ravinG mad this spring, and for once
has forgotten her dignity; at least, in
one small corner Of her domain.
East Bourne. the fashionable. the
exclusive, with It's endless stretch OF
shining white beach, its miles OF gray
sea walls, here and there tumbling into
picturesque decay. its red-roofed hos
telries and turreted manors, and its
row upon row OF summer villas, threw
aside all the foibles which encompass
and restrict society, and entered with
mad zest into the celebration Of the
continental carnival, with its battle Of
flowers, confetti. bits OF silver and all
that 20 to make up the merry con-
fusion.
AT the first outbreak the stately
Engilshwomen looked on soornfully,
but by and by the soft laughter and
the Gleeful abandon of the mass of
elegantes thrilled their sluggish blood,
and throwing all decorum aside, en-
tered heart and soul into the gay riot.

II was an odd picture. this Spanish

the Vsrandas Of the obstetrics were

in her small circle.
She was tall and blonde; her pale
hair gathered Into q soft mass on the
top OF her naughty head.
She was plnk-cheeked and her violet
blue eyes were fringed with long black
lashes In odd contrast to her yellow
locks. She wore soft gown OF orchid
colored muslin. very sheer and silky.
Around the foot Of the flarlng skirt
swept rows of yellow silk lace. The
baby waist was beautifully enriched
by a quantity shaped collar OF costly
