Arnnx ? , May 10. [ Special toTnnBnn. ]
Easier Tuesday was a rare day oven as days
go In the Attic spring time , nnd every note of
nature was an Invitation out of doors. Notwithstanding -
withstanding her panatlinnrca nt homo , all
Athens seemed bent on emptying itself Into
the country. Steam yachts were plying from
Piraeus thror.h ; the straights of Salamls and
' .ho Bay of Eleusis to Megnra , nnd the Pclo-
ponncsian railway reblcd its train service to
the same destination. It seemed an English
bank holiday
TIIAXSI.ATKD 'yro cmr.r.K.
With n multitude of them that kept holi
day , I left Athens by an early morning train.
It Is only twenty miles to Megara as the crow
( lies , but Greek engineers , with a proper re
spect for nature's laws , have made It more
than thirty. Instead of pushing west through
Ibc pass of Daphne , thus securing an almost
straight line to Eleusis , tlio railway beam
due north some six miles to take advantage of
the little valley opening between yKgalcos
nud Panics/roin the Attic Into the Elcusin-
lan or Thriaslan plain. Leaving the station ,
hard by Colonns and the academy , wo sped
through miles of olive groves be
fore reaching the open country.
Not far from Menldhl , the ancient
Acharnno familiar to readers of Aristophanes ,
wo swing to the west around Corydallus
( the mountain of the crested lark ) , in which
old Aegaleos cads , and Had ourselves close
under the rocky range of Panics. Emerging
from the valley into the Thriaslan plain ,
there bursts upon us n glorious view of the
bay of Eleusis , the Island of Salamls , and the
mountains of Megara : and this view with
evcr-cbiinging aspects feasts the eye oven to
our journey's end. To say nothing of histori
cal association , forgetting even the name of
Greece , the way is ono long enchantment.
The charm of nature's combinations plain ,
mountain and sea , with this tender , over-
brooding sky nnd an atmosphere that at
times seems to hold in solution the very
nectar and ambrosia of the gods this charm
Is , within my own observation , unique , and
fct In Greece it haunts you everywhere. The
mountains are always round about you , and
there is scarce a mountain which does not re
fresh you with sight and smell of the sea.
True , the days are not all perfection , but In
the mala from October to May they
imr.A'rni : or IIAI.M ANII wixn.
For this day , at least , the gods seemed bent
on making amends to old Megara for her ile-
nartcd glory. And well they might , for
Mogara is the very Ichabod of ancient cities.
Magnificence and meanness , these are the ex
tremes of a city history that stretches over
8,000 years. Founded ( according to tradition )
1100 B. C. , she attained her prime four or five
centuries later ; bccitme the mother of great
colonies among them Byzantine , now Con-
Btnntlaoplo ; sent twenty triremes to
Bulamls. aud : f,000 meiiQto Plataca.
Standing on the narrow highway from
Sparta to Athens she felt every shock of the
long conflict between Dorian and Ionian
Greece ; and after ages of decline and darkness
wo see her pillaged by Alaric in the fourth cen
tury and at last practically destroyed by the
Venetians in 10S7 , the same unlucky year In
which they blew up the Parthenon.
So much for history. Of glorious legend
old Greece had little that did not at some
point touch Megara.
She had her own tradition of the delugo.
McguroSjSon of Zeus by ono of the Sithnldliin
nymphs , escaped Deucalion's flood by swim
ming to yonder heights guided by the cry of
cranes ( gerauoi ) licnro Mount Genniela.
She had her Citluuronlan lion which , after
n surfeit of overy-duy Mcgnrians. llnally
made a meal of the heir apparent. So King
Mcgarcus got out of patience and offered his
