MRS. ASTOR'S CHAIR COVERS

When Mrs. John Jacob Astor went to
Genoa, Italy, year go she left word that
her chairs in the parlor library, guest and
sleeping rooms should be covered with a
fine cretonne to preserve them from dust.
There were 300 of them. few days before
sailing she revoked the order and sent for
the material. She also ordered that a slip
cutter be sent to her house. Now" she
said to the slip cutter, Il want you to
measure these chairs and sew one cover.
Then give me the patterns and we will
make the remainder of the covers at home
The slip cutter, though loath to lose so
excellent Job for his establishment, com
piled with the wishes of this industrious
room personally experimenting the max
ing of the chair covers. With small model
upon stand in front of her, she basted
the covers and instructed her maids how
to put them together. BY that little econo-
mical move the wife Of a millionaire kept
her home staff employed and fitted out her
house withthe prettiest Of slip covers. They
were so ornamental that they have re-
NAMED upon the chairs ever since.
To make covers for chairs and many
people desire to do so for a change as
well as to save the more expensive cover
ing-it will be found that the secret lies
in the treatment of the edges. strictly
tailor made look must prevail. With
loose threaded fabrics It is good plan
to run a mucilage brush, wet with photog-
rapher's glue, along the raw edges before
stitching. All the sewing must be done
by machine.

air of the May night flooded the cham

pass oat into the garden beyond, and
when he returned to the table he had a
lantern in his hand. Nerved by all the
resolution of daring and cruelty, he was
quick TO act that his crime might be hidden
from meu and from his own eyes. Ever

face as he moved swiftly about the room.

anv sound in the house. But the silence
OF ultimate night reigned in the chateau
No human thing moved there. Not
clock ticked: not a door creaked. The
wind nfoaned its song of solitude in the
poplars of the garden-but the Count was
alone with his victim.
Twice he walked up to the body OF
the man he believed to be dead; twice
lie drew back with a tremor of nerve
and a gesture of repugnance. When at
last his iron viii conquered, he stopped
quickly, and, bringing all his great
strength to the work, he began TO drag
the body toward the window. 1t was
a hard effort even for him; and he had
but begun it when loud sound like

a great cry, and o stagger from the room
as though unnumhered phantoms had come

heard the sound well enough, and began to

chateau.
Nor was the count content until he had
searched even the garrets, and had told
himself hundred times that the wind
cheated him in this alarm. When at last
he returned to the dining-room his step
was stronger, and his will more sure. He
picked up the body now as though il had
been a common burden, and, staggering
from step TO step down the stairs, upon
which the window opened, he dragged it
into the garden, and so out into the moon

dewy grass There for a moment he

she became twenty-five years of age. She
became engaged to EnmonS Blaine, who

She was then twenty-five years old.
There was an ante-nuptial agreement, III
which, ii she left no children, the property

Count of Brives, then it would be very
different thing, for he could hurry back
from the war and make haste to deal
with those estates which Count Charles
treated so Ill. But he told himself again
and again that all his visions of the night
had been phantoms of sleep come to tor

He was still Eugene, the dragoon, with
