SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INsTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers of THE En-
oUIRER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand it
just the same as though they had read it
all from the beginning, we here give a
synopsis of that portion of it which has
already been published:
Lola Turrian, whose father, an exile for
crime, is at the mercy of her husband,
goaded by Turrian, pushes him from the
DEVILS rock and supposes him to be dead.
Sir Jaffray Walcote, partly pledged to his
cousin, Beryl Leycester, proposes to Lola
and is finally accepted. Beryl, though
she loves Sir Jaffray, magnanimously ac-
quiesces. Lola and Sir Jaffray are mar
ried and leave England. Turrian makes
his appearance at the home of Beryl Ley
cester and learns of Lola's marriage. Sir
Jaffray and Lola return to England,
where Lola meets Turrian and ignores the
fact that she is his wife, introducing him
to Sir Jaffray as musician from whom
she had taken lessons, but secretly grants
him an allowance. Turrian tells OF a
friend who was pushed from the Devils
rock by his wife, and Beryl recognizes
those referred to. She declares to Turrlan
that she has proof of his marriage to Lola
Crawshay and warns him to leave the
house the next morning.

HOW THEY WERE MARRIED.

A reporter for the st. Louis Republic
has been talking with the wife of "a
popular preacher" about the marriages
which have taken place at the parson-
age. She has witnessed good many,
some of them attended with highly
ludicrous Incidents. One day, she
says, a fne-looking young farmer,
roughly dressed, with an ox-whip in
bis hand, knocked at the door and
was shown into the parlor. There he
laid his whip upon the mantlepiece,
and proceeded to make known his
errand.
II say, parson," he began, with
some embarrassment, eff I was to fig
ger roun' today till I got things fixed
to my notion, could I come up here
long with a girl an git married ?"
"Certainly," said the minister, "cer-
tainly. What seems to be the trou-
ble?"
"Wal," answered the farmer, "I've
not my license-that's all ready; / got
it morn'n week ago. An now I've

things. But l amt said nothing to
the girl yet. She's in town today,
though, an / seen her in store
a-buyin' some things, an I'm a.goin'
right down an ask her.
He took down his whip, flung ii
over his shoulder, and went out of the
door and down the street. The minis
ter and his wife laughed, but the wife
went often to the window and peeped
out to see whether the expectaut
couple were in sight.
More than an hour passed she had
nearly given them up; but at last they
appeared-the girl, as the parsons
wife expresses it, "a perfect little beau
ty, and as neat as PIN"
II had lots O. trouble a-fndin' her" /"
said the farmer by way of explanation,
and then they stood up and were mar
ried, while the bride seemed hardly TO
know whether to smile or to weep.
But when the ceremony was over, and
the minister's wife said something to
her about it's being 80 sudden, she
answered, while tears brimmed her
eyes: "But you see, ma'am, I've loved
Jim ever since I can remember, and
he was just too stupid to find it out. I"

MAKING A ROYAL BED.
One Way King Henry Had of Giving
Trouble.

An old manuscript gives the following
account of how his majesty, Henry VII,
ordered the making of his royal bed.
THE curtains must be drawn, and a
gentleman usher must hold the curtains
together; then must two squires Of the
body stand at the beds head, and two
yeomen of the crown at the beds feet.
and all the stuff be laid safe at the beds
feet on a carpet till the contents of the
pilliasse be remade. Then a yeOman to
leap upon the bed, and roll him up and
down, and array the litter; then 10 lay
down the canvas again, then the feather
bed, and beat it WELL and make it even
and smooth. Then take the fustian (un-
der blankeD, and cast 1t upon the bed
without any wrinkles, and the sheet in
the same wise
The sheet is now stroked smooth, tuck
ed under the feather bed. and over it is
laid ''t'other stuff" that is to say, the
upper sheet blankets, and fustian. and
the covering of martens fur and ermine.
a sheet of Rennes was laid on the spot
destined for the pillows, and a large run
of ermine was placed over the bed and
the bedclothes were brought up TO the
edge of the pillow and neatly turned
down. Finally "a yeoman was required
to beat the pillows, and TO throw them
on the bed head, as pleased as the kings
gcace.''

der loveliness to the greatest advantage.
This graceful and aristocratic young w.
man was born to high estate as the
Baroness Conyers. There are in this day
few English barons who hold their title
by long descent, but Lady Marlborough,
with her sister Violet was the heiress of
her father. Baron Conyers, whose family
were ennobled in the sixteenth century.
The two young Baronesses Conyers in
herited not only their fathers title but
his large fortune and his beauty. They
entered London society only few years
ago and became promptly famous for
their good looks and unusual stature. for
both of them measured but an inch short
of six feet in height.
Baroness Marcia very soon gave her
hand in marriage to Lord Marlborough,
while her sister was won by Lord Powis
Lady Marlborough is one of the few En-
glish beauties who does not possess the
usual English brilliancy of complexion.
Her cheeks are as c.early and health y
pale as those of South American beau
ty; her eyes are brown and her hair Is a
very remarkable bronze gold. The eX-
ceeding slenderness and graceful ness of
her figure is due in great part to her love
for horseback exercise, and in the county
of Lincolnshire, where her husband owns
two great estates, she lives at beautiful
Brocklesby hall, preferring the society
of her horses and dogs and country
friends, very often, to the joys and tri-
umphs of the London seasons.