daughter and his throne to who would slay
the beast. Then along comes Alcathoos , son
of Pelops , takes the contract and closes out
the business before his brother-in-law ( that
might have been ) Is half digested. There
can bo no doubt of the authenticity of
these facts , for Puusnnius , who visited
Megara some seventeen hundred years before
J was there , saw the templu the lucky lion-
killer erected to Artemis and Ainjllo on that
occasion. Vet I am bound to admit that an
old Mogarian dame to whom I put some ques
tions ou thu subject knew 110 more about It
limn
TIIU AVHIIAOE MIIIHASKAK ,
knows of Coronndo's invasion. Megara , too ,
hud her little trouble with ICing Mimis , who
, came over from Crete and pulled down her
walls. Has there ever been a time when
Crete was not making it hot for somebody
somewhere ? However , this Cretan spirit
must have been under the patrongo of the
masses. Wo owe to it ono of the prettiest
bits of veritable history. For Alcathoos , go
ing about to rebuild hie walls , Apollo lent a
baud both hands , In fact , since ho laid down
his lyre on a certain stone the while. Paus-
onlas saw the stone. There could bo uodoubt
of It , for , he says , when ono smote It with n
nubble It gave back the notes of a lyre. And
thu delighted old globe-trotter goes on to gos
sip about the lyric melody of Egyptian Muni
tion whoa smitten by the sunrise. Somebody
should set Dr. Schllemaun on the scent of
that stone. Its recovery would make an
epoch la the history of music.
But why dwell oa the Megarlan myths of
Admstus , of Tereus , of Hyllus son of Her
cules , of Hippolytu and her Amazons , of Alc-
iiieao , of Iphlgenia ; all their tomus were
here. Still I cannot forbear tickling every
true Homeric diaphragm with one moro
touch of old Pausanlas : And Agamemnon
built hero n shrine for Artemis when ho came
to pursuado Calchas , who dwelt in Megara ,
to. follow him to Troy. I am sum every
thumber of the Iliad remembers the old seer
kindly along of the terrible serpent and the
twittering of the swallow-brood. I , at least ,
felt more at home In Megara on tils account.
Far more than from the fact that Hyperion ,
ton of Agamemnon , was Megara's last king
a king so proud and greedy that at last the
people slew him aud thenceforth took turns
tnuually la
ItU.NXlNfl TI1K TOVN THKMSI'tiVES.
As the whole territory could have been lost
within thu present city limits of Omaha , it
hardly required a continental order of statu-
umuHhlp.
But It Is time to turn from the mythical to
the matter-of-fact Mogara , Into which a nine
teenth century locomotive Is whirling us as
wo dream. A somewhat irregular plain , six
or seven miles In length and breadth , with a
mountain wall on thrco sldes.and thn Saronlo
gulf closing the circuit on the south. A mlle
or moro back from the gulf , springing from
the midst of this plain ami bearing from cast
to west , Is a long , low ridge , cleft apart so as
to form two citadels , Such Is the plain and
site of Megara , alike In her old magiilliecaco
nnd her modern meanness. In the great davs
of old parallel walls conni'cted the city with
its port , Nisn-a. us the long walls linked
Athens and Piiiuus , and the twin citadels
must have shone with strength and splendor.
Even In Its decline Pausanlas fills twelve-
pages of his Perk'gesis to catalogue Its still
enduring monuments : the fountain of
Tlicagcncs , with Its massive marble colon
nades ; Prytanoum ami the council house ;
heroic tombs ami trophies ; nineteen splendid
shrlacs and temples adorned with master
works in gold and ivory and ebony , iui well
us the oldest sculptured stones the traveler
has ever seen , There were the twelve gods

