1t was night. The air waited
thousand sweet scents from the old
garden. StroIling through It's unkept
paths, with eyes half-closed, but sensi-

the Sonora. His arm had strayed I'M
rebuked about her waist. The music
Of her voice wooed him like a sirens
song. Strange, strange that he blessed
the lucky chance that had brought him
TO this place. She stretched forth her
white arms and laid them lingeringly
about his neck. He stopped and kissed
her. Just then there was a sound OF
hastily retreatlng footsteps as II their
owner had grown lncautious, under the
influence OF some strong emotion.
The mooth hath eyes, and thousand
orbs are the stars. More than once be-
fore Somers fancied that he heard re-
treating footsteps as he returned from
s'olen meeting, but the cordial man
ner OF Don Gonzales had thrown him
completely off his guard
A moonlight ride had been arranged
upon the road that winds beside the
beach. At the last moment word was
sent that the Sonora was too Ill to 60
But Don Gonzales, with strange in

Alicia, but of an old court where flow

her name. the stars blinked in sym

Women and the War.

This war is a real boon to the philan-
thropic women of the country who belong
to that class which spends its time and
energies in planning entertainments. bene-
fits and festivals for various charitable
objects. Three months ago these wo-
men were ardently longing fer new ideas.
Conundrum suppers, pink teas. strawber-
ry festivals. birthday parties. poverty
parties. calico socials and experience par
ties had been given so often that they had
long since lost their power to charm the
dimes and quarters out of unwilling
pockets But the war has changed all
that. and the country. Is. threatened with
an epidemic of patriotic entertainments.
Dewey luncheons. military suppers. Ma
nila euchres and kindred happenings The
national colors and national airs are very
much in evidence at these affairs. which,
for the time being. have usurped all the
old-fashioned schemes for money raising.

1.-THE Girl Left Behind Me" has form
ed a club with her sister derelicts in At
lantic Highlands. n. J. The outbreak OF
the war and the departure for the front
of so many young men made the Old
Maids. Club a possibility. nay even ne
cessity. So in the two months since hos
tilities commenced the young girls OF the
town has been enjoying each others so
ciety in club form.
The scheme was developed in the brains
of two popular young girls. Misses Louise
and Susie Dawson. They are daughters
of Conductor Thomas Dawson, of the Jer-
sey Central They propose to create
club of maidens pledged to celibacy. VINO
would swear never to marry excepting
under certain conditions. They broached
the matter to the Misses Leonard. daugh-
ters of the mayor; Miss Posten. sister OF
a leading freeholder. and others. to the
total number of ten All were enthusiast
tic and at once became charter members.
The charter members took vows of pro-
yisional celibacy and also vowed deeply
that they would never, never reveal the
secret of the clubs existence. But one
new member Joined up to the time OF the
declaration of war with Spain. Since that
time applications have been numerous, Tor
MANY a lad has left his lass to go and

OF course, she cannot consider any
body's attentions while he Is gone to the
wars. So IT is believed that the club Will
outlast the war and then disband. its mo-
tive having been lost with the declara-
tion of peace and the return OF the boys.
While the very existence of the club
should have remained a deep secret. It's
existence has been known for some time
and now a portion of its laws have been
revealed. Here is what the member vows
when she becomes a member:
She swears by fearful oaths and with

news from the great military camp at
Chickamauga Park. where nearly 5000
of our stalwart boys are preparing for
the great conflict. Climatic changes. the

fraught with considerable danger. That
these dangers can be overcome Is a mat

Is taken to avoid duplication. although
the prevailing styles are carefully obsery-
ed as II the garments were to be worn by
a child. Sometimes II is apparent that
the appearance of the doll Is to be i'm
proved by cutting its hair and dressing
1t in a manner different from that to
which 1t Is accustomed. OF course any
such radical change is not made in a
doll without consultation with its little
mistress; but those from the stores are
changed to make the most of their natural
gifts in the line of beauty. Complexion
as well as general form must be consider
ed carefully in designing the trousseaus
of these miniature people. In word they
are treated in every way as II they were
real human beings moving in the best
society.
Generally speaking. there are four kinds
of dolls: those with baby faces and forms:
lady dolls having n clearly adult ex-
preston; boy dolls. and the ordinary doll
with the expression of child. For the
baby dolls we make In miniature precise
ly the same outfit that We do for the little
babies themselves. Lady dolls are dress
ed only on special instructions. The child
dolls are by far the most numerous. Out
fits for these are miniatures of the ward
robe of children, not more than five years
old. When the style of a trousscau has
been selected. the next step is that OF
mea suring. The measurements are made
carefully and entered in a record book
so that the owner of the doll may at any
time order by mail a new garment of any
description for her favorite and without
the need Of repeating the process OF meas
uring. cutting and fitting. From the pa
per patterns the Innings are cut and these
are fitted to the doll with as much care
as the average dressmaker exercises. This
is not a formality or make believe. Dolls
differ in form as widely as do persons.
What We term a trOusseau ranges In
price from so for very simple one up
to 500, and even more. The former con-
sists of one complete set of undergar-
ments-stockings shoes. a hat to match
the pique summer dress. three or four
dresses for party. street and house wear
and the necessary collars. cuffs and
aprons. The more elaborate trousseaus
have a change Of everything-a hat Tor
each dress, an outfit of bedding and every
dainty article to be found in the ward
robe of a luxuriously- -attired woman or
child. And every stitch is as well done
as If a child instead of a doll were to
wear the garment.

which the finishing is done. 1t may be
noted that the little loops of linen tape
which are used instead of buttonholes
on the undergarments are anchored into
