Now It's the Empire.

The empire style is good deal to the
fore in lingeries just now. 1t Is espe-
cially noticeable in night gowns, many
of which have the characteristic EN-
pire feature, which may be called with
equal variety the long yoke or the
short waist. 1t is much used in the
finest grade of night robes, and in fact,
in the daintiest of all lingerie. Ere
duently the short waist or yoke is en-.
tirely of lace or embroidery. Low
necks and short or elbow sleeves char
acterize all fine underwear at present.

From the wooded banks of the river
the country gradually became treeless,
great grassy plain stretching to the
horizon and in all this wide expanse
there was not spring Of mint. There
were spots alongside the river and its
tributary brooks which should have
been the abiding place of the herb;
marshy lowlands the true habitat Of
mint, but the four winds either re-
fused to bear the seeds or they died
of hopeless nostalgia when they fell,
for mint had been neither tasted nor
smelled in Barlow. Those native to
the place did not repine, they had
never had its scent permeate their
nostrils nor had the delicate touch of
the mint julep rested upon their pal
ates. William Duncan, of Maryland
and Henry Fargis. of Virginia, how.
ever, missed 1t sadly. While they
held the two states on either side of
the Potomac to be a special work of
the Creator and possessing PROJECTIONS

they could not imagine a beneflcent
Providence denying any part of the

Fargis and Duncan had been plant
ers In their respective states and
their fortunes having been marred by
the Civil War they had emigrated to
the Southwest and bought contiguous
farms. They hated each other. The
feud began as sometimes a great war
begins-from trivial happenings. Far
gis' hogs broke into Duncan's enclo-
sure and damaged crop. They were
elected, but so strong was the men,
ory of the Duncan turnip that they
repeated the trespass and a hog was
shot. Then Duncan's dog, obivous
OF boundary lines trotted across a
Fargis field and he was shot. The
dog was valueless, indeed Mr.. Duncan
had sought to give him away num-

vanished for Tom Duncan, son of VIII

method Of love making they were
obliged to pursue was rapidly making
diplomatists of both, as neither dared
allow the knowledge of their attach

and their meetings called for the
skill and trail-hiding ability of an In.
dian scout. Nevertheless, they met at
intervals but with Hopeless prospect
OF ever being more than lovers.