of Eros , Hlmeros and Pothos the passions

while Phidias himself had wrought upon the
Olympian Xuus , whose fare was of gold and
ivory , though thu i-ost was only clay and
plaster the PelopoancHlnn war having ar
rested the uullnUhcd work.
Adding to this account of Pausanlas what
IsoeraUvi hud said Jive or six centuries
earlier , namely , that Mcgani possessed the
largest house * lu Clrcoco , nnd wo have a pic-
lure of a great and prosperous and splendid
city. Wo can understand how she could so
i ; maintain her claim to tiulainis against
the powerof Athens -maintain it so effectIvely - ]
Ively , Indeed , and so sorely for Athens that
the latter had to make It n capital offense for I
any citizen to reopen the question , until
Solon , feigning madness , fired the Athenian
heart to n last victorious cndcavor.D Now ,
too , wo understand how Mcgarn should have
Iwen the mother of comedy , produced ono of
the great elegiac poets , aud developed her
own school 01 philosophy. Snsarion , Theog-
tils , Euclid , were all of Megara , And what
architecture and sculpture and painting must
have flourished hero Is a nccessarv Inference.
Cities nro not built aad beautified from with
out , but from within.
And what remains of It all ? The mountains
nro there , and the plain and the sea. The
long , low ridge , cleft In twain , still forms the
twin citadel of Megara. But vanished are
trophy and statue nnd temple nnd colonnade
and stately dwelling. It was thcMcgarlnnsof

nnd all tholr works. Down In the plain Is n
railway station. Between It and the acropolis
n mass of mean houses , very few of them at
taining the dignity of aa upper story and fit
for human habitation. Around the little
Agora is n long , low , rambling inn , such ns
one might find in a secluded New England
village , and some cafes , nnd near by a big ,
forlorn Greek church. The citadel , that shone
with marble , Is now terraced with hovels ,
the flat roofs of ono terrace forming the dooryards -
yards of its next neighbor above , and so on
to the summit. Streets there nro none goat
paths only ; and ono gets delightfully wound
up us ho seeks to thread his way through this
open-air labyrinth. Once at thu beau of navi
gation , however , ho gets his pay. From the
top of the topmost houses the prospect is
worthy of "Megara the Magnificent. " For
God's handiwork endures ; every wrinkle of
the mountains , every dlmplo of tbo sea , every
smllo of the sunny ovcrbroodlng sky that
warmed my heart today did they not tickle
the diaphragm of old Calchas thirty centuries
ago ns from this spot ho watched the birds In

they perceive : A garden of asphodel nnd

of color nnd movement and music ; a human
harmony that blends with every touch and

imagine Sithnidian nymphs more exquisitely

cither. Comely they look and modest and
wholesome , and I can vouch their soundness
of lung and limb. For , dancing from early
morning , I loft them apparently as trcsh at
sunset as they were at dawn. Of ball-room
beauty there is not u trace bad luck to the
ball room. The grace of limb and flush of
cheek owe nothing to the dancing master aud
the druggist. They come of healthful labor
in the fields : for Megara feeds her 5,000
souls in no other way and her wormeu

after the similitude of n palace : ' or take on
some of the flexibility and flavor of the vines

low roof which affords their own rude shel
ter. And. by the way , the goat of Greece of
fends neither nose nor eyes ; he is quite lit lo
claim kinship , and not too remote , with the
gazelle.
So much for the daughters of Megara as
works of nature. Contemplate them now as
works of art. And I should have reserved
Solomon ami Shoba for this crisis , for I quite
despair of catching for you even a glint of
the glory. My friend Doaao. who took forty
shots at them with his Kodak , could do it
better ; Rubens alone could do it well.
Thcso women who work in the fluids and
lodge with their goats an-ay themselves this
day of tlio year la purple and line linen yea ,
in silk and silver and gold , some of them la
pearls and precious stones. Here is the type :
Headdress of silver and gold gleaming
through n silken scarf which falls down the
back to the waist in graceful drapery ; jacket
of rich dark cloth or velvet , cpauletted aud
lavishly embroidered iu gold , showing white
vest in front ; short dark waist clinging
crimped about the form ; pure white skirt
reaching to the ankles ; half-sandal slippers
of rich material and embroidery. So for outline -
line ; now for n touch of color : The head
dress is a sort of national savings bank. It
is a helmet woven of nothing in the world
but gold and silver coin the trontlct usually
of Byzantine gold , all the rest of Greek half-
drachmae , which answer closely to our dime
except that they are thinner and more
artistic. Over this helmet , which really
covers the head .instead of perching like a
butterfly upon It , is thrown the scarf of white
or yellow silk , wonderfully cmbroidcred.with
sometimes also a fringe of coin , while a great
pendant of coin often falls from the scarf-
ends or finishes off the braidcd-trcs'sos at the
waist. The white vest , too , is often in effect ,
a breastplate of gold and silver coin , with
now and fien a flashing gem. Such is thu

