give one an ample choice-malines
especially those that are waterproofed,
are very useful and the fashion of
drawing maline over the feather trim,
ming to keep it from blowing about
is sensible and pretty as well as thor
oughly appreciated.
In fashioning the trimming for such
a hat, folds and plaitings or other com
pact arrangements of the fabric, used,
are altogether desirable for they are
not easily disarranged. The hats OF
silk braid and silk hats with velvet
facings are often simply trimmed with
big bows made of taffeta or corded
silk. A single strip of silk is split
along the center, lengthwise, hemmed
at the edges and stiffened by thrust
ing a fine wire in the hens. A single
large NOW and collar made of two
wards of silk, which makes strip
four yards long, is all the trimming
required It's great advantage lies IN
the fact that it may be taken OH,
freshened, pressed and replaced on
the hat.
There are any number of pretty and
inexpensive fancy feathers to choose
from and they are all made from the
plumage of domestic fowls Or birds
that we may use with a clear con
science. Wings always make smart
trimming and the big ornaments,
many of them in Persian colorings
and designs, are destined to be great
help to the amateur milliner in turn
ing out a creditable and useful hat.

FOLLOW ONE COLOR SCHEME
Advice From Writer Who Should Be
an Expert on Art of Dressing
Economically.

1t seems strange that more women
who must practice economy in dress
ing do not follow a distinct color
scheme. l find it best to use the same
color for year; then have change
for the sake of variety. In this way
all of ones accessories correspond,
and much better effect is produced
for the same expenditure of money.
The best" afternoon gown may he
worn with either the summer or win,
ter hat and yet look as If they were
made for each other. Girdles, collars,
and parasols may always be made to
do double or triple duty, and yet al,
ways be exquisite taste. This idea IS
not new, but it is surprising how sci
dom we see it carried out by the WON

we hear the explanation that the blue

GIRLS WHO TALK AND SEW
To Learn to Converse and Keep Her
Fingers Busy at the Same Time
Is Graceful Art.

One of the most graceful arts that
girl can acquire is to learn TO con-
versre and keep her fingers busy at the
same time. There are girls who can
talk we'll and girls who do needlework
well, but they rarely combine the two
accomplishments skilfully.
One of the secrets of the art is TO
avoid doing in public any piece of work
which requires close attention. Re
clever at accomplishing good deal by
always having on hand certain kinds
of work, or work at certain stages,
which admits OF its being done more
or less automatically, and let this oc-
'cupy your fingers, which will busily
do lot for you, while you make your
self agreeable conversatiOnally to one
or more companions.
Remember that courtesy requires
you to give the person to whom YOU
are talking, or who is talking to you,
your first interest and attention and
that your work must be the secondary

CHAPTER XII.
Dorothy is Saved.

Dorothy's cold was not much, but
that something allied her for the week
following their return from London
with Enid. She seemed to have lost
the wonderful happiness that sur
rounded her when they two were
alone; still he did not wish Enid to
go, for he saw that Dorothy was eager
for her cousin presence, and there
Gore he rejolced III anything that gavr
her pleasure.
One morning, having safely dis
posed of Enid and Lord Derriman,
she walked to the village postoffice-
not the one nearest to the cottage
and received dirty looking letter,
addressed to ID. R." Inside were a
few lines:
"Swag came. Sail tomorrow for
Australia, per S. S. Penelope. Child
too. Send money when due to the
same address. Good-by, Dolly"
She waited until she was safely out
of the shop and alone in the country
lane, then her joy. her relief, the re-
dSIlOu dlLHOSl luduS Her reel.
She was saved. What a terrible,
an awful risk she had run. She dared
not even let herself think of the es-
cape she had had.
Enid could not understand the
change that came over her, there was
something through all this she could
not fathom; but Gervais did not seek
Tor the reason, his darling was her
bright, merry self again, that was all
he asked to see.
He sat gazing at her as luncheon
progressed, and Enid saw the tears
Of thankfulness that rose in his eyes,
and unconsciously the dull, dead pain
that came SO often struck her heart
once more.
Dorothy waited until the servants
had gone, then she startled both her
cousin and husband by suddenly say
ing:
"Gervais, [ want you to promise
me something?"

Immediately.
Il hope you will forgive me, Miss
Leslie" he said, as he held out his
hand. Il am going to say good night,

am going to walk to the village to

othy; she had a cold like this when
she was at Barrow-cuir-m moor, and my
mother recommended her this rem
edy, which did her great good. V"
Enid stood at the window and
watched him stride down the garden
path, then she turned with half
sigh and prepared to go to her dainty
bedroom. She took up one of the
novels lying about, and as she passed
the side of the long chair on which
Dorothy had thrown herself, she saw
folded piece of paper on the floor
Without thinking, she stopped for
and unfolded this, and read the hur-
ried scraWl. recognizing her cousins
characters at once, badly written as
it was. AS she held this the door was
suddenly opened and Dorothy ap-
peared.

mans anger?" smiled Enid. rs this

Dorothy shook her head and smiled
back
She picked up another novel and
then Enid handed her the scrap of
paper.
Il think you dropped this, Dor
othy."
Dorothy gave well-acted look of
surprise.

Good night, dear Enid. All! you are

Enid went up stairs with her
cousin, who parted with her Affection
ately at her door; but somehow, when
she was alone, the thought that Dor
othy had prevaricated about that pa
per came into her mind. She felt
that George LaXon was no candidate
for the vacant post of second foot
man; besides, such matters were al
ways settled by the housekeeper, and
were not likely to trouble the young
countess.

CHAPTER IX.
Continued.

"She kissed me once as this girl
kisses him." he said to himself; "and
yet"
His eyes went to Dorothy's face;
GeEvais was talking, and the anima-
tion had died from her eyes and lips,
her miserable thoughts had forced
themselves once more in her mind,
and the change, slight as it was,
startled and panied Sir Roger. He
scarcely knew why or how, but the
feeling of admiration and pleasure
that had kindled in his breast at first
meeting Dorothy slowly faded away,
and all that remained was a vague
premonition of evil and a pang of pity
for the happy, handsome young fell
low who sat at her feet and looked
up to her as a queen.
