such plunging. But Pettingill, who
seemed to see ahead more clearly than
did, gave me look that held mo
silent.
"Montgo 1ery was well supplied with
money, and for long time paid his
losses in cash But finally he took out
his handbook, wrote check and
passed it to Clifford in settlement, and
asked him if that was satisfactory.
Clifford placed it in his pocket with
out looking at it, merely nodding to
the other, and went on with the game.
This was repeated two or three times,
and after that Pettingill nodded to me
that we had best draw out of the game,
and let them fight it to finish alone.
Montgomery had grown nervous,
and was playing recklessly. Clifford
was calm, little paler than usual,
and playing with deliberate calcula-
ton that meant ruin to his adversary,
if he could compass it. Presently
Montgomery paused, and made a hasty
calculation in his bank book he hest
tated a moment after this, and then
said quietly to Clifford;
'''I have no more money. would
like to have another chance, if you will
let me. My private collection of paint
ings is worth five thousand dollars
HE looked at Clifford inquiringly,
not putting his question into words.
All right said the other briefly, and
the game went on.

STYLISH EMBROIDERY.
Something About tho Very Latest
Thing in Embroidery.
a Combination of Honiton Braid with
Enbroidery-Iixcellent Model In the
Shape of a Cushion-Corner for
Table Linen.

'The very latest thing in needleworlS
is combination of the honiton braid
with embroidery. Heretofore we have
had the lovely lace work, and we have
even seen the braids used as braids
simply, but their use for applique and
their combination with long and short
stitch are both new and immensely ef-
fective.
The work is simple in the extreme
and requires no knowledge beyond that
which every woman has. The secret
of success lies in the design and in the
selection of colors If you are careful
that both of these are good, the rest
will surely follow, and you may be as
sured of success.

ing is excellent as a model, and can

Montgomery-was such one. He al
ways wanted to play for higher stakes
than the club limit. He wanted money
enough up to make the game interest
ing So one night we determined to
oblige him.
81 must 20 back a little and tell you
enough about Montgomery, SO that
you may clearly understand what fol-
lows. He had been left some money
enough so that he had never been COM
PEELED to go regularly into business in
order to get living. He affected the
society of artists a good deal, and had
the merit of knowing a good picture
when he saw it. knowledge of this
sort is just as valuable as a knowledge
of precious stones or of any other fine
commodity, if a man knows how to
use it, and has the commercial in
stinct. Montgomery possessed these
qualifications and used them SO that
many a fairish picture passed through
his hands on the way from the studio
1 to the walls of the final purchaser, and
| it was said that the larger part of the
price stuck to Montgomery fingers
Not that he was ever accused of dishon-
esty, or anything underhanded in his
transactions. If he traded sometimes
on the necessities of improvident
painters, that was his own concern and
theirs. If there had even been hint
of more than this, he could not have
remained in the club.
"You know the club has quite an
artistic contingent. Clifford, the land
scapist is one of our best known art
members, and being particular friend
of mine l spoke to him about accom-
modating Montgomery with this game

A RAINY DAY.

a dull gray sky and dull brown earth,
And the dreary, steady rain,
The shadows grow deeper within the room;
a fly creeps over the pane.
Trees stand still and lifeless and dull,
The raindrops cling to the leaves
a lonely sparrow, rolled up in ball
Chirps drearily under the caves.
Tho sweet blush roses hang their heads
Heavy and dripping with rain;
A butterfly trails the limp, white wings
He never will use again.
The long lush grass, with foam-like fringe,
Lies tangled on the ground,
And the rains sad, deadening spell has hushed
Each tiny insect sound.
A dull gray sky and q steady rain
And shadows dim up-piled,
And out of the darkness and sadness rings
The laugh of little child.

Japanese lacquer is a ready-made
product of nature, being prepared from
the sap of the lacquer tree, which,
when hardened, is of mirror-like
smoothness, unaffected by either acids
or hot water. 1t is of great durabili-
ty. never splitting or cracking. The
industrial Importance of lacquer work
is far above its art value in Japan,
where it is employed for an infinite
variety of uses, even for such objects
as acid tanks, ship kecls and pho
tograpbic tablets, not to speak of the
objects of domestic use. The unique
superiority of Japanese lacquer work
is due not only to the special merit OF
the material, but also to the care and
skill shown by japanese in the manip.
ulation of the material The art lac.

The laces this season are even love-
lier than in years past, and that is Civ
ing them the very highest praise, for
every summer they appear to be as
pretty as possible; yet when the next
twelve months roll around there is an
added beauty that causes one TO
marvel at the wonderful skill of the
maker. The few summer gowns which
are not to be trimmed with lace or en-
broidery are to be made in true tailor
fashion. In this category are the linen
and duck suits. The linens are the
newer and when made with white
vests are very smart indeed. Red. that
extremely popular summer color,
come prominently to the fore in chillas,
and without doubt red and black in
combination will be very much worn
this coming season. The thinner ma
terials, such as plumetis and organdie
lissie, will be made over satin and
trimmed with baby ribbon ro5ettes
and lace. Cotton grenadines in black
are perfect wonders, SO closely do they
resemble the higher priced silk ones.