ever in emphasis laid on the heads of
pins that fasten on such gorgeous ltt e
topknots. With some of these bonnets
they sell pins with ename.ed flower heads
to exactly match the blossoms in the
toque.
A Mauser bullet of highly polished gold
or silver and tipped with diamond spark
is another oddity, while most interesting
of all are pieces of agate selected and
cut TO resemble as nearly as possible the
ball Of the human eye and surrounded by
a fine line of diamonds Gold beaks Of
birds with pebble of jade caught in the
points and tiny tigers heads in the most
brilliant enamel are, in true or mock
gems. the most popular of the hat skew
ers.
Last year gun metal was easily the
dominant novelty in jewelry and some
handsome effects are still achieved by
sinking in its polished dark skin on UNI
brella handles. buckles, buttons. etc, tiny
colored Jewels or diamonds. Very soon,
however, the public will find a new treas
ure in colored steel.
BY some process known to metal work.
ers, steel can, in the furnace, be dyed al
most any color. and marvellous greens,
blues and lilacs, reds, yellows and inter-
mingled tones on steel are displayed by
lne lHTlIty JtNtlers. "A Ecu sNtcl WAUGH
with in-wrought initials in gold is a new
and lovely trifie, or a walrus hide card
case with wonderful green steel bindings
is the type of attraction for which wo-
men are forgetting even the precious
metals.
Among the other coquetries of the mo-
ment are card cases of leather inlaid with
leather. That is to say, a fiat cigar
brown leather case will be fancifully
treated with an inlay of small fruit and
vines in green, blue or red leather. Paris
sends US these, and some of them are
small masterpieces. A green case, for
instance. will have decoration of purple
grape clusters, or wine red cover may
show in miniature the apples of Hesper-
ides. From Paris as we'll come card cases
in the exact form of correspondence en-
velopes. Where the point of the flap hts
down a metal disk, bearing the owners
coat of arms, forms the catch and locks
the cards in.
Fringe is a species of trimming that
seemed to have been e1ectually cast
aside, but of late considerable decoration
of fancy bodices, etc, has been done
with small ruffies of silk having their
edges raveled for a space of half to three
quarters of an inch. This might be safe
ly called a harbinger of fringe, just as
we see Indications on all sides of the
colored embroidery regaining It's place
on handkerchiefs. A smart little mou-
choir of white batiste will have its edges
cut in points, and the points buttonholed
with colored thread. If this is not done,
then a small knot of violets in the nat
ural tints Is worked in one corner, and
more unique still is the owners coat-of-
arms done In one corner in colors.
Rather coarse, black nets. with fiat
squares and circles woven in the mesh

tiers where women agree to prefer black.

NECKTIE SALES.
New Device for Raising Funds for
Sick Soldiers

New Device for Raising Funds for
Sick Soldiers.
The sick soldiers, and others that have
claim upon sweet charity. may now
breathe a sigh of comfort and rest as
sured that their needs will be well at
tended to; for the ingenuity of the fin de
steele young woman has been turned to
account at the stock and necktie sales
that are the fad of the present moment.
At LenoX, Newport, Bernardsville and,
In fact, wherever the fashionable young
woman of the East makes her headquar-
ters, some good round sums of money
have recently been made by these novel
sales.
THE idea is one girl said that both
men and women wear stocks and neck
ties, and of all sorts and conditions. They
are like the Webster's spelling book
something that everybody wants. This
does away with the general complaint
at sales of fancy articles that nothing
could be found for men or boys to buy;
that the knick-knacks were all those dear
to the hearts of women. AT the stock and
necktie sales everybody finds just what
he has been secretly longing for await
ing him.
The sales are managed on true business
principles. One of the girls is deputized
to buy remnants of ribbons and other
goods that are well adapted to the pur-
pose. Then for several days there are
regular sewing bees, when they are made
up after the latest imported models that

mosphere of the place is gay with the
chatter of the sale that is to be.
Cards and notices are distributed that
apprise the neighborhood of the event:
and as soon as the house is thrown open
to receive the buyers, the rooms become
hub-bub of fun and frivolity, while all
the time the dear old filthy lucre is quiet
ly being slipped into the boxes under the
tables Stocks, four-in-hands, ascots,
| butterfly ties and every whim of fashion
in neck-gear is displayed for day and
| evening wear.
Some of the girls give lessons in ty-
| ing the bows and cravats; for this is Oft
| en- very complicated affair. The lessons
are paid for by time. cents minute.
which rather puts premium on quick
! ness of comprehension; but it is to be
| doubted whether strict attention is al
ways given, as usually these cash boxes
| are quite full.
| Sometimes. to add to the receipts, tea
| and bread and butter are served. This
| is really q very good plan; for when one
has been recklessly eXtravagant and en-
| ticed to buy many more of these pretty
! things than his purse sanctions, there is
nothing quite so soothing TO the nerves as
cup of tea: even though it also has to
| be paid high price for.
