viii be its equal in all this, with the diff
ference that perhaps the embellishments
will not be quite so elaborate. Evening
garments will be ornate In the extreme,
as usual. Cne for the coming winter
may be seen in the initial sketch at the
head of this depletion. 1t was a fine af-
fair of white peau de sole, white satin
bands and white passementerie. A SIM
pier wrap for more general service is In
the next illustration. 1t was gray cloth
and heavy gray cord, and had decorative
silk rosettes. More capes will be seen
the coming winter. The fall showing in
cludes many small capes and cape ef-
fects. These slight affairs will not be
reproduced in the winter fashions, whose
capes will be larger and a much better
protection. Fashion makers are not as
yet chargeable with leading their follow
ers into brief capes for severe weather
for which they are not fit, their made
quacy being proven by much distress for
their wearers.
Skirts on the whole are palmer, yet
few entirely plain ones are found, and
on the other hand there are not a few
in dressy costumes which are as elabo-
rate as anything seen of late. The width
OF them increases, especially from the
knees downward. Here It Is a stylish
trick to fare them out almost to the
reatest possible dimension. That skirt

trimmings does not necessarily make to-
ward simplicity, as no one need be told
that the utmost complexity is possible
with just such mediums. Occasionally
they are found in the very elaborate
forms that prevailed in midsummer
More often they are less elaborate, yet
so extensive as to add considerable to

CHAPTER vi.

The days work was done, and went
down into the kitchen to have my tea
and my confidential talk with Martha.
In this last intention, however, was
doomed to be disappointed. Her master
had entrusted her with certain commits

for Bury. So / was left alone. As
soon as / had finished my solitary meal,
l wandered down to the bottom of the
orchard. Lying down in the shadow of
a large pear tree, soon forgot my trou-
bles.
Behind the high, thick hedge at my
back lay the extremity of the frontsgar-
den. 1 was disturbed in the midst of
my meditations by the sound Of voices.

quickly, as though sudden idea had
struck him, Where was he the night

An exclamation broke from Judith.

The FATE OF
A DREAMER

Emery Melvin was a ne'er do well
A friend of his once said to him, EN-
cry, you're dreamer, and the worst
kind of one" That made the young
fellow sick at heart. but he loved a
girl who comfOrted him by saying:
"Nevcr mind. Emery. II you We're
made dreamer the worst kind of a
one means that you are very much of
a dreamer, and it's better to be good
deal of one thing than little of every
thing"
However, Emery gave up dreaming
for awhile-at least he thought he did
went to work at the trade he had learn
ed, carpentry, and married Hope Clark,
the girl who had comforted him. But
1t was not long before he fell to dream
ing again. He worked daily at his
trade, but made very poor success at
1t. His mind was not on his work, but
on fanciful pictures that were constant
ly coming up before him. A troop of
actors coming to the town where he
lived, he went to see them. The next
day while he was saving boards and
driving nails he was constructing u
play. For several years he continued
to conjure up characters, making them
move, puppet fashion, before his brain
in various combinations. Then he
gradually developed plan. He knew
nothing about playwriting. but nat
ural instinct told him that he must in
vent the things that his puppets would
do before writing out what they would
say. So he took some checkers and
q. II.
characters and moved them on and off
his supposed stage. which was the
checkerboard. and in this way they
performed for him.
Meanwhil, his wife stood by him.
She wished he was not a dreamer, but
If he had not been she would not have
loved him so well. She took good care
Of what little money he earned and
made it go great way. But children
were coming on rapidly, and the poor
woman was worked nearly to death.
One day when Emery was out OF
job he concluded to go to the city and
submit his play to an expert. He did
30, and the expert handed the play
back to him with the verdict that 1t
was rubbish. Emery was not used to
stagecraft, he said. and had a lot of i'm
possible situations. Emery, very much
discouraged, went back home with his
manuscript. but his wife. whose name
was well chosen, bid him not despair,
but send 1t around to theatrical man
ayers. He did So but at last became
suspicious that the manuscript was not
being read. Before sending 1t out again
he stuck together several of the pages
in different parts, and when the manu-
script came back to him these pages
had not been separated, showing that
his suspicious were correct. Then he
put his play in IA closet, where 1t lay for
several years the dust gradually thick
ening upon it.
One day he saw in newspaper that
certain manager who had been
bounded by dramatic authors because
he produced such poor plays and de-
clined their very good ones had decided
to offer prize Of $500 for play. The
Judges were not to be the regular dra-
matte readers, but representative lit
erary men and women. Emery bundled
up his play and sent it to the address
given. 84

1t was three months after this and
the whereabouts of the play were al
most forgotten when one day Emery
received notice that his play had won
the prize. A check for $500 was in
stating that within two months the
play would be put on the stage.
The coming of the play did not seem
to make much of a stir in dramatic cir
cles. Hope saw an item in newspa-
per sneeringly referring to the man
ayers prize plan as an advertising
dodge that would not pay, but she
burned the paper before her husband
saw it. At first Emery had great ex-
pectations for his play, but his wife.
fearing that he would be disappointed.
told him that she doubted II more than
the $500 received would come of It.
But that wns for them great deal.
The night for the first performance
came. and the next day Emery, who
had shrunk from being present at a
failure. eagerly seized a morning paper
as soon as it came up from the city.
His play was dismissed by the critic
in few sneering lines. He bought
other papers and found where there
were comments they were severe crit'
cisms, though one or two papers said
the audience was very kindly dis
posed one and gave the play proper
attention. In the evening came a letter
from the manager saying that he be
lieved the play would do fairly well
and might run perhaps thirty nights.
A few days later Emery received a
telegram to come to the city at once.
He reached the theater that night Just
before the close OF the third act and
entered a house crowded with an en-
thusiastic audience. When the curtain
went down here was wild yell for
the author. The manager dragged En-
cry, in his work clothes, on the stage.
The audience seemed puzzled at his
appearance, and some one cried: I'VE
don't want the stage carpenter. We
want the author The manager ex-
planned. and there was a thunder of
applause.
Emery was badly "rattled." He ask
ed the manager how he could get his
wife and children to town. and the
manager telegraphed, Come with the
kids at once and bolster up your hus-
band"
The next night Hope sat in private
box and saw her husbands triumph,
laughing and weeping by turns. That
was the beginning of the celebrated
play, "The Old Oaken Bucket" which
ran $50 nights and mads the great play
wright Emery Melvin.
