' There coarses a moment in a dance', when one has really had enough of i it, Such a moment occurred one night at about two o'clock, in the middle of the ball which the Marchioness of Drimning was giving for her daugh- ter, Adeline. Drimning House is very large, occupying as it does the site of four houses in Curzon Street. But l the acquaintanceship ;of the march- ioness would 'have been better suited by the Albert Hall; not only had she asked everybody she had ever known, but a number of smaller dances, in the course of the night, removed themselves to Drimning House, while thirty or forty of the guests brought' with them the reinforcement of the t complete dinner parties they had at- tended that night. Thus the ball was pandemonium. Thingg,• went pretty well up to midnight, but then the clot- ting increased. At first there was little room to go -forward; then we grew reduced to turning round and round on the same spot; just before two o'clock; when I was partnering Lady Adeline, even this movement be- came impossible, and the ban re- solved itself into one vast throb un - 'dee intense heat. We tried to step I to the fashionable "Waltz Me to Dreamland," but at last Lady Ade- line informed me that she felt faint, which was not remarkable, and I fought my way in football style through black coats and low-cut frocks, destroying as I went, many yards of georgette and charmeuse. Fortunately somebody else was en- titled to Lady Adeline; at least he said so,, for I will wager that no one could hear the band through the noise eight hundred people were mak want a little house, with a tiny sing- ing garden— A tiny singing garden near the ea11- ing of the sea; want a little white house, with slen- der vines upon it; I want a joyous garden where my love will walk with me. want a little house 'with a welcoming, worn doorsnl; I want a little house with a.knocker on the door; want the eorners of It to be all alive with laughter; I want the sound of dancing to echo from the floor. want a porch that faces toward the crimson of the sunset;.

I want a little house with a tiny sing- ing garden, A little house -.where peace shall dwell, and deep content and mirth; I want a little white house, with green vines growing on it, I want that little house to be the happiest on earth! --Margaret E. Sangster. Not to 1MMention An Arm. RED BROCADE the night ladies in flame -sabred bra cede playing with fox terriers in Cur- zon Street. "Spot!" said the woman, desperate- ly, "Jack, Jim, come here. Colne here, doggie .. oh, you devil." I smiled, for now the fox terrier, some little way off, was sitting down, wagging its tail vigorously; he had something in his mouth. The woman. seemed in despair. She made t help- less movement with her hands. Evi- dently she wanted to catch the dog; evidently, too, I must help her. I step- ped out of the archway, and, as I so did, pausing uncertainly, she turned to me and said, "Oh, there you are, No. 5 . i mean No. 9. Do help me to catch this dog." I came for- ward, going toward the dog. No, 9? Why did she call me No. 9? She must have expected me at this very spot. Meanwhile, I made attractive, noises to the dog, who promptly danced about, full of excitement, mak- ing circles round both of us: "Why!" I cried, "he's got a slipper in his mouth." `c0f course he's got a slipper. It's my slipper, It dropped off as I got out of the taxi, and this . this this dog picked it up. And he won't give it me back." I strove to interest the dog, who joined in the game with enthusiasm. Meanwhile my mind was working; she had made a slip; she had called me No. 5, and only after that No. 9. Th, t was because No. 5 was occupy- ing her brain. She must be No. 5. Anyhow, I'd risk it. It wouldn't do any harm. So I said: "It was care- less of you, No. 5." "I know it was," she said angrily. t They were strange, foreign -looking men, in ready-made clothes. ing. I caught a glimpse of the march- ioness, blockaded for the night in a corner; one of the tables of the buffet ;was upset with a crash by a rush of people wanting champagne. Tremb- ling with exhaustion I found myself in the hall, readjusted niy -tie, and swore to myself that I would get out of this .. . I could now hear the jerky one- ; step "Chop -chop Chinaman." As still more people were coming in, and as nobody was going out, I obtained "Funny when a girl's cold and you my coat With ease, and paused just offer her a coat how quickly she warms outside, against the railings, enjoying up with"— "Yee?"

