mace door and place the silver carefully
inside, with the overcoat and jacket
neatly folded on top. When she re-
turned to the attic for more booty,
Harry, knowing she would be gone for
some time, went to the station house
and secured the services of the only
constable the place afforded. Together
they returned to the house and saw
Mary depositing the second load of sill

to arrest Mary at once but Harry re-

AS the clock struck eleven she reap

outside door. She then put short lad

outside the pantry window, leaving it
open, probably meaning to show this

Then she threw the furniture about as
if there had been terrific struggle.
From the cupboard under the sink, she
took out ropes and gag. Tying her
ankles securely, she adjusted the gag
between her teeth, then slipped her
wrists into the loops she had made in
the ropes, dextrously tightening them
by pulling them with her thumbs, and
threw herself on the floor as if flung
down by cruel hands. My husband and
the constable excitedly watched her
proceedings. They now entered the
kitchen through the pantry window.
Mary turned her beseeching eyes -

hear Harry say:

The gag was in her mouth so she
could not scream out, and quickly they
lifted and took her to place of securi-

Mary handing a bundle to one of her

searched, many other things of ours
were discovered, though our silver had
been melted and disposed of. The
place was thoroughly cleaned out by
the police and the family left the town
to begin operations elsewhere.

We advertised in the Philadelphia pa

Harry found me one day dissolved in

The thought of boarding made me
very unhappy, for I greatly enjoyed

full. The guimpe is invariably arranged
directly upon the lining, and is not, by
this careful disposition, likely to pull

self, and fitting as the clinging silk
would, formed her waist. Other styles
are more exactly fitted, and one
shown recently was a late French
model, and was an evidences of the
fancy for the guimpe, as well as for the
fitted bodice. The material is pale
lavender and white striped silk; the
skirt is moderately full in front, much
fuller at the back, and has for finish
a scant frill of the silk, nearly half a
yard wide, which is gathered and sewcd
about the edge, sewed, by the bye, very
carefully, and by hand. The bodice
portion is fitted after the manner of
peasant-waist, except that it comes high
upon the shoulders, and closes in front
where it folds over Its rounded edge
is finished with folded frill of laven-
der silk, shade darker than that shown
in the stripe of the skirt. Above this is
full guimpe of white crepe de chine,
finished about the throat with stock OF
lavender ribbon. The sleeves are pretty
high, shape into the arm and have cuff
finish of lavendar ribbon. About the
waist is girdle of the ribbon, which is
folded down in loops on one side, and
has long ends and loops on the other.
The hat is a black straw, faced with
lavendar velvet, and decorated with
white lace ribbon and lavender flowers.
Such bodice would be very pretty
developed in any of the silks, and where
as light an effect were not desired, the
guimpe could be made of black, or any
crepe de chine that would be in har-
mony with the gown or becoming to the
wearer. If q. little heavier material
were preferred for it. then surah silk
could he used, but the crepe de chine
has softer and somewhat more elab-
crate air, and is an essentially becom-
ing fabric.-Ladies' Home Journal.

sadly helpless but for her, for found
it impossible to procure servants. The

experience in cooking.

it, and my painting materials remained
unpacked in my trunk. A number of

Let Chocolate Bonbons AIon..

: The latest crusade is being preached
against what is called the chocolate
habit. Dentists say that the practice
of munching chocolates at all times and
seasons is very destructive to the teeth,
and some physicians go a step farther
and assert that too free indulgence in
this toothsome compound will, if con-
tinued, permanently injure the digestive
organs. All of which is very depressing.
Many mothers who consider bonbons in
general harmful have fallen back upon
these particular chocolate goodies as
safe and satisfactory substitutes for the
proverbial sweet tooth Of the juvenile.

tions to persuade some Of them to tho
