NOTES.

A gray suede walking boot}is finished
with patent leather.
The favorite of the daring color cojhbina-
lions peculiar to the season is green and
heliotrope.
The most fashionable neckties forwomen,
are made in white linen of piqu4 folded
like mans and tied, notanade upx ~
Velvet ribbons are much used 1r trim

There is at least one good Hing that we
can not have too much of1laSe. The more
ruf1lcs and hounces and saueF little edges,
the better our right to ASSERT our innate
superiority over less fortunate neighbors.
Fine wool costunlesyfor summer journeys
are made with gored Skirt and low bodice of
the goods, plain, striped or checked, that
reaches just under the arms. Above this is
waist of wash silk, which is always light
and comfortable.
In goring the dress skirt to fit closely
about the hips. the fullness is thrown well
to the back and mounted in fiat and box
pleats, or Fittings, which take up a very
narrow space, the material spreading out at
the edge in fan shape.
In spite of the Gordon sash and the ten
mis- belt with its snakey clasps and the
''suspender'' girdle that the smart girl
effects, the leather belt still holds its own
with the old-fashioned metal and belt trans
formed into gold and silver thing of glory.
Not every girl that wears tabled
bodice knows that the very first record of
such an eccentricity of attire dates back to
ancient Rome. Part of the armor of Roman
soldiers. called the lorica, was originally
made of leather and had flaps of leather at
the edge.
About the newest wrinkle in shoes is the
use of white ties with white day costumes
at the resorts. They are laced ties of white
duck or heavy open-lace canvas, with mar
row bands of white suede kid up the OPEN
ing around the ankle, down the heel and
as a pointed tip.
A rather uncommon way Of arranging
lace f1ouncings is to fest on f1ounce four
yards long twice across the front of the
skirt, first halfway down and then near
the edge of the skirt. Each fiounce falls
from the edge of the bodice at the back,
and its width is shirred on a ribbon along
the edge of the bodice.
The soft, full silk skirt that has rubber
run in casing around the waist, and which
falls over in blouse fashion, is finished with
reiling collar, and has full, high sleeves
gathered in the deep cutis. These shirts
are shown In white, blue, pink, pink, laven-
der, brown and black surah, in blue India
silk that has polka det upon it, but most
useful Of ali. in uAbleached pongee.

A pretty finish is made at the bottom by
fringe of several shades of yellow, the
floss being cut into lengths and darned into
the lower meshes of the honeycomb in such
a way as to form points
Bows of yellow and white ribbon are
fastened at the upper corners, and if desired
a ribbon can be added by which it can be
suspended to the chair This is one of the
delightful pieces of work that are quickly
and easily executed, and are as effective as
those requiring far greater expenditure
of time and labor.

ROMANCE OF
UNDERCLIFF.

NE 4ARGARET FAULDER lived with
AVE- her son Richard in a solitary cottage
h'%2, on the hills at Undercliff She had
educated her son privately, and he was by
far the most accomplished young man in the
village. lie had fondness for OratOry, and
made long rambleS in the woods to practice
defamation, for he intended some day to
take an active part in public life.
Margaret, who made living selling game
IN the neighbOrhood, had never thought of
explaining to her neighbors the reason for
her sons rambles, but secretly the towns
people believed he went into the woods to
trap game.
The old Squire had been very lenient in
allowing the freedom Of his preserves, but
when the new Squire took possession ne
fenced in the woods and put game-keepers
IL charge. Richard, however, did not cease
his rambles, and one night having fallen
asleep under tree lie was surprised by a
squire and a Keeper. A struggle ensued.
and Richard was borne off to the County
Jail, where he lay in durance for two
months, his mother not being able to pro-
cure bail
Circumstances were strongly against him {:
he had been found asleep in the woods and
numerous traps were discovered in the
neighborhoOd.
People of the town testified regarding his
mysterious rambles.
Sentence was about to be pronounced on
him. when suddenly Margaret Faulder found
herself face TO face with the new Squire. A
strange expression passed over her face as
she turned to the Judge.
The lands of Staley and A shton are the
prisoners own lands-he can't steal from
himself" Then, before the amazement had
time TO frame itself into words she had adj
vanced in front of the bench and Squire
Ashton had advanced to meet her. they
looked silently into each others ewes. and n
vivid CLEAN Of passionate admiration
glowed on the Squire's face; but Margaret
put Out D0th hands as as if to keep him
away, and said in a voice clear and authori-
tatlve; Richard, for your sons sake,
speak"
He turned from her with look of re-
proach and said:
Your honor. my lady is correct: the
prisoner is my son, though, as l have not
seen him Tor nineteen years, the Court will
excuse me for not having identified one
whom have long believed TO be dead"
hen Margaret was at her sons side, en-
bracing and consoling him. She needed not
curious looks and whispers, nor that her
husband had ridden away without further
word. Every thought was swallowed up in
the supreme JOY OF knowing that her son
was formally declared free, and that she
could take him home with her. They did

Full OF mauhood's graCes.

What her age is, she was three
