This beautiful gown may be made Of
less expensive materials and with less
elaboration of detail. and yet the same
general effect and style Of gown might
be achieved at far less expense.
Another flmy and beautiful lingerie
wedding gown is shown in Figure B.
The top of its bodice is finished with
a little yoke of lace, square at the
throat and quite irregular in firm. The
lace extends down in the top of the
bodice in little irregular figures inter
mingled with embroidery. The front of
the bodice has en- inserted lace galloon
on each side Of a narrow band of shir-
ring. with irregular blossoms of lace
extending out on each side of the gall
loon into the sheer linen lawn which
forms the sides. These are decorated
with flowers and foliage in partly open
and partly outlined embroidery. and are
given the effect of panels b. means of
inserted slips of open. heavy lace
Small diamond-shaped rnedaIlions of
the same lace are inserted in the lower
portion of the bodice and sides of the
skirt. A shaped piece of lace secures
the fullness Of the blouse at the waist
and gives a princess outline to the gown,
A bit of shirred lawn Is introduced into
this lace at the sides to repeat the
trimming in front and also TO strengthen
the filmy fabric. The blouse and skirt
button in the back, and, of course, are
all one piece.
The sleeve tops are of interrningled
lace and embroidery. finished with a
cuff OF three outstanding ruff1es of lace
at the elbow. Soft white satin ribbon
is caught upon this cum in little bows
here and there. slanting from the front
upward toward the back.
A shirred band extends down the
front of the skirt. beginning IN a mar
row strip at the top and widening to-
ward the bottom. 1t is bordered by

whose edge Is trimmed with Valencien-

The Charm of the Motifs of Lace.
In order to lengthen the train the in
serted bands of embroidery are some
what larger at the sides and back and
an extra row of embroidery is inserted
on each side and extends around the
back
The top of the bodice yoke has three
rows Of lace inserting put on in scaIlops
around it, the one next the neck being
edged with pIeated Valenciennes lace.
Around the shoulders the yoke is outlin-
ed with Nalenciennes inserting. with al
ternate large and small medallions set
in the scaHops thus formed. All the
medalhons are edged with a frill of mar
row Nalenciennes lace Below this bands
of inserting and embroidery are put on
in irregular lines. the upper one, with
high. sharp points running up into the
yoke. the lower one forming a deep
bertha with rounded points.
In these points are inserted the en-
broidered horseshoe decoration seen at
the bottom OF the skirt and finished
with a pleated edging of Valenciennes
Lace The top of the princess skirt is
concealed by this lingerie bertha which
quite covers the top of the fitted lining
bodice. The bertha also covers the
sleeves. which are short and puffed and
finished with tucked pun adorned with
three lace frills that droops slightly over
a fitted elbow cuff Of inserting edged
with a pleated frill.
A gown like this is worn over a silk
slip or has an under slip Of silk veiled in
chiffon which gives wonderfully soft
effect to the gown. 9

- HE wedding gown in Figure A
illustrates a very charming lin
gerie dress for a summer bride.
1t is of embroidered null and real
Nalenciennes lace. The princess skirt is
formed of alternate rows of embroid-
cred null in A rose pattern, and Valen-
ciennes inserting an inch and a half
in width The embroidered panels are
scarcely more than in inch wide at the
lower part. where each panel terminates
in a scaIlop. These panels extend to
below the knees in front. each one be-
coming shorter toward the back, the
difference in length not being very
marked. Near the lower portion of the
panels the lace inserting which borders
them becomes double. This double in
sertaon separates near the curve of the
panels and is gathered to their scallops
in order that the lower edges of the lace
may lie fiat upon the founce of null
below them The upper part Of this
flounce is in irregular scalIops and fan
shaped pieces of material with the
shaped pieces of material outlined by
Valenciennes inserting about three-quar-
ters of an inch in width
Those irregular circles of material be-
tween the two second rows Of inserting
have in their centers large medallions
OF embroidered null in wreath patterns

medallions are sewed 10 the material
Below this part Of the decoration an ir-
regular band Of embroidery is inserted
IN long, shallow points. Trailing sprays
OF roses are embroidered in this band

''Thats the only thing we can do" he
said. .You stay here on watch, so as to be
sure that there is no trick being played, and
l will go over to the camp and get the things
we found in the keg."
Bob was astonished at the resignation dis
played by the mate He had expected that
Percy would be SO angry that he would insist
on retaining the cryptogram, no matter what
might happen, and his willingness to sur
render everything was thorough surprise.
But Percy was not nearly as resigned as he
appeared to be. He recognized the fact that
their enemy had them at disadvantage;
but he thought he could SO transpose mat
ters that, in the end, they would be winners.
The cryptogram and rope had been buried
in the sand near the camp when Percy went
to work on the raft, and, as soon as he left
Bob, he ran to the hidng-place, with an ex-
preston on his face that would have puzzled
the Jaqutas captain could he have seen it.

his steps to the harbor, "and with the start
i have got, / believe | shall come out ahead" +"
When he rejoined Bob, the latter was sit
ting on the beach, with his chin in his hands,
gazing in the direction of the Jaquita, per-
feet picture of disappointment, and Percy
seated himself by his side without speaking.
Its pretty rough" Bob sad at length,
slowly, and in an angry tone, ITO have to do
just as that scoundrel dictates"
Indeed it is; but so long as there's moth
ing else left to do, we might as well make
the best of it. Let's get Dud out of his clutch
es, and then we will try to think up some
ALL"
Bob turned quickly as this speech of resig-
nation was ended, while he looked search
ingly at his companion; but there was moth
ing in Percy's face to show that he had any
hope of ever getting the treasure and the
conversation ceased
From that time until daybreak the two sat
on the beach, keeping a jealous watch over
their vessel, and it was not till Gomez hailed
them that either spoke.
"lf you are ready to accept my terms,
come out and make the offer," the Spaniard
shouted.
And Bob muttered from between his tight
ly-clenched teeth

