Two Men at Once
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
How happy I could t with either.
were t'other dear charmer away!" wrote
the poet, and we who read smile with
amused tolerance. But the situation Is
not amusing at all. . Either It Is a
tragedy of Imperfections, a drama of
deceit, or a distorted problem play of
stolen happiness.
"I have two young men frlende." writes
roily. "One lives In the sunt town as I,
the other out of town. I am desperately
In love with both of them. And I am
sure they both love me, as they both
have proposed, I accepted both. The
reason was I loved both so well I wss
Afraid I would make a wrong choice. I
thought I would be able to decide In a
year which I loved the best. But now
they both want to marry this fall and I
don't know whloh to take. Please ad
vise ma quickly as I am In great need of
help. I am IS years old, and both the
men are over 26 years old."
Tolly aged II years what you . are
really In need of Is a spanking. Suppose
you aorept a verbal one from me.
You have done a thing that Is con
temptible and dishonorable. Tou have
lowered your womanhood by deceiving
two men and you are likely to lower
their standard of womanhood when they
find you out. When you were with
either, he became temporarily the one
you loved and so,, when you went to the
other, you betrayed the man you had
Just thought you loved.
The standard of lova for decent folk Is
to love one only and to cleave to him or
her. And since, ymi think you love two
men, you love neither but Instead you
have a morbid desire to be made love
to! You love yourself, my girl; you love
to have your precious self courted and
worshipped- And so you have supplied
yourself with two admirers and stimu
lated your own fondness of conquest.
What would you think of a man who
similarly deceived two women? Chival
rous folk would think "cad" too kind a
name for him. And even "scoundrel"
would seem to gloss over the situation of
taking the love and allegiance or two
women and of laying up for one (or both)
unhapplness when the day of awakening
came.
The fact that you are a girl makes
what you have done no whit more decent
than would be the conduct of a man who
acted with similar shameleswnesa. In fact
It Is worse. Tou have cheapened your
own womanllood and all the standards
of sweetness and reserve and maidenly
modesty that ought to be the loveliest
thing In your youth.
You are playing fast and looee -with
the moat sacred emotion In life. Ahead
of you lie wifehood and motherhood and
the saoredness. of .home making. Since
your promise is divided between two-it
Is valueless to either. Theoretically you
have violated the principles of home and
the sanctity or marriage.
You think I am taking a girlish prank
pretty seriously, don't youT Well, your
"girlish prank" can't fall to cost one
man his happiness and illusions about
the woman he thought of sacredly.' And
the one man who marries you If either
Is) so foolish now Is fairly sure always
to remember that you are ce.pa.hle of de
celt and duplicity.
Make your confession now to each
don't wait to be found out-as diaoovered
you surely will be; but have the one
saving grace ef decency; acknowledge
wnat yon nave none, if either man can
find It In bis heart to forgive you; If you
can feel humility enough to desire to
spend your life In making up for one
cruel duplicity; If you feel shame at your
Ignoble act. then marry. But the safest
thing for you to do Is to realise that
you are not at all In love with either,
but Just fascinated by love. And thee
wait humbly for the miracle of real lovs1
to come Into your life.
And may all other flighty little girls
who play at love and play . with love,
profit by your silliness. .

EIGHTH KPI90DE.
A loud chorus ef mockery drowned his
voice.
But Carson shouted at the top of his
lungs, "dive him air," and when he had
secured a sort of silence he went on:
"Brother Barclay la all right." he shouted;
"he thinks the aame as we do. only he
don't think' tt tn the same way! aire
him air!"
Carson got a laugh, and Tommy was
given air. And seeing that he was being
given air, he smiled a very winning
smile fit happened to light first upon
Mrs. Ounadorf) and began to speak once
morw thlg time with confidence, because
by good tuck he had happened upon some
thing to say. that- seamed to him worth
saying. '
. "Brothers." he said, "your backs are all
turned to the door of this hell. Mine
isn't"
He had : succeeded jR exalting their
curiosity. Many turned and had a look
at the door, and then loked back at the
speaker. One or two smiled and nodded
as If thoy knew what was coming, which
tliey didn't. Tommy continued:
"While you were so loudly applauding
my opening remarks (laughter and nudg
ings) that door opened and that door
closed."
Onca more heads turned toward the
door. .
"And," said Tommy, raising his voice
for tho first time, "a man went out
"He went out In a hurry. He went out
for two reasons. First, because his busi
ness here was finished, and second, be
cause he knew that I recognised him in
spite of his false mustache. Well, you
oould have caught him if you hadn't been
so busy making noises at me. He was a
Plnkerton man."
Tommy checked an outburst uf rage
with a commanding gesture.
"His business was to find out If we
are going to attack tha-atockede. or not.
He thinks we are. But we are not."
"The hell we're not! Why aren't we?
Who told your etc., etc
"It's for you to decide," cried Tommy,
"but I wish you'd let me tell you whst
I ssw on the plstform st the freight
elation."
Again, by.excltlug curloalty, ,ne had
secured attention. '
"I saw," said Tommy, "a large wooaVn
box. On the box was printed Rotary Air
Pump. But on the box under tlfaa
words had once been printed the name,
Goes and Goss. That conveys no mean
ing to you? (Joas snd Gone Is a firm

and cannon! Brothers, the llotary Air
Pump which 1 saw on the vUtform'at

There was a long and ominoug silence.
"Have you ever." continued Tommy
cheerfully, "watched si man watering Vila
front lawn with a boss? It's easy for
the man with the hose to hit every blade
of grass on the front lawn. It's Just as
easy ( as it is for the man with, the ma
chine gun to hit every man In a crowd.
"Attack, that stockadet That's . iust
what old man Kebr wants you to da He
will mow you down' like grass, and the
public will say It's your own fsult"
Not only did the large crate contain a
machine gun, but smaller cases which
Tommy had not observed, marked "Picks
and hotels." containing high-power
rifles and ammunition. But tor thst
night, st least, old man Kehr'a deadly
preparations for giving the strikers what
he considered a well deserved and aalu
tary lesson were In vain.
Dawn broke.
"They're not coming," said the Pinker
ton man. "They must have listened to
Mr. Barclay after all, But it looked, so
help me, as If they were going to tear
him to pieces first, snd try and rush us
afterward."
"Any man with bralne." said Kehr, "Is
a menace when he's on ths wrong slda
of a question. We must get rid of Mr.
Thomas Barclay. Olve me that code book
and a telegraph blank."
After some labor and a grim smils at
tho finished product, old msn Kehr dis
patched the following cypher to Gordon
BircUy:
"Suckers won't bite. . Tour muttering
carburettor Tommy has tickled Aphrod
ite. Please pound his whiskers quick."
"Now. then," he aald to Mr. Plnker
ton man, "rush that!"
