OId-Timey Ruffles.

There is fondness for all sorts of
ruffled treatments, particularly those
that are quaint and old-timey looking,
and they are developed in every ma
terial that is on the summer list. A
pretty little dress that looked of the
vintage of the early eighties, was of
fine Irish dimity, flowered stripe, in
closed between stripes of black, all on
a white ground. Yellow was the pre-
dominating color, though not very con-
spicuous among the flower colors that
made up the pattern with it. The
foundation of the skirt was plain
gored, turned in a three-inch hem at
the bottom. Meeting this hem was a
deep flounce of fine embroidery that
was applied at knee depth, with a
ruching for heading, the ruching
of the dimity. Over this fell the tunic
III pannier effect. Meeting at the cen
ter-front, the two side-lengths spread
apart to disclose the whole of the
fiounce and the upper portion of the
skirt It was headed with an inch
wide ruffiing of the dimity.

HINTS FOR HOME MILLINER
Summer Hats May Be Renovated or.
Made Over at Comparatively
Small Cost.

Hats are the most perishable things
in a woman's wardrobe, and so head
gear often needs to be renewed before
the summer Is over. Those who can af-
ford to replace the old with new are
fortunate, but those who can make
their own hats will find 1t a great saw
ing of money to get up something at
home.
One of the most useful fads of the
summer for the home milliner is the
use of a gown material for trimming
A number of the outing hats of linen,
raf1ia, batavia and peanut braid are
very simply trimmed with scarf Of
the same goods used for the little coat
frocks worn with them. The sequence
between the headpiece and costume is
very neat and pretty, and as the scarf
is merely tied around the crown, with a
bow at the back or left side. the proc
ess of trimming is not matter for
worry For young girls who look well
in such shapes big fat crowned

CHAPTER VI.
Your Child.

Enid had not reckoned without her
host when she had thought of maxi
ing her home beneath the humble
roof of Mrs. Lawson, laundress and
shirt ironer.
"Well, to be sure! And you're a
sight for sore eyes, that you are,
miss! Come in, come in!" and Mrs.
Lawson hastily busted chair with
her spotless apron, and turned her
back on her hot iron and the many
flounced petticoat that she had been
working at.
Enid felt lump rise in her throat
and tears spring to her eyes as she
beheld the once familiar face and the
misery that had been on her when
last she had seen it, but she success
fully choked down her emotion and
busted herself with helping her carry
her trunk up to the tiny room, having
come to a speedy and satisfactory ar
rangement with Mrs. Lawson.
"And it's me that is glad to have
you back again, Miss Leslie, that's
what it is" she declared, land I'll
make you as comfortable as I can.
I'm only sorry, miss, that yer can't
have yer old room, but it's let by the
year to a gentleman who attends to
planners, and so, you see"
But l would much rather have the
small one I don't want large rooms,
I am alone now,' Enid returned, with
a faint smile.
Then began a curious life for the
girl, and by no means pleasant one.
August in London Is synonymous
with discomfort, even to those DWELL
ing in palaces; how much more SO.
then, to the poor whose homes are in
dingy, squalid courts and lanes. Mrs.
Lawson's tiny, ill-ventilated house
was in turning off one of the side
streets in Oxford street, and Enid up
in her attic suffered both in body and
mind.
Each morning she was UP by dawn
and hard at work, placing her easel
beneath the skylight to get all the
benefit of the window she could, but
her hopes and ambitions were soon
depressed, for she had spent her first
day in town in trailing wearily
through the hot streets, with a few
paintings held carefully beneath her
arm, to every color shop and artists
emporium she could find round about,
and in one and all she had been re-
ceived the same-the pictures were
viewed in a half-contemptuous, half
plying manner, and she was told
there was no opening for such things,
that no one bought paintings nova
days, and that the market was over
stocked. With disheartened shtver
of fatigue Enid had wended herWay

CHAPTER v.
The BetrotElaI.

