make a series of sketches of the
Squires yacht, on which the honey
moon was to be spent, that he might
send them to his father in England.
The vessel lay at anchor off Newport
"a sailing craft, with auxiliary
steam, and Jocelyn had taken up his
residence in that fashionable resort
in order to be near his betrothed, for
1t had been decided that they should
be- married there. Torelli was fur
nished with quarters in the cabin of
the yacht, which had already been
manned and equipped for the voyage
to the Bermudas. Jocelyn had en-
gagged the captain, an old English sea
farer of his acquaintance, to whom
he disclosed a portion of his design.
A chaplain, also, was secured-a col
lege chum Of Jocelyn's, whom he had
discovered officiating in a little Brook
Ign church during one Of his rambles.
But his existence was not disclosed
to any member of his fancee's family.
The day before the wedding arrived
and strange calm had descended
over all. such as that atmospheric
quietude which Is to be observed i'm
mediately before q thunderstorm.
Everything was ready. The church
at Newport was being decorated with
flowers; the members of the Venetian
band had learned their pieces; the
clergyman, the Rev. Gracious Hayes.

Newport's sciOns, was smiling be-

nerves gave way, at least IL would
not be until after the ceremony. And

She fed to her room and, taking
the photograph of the young artist
from the locked drawer in which she
kept it, she kissed It passionately
and tore it into dozen pieces. Then.
having bathed her eyes and composed
herself, she joined her parents in the
drawing doom.
Meanwhile Lord Jocelyn, aboard
the vessel, was giving his final in
structions TO the captain. These end

THE question now is, how is the
said party of the third part going to
make enough money to supply the
party of the second part with gowns,
not to speak of bread and butter"
he said fiercely to the photograph.
He went to bed and dreamed over his
problem.
The result Of his cogitations was
round of visits that he paid to as
many Of the Squires' friends as he
thought would serve his purpose.
Evelyn" he said a day or two
later, Il have some good news for
you. It's about that painter fellow.
I've been talking to old Bross. the
beer magnate, and he's going to pay
him a couple of thousand to paint
his wife and daughters"
Evelyn paled; then her eyes
flashed angrily.
why do you call that good news,
Richard?" she demanded icily. What
possible interest do you suppose that
1t can have for me?"
''Why-er-I thought you might be
interested to know" he answered
lamely. 1T was just a stray thought
of mine" he stammered.
And. seeing that she was disposed
to accept his explanation, he con
tinued
"Evie, wouldn't It be nice to get
him to finish my Portrait here, In
this drawing room? It would save
your mother from making that jour
ney to Washington Square that she
hates so much. and I'm sure she'd
never let you accompany me there
without her chapeTonage."
He preached the plan to Mr.. and
Mrs. Squires that evening. Mrs.
Squires was at first disposed to offer
objections.
1T isn't DONE" she declared EN-.
phatically "Of course. some paint.

From the fashion centers comes the
hint of a tendency TO greater width
In skirts. Not that the skirts will
be permitted 10 look wider-oh, MOI
we are too welded to the slenderness
we have attained by long egort. But
we are tired OF our inability TO step
across cutters and into street cars
and motors, and so the arbiters Of
woman's looks have relaxed the letters
a. little. We will not make needless
betrayal OF our more ample skirts,
but accomplish the fact nevertheless
by some necessary pleats modestly
hidden in the side seams. Even II
we do not display our freedom unduly,
we enjoy it. and the more, perhaps,
because we know In our secret souls
that these fuller skirts are far and
away more graceful and becoming
than the awfully tight plain ones of
last year In the newest skirts the
pleats are on both sides instead of one
as they were in the first tentative ef-
forts. They will be welcomed by all
women for they are becoming to stout

the sleeves should be long, say the

are preferred, being more easily made

blouse. They may have a little full
ness at the top, but the strong liking
for kimono effects still has a re-
straining influence upon the tops OF
our sleeves. The kimono blouse, with

COURT OF ST. JAMES.
What Presentation to English RoyaI-
ty Means Socially.


There Is no need for jealousy and ex-
element about presentations at court
ANY respectable American girl can be
presented at the court Of st. James IL
she have sufficient influence with some
lady who is even ussSdly persona grata
at court And when a girl or a matron
has been presented then the matter
ninety-nine cases out of hundred
comes TO an abrupt end.
The social cachet amounts to no
more than this--that the lord chamber
lain has made an inquiry into your an.
tecedents and found nothing in their
history to cause comment. In the case
OF Americans the inquiry cannot be
anything but perfunctory.
Some people imagine that presenta-
ton at court is followed Immediately
by an invitation to the next state din
ner or the next state concert or the
next state tea and mullins Nothing Of
the kind. You must attain OF inherit
great social importance or be repre-
sentative in some way before the king
and queen ask you to dine with them.
Presentation is pretty laborious
and expensive ceremony. signifying to
any one who is not in the inner social
ring in London nothing. - New York

limning with eloquent pencil the
charms Of dress as displayed by It's
graceful wearer, so that the scribe,
az well, suffers from a backward sea-
son. The majority OF women seen
on the streets even IN these June days
are still wearing their cloth coat suits.
Some are clad in linen suits. and
very few seem 70 be forcing matters a
| little by anticipating the arrival Of
temperature appropriate 70 the month.
But the dressy summer gown Is still
conspicuous by its absence. Satin and
taffeta coat suits or serge in various
manifestations We see in plenty. What
linen or other wash fabrics there are
are either strictly tailored or trying
to effect a compromise between the
two extremes by adhering to simple
tailored lines while coquetting a bit
with lace fronts and frills and all
sorts OF pretty feminine fripperies. To
some minds dress OF this character
possesses more charm than the beruf-
fed and much hetrimmed frocks az
fected by some women But the oc-
casion for which II is designed makes
all the difference in the world In a
woman's gown.
Although trimmed with lace, such
gown as this is entirely appropriate
for the street, because II is made on
lines Of the strictest simplicity. With
out the scallops and with vest. and
skirt. front Of plain material Il is the
most unsophisticated Of frocks. AS
developed here. il is made dressy

used for the dress, with white agaric
