the rocks he followed after in such a way
Inat she was not conscious of being tracked.
when she was at last in her accus-
toned place he took q position behind a
mass OF rocks, from which point he
could contemplate her without his presence
belng Known. He gave a curious account
Oh what he witnessed. The girl carried a
long Stuck with crook on the end, aud
with this she picked her way over the rocks
20 point where the sea circled clear and
deep Just beneath her. There she paused
ana, fastening to the stick q small nail
which she picked from crsvlce whore she
had evidently hidden it, she leaned over
and lowered the pail to the water. It filed
| and'she drew it I'D.
Then she stood upright, making a thor
oughly fine and graceful figure against the
soft blue and rose sky, and seeming like a
! young goddess preparing for some mystic
ceremony. And this fancy was strength
ened when, raising pail Of sea water aloft
ana turning her eyes from one point OF the
horizon to the other, her lips moved as
though in prayer. and she drank deep and
solemn draught. TIE young man who was
watching could not make out what these
strange actions meant, but after filling the
| pail again with salt water the girl wan
dered over the rocks until she came close
to where he was hiding, and, pausing there
| once more swept her serious gaze about the
| skies and uttered another PRAYER. which
was this time audible
81 have done nothing, o Goddess of
Beauty" she murmered ito merit the in
| Fiction of this pimple on my ohm. have

day night l shall not be the belle Of the

And thus speaking she again raised the
pail to her lips.
That was what the young man declares
he saw and heard.
A correspondent writing from London
says that it is an open secret that little Lady
William Gordon Gun ming is already reap
ing the whiTlwind by an impetuous, ill as
sorted mind. Truth to say, she is very
unhappy, and her letters to her intimate
friends reveal a state of disbursement and
regret quite pathetic in its iatensity.
The baronet does not make the most
congenial or agreeable of husbands. his
temper, never good, has deteriorated sadly.
and even the prospect of u little son and
heir in the near future. to most young
mothers vision of delight that compen-
safes for all lesser unhappinesS, in her case
proves only on additional cause for sorrow.
The heritage of disgrace ami shame
which must be one of the evil fairy's
birthgifts, weighs more with poor '-Flon
Garner than all the broad Scotch moors
and the old baronetcy that come along
with it, IL is only new reading of the
old saw Marry in haste and repent at

Do you want to know, asks the Free
Press, how the divided skirts of the famous
dancers are fashioned! Make your skirt of
light crisp silk, some pretty color-scarlet,
if you like, or bright blue Let it come
half way between knee and ankle. Just a
pair of scant boomers, either ballooning or
holding by elastic about the leg. On each
leg sew a ruffle half way above
the knee, a full rut1e. or better
still, knife plating that falls to where the
boomers end. If you want to BE- very par
ticular you can put another ruffle under
this just about the knee of each leg, and
falling to the edge Of the boomers. Then
a new skirt this same length and of the
same material to the end of the boomers.
No matter what happens, no flash of white
can suggest exposure Tie white articles
of wear are safe under the bloomefs No
matter how high reach the step up is, the
rutiies on the lifted leg fall in q mass about
the leg and down to the other leg, LOOKING
as If ones skirt chung kindly.
why is it that you always wear silk
glove in summer, even on cool days~ asked
the correspondent of the New York Times.
In reply, the little coquette to whom the
question was addressed held tiny, silk
Rloved hand up in the sunlight, saying mer-
rily: 'Don't you see my diamonds sparkle?
Now, with kid glove | must take off my
rings or spoil my gloves, and nobody sees
them, anyway. Besides, did you ever see
kid glove prettier than my silk ones"
The last argument was unanswerable, for
nothing could have been prettier than
the glove she was weering-a white
silk with top embroidered il
co.ors matching those SO artistically
grouped IN the small-howered China silk,
and on the hat, where shy blossoms hid
under white lace. With the mercury against
them, the kid gloves never will entirely ex-
clude those of silk. A well-fttinG silk is
infinitely more pleasing to the eye and more
comfortable to wear than q kid, stained,
clammy and knock kneed with perspiratiou.
The kid-tipped silk gloves are what the
schoolgirls call terribly awfully ugly. They
make the wearer look like a victim of
railroad accident. But even these are better
than mitts. No lady should wear mitts un-
less she employs a manicure. The mitt
invites attention to the nails.
The heroine of the shabby gown, who, by
her urexceptionable boots never shoes and
gloves climbed with bewildering repidity to
the grand and lofty niche IN the social pin
nacle which her Inmate ladyhOod" fitted
her to adorn, was not conceived from an
American standpoint. Whatever the French
or the English femininity may do, the
United States girl never wears shabby
gown. If her gloves and shoes are shabby
it is because she didn't have money enough
to go around, 50 don't blame her. "What
could do, prayP she says, piteously; 81
had to get q dress"
But, then, the foreign women have SO
much better opportunity for selection that
they are not much to be commended. Lines
of gloves-kid, leather and thread--Well
known and in common use in London and
Paris are seldom seen in this country save
as they are brought over in private glove
boxes. This is disadvantage which is not
liable to disappear with the present tariff
in force.
The soft white Tyrol glove, with its deep,
round, stiff gauntlet, Is the most striking
glove on the market, but it belongs exclu-
sively to the girl with the picture hat 1t
is not at all an everyday glove ready for
any occasion. 1t mus have its accompani-
ments and surroundings. The sac glove of
chamois or undressed kid is more adaptable.
The white undreSsed mousquetaire is used,
in varying lengths, for full dress and with
the more elaborate visiting toilets. The
white glace kid in the four button length
is popular as a sort of general utility dress
glove, being worn promiscuously with
