Other Support for Back.
Among the numerous nrtlllccs used

Itad few womon have enough to carry
pat tho coiffures hoisted on thorn by
pie hairdressers In tho past fow years
t the supporter designed by Wash
ington woman and shown herewith Is
bno of the most efficient. A wlro
Cranio has a crescent-shaped turn on
top and a projecting support at th
book, both covered with false hair,
kUco tho regulation "rat;" or holding a.
flne wire screen. The two are Joined
by two wires, "U-shaped. This sup
porter Is placed on the head when
the hair Is down, and, when the hair
Is done up tho pads underneath give
It the appearance of being much moro
bbundant than It really Is. There are
numerous devices to achieve this ef
fect, of course; but tho frame shown
here Is harder to detect than moat of
the others, and when the hair Is final
ly adjusted, with all the mllllon-odd
pins In place to hold It so, the union
of this type of front and back support

Our Women Perfume Experts.
American women are rogardod In
Franco, the home and centre of the
perfume Industry, as tho best Judges
of perfumes in the world, and It Is
chiefly to them that the French manu
facturers make acknowledgement for
expansion In their business in tho last
few yoars. Not even Frenchwomen,
It is said, are so quick to detect the
flne differences in blonds of essences
nor to appreciate the quality of a new
extract, and thus Amorlcans, besides
being liberal buyers, have enriched
the sclonco of scents by their demand
tor new and distinctive perfumes. It
la no rare thing for an American wom
an visiting Paris to order some novel
perfume to be blended expressly for
her, and, In order to maintain the dis
tinctiveness In which she finds so
much of Its charm, she usually adds
to the order tho condition that none
of her particular blond shall be put
on the general market or sold to any
one oxcopt herself for six months or a
year.
it is not fashion that changes, It Is
woman's taste. No woman will admit
that the satno style of dress can suit
her several years In succession.

