"What you too, Flo! another gull! You,
whom I have held up as the cleverest and
the most sensible of all women? You're all
alike, bless your little hearts, the huger the
imposture the more you enjoy it; yet did
think you pegs above the mob"
And Jack Darlington throws himself back
in his easy chair, elasping his hands behind
his head his eyes sparkling with delight at
Mrs. Borrowdaile's look of indignation.
Jack is a man who is allowed good deal
of license in chatting the fair sex. He is
handsome as a young god, and light-hearted
as a schOOlbOy, though he has reached his
18th wear, and is on the eve of marriage.
''You can think what you like, >" Flo Bor-
rowdaile answers, with little pique in her
tone. Il suppose, being a man, you are TOO
obstinate TO admit that you can be wrong,
even if it were proved to you. The truth
is, that mems conceit stands in the way of
their learning great deal that is; what is
bevond their understanding, of course they
argue cannot be; but that doesn't alter
facts.
60 it, he says saucilv, ''fire away; L
like to look at you when excited, my dear;
you look awfuIIy well with your feathers
rutfled.
She laughs, though she tries not; then
continues, without noticing his last thrust:
"Cleverer men than you, Mr.. Jack, be-
lieve in Spirirualism. When Dick was last

luctantly. "tA man convinced against his
will, remains an unbeliever still. You
have not gone far enough yet to form an
opinion. 1 daresay after all you've for

95 note that when you refer to your death
book at Haslar, you will find that the date
is right after all. l never knew spirit say
wrong Oh that matter before.
"Afraid not" he responds, with a twinkle
in his ewes. 'sYou and he imagined Sep
tember 81 between you"
Here the door opens, and Cis re-enters.
'tYou've done at last P' she says in tone
of relief. 81 hoped you had, for heard you
laughing. 1 trust you've not convert,
Jack, for l hate Spiritualism; when am
present 1 fancy 1 can feel the spirits blow
ing over my facei and 1 get so fanciful 1
imagine all sorts of things. I could almost
declare that Just as 1 entered the room,
something whispered low in my ear Sep
tember 81"
"Low in your ear!' echoes Jack, brush
ing back the soft hair from her little pink
ear as he leads her in. 'Why, we've been
bandying those few words backwards and
forwards again and again. No wonder you
heard them! Flo and her table have got
that date on their brain, and will have it that
the so-called spirit died on that day, when
he was, to my knowledge, alive and kick
ing. No. I'm not convert, my little girl,
and think you are in the right to leave such
things alone.
"Cis is highly mediumistic," says Flo.
'sShe would be invaluable to me if she were
not so timid believe she would make
frst-rate trance medium.
"Heaven Forbid replies Jack, laughing.
"Come, shall we have turn on the river?

pockets and blouses A full waist is ap-
propriate for a school girl, with ribbon
sash to tie in front, over which the blouse
partially fails. Two ruffles may trim the
bottom, and the half full, wrinklcd sleeve,
with ruff1e at the wrist, is never out of Or
der.
Outing cloth is one of the best of the
children's materials, and trims well with
white embroidery. The skirt may be cut
bias and may have little coat or deep
basque, edged with Hamburg, opening over
a vest, which may be of the goods, or of
null, or of washing silk The rolling col
lar may have Hamburg edge, and there
should be Hamburg cuffs to the sleeves.
The variety in the personal appearance of
girls in this world is astonishing, and their
tastes vary with their features, but just at
present they are all meeting on the ground
of common interest The great topic for
the summer girl is "How to keep my bangs
in curl" and she is waiting anxiously for
some one who will solve the problem.
These warm days play havoc with the
bang, which owes its wavy beauty to the
curling.iron, electric comb or the plain, old
fashioned curling Many an hour of
patient, hard work throughout the summer
results in nothing at its close but few
struggling locks of hair that absolutely re-
fuse to curl. This question Of the curly

but pretty hair is never remarkable. She
had been out nearly whole, season when
one night man said to her that she had an
original and graceful gait She was thrilled.
1t was really the first honest compliment
she had ever received She thought 1t over
and then went to work to discover what it
was in her walk that called forth
the admiration of the man. She soon
learned that it was slight swagger, an in
voluntary swaying of the hips and shoul-
ders. She accentuated this swagger very
discreetly, and before long she heard every
one talking about her fascinating walk.
Presently she was fattered by seeing great
est beauties attempting to initiate her, but
none of them could do it with the natural
grace that she exhibited. She at once be-
gan to gain confidence that hitherto she
had lacked. AT dances she was sought after
by the best men with the same assiduity
that was inspired by the handsomest bellies.
She bloomed, as a rose, encouraged by the
sun and dew, will bloom, and soon she
gloried in the finest figure of her set, as
well as the most captivating walk. 1t would
have been Joy to watch her walk a thou
sand miles. Well, she was the rage, and
made one of the most desirable matches of
the year.

