London. The fashion for gold which has shown Itself In the beauti ful cloths of gold, especially for ubb at court functions, has led to a re vival of the sprinkling of the hair with gold dUBt. "Gold dust la now used to brighten the coiffure for evening wear, but more extensively for occasions when fancy dress Is worn," said a well known ilond street hairdresser. "Women do not dye their hair golden nowadays, but they seek meth ods of giving the natural color a bright effect. Gold dust can be most effectively used for fair balr or hair j of a light brown shade." Limit on Magistrate- Says Ten Days Is Enough for Mother-in-Law. Would Be Far Better Appreciated If They Would 8horten Their Visits and Confine Themselves to Postal Cards. New York. Magistrate McGulro, In the Flatbusu court, fixed ten days as tho limit for visits for mothers-in-law. The caso In point was that In which young Mrs. May Coyle had summoned her mother-in-law, also Mrs. May Coyle, a resident of Boston, to court on a charge of disturbing her domes tic psaco and happiness. Harry Coylo, son of Mrs. May Coyle of Boston, sat back In tho rear of tho court room and never opened his mouth. His pretty young wife did all the talklug and painted her mothcr-ln-law as a "kill Joy" and a "czarina." "She camo down from Boston ten days ago," said tho younger Mrs. Coyle, "and took charge of everything. Every time I opened my mouth she squelched me. I didn't know how to cook; I didn't know how to wash the baby; I didn't know how to do tbla that or the other thing. Sho broke all our rules and make new ones; sho told us how thoy did things In Boston, and that thaUwas the only right way Finally Bbe turned my husband against me, and I bad to tako myself and my baby home to mother. I tele phoned ber to go home, but sho refused." DOG TELEPHONES FOR HELP Locked In Store, Rover Yelps Into In strument and Police Finally Come to Hie Rescue. East Orange, N. J. Rover, a yellow dog owned by Michael Bellottl, a boot black, of 39 Greenwood avenue, this city, called help when It found Itself locked up 'In the shop, by knocking; down tho telephone, calling central, andfthen sending such noises over the wire that the telephone operator Bent word to the police that something was wrong In the shop. The result waa that a policeman was sent there and the dog was released. Rover, In his efforts to reconcile himself to his Im prisonment, had eaten most of Bel lottt's blacking. He also had reduced the shop to a condition of unprecedent ed disorder. One of the girls In the telephone ex chango was nodding near the switch board early when a call came from the Bellottl telephone. "Hello!" she said. There was no human response, but Bho heard coming over tho wire a whining nnd snarling nolso, and at In tervals, the sound of things falling. Once sho thought sho heard a human being pleading for mercy, and Imme diately afterward came n gurgling sound. Tho uncanny noises worked on her nerves, nnd sho called up po lice headquarters. "Iiam sure there Is something wrong in Hellottls." sho said. "Tho noises there aro simply terrible." Patrolman Zlnk rushed to tho place, forced a window and found Rovor making desperate efforts to get out. Courtesy Brings $20,000. Atlanta, On. William R.

Aftor being denied admis sion to the probate court because he was In his shirt sleeves, James Sulli van, a 200-pound liveryman,, borrowed a coat from 100-pound assistant Judge Ralney and won his case. Her Stay - Mother-tn-Law Coyle said her daughter-in-law was exaggerating. "How long ,havo you been here?" asked Magistrate McGulro. "Ten days," replied Mrs. Coyle, Sr. "Ten days is long enough for any mother-in-law to hold possession," re plied the court "Ten .days should be the limit for all mothers-in-law. While mothers-in-law are more or less a necessary Institution, it Is posslblo for them to become an evil through failure to use discretion. Mothers-in-law are constitutionally 'bossy.' Thero are exceptions, I admit; but they are fow. It seems to be their exquisite function to domineer and tread upon the feelings of tholr daughters-in-law. They seem to forget that they onco were daughters-in-law and bad mothers-in-law inflicted upon them. "Mothers-in-law would be far'better appreciated If tbey.vould shorten tholr visits and confine most of their Inter course with their sons and daughters' families to postal cards and not paper." "I will use telegraph blanks here after," Bald Mrs. Coyle, Sr. "Good," said the court, "and I would advise you to take the first train borne to Boston If you have any regard for your son's future happiness." "I will take tho next' and fastest train home," said Mrs. Coyle, acidly. "I have a fine home