CHAPTER XIII.
Chances at De Wick,

When Matilda received letter from
Anthony Lynn, she was Immediately
certain that the old mans conscience
troubled him in the presence of death,
and that he wished to return de Wick
to its rightful owner. Sir Thomas and
Lady Jevery were of the same opinion,
and the two ladies started for de Wick
at once.
Anthony Lynn stood at the door to
meet them. He looked i'll and frail,
but hardly like death, and when he
witnessed the delight of the ladies at
the changes made in de Wick, his face
grew almost young in it's pleasure
Every room in the house was a fresh
surprise; for through all that was
venerable through age or family asso-
citation, and all that was valuable and
beautiful had been preserved, yet so
much of modern splendor and worth
had been mingled with the old that
the rooms were apparently newly fur
nished. Matilda said enthusiastically:
Mr.. Lynn, seeing that the de Wicks
had to leave their ancient home, | am
sure my father is glad, also"
Then the old man burst into that
thin, cold passion of weeping so sig
nificant of age, and so pitiful in it's
helplessness. 1T is your fathers do
ing, Lady Matilda" he sobbed. 1T is
my dear lords wisdom Pardon me
now. This evening will tell you all"
He went away with these words, and
the two women looked at each other
in amaZement.
In the evening he came to them.

gan" he said Earl de Wick foresaw
their ending, and after Marion Moor

with motifs in passementerie or lace,
and the cuff may be turned back with

Fashions for Older Women.

For street wear the iron-gray mixtures, made with a plain skirt and a quite long, loose, or half-fitted coat, are thought very are of course more or less on the tailor made order. This is in itself severe. but may be modified in these days when 1t is no longer necessary to have everything tight-ftting. It is admitted to be a mis- take for any one whose figure is not per feet to wear tightly fitting clothes. When an older woman there should be some thing soft about the trimming of the front of the waist, and no garment for indoors or out, should be made to fit too closely over the hips and stomach. If possible there should be a line unbroken in trim ming, or, if a coat in revers, from the shoulder to well below the waist. Of course, it is not for a moment to be sup posed that a well-dressed woman would attempt any of the eccentric loose gar ments that are from time to time exhibit ed as the latest style, but modification of any loose, graceful effect in trimming or in design is the best to choose.
 Gray in all the light shades is so be- coming to elderly people that it seems a pity that so few women wear it, in the house especially. For home wear gray gowns are lovely, and certain shades of mauve as well. Blue is not a color for elderly women to wear. neither is pink; but gray, purple in it's different shades. white and black, give enough variety for any one.

Fashion Notes.

White cloth gowns are very smart. and for the moment what is known as cham pagne colored cloth somewhat darker than ivory white, is the favorte color, trimmed with lace and embroidery of the same color or with a touch of pale blue to make it more becoming, says Harpers Bazaar, that recognized authority on fashions.
 There is also a return to the fad for black, and there are dozens of smart black gowns with a round or pointed lace yoke and high stock collar all in one, and with elbow-sleeves.
 The separate waist that most useful and practical garment which is so often prophesied to be going out of fashion, and which each succeeding season takes a new lease of life, appears in an endless variety of designs. It is once again the most noticeable of all the new styles. Quite apparent is the shirt waist influence upon the waists These while quite too elaborate to be rightly called shirt-waists, are like them in being made without lin- ing or bones, and with a certain simpli- city of pattern. All white materials are fashionable again, and especially the wash materials that even now are to be had in such fascinating patterns with open-worlk and embroidery, lines of lace insertion, or lace medallions all woven with fabric. These are more expensive and consequently thought smarter, with the lace or embroidery of the finest hand work. As a rule, the new waists are made to fasten in the back, all the more elaborate ones being finished in that style The lace is in bands across the chest or in long lines. The sleeves are charming, with the fitness well below the elbow, but gathered into band of lace or embroidery at the wrist, and large enough to allow of little fitness at the top of the sleeve.
