Here is a model that is made with
sleeves extended to the neck edge and
which is simple yet new II smart in
effect. 1t includes patch pockets that
mean comfort, it is easily adjusted, and
it really covers the gown. This one is
made of percale trimmed with band

for aprons are appropriate for this one,
bingham and chambray, linen n the
like, with trimming either of contrast
ing material or white or of embroidered
banding. Plain blue chambray with
bands of white would be exceedingly
pretty. Checked bingham is much used
for such garments and can be trimmed
with material cut or the bias OF with
white or with banding. The trimming
that is applied over the centre front
can be used or not, as liked. There is a
belt adjusted over the backs hat holds
them in place and the closing is made
with buttons n buttonhoies.

Advice Requested.
Bear MargerY Doom:

DedT VI 6CIO OoVH-
Kindly publish in our "Advic
Column the following: How mud can
be taken out of a white straw hat.
a blue serge coat without injuring it?
A young man has known a young lady
about four months Who should begin
a conversation first. the lady or gentle
man, and what shall the girl say with
out gossiping or getting into a ON
versation where they will contradict
each other? Thanking you in advance,
l remain, A STAR READER.
Brush the spots of mud with a
clothes brush or whisk-broom and then
clean the straw with oxalic acid, a
teaspoonful of the acid in a cup of
water, applied with a nail-brush. To
remove grease from the blue serge place
a piece of blotting-paper or brown
straw-paper over the spot and put a
hot iron on the paper. The heat
from the iron will draw out the grease.
1t really does not make any
difference who begins the conversation.
Do not talk about your neighbors or
friends, and you will not be gossiping.
If you do not breach subjects on
which you disagree you will not be apt
to contradict each other. You can talk
about the weather, the fashion, new
books, new plays, things that are hap
pening in the world, and a variety Of
subjects.

THE WEARING OF RINGS.

The wise woman will not cover her
hands with several kinds of rings. or,
rather with rings set with tones Of
different colors. When rings are set
with stones of the same kind a larger
number can be worn without their APP
pearing conspicuous, and they will be
found more becoming to the average
hand than a varied assortment.
One of the most attractive stones, as
well as the most expensive, is the sap
phire. Emeralds are equally lovely,
and when set with diamonds in a gold
mounting and worn alone are most be-
coming to the hands. Not so costly
but equally becoming are or two
good rings of clear blue lapis 1azuli,
made up with small chip diamonds.
But let an amethyst or a coral appear
with them and the effect is spoiled
completely. Nothing could be more
beautiful than several clear pigeon
blood rubies worn on perfectly kept
soft white hands, and uncut sapphires
set in platinum, with small diamonds,
are being much worn just at present
by women of taste and refinement. Not
every woman is lucky enough to have
sets of rings, but if she possesses a
number she can manage to wear only
those that are similar, ever If she
chooses a single diamond or sapphire
with her plain, heavy wedding ring.

GRIMPS OR GRUMPS.

It is better, to be a Grimp than a
Grump.
1t is also more pleasant by far.
So, If you will listen, I'll tell you how
you can
Discover which species you are.
If you wake in the morning and do not
get up
Until aftei the breakfast bell rings;
If you can't find your book or your
gloves or your bag,
And someone has hidden your things;
If everyone's sober. and nobody smiles;
II the sun has gone under a cloud;
IL nobody pays much attention to you,
Although you may speak very loud;
In fact, if you find everyone in the
dumps.
You may be very sure you belong to
the Grumps.
But if you get up with a smile on your
face,
And whistle a tune as you dress;
Your hat or your glove may not be in
their place,
You're good humored. nevertheless;
If YOU look for the sunshine in others
you meet.
And give it, unmeasured, TO all;
If you think that the world is as right
as can be,
And that no one is petty and small;
If you conquer the Grouches and sim
liar imps,
You may be pretty sure you belong to
the Grimps.
There isn't much difference. really, you
see,
In deciding the sort of a person to be.
The only distinction you'll find, if YOU
try,
Consists in the use of the L or the l..
And whether this letter is I or is L
Depends most of all on your own point
of view.

1t seemed an interminable time before
he could rise and stand on his feet and
reach the candle. Slowly he felt his
way along the wall until he came to a
low, heavy door, barred from the out
side, and just beyond this door ne
found d narrow aperture cut through
the ~decaying logs. 1t was a. yard in
length and barely wide enough for
him to thrust through an arm.
Three more of these narrow Sits in
his prison walls he found before he
came back again to the door. They
reminded him of the hole through
which he had looked out on the plague
stricken cabin at the Maison de Mort
Rouge, and he guessed that through
them came what little fresh air found
it's way into the dungeon.
Near the table on which he replaced
the candle was a stool, and he sat
down. Carefully he went through his
pockets. His belt and revolver were
gone. He had been stripped of letters
and papers. Not so much as a match
had been left him by his captors.