In Boston, which Is tho finest city In the world. It la the homo of culture and refinement." His honor bowed to Mrs. Coylo, Sr. Mrs. Covin. Sr.. Icnored thn hnv I swung around on her heel and quickly marched out cf tho court (Copjrrliht, igii, by AttocUted Literary t'reti.) "I certainty don't want to meet him," said Mary-Cornelia, with her head In tho air. "He hasm't a thing to recommend him but his money." "How do you know?" Leonora de manded. "Listen to this!" Mary-Cornelia sat up In the hammock, and read: "'I want you to bo nlco to him, Corry, dear. He Isn't good-looking, and his clothes are badly cut. But he's good and kind, and haB loads of money ' " Mary-Cornelia threw tho letter Into her cousin's lap. "Neither good looks or stylo!" "Sho says ho's good and kind." "Oh, of cotirso sho had to say somo thing. Put any man can bo good and kind and a nonentity." "No, ho cau't," said Leonora, who was married happily, and had tho wlHdom of tho contented wifo. "Ned Is that kind of n man, nnd my father was. But If I searched tho list of our acquaintances 1 shouldn't find moro than a half dozen husbands and lovers who are really tender and true." "Aunt Jano doesn't say anything about his being 'tonder nnd true.'" "It's tho samo thing," Leonora stated. "Kind men and good men are tender men and true men, and you'll learn as the years go on to care less for good looks and more for a good heart." "Well, anyhow," Mary-Cornella shift cd the argument, "I am not going to stay at home to see him tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to take my lunch and a book, and go to fllg Rock and have a lazy day all to myself." "But Aunt Jano will be hurt She Bays ho was so good to her, while she was 111 at the hotel In Florida." "You are a great deal nicer than I am," Mary-Cornelia's eyes had a wicked light in them, "and you'll ask him questions about himself, and get him to talk, and he'll have a lovely time." "But he wans to meet you, and he's coming to dinner." "I'm not a fortune hunter," the light had gone out of Mary-Cornelia's eyes,' "and you people needn't try to marry me to a rich man that I don't like." "You're unJuBt," Leonora sold, hot ly, "as If I wouldn't keep you with me forever. But how do you know you won't like him, Corry?" "Because," Mary-Cornella gathered up an armful of books, preparatory to her departure. The next morning, a tall and wil lowy maiden wended her way through the daisy-starred fields. In one hand she carried a basket, In the other a small book. Over her arm was a rug, on her head was a wide hat A big collie dog followed her.' When they reached tho little stream beside which towered a great rock, Mary-Cornella spread tho rug In the shade. But she was not In a mood to read. She throw stones Idly In the water, and watched Bobs run after them. "HI, there," said a voice suddenly, from the other side, "you're scaring the flsh." . Mary-Cornella peeped around the rock. A young man In faded brown corduroys was casting his line. She threw another stone, and drew back Into her biding plaoe. "HI, there, boy," said the voice again, "you wait till I come across the bridge." Mary-Cornella .liked the voice. It waa that of a man born to command. Sho kept very still. She could hear the whirr of the reel as the line was cast Once there waa a splash and a chucklo of satisfaction. Mary peeped around the rock again and saw that the young man had caught a flsh. "I like bis looks." she said to Bobs, oftly. Mary-Cornella was a young lady of retiring tastes. The appeal that the young man' made to her was strong, but no appeal could make her overstep the bounds of propriety, so with a sign she opened ber book and read, keep ing her eyes sternly away from the tempting corner. Then suddenly Bobs began to bark excitedly, and Mary-Cornella. looking up, saw slipping through the ground just beyond ber, a snake. Sho screamed, and ran, stumbling around the corner of the rock, meeting halfway across the rustic bridge, the young man In corduroys. "For heaven's sake," he gasped, as he was clutched by the vision in pink, "are you hurt?" Mary-Cornella explained, distracted ly. "It wan so big and horrid," she shuddered. He left ber on the bridge while he dispatched the enemy, then he came back to her, and found her, very white and ahaky, sitting beside bis reel and rod. "Oh, thank you so much," she said. "I I don't think I waa ever so fright ened In my life." "I don't blame you. He was a dan gerous customer," be asserted. Tben aa he took In ber beauty and charm, ha aaked, suddenly, "Was It you who threw the stones V "Tea. Tou were ao sure I waa a boy that I waa tempted" "I came over from the hotel early talS'inornlng," he aatd. "I