‘ CHAPTER ITI.
“You said yourself once that you would tackle any subject if you were allowed half an hour to read it up.”
“Certainly, but this is the one subject that you can’t read up. You can’t get it out of a book, because any book upon the subject would be out of date before it could be published.”’
*Can’t you get it out of other papers?”
“Even then you can’t be certain of being up to date. I tell you—and you can be lieve it or not, as you like—that the shape of a sleeve has been known to change completely in a single night. Of course, the other papers would give me the right vocabularly—words like ‘selvedge,’ and ‘ruching’ and things of that kind,”
*M’yes. They wculdn’t tell you what they meant.”’
“No. ‘There you are again; the thing’s too difficult.”
“Look here,” I said. ‘“‘you must know some good-natured woman of the world— one of the kind that likes young men—
one of the kind that believes that journal- ism is connected with authorship, and authorship is connected with romance. You had better go to her, tell her frankly what vour position is, and ask her—’

If I attempt this article at all, it will be to prove to the editor that I really am an all-round journalist, and you must understand that I don’t want it talked about.”
“Certainly. But if you’re going to writég@tue article, how do you propose to get your information?”
“Tean’t say exactly. I shall look in the windows of the big shops, and take netes

would tell me some-

sincerely sorry for you.”
He shook my hand warmly on leaving, and thanked me, “If anything should happen,’’ he said, hopelessly, “it will, at
any rate, be a consolation to me that I have had your sympathy. Good night.” He hadno sooner shut the door behind him than he opened it again and put his head in. “You don’t happen to kuow what & basque is, do you?” he asked ina melancholy voice. “No? Well, it doesn’t matter. It’s only one thing out of many. Good night again.” He looked very de- pressed, asifhe had some presentiment that he had undertaken atask beyond his powers, and evil would come of it,
Three times on the following day I saw Salemaker. The first time was in the morning, outside the law courts, He was walking very fast in the direction of the west, and seemed moreenergetic than on the previous day. He came up tome, and said at once in rather a peremptory way: “W hat’s accordion plaiting?”
I confessed that I didn’t know.
*That’s just like you,’ he said, impa- tiently, ‘You never do know anything. I can’t stop."
He hurried on. I noticed that he was earrying under his arm two or three of the feminine journals.
Later in the day I found him staring in- to the windows of a big shop in Regent street where they sold bonnets. As for his appearance, I can only say that he looked like a desperate man. “I am glad tosee you,” he said gloomily, “If you’d come a minute later, it would have been all over. I should have broken that window, thrown the bonnets and things into the street and trampled onthem. I have been thinking about doing it for the last five minutes.”
‘Look here, Salemaker,’’ I said, “you've been overworking yourself. You wouldn’t get yourself into this condition if you didn't take things so seriously,”
“Pll give you a sovereign,’”’ he replied, “to stick your foot through that window, Go on, do it. Nobody’s looking. I can’t do it myself, because it would injure the paper if I got into the police courts, You've got no position to speak of, and it wouldn’t matter if you did it. If you don’t want the sovereign, do it out of frieudship. There’s a hat af the back trimmed with two shoe buckles and a split hummuigbird. If I could tear that in half and threw it under an omnibus I should feel better.”
Control yourself,” I said, firmly. “I’m going to take you to the club and give you tea, and, so far as it is humanly possible, stop you from behaving like a lunatic. What have you been doing all day #”
*T have been collecting material for an article entitled; ‘The Height of Fashion,’ That’s what has brought metothis. You won't do this little thing* to oblige me ? Just what I thought. You call yourself a Bohemian, and as a matter of fact you’re eaten up with respectability.”
With some difieulty I persuaded him to come with me tothe club. There] gaye him tea and consolatory cigarettes, When he was a Jittle calmer I pressed him to tell me his experiences. He did do so, with some reluctance,
*T began,” he sald, “by going to Bond street, J found a window there with jyst the right kind of clothes in it, They were so ugly as to be almost indecent, That was why I knew they were all right; they couldn’t have been exhibited at all if they hadn't had style. They must have been simply saturated with style. Besides, Bond street’s always all right, anyhow. So I pulled out my note-boak, and it was just then I saw her with her green eyes fixed on me,”
“What her?”
“Miss Catling, Didn’t I mention it? J helleye she must haye been lying jn am- bush there. She saw, of course, what J was doing, saw it at aglance. I was do- ing her work. She just bowed, agd came at melike an angry cow. I took off my hat and walked quickly away, She pur sued. I auickened my pace, and got on ta

