Gown In OLD Design.

A costume was worn at reception
not long ago that was SO original that
it was positively refreshing. 1t con-
sisted OF a green velvet gown and
mantle Of Just the shade you would
imagine the heroine of historical
novel would wear. The gown was
long and straight and fell in graceful
lines from the bare shoulders, being
loosely fitted at the waist. The angel
sleeves were fitted with raw silk in a
faint old blue, deeply embroidered up
from the hand on the inside in rich
purple, relieved with white. The dec
olletage was embroidered with the
same design in seed pearls, amethysts
and turquoises, to carry out the color
scheme.
The mantle was a graceful thing in
green, with blue and purple tones,
and draped over the left shoulder,
where 1t was fastened with a great
jeweled clasp of ancient design. The
whole was as truly medieval as any,
thing ever seen of the stage, and yet
the effect was not in the least start
ling.
To be graceful and womanly in
dress is an object worth striving for
and can never result in bad taste.

Change In Corsets.

There is quite a change in the
style of corsets for this season." says
a corset salesman. "a new style hay
been made for certain figures that
have never before been shown. The
bust line will be heightened. That,
does not mean that old-fashioned, high
bust corset is coming in style againA 4
but that there will be drop in tho
waist line. The high bust corsets
will probably never come in again, at
least for many years. Heretofore the
line below the waist has occupied so
much attention that the waist line las
been neglected, but this new form has
remedied this defect. The styles that
prevailed in the last season will sill
be good, but the new one takes care
of figures that have not heretofore re-
ceived much attention.
"The tendency in the corset marxet
is getting to be gradually toward
higher grade goods. Women are get
ting more particular than they used
to be.
''It may seem strange, but a much
more expensive and higher grade cor
set can be sold in South Africa tlIan
in this country. There we can sell a
s35 corset where we cannot sell one

AS Jeans eyes fingered over the
final word. he seemed to see the smile,
half rallying-entirely tender, that was
the invariable accompaniment of their
playful naming of one another. He
seemed to see it touch the firm lips,

him.
All this faded away, and. with a
gulping sob, sounding like the cry of a
lonely heart, the boy flung his head

New Orleans, and the night before
New Years day of 1895. saw the win
dows of the governors house ablaze
with light, and constant stream of
people coming and going through the
wide-flung portals. Selected musicians
from the fort played for the dancers
in the ball room and entertained the
large gathering of spectators outside,
who looked through the open windows
upon the flash of color and sparkle of
gems, as the elite of the city and
province celebrated the annual ball
given by Don Francisco Louis Hector,
Baron de Carondelet. Governor and
Intendant of Louisiana and West Flor.

stole down to touch his brow. But

Late in the afternoon of this same
day, Pere Huot. sitting with Jean in
the latter's room. had been informing
him OF what had transpired since the
morning Murier brought him to the
shelter and safety OF his present
abode.
He watched the boys face care
fully as he told him of Margots bur-

his bedside, where he lay tossing in
delirium; and the good priest re-
joiced within himself to see the look
of dogged grief soften into one of sub

Jean.