am up here to meet some people that I don't know, and I waa not to call until after noon. I'm doing It for the sake of an old lady I met in Florida. She waa such a dear old thing that I didn't want to disappoint her. But It's tort ot bore. "I don'l seo why," sho began. "Well, It's this way. Sho has a niece n namesake Cornelia, I think, any how,, sho calls her Corry and she's got an awfully good opinion of her self, and she Isn't a bit pretty." Cornelia gasped. "If you haven't seen her how do you know?" "Uecouso the aunt showed me a picture " Taken ten years ago! Mnry-Cornolla knew that hideous photograph. "But I oughtn't to talk about her," tho young man said, repentantly. "Per haps you know her." "Corry Stevens? Yes, I've known her for yenrs." "Please don't glvo me away," he begged. "It was a mean trick to talk nbout her. But I lovoho out-of-doors, and I hato to go back to the botol and dress up." "Don't go," she said, suddenly "Have lunch with me. It's over there in a basket" Then, wistfully, "You won't think me too unconventional will you, for asking you? I've known Miss Jane Stevens for years, so ( feel as If we have been properly In troduced." "She's a dear old soul," he said earnestly. "Are you the "rich Mr. Dobson'?" Mary-Cornella asked. ' "Who called me that?" he demand ed, angrily. "Oh, Corry Stevens. And she said she hoped you wouldn't come " He laughed. "I deserve, that Did she say anything else?" "Yes, but I'm not going to tell you. And If you're not afraid of seeing an other snake, you might go over and get my basket I packed It plentifully, and If thero Isn't enough 'we can broil your trout" He caught at her suggestion, and presently they were ready for their cookery. They toasted bread, and melted cheese, and broiled the trout, and had a feast fit for the gods. "Where do you live?" the young man asked. "Near Corry Stevens," she replied. "I wish you'd let me come up to night," he pleaded. "I feel that an acquaintance begun this way ought to go on indefinitely." "I'll como over to Corry's, she com promised, "then you will be introduced to me, properly. By the tlmo you get, back from the hotel, I can run home and wo will both get there for dinner. I am perfectly at home at Corry a- "What Is your name?" be demanded. "Mary Stevens." she said. "I'm re lated to Corry, you know." "Well, If Corry Is half as nlco as her cousin," ho was .taking the rela tionship for granted,"""sho's a pretty nice girl " A half hour later, a flushed and radiant young lady rushed Into the liv ing room of the Stevens' mansion and throw herself In Leonora's arms. "He's lovely. Leonora." she de clared, "and ft wa- Just like Aunt Jane to say be wasn't good looking, nnd that his clothes weren't stylish. Her ideals are those of a generation ago. Leonora Bhook her. "Who are you talking about?" "The rich Mr. DobBon," Mary-Cornella laughed, hysterically. The result of the conversation was two bright-eyed and elated young women. "Put on your prettiest gown," Leonora advised. When young Mr. Dobson waa ush ered Into the living room, he saw be fore blm the nymph of the woodland encounter. "Then you reached here before 1 did," be said In a stage whisper. "Where is Corry?" Mary-Cornella, a vision In filmy white and silver, made him a defiant little courtesy, "I'm Corry." she said. "What?" "Yes," and then she told him bow she had run away only to meet blm, after all. He caught her hand In his. "It waa fate," he declared ardently. "It was Aunt Jane," Mary-Cornella corrected, demurely. Tha "Driver" Ante. The most formidable of the insect pests that affect the dwellers on the West African coaBt are the "driver" ants. These insects move In vaat armies of millions, marching in a dense column two feet In width, at a uniform pace and in a straight line. If a native but lies in their path and the Inmates fall to prevent the ants from gaining the threshold tha but must be vacated till the long line has passed through and consumed everything edible within the building. The only thing that can stop tha "driver" is a large Are directly In their line" of march. A native, when he discovers In time that the ants are marching toward his hut, kindles a fire In front ot the advancing column. It turns neither to the right nor to the left, but plunges into the flames, for every ant seems Impelled to go forward, no matter at what cost After the "drivers" have walked into the fire for an hour or two and sev eral hundred thousand have been con sumed, tbelr sturdy stoicism weak ens. They deflect tbelr Una to tha extent of a few feet, and, passing the Are, set out in a fresh path flf de struction, which leads them clear of tha hut they bad threateaed. Har per's Weekly.