The DANGER Trail

He stopped in his search and lis
ticking OF his watch. He felt in his
watch pocket 1t was empty. Again
he listened. This time he was sure
that the sound came from his feet and
he lowered tine candle until the light
of it glistened on something yellow an
arms distance away. 1t was his watch,
and close beside it lay his leather wal
let. What money he had carried in
the pocketbook was untouched, but his
personal cards and half a dozen papers
that it had contained were gone.
He looked at the time. The hour
hand pointed TO 4. Was it possible that
he had been unconscious for more
than six hours? He had left Jean on
the mountain top soon after nightfall
it was not later than 9 o'clock when
he had seen Meleese. Seven hours!
Again he lifted his hands to his head.
His hair was stiff and matted with
blood. 1t had CONCEALED thickly on his
cheek and neck and had soaked the
top of his coat. He had bled a great
deal, so much that he wondered he
was alive, and yet during those hours
his captors had given him no assist
ance, had not even bound a cloth about
his head.
Did they believe that the shot had
killed him that he was already dead
when they flung him into the dungeon?
Or was this only m other instance of
the barbario brutishness of those who
so insistently sought his life? The
fighting blood rose in him with return
ing strength. If they had left him a
weapon, even the small knife they
had taken from his pocket, he would
make an effort to settle a last score
or two. But now he was helpless.
There was. however, a ray of hope
in the possibility that they believed
him dead. If they who had flung him
into a dungeon believed this, then he
was safe for several hours. No one
would come for his cody until broad
day. and possibly not until the follow
ing night, When a grave could be dug
and he could be carried out with some
secrecy. In that time, if he could
escape from his prison, he would be
well on his way to the Wekusko. He
had no doubt that Jean was still a
prisoner on the mountain top The
dogs and sledge were there and both
rifles We're where he had concealed
them. 1t would be a hard race-a run
ming fight perhaps-but he would win,
to him, away down at the little hotel
on the Saskatchewan.
He rose to his feet. his blood growing !
warm, his eyes shining in the CANDLE
light. The thought of the girl as she had

From under the table he drew forth
a second stool and sat down opposite
Rowland. The two men stared at
each other over the sputtering rem
nant of the candle. Before the engi-
neer had recovered from his astonish-
ment at the sudden appearance of
the man whom he believed to be
safely imprisoned in the old cabin,
Croisset's shifting eyes fell on the mass
Of torn wood under the aperture.

he whispered softly. "She sends you
her love. M'seur. and tells you not to

only knew--if she only knew what is
about to happens No one has told her.
She is a prisoner in her room, Inc after
that-after that out on the plain-when
she came to you and fought like one
gone made to save you-they will not
give her freedom till all is over.
What time is it. M'seur?"
A clammy chill passed over Rowland
as he read the time.

come to him out in the night put back
into him all of his old fighting strength,
all of his uncomfortable hope and con-
fidence. She had followed him when
the dog yelped at his heels, as the first
shots had been fired; she had knelt be-
side him in the snow as he lay bleed
ing at the feet OF his enemies. He
had heard her voice calling to him,
had felt the thrilling touch of her
arms. the terror and love of her lips
as she thought him dying. She had
given herself to him; and h would
come to him-his lady of the nows-
if he could escape.
He went to the door and showed
against it with his shoulder. 1t was
immovable. Again he thrust his hand
and arm through the first of the mar
row ventilating apertures. The wood
with which his fingers came in con-
tract was rotting from moisture and
age and he found that he could tear out
handfuls of it. He fell to work, dig
ging with the fierce eagerness of an
animal. At the rate the soft pulpy
wood gave way and he could win his
freedom long before the earliest risers
AT the post were awake.
A sound stopped him, a hollow cough
from out of the blackness beyond the
dungeon wall. 1t was followed an in
slant later by a CLEAN of light and
Rowland darted quickly back to the
table. He heard the slipping of a bolt
outside the door and it flashed on him
that he should have thrown him
self back into his old position on the
floor. 1t vas too late for this action
now. The door swung open and a
shaft of light shot into the chamber.
Fol a space Rowland was blinded by
it and it was not until the bearer of
the lamp had advanced halfway to the
table hat he recognized his visitor as
Jean Croisset. The F%renchman's face
wild and haggard. His eyes
CLEANED red n %bloodshot as he

He reached up to hang the big oil

or pain had wrought deep lines in his

Even his shoulders were hunched
with an air of weakness and
