corduroy, with long basque bodice
fitted at the back without seams. This,
by the way, is a fashion suitable only
to slender figure, as it makes the back

crease in interest and in novelty.
Mother of pearl and copper are becom-

mixture of gold and silver. Canoes are
being called in in numbers, and fine
engraved Japanese ivory is combined
with carved wood most artistically.
Black and white grapes and fruits and
flowers in natural colors are less de-
sirable parasol appendages- They hang
by ribbons to the handles and often
suggest that lunch would better have
been eaten at home. ELLEN OSBORN.

long corridor, and met the countess
coming out of her husbands room.
She asked me If he were still in the

negative she looked searchingly at me.
HE apologized to you, did he not?"
asked she.
Certainly, countess; it was only
momentary irritation. We parted quite

For q second thought of knocking at

In the salon they were again strum-

against one of the columns Lapotin,
taking leave of a slender, darlkly-habit-

and just as he began to descend the
steps he was attacked by a spell o.
coaghing so severe that he was obliged
to lean against the cold stone pillars
for support.
In a iiffy was with him.
"For Gods sake, you must not stand
here in this draught; lean heavily or
me-" said I to him softly, and led him tc
the shop where 1 had just made my
purchases. When he had somewhat re

little about the man to whom I was
bound by the ties of deep sympathy;
but he could not be ignoble, of that I
felt convinced.
He had perhaps been wild, but he
was repenting with q suffering body,
and his soul was struggling to be free.
Then I felt the papers in my breast

AS guardian of what dark secret had I
bound myself over?
Lapotin was Russian; did he belong
to those whose fanatical ideas did not
shrink even from regicide?
My loyal Prussian heart beat wildly;
my position did not suit me. Let one

AS tho business of life takes me up,
down, round and about, notice how
badly women sit almost always In an
elevated train this morning it occurred
to me that my pretty neighbor dropped
her shoulders and leaned slightly for
ward. She was talking with anima-
ton but she sat with laziness. Then
glanced along the lines Of passengers
and couldn't see woman who was
sitting properly. Some bent toward
the aisles and some threw themselves
back against the seats, but not one APP
peared to have any vitality or energy of
muscle or of waist development to hold
her in an erect. graceful pose.
wonder. sometimes if all the pictur-.
sequences of fashion at the moment is
meant to cover up things. 1t is good
plan when contours are faulty to have
them little vague. The other day
gave an artist a sketch of a house to re-
produce for a newspaper. SIT was

"Oh," he replied, "that accounts for

ALI of which applies to shoulders and
70 sleeves. I know a slim, vivacious
woman with an irregular face and big
/ brown eyes. She is not pretty woman
except when her checks are pink with
exercise ar excitement, and she is very
round shouldered. Two or three years
ago, before sleeves heaved themselves
up in little hills, remember I thought
her an awkward and unattractive indi-
vidual. But she is very slender and
rather tall, and the queer peaks that
now rise UP on either side of her accent
an odd sort of picture-lil>eness, and
make her, with hat that thrusts itself
away out in front and reaches and
leans, a strange, eager sort of person,
quantity anxious to arrive, bending
into the future, with a newly-acquired

High sleeves have really made social
success of her. They have given an
elfish sort of Individuality to her de-
ficiencies. I'd like to know If the first
high-sleeved suggestion didn't come
from somebody with slim figure and
round shoulders.

in black crinoline illustrates new de-
parture in adornment; it is ornamented,
not with single flowers or with clusters,
but with regularly made up bouquets Of
heliotrope and hyacinths. A toque with
strings, which really constitute it a
bonnet, is in pink and gray. A fall of
black lace is oddly caught down in
front, as appears in the cut, and fas-
tened with rose. Round hats with
bent brinls are the order of the hour,
and these are made interesting with
standing ruches.
There is always an interest in trous-
seaus; not in the least the sentimental
interest that might be expected, for
trousseaus are not gotten up for senti-
ment, but for style. To me, indeed,
they seem always particularly heartless
affairs, for they usually tire woman
out SO thoroughly that she ceases to
take very lively interest in getting
married. Nevertheless here is fine

''There is no danger at all, but you

Next SATURDAY.
The Charleston boys telegraphed yes
terday that they would arrive here Sat-
urday to try conclusions at football with
the Los Angeles team. The game will
be played on the vacant lot, corner of
Jefferson and Figueroa streets and
known as the University grounds. The
visitors will be the guests OF the Los
Angeles Athletic club during their stay
in Los Angeles. After the football game
the naval boys will have an opportunity
to dance with the pretty girls of Los
Angeles at the Athletic club.
The game will be called at O'Clock
sharp and will be played under the in
ter-collegiate rules. Catlin, the captain
of the Charleston team, is reported to
be one of the best football players in
America. His team is an especially
strong one, being composed of Annapolis
graduates.
The Los Angeles club will practice
Thursday afternoon at O'Clock on JEFF

very painful if he didn't happen to strike
the right notes occasionally, entirely by
