and Mrs. Russell decided she would
go to the Sunday-school of which she
had heard so much. On a recent Sun
day she attended the school and found
the women's classes lined along one
side of the room and those of the men
along the other. She took a place
among the women, and through the
early part of the service looked at the
multi-millionaire Bible teacher more
than she did at her Bible. Then came

Russell was filled with names that
rival those of the Muscovite. and she
made slip in pronunciation.

of the class to me, and l was en-

swimming pool, pass over the hill and
fade in the forest that fringed the

They set a watch in Mrs. Deering's
room, which overlooked the grounds
to the south and the river to the
west, but the apparition failed to APP

came. Just as they were breaking up

Aunt Phoebe was up early the fol-

what she called the scandalous con-

Atwood hurrying on.

never more so than now. Touhey the
old gardener, was arranging the rustic
seats under the great trees where the
robins were rioting when carriage
swung in at the lower gate and rolled
leisurely over by dropping bows of an

Atwood was charmed with the place.
He had come to Canada expecting to
lind only new crude things, and was
agreeably surprised.
He saw, too, that the welcome ac-
corded him was genuine. The hostess
Mrs. Deering, was sister to his mother
sweet soul, who had gone from him
when he was but a boy. He admired
her sons, sturdy young fellows, just
merging into manhood and taking their
places in the work of the world. He
was charmed by his beautiful cousin,
tanned by his maiden aunt, Phoebe,
who seemed ever to be in the act of
side-stepping some sudden calamity, or
shying at an imaginary menace.
Atwood was not only clever, but
handsome as well, and from the day

Taking advantage of the Dutch type
OF decoration prevailing just now,
women skillful with pen or brush are
making sofa pillows of linen or coarse
material, with border of Dutch little
folk, represented with Joined hands
and capering about in lively manner.
The middle of the pillow top is left
plain and a border lined off with pen,
brush or burning needle, and the
Dutch figures are outlined and illumi-
mated in the border. A champagne
colored material makes an artistic pill
low and likewise pale green, with red
and green of darker shade for the
dresses of the little folks. Delft blue
and orange are other shades that may
be chosen for such pillows with Sue
cessful results.

Vouue of Liuht Materials.

1t is astonishing how much thin ma
terials, such as wolfe, crepe, etamine
and others of like description. are
worn by well-dressed women during
the winter nowadays. Naturally this
does not apply to the tailor-made cos
tunes, but last year the most elabo-
rate gowns of these fabrics were to be
seen under the handsome fur coats.
and there is every reason to suppose
that they will be more in vogue than
ever. There is fancy, too-which is
to be noticed in many of the new Paris
costumes and which will be equally
pronounced during the autumn months
for the skirt composed of two
f1ounces, each LOUNGE being adorned
with from three to five bands of vel
vet in graduated widths. The flounces
are deep, the upper one reaches above
the knee, and this style Of decoration
is naturally more adapted to dresses
of the material of which | have been

BILE to lend themselves to elaborate

that if they will buy Defiance Cold

cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem

money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.
