simply that We men have taken up this
subject OF woman'B dress. and, where late
reigned fantastic and savage effects, We
now find delightful harmony. There is
genuine elOquence in one Of those COS
tumes!"
But not until woman gets inside OF
it, was my quiet reply.
While We were standing there, Miss
Van D. went by, looking FOX all the
world like an angel, so light and airy was
her toilet. She was clad In a baptiste Of
ecrU ground sprinkled over with white
hOWerets, waist and skirt in ore piece,
the latter being in fourrsau style, drapsd
at the back with few folds on the hips,
the waist being inclosed in q three
pointed cOrselet, which in the back
reached up to and outlined the shoulders
en- figaro, the pointed effects reappearing
also on the bouGant sleeves at the shout
ders, the collar being straight ana the
cuffs tight. The hat that accompanied
this faiFy-1ike costume was q fancy straw
capeline, wound around with large
scarf Of ecru crepe falling down ut the
back and encircling the neck a large
black aigrette caught up the crepe in
front in & bunch. while huge tuIle ruch-
ing streamed out gracefully, follow me-

The second illustration conveys q very

sisting of a pale mauve brOche silk with

her who was the mistress and queen of it
ali. he saw her supple and proud step;
he heard her grave and musical voice; he
felt her breath
He was not positively in love; but his
Imagination had reused itself all in
famed, before this beautiful, living, and
palpitating statue. She WAS really for
him more than q Woman-more than a
mortal. The antique fables of smorOus
gOddesses and intoxicated Bacchantes,
the superhuman vOluptuOusness unknown
IN terrestrial pleasures, were in the reach
Of his hand, separated from him only bv
the shadow Of this sleeping old man. But
this shadow was ever between them-it
was honor.
His eyes, as if lost in thought, we're
fixed straight before him on the curtain
which was opposite the chimney
All at once this curtain was noiselessIy
raised, and Cora presented herself under
the pile of curtains, her brow surm ounted
with her rich couture.
She threw q rapid glance over the room,
and after moments pause let the curtain
fall gently, and advanced directly toward
Eugene, who stood stupehed and immOV-
able.
She took both his hands, without
speaking, looked at him steadily, throw
ing a rapid glance on her husband, who
still slept, and, standing on tiptOe, offered
her lips to the young mal&

else, he stopped down and imprinted a
kiss on her lips.
At that very moment her husband made
a sudden movement and walked up;
but the same instant she was standing
before him, her hands resting on little
card table, and smiling upon him, she
said:
@Good-morning, my dear!"
He murmured a few words of apology,
but she Iaughingly pushed him back on
the divan.
Continue your nap, she said. 1t have
come in search of Eugene. I want him
to conduct a little party through the gar
den"
Her husband obeyed.
She passed out through the hall. The
young man, pale as a specter, followed
her.
Passing under the outer curtain, she
turned toward him with a wild light burn
ing in her eyes. Then, before she was
lost in the crowd, she whispered, in a
low, thrilling voice:
There is the crime?"

CHAPTER XIII.
AT THE oPERA-rHE FATAL KISS.

AT THE OPERATIVE FATAL KISS.
On reaching the counting-room at the
publishing house, Eugene found himself
in no mood to work.
His mind was eternally dwelling upon
Cora Elliston.
who is this woman and what does she
want of me2 Is it love or vengeance
which inspires her with this fendish
coquetry2"
These were the questions he asked
himself.
But whatever it was, Eugene was not
such a novice as not to perceive clearly
the yawning abyss under the broken ice.
He resolved sincerely to rectOse 1t
again between them forever.
The best way to succeed in this, avOW-
eddy, was to cease all intercourse with
clara.
But how could such conduct be explained
to his uncle without aWaking his sUs-
picion and lowering his wife in his es-
TEEN?
So this was impossible.
He armed himself with all his courage,
and resigned himself to endure with reso-
lutte soul all the trials which the love,
real or pretended, of the siren reserved
for him.
Some little time before this his name
had been proposed in body of q certain
/ powerful secret organization which had
/ for one OF its prominent objects the
] maintenance among its members Of all
/ the fixed points of honor in their strict
/ est form.
Indeed, the members bound themselves
/ to observe, in their reciprocal relation,
[ the rules Of the purest honor. These
rules were specified in their code.

for initiation
He presented himself, was received in
due form, and was astonished to ind in

as not to interfere with the delicate aroma
of the berries. Each guest receives one
of these delicious bouquets, which he or
she holds in the left hand, while with the
right the berries are broken OF one by

dipped into powdered sugar and then
conveyed to the mouth. It's immense-
to look at! But strange to say, by one
of those delightful Whims of Queen
Fashion, although flowers are hung, ter
raced and pyramlded everywhere you
maFn't wear them in your hair. The
sole ornaments allowed the soft, fluffy,

natural ornament when 1t is arranged in a

not blessed with a thick growth the
coiffsurs have designed some dainty
fringes quite imperceptible to the or

If our workmen continue intheir present
and ever increasing demand for more
wages a nd less hours of work, the dream
of a certain philosopher Of old who divided
the twenty-four hours into three equal
parts, to wit: eight hours for work. eight
hours for recreation and eight hours fer
sleep, will soon come TO be realized.
Whether this will be for the better or
worse, time alone will prove. In Bridge
ton we see the carpenters lave asked that
nine hours be a full days work, after a
date fixed upon early next year, and also
ask foI higher wages, which will increase
the cost of building, as far as carpenter
work is concerned, to about the half OF a
dollar per day on each man employed.
This of course will to that extent increase
tho cost of building and make improve
ments that much higherin price. Whether
this will have an effect on the building
boom down that way can better be told
after the season opens and the regulation
goes into effect.

We think the Farmers Alliance makes
a mistake in demanding the abolition of
the national banks. Anyone who is old
enough to remember the endless trouble
and uncertainty attending the circulation
of the old state banks and how one was
obliged literally to change and receive
bank bills with a counterfeit detector in
hand, will be all the more ready to appre-
ciate the wonderful genius of Salmon p.
Chase in giving us the best banking system
the world ever saw.
We think they mistake again in asking
the government to take charge of our rail
roads and telegraph system, ard the gov
eminent to provide a plan whereby farm
ers may mortgage their crops to the gov
eminent for two per cent. If we should
permit this kind of paternal tinkering we
might come to the conclusion, some OF
these days, that we had altogether too
much government interference to be
pleasant.
We think it mistakes once more in the
insistanee of a free and unlimited coinage
of silver, for reasons which would require
too much time in explaining, and which in
fact are already very we'll understood by
the people. We hope the farmers all the
good luck they can possibly have. but
don't want them to destroythemselves and
the rest OF us in the acquisition Oft.
