You relieved Brewer, and until 9
o'clock you were absolutely alone
there. You didn't even have one Of
the boys with you"
THAT'S right" answered Brooke.
"And it won't happen again. Nobody
ought to be alone down there. But
there was such an awful deluge OF
rain. and the boys were drenched to
the skin. Brewer sent them both
home"
Its quite long way from the sta
ton to the theater. isn't it?" inquired
Hall.
A considerable interval Of silence
followed this question. Brooke glanced
uneasily from Hall to the girl, and
then he seemed to study her for al
most minute intently. AS Marie had
no idea what Hall meant she could
think of nothing to say. She was con-
scious of vague terror.
YES" said Brooke at last in q
changed tone. Its nearly the whole
width of the town."
"Too far to send flowers on such q
night" said Hall, especially when
you haven't anybody to send"
Brooke uttered q confused. unintel-
ligible exclamation. 1t sounded like

Brooke did not reply. He was looking
at Marie. The girl seemed dazed.
"Of course this can't be true" she
said, as if she were thinking aloud.
Still Brooke said nothing. He took off
his hat and put up his hand to his fore
head Then he dropped the hat into
the chair in front of him.

THE RELIGIONS OF RUSSIA.
There are 4e, 15o, 900 Dissenters from
 the Orthodox Church.

There are 4o, 1 150, 900 Dissenters from
 the Orthodox Church.
 St. Petersburg Correspondence in Phila-
 delphia Press.
 The announcement of the imperial de- cree declaring religious toleration throughout the Russian Empire has aroused considerable interest in the re- lfgious makeup of this nation. Accord ing to the latest available statistics the, e are in Russia, in round numbers, s5,s5o.- GOO orthodox Greek Catholics, 2150 900 Roman Catholics. 12,150,o00 Mohamme- dans. 6,75o,000 Protestants. 4,o5000o Jews. 1850. 600 United Church and Armenians. and 2.700.0O0 followers of other faiths.
 Contrary to the usual understanding of the Russian situation, there has been no law requiring conformity to the orthodox belief, with the exception of the restraints laid On the Jews. The persecution that has been levelled at the dissenters has been. as a rule, the work of the local 'fficials, although the Holy Synod has not been entirely innocent in this regard The affairs of the Roman Catholic Church are intrusted to a collegium and those of the Lutheran Church to con- sistory. both settled at St. Petersburg Roman Catholics are most numerous in the former Polish provinces, Lutherans in those of the Baltic and Mohammedans In Eastern and Southern Russia. while the Jews are almost entirely settled in the towns and larger villages of the western and southwestern provinces.

As to Shirt Waists.

Speaking of shirt waist costumes I want to say that this year the shirt waist will match the skirt even in the white com binations. For instance 1t will be no longer considered cmart to wear a thin white waist with a pique skirt Both waist and skirt must be of the same material, and for this purpose nothing is prettier than the white linen embroidered in heavy white linen thread The picture shows one of these smart little suits. The waist has its collar embroidered and a panel of embroidery down the front. This panel is carried down on the skirt which is laid ir plaits so that 1t will flare at the bottom.
 Sometimes the embroidery is in color, and then the ribbon belt matches, but for my part I prefer the all white. It Is better to buy these suits ready made than to bother with them, but before they are altered have them laundered. for the washing makes a surprising amount of difference.
 There is nothing more ungainly than a pique or linen skirt with an inverted back plait. ought to know becouse I had some last summer. The laundry people never iron the plait in just right and it is always stickirig out or otherwise misbehaving itself. The best possible pat tern for such skirt is the plaited one without a yoke and with loose fitting habit back.

Yesterday I was walking in the shop ping district and studied the women.
 One unfortunate was wearing smart silk coat with an overloaded hat and a heavy skirt with long train, which she was painfully holding up In addition to this she carried a sunshade and couple of small parcels which kept slipping. The result was that her face wore that wor- ried, strained look which used to be com mon only to bicycle scorchers, and every now and then her poor. aching arms would let something fall-oftener than not the train of her skirt-which was simply filthy around the bottom from contact with the dusty floors and peoples s shoes.
 Now, why will women dress that way?
 There is only one time when the trained skirt is proper and suitable-namely, when the wearer Is going somewhere and takes the car there and back. The very smartest women are wearing short skirts on all occasions-one even sees them in church. i-.
 By short skirt" I don't mean that un- gainly length showing ugly feet which we have been accustomed to associate with the term short. I mean a skirt which is made in front as long as usual, but in the back Is minus the train and just clears the ground with fascinating little tilt With skirt of this length 1t is pos sible to wear any style of hat except an overloaded one, and one need not be con fined to the severe tailor shape. which is so .unbecoming to the average woman

 Well. here Is the point: Before I had time to think, before the cat-for of course it was a cat-had had time to touch the ground, my hand mechanically shot out and grasped the first object 1t found, and bang! went that object in the direction of the unknown thing. Now my mind didn't have time to think. The motion was purely mechanical-the in stinct of self preservation. of self defense But oh, alas, that object which 1 seized was my darling pot of heliotrope, and it smashed against the railing into thous- and pieces!

The Lady and thA Tiger cat.

And, speaking of cats-the warm weath- CT seems to favor the subject-I have in mind another story told by a friend of mine. She also slumbered on the ground floor and, as she was a brave girl. she left the lower half of her window open. In the middle of the night she dreamed that a fearful banshee was weeping and wailing before her. She awoke. In tho embrasure of the window framed by the rising moon crouched an enormous tiger cat. it's evil green eyes glowering at her. Her brain positively reeled for moment, then swift as flash she hurled her pill low at the cat with such good aim that the inquisitive feline was plotted out of sight. But the pillow? Oh, well. That fell Into the street-it was in the city. you know-and in the morning a white faced policeman brought it to the front door, inquiring whether a murder had been committed in the house.

Describer Some Dainty Warm Weather Wearabler

One of the prettiest costumes of this sort I saw at a smart restaurant It was of green linen with insertions of heavy lace and French knots of the linen thread. With 1t was worn a jaunty little toque of navy blue straw the crown of which was entirely composed of green leaves. The addition of & little white tulle bow under the chin completed the taunty, cool effect.
 By the way. do you realize the fact that the ultra large hats are not being worn by the smart people? It is so I suppose because they are becoming so common, but anyway the best milliners are reverting to the small, perked up shapes. To be smart his season a hat must have distinct, sharp and perky out lines.
