ing is of heavier lace, while the inser-
ton and the all-over are of thinner,
but various combinations will suggest
themselves at once. Irish crochet or
Cluny with Valenciennes is much
liked; embroidery is pretty combined
with lace, or the space between the
narrower landings could be embroid-
cred in some simple design. The
sleeves are of the very newest sort,
slightly full at the shoulders and close
fitting at the wrists. The neck can be
finished with the stock as illustrated,
or collarless, as liked.
The blouse Is made with front and
backs, the backs being tucked for full
length, the front to yoke depth only.
There is a pointed chemisette which is
Joined to the yoke. and the trimming
is arranged at its outer edge. The
sleeves are cut in one piece each,
tucked to form the deep cuffs.

A few days ago the Grand Trunk

engine got overworked. or something,

The timely arrival of freight train
helped. The cars were shunted to a
siding and the freight engine brought

other large engine was secured.
Now comes the peculiar part OF the
troubles of that train. When about
twenty miles out of Cornwall it ran
into a sea OF peculiar flies. There
were millions OF them-perhaps bill
ions, but the train was going so fast
it was impossible to count them. The
cars became quite dark as the train
ploughed through the mass of insects,
and then the train came to another
sudden stop. The engine was full OF
flies. The little things were ground
into mass in the driving rod. They
were in everything on the engine.
The train had been ploughing
through the flies at mile min.
ute for several miles. The track was
covered with crushed insects and the
engine wheels baked at going round
on it. After a little persuasion and
lot Of cleaning up the train Went
upon its way again s&

rounded a corner, and window ap

been striving Had he strength left
now to grasp his only hope OF
safety?
There were three windows, one
outside the other, with screen of
coarse wire before them to keep the
panes from being broken. Pushing
his fingers through the screen. Char
ley pulled himself TO his feet. Be-
yond the iced panes he caught a dim
glimpse of the street. An electric
car flashed by. On the opposite cor
ner stood a policeman, swinging his
night-stick, his badge glittering. The
clerk must tear off the screen, smash
the window, and attract the officers
attention. He shook the wire with
all his might. 1t seemed immovable.
He shook it again with a sudden &C
cess of strength: but still it resist
ed. Hooking his fingers deeper
through the coarse meshes, he sagged
back with his whole weight, until the
screen loosened. With one final mad
wrench, he tore it clear, tumbling
over backward.
Corey was at the fag-end Of his
powers of body and mind. He clawed
himself upright by grasping the sill.
Only three thicknesses of glass sep
arated him from the summer night.
It was all he could do to restrain
himself from battering blindly az the
panes with his unprotected hands:
but glimmer of prudence restrained

Pulling himself together and stag

squirt of energy, the last in his long
battle with silence and loneliness and
gloom and deathly cold. he hurled the
dregs of his strength into one crash
ing, spintering blow.
Sash and panes gave way in a
cinkling rain of glass. In gushed the
hot air, as if a furnace door had
been suddenly flung open. Corey saw
the policeman start and look up, and
he knew his fight was won. He drop
ped limply back. unconscious.
He came to in the engine-room, with
the officer and the night engineer
bending over him. For while he lay
drowsily, basking in the welcome
heat. Then he remembered some
thing.

Quarter past nine" replied the
policeman. Corey felt relieved. They
were working overtime that night at

would still be there Again he whis-
pered, and the officer stopped to
catch his words:

Bridal Gowns.

The fourteenth century lines now
coming in are at their best in the bri-
dial gown, whether it be severely
straight and simple, of the paneled
sort, or that half yelled in stoles of
lace or tulle, says Harper's Bazaar.
They are even adapted for and are
charming in sheer mulls, which so
perfectly dress the very young bride.
OF all the materials lately brought
forward for the classic bridal gown
the ivory-toned silk cashmere, richly
embroidered and molding the figure
perfectly under the floating Rowena
veil, is perhaps the most suggestive
of the early period from which such
gowns are modelled.

it Is not necessary, for the yoke could
be trimmed with embroidery or lace,
OF could be left plain If something
simpler is wanted. In the back view
the same garment is shown with the
neck cut high and finished with stand
ing collar and with long plain sleeves,
and treated in such way it becomes an
entirely different garment.
The negligee is made with fronts
and back, which are gathered and
Joined to the yoke. The edges of the
short sleeves can be held together by
ribbon ties or tackled one to the other
as liked. The long sleeves are plain
and cut in one piece each.
