AMONG THE COLORS
OF THE SEASON,

Apricot in every tone, ranging from
pale mustard to a ripe pink yellow,
the color of fruit mellowed in the sun,

Green In the lighter shades is truly a
spring color, restful and cool.
The lighter tones of gray, dove, pearl.
cloud and gull and the browns from
champagne to that rich shade that has
a gold sheen to 1t are in high favor.
Navy blue is a staple color, and is
always In good style. +
Among the first favorites is wisteria,
the pale tone like the bloom on the
ripe grape, and catawba and the many
tones of violet from the palest lavender
to deep heliotrope.
For elaborate frocks for wear at for.
NAL affairs the orchid tones are espe-
cially popular.
Red, too, is found in a great variety
of shades,
Pink is also good in I'll the tones
ranging from old rose to the paste

CHAPTER TX.
Mrs. Sandford Winks.

4 WEEK in Sorrento, during which
"a Merrihew saw all the beautiful
villas, took tea with the Rus
sian princess, made q martyr of him

sour astringent wines of the country,
and bought inlaid-wood paper-cutters
and silk socks and neckties and hat
bands, enough in truth, to last him for
several generations; another week. in

geigei. he exchanged compliments with

with the exiles (for' Capri has as many

bought a marine daub; n then back
to Naples and the friendly smells. His
constant enthusiasm and refreshing
observations we're a tonic to Hillard.
At the hotel in Naples they found a
batch of mail. There was a letter
which held particular interest to Merri-
hew. 1t was from the consul at Rome,
a reply to Hillard's inquiries regarding
the American Comic Opera Company.
"We'n now find out where your
charming Kitty is" Hillard said, break
ing the seal.
But they didn't. On the contrary, the
writer hadn't the slightest idea where
the ~play-actors were or had gone. They
had opened a two weeks engagement
at the Teatro Quirino. There had been
a good house on the opening night; the
remainder of the week did not show
the sale of a hundred tickets. 1t was
a fallacy that travelling Americans had
any desire to witness American pro-
auctions in Italy. So, then, the man
ayers of the theater had abruptly cam
celed the engagement. The American
manager had shown neither foresight
nor common sense. He had, in the first
place, come with his WI scenery and
costumes, upon which he had to pay
large duties, and would have to pay
further duties each time he entered a
large city. His hacker Withdrew his

till a policeman politely TOLD them that
this was not a private t~horoughfare,
and that they were blocking the way.
So they parted, the two young men
having promised Ito dine with the
Sanford party that evening.

uberant.

Sanford knew how to order a dinner;
and so by the time that Merrihew had
emptied his second glass of Burgundy

the haze of golden confidence. He
would find Kitty. and when he found
her he would find her heart as well.
