DRESDEN IDEAS COME BACK
Revival Is a Natural Result OF the
Fad That Calls for the Pan
nIer Draperies.

With the revival of the pannier
draperies comes back decided en-
phasis on dresden silks, with all the
exquisite colorings that we associate
with the Dresden shepherdesses. Pinks
and blue, yellows and pale green are
the backgrounds on which are
sprinkled fascinating bouquets, gar
lands and even baskets Of flowers.
The dresden silks and satins are
particularly adapted to suit the
coatees that are incorporated on after
noon and evening frocks for summer.
They are not so striking in contrast
with a plain, thin fabric and fhere is
great scope for color combinations and
flower effects.
The rose season, so noticeable IN
fashions for the summer, is timely
one for flowered mulls, organdies, mus
Inns, yoiles and chiffons with which the
dresden silks effectively combine.
Hats covered with dresden taffeta
are decidedly chic. Bridesmaids now
are favoring hats of this typo to con-
tinue the idea Of the dresden coatee
thrown over simple ana uSaDle llochS
of white or plain colors.
Little dresden silk slippers for the
rest hour add new touch to the
negligee set, especially If bindings or
trimmings of dresden silk be used on
the gown.
Dresden sashes, with an extra line
of the ribbon quilting trailing in and
out among the punches Of flowers, are
accepted by womankind as an idea
that makes the assurance of beauty
doubly sure.
1t Is undeniable that the dresden col
orings in designs that are varied and
inexpensive are a factor in the general
beauty of summer styles. Are you
using them?

Not the Real Thing.

From a city apartment little Jack
was going for the first time to spend
Christmas at his grandfather farm.
AS he ran up the steps of the old
house his grandmother caught him up
in her arms and put him down, rosy
and laughing, before the great log fire
IN the living room.
Isn't that fine. Jackie, boy?" she
said. You don't have big log fires
like that in New York, do you?"
The boy looked with wide-eyed de-
light at the huge logs as they blazed
and cracked in the generous old fire
place, but he was stanchly loyal tc
his six rooms and bath"
It's nice, grandma, but it's only an
imitation gas log, isn't it? We have
real ones in my house. "-Ltpptncott

Silk AnnIes on Hats.

WITH THE PARTISAN SANCTION
Position Hat Is Sure to Be Copied
Though No Longer In the
Greatest Vogue.

The fancy for the position hat has
been short-lived so far as Paris Is con-
cerned, and London never greatly
cares for millinery which the Paris
ienne accepts as bien amusante. More
or less curly of brim, and with tall
stiff crown, these hats trimmed with
a feather en- fantaisie or floral
aigrette had brief furore, and Ger
tainly when new they were most ap-
pealing. They could not, however,
bear repetition, and since people have
taken to wearing them they have lost
their attraction. For once the French
woman seems to have forgotten that
the fact of hat being chic when worn
by woman of one type may make
it impossible for those who belong to
another
This style of hat Is, however, being
made for autumn, and milliners are
looking fayorably upon its possibilities
in beaver felt and plush.

CHAPTER xxvI,-fcontinued1

He waited now for the night to
fixed in the heavens. At Belle Plain
Tom Ware was watching it with a
shuddering sense of the swiftness OF
its flight. But at last the tops of the
tall trees obscured it; 1t sank quickly
then and blazed a ball of fire beyond
the Arkansas coast, while its dying
glory spread aslant the heavens, turn
Ing the tanks of the gray clouds to
violet and purple and gold.
With the first approach of darkness
Darlington made his way to the shed.
Hidden in the shadow he paused to
listen, and fancied he heard difficult
breathing from within. The door
creaked hideously on its wooden
hinges when he pushed it open, but as
1t swung back the, last remnant OF
the days light showed him some dark
object lying prone on the dirt floor.
He reached down and, his hano rested
on a mans booted foot
"George-" Darlington spoke softly,
but the man on the floor gave no sign
that he heard, and Carrington's Ques-
tioning touch stealing higher he found
that George-if it were George-was
lying on his side with his arms and
legs securely bound. Thinking he
slept, the Kentuckian shook him gent
ly to arouse him.
''George?" he repeated, still bend
Ing above him. This time an inartic-
uIate murmur answered him. At the
same instant the woolly head OF the
negro came under his fingers and he
discovered the reason of his silence.
He was as securely gagged as he was
bound.
Listen, George-it's Carrington-l
am going to take off this gag. but
don't speak above whisper-they
may hear u.s." And he cut the cords
that held the gag in place.
How yo' get here, Mas'r Gazing

the gag fell away.

about on his heel. A lanterns light
flashed suddenly in his face and Bess

ing from her lips, paused in the door
way. Springing forward. Darlington
seized her by the wrist.
"Hush!" he grimly warned
What are you doin' here?" demand

of his hand, but Darlington drew her
into the shed, and closing the door,
set his back against 1t. There was
