MODELS DESCRIBED.

For stout woman the centre illustration is
admirabI adapted. The tapering princess lines
producel by the band of insertion, forming deep
V on the top portion and panier effect on the
skirt, all tend to taper the waist and increase
the height of the wearer
The yoke is composed of alternate blocks Of
lace and embroidered batiste
The model in the corner is an artistic exam
pie of rufhing possibilities also princess. Hero
the intermediate trimming consists of bands of
plain material and Valenciennes insertion. The
fullness at the waist is confined by gathers and
shocking not infrequently appears

cess trimmed with rufhes and narrow Maltese

Some years ago embroidered rufiing of vary
ing widths enjoyed the prestige of the multitude
and this summer promises to repeat its former
success.
Ruffing is most admirably employed for skirts.
Three or four bands with plain material in be-
tween or bands of lace, placed one upon the
other, comprise many of the most effective and
smartest skirt models Around the edge to save
its delicate beauty fri of lace will be placed,
and when this becomes worn it is much easier
to supply than the embroidered foot ruffe.
Usually, the wider widths of ruffing are en-
ployed for gowns and the edges are scalloped
in the buttonhole-stitch. Rufhing with deep
points is in special demand though, of course,
one sees the circular outline as well and some
women prefer it to the Van Dyke points
OF the fashionable laces there is an enviable
assortment and of course thread aces are in
immense favor with those fortunate women who
can afford them.

Modiste upon her price for making the same the
cost of the gown will spin into figures altogeth-
er sllsprising, and you very glad to resort
to the storemade garment.
The lavish use of all sorts of garniture requires
yards upon yards, but in most cases the actual
amount is little dreamed of, and to the novice
is altogether deceptive.
These facts are only appreciated after an actual
experience, and usually dose is sufficiently
persuasive.
VOGUE OF BATISTE,
Did any one say that you only wanted one lin
gerie frock? -
How woman can convince herself of this af-
ter beholding the airy alllring materials manu-
factured for her special delectation and the Won
derful laces and embroideries, passes this scrib-
bler's comprehension.
Batste comes first, both plain and embroidered,
inset with lace motifs in the form of blocks.
Batste comes first as a favorite material, both
plain and embroidered. Many of the best de
signs are very heavily padded, decoration that
is thrown into relief by dainty little eyelet holes,
that give much character.
Batiste is seen in white, cream and in deli
cate shades of pale blue, pink and buff, also
in brown and those dull pinks and blues every
body thinks so stunning. The decoration is
usually in white, coming out a bold contrast
against the background of color.
French nainsook is good to treat as a robe.
Plain and embroidered Swisses with white or
colored figures are especially attractive. Mostly
plain, neat figures are shown in white or col
ored Swisses that vary from so cents to
$3.50 and So yard, according to the character
Of the decoration and the quality. A figured
Swiss combined with plain Swiss instantly pro-
duces a pleasing effect and in many cases gives
more distinction than where line of transpar-
ent decoration is used.
Persian lawns, lmon d'Inde, handkerchief lin
en-, mulls, silk muslin, cotton chiffons dimties,
organdies and others of the same class are par
ticularly fashionable.

queens all for summer wear.
But oh, dear, the closer we get to this lace

It's handmade loveliness has required an ez-

While many of the dressy models shown
in the shops seem exorbitant at first thought,
when you stop to consider the amount of work
put upon them and the varied character of the
embellishments the conclusion is reached that the
price is but fair for both retailer and purchaser.