ly and Percy had no trouble in carrying out
the plan he had already formed in his mind.
When he took the secret messages from
their place of concealment he copied the
cryptogram carefully on the back Of the pa
per containing the comfortable. That done,
and after he had assured himself that not Il
letter was missing he uncoiled the rope, com
pairing the knots with the list Of measure
ments made by Bob.
Having assured himself that they were
correct he hid the piece of brown paper
which he believed to be so valuable in the
lining of his vest, taking good care to dispose
of it in such a manner that it could not be
discovered except after the most rigid scru-
tiny:
"We'll give the pirate everything we found, !"
he muttered to himself, after this had been
done; "bnt |, at least will be careful not 70
say that he gets the messages exactly as we
found them. He is deliberately stealing from
us, and it can be no harm TO lead him astray-"
As he said this he united the first third,
fifth SIXTH seventh thirteenth and seven
teenth knots in the rope, and then creased
the whole with piece of turtle fat SO that
the creases where it had been tied would
not show. II presented plain. smooth sur
face, except where the balance of the knots
yet remained.
A few moments OF vigorous rubbing with
dry sand sufficed to remove all signs of the
recent lubrication, and Percy was ready 10
surrender the articles demanded by the Span
lard.

But we can't" replied Percy cheerfully.
$50 we may as well make the best of bad

Bob looked quite as angry as he felt when
he stepped on the raft, and, in a petulant
manner, began to sculr her toward the felucca.
1t was now SO light that they could see
Dudley lashed to the mast, as the pirate had
threatened. and it was evident from the ex-
preston on his face that he was suffering
from the hveliest apprehensions lest his com
pani0ns would not agree to the terms upon
which he could be set free. 1t was impos-
sibe for him to speak. owing to large wad
of oakum that had been tied in his mouth,
otherwise he would have pleaded with his
friends to do all they could toward gaining
for him his liberty

glided along even faster than they
had hoped, and Bob took the precaution OF
arranging the plan of action before they we're
very far from the shore.

such blow as will stun him before he can
shoot"
In perfect silence the raft crept over the
water until she was SO near the Jaqnta that

been discovered, when they thought their pui

make no answer. They had ceased sculline
at the instant the weapon had been discharged.
and now STOOD with their oars in their
hands, in a state bordering on stupefactloni.

eyes, he's here, and tomorrow morning you
will see him lashed to the mast, where he
will have nothing to eat or drink until you
comply with my demand"
"Are you really there, Dud!" Bob asked.
There was no reply for a moment, and then
the cook s voice was heard, husky and weak,
as if gag had just been removed from his
mouth.
Eyes, Bob; and do give the man that pa
per, for it isn't worth anything to us. He
has kept me tied in the cabin all day, and I'm
nearly dead"
Now you know just what can do, and
you may rest assured that | shall keep my
word!' shouted Gomez. "Give me what you
found, and / will get into my own boat, leav-
ing you to do as you choose. But / don't
propose to complete the bargain tonight Go
on shore now, and as soon as it is daylight
you can come back and give me your answer"
The boys were not disposed to obey this
last command, but the click Of musket-lock
warned them not to delay. They knew only
too we'll that they could accomplish nothing,
and sorrowfully they began to propel the raft
toward the shore. hearing, as they did so, a
muf1ed cry from Dud, that told he was being
gagged again.
They were as powerless to aid their friend
against the will Of Gomez as they Were to aid
themselves and during the few minutes that
elapsed before they landed they wished many
times that they had never even so much as
heard of the pirates treasure.

A BARGAIN.

HY0T is not difficult to imagine the con-
I#I sternation into which Bob and Per
kAk ey were plunged after learning ex-
IQgN&0I actly the condition of affairs on
49, board the felucca. They had ac-
complished nothing by their noctur-
nal expedition; but, on the. contrary, had
found that they were wholly in the power of
the Spaniard unless they were willing to
leave poor Dudley to his fate.
Owing to their loyalty to their friend, they
could do nothing less than comply with the
demand made by the man whom they looked
upon as a pirate, and the same thought was
in the minds of both as they stepped from
their oddly-fashioned craft to the beach.
Bob purposely said nothing while they were
sculing ashore, because his mind was fully
made up as to the course they should pur-
sue, and he wanted the suggestion to come
from his companion, who, from the moment
they had encountered difficulties, had been
the first to propose offensive measures.
"There's one thing certain" Percy said,
as he secured the raft by hawser Of wild
vine, eve can't leave poor Dud out there IN

SELECT COMMITTEE ON WIRELESS
Great Britain Will Inquire Into Recent Con-

London. Dec 1S.-The British government has
promised to appoint a select committee TO in
quire into the proposals embodied In the wire
less telegraph convention. recently held in Ber-
lin, previous 10 ratification. This decision was
reached after debate in the House of Commons
to-day. Sir Edward Sassoon Liberal Unionist,
moved that, in view of the experimental, unde-
veloped condition of radio telegraphy. the House
regarded with apprehension any engagements
hampering the complete freedom of action of the
state. Sir Edward COntended that Great Brit
ain had played second fiddle TO Germany at
the conference and that, having efficient
system this country ought not to be dspos-
sessed of its unquestioned initial advantage.
Confusion, the speaker asserted, must result
from an interchange of messag ges between the
different systems. The inevitable result of the
convention would be to encourage foreign coun-
trles to collect Information regarding the dispo-
siton Of Great Britain's wireless arrangements
around the coast. While Great Britain on
friendly terms with Germany, she could not
overlook the enormous sacrifices which the lat

that the British delegates to the wireless tele-
