“Cummy”

(By One Who Knew Her)

“Cummy” was the endearing title applied to Alison Cunningham, his devoted nurse, by Robert Louis Stevenson, from infancy until the end of his life. To her he affection- ately inscribed “The Child's Garden of Verse.“ The dedicatory lines may be recalled.

woman of thirty was engaged for him, and she stnvivcd him by about nineteen years. The delicacy of the child's mother and the many ail- ments of the child himself necessi- tated her unremitting carc. She proved an ideal nurse, and. the world owes her a debt of gratitude for what she did for Stevenson. Alike as boy and man, R. L. S. ack- nowledged lavishly his obligation. At the age of sixteen-long before his name was known in the literary world-he wrote: ‘Do not suppose, Cummy, that I shall ever forget those long bitter nights when I coughed" and coughed and was so unhappy, and you were so patient with a poor sick child. Indeed, Cummy, I wish I might become a man worth talking of, if it were only that you might not have ,thrown away your pains.’

When Stevenson needed his nurse no longer, she was pensioncd by Mr. Thomas Stevenson, the novelists father; but she never ceased to be a member of the family. Not only were her master and mistress grate- ful for he" loving care of their only

pily not fulfilled in her case. From’ Stevenson's widow, long resident int California, Cummy always received

lnost delicately thoughtful kindness. Mrs. Stevenson often wrote to her, and amply supplemented the origin- al pension settled on her by the nov- elist‘s father. Only a few months before Cummy died-in her ninety- second year-Mrs. Stevenson cordi- ally agreed to make a small annual payment in order to add to the ven- erable nurse's happiness, on condi- tion that the recipient should not know about it. The accident, which brought about Sammy's death was a fall, by which she fractured a thigh bone. During her residence in Morning- sidc, Edinburgh, her house was a frequent place of call for admirers of Stevenson from all parts of the world. Letters used to reuch Cummy from foreign quarters. She_by no means suffered fools gladly, how- ever, and sometimes she dismissed them with curt rcjoindcrs. One vis- itor from America was thus extin- guished. He had asked: "What kind of a boy was Louis?" “He was just like other bairns-whiles very naughty." The old woman would tell how her “dear laddie" would

PARIS, Aug. 21.—(U.P.)v—Ever since last winter important couturi- ers in Paris have been sorting out ihc seeds of past generations of styles and reviewing them as a gen- eral does his troops, to select those deserving special mention and sub- sequent promotion.

Each dressmakcr has taken sev- oral cuttings and sprouts from old bulbs in the fashion greenhouse, crossed them, grafted nere and ehcre, and then buried their experi- ments of the soil of their imagin- ations for gestation They were not sure of the exact restilts, but they knew that there would be need of trimming and further cultivation before the final blooms.

All this has been going cn dur- ing the spring and summer, and now the final flower show is on. Instead of the public coming to view the floral winners in stationary at- my, the audience is seated in the theater oi each fashion salon and before it passes the finished pro- ducts of this early planting of ideas. This year rumors have been ram- nant on the Paris boulevards. There have been tales of the bustle, the hoop-skirt, leg c’ mutton sleeves, lace pantaioons and the rest oi the contents of grandmas trunk. Whose fault?

One Yteb frock depends entirely upon a single strand of beads, short and small, to hold up a. peach col- ored evening gown both back and front. This leaves the shoulders en- tirely exposed—a dress for the dar- ing of all ages With this bodice of sophistication is combined the naiv- ety of an old-fashioned skirt that puts one in a qlanda y.

Chantal came on the fashion stage with almost a defiance to the rumors of an 1830 to .870 revival. They clung to their last season lines and lengths and many of the mo- tcrials, especially trieots and tweeds, satins and silks. Not more than three or four models even hinted at anything in the past,‘ and these probably were for the sake oi allow- ing the public that if ‘it wanted such models they could Ie had, but that they were not the staunchest pro- moters oi them.

Summing it up, the Chantal col- lection emphasizes the normal waistline, and follows the low calf length skirt for daytime, with it dropping to the instep and floor for evening.

S. Delhi. Mr. Ben Acorn was heard with much pleasure in the solo "Thanks be to God." ‘This service was broadcast by CHCK. In the evening, Rev. lvfr.

This was a beautiful and gracious pro- mise by the Prophet Hosea and t0- day God's grace and life giving pow- er will come as the dew to those who realize their sin and are truly repentent and will turn from their sin to God.

TO SALVAGE

SUNKEN SUBMARINES

BTOCKHOLM, Aug. 23. (By the Canadian Presto-A Swedish civil engineer, Ragnar Blomquist, has patented a device for the salvaging of sunken submarines and their crews. The device consists oi a number of folding pontoons built into the hulk of the submarine and always ready for use. Being fold- able they take a very small space and can be mechanically filled with air through a pneumatic device operated from the inside of the ship itself.

when completely filled with air they increase the displacement of the submarine very considerably and are claimed to be abls to raise it to the surface. The pontoons are extremely light in weight, and, be- ing many in number, a few oi them

Lobster Season Open ed With 20,000 Lb. Catch

The fall lobster season which op- ened last week promises to result in one of the heaviest catches in years. At Sununersi‘ there are thirty-seven boats in the Strait and on the ﬁrst day's ﬁshing their combined catch totalled 20,000 pounds. 1c is estimated that tuu number will increase.

The market at present is thought to be fairly firm, but with the large catches of the lobsters it will probably weaken, Mr. Andre Paturel, the largest independent packer and shipper on the ‘Island states. There is danger of flood- ing the Upper canadian and Un- lied States markets. If this hap- pens, then the price will surely go down.
