another of the same character will be

~ NE Of the remarkable persons in
London is Mime. Machinka, the
~ beautiful society woman who
designs the gowns of the court and the
Marlborough House set. She is re-
markable not only for the ability which
has brought her an immense income
and the title of 1.-THE Worth of London"
but because she Is a woman of high
birth and fashion. Offers of splendid
salaries from both Worth and Paquin
have been received by her in order to
induce her to give up her own business
and go to Paris to design costumes for
them. There are. of course, many clev-
err modistes. but Mime. Machinka is not
dressmaker. She is designer or in
ventor OF costumes and she is in trade

Mrs. Shuffiebotham sprang wildly

was a sound like the Tapping of mighty
wings or as of sheets and blankets toss

Then came an agonized. long drawn out
howl, and her name was pronounced.
Beneath all its notes of distress she
knew that voice. In velvety murmurs
