CHAPTER XIV.

The most natural thing to suppose is
hat Della runs straight home, after her
interview with the parson, to repeat the
discovery she has made to Mrs. Bond.
But. strange to say, she does nothing OF
the sort. A hundred times during the
evening is it on the tip Of her tongue to
tell il, and n hundred times her courage
fails her, and she decides she will wait .
little longer and discover q little more,
before she makes her friend the recipient
Of her confidence.
The next day she anxiously awaits the
coming of Mr.. lie Mesurier, who has
promised to show her the vestry books In
the church so that she may know what
such books look like and be better able
t1 recognize them should she find any In
old Sirother's bundle.
When the parson comes she prepares to
accompany him at once.
What queer-looking thingsw she says,
IS she examines the rough, brown leather
covers in which the volumes are bound;
and the ink in which the first entries are
made is quite faded and pale. Fifty years
ago. Mr.. lie Mesurier. Is it possible this
book has lasted all that timer
Quite possible in Cloverfield, where we
do not celebrate half a dozen marriages

This last question Is addressed to the
pew opener, who is employed In cleaning
the church, and now beckons him myste-
rously to her side from the open vestry

MrSurier says, hurriedly, to Deiia, as ne
passes into the chancel.
She continues to turn over the record OF

name catches her eye-one name among
the hundreds she has gazed upon mechan-
ically-and she reads the record.

Coombes, spinster, of Southampton"
She looks at the date; 1t is that Of ff-
teen years ago-five years before the pres
ent Mr.. lie Mesurier came to reside in the
parish. Still, it seems strange that he
should not have noticed the name being
similar to his own; but perhaps, she ar
gues, clergymen never take the trouble to
read the records of marriages that occur
before they had charge of the parish.

try. THE name is precisely the same,

She turns to confront the clergyman, and

spread his face.

sometime. We learn that the last

NEWEST SPRING DESIGNS !
Miss Goodwin Tells How the Women of b.
Are Enjoying the Young Season. '''

Paris, April Cit is just after Easter
aud the spring fashions have declared
themselves. Paris women are rejoicing
that the tailor made gown Is no longer
simple and ars revealing in the fact that
there are buttons and grdles, broad lap
els and great deal of fancy braidlng upon
gowns that were formerly as plain and Sc
we're as they could be made.
To those who want to know the fashion
able figure this year only one answer can
be made. 1t is the slim figure. positively
attenuated in It's long drawn out lines. The
Fat woman is so far out of style that no
gowns are made for her and the poor
thing must rusticate in last seasons spring
gown and vegetate in made-over dresses.
All the new spring costumes are for slim
figures.
Yet there is one CLEAN OF comfort to BIS
found in the styles OF spring, and that is
their tendency to make the figure slender.
| Unless one has positively reached tho
| limit OF embonpont there is hope. The new
skirt which is fitted very close to the hips
| actually makes the hips look smaller.
| There is all that imaginary fullness to be
| filled out 1t is as tight as the glove upon
| the hand, yet like the tight glove 1t pro-
duces an artificial smallness.
The tailor-m made dress has little Jacket
| like waist. In the house the jacket is
slipped off and silk waist is worn under
| meath. But the silk waist must be abso-
lutey plain and almost skin tight. The
| outside jacket Is so close fitting that many
| women do not wear a waist underneath,
| preferring to put a Jacket on over a very
neat silk corset cover
The tailormade dress, far from simple,
is elaborate. Its skirt is trimmed with
| braiding; and one of these dresses which
was Of dark apple green, had an overskirt
effect in novelty goods which was put on
| the skirt in deep points. The waist had
broad vest OF pale green taffeta edged
with novelty goods. The hat was trimmed
with green taffeta with big white wings
| at the side.
| Another street dress was tailor made
gown built of silk cheviot in quartz gray.
1t had rolling cuffs and the collar had
rolling lapels to match the cuffs. They
were lined with aluminium gray taffeta.
The coat which was kind of Bolero. was
| short upon the back and sides and had a
long front tab almost as long as stole.
IL was trimmed with six very large smok-
ed pearl buttons.
A rough straw hat profusely trimmed
with pink roses and gray chiffon. was
worn with this dress.
A very stunning street costume was
built OF no less than four different ma
