soon found himself at the stables.
The stables upon which he had come
were not the well-kept stables where
the family horses of Salvarez were
kept, but the sheds of the artillery and
cavalry beasts. They consisted of lit

Tempest plunged in among them and

was plain that he must think quickly
and to some purpose, and to act as
quickly. His first thought was to re-
turn to the secret passage. 1t sudden

when Tempest was obliged to think
quickly, he acquitted himself credit
ably. 1t was so in this instance, as it
had been in many others all over the

did not hesitate, but plunged through
the increasing depth of water that was
pouring in through the entrance to
the caverns. and fioundered through
the swash toward the lantern that still
hung high up where the water would
not reach it for few hours at least.
He hurried up the stone steps to the

,NELNET A.Np LAcE THEATaE. Gown

These gowns are complete In them
selves. but tho wrap or cloak worn
with them must be on the same order
of cloth. A long, pale gray velvet coat
or wrap, trimmed with chinchilia or
sable. Is In itself handsome garment,
and worn over gray gown, such as
just described, Is well worth the price
asked for it, and that it is a goodly
sum is easily understood. The long fur
wrap, chinchllla or sable. that Dame
Fashion recommends for her followers
who do not have to consider expense Is,
however, too costly for the majority
of womankind to possess, and conse-
quentiy the cloth garment is more
often seen. There are, however, shorter
wraps of the most costly furs that
are expensive enough to suit the most
extravagant. Again, chinchiila and
sable lead in the race for popularity,
but there are any number OF less costly
furs that are effective and fashionable.
This matter of smart wrap must be
carefully considered for the Horse
Show outfit. and no end of trouble is
taken to have it smart, becoming and
original. The expensive fur wrap can
be worn with all gowns, but the cloth
or satin one must be more carefully
manned to accord with the gown
Altogether, as may readily be imag-
ined, the fashionable costume for Horse
Show week is comprehensive enough
for a brides trousseau, when the morn
ing costume, the afternoon and even
ing gowns, the wraps. the furs, the
hats and a.l the nlnutiae are CON-
sidered, for the same morning gown
cannot be worn every day. nor the
afternoon one seen more than twice,
and yet the prudent. practical woman
brings forward the argument that to
walt until the great event takes place
means that it is far easier to plan out
the winters outfit after seeing so many
good gowns than 1t is to decide be-
forehanei. At all events. there are the
clothes to be seen, and a the same time
there is an unexampled opportunity to
wear them. SO that surely every one

Light -Colored Velvets.

The light colors OF velvet In the
elaborate models are In many different
shades and the trimmings are In ac-
cord. Silver and steel trimmings and
always the hand embroidery in silk
stand out effectively against the velvet,
while the natural sheen Of the material
seems but to intensity the beauty Of
the colorlng. Again, the pale grays
show to advantage, while the chiffon.
chiffon cloth and chiffon velvet are all
combined. There are many varieties
of satin and satin finished cloths that
are made up for the more elaborate
gowns, but be it understood the satin
gown of today has nothing in common
with the satin gown OF olden time
it is, in fact, more often a satin
finished material, in crepe de chine and
much lighter in weight, than the ordi-
nary satin. A charming shade OF coral
red Is a favorite color. and while the
skirt is rather plain the waist is trim
med with passementerie the same color.
and the yoke and collar are of heavy
cream net. In description this coloring
seems crude; in reality it is effective
and not too much of q contrast
The chiffon and cloth gowns, satin
finish, are the most elaborate of anv:
the entire gown Is of the chiffon. or
chiffon cloth, trimmed with bands of
the cloth. Over both the cloth and
chiffon is the embroidered design In
varied shades of leaves Velvet is
often used in place of the cloth and
the embroidery is in silk, satin and
velvet
