MY OLD CLOTHii*.
I used to have n suit of clothes
Ail rags and paint and dirt;
What luxury It was to wear
A suit I couldn't hurt!
Secure within this wreck of cloth
1 groveled on the ground;
In garret, stable, garden, yard.
Primeval bliss 1 tound.
It waxed familiar with the woods,
The thickets, marshes, brooks.
It carried rents and burrs and mud
From all the forest nooks,
1 got down close to Mother Earth,
My spirit seemed to root
And spread its fiiaments and grow
Within that moldy suit.
Hut ah, m> wife in vandal mood
One hapless cleaning day,
In valiant tit of tidiness,
<5uve mj old suit away!
And now I weed the garden walks
At length of formal hoe,
And keep w ithin the proper paths
When to the woods 1 go.
I'V'i lost the sense if sweet, warm dirt,
The kinship with the ground;
I must be cart fill of m> clothes
Whene'er 1 tinker round.
I do not own a singh suit
But claims n y constant carp.
Nor shred of blessed cloth that 1
Obliviously wear
Before try oldest suit is tit
For either work or fun,
A solemn year- at leas: a > ear—
Must circumspectly run.
O w man woman! prim and neat,
The flower Gf humankind,
I'd not abate your daintiness
And purity of mind;
But, id:, u tti j eavi-niy perfectness,
Vour graces will ! < girt
if you will let a happy man
Just wallow in the dirt!
Puck.

Robert Stirling had stretched
himself upon the sand at the feet
of Helen Hanson, who sai staring at
the white sails hovering over the bay.
Silence had fallen upon them—a si
lence that was a little embarrassing
to Helen, who felt aggrieved that Rob
ert had taken her refusal so calmly.
"If only he had pleaded his cause
better perhaps 1 might-” Helen's
thought merged into another: "But
that was the way he acted when he
failed in his college examinations—
just packed his things and went off
out west without-”
“Do you remember how we used to
'make believe' when we were chil
dren?" Helen felt thankful that Rob
ert had at last broken the painful
silence. “You were always a queen,
princess or fairy, while I was king or
slave, knight or knave, elf or ogre,
whatever you wished.”
"What good times we used to have!
You were very obedient then. I won
der if you would be as docile now.”
Helen glanced sidewise at Robert, who
immediately sat up and looked eagerly
at her.
“Try nte!”
“O. I didn’t mean—we're grown up
now.” she demurred.
"Just for this one day,” he pleaded.
"You know this is my last day h»re
and I may never see you again.”
"Well.” irresolutely, "what shall the
game be? You choose this time,
B-Bob.”
at uci ucnuai iuu.
“ ‘Bob,’ of course. The play? Let’s
make believe that the dream of my
whole life is coming to pass, that you
are going back with me—as my wife—
to that dreary mining town."
Her face was turned from him, but
her ear and fair, round neck was pink
with blushes.
"Surely you will do this for your old
playmate,” he insisted.
"How shall we play—begin—such a
game as that?” she stammered. "1
never played it, you know.”
“You might begin by turning so that
I can look into your face. And—well,
1 can at least hold your hand; you
knowr 1 used to. There, that's better.”
He looked thoughtfully at the slim,
white hand that lay in his own strong,
brown one. Then, so tenderly that
her heart bounded:
"1 am going to tell you. dear, about
the cottage 1 built for you,” he began.
“It is a mean little town that must be
our home for a while, just one street
bordered by shanties, mostly saloons.
Our cottage is a little way from the
street. It has only four rooms, bare
and ugly now, but when you are in
them—ah-h!
He drew his brea:h sharply and
looked out upon tin ba; . while her
eyes wandered up the 1 t ..eh where the
rest of the party were making a drift
wood tire.
“The large living-room has four win
dows; they were my one extravagance
for 1 remembered how fond you are of
sunlight, so the room gets the sun all
day long."
"I’ll make white muslia curtains,”
Helen cried, entering into the spirit
of the game. "And we’ll have shelves
in one corner for our books—or shall
we have a cozy corner with lots of
cushions?”
"There’s another corner to make
cosy, but I’ll have to make the frame
work out of packing boxes. You know
it costs a great deal to get furniture
up into the mountains."
