CHAPTER XxIV-contlnued.
They strolled into the conservatory.
For the first time he was alone with
Jessie Garden, and a sense Of exalted
happiness surged over him.
Blake had formulated no plan OF
campaign for the conquest Of Jessie
Garden. The light of her eyes and
the radiance of her beauty were to
him as ignes fatui. and drew him on.
He talked of California and Of
Rocky Woods, but his eyes spoke
love and his deep rich voice was
tender. Fair woman is seldom blind
to the spell cast by her charms, and
1t is probable that Jessie was aware
of Blake's admiration; but she Meth
er recognized nor took advantage
OF it.
J Though he knew that the odds
were Overwhelmingly against him,
and that one false step meant ire
trievable defeat, he shut his eyes to
the perils which encompassed him.
He knew the risk he ran in appear
ing in public with Jessie Garden, but
he did not hesitate to secure box
for the Booth performance.
There were four in the theater
party-the general and Edith, Blake
and Jessie Garden. Blake escorted
Jessie to the front of the box and
took his place by her side. The
boxes were thronged with fair wom-
en-, but all eyes were turned on Jes-
sic Garden and her handsome escort.
She had been absent from New York
for two years, and only few recog.
nized her. James Blake was even
less known, though his name had
been made familiar by the name of
Wall street achievements with which
he was publicly identified.
The first act was nearly over when
a thick-set young man, with soft,
ford face, sauntered into the box
directly across the orchestra from
Blake and Jessie. Both recognized
the newcomer as Arthur Morris, and
both felt secret Joy that he was
present. Like flash the thought
came to Blake that, by means Of his

Cherry oraandle Erock.

An organdie in white, with punches
OF pale cherries scattered over 1t, was
simply made with a skirt tucked
around the hips for fulness and a
graduated founce. Yards and yardl
of white baby ribbon edged with mar
row valenclennes trimmed the gown.
Two rows went on the skirt above the
lounce, and third one had loops that
extended into the flounce. Large dia'
monds of the ribbon and lace trimmed
the flounce, and the taffeta sash was
outlined with the lace-edged ribbon.

OF Linen Batlste.

Simple frocks that are made with
skirt and waist in one, giving unbrok-
en- lines from the shoulders to the
lower edge, are always becoming to
the little folk and always in style.
This one is dalntiness Itself and is
made Of sheer linen batiste with hand
sewed tucks, hemstitching and French
knots, the collar and wrist bands be-
ing edged with narrow frllls embroid-
cred by hand. All materials used for
dresses of the sort are, however,
equally suitable and the finish can be
lace, machine embroidery or anything

A Prophet Without Honor.

The late Hugh Stowell Scott, ia.
nous as Henry Seton Merriman, au.
thor Of "The Sewers" THE Vultures
and other novels. was a man Of extra.
ordinary reserve and self-command.
The following story is told Of him:
His father, who was a director OF
the London Graphic, had an unac.
countable objection to his sons fol.
lowing literary career, and tried to
make a business man Of him. His
son wrote in secret under a pseudo
nym, and, although his work was sue
cessful, he never betrayed his literary
identity to his father.
On one occasion his father placed
before him one Of the young authors
own stories, saying. Now. II rou could
write a book like this, It would be an.
other thing altogether"
And still the son kept silence

Taffeta Costumes for the House.


These are certainly quite as appro-
pirate, If not more so, for afternoon
and reception wear, but they are be-
coming and are perfectly suitable for
the house. Taffeta this year has
proved one Of the most fashionable
OF materials. 1t is now manufactured
in such a way that it is soft and pill
able, has luster If so desired, and has
also rather dull finish. 1t looks well
plated and gathered, and also shows
to advantage II plain. Consequently
1t is likely to remain leading favor
tie for some time to come.
A most charming and attractive
gown made of pale rose pink taffeta
is included in the trousseau of one of
the autumn brides. The skirt is a
most elaborate creation with no less
than seven bias flounces, or, rather,
rufTies, at the back. 1t has the same
number in front, only they are much
narrower and put closer together.
above these rufles is a band of lace
insertion. The upper part OF the skirt
Is entirely of lace, with the exception
Of narrow shlrred yoke.

Canes of cluny or Yak Lace.

Among the prettiest tribes in the
way of smart dressing for the late
summer days are the little circular
capes Of some coarse lace-Cluny or
Yak-dyed to match the color Of the
gown, or left in their natural color.
Some of these fasten down the front
with little black ribbon bows. Others
have black chiffon arranged in stole
fashion down either side Of the front,
with big rosettes Of the same at the
neck, and heading the fall Of accord
ion pleated chiffon, which forms a
sort of tassel at the waist line.

Shoulder canes.

Some slender women are wearing
to great advantage shoulder capes
drawn across their shoulders rather
than fitting over them, and Otter
are they most becoming when trim
med with several cross rows Of ruch
ings, three or four usually. Lace rib
bon, pinked-out soft silks or mousse
lines are used In these ruchings
sometimes matching the capes, some
times in contrast with all-white capes
They have pretty Romney effect
with bunched-up ends over the bust
or else permitting the ends to hanf
in long stole effect.

RraceIeta comInu In Analn.

Bracelets are once more coming
into vogue, a fact probably due IA
the return Of the elbow sleeve for
house gowns Of all sorts. A charm
bracelet is the latest fad, and It ia
hung with marvellous little replicas Of
famous statuary, animals, insects in
precious stones, and mummles, pre-
sumably bringers of good luck.

directolre suggestions. A favorlte

There is a distinct vogue the first
Of the fall days for the fancy striped
or plaid blouse to be worn with a

There is a high collar in white with
