CHAPTER I.

1he Home Of cornelia Moran.
Never, in all it's history, was the
proud and opulent city of New York
more glad and gay than in the bright
spring days of Seventeen-Hundred-
and-Ninety-O It had put out of
sight every trace of British rule and
occupancy, all it's homes had been re-
stored and re-furnished, and it's sacred
places re-consecrated and adorned.
The skies of Italy were not bluer than
the skies above it; the sunshine OF
Arcadia not brighter or more genial.
These gracious days of Seventeen
Hundred-and-N inety-One were also
the early days of the French revolu-
ton, and fugitives from the French
court-princes and mobiles, statesmen
and generals, sufficient for new 1liad,
loitered about the pleasant places OF
Broadway and Wall street, Broad
street, and Maiden Lane. They were
received with courtesy, and even with
hospitality, although America at that
date almost universally sympathized
with the French Republicans, whom
they believed to be the pioneers of po-
litical freedom on the aged side of the
Atlantic. Love for France, hatred for
England, was the spirit of the age;
it effected the trend Of commerce, it
dominated politics, it was the keynote
of conversation wherever men and
women congregated.
Yet the most pronounced public
feeling always carries with it a note
of dissent, and it was just at this day
that dissenting opinion began to make

ShaWIS a Fad of Fashion.

ShaWls are Seen in rather unusual
numbers. There are enough of them to
suggest revival of the 1880 and 1850
fashion. The silk shawls are special
ly attractive, embroidered in self or a
contrasting color Pale salmon pink
is embroidered in white; dull rich ma
genta has pattern worked in red of
a deeper tone. Of course all the usual
pinks, pale blues and creams are also
strongly in evidence. Pongee color,
with stitchery in white or yellow, is
pretty and more unusual.

Blouse Waist With Rolero.

Boleros are among the few accesso-
ries Of dress that are almost UNIVERSAL
~ becoming and are among the most
fashionable Of all garments at the
present time. This very attractive
waist includes one that shows plaits
over the shoulders, which give the
broad line, and wide sleeves of elbow
length that are most effective over
the full pulled ones of the waist. AS
illustrated the bolero and belt are
made Of antique green taffeta, trimmed
with ecru lace and ball fringe, while
the waist is of white null and matches

The New Handkerchief Kimonas.

k1monas made from large, square
handkerchiefs have taken new twist
this season. Instead of brilliant ban
danas and the old-fashioned combina-
lions of dark blue and white, or vivid
red and white, the most delicate col
orings are seen.
The center of the handkerchief
shows delicate pink, blue, green, yell
low or lavender, with dainty border
In pale Persian colors or Dresden ef-
fects, with the color of the center pre-
dominating in the conventional or
floral design. Another difference in
the style lies in the fact that the
points of the handkerchiefs are
brought to the neck line and then
turned over to form a small, shawl
shaped collar.

CHAPTER II.
This Is the Way Of Love.

Cornelia fingered in the garden, be
cause she had suddenly, and as yet I'M
consciously, entered into that tender
mystery, so common and so sovereign,
which we call Love. In Hyde's pres.
ence she had been suffused with a
bewildering, profound emotion, which
had fallen on her as the gentle showers
fall, to make the flowers of spring.
This handsome youth, whom she had
only seen twice, and in the most for
NAL manner, affected her as no other
mortal ever done. She was a. little
afraid.
Il have met him but twice." she
thought; land it is as if had a new,
strange, exquisite life. Ought I tell
my mother? But how can 1? have
no words to explain-I do not under
stand-Alas! if l should be growing
Wicked"
The thought made her start; she
fastened her steps towards the large
entrance door, and as she approached
it negro in fine livery Of blue and
white threw the door wide open for
her. She turned quickly out of the
hall, into parlor full of sunshine.

One afternoon in April, 1891, two
men were standing talking opposite
to the entrance gates of the pleasant
place. They were Capt. Joris Van
Heemskirk, a member of the Congress
then sitting in Federal Hall, Broad
street, and Jacobus Van Ariens, a
wealthy citizen, and deacon in the
Dutch church. Van Heemskirk be-
1ieved in France; the tragedies she
had been enacting in the holy name Of
liberty, though they had saddened,
had, hitherto, not discouraged him.
But the news received that morning
had almost killed his hopes for the
spread of republican ideas in Europe.

Then the two old men were silent,
