But Dan hesitated. looking at the
tit Of humanity that he had laid with
great Sentleness on the divan covered
with pillows. Lefty Lane lay there,
sman as a little child. inanimate as
death. 1t was hard to think the quiet
little form could contain such life
fire and motion. or that this senseless
little creature held London with her
voice and grace. Higgins knelt down
by Lefty Lanes side, quiet, capable
going about the business of resuscitat-
ing her lady much as she laced the
singers bodice and shoes. IF you

Lord, yes," Higgins returned.

Al the door where he paused, Dan
saw the girl lifted up. saw her lean
on Higgins shoulder, and assured
then that she was not lifeless in good
truth, he went out to do as Higgins
had asked him. In q quarter or an
hour the curtain rose and within half
an hour Dan, from his box. saw the
actress dance to the rajah her charm

When the Tcmplars founded their
new monastery between Whitefriars
and Essex house in the Strand, the
latter was, as its name implies, merely
a beach beside the silver Thames, and
all around was open country, the site
of the present law courts being large
field which was used as fitting
ground by the knights. In later days,
when the men OF law had taken over
the settlement of the knights Tenn
plar, the students, who were resident
in the Temple, were dependent on its
kitchen for their daily meals. After
hurried breakfast in the buttery at
eight o'clock they would take their
law books, and wander off along the
Strand, where, in summer time, they
lay under the trees and bushes study
ing law. Some would row across the
river to the Surrey fields, and wander
through the open country.
Half an hour before dinner the pam
yer man, who drew the daily supply
Of bread every morning from West
minister, used to take a large OK horn
and walk along the rivers side, blow
ing the horn as a signal to the stu
dents to return to the temple for
dinner.
The panyer man, who was formerly
charged with the duty of winding the
horn, had also to provide the hall with
mustard, pepper and vinegar, his an
nual wages in 1888 amounting TO $26.
Other useful members Of the staff
were the chief wash pot and the under
wash pot, the chief turn broach, tho
stewards servant and under turn spit;
the last named receiving Sc year.
The horn now in use in the Middle
Temple possesses no antiquarian in

ten years. 1t was brought over from
the Argentine by one of the members
shortly before it was found necessary
to discontinue the use Of the old one.
"Ye horn Of We Middle Temple" had
become so decrepit. through age and
constant use, that the weird and fancy
sounds It emitted were calculated to
bring it into ridicule. 1t had become
a mass OF silver bands, which had
been added from time to time to keep
it together, and close up the cracks in

the air still escaped so freely that the

yyVIIE very large cities, and few

worth while. It is little event in
the day, for those who would other
wise stay at home, which takes wom-
en- out Of doors for a space and brings
them into inspiring touch with each
other. After the matinee or the after
Moons shopping one may see women
at their prettiest in the tea rooms OF
the hotels, or the great shops, or at
those confectioners who are wise
enough to provide an attractive rem

The comfortable part is that one may
be gowned appropriately in the plain

tious visiting costumes, and, in the
matter OF millinery, everything is ad-

dressy hats, ever growing in favor.
Hats plain, more hats semi-dress and

at the five o'clock tea.

He got no note of acknowledgment
from his flowers. Miss Lane was evi-

no mention was made of her indispo-

After a few days he called at the

words we're:

And to please him. as she opened
the door, she pleasantly assured him
that she would do her very best.
Dan went out of the Savoy feeling
that he had left something OF himself
behind him in the motley room OF an
actress with its perfumed atmosphere
of roses and violets. The photograph
which he had laid down on the table
seemed to look out at him again, and
he repeated delightedly. That one
was for me, all right! I'm the boy
from her town and no mistake" And
he thought of her as she had lain,
lifelessly and pale on the dressing
room sofa, under the touch OF hired
hands. and how, no doubt, she had
been lying in her room when he called

STYLES MUCH MORE SIMPLE
Richness of Attire That Has Marked
Past Seasons Has Been Con-
siderably Modified.

This year the girl who is trying to
adjust the balance between q self.
respecting smartness of attire and a
minute income has everything on her
side. Compared with last years rich
ness and eccentricity, which made the
task more than puzzling to the home
dressmaker, there is a notable revival
Of the severely simple.
Hats with hardly any trimming at
ALL braid and buttons in lieu of en-
broideries, simply cut dresses Of one
color only, and the plainest Of coats
and skirts, are few OF the sweeping
changes in store for us. There is
very little doubt that the majority OF
women will welcome The new order OF
things.
Foremost among the revivals Of the
winter is the return to favor Of our old
friend, the blouse, which suffered a
period of almost total eclipse during
the summer, when the all conquering
little frock" swept everything before
it. 1t comes back absolutely in its
earliest and most elementary form.
The shirtwaist was the shape in which
the blouse was first made known to
us, if one excludes the old Garibaldi,
and this year it will reign again in all
its trim simplicity.
With the shirt blouse comes another
old friend that has been long neglect
ed. The smartest and most fashion
able belt for the coming season will
be made OF plain patent leather, fas-
tened by the simplest and most unas'
suming o. buckles.
