fiounce of plaited cream chiffon run ming from the belt at the left side of the skirt down to the foot and around. Quaint bead embroidery is introduced at the neck, the belt is of full silk, and everything is done to give the costume the appearance of having been gathered from some trunk long ago.
 At no time is the house gown more ap- preeiated than in hot summer weather. when even the most comfortable of out door costumes seems unbearable.
 It's very daintlness makes one cool, and when the thinnest of materials is used, and the laciest trimmings, the delight of it's owner is unbounded.
 Of course every house gown has Vatican back. That is as essential as the thin material. The front is loose and belted in, often falling from yoke This yoke is usually made of white lawn, finely tucked, no matter what the gown material. The yoke extends across the back; also, with the Watteau falling below.
 A novel house gown is being worn by young bride. It is of cashmere in robins egg blue, with Watteau back and rather full front.
 At the neck is a deep point, the gown opening away in broad sailor collar, lined with narrow green ribbon. Cream lace is used entirely for the sleeves, edges the collar, and falls in full jabot down the front.

my boat upon the inner shore and walked around the point till l could see out on the lake. When 1 got there l saw little schooner which at first thought was the Lady of the Lake, but pretty soon 1 saw she wasn't. She was British gunboat, commodore, and I'd just made up my mind to that, when she came about and the first thing knew three gigs put out from her and started for the shore."
 Lewis stopped moment, thrown into confusion by the manner of the com modore, who quickly sat up in bed and was giving him a look that seemed to pierce him through and through.
 .'Go on" said the commodore, sharp ly.
 Well" resumed Lewis, ''I thought I'd run at first, but something seemed to hold me there watching those gigs. They had six men in each of 'em, and I didn't dare to run for fear I'd be seen; so 1 climbed up tree and kept watch ing the boats. They came straight for the place where 1 was, and 1 didn't know but that they were after me especially when they drew up the gigs and sat down on the ground right under the tree where 1 was. Commodore Chauncey. those men are going to come here tonight and set fire to the Pike and burn up the stores if they can."
 The commodore leaped quickly out of the bed, rang the bell for his attendant, and while he was dressing piled Lewis with searching questions.
 "Send Lieut.. Martin to me imme- diately," stid the officer to his servant as he entered the room. "You know what immediately means, don't you?"
 In a few minutes Lieut.. Martin en- tered the room, and the commodore had related Lewis story.
 If the young rascals told the truth we've no time to lose," replied the lieu tenant What time did you say they would start?''
 Ten o'clock" replied Lewis. He did not relish the epithet the young officer had applied to him.
 You'll take him with you. He'll be of service in showing the way" said the commodore, pointing to Lewis. He's told the truth, of that am certain"
 This was more than Lewis had counted upon, but he followed obedi- ently as the lieutenant hurriedly left to carry out the orders. The guards on all the vessels were increased, six gigs were fitted with men, and at quarter rast ten o'clock they started Lieut.. Martins gig, in which Lewis was seated near that officer. leading the way.
 The increased guards would ward off the danger to the fleet, butpthe plan for the gigs was, if they did not fall in with the gigs of the enemy, to lie in wait near the entrance to the harbor and cut them off when they should attempt to return. Lewis knew that the young of-

modore this minute. Don't keep me waiting here. Tell him l must see him.
 The commodore isn't feelin' very good tonight, and I don't believe he'd see you, Lewis" replied Mrs. Fox, still hesitating.
 'sYes, he will. I know he will. Go right up to his rooms and tell him he must see me. It's matter of life and death"
 Well, I'll see,n said the woman. "Come in. I'm afraid he's in bed, but I'll go rap on his door, as ye seem so set on it.
 Lewis waited at the foot of the stair way, and in few minutes Mrs. Fox returned and said: The commodore says he's in bed and you'd better wait till mornin'."
 q can't wait till morning. Imust see him this minutel"
 "Well, he said if ye wouldn't be put off nohow, to let ye come up. I'll hold the light for ye."
 Lewis ran hastily up the stairs and was admitted into the room. A candle burning on the table served to show how pale the officers face was, as he lay on his bed Lewis knew that he was i'll, for the report had been current in Sackett's Harbor, but when he saw the sick man before him, and realized the high position he had, he was confused, and hardly could collect his thoughts.
 ''M ell, my boy" said the commodore. kindly, what brings you here?"
 Commodore Chauncey," said Lewis, his courage returning at the kindly welcome, "1 was out on Point Peninsula this afternoon. I'd landed and drawn

Yesterday, in one of the big shops. saw woman being fitted with coarse crash skirt. It was a beautiful reseda green. and she wore with it bodice of coral pink wash silk. She was ta1 dark haired woman, and the gown well became her.
 Reseda green is not the only new col bring in crash gowns. There is another "a dull, purplish pink, almost red in tone. It is most effective when com bined with white.
 Denim gowns are once more popular for outing. but the quality of the mas terial is much finer than that of last year. Itis softer, also, and has lost that stiff, ungainly 'hAng' which was so great an objection.
 Therefore, 1t is that denim lends itself so prettily to the new pouched jacket.
 Such a jacket is of light snuff brown in color, trimmed with broad, black braid. The braid is used in point on the reyers, is traced in point up each side from the belt and forms the cuff.
 Although the bodice is in reality round, simulated basques are intro- duced by the use of braid on the skirt of the gown
 A brown alligator belt is worn with the costume.
 Pieturesqueness is essential to the general utility gown-that gown which may be worn on any occasion, and is ai- ways appropriate.
 The picturesque gown has always a wide skirt. and if possible, is made of silk or Liberty satin. When they are too expensive, a ladies, cloth or drap dsete should be used.
 A New York maid, with novel ideas, wore, the other day. gown of Russian blue drap d'ete. The skirt was very full and very long. with the fullness mainly at the back. The peculiarly of the skirt. however. lay in trimming. For while the front was severely plain, the back widths were massed with heavy black braid embroidery.
 To carry out the quaint effect, tie bodice of cream silk, was of very deep and brown shade. and looked as though it might have been made from her grandmother's ball gown. Over it she