un omnibus Immediately msc & !? waited a few seconds, and then stepped off my "bus. So I got clear away.”
“But liow? When she saw you get off the one bus, why didn’t she get off the other, if she wanted to catch you?"
‘‘Because she had paid her penny and couldn’t bring herself to take less than the full pennyworth. Women mostly like value for their money. I had counted on that. As I say, I had got ciear off, - but I believe the incident spoilt my nerve. After that Thad no inteniion of gojmg any- where in particular, but I found myself in front of another big shop window in Ox- ford street. I pulled myself together. I decided to go in, say that I wanted the latest news about the fashions and offer in return for the information a gratuitous advertisement of the firm. Well, I went in. Inside there was a tall stately man. He smiled at me just as if he wanted to be a friend to me, and yet all the time his stateliness seented to be a kind of bar be- tween us.”’
Here Salemaker paused and buried his head iv bis handa.
CHAPTER IL.
Isaid: ‘What next?’
“IT lost my pluck suddenly. I tried te speak about Home Happiness, but 1 couldn’t. He asked me what he could have the pleasure of doing for me, and I stammered out something about elastic. It was the only thing I could think of. He took me up to a counter with a proud, beautiful girl behind it, and I said: ‘Elastic, please.’ The girl said: ‘How many yards would you require? I didn’t know anything about that, and so I said twopennyworth. Then I thought that seemed rather a poor thing to say to a girl in that position, and so I altered it to sixpennyworth. She said: ‘Certainly, and what kind of elas: tic?” How was I to know that there were two kinds of elastic ? However, I said: ‘The kind they use for catapults.’ She went behind asort of desk and stopped there patiently for some time. She may have gone there to laugh or she may not. After a few minutes she came back and re- marked: ‘Elastic you said, I think? Then she began to measure it out. I took it away in a whitey-brown paper parcel. and everybody stared at me. When I got outside the shop I threw the parcel down onthe pavement, in a fit of irritation, I
“THE KIND THEY USE FOR CATAPULTS.” suppose. A boy picked it up and handed it back tome again. Then I went on to the park. I thought I might make some note of the dresses there and also get rid of the parcel. I sat down on a chair, paid my penny and got out my note-book. I made notes of three dresses that I saw. These are the notes:
““No. 1. Black.
“‘No. 2. Akind of brown. Buttons on it.
“*No. 3. A sort of bluish. Looked asif it hurt.
“It struck me then that I was not get- ting enough detail. I had only jotted down the general effect. A woman was sitting opposite me with a good many things on; sol began to sketch them. I I was abscrbed in my sketching, but I remember that I did have a shadowy idea that the woman was beginning to look uneasy. Presently she got up. It was out of sheer absentmindedness (I was only thinking of the sketch) that I said to her:
Sit down again. I’ve not done with you yet.’ A policeman was passing near, and she went to speak to him.”
“Well?”
“Oh, I didn’t stop. There didn’t seem to be anything to stop for. I was out of the park and into a hansom before the woman had finished with the policeman, I told the man to drive fast to Charing Cross. In my hurry and confusion I had forgotten to leave the elastic behind me, and when I had paid the cabman I found that I was still grasping the parcel in my hand. That didn’t matter. I left the elastic in a flower-pot at a restaurant where I lunched,.”
“But this thirteenth column. have you done towards it?”’
“T’ve read the fashion papers, but that’s abont all. Since luncheon I’ve been doing

nothing but stare into shop windows, They muddied my head more than you can possibly understand, and they caused in addition a distinct amount of nervous irritatien. Perhaps you noticed it when you met me just now.”
“Look here,’ I said, “you’d better give up the whole thing. You can’t possibly do this column, and y@t'd better write to your editor and say so.”
He would not take my advice.
“A good all-round journalist can write an article on anything,” he said obstin- ately. “I’m going off to write my article now—this minute.”
“But do ve reasonable,” FE said. attempt the impossible?”
“It’s not impossible,” he answered, as he picked up his hat. “Observation is no good. I’ve found that out, Study is also no good. The male man can find out nothing about the female fash- ions mm those ways. But I have just thought of a third course—thought of it while I was talking to you—and I am now going to try it.” He puton hishat. “On the whole.” he added, “it js perhaps as

