Prom literary point of visw there
have been few greater pastoral stor-

lously popular is proven by the fact
that over a million persons have read
it. When one has read a story, there
is always desire to see it played; to
see the characters in real life, and
this is undoubtedly one of the most
important reasons for the success of

For EVENING Wear.

Evening dress is quite lovely this
year. and the tunic as much to the
fore as ever. though rather shorter
than that OF last. winter. The bead
embroidery is all the rage, and 1t Is
almost crowded upon the ninon that
composes these tunica. They are OF
the most vivid colors, and the variety
Of designs is surprising. There ap-
pears to be no end to the inventive
ness Of the clever brains employed In
this interesting If arduous work. The
great difficulty Must be to differen-
tiate the patterns from each other.
One Of the loveliest has two long
stemmed lilies rising from the hem in
front. and a border of similar but
smaller lilies finishes the tunic. The
color ia ~eerfse. with crystal beads.
and a curiously effective touch is the
very narrow. fat piping, In the very
palest greenish blue, which finishes
the tunic around the shoulders and
borders the sleeves. Lovely effects
are made by laying these beautiful
colors over each other.
