The Newest Parisian Heaclclress, e

Fsstensd in Pearls. _  ‘
By _Lady Duff-Gordon.
V HERE is a_n old Hindoo prov~
ii ' erb of which I often think
__ ._ when- I am designing some
' ` particularly delightful hat
for one of my clients. It hangs over
the fireplace in an old bazaar in
Delhi: 'Woman loses her soul when
she puts a hat on her head. For
this reason did Allah make her last." _
I, in common with most women,
have aften wondered why Allah
made woman last. lt has always
sssmsdto me that we misht just as
well have been made first, and that
man might better have been made
from our rib. But never have I
thoughtthat hats had anything to do
with the making of us, until I saw
that quaint motto.
» ln harklng back through ancient
ind modern history I can recall ln-
stances when woman lost her soul
when she put jewels on her body, but
never have I known of an instance
where the hat on one's head meant
the loss of one's soul. 'Hats ii.~.':e

'the world began. Good old Mother
Eve perhaps did- not had a hat 01”-

cause of these fascinating little at-
falrs, however, that I wandered so
far afield. In the world .ot fashion
hats as hats are not i._he"marl¢ ot
caste, nor of wealth either, but hats
as emotions are. There is as great

“ ALLO, Liz!" said a rough but
H lrlcndiy voice, "v/liat‘s up?"
.. Liz. Walker. who had
BIIBIIUY reeled. her face having
grown pale. caught hold of a chair.
righted herself, sat down, and in a
minute looked up at thc other girl
with a short laugh.
"N°thins. thanks," sm sam.
“Turned a. hit dissy, that's nil.
Enough to make one. this henstly
stutly shop."
"You're right," said ner companion,
ahrugging her shoulders. It’s a beast-
ly hole; but what's the uso? Once
out of a job. there you are. Might as
well atop there. Kentish Town is
had enough. I grant you. but I'vo
known worse places, I can tcll you."
The' two girls dusted tho shop and
littld was said, but as Liz was rear-
ranging the counter sho turned sud~
dcnly to hcr companion.
"I wish somebody 'ud leave mo
£203' she said.
The other girl laughed.
"Bo do 1" she said, "but what‘s tho
usa? 'Tain't likely to happen; and. be-
sides, wishes never come true. What
'ud you do, Liz, with twenty pounds
it you got it? Buy smart clothes?"
"Furniture," she said. and he-r
cheeks hushed pink.
"Good Lor‘l" cried the other. "Well,
you are a. queer 'un, that you arc.
Though. to be sure. when yo 're keep-
ing company I suppose it ‘lends to
reason you want to get married and
settle down.”
Lis nodded.
"I-Ialio. who'a this?" she cried. as rt
little. wlssned-looking old man stum-
bled into the shop and looked rather
despalringiy around with e dazed air.
He did not attempt to sit down, but

"Yes, slr." ahe said. smartly, “and

He came sharply to a standstill.
looked at her keenly. his dull eyes
brightened and as suddenly dimmed
again. Then he shook his head.
"No, no," he said, in I. weak. quav-
ering voice; "you won't do. No, not
at all. You won't do."
The girl laughed.
“Lor‘l" she laid; _"oh, L0l°‘l Jill!
listen to this. Lis. I-Isre's a nueer
little card. I believe he’s it hit oft
his head. What do you say?"
Lis cams forward. and the little
old man looked at her eagerly. sl
most lmploringly; then as suddenly
his (acc lit up.
"Ain" he sold, "you'll do. Maybe
you crm tell me. You look kind.
You‘ll help mc to find it again."
"Find what?" asked Liz. gently,
frownirlg at tho other girl. who wns
laughing in the background. "What
have you lost?"
"Myself," he said. simply. "I don't
know where 1 belong."
Hoedless of the other girl's jccrs.
Liz led thc old mon to a seat, where
he sank down wit-h n sigh and took
oft his hat. laying it on the floor bc-
sido him.
Lis took the old mon home. ln-

at Mrs. Blnns's, for which sho agreed
to pay three and slxpcnce tt week.

with a cup ot tm and to cook tho
simple food tho girl provided. At first
Jim, her fiance, was incllnod to resent
tho arrangement. Jim was of n frugal
disposition, and looked carefully at
ovcry penny he spent. and .ho was as
anxious as Liz for their marriage to
take plnco soon. But even Jim was
won over.
HE DISAPPEAIIS.
"Maybe it will be only for n few
days. till his memory comes hack."
said Lis hopefully. "lf we ict him no
to the workhouse. thcrds no telling
what would happen to him."
But in less than a week he disap-
peared.
A week later North London was

beries, which were carried out with

' "I can't turn him away, Mrs. Binns,

Mrs. Binns looked at him. Ha was

The girl thanked her, and Mrs.

She could do nothing to hinder him.
but when thc door closed shrugged
hor shoulders.
“0h, well, he‘ii come back," she
-said. and then her eyes fell upon a.
little brown paper parcel beside the
sofa on which she sat.
“Whnrs this?" she said. "I won-
dcr if it belongs to the old man."
But, picking lt up, she sa-w her own
name inscribed on tho inside. and the
Dmfllflire bore her address.
"\V0ll." sho said. “evidently it's
mount for mo. after all." and tore oft
thc pnpor wrnppcr. A small card-
board box was inside, and this was
cart-fully tied up with string and
scaled in several plnccg
"Dear mc.” she said. "It looks as
though Sf>m¢lh'1is’ ot importance was

Ilut as she opened tho lid and ,aw
tho contents she uttered a cry. The
hrx was full of banknotes. cnrcfully
folded. She took them out nnd
counted them. There was n hundred
and twenty rounds. ana beneath them
n folded scrap of paper. Opening this
shc rend:
"Here arc tho twenty pounds you
wished tor, and a little more. .Get
married as soon as you can. and be
as happy as you deserve.
\ "A WELL-VVISHER."
Their quiet wedding took place at
the parish church u. short time af-
terwards. but it was whllo thoy were
awny on their` honeymoon that tha
startling denouement took place. Ono
morning Jim had gone out as usual
to buy a paper, and Lis was singing
to herac" as she hovered about
the breakfast table. when she was
startled by Jim suddenly breaking in
upon her, nourishing the newspaper.
"I any. Liz." he cried. "tho mystery
is solved at last."
"What mystery?" she cried. "What-
ever do you mean, Jim?"
Laying the paper flat on tho table
he pointed to the portrait of an old
man.
“Seo that?" he cried. "Know who
that is Liu?"
She stared at it for a moment or
two in silence. `
"Lori" she chled, "why it's the poor
old man."
"Poor old mon be blovrodl" cried
Jim. "That'a Dotty Dick. the most
clever crook in London.
"And I thought him a poor man.”
snid Liz sadly. "Oh dear, what dl-
coivers men are, to be surs."'
Jim laughed.
"We're not all alike." ‘he said, "and
a very good thing too. lf you hadn‘t
took pity on him, thinking him a
poor, old chap. I daresay we shonldn‘t
have been married now."
"Then l‘m glad. Jim." she said: "all
the same. l‘m sorry he was a thief.
He seemed such n nice, quiet, harm-
less. sort ot an Aid man.”
