A BABY'S WARDROBE.
Quite an Elaborate Affair In These
Luxurious Days.

Nothing ever devised could be too sweet
or too dainty for king or queen baby, and
the pretty accessories or additions brought
out go to show that infants clothes are
quite as much the subject of thought as
their elders.
Hand work enters largely into the con-
struction Of these garments. and the little
sacks or nightingales, as they are called,
hand made and hand embroidered, are Just
the daintiest things imaginable. In design
they are exact replicas of those worn by
grown-ups and the sleeves formed by ty-
ing with ribbons are such an Improvement
over the old style conventional ones into
which baby's arms had to be forced when
putting the garment on or Off that both
mothers and infants will welcome the newer
models. Soft cashmere or very fine serge Is
used for these clothes and the pattern Is so
simple that 1t Is impossible for the merest
amateur to make any mistake. provided she
has a model to follow. Half yard of ma
terial will be sufficient for the making, and
the decoration may be as plain or as elab-

Patterns for these small boots may be
bought and designs for the embroidery are
to use a pencil. The embroidery Is usually
in white. although a few pairs show dainty
colorings. For linen, white will be the more

not only compliment, but a help to the
hostess, as she is then relieved Of the re-
sponsibility of seeing that the guests have
something to eat.
To be quite perfect hostess the bride
must have nothing to distract her attention
from receiving her friends and seeing that
they enjoy themselves. She can contribute
largely toward this by introducing people
to each other and circulating among them
IL she notices any being left alone. The

Garden Party Frocks.

Some OF the prettiest garden party frocka
of the present season are made of spotted
net in a very pale ecru shade and worn
over underdresses OF white taffeta clouded
In chiffon. The combinations of pale coiors
In vogue at the moment are exceedingly
subtle and attractive. Wonderful effects
are obtained by the juxtapositlon OF chalk
white, cream white and pale ecru. These
effects are 50 delicate that they are vaguely
felt rather than realized, but they are quite
delightful for all that.
Many narrow founces are used for the
decoration OF point d'esprit skirts, and
these hounces are invariably arranged IN
carefully graduated widths. They cover the
hem Of the skirt far above the knees, and
the sleeves are generally decorated to
match.

CHAPTER ".

TT HE keen, strong March wind
soon blew the clouds from his
brain. He did not hurry toward
Z Hatton Garden. He sauntered,
rather with his right hand clinched
on the tiny parcel in his pocket, the
parcel which had suddenly been en-
dowed with such magic potentialities.
1t was the instinct to guard treasure
Of great value that led to this involun-
tary action. He was preoccupied, dis
turbed, vaguely striving to grasp a
vision that seemed to elude his exact
comprehension
What did it all mean? Was it really
possible that he, Philip Arson, or
phaned. beggared. practically a starv-
ing tramp, should have the riches of
Golconda showered upon him in this
mad fashion? If the small stone he
had shown to the jeweler were worth
hundreds, then some of those in the
paper were worth thousands, while as
for the stone in the back yard of his
house-well, imagination boggled at
the effort TO appraise 1t. The thought
begot sense of caution. Of reserve,

fered. Then. with the money in his
possession, he could effect much

them again, and gradually increase his
supply OF diamonds until he had OBJ

Office department at Washington, for
the Little Falls service Olaf Peter
SOD, the substitute carrier, who has
acted IN that capacity for two or
three years. has been appointed as the
fourth carrier. He is a deserving
young man and is now a first class
carrier. It was evident not long after
the city delivery service was started
here that tie number Of carriers vas
inso fdcleut to give the best scconamo-
dations to the city and an effort was
made several times TO have fourth
carrier added to the sersica. The
above notice vas received as a result
of the last effort and the CRY will now
be accommodated with a much oetter
service then it was capable of having
when there were OILY three men on

that tina improvements-me in

made in the post otfice, will now be
pushed along.