"Packing boxes make lovely furni
ture. I’ll take one trunk full of odds
and ends for draperies. I suppose I
can take two trunks?”
"Four, if you like.”
"I’m glad I have taken lessons in
cooking. 1 can truly cook the most
toothsome dishes you ever ate.”
"My mouth waters now. I can smell
the hot dinner even at this distance.”
"It’s the clam chowder they are mak
ing up the beach that you smell.”
Helen jumped gayly to her feet. "Come,
let's run or they will eat all of it
before we get there."
Hand in hand (hey .an up the beaea.
laughing like children and joined the
rest of the party. After they had eaten
■ Robert whispered to her:
"There’s a boat ii. the cove; come
and have a row on the bay.”
“Take a good look at the ocean,
Nell, dear," Robert said after he had I
rowed out upon the bay, "you may not j
| see it again for a long time. .When |
! you are out in the mountains without [
! a sign of water except a little moan
I tain stream you will often think how :
the ocean looks t .-day.”
“Are not the mountains beautiful?’’ |
i Helen asked quickly,
i "Yes.” slowly; "at a distance (1. •
| ferent ranges are all shades ui
I from light, misty opal to dar:.. . - 1
I blue like tlie sky aliove us. An u,
j the sunrise in the mountains! As you
! watch, the sunlight leaps from peak
| to peak until the whole mountain
I crest glows. We can watch it together
i from our doorway, and afterwards 1 11
! help you get breakfast.”
"And I’ll do all my housework while j
f you are in the office, so when evening
, comes we can read and study to- :
j get her."
"You'll meet me at the door in the j
| evening. You’ll wear a red dress and i
white apron. Your cheeks will be rosy |
j from getting supper, and your iiair j
will be tumbled a little, just as it is !
now.”
She put up her hand to put back
some loose strands, but he stopped her.
"No. don't, please; 1 like your hair
that way. After supper I'm going to
help you wash dishes, then-”
“Wash dishes after working all day! j
Indeed you'll not. sir!” indignantly.
"You will sit and talk about what |
you’ve done during the day."
They laughed together, then grew |
sober. The same thought was in each •
mind: "It is only ‘make b-lie've.' ”
They did not go home until the sun 1
was very low. aud then they walked !
slowly and thoughtfully, the spell of
their “make believe” still ui>on them.
They reached Helen’s home, and
Robert stood still a: the foot of the
draught will always sweeten it. Good
bye.” He dropped her hands, but be
fore he could turn she had her arms
about his neck and was sobbing:
‘‘Hob! Dear old Bob! Take me with
you to the little cabin In the moun
tains.”
JAPANESE AS PAINTERS.
Framework of Their Designs Reflect
the Fundamental Principles
of True Art.
The Japanese, with their natural,
unsophisticated view of life, have ever
sought, in their art to mirror what a
great painter and critic has termed
“men's primordial predilections.” Art,
however, writes \V. M. Cabot, in At
lantic. that seeks to embody pleasures
founded on the unchanging pro|>erties
of human nature must have a past as
well as a future, must be able to look
backwards as well as forwards. Not
one life’s labor, but that of many gen
erations is required. No people nave
better understood this than the
Japanese. They have also clearly per
ceived that no art that is not true to
the changeless element in man can en
dure; while on the other hand any sub
ject. however trivial . can be made
eternally attractive, if only treated in
accordance with aesthetic law.
Japanese painting delights us by ita
delicate fancy, its poetry, its freedom,
its spirit; but what gives these quali
ties special and enduring charm, what
makes the play of fancy never weari
some. the liberty never mere license,
is that they find expression in and
through a framework of design so fine
ly conceived that in it we see reflect
ed as in a mirror the fundamental
principles which govern all true art
Telephone Under Water.
Under the provisions of a bill passed
by congress for the establishment of a
system of submarine signals along the
Atlantic coast for the prevention of
shipwrecks and for signaling to naval
vessels, a submarine telephone is being
tested at the Boston nav yyard. The
naval officers in charge of the experi
ments pronounced the invention to be
the most valuable aid to navigation
the world has yet seen.
