every bit of linen. 1t is a big task
unless you can afford to hire it done.
There are sheets and towels by the
dozen, not to speak of table linen.
Why not go to some shop and buy
letters to mark your towels and bed
linen? They come embroidered to
sew on and really they look very we'll.
Plenty good enough for the average
present. OF course, table linen is
quite another question. That must be
done by hand and very nicely, too,
else 1t is far better left alone. Mark
your linen as you like best. Your
monogram would be very nice, but a
single letter answers the purpose
quite as we'll. 1t is lovely to have
your first name embroidered on your
underwear, but / certainly do not ad-
wise any girl to do it. Too much
precious eyesight is wasted and 1t is
not worth the while. Use the pretty
little letters instead. They range in
price. but I am quite sure you can
get them large enough for this pur-
pose for 35 or 40 cents dozen, and
for sheets, pillow slips and towels for
90 cents. l should think six dozen
towels, including bath towels; one
dozen and half sheets, one dozen pill

various sizes and four dozen napkins

MARY A. ]. shaded Colors in Dress
DetaiD-Instead of combining a num-
ber of colors into a color scheme more
or less elaborate, there is sudden
craze for shading some one color from
its palest shade tint to it's richest tone
in variety of dress accessories.
You see shaded wells, shaded stock
ings, shaded ribbons, laces, silks and
flowers. And the chiffons and silks and
ribbons can be so harmonized and ad-
1usted by plaits. shirrings and folds as
to make very wonderful color effects.
Some times you will see an entire
evening frock of shaded chiffon. or of
different shades Of one tone of chiffon
combined to shade perfectly, say from
palest copper to a dark time-stained
metal, from the lightest new orange
shade-cocque de roche--to the deepest
orange brown. or from a delicate

The wells are probably the most no.

supdued with brownish shadows. There

many wonderful shades of this most

These shaded wells are extremely
picturesque for country wear and very
useful indeed to the girl who wants to
make her light summer straw do for
the fall. Suppose 1t is tan straw. Take

AS for shaded stockings, thew are a
whim rather than a reasonable fash
Ion, pretty, possibly, for little girls with
whom stockings are fully a third of
dress decoration, or for young girls to
wear with dancing frocks, but for
older girls they are mainly reserved for
fancy dress, or to exactly match a

Shaded ribbons are most useful hat

Once, however, a girl has grown up
to school estate she must be plainly

are too young to think much about
their clothes or be much impressed by
their prettinesS, to whom velvet and

And incidentally school girls have
never dressed more senSibly and
wholesOmely. Shirt waists and tweed
skirts, sweaters and felt hats, stout
boots and loose gloves, red cheeks and
bright eyes-here you have a picture
of the modern young girl en- route to
school. ready for basketball at noon
and golf after hours.
But if she were a small person, a
kindergartener or Just baby she
would have in place of the sweater a
plush zibeline coat or one of noleskfn

trimmed with a rich lace collar and
worn with ermine furs.

It is easy to see that the breakage IL
not due to malevolence. But it II none
the less true that the two last vans, the
mortuary van and the rear van occupied
by the goods guard, are missing. How
far are they? Nobody knows.
You should have heard the shouts OF
the Persian guards engaged in escortlng
the remains of Yen Lou, for which they
were responsible! The travellers in their
van, like themselves, had not noticed
when the coupling broke. 1t might De
an hour, two hours, since the accident.
What ought to be done was clear
enough. The train must be run back
ward and pick up the lost vans.
Nothing could be more simple. But
and this surprised me-the behavior OF
my lord Faruskiar seemed very strange.
He insisted in the most pressing manner
that not a moment should be lost. he
spoke to Popof, to the driver, to tile
stoker, and for the first time l discov-
cred that he spoke Russian remarkably
well.
The train began to run back as soon
as we had taken our places. The Ger
man baron attempted to complain, but
Faruskiar gave him such a look that
he did not care to get another, and stow
ed himself away in the corner.
Dawn appeared in the east when the
two wagons were found a kilometer of,
and tho train gently slowed up to them
after an hours run.
Faruskiar and Ghangir went to help in
coupling on the vans, which was done
as firmly as possible. Major Noltitz and
noticed that they exchanged few
words with the other Mongols. After
all, there was nothing astonishing In
that, for they were countrymen OF theirs.
We resume our seats in the train, and
the engineer tries to make up for lost
time.
Nevertheless, the train does not arrive
at Kachgar without long delay, and it
is half past four in the morning when
