hung her head and was silent. A
month later came the news of the
Admiral's engagement, and still later
the announcement of his marriage.
Eugene never mentioned his
name. She became quiet and sought
seclusion. Her parents did all in
their power to drive away her care.
They sErmised, but never asked for
a reason. She never volunteered an
explanation. She became re-
nowned beauty, but rejected every
sutton FOR her hand
One night the Fortescue family
attended concert in old Queens
Hall, Hanover Square. Eugene and
her sister sat together. It was a
smart occasion. The house was en-
fete and packed. The programme
was a most delightful one, and both
girls were fond of music.
Suddenly, without a moments
warning, Eugene fell from her seat
in faint. So great was the COM
motion that the music ceased while
the girl was carried into an ante
room and revived. AS she came to
she uttered faint scream of terror.
Her sister tmplored her to explain.

will tell you" she painted. When
the girls we're alone and the door
was shut she clutched at her sis
ter's hand and said: TITS too hor-
rible, Dora, too horrible! He's dead,
dead at my feet, my Admiral. oh,
OH" Then she described what she
saw: Hes all entangled in the
sea weeds. l see the sea water
streaming through his dear hairi His
eyes are open, those dear, dear eyes!
Now he sinksl No! He swimsi
Oh! oh, again he sinks-he is gone!
Gone, my love, my love. Oh! how

Scottish home at least three hun
dred years OF age. In the Winter
time the only occupants are the
caretakers, an old man and his wife,
who occupy one OF the small bed
rooms overlooking the Loeb.
One night in the month Of March,
a few years ago, terrific gale
swept over the Loeb and up the
mountain sides, shaking the mighty
pines like so many bullrushes. The
wind shook the building to its
foundations, and, wherever it found
the slightest entrance, roared through
the empty halls
The old people we're shaken out OF
their slumber simultaneously by a
mysterious sound in the corridor
over their bedroom. A feeling of
fear and horror crept over them, for
the sound seemed to have a CHASTITY
significance. 1t seemed to them that
a heavy weight was being dragged
quite slowly along the corridor over

in bed and listened, spellbound, to
the noise. me same mental picture
came to both Of their minds-that
of a heavy bag being dragged toward
the staircase. Ii seemed as though
the bag was filed with some yield

hard. They heard the sound of its
transit along the floor. At times
the sound indicated rather helpless

caretaker's wife was so Mortified that
she was on the edge of hysteria.
She trembled and shook like an
aspen leaf The old man held her
tightly and spoke words of comfort,
courage and cheer in Gaelic
Gradually the noise approached
the head of the broad staircase; then
came a crash that shook the house,
The sound clearly indicated thar

young Templeton had conducted to
the dining room and entertained at

In the march to the dining room
he was given the place of honor.

efforts to entertain her and give her
pleasure.

Never was any fashion prettier for
young girls than the semi-princesse
dress made in such style as this one.
1t Is simple and youthful in effect
whatever the material, while 1t is
equally we'll adapted to the more
dressy fabrics of afternoon and the
simpler fabrics of morning wear.
Everything that suggests the tunic
idea is fashionable and this trimming
band arranged over the skirt trans
forms the plain costume into an elab-
crate one. Fundamentally. the dress
is extremely simple. the skirt being
made in three pieces and the blouse
with only shoulder and under.arm
seams. Long sleeves and those Of
three-quarter length have equal vogue
and each warer is free to choose the
length that is most becoming. and the
dress can be made with or without the
chemisette with equal propriety. In
the large view. the dress is made Of
harmeuse satin with collar of velvet
and frills Of lace and there are little
velvet covered buttons arranged over
the box plaits that finish the front
edges.
For the is year size. the dress will
require 7h yards of material %. 5 3-S
yards Sc or 5 Ia yards a. inches wide
with 3-8 yard of velvet for the collar.
The width of the skirt at the lower
edge is l rs yards.
The pattern 1879 is cut in sizes for
girls of 16 and ID years. It will be
mailed to n address by the Fashion
department of this paper, on receipt
of ten cents.
