At ball and rout nowadays one is in doubt whether the ladies have on reg uistion evening gowns or whether they are appearing in tea-gowns supposed 10 be for home wear only: so much like the old-fashioned negligee appear the empire dresses of the present. These dresses. however. are really made 0y artists, are not simple house gowns. The fronts of the skirts are gored to give them style. and after one has looked twice one decides they are very graceful and proper gowns for the pub lie eye. Soft velveteens make up. beau- tifrlly for these. and can be obtained in delectable shades. Without doubt the empire modes will greatly affect spring styles.
 And speaking of the future reminds us that it is going to take more and more goods to make the fashionable gown. Bodices are close-fitting. sleeves are smaller. but oh. the skirts! the way they demand material.
 Our illustration may seem rather elaborate. but the models need not be copied exactly. we simply desire to show the prevailing styles in evening dress. Note the wide. but not sloping shoulders of the empire gown. and the length and voluminousness of the skirt. The draped bodice of the second model is of latest mode. and also that of the remaining figure.

Old raspberry color is most modish to select for ones dressy afternoon cloth costume, and 1t may be toned down by dark wrap and furs. Pink hats for evening are seen a-many, and we feel moved to make forecast that the fashionable hat for late winter. the time when folk are tired of the chapeau that has got worn and drag gled, will be the pink beaver adorned with green leaves and Parma violets.
 Pink for evening dress is lovely this year. Recently there was worn at restaurant dinner charming creation Of pale pink and pale yellow, the ma terial shot silk The trimming consist ed of little touches of pale pink velvet. Tie chemisette was sheer lace over pink chiffon. and close about the neck Iay two strands of pale coral beads. Another gown we think worthy of de scription was one that could be copied with old material about the house, or rather the lining might be. The out side was black chiffon. which of course would have to be new and fresh: the foundation was black satin. A band Of silver braid bordered the skirt the girdle was of silver. and there was siIyer-embroidere chiffon scarf draped as Q fichu. Such dress as this would be stunning for the girl with shining rayeL tresses.

My first duty was 10 awaken Mont gomery and tie man Williams. Both of them I dispatched by means of ladder to join Sheppard on the heights. and. that done, I took a lantern and descended into the corridor of dun geons. My light was but feeble. and my progress was necessarily slow along that path of inky blackness. At each of the turnings I paused and, pro ceeding to the bottom, peered out through the grating on the waters or the fosse. I had in this manner and exercising this precaution made the cir cult of half the castle and wss now upon the southern face and, as con cluded in the proximity of Sheppard and the others Here it was that met my first alarm.

The apparition loomed before the bars of the window and with quick movement seemed to push forward as though to enter. lnyolun- tarily I started back into the darkness. The face glared at me. pressing upon ! the bars. the lip twisted over the red gums and yellow fangs, and the water ! dripping from it's black hair. Its eyes measured me with a glance, and for ! half a minute of time we stood con ! fronting each other, my tiny thread of ] light streaking the ghastly apparition ! with yellow. The next moment it had i vanished and. my wits returning in 1 tide. I flung myself forward to the 1 grating and looked out. The lantern
 shone upon tbe dark waters. and that was all. But this was more than 1 enough for me. and was aware that
 1t was likely to be quite enough for our assailants.
 Hurriedly quilted the corridor and
