made pretty without in the least injur-
ing 1t.
One of the new voile gowns is in the
new shade OF orange, sometimes called
coque de roche. It is a color that is
worn great deal in the house and is
the favorite card party color in Wash
ington. Wolfe comes In this peculiar
shade of orange, which is almost a
brown, and 1t Is made up charmingly
and in diverse ways.
A very handsome gown was Of coque
de roche voile made up with bands and
strappings of, Roumanian embroidery,
showing deep tones rather than light
ones. The cuffs were of the embroidery
and the yoke and collar and yoke bands
and girdle were all fashioned of this
embroidery. The style of the gown was
box. plated, with an abundance'of art
nouveau buttons upon the waist and
the cuffs. The effect. while snowy and
stylish, was not gaudy, for the Rou-
manian bands toned down the tint and
made the gown harmopious. One. can
do so much with these trimmings Of the
Orient and with embroidered canvas
The length for the card party gown
is a rough length, sweeping the moor.
The San Francisco call., 1905-01-29

CANT shirt waists are fitted tightly to
the figure around the belt line: and
very trim and nice they look. 1t is a
relief to see them after the bloused
bagginess Of other seasons. AS an an
preciative man expressed 1t: 'Tt is
nice to see woman in her natural fig-
ure again. not bagging over at the belt
and sagging all around"
The comfortable blouse Is still in
vogue and in its modified forms, full
across the bust, it is very pretty, and it
VIII be worn great deal. But for even
ing and dressy wear the tight-fitting
booice, snug to the hips and close to
the waist. with a little basque effect.
Is the thing that will be worn most
OF all.
And Its favorite trimming will be lace
arranged in the surplice effect, crossed
over the bust and tied in tassel form at
one side or finished with hanging lace
ends. 1t is an old-fashioned effect. this,
of the trimmed bodice, yet SO becoming
that one embraces 1t as friend whom
one has not seen in ages.

and one Of these is canvas. And the
canvas gown must neither be forgot
ten nor neglected in resume Of the
styles. They make .canvases now that
are the very epitome of beauty and
elegance. Partly silk, with high
gloss, finished exquisitely and coming
in heavy substantial weights, they are
ideal for the making of gowns. There
are canvas dresses that rank with
brocaded satins and which cost almost
as much. And these gowns are made
up in conjunction with other materials
which bring them well upward in the
world of dress and it's varying schemes.
Scrim has been revived for neck
trimming and the newest stocks are
made of scrim embroidered in green
four-leaf clovers, with big embrold-
cred. clover leaf at the front.
"A canvas gown for a bridge party
was made of cream canvas with a high
gloss. 1t was trimmed with navy blue

from the robes of a mandarin. They

beauties to come. In the air the
damp, earthly smells of early spring
fioated. the sweet breath of the soil
as II awakened from Its winter trance.
With sigh of enjoyment she seated
herself on one of the green benches and
Barton took his place beside her. For
some moments they sat gazing at the
scene before them in dreamy silence,
taking in long whiffs of the soft air
with sensuous delight. The blurred,
faint loveliness of it all bespoke fairy
land.
He did not speak, but she knew that
he was watching her iptently. With a
sort of helpless, bewildered dismay she
realized that she was flushing like a
schoolgirl. "A woman of 3S'' she taunt-
ed herself savagely. "3S-3s-3S!" But
1t was no use. She flushed and flushed
until she longed wildly for an earth
quake, for any deliverance that would
rescue her from the absurdity of her
position But none came, and with lips
that quivered with annoyance she tried
to form some diyerting, imDersonal re-
mark.
A. big, firm hand closed over hers and
Stuart Barton looked down at her like
a triumphant young god.
II know what you are going to say,
he began, but it's no use! love you
and I'm old enough To know my own
mind. This Is an exceptional case, and
there's no use of your tormenting your
self and me by bothering about our
ages! / am certainly going to marry
you, so you might just as well make
up your mind to ii"
He paused for breath, and though
she eyed him in disdainfui silence, a
dangerous excitement, a triumphant
happiness danced in her blood, and she
dared not trust herself to speak.
You love me--you know you do,
Alicei" he resumed exultantly, and at
the protest that she tried her best to
make convincing he only laughed in
diligently. With shock 1t came to her
that he was right-she did love him.
When she spoke moment later her
voice was very low and tense.

Before week was past Stuart Barton
began to find Miss Mitford's society as
necessary to his comfort as sleep or
food.
She listened to his arrogant, boyish
views of men and things with an in
terest that had not always been ac-
corded them and which did not fail
of it's effect After the jaded, cynical
opinions of older men, she really
found them as exhilarating as wine.
Always they parted with a grudging
sense OF breaking off at the most in
teresting point, with a parenthetical

More than once she had surprised
amused glances on the faces of other
boarders, and she was far too acute
not to interpret their meaning accu-
rately. But she remained tranquil, too
happy and engrossed to care what the
common, conventional herd might
think.
II suppose you know that they are
saying all sorts of things about us?'
she said to him one evening when
Miss Selwyn's behavior at dinner had
amounted to nothing less than a repri-
mand.
Then she went on mercilessly:
"They probably say that l am leading
you on-that I am old enough to
know better-that l am designing
old maid and few more nice things
of that sort. I want you to know all
about it, because am lot older than
you--sixteen long years of 365 days
each."
she paused with queer. breathless
feeling that was an unpleasant sur
prise to herself. She waited for his
answer as If her life hung upon his
words.
Bother your age!" he laughed gayly
"Your eyes are as young as-as--''
He hesitated, casting about for a sim
ile-"as Miss Selwyns Indeed, they're
a good deal younger, and SO Is your

laugh was ringing out like girls.

times when she half regretted her
hauteur to the young stranger. His
eyes certainly were fine! Besides, it
touched her pride that man should
deliberately turn to another woman
when she was at hand. The fact that
the woman was her senior and no
beauty only made the offense more
heinous.
BY degrees, therefore, her manner
toward him changed, thawing slowly
but surely, like ice before the spring
sun. But though she melted. Barton
was politely Indifferent and Miss Nit
ford looked on with a keenly fem
mime appreciation of the by-play. She
felt that the siren was singing to her
knight In vain and she reioiced with
true womanly exultation.
What possesses Miss Selwyn--
that's what I'd like to know" that
gentleman blurted out as they were
swinging along through the park to-
gether one day. She used barely to
speak to me and now-butter wouldn't
melt in her mouth! She's so blamed
pleasant she worries me. It doesn't
seem natural!'
For reply Miss Milford stopped
short and fixed her eyes upon him
expressively. His color rose and he
looked rather confused.

laughed rnesrily after the manner OF
irresponsible young things who laugh
from mere Joy, until she abruptly re-
membered that in a woman of 3s such
behavior was shockingly frivolous
and. resolving to be more dignified,
she grew suddenly pepsive.

his arm, but year from now, If you
feel the Same-no, don't interrupt!
You think you will, but you don't

eyes with an expression he thought to
remember always. But youth has
ever a poor memory and year con-
tains 265 days.

A year had passed and another had
begun before Stuart Barton found
himself again In that particular part
of the park AS before, he was ac-
companied by a lady, young, proud
and superb looking, and as they seat
ed themselves on the Identical green
bench that he had occupied on a for

anxiously for the reply that she had
promised him. Later. the first furry
