there was a beautiful maiden who loved an
equally handsome youth, who was below,
her in rank, inasmuch as she was prln-
cess And every day her favorite fox ter
rier went to him with message OF love,
and every day he came back with another
message of love. Now. one of the queer
Eastern gods was her father, and he had
determined to wed ner to a. great king;
but she refused and said she would only
marry the man she loved. And she sent
word by the little fox terrier to her lover
that she would die for his sake, but that
she would never become the wife OF another
man.
And the lover whispered something to
the little fox terrier and hid quaint little
bottle in the collar OF Jewels that was
about his neck. That same day the prin-
cess heard that a beautiful youth, who
was of no standing, had been found dead on
the street. Then she permitted her maids to
dress her for her wedding. And the little
dog asked her if she were going to be un-
faithful; and she looked at him as dogs
lcok at women nowadays. When they
fetched her into the temple IN all her
bridal finery and left her alone to pray
she took from one OF the gorgeous Jeweled
pockets that swung at her size the little
bottle that her lover had sent her, and she
swallowed Its contents.
They came to look for the bride, but
they found a dead maiden, while beside
her was a little dog crying as II his heart
would break And her wicked father
called curse on him, and said that, from
that day on until the end of the world no
dog should speak except through his eyes.
And if you have bit of doubt about this
story, you need only, some day when you
are In trouble, and little dog who is tond
of you and whom you love is near you,
look at him and he will say all
that a friend could say, but it will
be with his eyes. True? OF course it is
true. If you have any doubt at all about

when the clergy swear to anything it must

is enough about dogs. Let us return to
women. BAB.

ibis is good and useful gown.
A bodice of violet velvet is embroidered
IN gold. Jet and turquoise. The TOP por-
ton of this and the puffed sleeves are of
velvet chiffon lined with an unusual shade
IN blue, and the skirt of violet silk is
striped with tucks of violet velvet. These
go straight around at the back, pointing
upward at the side in style said to be
ike the early Victorian.
One of the latest additions to bodice is
the new tippet. 1t is distinct from the
skirt and easily added, and entirely alters
the appearance of gown. For instance,

are adorned with lace. The sleeves are
slashed here and there and turn back

the slashings.
Very fetching are the shirts which are
being made OF bandana in red. green and
gold, but some greatly favor the latest
London fad, shirts of white satin, made

These have turn-down collars and cuffs of
satin. At the neck is tied white satin
bow. They are said to be 1.-The most be-

A brown tweed frock with pipings Of
myrtle green velvet is very stylish. 1t has
plastron of lighter shade of brown, the
pretty little turned down collar is of the
velvet, which pipes all the seams. The
skirt is cut as Redfern knows so well how
to cut all garments made by him, for this
one comes from his establishment. A
round, brown straw leaf, simply trimmed
with quills and rosettes of green velvet, is
suggested as very appropriate to be worn
with this gown.
The evening dress illustrated is the
production of q Frenchwoman. 1t is of
'thck. cream-colored satin, edged with
sable, the seams on either side being OF
the loveliest lace. The stripes are OF mar.

buttons" The bodice is draped round the
figure and is of the cream satin. 1t has
an inner chemisette of the finest muslin
and lace insertions. AS you see, the
sleeves reveal the arm, the small under
sleeve being made of insertion of tucks,
li6e the top portion of the bodice, which
is threaded with the tiniest OF pink satin
ribbons.
A good visiting dress is composed of
chine silk of black and white stripes. The
bodice is of a modified directoire with
cape-like revers, andsa waistcoat of white
satin and paste buttons, as are also the
gauntlet cuffs of the satin. A jabot of lace
effectively finishes it.

a. coat of black satin with military
braiding on the sleeves of gold braid is

a wide fall of lace encircling the shoul-
ders and extending down the front, the

The sleeves are curious wing-like affairs,
