Lost aer Pension

The death OF Miss Anna Swanwicz
in London has brought out many curl
Gus anecdotes of the generation just
passing out of sight. Miss Swanwick
was a quaint, Old-fashioned gentle
woman, scholar and a poet, who had
known in her day the men and wom-
en- best worth knowing in England.
The Manchester Guardian states that
Mr.. Gladstone, when prime minister,
met her, and was charmed by her ac-
complishments and old-time courtesy.
He determined to bestow literary
pension ON her, provided her cireum-
stances were such as to make it ae-
ceptable to her. He had no way of
finding out, and was puZzling over it,
when he received an invitation to dine
with her. As he drove to the house,

Besides, the cloak is cosy and warm, and
its big bag of sleeves may serve to pocket
away slippers, extra gloves End handker-
chiefs, the bag that holds the opera
glasses or the powder puff. A very pref
ty model Of this sort appears here. The
very tall woman realizes that a long
princess cloak clinging all the way down
may make her bit like a bean POLE To
such a figure the sleeved cloak is a
blessing. Very baggy sleeves that are
hardly more than big lunches of drapery
escape below the shoulder soaring or
Antoinette hood folds that mark the edge
of the yoke. Suck fullness only empha-
sizes the slenderness of the sweeping out
line in the rest.
The materials in the example sketched
were white broadcloth, white satin bro
caded in pink and green. and white lace.
The variety of materials in new wraps Is
greater than is usual. Combinations of
rich stuffs appear in nearly all the swag-
ger cleaks. White cloths oyerlaid with
lace or with applique of taffeta silk COM
bine stunningly with chiffon or liberty
silk much crinkled and mounted on a
foundation Of net. In many cases the
cloaks that look so light and fluffy are
really floating from 4 foundation of
channels. or even on an interlining of fur.
All cloaks have high collars. 1t is found
that very high collar that rolls awsy
from the head at its top is less likely TO
muss the hair and pull down the back
locks than is the half-high sort. All col
lars are faced with a view to setting off
complexion and hair. Lace, fur, folded
chiffon or panne velvet is used for this.
The group of the shorter wraps that is
pictured here shows plainly that more is
to be got out of an evening wrap than
queenly stateliness. If that is desired,
then the long sweeping cloak is the me-
dunn. But for richness. ingenuity and
celebrations that are Enthusiastically

knowsl and variations ON styles, but just
now material is the main point. Taffeta
showing lines OF hemstitching, and silk
and satin stenciled out In designs of vary
ing elaborateness, the openings often
corded around the edges. or finished with
what looks ike buttonhole stitch. are
very pretty. Tucked taffeta with inser-
tons of lace. and silk muslins with rows
of pufings separated by lines of corded
stitchings, these are some of the many
elaborate arrangements. In general, the
lines Of the figure are followed pretty
closely, but there are no darts. Fronts
are all straight, and belts are drawn very
low.
The yoke is not displaced. It appears
in all depths, either set oFer-she bodice
that is. its edge overlapping the material
of the bodice-or set under the cut-out
edge. These Jokes very often continue
their line over the shoulder. Where they
do not. the shoulders usually take on
squareness from tuek4ng. puffery or other
trimming at the top. Even when the
sleeve is perfectly plain at the top the
shoulders are built cut square. Fash

especial significance. Others fasten
frankly at the side. the opening running
from the shoulder to the front Of the
belt usually. Another sort fastens down
the front. These usually are turned away
at the throat in pretty reyers that expose
the dicky yoke. In some cases there is
a front panel or waistcoat piece let in,
and the bodice fastens at one side OF this.

Some are cut in long points front and

lent STYLE. Others that follow the still
popular fashion of sweeping length at
The back and rounding up to the neck

space that otherwise might be open. The
cloak OF the first design is sometimes
elaborated TO half length by 4 deep

This fiounce sets out over the skirt grace

CHAPTER IX.

Dick had made his discovery on Mon
day. Wednesday evening he went to
singing school.
The mark on Wayne's face had turned
from purple 10 dark green, and was the
subject of much merriment Among the
irreverent youngsters who attended sing
ing school, Wayne heard them, and
knew what they were laughing about,
but he pretended not to notice it.
Dick had ceased TO take an active part
in the singing school He did not feel
like receiving Instructions from man
he disliked as much as he did Wayne.
But he would not stay away from IT.
LIZ he were to do that he knew that 1t
would be said he stayed away on account
of the trouble between him and Mamie
and the singing master. So, to show
them that he wasn't inclined TO with
draw from society on their account, he
came quite often, and was to all appear
Gnces the same jolly Dick Brayton that
he had always been. But If | tell the
| truth, | have to record that a large
share of his good spirits was assumed.
Often when he looked at Mamie, and
made some laughing remark to whoever
sat next 10 him, he didn't feel the least
| like laughing. Try rs be might, he could
not get over his fondness for the girl
who had Tilted him. He knew that she
| had done wrong. and felt that she was
not the girl he had thought her 10 be;
! but. in spite of all that, she was still

been more TO him than any other girl
could ever be. he had 10 acknowledge TO
himself. much as be disliked TO do so.

When singing school was over. aud
/ Mamie walked off home with Wayne. a
feeling of depression came over hlm.
Il don't want TO go home yet. he
thought. I'm blue as milestone to-

and IL she's up when l get there Ill stop

So ne walked away from the school

Perhaps she had found out that what ne
