season has In a ma jority OF cases eome
loose stole effect in front, and the same
thing is true of most OF the coats having
short basques or skirts. The postillton
tops are still worn with the beltcd Etons,
though not 80 generally as they were last
season, the present tendency being to use
short basque or skirt all around.
Norfolk jackets are always in good form
for the outing costume and upon a girlish
figure are admirable, but the fat girl or the
woman inclined to matronly lines should
shrn them. Natty sack coats. always Sc
verely tailored are popular with the outing
skirt and are exceedingly comfortable.
The ubiquitous cape and cape collar
have invaded the province Of the outing
costume, but must be warily watched, for
they easily become inappropriate. It Ia
question whether the deep cape collar really
has place upon the correct outing costume,
which should be, above all else, trim and
serviceable.
Such a collar is more or less In the way,
prevents absolute freedom OF movement,
is likely to flap and flop in the wind and IL
easily unused or crushed out OF shape.
On a frock intended only for travelling
or ordinary walking, the deep cape in severe
form may be satisfactory, but for rough
outing wear it Is nuisance and should be
taboo. Small double or triple capes are
less ohjectio nable.
The scarf is an important feature OF many OF
the most charming outing suits, and affords
a welcome note Of color and Of relief from
the simple tailored lines. 1t is introduced
in innumerable ways, knotted under collars,
laced through large worked eyelets and
run through Sits in the cloth.
One Of the sketches printed here shows
a popular idea In the soft silk scarf laced
through eyelets in the stole front collar.
Red is particularly liked for the scarf effects,
though any effective shade may be used.
Not in many a season has note Of red
appeared 80 insistently throughout all Of
fashions realm.
One famous London tailor has contrived
a combination outing suit which has found
favor with fashionable English women
and has been copied by some New York
makers. The close fitting, plain coat and
gored short skirt, clearing the ground by
Ave inches. have nothing unusual about
them, but the unique feature Of the costume
is an additional skirt by which the suit
may be in twinkling converted into a
long skirt costume.
This supplementary skirt is silk down
to the knees, but from there is a gored,
flowing fiounce of the cloth over which
the short skirt falls closely In a manner

The Duke Enters the Lists.

T. "Oh, resistless necessity" he cried.
I am as safe as on a wooden horse.
Here I stand. Let others have their
heads split or their bodies broken.
Triboulet, like the gods, views the
carnage from affair.""
While this bit Of unexpected comedy
riveted the attention Of the spectators
the duke and his followers had slowly
ridden to their side of the Enclosure.
Here lowered the squires, adjusting a
stirrup, giving last turn to a strap
or testing a bride or girth. Behind
stood the heralds, trumpeters and pur-
suivants in their bright garb Of office.
At his own solicitation had the duke
been assigned an active part in the
days entertainment The king, fear
ing for the safety Of his guest and the
possible postponement of the marriage
should any injury befall him, had
sought to dissuade him from his pur-
pose, but the other had laughed bois-
terously at the monarch's fears and
sworn he would break lance for his
lady love that day. Francis, too gall
liant a knight himself to interpose fur

In keeping with the traditions of the
lists, thereupon had ordered the best
charger in his stables to be placed at
the disposal of the princess betrothed,
and again nodded his appreciation
upon the appearance of the duke In
the ring. But at least one person in
that vast assemblage was far from
sharing the monarch's comp1aisant
mood.

heretofore been filled with bitterness
upon witnessing festal honors to a
mere presumptuous free baron, what

hunchback. Like the famous steed
builded by the Greeks, Triboulet's
wooden horse contained unknown
elements of danger, and even while
the Jester was congratulating himself
upon absolute immunity from peril
the nag started and quivered. At the
flourish of the brass instruments his
ears, that had lain back, were now
pr1cked forward; he had once, in his
palmy, coltish time, been a battle
charger, and, perhaps, some memory
Of those martial days, the waving Of
plumes and the clashing Of arms, re-
aWoke his combative spirit Of old. Or,
possibly his brute intelligence pene-
trated the sdWarf's knavish pusillan-
unity, and, changing his tactics that
ne might still range on the side of
perversity, resolved. himself from i'm
MOBILITY into a rampant agency Of mo-
ton. F'uriously he dashed into the
thick Of the conflict, and Triboulet,
paralyzed with fear and dropping his
lance, was borne helplessly onward,
execrating the nag and his capricious
humor. ,. &
Opposed to the hunchback rode
Vlllot, who, upon reaching the dwarf
and observing his predicament, good
was unable to avoid striking him with
the handle as he rode by. To Tri-
boulet that blow, reaching in
the hollow depths of his steel
shell, sounded like the dissolution
OF the universe, and, not doubling his
last moment had come, mechanically
he fell to earth, aband oning to it's
own resources the equine Fate that
had served him so i'll. Striking the
ground, and, still finding. conscious
ness had not deserted him, instinct
prompted him to demonstrate that if
his armor was too heavy for him to
run away in, as the snithy. valet de
chambre had significantly affirmed
yet he possessed the undoubted
strength and ability to crawl Thus,
amid the outlaws of the peasantry
and the smiles Of the mobiles, he swift
~ scampered from beneath the horses
feet, hurriedly left the scene of strife,
and finally reached triumphantly the
haven of his tent.

I5Jaqueline, was of a more serious ma
ture. As the lines swept together,
with the dust rising before, she per-
ce1ved that the dukes trooper had
