A new skirt and blouse grip enables
one TO fasteu the skirt and blouse IN
such a way that there is no fear OF

inward. The skirt band is then brought
over the grip, when both skirt and

he needed pair and he stepped in to
make the purchase. 1t was one of
those stores, often found in the crowd

than one line of trade. In this
instance the other half was used as a
hair store. While waiting for his
change, Ralph Alden heard a sweet,

entered his private Office one morning
and said:
"Mr. Alden, have come TO tell you

CHAPTER xIIr.

A most unexpected event happened
ere long-the rector was invited to
dinner. II appears trivial incident in
itself. hardly worth recording. but it
led to greater events. 1t must have
been at Ulric's suggestion. Sir Ru-
dolph never asked any human being
near the place. and Lady Culmore
dreaded seeing any one. may men,
ton that Uric had pretended to be
dreadfullv jealous of the rector and
his baby-son. and that, was both
young and foolish enough to be
flattered by his jealousy, and thought
it great thing to have such a tall,
handsome man jealous about me.
One bright sunny morning, when |
was starting with Uric for the lake,
