Only one thing could make their mar riage possible. They would both have to give up their work. and narrow down their lives to an existence of do- mestic happiness and such charity as can be done by the ordinary good peo- pie of the world.
 For few minutes she nattered her. self with the visions of what she had lost and what she yet might win again. And then, like some clear. pitiless searchlight thrown upon the vague and dreary beauties of landscape at even tide. there broke upon her mind the truth.
 Before God called him"
 Father Francis had been speaking of the supposed death of Sir Richard GaunL But she did not doubt that he had chosen the woras carefully. They would bear another and truer inter pretation.
 So God had called him. His life had been spared. Ills mind and heart had been moulded to purer and nobler things. He had returned to England, a man of whom any woman might be proud. And to what end had all this been done? That he might marry her NO, that he might devote his life to a great work. and sacrifice everything to the accomplishment of his purpose. She bowed her head in her hands and prayed that God would be mercifui to both of them.

New York. August s.--tspecial)-- There are still few more weeks to talk about summer eiseancies, but before we will be hardly aware of the fast declining season the first autumn styles and hints will be shown us However. in the remaining weeks. every woman will epdeavor to be as attractively gowned as previously and although her gowns may show signs of wear. she Will have them freshened or partly remodeled. In this way her costumes may last through the sum- mer season and their appearance win also be slightly changed. The prin- cess gowns are more than ever in vogue and are showing new and dif- ferent arrangements in trimming which changes the whole effect of the costume. Some of these costumes are finished on the shoulders with bre- teiles and then the wais. IS cut In Ein- pire style. the sleeves and corsage be- ing made of net and mousseiipe chif- fen. Many of the gowns are made without any trimming, in absolutely plain lines, which reveal more care fully the perfect figure.

The shaped stock was made of Irish lace outlined with bands of plain lawn and furthermore was edged with three rows of silk cora. The long jabot was of white, net edg- ed with lace and was arranged in cascade fashion.