After Lord Derriman's brief visit
and the additional proof of Dorothy's
falseness and unkindness that he had
unwittingly given Enid had one de-
sire clear and firm in her mind-to
get as strong as possible and to start
her life of independence.
So, when the afternoon heat was
cooling down, Enid, with her modest
belongings, was carried feetly to the
neighboring station, while Simmonds
sat on the back seat of the phaeton
with the proud satisfaction of know
ing that, as far as lay in his power,
he was showing full respect to the
young girl, although those nearest to
her neglected and deserted her.
Meanwhile, up at Barfow-cuir-
moor, Dorothy Knebwell was living
brief life of perfect happiness. Day
by day she felt her power growing
over Gervais, and, basking in the de-
light that came from her strangely
passionate, almost unreasonable love,
she expanded and softened into the
finest imitation of pure, sweet, un-
selfish woman. Even Lady Derriman,
who combined strong common sense
with her other good attributes, was
deceived; she was won by the girls
beauty, her charm and the undeniab BILE
truth that Dorothy loved Gervais
with a love mast description
Une evening the two young people
had sauntered out beyond the bound
ary of Barrow-cuir-mo The day
had been oppressively hot, but on the
heather covered hills gentle breeze
was blowing that just kissed the girls
cheeks with soft touch and made
the thin, black web dress she wore
cling closer to her lovely form.
They walked on, speaking every
now and then, and at last came to
standstill, and their eyes met. Doro-
thy's breast was filled with a tumult
of strong sensations. Hers was one
of those natures that when love comes
it comes in a wild, passionate, sense
less way, holding the object beloved
as something beyond and above all
else, till reaction follows, as follow it
must. and gradually the hot tide Of
passion dies down, leaving naught be-
hind it. So it was that Dorothy loved
this man. While he? AS he stood
gazing at her vivid beauty it seemed
to him as if he could find no prayer
or thought sufficiently strong to thank
heaven for the happiness in store for
him.
He spoke no words, but simply put
out his hands and drew the slender,

brims and high puffed crowns, with
small wings set in an irregular row
about the base of such crowns. Ro
settes of silk or velvet centered with
bird heads are a novelty, but wom
en- seem to prefer any part of the
bird rather than the head these days,
so not many of these are in evidence.
There is something of an exception
to this in the very unreal looking

vary from the folded wing of sleep

for flight. The fancy of the trim

cept by the lines of the shape she
wishes to decorate and the becoming
ness of the result. Those are the only
two things that count.

be found on the hillside of the land,
OF eternal summer. There were no
huge. Ice and snow fields practically
destitute of bird and beast. On the
contrary, there were streams full of
fish, anxious to be caught, and for
ests inhabited by flocks of birds that
have since acquired regulations for
high prices in city eating houses.
Again, the argonauts of California and
Nevada were almost exclusively hard
headed, painstaking and sober-minded'
men, who were willing to brave hard,
ships and privations providing they ul-l
timately obtained independence.
Frozen Up In Winter.
The Yukon river is absolutely closed
to travel save during the summer
months. In the winter the frost king
asserts his dominion and locks up all
approaches with impenetrable ice, and
the summer Is Of the briefest. 1t en-
dures only for ten or twelve weeks,
from about the middle of June to the
early part Of September. Then an un-
picturesqueness is unfolded to the
voyager. The banks are fringed with
flowers, carpeted with the all-per-
vading moss or tundra. Birds count
less in numbers and of infinite va
riety of plumage sing out welcome
from every tree top. Pitch your tent
where you will In midsummer, a bed
of roses, clump of poppies and
bunch of blue bells will adorn your
camping. But high above this para
disc of almost tropical exuberance
giant glaciers sleep in the summit of
the mountain wall, which rises up
from a bed of roses. BY September
everything Is changed. The bed of
roses has disappeared before the icy
breath of the winter king, which sends
the thermometer down to 80 degrees
below freezing point: The birds fly
to the southland, the white man to
his cabin, the Indian to his hut and
the bear to his sleeping chamber In
the mountains. Every stream be-
comes sheet of ice, mountain and
valley alike are covered with snow.

for the following year it was even

CHAPTER ".
Continued.

The next day came the news that
Dorothy would leave for Barrow-cuir-
moor - Lord Derriman's estate in
Seotland-with Lady Derriman, and
a week went slowly by, during which
time Enid lay in bed, too weak to
speak or even to look about her-the
tension on her nerves had been Alto
gether too much for her. But one
morning she took turn for the bet
ter, and then every hour she seemed
to grow stronger, although it is to be
doubted whether she might not have
passed away altogether from sheer
tnanition if she had not been so un-
tiringly, SO marvelously nursed.
Simmonds had not failed to obey
Dorothy's order to write to her each
week. and he put the subject of
Ends health to her briefly yet
strongly, but Miss Krebwell did not
deign to answer. For all she cared
her cousin might have died.
Ends thoughts were troubled
ones as she sat beneath the shade of
the trees.
She had heard from Simmonds of
her uncle's bequest, and when she
thought of her future her heart was
full of gratitude to the dead man.
How I wronged him." she mused
one evening, one of the late July days,
as she moved slowly up and down in
the cool with a white shawl wrapped
around her. While called him un-
kind he thought of me, poor Uncle
Robert! With this money can nev-
er starve When I am a little stron-
ger I will go away and make money
somehow. can paint or teach, or"
The thoughts ended in futter,
for, turning quickly, Enid saw a
young man beside her, and with a
sudden start recognized Lord Derri-
man.

prise. why, never dreamed to see
you here, then in tone of 'conster-
nation, he added, "but you are ILL"

sank gratefully into a chair near at
hand. She was not strong enough for
surprises.