The girl asked why she had not seen me before and supposed I had drawn the lot by proxy. Mean- while, after throwing a glance of disappointment because we would not go on with the game, the fox ter- rier had now settled a little way off; far from Ieaving the slipper, he was beginning to eat it. Then I did a silly thing. Hoping to catch the dog :unawares, I shouted and leapt to- , ward him. He started up, alas, taking up the slipper. Nimbiy dodging me, he bolted, into the archway. I ran into Shepherd's Market, the woman limping behind me. For one moment I thought I had caught the creature, for T touched him, but he rushed be- tween my legs, then into_, a corner where he left me, for when I turned he had disappeared. Then, in the distance, we heard a clock strike the half hour„ The woman made a des-' perste gesture: "Too late! We can't go after him now." I was just going to suggest finding her a taxi 'to drive her home, forget- ting the peculiarities of the case, when from the four corners of Shep- herd's Market, detached themselves men. They were strange, foreign- looking men, in ready-made clothes, except one, who, like ourselves, was dressed in fashionable garb; When they were quite close, the woman in a low tone remarked: "No. 5." The men were staring at me. So, determined to see this to the end, I murmured: "No. 9." "Right," said one of the men in a low tone."Now, do , you mind." I found'that a bandage was being Slip- ped over my eyes, but as I had had time to see another handkerchief be- ing ;made e-ing'inade ready to blindfold my com- panion, I did not resist, Besides, the man in evening clothes .volunteered an explanation in the shape of a question: '1 suppose your committee always blindfolds friends from an- other district:" "Oh, always," said Nnanber .5, sav- ing the a reply. We were walking on ; meanwhile the man in evening clothes talked a little in a low tone:"It's quite as well, you see.. Like that, if one com- mittee gets caught, the others don't get taken also. Besides, we haven't far to go," Where we went I still do not know, for our guards followed a cleverly circuitous route, turning us; round rapidly, diving into corners and conning out. Perhaps we went three hundred yards, perhaps fifty, Finally. I found myself being led into a Bouse, , The door closedbehind mc; my band, age was taken off.

EL LIOT3r YONQE AND ALEXANDER ST. TORONTO WATER COLOR AT BERMUDA It was years before, that the young people of the Par,So'nage, who were from Nova Scotia, had asked fine if I noticed any difference in the sky in Bermuda from that at the north—that the colors are seldom brilliant but of beautiful tints. . . Such shales of gray and purple! The clear blue of the sky, and the variety of soft colors are almost as frequently commented upon by visitors as the weather is everywhere. . The bright moonlight . . . often dims the stars in Bermuda, like the harvest moon of September and Oc- tober in the northern latitudes. . . Two pictures come to my mind. One of the new moon with a golden tinge, and the stars all like gems in a silvery blue setting; the other of the nights like those Dr. Thompson describes in Palestine, "when one seems to look quite to the bottom of heaven's pro- foundest azure where the everlasting stars abide!" There may be times in Bermuda when the southern coloring is absent from sea 'and sky. . . . One must search far indeed to find such colors in the water as those that can be seen at Bermuda. These little islands are only a part of our beautiful world.. There are other hills and valleys, . . there are other skies more attractive when taken alone. . . . But the waters of the Atlantic, as they sur- round Bermuda and fill its bays and harbors, are almost matchless in bril- llan•cy and change of color, both in sunshine and cloudy weather. When calm they are beautiful, but when the wind plays upon them, or the storm tosses them about, they are grandly so. To watch them is to be fascinated. At times the change reminds one of the kaleidoscope, at others the change of color and the play of light .all sug- gest the purest ;,•ems. I had watched the sea andeth•e sky until 1 thought I knew that a blue sky is not always reflected in the water, and that sometimes when the water is very blue, the sky is quite gray. One morning I stood on the wharf where the water in the harbor seemed as if part of the cloudless firmament. Of a companion, I asked, "Why is the water so blue?" ."It is the reflection of the shy," was the answer... , Sometime afterward. . . the colors in sea and sky were being discussed by . . . 'artiste; . . , anumber of men and women of mature years, wild' had studied and traveled, when . . , f cue remarked. "How strange it that the color of the water is so bright,) when the sky es dual. All eyes looked at a pale aky, with scarcely a tinge of blue, and at the water, to find it a mar% velour blue. The eldest of the party, said, "The color is in that water." . Charles Dudley Warner wrote, "The blue reminds, the traveler of the Medi terranean when the Mediterranean Is at its beet" Many have longed for the genius of an artist to .respresent a sea, and sky, that charms. . . . Water -colors may bring out the soft tints. 011-ealore may add finish. But , . . where is the sparkle? With perfect eye and: perfect coloring the power is needed to: enamel the land and to give to sea and! sky, the shimmer of silk, the silver) sheen of the moon, the finish of the pearly shell or the glisten of the gem. . . One. would wish to write Shake- speare's little song: Come into these yellow sands, And then takehanda; Court'sied when yotrrhave and kissed,—' The wild waves whist:— Foot it featly here and there; And sweet sprites the burden bear. —Eulrhemia Young Bell, in "Beautiful Bermuda."'
