Evidently they mean us to have
these rooms" ] said.
My wife did not answer. Suddenly she
began:
Long ago n beautiful maiden occu-
pied this chamber: and here her lover
was in the habit of visiting her, bring
Ing with him bouquets OF hcliotrope. the
maiden's favorite flower. one day, as
she rested upon a couch awaiting his
arrival her lover stole In and presented
her with a bouquet. AS the maiden bent
her head to inhale the fragrance, her
false lover thrust a dagger IN her neck
and fed. pulling down her long hair over
the wound.
1.-The room is said to be still the
scene OF the maiden's visitation"
In the course OF our travels l had be-
come used to my wife's random readings
from the guide book.
She now looked up from the book.
This room!" she explained with en-
thusiasm.
she must have been a young woman
Of uncommonly bad taste to have occu-
pied this room" I remarked.
II should judge 1t to have been the
cause of her death, but for the contrary
evidence of history"
But the romantic tale In connection
with our chamber must have excited my
wife's imagination. for she sat upon the
little lounge n Gazed out on the gath
erlng dusk until the moonlight began to
cast faint shadows upon the lawn below.
How delightful it would be to meet a
ghost" unused my wife.

would cut you Immediately after the
Introduction"
With this rcjoinder my wife took one
Of the candles 1 had lit n carried IT
to her room.
I was soon asleep.
In the night 1 woke and found my
room flooded with moonlight. A ray
from the moon had probably fallen upon
my face and wIkened me; that. or some.
thing else.
What?
I turned uneasiiy in my bed My
mind seemed possessed with a strange
idea; some one was in the room.
Z | was conscious OF a subtle fragrance
permeatlng the air; 1t was the odor OF
heiiotrope. l recalled the story of the
guide-book and l instlnctively turned my
eyes to the couch by the window.

the PENSION GHOST.
IN Unyonaa.tic Experience IN u Little

We were on our way from Northern

"But where shall we stop asked my
wife, for our travelled friends In beQueath-

rierce had left Us the address of no lodg-

Some what to my surprise the guide
book mentioned our out-of-the-way town
and named its dozen o, hotels and pen-
slons. one OF the latter we chose.
1t was still light when we reached the
border OF France and drew into our
station.

There were more unliveried men who
thronged about US, each manifest!ng the
utmost eagerness TO relieve US OF our
luggage.
To one OF these I surrendered our bags
and gave him the address to which he
should take them.
We had not far to follow him. He
took US through Il turn in the road and
soon deposited our bags upon the
threshold of our lodging.
Here we were beamingly received by
the proprietor OF the pension, much. In

guests.

one adjoining. She would show them to
us.

was eloquent. | managed to understand

Fancy straws, IN pink, violet, tur-
quoise blue or pale green, are very
dressy and most frequently the trim
mings are wholly black or where color
is used, it is only in a slighl proportion
Black violets are particularly well liked
and black lace or chiffon in accordion
plaits is most popular garniture, not
only on this special class of hats, but
throughout millinery in general, since
both give the desired tone, without I'm
due heayiness. Black ostrich tips new
ertheless, are used to an extent I'M
wonted in summer and a stylish hat
shows rich assemblage of three long
ones that partially hang over wide
front brim, with a. spray of pink roses
rising high just behind them In gen
eral however, the fancy for small flow
ers lying fiat and moire loops standing
stiff1y above, continue to lead and for
this reason, violets, whether in black,
white or purple are so very fashiona
BILE. Pansies give a change and crush
ed roses also serve he desired purpose.
A combination of violets and roses is
specially liked, the latter in a spray of
one or two that rise from the midst of
low lying violets. Some sailor hats are
now quite large and more plentifully
trimmed than has been customary,
since loops extending wide both ways
in front or at the back are in finish to
a cluster Of flowers at each side.
