ception. Your legal advisers will re-
csive the necessary papers in due

He sealed the letter, then gave 1t to
the man, who left the room.
The chancellor pondered deeply
over the situation, then started for
the royal palace to report Napoleon's
visit and Rositta's promises to his
majesty.
When Napoleon arrived home he
had a long conference with Astra.
They were both somewhat depressed.
His disappointment In not securing
the Peak Suemeg was great, because
he had many inventions that required
the use Of cirynith, and he knew that
the counts actions were a menace to
the peace movement.
They decided that they would marry
in the month of July. That evening
they went to Ciryne to tell their deter.
mination to Mrs. Edison.
Napoleon and Astra spent another
day on Ciryne This time Napoleon
conducted the three women through
the wonderful plant where cirynith
was refined and manufactured into
parts of aerodromones and other use

CHAPTER XVII.

The Fifteenth Of July.
July is, the marriage day of Astra
and Napoleon, had been declared o
continental holiday.
From near and far came congratu
lations. They had not planned a gor.
geous ceremony, but they could not
stop the expressions of love that came
from the loyal citizens. The whole
capital was alive with color, and the
messages that came and the sincere
Joy Of all, made the day one to be
remembered for years to come.
Astra had missed Rositta very much.
She had been unable to attend the
wedding, as she had been Ill on the
Island of Ciryne for the last few
weeks.
When Napoleon heard that the
countess was unable to attend their
wedding on account of her indisposi-
ton, he thoughtfully shook his head.
1t seemed incredible that Rositta, who
was so full Of vitality and energy,
should be i'll. He only said: Every
illness has remedy"
He did not give the matter further
thought. He spent the last day before
his marriage in his aerodromone, the
American Eagle. Where he was. OF
what he did, no one seemed to know
and he did not volunteer the informa
ton.
After their wedding luncheon Astra
returned to her presidential office. sa

ored her with his confidence as from
now on there would be no objection to
her visiting the shops whenever she
pleased.
Napoleon took Astra back to Wash
ington late In the afternoon. Mrs. Ed
ison and Rositta walked down to the
sandy shore and sat listening to the
waves. The mother was dreaming of
the happy future for her son. The
other was weaving fine threads of the
net she was tangling about her friends.
Santos was away, but he was ex-
pected back soon. She disliked to see
him leave her side, as she feared to
lose the control that she had gained
over him.
He returned that evening When
Mrs. Edison retired the countess stole
out Of the house and strolled toward

Santos only answer was kisses; he

"Criticise met Is he dissatisfied

Santos breathed fire and flame. Ro

one In American history. When argu
ments were weak, kisses strengthened
them. until poor Santos was nodded

How to Dress Children.

no sot sacrifice utility and practical
cure individuality and artistic grace
which is a necessary attribute of chill
dren. Simplicity combined with comfort
should characterize the attire of little
people. Children are no longer dressed
in garments which prevent free move
ment of the limbs. Material and style
are all-important The fabric should be
soft and durable. Low price in ma
terials for childrens wear is an eX-
travagance, for a cheap stuff always
looks what it is, and does not wear well.
Linens pique. chambrays and ginghams
are all good, and they can be bought in
tempting colors, well worth the having.
One-piece dresses are best for children
from one to twelve years of age. They
fall easily from the shoulders, and all
pinafore frocks are easily made. Guimpes
are a great invention, as they may be
changed SO often to freshen frock. In
stead of being made yoke depth the
guimpe should be extended to the waist
on summer dresses. They are easily
made at home.
1t is surprising how much these little
articles cost when purchased ready
made Lawn. tucked batiste. swiss, dim
ity, lace. all-over embroidery, cross
bar materials nets, etc, may be used
fantastic, for children are very sensitive
as to ridicule They look charming in
picturesque dresses. and all the clear,
pure colOrS suit them. TanS and buff
color and mos. green's wash well and
are cool looking.