of them I saw , ripe or budding. I cannot say
but I fancied that half the coined money of
the realm was dancing at the Megara Fair
not in the pockets of the men , but on the per
sons of thu women.

much about it as I do after consulting my
Greek lexicons and my Greek friends. At
least , of positive knowledge I can only add
this : Trata Is a fisherman's boat with its
nets doing business In the deep. And its n

and second intention , for our long chain

I have no doubt In the good old days this
paaegyris was a public pairing-off and the
maid who were the most money won first
choice. With thu advance of civilization
and the Megara still looks forward to the

Odysseus she cannot. In a few Instances only
I saw men dancing In u maiden circle , but
there Is no touch of hands , ho holds one end

it : "It consists of men uriucu with sabres

Over and above the public dances which at
3 o'clock were adjourned from the countrV
side to the lllllo agora , whore they were still
in full swing nt sunset , I caugnt pleasant
glimpses of private rehersals. Among them
this : Standing on a flat housetop near the
summit of tbo main citadel , I watch half n
dozen fine fellows practicing the pyrrhle In
the adjoining court. As I look on. the young
tnaslcr of Iho bouse , n soldier , brings
mo Iho Inevitable pitcher of retsluato
and In the most natural way In the world In
vites me to pucker. Refusal would have
been n gross incivility , nnd I proceed to wet
my lips. This beverage , a cheap wine with n
largo Infusion of rosin , is the liquor of the
country ; outside of Athens It is that or
water. It is persimmons to the unsophlsll-
catcd , nud I could Imagine no better antidote
for inebriety. The resin is put In to make
the wine keep , and It would keep a long time
if it waited for mo to drink it.
I am not aware that I have yet seen

but I saw a few comfortably mellow at Me

being under the sun. Put n pair of them to-
gclher and Ihelr kisses and caresses will as
tonish you. The effusion of two boarding *
school misses Just united after the long vaca
tion Is chilly In comparison. But it is not a
wholesome spectacle nor without its lesson
for the student of old Greek life.
As I thread my way down the Acroplls by
the goat paths , thinking nothing but n wheel
barrow could navigate them , a vision of the
nineteenth century flashes before nlyoyes ;
It is a bicycle whirling , an Aus
trian tourist through' Greece. That
was to Megara a stranger spectacle than
Megara to us. Anyway , the moment it ap
peared all the Megarian urchins nnd there

and flung themselves pall-mcll after It. And
the last I saw of that wheel It was spinning
out of Megara with a procession behind it

