A BROKEN LIFE.

Outside the December evening was clos
ing in with grimy rain and heavy swirls of
mist that drifted up Northumberland ave-
nue. from the river. But within the Metro
pole Hotel was a blaze of light and color
and was merry with the babble of voices
and light laughter of women.
In a small sitting room on the second
floor ii was delicousIy warm and fragrant
huge fire leaped and cracked on the
hearth, the soft radiance of the electric
light shone like spring sunshine, ana a
bouquet of pale, double violets yielded
sweetest incense TO the woman near whose
elbow they stood. She was very lovely
woman, beautiful with the gentle iragility
of white lily, with eyes like tremuous
stars and soft, yellow hair that fiuffed into
a shimmer.ng aureole about her small. deli
cate face. He mouth was fashioned with
a plaintive droop at either corner, but just
now il was parted with happy smiles and
happier signs.
With hands that were as small and
transparent as rose leaves she pushed aside
a pile of foreign guides. maps. time tables
and writing materials that lay on the
table before her and then nestled back
luXuriously in her chair.
'Ah. finished at last. What perfect

their hats in their hands. The bride

The lawn will be dotted with little
tables. where the refreshments will be
served. and there will be an orchestra
playing on the lawn and another in the
great hall of the chateau, which will be
decksd out in field flowers. Already
there have been dispersed among the
smart shops here orders for more than
thirty gowns for this June bride. But
then. a bride who is to take an extended
Wedding tour of three months and visit
all the fashionable watering places of
Europe has need of an extensive ward

The red blood flashed across Lyda's

He turned as he reached the door and
took one last look a her. There were no
tears in her eyes or commissions of grief
upon her face, only she was gray with the
grayness of approaching death, and in the
bright light she looked very worn and sad.
AS he closed the door a brighter flame
fiared and died on the hearth. Lydia had
thrown the slip of paper wherenn wGs

of the glowing coals.-Pick- Me-Up.

them very plain. Each bridesmaid be-
sides her bouquet will carry a fluffy
white parasol of silk and chiffon.
The bride has had a great many de-
signs of elegant wedding gowns sent
her from the different shops. One was
OF heavy wavy satin with a long train
and the seams at the front gore covered
with falls of real lace. The bodice was
covered with chiffon and trimmed in
real lace with the patterns traced in
real pearls.
But the bride who has chosen a high
neon out-of-door wedding has to eschew
heavy satin and trains and lace wells: so
that another model offered by a great
moGisye was decided on. 1t was very
lisAt and fluffy and was fashioned en-
tirely OF tulle or a white. shiny silk
with even more of glaze than taffeta
has.
THE WAISTS.
The tulle was drawn plainly over the
short yoke. There were four clusters
of very full pieces of tulle extending
from the shoulder seams to the bottom
of the yoke
When the tulle was gathered onto the
yoke In full 'baby-waist' fashion there
was fame of lace appliqued on and q
tiny tracing of seed pearls around the
design.
The high, straight collar is of white
satin, with wide frills of tulle sur
mounting it. and the crush girdle is
also of white satin. The skirt was very
wide with all the godets thrown to the
back and a crossing of the tulle with
full rose plaitings at the bottom.
The brides hat will be big Marie
Antoinette affair fastened of real lace
and white tulle: Yelling. orange bios

HUBBARD BROS. 81 CO 3 LETTER.
New York, Oct. 26.-( Especial. THE
movement of the crop mas ben too
large for the market and despite rela
lively favorable adyices from Liverpool
we have declined sharply from last
evenings quotations. Our adyices from
Europe show that this movement is ac-
cepted as pointing to yield largely in
excess of current estimates and that
the European spinners believe Mr..
Neill's first estimate will be too low.
They report another supplementary es-
innate from this authority, stating that
the Texas yield will probably be three
million bales and the total crop be-
tween 100000 and 100000 bales. The
steadiness of Europe in face of such
estimates and reports OF the condition
of trade abroad and of the low condi-
ton of spinners' stocks. The local
temper apears to be governed entirely
by the receipts at the ports and does
not look for anything permanent in
prices so long as receipts continue to
be so heavy. The large movement at
New Orleans and Houston estimated
for tomorrow caused the market to
close at the lowest prices of the day.
This movement is stimulated by the
stringency in the money market which
enables the exporters to buy on favor
able parity the shipments they had en-
gagged to make in November or Decem-
Der.
