g tuntc. longer in the back than in front,
ind all its edges were embroidered tone on

fbeless had an air of novelty in its ex-

OF the embroidery. Equally lovely was a
robe of rose colored velvet falling In
caansing glints of color, belted with gray
satin and hemmed with grayish opossum

ecru linen finished the neck, and there
were deep cuffs TO match on the small,

The very sensible English custom OF nell
tioning the date OF departure in writing in
vitations for visits has become almost uni
versal here, the exception being in the
homesteads south Of the Mason and Dixon
line. There friend or relation is asked
to come and stay as long as convenient,
and the stay sometimes stretches over
entire summer. There are always relations
who are disposed TO overlook any little dis
comfort that such visit brings, as well as
the positive Inconvenience they may be
causing their hosts. and such is the
courtesy Of the people of this part OF the
country that the visit only ends ct the
visitors Will Instances could even be given
in which the visits OF poor relations or
friends have lasted the rest of their lives,
the greatest courtesy and consideration be-
ing shown TO them by host and hostess.

that was wont to reach from mantel TO

formed an extra framing for family por-
trait to hang in Nor are the stalrways,
| halls, or even the doors made in replica
OF the beautiful examples of the past In
stead they are skinIped SO that there may
be an extra bit of closet room or more
ornate trimmings outside. Porch columns
are made light, where heavy ones are
needed, and the general tendency seems
to be TO add to the height instead of
spreading out in lower and more ram
bling ways. The most pleasing of the old
Colonial manors were added to in wings
that were charming in their commodious
effect The servants quarters were always
built separately, so that master and man
did not dwell under the same roof. and
back stairs existed only because the size
OF the house required more than one way
to reach the different parts. The comfort
OF the modern house may atone to the
owner for any deficiency of interior beauty.
but it is TO be hoped that some day the
architect and the owner may agree on a
perfect reproduction.

A MOMENT LATER HE had CARRIED HEE
SAFELY THROUGH FLAMES.

Coquenil believed that they were
words Of wisdom, and without mo-
ment's hesitation he acted on that be-
lief. The wall underneath the shelf
was half covered with piled up logs,
and these must be removed in spite OF
the flames.
It was the work of a mailman or Of
one inspired. Three times Coquenil
fell to the floor, gasping for breath.
The skin on his arms and neck was
hanging away in shreds.
At last the space was cleared, and
Paul Coquenil stumbled forward and
seized the left hand bracket and
pressed 1t with all his might.
Instantly door underneath, cum
ningly hidden in the wall, yawned
open on a square black passage.
With bound he was back at the
shelter and had Alice in his arms,
smiling again, as she slept-as she
dreamed. And moment later he had
carried her safely through flames that
actually singed her hair and laid her
tenderly In the cool passage. And be-
side her he laid the baron's diary!
Then he went back to close the door.
But first he reached up inside that
fiery furnace and, CROPPING over the hot
stone shelf, brought down a scorched
and battered and dust covered little
figure that had lain there for many
years.
1t was the lost dolly!