and putting eau de cologne upon his brow.
He looks as calm as if he were asleep,
excepting that his right arm is pressed
against his heart, and his hand is tightly
closed over small white parcel. 1t is the
little box containing the wedding ring for
Cis.
The doctor touches Flo on the shoulder
and draws her on one side.
"Sister," he asks, IN low tone, glancing
at the kneeling girl.
Engaged wife" she replies, softly, but
Cis is too absorbed too heed them. SIS it a
bad injury"
He forms with his lips the word ''DeadP'
"Get her away, she must be told it as soon
as possible"
they do so presently on pretense of a
surgical examination, then the doctor tells

tions:

She grasps his hand, as that of an old

stranger no longer one.
"Can you not stay a little longer?" she
asks piteously, ''at any rate until 1 have

rising as he points to the entry.
Flo mechanically glances at the book,
and as her eyes rest on the lines he points
to, she reads the date, which till now she
had not remembered.

Donald McGregor had after all done what
he could to warn Jack Darlington against
this fateful day.-Bdgravia.

Very few women understand the pro-
priety of rings. Women who possess ugly
hands announce the fact to the world by EN-
blazoning them with jewels. Notice how
freckles, big knuckles and bones are en-
phasized by the flashing of gems. The hand
for rings need not of necessity be small. 1t
must be well groomed, however, and of
satin smoothness. The large, white hand,
with long, slim fingers and pink nails, looks
well adorned with diamonds, rubies,
sapphires or emeralds. The little brown
hand, if well cared for, may also essay the
wearing of gems; but the sallow, the
freckled, the red, the hairy, the
hand with bitten, or worse, unclean
nails, has nothing in common with
ornamentatioh. Emeralds make white
hand look winter still; so does the combina-
tion of turquoises and diamonds, while
rubies and 'sapphires are not specially be-
coming to any hand. A dark or brown

Hints for Dressy Women.

STRIPED black grenadines and shot taffeta
silk for lining them.
SILK gloves are brought out with treble
tips for the summer.
A HAT of green rush straw is covered with
mignonette and wallfowers.
FoULARD is high in favor and pretty tones
of red and white are much seen.
ELASTIC belts of silver wire have square
buckles in front studded with amethysts.
HORIZONTAL stripes of black and pink in
openworl1 are the newest thing in stockings.
A WHITE wool crepe frock for young girl
is trimmed with bands of turquoise and gold
gallOOn.
A BONNET of gold-colored openwork straw
is trimmed with green ribbon strings and
yellow roses.
STRAWBERRY and gray shot silk is the new
est material for waterproof5 which are now
identical with dust cloaks.
CHINA silks of dull red or blue grounds,
printed in designs resembling the charac-
ters upon tea boxes have decidedly Orien-
tai effect.
FRENCH batistes in stripes of old rose, and
white, green and white, ETC., besides being
very charming have the great advantage of
being washable.
THIS is emphatically season of sheer ma
teriaIs. Of these grenadine is in high favor
and has to great extent superseded lace, so
fashionable last season. A stately gown of
black grenadine is made over black satin,
the sleeves being of the satin only, covered
with jet cabochons A faring color of jet
and a girdle ofjet with pendants finish the
costume.
PETrICoATs of every variety commandingly
arrest the attention and might well furnish

versifier who has candidly confessed himself
ready to write a sonnet on q skirt as "laure-
ate of frills" Lawn trimmed with lace is the
fabric of several new models, while one of
pink silk shot with heliotrope is bordered
with f1ounces tied with pink ribbon.
A VERY becoming gown for young girl is
made with round waist long enough to
tuck under the skirt belt. 1t is made over a
fitted lining and fastens in the back. A
