When the night boat from Dover to

her maid were on board. with all their
bags and trunks, and Brandon Booth

in the heart of that glittering London
town.
The night was fogladen and drip

unpleasant Wrapped in q thick sea-
ulster Hetty sat huddled up in the lea
of the deckhouse, sick at heart and
miserable. She reproached herself for
the scurvy trick she was playing on
him, reyiled herself and yet pitied her
self.
A tall man came shambling down
the narrow space along the rail and
stopped directly in front of her. She
started in alarm as he reached out his
hand to support himself against the

The most noted swimmer in this
country is Miss Annette Kellerman.
Quite likely there are numbers Of
men who swim as we'll and have as
much endurance. But no one of them
can do better, and no one of them can
look half as we'll as this sister to the

rich fabric, folds, covered cords, tucks
and plaits, very neatly made Of the
material, provide the best Of all dec
orations. There is something about
the distinctive character OF this I'M
usual product which precludes much
ornamentation.
In the construction Of apparel for
mourning 1t should be borne In mind
that extremes Of style are inappro-
pirate. Conservative designs In
dresses and hats are in good form
always and in mourning costumes
they are imperative.
In the matter Of decoration, also,
the forms that show careful workman
ship and express a sedateness in
choice are consistent and therefore
beautiful
In millinery there is wider range
in choice of trimmings, but, after all,
none looks so well as forms Of flow
ers, buckles or ornaments made up In

plaits.
