A gray. damp morning: the beauty of

Why hurry or forestall it?
1t was o'clock when he awoke. The

knocked at his door. 1t was the steward
with a letter.
Miss Williamson gave 1t to me this morn
ing. sir She changed her mind about going
to Naples. and was put ashore with her lug
gage; she said she was going by train some
where else. Travers took the letter with
out word. He shut the door and stood
staring at 1t, listening the while to the
stewards retreating steps along the pass
age; they sounded like the drawing back
of life. Then he tore open the envelope. 1t
contained a little bit of folded newspaper
and note, which he read at glance:
Il told you that l stood on the steps be-
fore the open door of heaven; now l am
closing Ii upon myself forever Goodbye"
He put 1t down bewildered and unfolded
the bit of newspaper. 1t was evidently a cut
ting-a portrait OF Miss Williamson, badly
reproduced. but unmistakable. Under 1t was
printed: Mrs. Waylett Acquitted last week
for numbering her husband" Against it, in
pencil. was the date Of a year ago. and the
words, Il did it." He looked at them stupe-

her kisses. and her arms how they had
stolen closer and closer round his neck.

breakfast?

to the letter and the bit of newspaper.

gathered up the ashes. and, lest any one
should enter and divine what they had
been, he put them through the portfolio;

New Hats and Gowns.

Dressmakers are preparing many black
toilets. A very lovely gown is in black vel
vet, with straps of satin stitched on the
skirt, the bolero corsage opening over a
narrow vest of black silk, embroidered In
white, with turnover collar and cuffs to
correspond. The waistband, also in the
same embroidery, is pointed in front and
very narrow at the back. Black satin is
again much used for both evening and day
toilets-the supple. rather dun satin which
drapes so becomingly. This material is
generally trimmed with black velvet, either
in points. reaching from the hem to half
way up the skirt. tapering off by the knee,
or in the old-faShioned bands. mounted on
the bias ruffie that is often used in well-
cut skirts.
Crepe de chine is enormously worn. a
new, very fine make, embroidered in dun
paillettes, being immensely sought after,
but the price is prohibitory for most purses.
An exquisite house gown is made in this
fine Grape, with soft under1ounces of
plated mousseline de sole. The robe is
princess in form. the long sleeves opening
over white mousseline de sole nder-
sleeves with very fine jet embroidery
running round the edges of the front and
where the crepe de chine joins the founces
of mousseline de sole. The neck, slightly
decollete, is finished by an old-fashioned
pointed collar of point de venise lace A
high dog collar of jet beads is worn with
this dress.
Hats are very low and wide, and the hair
is dressed almost invariably low on the

built upon forces us to wear the hair in

Ten days later the Arab had battled

treacherous Gulf Of Lyons and was within

The costliest picture in the world is
owned by the duke of Marlborough,
who has large and very expensive col
lection of pictures which has come
down to him from the original duke
of Marlborough, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The rarest of them
is the Blenheim Madonna" painted by
Raphael in 1907 and now valued at
$3.50 COO. The picture was originally
painted for the Church of the Servi at
Perugia. 1t is eight feet high, repre-
senting the madonna and child seated
on a throne, with figure of st. John
the Baptist on the left and that of ST.
Nicholas of Bari on the right, the last
two being life size. Its high value is
due to the fact that it is one of the best
preserved of the pictures of Raphael
which are now in existence. It has been
proposed that the British government
buy this picture. Blenheim palace is
so-called in honor of the battle which
the English, under the duke of Mayi-
borough won over the French. and was
given to the great soldier by Queen
Anne. Every year a little flag worked
with fieur- r-de-lis is sent to Windsor
castle by way of rent and hung upon
the walls of the castle.
