The last thing she remembered as she drop ped of to sleep was determination to speak to the girl herself. the next she was standing dazed and terror stricken in the middle of the street, without any definite knowledge of how she came there. She was in a pale blue kimono. her feet in bedroom slip pers. Past her thronged white Tipped, disheyeled men and women. The ground was swaying beneath her feet.

In the midst of this appalling nightmare she had but one thought-to be near to other human beings. On went the crowd. panic stricken. hurrying. and she with it. In vain she looked for familiar face. Where were her neigh bors? Where were her servants? But Mrs. Carter had never treated her serv- ants with consideration, and in this hour of common peril they had not stood upon the order of their going.

Terror seized her for its own. She swayed with the throng, leaf in the current. Her hands clutched the edges of her kimono; her feet trod unfamiliar ways. With a blind instinct for self preservation she kept to the middle of the street, till in a dingy thoroughfare she stumbled against eucalyptus tree that lay up- rooted.

was pale blue in color and fitted so
tightly that it expressed Mrs. Keppel's

Incidentally, the closely nodded sheath
prevented her from walking except
with little, choppy steps, like a Japa-

Mrs. Keppel, who is discreet. did not
go into the presence Of Queen Alex

such extremes of fashion to become

until she went to the kings private

Imminent. and some of the cantonal
governments are lending assistance to
the factories in order to keep the peoo

as compared with the corresponding
period of 1907. The export Of watches
rom Switzerland in 1906 amounted to
.$29.O00,0 900 In value, of which only
4l76.O00 came from sales in the United
States.
Certain portions Of the Swiss
watches are as q rule handmade, but
not so sdeftly that they can vie with
the delicate mechanical adjustments
which supplant the hand process in
the watch factories of other countries.
Some Of the most expensive watches
are still made in Switzerland. Their
superiority is challenged by the finest
of the British and American makes,
while the ordinary grades of Swiss
watches have already yielded to for
