Coats have always been a perplexina

worn without breaking the rules of fash

many as short as the hip line. For the

The accompanying undermuslins are
easily chosen this spring-since the lace
trimmed combination suits are without
question the thing. The one-piece, and
princess styles require little gathers at
the waist line and a new pattern entire
ly emitting fullness at the waist is very
good. For the lighter gowns. lace trim
ming is preferable, although embroidery,
which is more substantial, may be used.

The girl graduate claims the next SIX
weeks for her own-her gowns In many
cases have rivalled the rousseau of the
June bride. Why shouldn't they? The les
tive affairs of her graduation-the cream
of her schooldays, the first real event Oh
her life-and the dainty white commence
ment dress, the ~fanciful class gown of
brighter hue and fragile lace. the more
substantial baccalaureate costume and the
"decapite' reception gown have all been
a part of the dream.
This spring, more than ever before, she
has wide freedom of choice-Dame Fash
ion has set no limits within the hearts
desire of the most fastidious girl. The
various styles of the last u centuries have
been recalled with a certain conventional
1ty that mingles the past with the pres

terials, too, are varied, lingerie dresses
being universal favorites, although foul
ards, pongees and soft silks are worn.
Most Charming Effects.
First of all the commencement gown
is to be decided-possibly because it bears
the significance of the event. 1t will, of
course, be white. White, in any mater
ial from French and Persian lawns to
the soft silk crepons and muslins, Is daln-

white gown is practical. 1t will laundry

A simple style by no means implies lack
of picturesque or graceful beauty. The

princess and semi-princess dresses with
effect are especially charming in
dainty white. An embroidered panel edged
with a dainty Nalenciennes is a beautiful
idea. The cuff of the sleeve which is
made not too Wight, may be also edged
with Valenciennes. The ''decapite" or

ferred this spring, especially for the COM

The Man With the Longest Name.

Spelled out in it's entirety the young

Farmer Had Confidence in Government

FarHer RAD commence IN governments
From the Des Moines Capital.
Winnepeg-An old American farmer
from Des Moines walked into the I'M
migration offices and remarked that he
wanted to buy land in this country, but
wanted to look around before doing so.
He confessed that he knew nothing OF
banks or people, but had confidence in
the integrity of the government. He
therefore asked the officials to take care
Of his old wallet until he had picked
his farm. He handed it over to the
commissioner. who on opening it found
it contained $25. 900 in green backs. It
was banked for the old man in the
name Of the government. This is a
good sample of the class of I'M
migrants coming In fror7 the south this
spring. One day there We're 80 home-
seekers from the states, who reported
at the immigration once, and the
smallest sum that any of them had in
cash was $4,000. The wealth tina is
being brought in this spring is aston
fishing.

Captain Marriott, and they are going
up to look at the motor! The
motor has stopped. The driver is
getting down. They are examining
some part OF the machine. Obvious
ly, Daisy, Michael has bought the
motor he spoke about, and they
are seeing If it will do. 1t means that
everything is now in good train. We
shall meet them at Bad Firstenberg."
She watched with eager scrutiny, and
Daisy watched her also.
Suddenly the girl saw that the
wrists which held up the glass began
to tremble. The Duchess wore a
bracelet of gold, studded with pearls
and t~urquoises, upon her wrist. 1t
moved in a strange and agitated way.
What is it?" Daisy said, suddenly.
The Duchess answered her in a
curious, muffled, and almost hypnotic
voice. There is something very Gu
rious happening down there" she said.
Another motor-car has driven up to
the hotel. Mr.. Grant is examining
the first, and Captain Marriott is
standing by him. Out of the hotel
door a tan man has come, who is
holding a little girl of three or four
years by the hand"
Then the Duchess stopped. She
kept the glasses up to her eyes and
said nothing for several seconds.
Then she threw the glasses down up
on the stone floor, and a strangled
scream rang out through the embra-
sures into the air.
Daisy" she said, half shouting,
half crying, "the man has put the lit
tie child into the car. 1t has swung
round and driven off at once. The
little child stretched out a hand to-
wards Michael Grant. Michael Grant
turned round, caught Captain Mar
riott by the arm, and they both leapt
into their own car. The second car
has already gone round the facade
of the cathedral. The other has made
a turn and is following 1t. Daisy,
something has happened! Something
terrible has happened! Who was the
child that seemed to know Michael?"

XVI.
The Race Begun!

The waiter came up to Captain
Marriott's room.
Gentlemen" he said, speaking that
excellent English that all German
walters in Cologne achieve, 1.-THE
chauffeur has arrived and is waiting
below"
Come on, BASIL" Grant said.
Here is the car which was to arrive
in a few minutes. Come down and
give me your opinion of it,"
They ven down together, and out
side the door of the hotel a great red
Dietrich was waiting, in charge of a
little man with a blond moustache
and circular s~pectacles, in a coat of
soiled black leather.
Now, here we are!" Grant said.
"Come on. Marriott, and examine our
car You see, it has four cylinders,
and we have a spare Stepney wheel
as well as tires upon the roof; nor do
| think we could possibly have a bet
ter machine for our purpose than
this. Overhaul her in any way you
like; and then we'll get our bags
packed and be off at once. The
Duchess and Miss Hobson will catch
the night train. But, of course, it is
understood that we are going indie
pendent of them"
The chauffeur got down from his
seat and came up to Grant, saying
something to him in cultural German.
Grant started. "Oh, really" he
said. lat,S haya n looL I, apd tooothor
the two vent round the car and
peered under the chassis.
Marriott stood idly by the side of
the car. He knew a good deal about
automobiles. He was interested, of
course, in this suddenly-purchased
machine. which was to take him and
Grant into the Principally. But he
was thinking Of Daisy.
AS he was standing there, lighting
a cigarette, another automobile drove
up to the front door of the hotel. The
engines of the new car, which was
very similar to their own, were
thrown out Of gear, but not stopped.
The throbbing of the continuous ex-
plosions went on, filling the air with
sound.
by Jove!" Basil said TO himself.
1T is like waking up among the side
drums Of a tattoo!"
He stood there putting at his Gig
aret, and waiting for Grant, who. with
the chauffeur, was still busily engaged
in peering at the machinery below the
tonneau.
AS he stood thus, a tall man with a
military walk and figure, and a blond
m%oustache waxed at the ends, came
out of the hotel. He was dressed in
a suit of light tweeds, and he held by
the hand a little child. clothed in a
~nendescr!pt tunic. The child seemed
to walk somewhat unwillingly with
the big man, and Il would have. been
difficult for anyone to say whether