Margery loaned heavily against tho
mantel, then slowly turned to mcot
Courtney's gaze. The barrier which
had been steadily rising out of tho
past seemed suddenly to loom her
vision with a new, moro acute import,
"1 enn't mnrry you," she said in a
low, stifled tone. "I must not"
Courtney smiled with n slow, steady
assurance. "Yet, Margery, you love
mo?" he Insisted gently.
Her eyes Hashed for a moment Into
a radlent glow, but darkened as she
uttered sharp, protesting cry. She
turned nnd paced tho room, her hands
knotted tightly In front of her.
"I had not Intended to speak of tho
past," she began brokenly. "It seemed
disloyal to him."
Courtney glanced at her with a
swift, anxious scrutiny, then smiled.
"The past, Margery? What could my
llttlo girl have done with n past?" She
choked back a sob nnd his face be
came Instantly grave. "Tell mo.Mar
gory," ho entreated. "It can make no
difference, but tell me."
Sho resumed her place near tho
mantel and bent forward until her
head rested against the marble. "My
father was a Btrango, morbid man,"
she began. "He spent many hours be
fore tho paintings of old masters and
dreamed their dreams anow, but art
became such a sacred thing to him
that ho would not allow himself to cre
ate until ho had studied It for 20
years. Ho blended wonderful masse3
of color, drew marvellous lines, but
to erase them. At length, when ho
permitted his visions to soar, he
worked for many days and nights
with a feverish zest upon a picture
which I have never seen. He dared
not trust himself to Judge It, fearing
that ho might see through the roso
glow of his dreams, so he carried the
canvas to a friend, a famous artist In
Italy, entreating him to form his Judg
ment only In a moment of leisure. Ho
trusted this man so entirely that with
an emotional Impulsiveness he begged
him to destroy the picture If ho found
It worthless. He did not hear from It
again. The artist soon left Italy and
we lost all trace of him. He brooded
and mourned as one who grieves for a
dead child. He believed his pic
ture to be worthless and that the
artist, obeying his wish, had destroyed
it. He flung his brushes Into tho flro
and then he drank." Her voice fal
tered nnd broke. "There remained no
semblance of the father whom we had
loved, until at last, crazed and Impo
tent, he Bhot a man " She stopped
abruptly with a sharp protesting ap- '
peal. "Could I be your wife?"
He stood before her, with clenched,
straining fingers, his face white and
pitiful; at lentth he moved to her side
and spoke with unutterable tender
ness. "Yes, Margery; yes, little one,
a rare, wonderful wife."
His words shook her as a tempest,
nnd she clung to him in a sudden
yielding, until with a sharp cry he
faced her, his eyes filled with horror.
"Was your father Richard Harmen?";
he demanded.
"Yes."
Hie hands fell loosely to his sides
and he seemed unable to face the out
look. He struggled against tho temp
tation to withhold the, truth from her,
and when he spoke his voice was
hoarse and hopeless.
"I was the artist in Italy, Margery;
your father brought me his picture
and I forgot It. I havu not taken It
from Its wrapper."
She caught her breath sharply,
then shrank from him In n bitter re
coil. "Where Is It now?" she demand
ed. His mind flashed back into tho past.
"In my desk," he responded dully. "I
was called suddenly away from Italy
and did not think of it again. I had
no means of knowing that he he was
your father."
They faced each other In an In
tense, brenthless silence. At last her
volco came, cold and hard:
"Go, and bring It to mo!"
Sho stood for a long tlmo where
ho had left her, her eyes staring to
ward tho door with a bright, unnatural
glitter. When Courtney at length re
entered the room, sho took tho pack
age from his hand and In silence broke
the string.
A warm, marvellous blending of coV
or flashed before their eyos, and thoy
stood gazing upon a picture which
held them for the moment spellbound.
Each knew that they beheld a master
piece. Margery's eyes remained fascinated
upon tho canvas; then suddenly sho
turned to Courtney with a swift, futllo
rage. "Ho trusted you with n won
derful thing like that," she, flashed out,
and you could forgot? Ills very life
hung upon your word. You aro you
are-
"Don't Bay It, Margery; yes, I know,
dear, but don't.'
Sho met tho pleading hopelessness
of his eyes and for an Instant her
own softened; but the memory of a
drawn, haggard face arose botweon
thorn and she shrank back. "I can
never see you again,"' sho said, in a
hard, strained voice; "I never want
to."
He moved unsteadily to tho door,
then paused nnd made a movement to
ward hor. "Margery!" he pleaded.
"If it had been worthloss you might
havo forgiven."
"But it wasn't," she sobbed; "It
wasn't You had broken n wonderful,
a sacred, trust"
Ho winced and turned again to the
door; ha closed it softly behind him
and then stood with his hoad bent
against it, as one who renounces all
that life had held. ADEI.A LOUISE