And so , without waiting to sco the moun

In the genial company of the Schllcmanna ,

Colts revolver , with twenty-nine notches
filed on the barrel , probably reveals the final
resting place of William Stcbbius , bettor
known to old-timers as "Catamount Bill , " the
"high pressure liar of the northwest. "
From "Pap" Woodson , a veteran on the
frontier , your correspondent gleaned a few
facts concerning the checkered career of
'Catamount B. , " etc. , on the "creek , " as the
Niobrara was called in those days.
"It is about twenty years since I first became
came acquainted with 'Catamount , ' " re
marked "Pap , " as ho shifted a quarter of
a pound of "long green" to the op
posite side _ of his mouth. "Ho
struck our camp , near Tunnel Rock ,
on ono of the meanest nights
it has ever been my luck to bo out in. It was
early in the spring mid it had been rain
ing all day. Myself and two pards were
sinchcd to the camp-llro trying to keep warm
when suddenly ono of the gaukiost looking
specimens of humanity that over were legs
stepped into the flare of the camp-fire. There
was a general movement on our part for
weapons , but the stranger unbuckled a smile
that made one of our bronchoswho happened
to catch a glimpse of it , break his picket rope ,
and said , 'Don't bo alarmed , gentlemen , I'm
harmless ; also d d hungry I' We turned
him loose on the grub box and ho oat like a
bound boy at a husking bee. After lowering
our provisions to n frightful extent he lit his
pipe and joined our circle around the lire. I
sized him up to bo about thirty years old. Ho
was tall , thin and had hair , the color of a sago
hen , that straggled down over his
shoulders threu or four inches. His
face was freckled , and his eyes
a mottled gray , and they bulged out like
an owl's. Ho had a nose like a hawk and a
mouth that seemed to reach from car to car.
W en ho laughed It gave a person an uiieom-
foiYiiblo impression that unless ho hobbled
his juvs ho was in danger of uncoupling his
h a d. Ho were a p.iir of buckskin units that
InU evidently bsea picked bsforo they ware
ripe , and they lacked tlireo inched of making
connections with the mociiosins on his feet.
A long-tailed coat covered his bony frame
and a small coonskin cap was perched oa the
side of his head ina rakish manner. Thrust
in a rawhide belt was the afterwards famous
"notched" revolver. Ho was about the
strangest looking duck that had over struck
creek.
"Catamount , " continued Pap , "remained
with ua for some time and then palled his
freight up tlio creek. Wo liked the whelp ,
but ho kept his tongue a wagging so infernal
much that wo were afraid ho would hoodoo
all the game in that vicinity , and ho was
such a spontaneous , vivid and en
tertaining liar that wo really hated to
see him go. When ho struck our camp ho
had seven notches filed oa the barrel of his
revolver. Ho returned In a few woelts and
proudly exhibited flvo additional notches.
And then wo discovered that wo had been
entertaining n destroying angel unawares.
According to his story , each notch In his
trusty gun represented the death wall of a
Sioux warrior. Ho gave It out that ho was a
bold , bad man from beyond 'way back , and
claimed that ho was foaled at the headquar
ters of Bitter Crook and cl'ilmo.l that ho had
crimsoned both banks of that stream to its
mouth with the Hfo blood of many , many
braves of the great Sioux nation. If any
body doubted his gory tulo ho would show
them the notches. 'Cat' got kind of fuzz-llko
one day by n sldo remark that old Jono
Ecker dovo-talled into ono of his oratorical
efforts. Jono observed that all 'Cat' needed
to wipe out the balance of the Sioux tribe
was a long breath nnd a new flic.
"Game was abundant that season , " said
Pap , "and wo had our hands full. 'Cat'
was with us part of the tlmo and
done a little work , but seemed to prefer roving
ing around. According to his story ho
'planted' an Indian about every week and
had the notches to show for It I
"The last I saw of Catamount , " continued
Pap , with a far-away look in his eyes , "was
late in the fall. Wo were getting about ready
to load our traps and plunder and leave for
winter quarters when ho mudo us oao of his
periodical visits. Ho seemed down-hearted
and said ho was not feeling well , and that ho
was thinking some of going back to his old
homo near Chicago , but hated to return with
out the 'pile' that ho came west to mako. Ho
loft our ( amp at Tunnel Rock In a few days
nnd Blurted down the river In u canoe. If
thcso nro his bones , of which I have no doubt ,
ho made a short trip. How ho met his death
I cannot imagine. Probably was taken sick
and died here all alone. Poor Cut , peace lo