Englshmen in those days were skilled
and prompt in such matters, for 1t was
not long before that Edward had embarked
as many as fifty thousand men in the port
of Orwell, with their horses and their
baggage, all in the space of four-and-
twenty hours. So urgent was Sir Nigel
on the shore. and so prompt was Goodwin

Buttesthorn had scarce swallowed his
last scallop ere the peal of trumpet and
clang of maker announced that all Mas

strange contrast to one another, while
under the feet of the rOwers was lite;

ordered to be carried to the cog. Thesl

aloft with stones and arbalests."
Meanwhile there had been hustle and
preparation in all parts of the great YES
sci. The archers stood in groups about
the decks, new-stringing their bows and
testing that they were firm at the nocks
Among them moved Aylward and other
of the older soldiers, with few whispered
words of precept and of warning there.

the old bowman, as he passed from knot

archer, running his eye backward and
forward. "Ijy my ten finger-bOnes it

further end of the poop, balancing them

drawn, until the heads of the cloth-yard

The throng of pirates had cleared away
from the great wooden catapult, leaving
two of their number to discharge it.
One in a scarlet cap bent over it, steady
ing the jagged rock which was balanced
on the spoon-shaped end of the long
wooden lever. The other held the
loop of the rope which would re-
lease the catch and send the un-
wieldly missile hurtling through the
air. So for an instant they stood, show
ing hard and clear against the white sail
behind them. The next, redcap had fallen
across the stone with an arrow between
his ribs; and the other, struck in the leg
and in the throat, was writhing and splut-
tering upon the ground. As he toppled
backward he had loosed the spring, and
the huge beam of wood, swinging round
with tremendous force, cast the corpse
of his comrade so close to the English
ship that its mangled and distorted limbs
grazed her very stern. As to the stone,
it glanced off obliquely and fell midway
between the vessels. A roar of cheering
and of laughter broke from the rough
archers and seamen at the sight, answered

ourled from under his black velvet cap

stride and spring of his step, it was clear
that he had not yet lost the fire and
activity of his youth. His fierce hawk
like face was clean shaven like that of a
priest, save for long thin wisp of white
mustache. That he had been handsome
might be easily judged from his high
aquiline nose and clear-cut chin but his
features had been so distorted by IN,

with his left hand. "They will learn

The three vessels had been sweeping
swiftly westward, the cog still well TO

left was a hard skyline unbroken by n

backwards, the fresh wind full in his
teeth.
what was that?" he asked, as a hiss
ing, sharp-drawn voice seemed to whisper
in his ear. The steersman smiled, and
pointed with his foot to where a short,
heavy cross-bow quarrel stuck quivering
in the boards At the same instant the
man tumbled forward upon his knees, and
lay lifeless upon the deck, the blood
stained feather of a second bolt jutting
out from his back. As Alleyne stopped
to raise him, the air seemed to be alive
with the sharp zip-zip of the bolts. and he
could hear them pattering on the deck
like apples at a tree-shaking.
"Keep them in play, Aylward. with ten
of your men," said Sir Nigel. And let

answered cheerfully, and passed his order

the pirates swooped.

Their leader, Goodwin Hawtayne, stood
upon the poop and talked with Sir Nigel,
casting his eye up sometimes at the
swelling sail, and then glancing back at
the two seamen who held the tiller.
Pass the word" said Sir Nigel, that
no man shall stand to arms or draw his
bow-string until my trumpeter shall

"They seem very gallant ships, and l
trust that we shall have much pleasance
from our meeting with them. 1t would
be we'll to pass the word that we should
neither give or take quarter this day.
The yellow cog had now shot out from
the narrow waters of the Solent, and was
plunging and rolling on the long heave OF
the open channel. The wind blew
freshly from the east, with very keen
edge to it: and the great sail bellied
roundlv ont. laying the vessel over until
the water hissed beneath her lee bull

dered from wave to wave, dipping her
round bows deep into the blue rollers,
and sending the white fakes of foam in
a spatter over her decks. On her lar
board quarter lay the two dark galleys,
which had already hoisted sail and were
shooting out from Freshwater Bay in
swift pursuit. their double line of oars
giving them a vantage which could not
fail to bring them up with any vessel
which trusted to sails alone. High and
bluff the English cog; long, black, and
swift the pirate galleys, like two fierce
lean wolves which have seen lordly
and unsuspecting stag walk past their