Lord Derriman stood and gazed at
her. Her great blue eyes filed him
with admiration and pity, too. What
sweet, childlike, pure face hers was.
Your cousin has known nothing
of this" he declared after pause,
cor she would have been terribly dis
tressed. She thinks you are staying
away, and wonders why you have not
written. When tell her
TELL her nothing" Enid said,
speaking firmly and almost contemp-
tuously, 81 would rather not distress
her!"
: He noticed nothing in her words
but sweet unselfshness.
Goodbye, Miss Leslie; 1 trust you
will soon be yourself again, and I am
not to tell Miss Dorothy? Well, per-
haps it is best not, she has had so
much suffering lately; we must spare
her all we can
A color mounted to his face as he
spoke, and Enid guessed his secret.
When he grasped her hand a strange
sensation crept into her heart-a mix
ture of pain, of envy, of unspeakable
desolation, and as he strobe away
two great tears rolled down her
cheeks and fell with splash on her
hands.

'My love! my darling!" he mur-
INJURED, as after one moment he bent
his head and their lips met.
Dorothy was no shy, coy maiden;
she was a woman, with all the attri-
butes of a woman about her. His
heart, his senses were blinded by the
joy her love brought him.
''Why have you not spoken to me
before?" she asked, half reproach-
fully, as they rose at last to go home
ward, and she slipped her hand
through his arm.
'Have you hungered for my words,
dearest?" he asked, interpreting her
speech as meaning only more glad
ness for him. "Ah. if you only knew
how often r have been tempted, how
often my heart has failed met"
did you think I should be unkind
to you, Gervais?"
81 don't know what thought. You
are so beautiful, so wonderfully love-
ly, my sweet, I feared you might have
nothing to say to me-"
Foolish boy!" Dorothy laughed
softly, and she lifted her lips once
more to his.
"And now it is really true, and I
hold you in my arms, my life, my
wife-yes, my wife-I can scarcely
believe it,
Dorothy clung to aim suddenly.
Eyes, yes; your wife!" she repeat
ed, hurriedly. "Gervais, make me
your wife soon; don't let us wait
long; 1 am frightened"
Frightened at what, my darling?"
and he gently caressed the golden
curls on her forehead; nothing
earthly shall harm you while I am
near you. -
'I am frightened lest you should
be taken from me-" the girl said, and
for one moment her cheeks blanched,
and even her lips turned pale. "Oh,
think of that! Think how awful it
would be, Gervais; So"
He folded his arms closer around
her.
'You cannot long for our marriage,
Dorothy, as do; it has been golden
dream so 1ong,.I yearn for the reali
zation."
Dorothy laid her head On his shoul-
der and carried his hand to her lips.
I am ready when you ask me, Ger
vais," she murmured, and there was
an eager, anxious look in her eyes
which he did not see. Don't think
me terribly forward" she added, with
a soft laugh, ''if I say l cannot bear
the thought of waiting, dear"
Gervais' heart thrilled fast; he saw
in this only a reproduction of his
own great love, and it brought full
and complete qualification.
eve will speak to our mother,
dearest" he said, tenderly.
Eyes, dear mother will tell us our
best course" Dorothy agreed softly,
but her face was turned from him,
and he did not see the frown that his
words had conjured UP. Dorothy was
not only wearied with Lady Derri-
man, she was jealous of her, too.
She could not understand the love
that Gervais had for his mother, nor
the respect and admiration he poured
upon her. But the time had not quite
arrived when Dorothy could arrange
things as she liked, and so she posed
as a loving child, anxious for Lady
Derriman to settle matters as she
liked, the while the girls selfish, all
dominant nature fretted and fumed
beyond expression.

Bathing Caps and Slippers.

1t is said that the prettiest bathing
caps seen on the beaches this season
are those fashioned from gayly printed
English chintz in a twisted turban de-

effect is extremely good. Any girl who
knows how to sew could cover primary