BY THEODORE L. CUYLER, D. D.
A lotter reached mo from n venera
ble lady whose llfe-clook has reached
today the high mark of eighty-eight.
She has buen for many years the In
mate of n charitable "Homo" for the
aged nnd the Impoverished a kindly
provided 'Snug Harbor" for thoso
whose fortunes havo been wrecked by
tho storms of ndverolty. This good
woman Is one of God's heiresses, and
Is getting part of her great, llihcrltanco
In this world; for, poor ns sho Is In
purse, she writes mo that sho Is dally
feeding on her While, and has Just
been reading a book of consolation
which "greatly Joyed her heart." No
letter of condolence for such n happy
soul as that; In God s sight she is one
of the richest women In that city.
"Tho Lord Is my portion," salth her
cheerful soul.
There nre plenty of earthly cisterns
that are being shattered, or are run
ning dry. The chief thing in the cis
tern was money, and that has leaked
away. The bags that hold a rich
man's money are "full of holes." Whllo
he Is sleeping, the lire may consume.
his warehouse, the gales may wreck
his ships, or his stocks and bonds may
be dwindling toward worthlcssness.
I once overtook and walked In a New
York street with a man who In former
days had been a Unanclal king; I talk
ed with him out of sheer compassion,
for he looked so lonesome nnd no
body noticed him. His sceptre had
been broken, and those who had court
ed him in his days of prosperity had
'cut" him In the Wintry days of his
adversity. His Investments had been
swept away; and that raises the vital
ly important question whether there
are not some Investments In this
world that we can make which are ab
solutely certain never to depreciate.
Yes, there are. The Illblo speaks
of them as the "portion of the souL"
It is an actual solid possession, and
It is one that meets tho soul's necessi
ties. That man or woman Is well off
who has what meets and satisfies his
or her real wants. Many of tho so
called "wants" nre really fictitious.
Dally bread is an actual necessity, and
Christ teaches us to pray for that;
but a sumptuous dinner is a luxury.
It la not really necessary for anyone's
health or happiness of heart that he
should have a handsome house, or a
large bank account, or n. luxurious
table, or high social rank, or any of
those things "for which tho Gentiles
seek." There are certain possessions,
however, that are Indispensable to
our happiness; they are peace of mind,
a clear conscience, the forgiveness of
our sins, the favor of God, tho chance
to be more or less useful, and that
Infinite wealth that Is summed up In
having Jesus Christ In our souls.
Moro than one person who Is under
the harrow of pecuniary anxiety or
some other sharp affliction will read
this article, and say, "Well, I wish I
could feel as contented as that cheer
ful old lady In that charity 'home.'
Her fortune has been lost, and yet
she Is rich; her kindred are gone, and
yet she Is not lonely." My friend,
Just Inventory the good things that
you may have If you will seek for
them In the right place and In the
right way.
The value of a bank noto depends
on the assets of the bank; and tho
value of God's promises depends on
the resources of His power and bound
less love. My friend, Just open your
casket, and, read such promises as
the3e; "No good thing will He with
hold from them that walk uprightly."
"I will never forsako thee." "My
grace shall be sulllciont for thee." God
never defaults In His promises. Do
you crave friendship? Then find a
Friend who "stlcketh closer than a
brother." Are you lonesome? Listen
to that sweet volco, "Lo, I am with you
always." Aro you often distracted
with worries? Cast your cares on
Him; He carcth for you. Just think
who It Is that says. "My peaco give I
unto thee." Do you crave a full as
surance that all Is well with you?
Then practlco the faith of adherence
to Christ. Remember that faith Is
tho milk, and assurance Is tho cream
that rises on It; If your milk Is hnlf
wator, you cannot expect much cream.
When Income ruim down low, Invest
more in kind deeds to other peoploi
that pays solid comfort Is your heart
aching at tho sight of that empty
crib, or of that empty chair at your
plain table? Then don't lot your grief
stagnate. The saddost thing about
grief Is thnt it tends to mako us brood
nnd grow selllsh. Woalth or poverty,
cheerfulness or discontent, sunshine
or darkneBS depend on our own hearts
With Jesus Christ securely thero, you
are rich. That cheerful letter that In
spires this article was written by nn
nged bund In the "Louise Home" In a
certain city. Methlnks tho dear Mj
ter was, whispering to her, ns He 'S
to all of us who trust Him, "A If -
while, and ye shall see Mo; I go to
prepare a place for you, nnd will come
again nnd receive you unto Mysolf."
8tand Alone.
There are times In a missionary's
life when tho sense of loneliness, tho
keen waut of human sympathy, cuts'
homo like a bleak and bitter cast
wind; and to learn to stand alone In
any course of duty or suffering Is a
great lesson. Dnvld Hill.

By means of this extra roller a
skater can -stop quickly by bending
ono foot forward in such a manner
as to act as a brako, the fifth roller
rotating and saving him from a stop
so sudden as to unsettle his equili
brium. At the samo time It saves the
floor. Fancy skaters will find this de
vice a great advantage, as It will en
able them to pirouette about on their
toes and cut all sorts of elaborate fig