well that you refusea to smasn tnat win- dow forme. You may have been right; and I daresay I spoke too harshly when I said that you were respectable. I was much worried at the time, and you must make allowances. I shall bring you the article to look at to-night. Au revoir.”
He did bring me the article, and it was the last time that I ever saw Charles Backerton Salemaker. Possibly, as he said in a subsequent letter, I shall never see himagain. ‘That night he looked radi- aut, triumphant, happy in the pride of achievement. He brought with him sev- eral typewritten sheets. They were the article in question, which he had just completed.
“First of all,’’ be said, “let me explain the theory on which the article is written. The novelist works both from observation and imagination. He overhears some chance remark in the street, and from that with the help of imagination he con- structs a character—even an entire novel. I’ve worked on the same lines. I’ve taker. as my starting-point the little that I re member of the fashion papers and the shop windows, and I’ve allowed my imagina- tion to play all around it.”’
He began to read the first sheet, It was to the effect that the season would soon be at an end, and thatthe autumn would follow with its beautiful foliage, and sub sequently he and other high-bred English girls would give themselves up to a round of country-house visiting.
““That’s all very very well,” I observed, “but it’s not fashions.”
‘‘No; that’s the introduction.”
“Well, cut the introduction.”
He turned over a few sheets and read as follows:
““*In the meantime the park every Sun-
day looks very gay and smart. One of the |
best dressed women that I have seen there lately is unquestionably Lady B. She wore a coat and skirt of Irish guipure of a dull bronze color, with tabs of eau-de-nil silk bordered with passementerie. The same color was repeated in the accordion- plaiting on the pom-pom, and the whole was surmounted by a hat of vieux rose surah, trimmed withskunk.’ Whatdo you think of that?”
“I must confess that it sounds just like the reai thing.”
“Quite so. And it’s all imagination. Here’s another bit: ‘An equally tasteful confection was worn by a lady ofa rather more matronly type, The skirt, cnt after the present approved fashion, was of pe- tunia face cloth, shot with bombazine; this was suitably allied with a cape of Roman satin of asomewhat deeper tinge, edged with brown Siberian dachshund, and having a deep empire collar of amber velvet cut V-shape.”
I did not care to hear any more. I thought then, and still think, that it sounded all right. Apparently it was not all right, as the following extract from a letter I received from Salemaker two days later will show :
“You will never see me again. It is all over. The editor apparently showed my copy to lis wife, and has written to ask me what [ mean by sending a cowardly and offensive parody in place of the work that he ordered. He has told me to call and, if possible, explain. I shall not doso. I do not think that I can look him, or any- body else, in the face again. I feel that I am rightly punished for my presumption. It was wrong of me, in my pride in my own versatility, to have undertaken that thirteenth column. Everything is against me now. I went into a restaurant the other day, aud there was Miss Catling lurking behind some tea and a large bua. I dashed out, jumped on to a ’bus, and found that the woman whose clothes I had so mistakingly attempted to sketch in the park was sitting opposite to me. I can- not escape from my unspeakable shame. Fate reaches out a long arm of coincidence and collars me at every turn. That at- tempt to write the thirteenth column seems to have swelled up and filled my en- tire life. Before the sun has set I shall probably find myself in the same railway carriage with the proud girl who sold me somuch elastic. But I must risk that. England has become too small for ime, and I must go.”’
The remainder of the letter was purely personal. That week Home Happiness announced that its fashion article was un- avoidably crowded out, but would appear in the next number. There never was a next number. In the following week the whole of Home Happiness was crowded out, and it never appeared again.
Meanwhile the friends and relations of Charles Backerton Salemaker are getting very anxious, and any information as to his whereabouts would be thankfully re- ceived.
[THE END.}
This Comes From London, England.
Some time ago there was a dance in a Canadian settlement for the benefit of the settlers and their wives. Most of the mar- ried ladies had babies with them, whose noisy perversity required too much atten- tion to allow the ladies the full swing of their sonls’ pleasure in the dance. Soa number of young men present gallantly volunteered to watch over the refractory infants, so that their mothers could in- duige without let or hindrance in the aweets of the “light fantastic” exercise.
The gallant offer was readily and con- fidingly accepted, but no sooner had the women left their dear charges to the care of those mischievous young rascals than they commenced stufiing the infants, changing the clothing and giving one the apparel of another, till all were transmo- grified.
The dance and the music continued into the “‘wee sma, hours,” and then it was time to go home, The lights were lowered, and each mother hurriedly took a baby, in the dress of her own,and started for home, which, in many instances, was ten or fif- teen miles away.
The following morning there was a pro- digious row in the settlement. Mothers discovered what had occurred, and then commenced some of the tallest female pe- destrianfsm on record, Living as they did miles apart it required two full days ta unmix the babies and as many months to restore the mothers to their naturally sweet dispositions. Those young men
never venture into that settlement now.

Consider the Piana, —
When it is possible, in arranging your musig-room. always place the piano with its back to the room, not against the wall, as it isso frequently seen. It is the best arrangement both from a musical and from an artistic standpoint. As the plain, uncovered back of the piano is not usual- ly beautiful, one sees in different houses various graceful devices for hiding it. Sometimes it is a beautiful piece of paint- ed tapestry, a musical subject being the most appropriate. It is hung from the back by a brass rod. Scarfs of liberty satin or other beautiful pieces of rich and flex- ible silk are alao used, kept from slipping by two or three handsome ornaments, such as a pair of Florentine candelabra, a few framed photographs, or miniatures of musicians, or a bow] of flowers. Against such a Background a tea table is very ef- ae