And among them all , which should you
think lie would bo likely to prefer ? The an
swers weald bo as varied as the eyes , but I
fancy the larger.proportloa would bo like my
own , a simple "i don't know. "
I once know an Englishman , of sound opin
ions in most matters , who declared that all
the wickedness of the world emanated from
blonde women. He sntd that so soon as he
saw golden tresses and a milk-
and-roses complexion ho began to
guard himself as ho would hi
presence of a lovely serpent. Women of this
coloring he declared were always cruel ,
treacherous , cold-hearted and mischief-mak
ing. In fact , ho could not say enough against
them , and 1 always suspected ho had had
some bitter blomlo experience that had
warped his judgment.
Then another friend of mine used to aver
that the Lydia Thompson blondes of the
corps de ballet bleached their locks and
iisuumcd the pearly complexion peculiar to
that style because the father of all mischief
liked to thus
lifiii.nstjtn : Tin : MVERV or HIAVN : : .
"Then you grant that It is the livery of
heaven I" suggested I ou ono occasion , and
other persons being present , a free and pretty
heated discussion aiose , ' in' which one slue
claimed that no artist , no poet , no ecstatic rc-
ligieuso had ever imagined a brown angol.
"They always have fluffy golden hair taken
off their foreheads by the wind , mild blue
eyes and fair skins , " remarked a High cliurch
young lady who probably had done moro
angelic art-study and literature than any
of us.
"Dij you over see ouei" inn.riro.1 the
blonde-hater.
1 'No , but " '
"Did youover sco uny ono that had seen
onoi"
"No , but "
"Excuse mo , but have you any idea that
Raphael or Fra Angclico or any of the angel
portrait painters ever had an angelic model I'1
"Many of the saints have scon them , "
calmly replied the young lady , and n mocking
voice tit my elbow remarked :
"At least one can hardly fancy satan a
blonde. "
"O. I can ! " exclalmol another. "In fact ,
my idea of Mcphistophelca has always been a
colorless , haggard complexion , red hair , nnd
very palo-gray eyes , with red lights in them ,
and the thin , dry sort of ligure that goes with
that complexion. "
And so the ball was tossed from ono to an
other , and oa the whole the
III.OXDK3 HU > A H.VIID TIME Or IT.
Somebody quoted the saying of a young
beauty whoso cherubic face is surmounted by
a crown of pure golden ball * , whoso rich
abundance assorts itself in tendrils mid t\\\K \ \ \
and lovely shining curls , however she tries
to dross it , ana who the other day replied tea
a compliment upon her hair by saying she
found ( t almost impossible to live up to Unit
kind of hair. "Oao is expected to bo so
heavenly good , you khow , " declared she , In
conclusion , and this was cited as proof that
the blonde was always accepted as the typo
of virtue and perfection ; but some
body else at once declared that this spaech
showed tbo young lady to bo frivolous , vain ,
solf-coascious , and I know not what iKnidcs.
The some ono audaciously stated that
Tennyson sings in "Tho Princess , "
' Hrluht. and lieiee and llcklo Is the south ,
And fair and true and tundiu'Is thu north , "
and the bruno party were dlscomlltted until
tsomo ouo picked up a Tennyson and found
that "fair" had been substituted for "dark. "
And it seems to mo that the whole world Is
Just as much at variance on this point as
these friends of mine.
Certainly , as wo consider the famous
beauties and the famous rulers of men and
women , wo llud the vote of history a nearly
ami evenly balanced ono. *
Helen of Troy , they say , was a blonde , and
Cleopatra was certainly very brunette.
Aspasla's golden hair is celebrated , and
Phryno Is always depicted as an audacious
blonde , while Penclopo is dark The Roman
ladies bent on conquest bleached their locks
and dyed them red , and many a matron as
well as maid has dyed hor'n dark.
But , of course , the true question is : What
temperament goes wltli blonde or brunette
coloring ! My own experience Is that the
dark-skinned , dark-eyed , rather stately
women of my acquaintaiuiu are tho3Q
MOST IUSII.Y UXDBI1STOOI ) ,
most easily managed and. prepared for.
As a rule a largo brunette is timid , physi
cally and morally , self-distrustful , credulous ,
very uncomplaining and easily contented.
Among the fair , small , ' vivid blondes I llud
