Latest Demands of Fashion.

Radical changes in late summer
styles for women are few and fa- be-
tW cen, although the latest creations
in gowns are modelled after those Of
the Louis periods. Yet some of the
changes while not in the extreme are
for the better and consist mostly Of
sOftening and tOning down.
A smart gown of the lingerie type

quarter coats of a delicate cOlored
taffeta and must .be of a soft lustrOus
quality There is no lining and in
sertiOns of dainty lace give to them
a decidedly pretty effect. Some have
TO lace trimmings at all but are made
with pufffings and other self trim
mfngs. AS for gowns in general they
arc made with full skirts and the best
effects show the fullness at the bot
tom, which is attained by making the
skirt fiat about the hips and allowing

Artistic Millinery.

Since the picturesque is the correct
phase in frocks. the artistic prevails
in millinery. The hats are just as
various as are the designs in gowns,
and it is a peculiar type of beauty
that cannot find something eminent
~ becoming in the current modes.
Crowns are higher in the newer mod
els, and ostrich plumes are draped in
many ands fantastic forms. Brims,
too, are growing somewhat wider,
and are curved and undulated until
they will suit almost any face. Vel
vet is especially conspicuous as a
trimming, and it is expected that the
early days Of autumn will bring back
the chic little velvet toQue.

Smart Frocks and Hats.

A very smart frock was made Of
rC se-pink muslin trimmed plentifully
with lace in Paris shade. 1t was worn
with a Leghorn hat; this had a high
crown. There were two twists Of
soft pink ribbon round it and an i'm
1ense pink rose with foliage ap-
peared in front. Another charming
hat, worn with a pale blue muslin
dress, was in a picture shape made Of
wire, and covered with lace, string
co'ored. The lace was slightly gagged,
and simulated a short, narrow curtain
at the back. The high crown was
trimmed with twisted bands Of soft
blue satin ribbon, a big chou of the
ribbon being fastened in front a little
to the left side. Tusser frocks should
be worn with coarse straw ats,
trimmed say, with cabbage roses and
little foliage, otherwise with bands
OF velvet or ribbon.-Boston Globe.

know how many or how they came
there. And their chief has sent you a
messenger"
"Danes!" For the first time in the
history of Ivarsdale, the word was
spoken with an accent of relief.
The page turned from the fire with
cry of bitter rejoicing: IF it is
Canute, | will go to him."
In the revulsion of his feelings, the
Etheling laughed outright. Since it
is not Edmund, | care not if it be the
Evil One himself; and it cannot be he
for Canute is in MCIcia" Reckoning
to MOrcard, he began to consult him
concerning the most effective ar
rangement of the sentinels; and there
was a muffled clatter of weapons as
men went to/and fro with hasty steps
When all was ready the messenger
was brought in between guards
Wrapped in dirty sheepskins, he
staggered to the center Of the room
Pitching his cloak higher on his
shoulders, he fastened his eyes on a
hole in the tapestry behind the Ethel
ings chair and began monotonOusly
to recite his lesson: 'ROthgar, the
son of Lodbrok. sends you greeting,

that you surrender to him the odal
and Tower of Ivarsdale; as is right
because the odal was created and the
Tower built by Ivar Vidfadmi, who
was the first son of LodbrOk and the
fathers fathers father OF my chief"
In spite of himself, he was obliged to
stop to take in breath.
In the pause, the page bent toward
his master, his face alight with a sud-
den fierce triumph. Lord" he whis-
pered, you can never get out! You

are caught as though they had you in
trap!"
Astounded, Sebert drew back to
stare at him. 'FridtjOf, 1t is not pos
sible that you are unfaithful to me-"
The boys only answer was to drop
down upon the step and bury his face
in his hands. And now the messen-
ger had recovered his wind and his
place.
Since the time Df Alfred" he went
on, my chief and his kin have. been
kept out of the property by your stock
and you; yet because he does not
wish to look mean. he offers you to
go out in safety with all of your
household, both men and women, and
as much property as you can walk
under-if you go quietly and in
peace"
The Etheling's voice was very deep
and quiet. IF we go in peace" he
repeated slowly. And if we do not?"
The Dane shrugged his burly shout
ders. There are no terms for that.
You will find it necessary to take
what comes"
Again there was silence.
Sebert put his last question: How
long does the son of Lodbrok give
me to consider how I am to order
things?" :
The man shattered the silence with
his boisterous laughter. MY chief
gives you no time at all. So long a
time, he has studied out, will it take
me to come in to you; so much longer
to do my errand; and so much longer
to get back. At the end of that time
he will blow his horn, and if your
gates do not fly open in obedience,
he will take that for your answer"

sparks flashing from the steel of his

CHAPTER X.
When Miqht Made Right.

What difference that somewhere
beyond the hills, men were fighting
and castles were burning? At WARS
dale, in the shelter and cheer of the
lords great hall, the feast of the bar
ley beer was at its height.
Where the glow lay rosiest, the
young lord sat in the great raised
chair, testing with his Danish page
who knelt on the step at his side
Now the boys answering provoked
him to laughter, and he put out
hand and tousled the thick curls in
his faVorite caress.
Like quieting hand, the first of
the mellow chords from the harp fell
upon the noise of the revel. The
servants bearing away the dishes be-
gan to tread the rushes on tiptoe, and
a dozen frowns rebuked any clatter:
Through the hush, the gleeman be-
gan to sing the Romance of King

strained eye and ear toward the
harper's tattered figure. What mat
ter that outside an autumn wind was
nowling through the forest and strip
ping the leaves through the vines?
Within sound of the mellow harp
music it was balmiest springtime, as
the castlefolk followed the gleeman
over the hills and dales of a towering
dream world.
For a space after he had finished,
the silence remained unbroken. then
gave way only to an outburst of APP
plause.
Above the confusion rose the voice
of the brawnest of the henchmen,
passing his judgment on the ballad
Now that is my own desire of songs"
