A Waist Protector.

Cotton crepe in charming and fasci-
mating designs in pale pink, blue, vel
low and lavender may be bought for
IS cents a yard in any Of the shops.
Two yards is required for each PRO
tector." The slip needs no cutting, as
the strip of goods simply is folded and
sewed up like a pillow slip, except
that both the top and bottom are left
open. The bottom then is hemmed
and the top is sewed exactly like the
shoulders and neck of a waist, or, in
other words, the top is sewed together,
all but a portion about seven inches
long In the center. The waist is
hung on a hanger and the protector
, Is slipped over it. The bottom is the
oa;y part open. and the waist in this
way is protected from all dust. If SC

But never a word or hint of this
fell from her lips. Ray raj so far
above her and such a young hero, that
she, a homeless outcast, tainted by
the filth and service of Tins Place,
could only look to him as she did to
the moor
Not for one instant did he realize
the growing independence and self-re-
lance of this wilderness waif. OF how
the first feeling that she was a burden
upon these kind people would chafe
and vex her defiant nature, until she
would scorn even love, to escape it.
Just now the tender impulse Of
love was all Ray felt or considered.
This girl of sweet sixteen and utter
confidence in him was so enthralling
in spite of her crude speech and lack
/ of education, her kisses we're so much
his to take whenever chance offered,
and himself such a young hero In her
sight, that he thought of naught else
In this, or at least SO far as his
reasoning went, they were like two
grown-up children entering a new
world-the enchanted garden of love
Or like two souls merged into n ii
impulse, yet in no wise conscious VIII!

AGAIN THE SAMPLER STITCH.
Patterns of Long Ago Favorites for
Modern Fancy Work.

The dear, queer old sampler stitch
is "in" again for fancy work. If you
have one of these monuments to
ruined eye-sight tucked away in the
storeroom, do get it out as a model.
Pillows, cushions and little holders
are worked in the old~-fashioned trees
and triangles over which u grand
mothers pricked their fingers and
worked so asslduously in the days
when the world was much younger
than now. Far more taste is, however,
shown, as a rule, in the choice OF
colors, and the rainbow tints are neat
ly blended in very artistic patterns.
There is something wonderfully fas'
cinating in taking up the old styles
over which these dear souls found SO
much interest. There is little wonder
that the granddaughters and great
granddaughters take so much interest
in what was just as fascinating, per
haps, t2 those who made the origina'
sampler patterns.

FREsAENlNe UP CLOTH SUITS.
Damage Done by Rough Weather Not
Hard to Put Right.

About this season the sunshine and
the ~lengthening days disclose the dam
age done ones street clothes by win
ter's storms. Until tried, one fails to
realize what an amount of freshening
up a little %strapping with a well-select'
ed braid will do on a cloth suit, espe-
cially on those with plated skirts
where the plat edges are looking a
wee bit shabby, and the coat seams
correspond. A braid of half-inch width
means but half the labor of s%outache,
for two rows of the latter must be
sewed on for any good result or to
properly conceal the threadbare look
at seams. If the skirt is in wide
enough plaits, say, for instance, from
three to five inches at ending a little
above knee, the half-inch braid can be
chosen. This must be put almost at
the extreme edge and sewed on both
sides to look like the work of a tailor,
Just above where the stitching stops
and the plat stops turn the braid
sharply toward the back of the plat
and end 1t in a neatly-shaped point al
two-thirds the width of the plat. II
the plaits are narrow, use two rows
of soutache very close together, ant
get the very narroy, fine kind the
tailors put on their gowns. These car
be combined in a button effect ant
placed where the braid ends, for other
wise the soutache would look toc
skinny If taken across the plat.

cut Of large saplings. It stood at the
foot Of a high bank on the north OF
the knoll and close to the lake, and
here, out Of the sunshine, yet handy
to fill, stood his creation. Its double
walls of poles were stuffed with moss
its roof chinked with blue clay, a
sliding door gave ingress. and even
now, with summer almost gone, an
ample supply of ice remained in it.
In the division of duties among
these campers, Levi usually started
the morning fire while OLD Cy visited
the ice-house for anything needed. One
morning after the new cabin was COM
pleted, he came here as usual.
A fine string of trout caughtby Mar
tin and Ray the day before were
hanging in. this ice-house, and secur-
ing what was needed, Old Cy closed
the door and turned away. AS usual
with him, he glanced up and down
the narrow beach to see if a deer had
wandered along there that morning,
and in doing SO he now saw, close to
the waters edge and distinctly out
lined in the damp sand, the print of
moccasined foot.
1t was of extra large size, and as

Curious now, and somewhat startled

YOUR SHOES AND STOCKINGS.
Important Articles Of Wear When
Comfort Is Considered.

New stockings make the feet feel
more comfortable and in these days
of low-price hose n need not wear
stockings that are mended. 1t is much
better to wear fresh stockings fitted
to the foot.
The stocking should not be long
enough to make a crease in the shoe.
But it should not be short. Short
stockings are responsible for the
bunion. They cramp the foot.
Tight shoes are nirrored in a wom-
ans expression. There never lived a
woman who could wear tight shoes
without frowning. Tight shoez are re-
sponsible for the early destruction OF

These costumes are made OF yelle
or similarly lightweight spring-like
material and trimmed with cloth OF
the same color. The coats, which are
part of the costume, are made Of the
cloth which trims the gown. The ar
rangement is not only very smart, but
very sensible as well, because a elotn
coat worn with so thin a gown Is a
more suitable weight for spring than
a three-piece cloth costume, which Is
generally much too warm, or a three
piece wolfe costume, which may on &C
casion lack the necessary weigh.
These coats or jackets to be worn
with afternoon costumes are sleeve
less, and the elaborate sleeve OF the
waist, which usually is composed
largely, If not entirely, of lace and EN-
broidery, is thus saved from beint
crushed. There is a remnant OF tn
kimono sleeve suggestion in tn
straight line from the neck of TIL
coat to the armhole, and the armhol'
is finished with a shallow cap, whicl
is quite full, so that it does not crust
the undersleeves and gives a graceful
finish to the under garment.
These jackets do not close in from
They do not nearly come together, s.

The most effective trimming consist
of bands of embroidery or braid pu

within a straight band. Many of tn
quaint old designs in braiding ar
now used for this purpose.

broideries, in colors as well as thoS

CHAPTER Iv.-continued.

Then, Chips presence was an added
danger. If once this brute found that
she was here, there was no limit to
what he would do to secure her and
take revenge. They had struggled her
past Tins Place, but c~oncealment
here was impossible; If ever this half
breed returned, she would be discov-
cred, and then what?
An so by day, while Martin and Lew
were busy with hut-building, or beside
the evening campfire when Ray picked
his banjo and Chip watched him with
admiring glances, these two guardians
had eyes and ears ever alert for this
expected enemy.

About Fans,

Hand-painted fans, when on paper
or satin and handsomely mounted, are
never out of fashion. Among the less
costly fans are those made of mara
bout feathers, which have much of the
charm of the ostrich fans. There are
also large osprey fans, but these range
in price very nearly, and sometimes
beyond, the cost of the ostrich plume,
One curious fan is fashioned from a
large osprey bird, with the head in
the center of the fan and the tail, with
its long, dropping feathers, giving tbs
| width.

to Levi and Martin. All three returned
to the ice-house, looked where the