the restless souls who inovo the world , the
ardent enthusiasts , the femlnlno "kickers , "
as the word has como to bo used , the zouaves
of the women's army. 'I'lio blonde has her
violent fancies , but seldonva. grand passion ;
she expects to rccolvo quite as much as she
gives la devotion. self-sarillco and consid
eration. Sim Is indeed , often very exacting
and not Infrequently tyrannizes very sharply
over her so-culled lord , but still shu makes an
excellent wife , for she te AUrowd , clover and
sees the points of advh'li'tago in the social ,
business or ambitious career of the connu
bial 11 rm a good deal more quickly than her
husband will. She is not a very tender wife ,
however , nor even a tender mother , having
too many other strings in hand to give very
much attention to baby's leading strings ;
but her sons grow up to respect bet1 author
ity , and she places her daughters In murriugo
or In some vocation with u Una uud assured
hand.
I do not know whether I llko her or my
gentle , docile brunette the host , and I do not
know which to call the bt-bt woman , for each
is best la her own way.
And after all , the great army of women
are neither blonde nor brunette , but mezzo
tinted , with complexions In early youth of
peach and cream , rather than milk and roses ,
or pomegranate and nimolia , with brown
hair of various sbiulcu and grayish blue r-yos ,
and among these women I discover all thu
virtues and all thu vices of both blonde and
brunette , and am Inclined to think ttut in
tub question , as In so many otlicrs , the truth
lies between the two extremes , nnd If I had
to ohooso llfty women to colonize some now
Island of Hospcrldcs , I should not choose n
single blonde or brunette of pure type , bat
compose n symphony of mezzo coloring ,
voices , temperaments , llgttrcs , feeltntr pretty
suit ) that thcso would blend In a sweeter and
more satisfying harmony than the moro
piquant nnd piercing tones of thoblondoor
the sweet monotony of the brunette. And
nftcr all , wo each ono of .vi bavo personal
experiences nnd personal preferences
which bins our judgment In this iv-
spjct ; wo love this man or that
woman , nnd for the tltno we bollevo
that Just that style of beauty Is the Ideal wo
have alwavs held. Wo haven't , and by and
by wo shall smile at our own delusion and
flatly contradict our fatuous theories ; but
while It lasts , nnd oven perhaps In memory ,
wo shall cling to the admiration of blonda or
bruno In general , because once In particular
jvo loved n blonde or n bruno.
Another point to bo considered nowadays ,
however , Is , what Is her natural coloring I
For so many persons copy Queen Elizabeth ,
who had 1UO wigs as well as 100 gowns , and
were whatever style of complexion she
chose I
The ladles of today are not so frank about
It , but wo most all have watched some start
ling metamorposes in this direction , and I do
not ltdow why a brunette who feels herself
endowed with a blonde temperament may
not express It outwardly and visibly.
So. having discussed the question In all Its
bearings , wo must , after all , "lay It on the
table , " as our legislators do the questions
whoso true inwardness lies too deep lor them ,
and rest upon the conclusion that as It has
been , so it shall be , and wo shall all of us con
sider that style the most charming which
clothes the bolng wo most dearly love.

This chuir , which had u solid buck , stood

Kontlv toward the gutter. The wind
blew steadily , with just sulllelont
strength to move the chair tit u "slow
pace , The persons who happened to bo
looking out of neighboring windows or
of passing streot-cara or carriages , and
therefore did not feel the wind , could
not imagine what had como over the
chair , that it should thus gravely and
sedately leave its fellows.
Even these who wore on the sidewalk ,
for the most part , never thought that
the wind could bo the cause of the
phenomenon. A policeman across the
wav made up his mind that some thief
had tied u thin wire to the chair , nnd
was dragging It whore ho could nut it
Into iv wagon and drive oil' with It.
The olllcer started toward the chair ,
and just then a clerk who had happened
to see the runaway dashed out of the
furniture-store , recaptured the fleeing
object , and tied it to a sofa. It took the
policeman some time to understand the
cause of the chair's prank.
