In the long winter evenings the only light in the house would be from the dancing flames. A bit of wall was built ou! on one side of the fireplace, so that it cut off all cold draughts from the door, and made a warm cosy corner Ly the fire. A soft old bearskin lay in front, and on this would sit a circle of men and women, boys and girls, chatt ng and laughing, and telling stor- jes. They were a very gay, lighthearted bappy reople, and the o'd people told irnumerable slories of the old days, when the animals talked and acted like fuman beings, and when there were , | svitches and demons and goblins of all kinds about. Juan always remembered those stories told in front of the fire in the winler evenimgs. But the greatest excitement in the pueblo would come when there was to be a dance. The Indians were busy getting ready for it for days before- It was not like a while man's dance, merely for social pleasure, In- dian dances are all a part of their old religion, pructiged ages before the white man came, and the Indian uses them something as a white man does prayer. If it is very dry and (hey need rain for 2 | their crops, they will have a rain dance, which js a prayer for rain. When they plant the corn, they hold the corn dance, which is a prayer for a good crop. In January they always had a tuffalo dance in Juan's pueblo. This used to be a prayer for good luck when they slarted on their annual buf- {alo hunt. There are no buffalo now, ut they still dance the old dance. There are many peculiar figures in the buffa'™ dance of which no while nan understands the exact meaning. Two little boys take a prominent part in it, and one year Juan was highly excited when he was chosen for one of them. Long before he had learned the In- dian dance steps, his father taking him inic a quiet corner behind the houses and teaching him with great care. For the first time now he was taken with the men into the sdcret rooms where they practiced for the dances.

An English Vicar Taken Unwillingly on Long Voyage. After a voyage of 6,000 miles, as the result of a moment's carclessness, and after a visit to South America lasting just {wo hours, a Buckinghamshire vi- car, the Rev. R. F. Ashley Spencer, of Tylers Green, has returned to Liverpool. Mr. Spencer landed at Maderia on February 21 last for a month's rest and change. On February 26 he went on bcard the liner Araguaya to see a friend. Engrossed in conversation, he paid no heed to warning cries and the raising of the anchor, and was sudden- !y alarmed by the throbbing of the screw. He rushed to (he vessel's side lo find that she was already moving, and thal it was impossible lo gel ashore. Vainly protesting, and fearing, as he remarked to a Lisbon correspondent a few days ago, that the worst construc- tions might be placed upon his disap- pearance, he was borne to Permambu- co, in Brazil, without being able to send any message to his friends or relatives. The voyage lasted eight days, officers and passengers doing their beshto s0- lace him and to provide him with cldtnes; 'of which he was, of curse, in Reaching Pernambuco he instantly cabled home, reporting hs misadv 1ittle antelope tail. ) Tre dancing kept up at in'ervals, all Ay and almost all night.

At Bahia Le found time to go ashore, and had precisely two hours in which to explore the continent of South America before the Thames sailed. He returned in that vessel to Lisbon and from that cily took passage to Liverpool. UNPARDONABLE. Mrs. Droppyn--Il's a wonder your kitchen girl doesn't insist on using the piano.

For a while milady wore «nly plain lisle (hread; then she gradu- ally began to wear gauzy silken hoss, and it was not very long before lace ones appeared. Having gone through all the styles in texture, it was then necessary to change the color of the slock ngs, and she tegan lo wear stockings to malch her dress, with shoes of an enlircly different color-- which was not partcularly attractive. The latest idea is to wear silk stock- ings to match the costume, wi'h shoes to match the stockings or of the con- ventional patent leather. Fliwers are more the rage than ever, whether real or artific al, and they are worn in bunches on the blouses ar tucked in (he bultonhole of the jacket. Cf course. now that Dame Fashion hes decreed that one may wear silken flow- urs as well as those created by Mother Nature, it is not particularly exrensive tc keep on hand a stock of orchids, gardenias, azaleas and poinseltias, and these are the ones that arc most p pu- lar. When natural flowers can be worn they are, of course, preferable. but the im tations are now :0 perfe-t thal very litte difference can be noticed unless the del'clous fr:grance is missed. This is somet.mes supplied by a good per- fume. Strange (0 suy, this spring many women arc wearing aulumn leaves in- slead of flowers, which really does seem sligh!ly out of season. The very lalest vells imported from dear Paris are shaped so that they are quite long over the [ ¢: and become very morrow as they near the sides, so that they are casily lied or pinned, while the long ends are wde. These are made wth huge chenille dois and come in every color of the rainbow; sometimes they are edged with little ruchings of real lace. Needless to say, their price is fabukus. A charm ng ncvelly in veils is one having a pattern made of narrow baby ribton or tny soutache brad. This sounds almost opaque, but perhaps when skllfuly ar ranged it is not diflicull to see through. Narrower skirts are undoubtedly the rage, and Pars sends word thal sone sk Its measure only two yards around. One skirt was arranged so that in {rent there were two lec Ts to ke tel round the ankles. This sounds very ullra; such skimpy garments could b> become ing only to graceiul and youthful fig- ures. The new sl perfumes are pul up in tiny tottles of most artstic shape. and th'n a real flower is inclos'd in the Tolt'e, whith indicates (he origin of the pefume. They are very attractive and particularly so when the bhotlle clams a wht» rose. as th» alcohol mm the perfume keeps it in perfect cone dition, while the graceful vial serves lo frame it in a very attractive way. These dainty novellies cost large sums o' money. but if one knows which per- fume has been adopted by a dear friend or if one has the discrimination lo se- leet the correct one, there is no doubt that these charming little bottles make very allractive gifls. The newest color shown in the ad- vanced styles for spring is called mul berry. This seems to be a cross be tween crushed strawberry and raspber- ry. and it is just near enough to old rose lo be becoming to a'most any com- plexion. The nest charming linen suits are made in this coker. the white culls and yoke « ftening the lone where il comes near the face. Many «f hese dresses are trimmed with white cotton or soutache braid in all sorts of intri- cale designs. } The new mirage silk also comes in this color and makes a most fascinating material for house dresses and dancing frocks for young girls. In making up a black spangled robe over a ruflie of plaited chiffon it is a clever tlea lo connect the two by sew- ing to the rufe at regular intervals big disks of black velvet. } The<e may be cut out, leaving the edges raw, for (hey will not fray. and they relieve the dead whileness of the ruffle in contrast with the black above and make a connecting link between the {wo materials. ) The handsomest anl mast expensive of the still collars have Irish lace in: sertion used in a sort of conventional design. While these collars may be very beaulifil, they are less salisfac- tory than are the hand embroidered collars, for the lace will not hold the starch and constant washing soon tears the fragile material. --_-- HOME CURES.
