your neck and tie il into a big bow under
your chin-the larger the better. Pull out
the ends of the bow uutf you have a
large broad effect. You can be assured
that you have very fashionable tie.
A great many people find it untidy TO
wear these fancy chiffon ties next to the
neck. The perspiration of the skin soft
ems the tie in one wearing, and the result
is that it looks solled and unfit for a sec

fon tie is then brought over the collar.
This protects the tie and makes it al
ways look fresh and dainty.

when you read that they are eight inches
wide at the ends. They narrow down in the
middle to mere band THIS band is car
RED twice around the neck and the ends
are then tied in regular four-in-hand fash

Below the knot the ends fall 10 the waist
where they broaden out in a most surpris-

they should go. small fancy pins are neces-
sary and this affords an opportunity for
the display of small diamond fancies One
of these fancies is a little clover leaf of
crystal embedded in a tiny band Of dia-
mouds. These can be obtained in the semi
precious jems which are quite the fancy
this year.
The semi-precious gems are worth par
agraph. Formerly all stones that were not
diamonds. rubies, emeralds pearls and
sapphires, were considered limitations"
and were relegated TO the Junk" counter.
But this idea has been put aside as a big
oted and erroneous one, and the semi-pre-
cious gem has come into vogue. 1t is pos
sible TO have stone which looks like the

chiffon butterfly bows. You can buy them
for about 20 cents each; and as they are

The little satin bow will always be pop

about six inches wide. The ends are made
pointed and hemmed. The bow is made a

CHAPTER IL

Hangman's Cross was an old di1ap;dated
monument, that may have marked a way
or was an indication of a manor 1t stood
near well or spring, and this led some to
believe that the cross had been erected
over fountain that had marvellous prop-
critics, or was supposed TO have such. At
the present day 1t possessed no remarkab Bile
qualities. The water oozed away in a mire
only few cattle drank of it and more be-
fouled 1t with their feet. The cross was of
granite and stood on a pedestal of three
stages. One of the arms had been knocked
off
Why 1t was called Hangman's Cross no
one knew. There was no legend connected
with the cross in which a hangsnaan plav-
ed part. But the place was regarded with
superstitious fear 1t was said that a fiery
serpent lay coiled up in the center Of the
PEDESTAL and that if disturbed Il crept
forth and drank water at the well; thereby
IL poisoned the water and as the overflow
ran away through mire and leaked down
INTO the main stream, 1t poisoned thar
stream, and brought plague and murrain
ON all cattle who drank of IT, Whenever
a disorder broke out among the sheen or
even among the people of the place. II was
always held that this was due to the drink
ing OF me water visiated by the fiery SER
pent of Hangmans Cross.
As to the destruction of the Cross no
one thought of it, that would be 70 let
loose the serpent. Indeed, so much afraid
were the people of it that they avoided ths
