Some New Neck Ornaments.

Among the really useful trinkets
may be counted the flexible metal sup
ports for collars. The newest of these
are shown set with diamonds or sap
phires. In this form they make a de-
cidedly satisfactory substitute for
other materials. There is nothing
more becoming to a woman than
simple ribbon or band of black velvet
around the throat. and these ribbons
are now decorated with jewels, span
giles and tiny beads. Seed pearls on
velvet are lovely and for older women
steel beads and paste on black are
most appropriate.

band and herself, but perhaps to the
safety of all of us. See II you cannot

About an hour after this, Enid re-
turns and remarks disappointedly:
Not a word from Marina except that
"a !, H., har

cover some day" Then she blushingly
asks: Where are you going to take
me after marriage?"
This is a proposition upon which

away to prepare for her coming nup-

Barnes's own preparations occupy
him most of the time till the cere-
mony, though he contrives to discuss
his yachting plans with Edwin.
"All right" answers the sailor,

room to visit his patients. He had said
very little while he sat there. and Elsie
did not know whether to laugh or cry
at the tragic comedy Of her environ
ment. She was only certain Of one
thing-she would like to box Boyle's
ears. She was completely at loss to
account for his persistent efforts to
drag in references to their prior con-
versation. She dared not catechise
him. That would be piling up more
difficulties for the future. But what
possessed him to burt out such en-
'barrassing details In the presence OF
the two men whom she most wished to
remain in ignorance of them7
She peeped at Boyle sideways. His
eyes were closed, the cigar was be-
tween his teeth, and he had a broad
grin on his face. She could not guess
that the once taciturn chief officer of
the Kansas was saying to himself:
"My godfather, how Pills glared!

the promenade deck she saw Courte-

consultation. They were arranging O

curry. While she was watching them
Walker dropped a broken furnace bar
on top of small package placed on

interested observer, jumped severa,

court house. At one time he and a few
others were interested in business
deal which they expected to put thru
on a certain day. He was unable to
be there, SO the next day telephoned to
Mr.. III. for particulars.
A lady answered the phone, and said
that Mr.. H. was not at home. Mr.. Pea

that she was on board. And he alone
would understand the true reason of
her fight from Chile. Her cheeks
flushed, and she applied herself more
closely to the chart she was copying.
She had left good deal unsaid in her
brief statement that morning. How
strange, how utterly unexpected, 1t
was that ventana's name should fall

Courtenay took his binoculars and
went on to the bridge. He called out
the apparent distance OF each land
mark he could distinguish, described
it and gave its true bearing. In the
result Elsie found she had prepared q
clear and fairly accurate chart of the
bay and its headlands, while the p0-
sition of the distant range Of noun
tains was marked with tolerable preci-
sion. But Courtenay was far from
being satisfied.
