CHAPTER v.
The Bird Behind Bars,

tUS 0u0 00utUO 0dr0s
The most beautiful blue Irish eyes
IN the world gazed out at the dawn
which turned night-blue into day-blue
and paled the stars. Rosal lay the un-
dulating horizon. presently to burst in
to living flame, transmitting the dull
steel bars of the window into fairy
gold, that trick Of alchemy SO futilely
sought by man. There was a window
at the north and another at the south,
likewise barred; but the Irish eyes
never sought these two. 1t was from
the east window only that they could
see the long white road that led to
Paris.
The nightingale was truly Gagged.
But the wild heart of the eagle beat
in this nightingale's breast, and the
eyes burned as fiercely toward the
east as the east burned toward the
west. Sunday and Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday and Thursday, today;
and that the five dawns were singu-
lar In beauty and that she had never
in her life before witnessed the Gre

made no impression upon her sense of
the beautiful. SO delicate and receptive
ir ordinary times. She was conscious
that within her the cup Of wrath was
overlooking. OF other things. such as
eating and sleeping and moving about
in her cage (more like an eagle in
deed than q nightingale), recurrence
had blunted her perception.
"Oh. but he shall pay. he shall pay!"
she murmured. striving to loosen the
bars with her small, white, helpless
hands. The cry seemed to be an ari-
eta, for through all these four mad
dening days she had voiced it-now
low and deadly with hate. now full
toned in burning anger, now broken by
sobs OF despair. will you never
come. SO that may tell you how base
and vile you are?" she further ad-
dressed the east. ~s7
She had waited for his appearance
on Sunday. Late in the day ono of the
Jailers had informed her that 1t was
impossible for the gentleman to come
before Monday. So she marshaled her
army of phrases, of accusations, of de-
nunciations. ready to smother him
with them the moment he came. But
he came not Monday, nor Tuesday,
nor Wednesday. The suspense was to
her mind diabolical. She began to un-
derstand; he intended to keep her
there till he was sure that her spirit
was broken, then he would come
Break her spirit? She laughed wildly
He could break her spirit no more
easily than she could break these
bars. To bring her to Versailles upon
an errand Of mercy! Well. he was
capable Of anything.
She was not particularly distressed
because she knew that 1t would not be
possible for her to sing again until the
following winter in New York. She
had sobbed too much, with her face
buried In the pillow. Had these sobs
been born of weakness, all might have
been we'll; but rage had mothered
them, and thus her voice was in a
very bad way. This morning she was
noticeably hoarse, and there was
break In the arietta. No, she did not
fret over this side of the calamity. The
sting Of 1t all lay in the fact that she
had been outraged In the matter of
personal liberty. with no act Of re-
prisal to ease her immediate longing
to be avenged.

ONE of the prettiest models for lit
" tie girls dresses is from the estab-
hshment of Berthe Raulin. and its
daintiness and simplicity speak well
for the Paris modiste. Fine null or
batiste is the fabric upon which there
is moderate amount of hand en-
broidery in eyelet work and fiat
daisies.
The scant fullness OF the dress is
provided by single box plaits at the
front and back. There are two at each
side of the middle panel. The lower
edge of the skirt is cut in squares at
the front, back and each side. A fiounce
of Imitation. all-over val lace, edged
with n narrow edging of the Name
kind of lace. is set in at each OF the
square openings. This gives plenty of
freedom at the lower edge of the
skirt
There is border outlining the low
er edge of the batiste. of a strong
lace in Irish crochet pattern. The EN-.
broidered daisies are applied to both
the batiste and this lace.
There is a yoke and collar in one

Of embroidered batiste edged with
the same lace. The sleeves are OF
the alLover val edged with the same
lace as that in the bottom OF the skirt
and on the collar. This collar ex-
tends over the top OF the sleeves like
wide epaulette
A soft ribbon, about Ave inches
wide. is drawn through the skirt where
the fiounces of val lace are set in.
A short space is left at the side OF
each fiounce. The ribbon is threaded
through this. 1t extends under the
skirt. from one space or slash to the
next and is tied In knot at the front
and in a fiat bow at the back.
Small fiat crochet buttons. barrel

three each up the front and back. The
dress fastens with fiat pearl buttons

NOTHING could set forth more clear
IN ly the fashion in figures than the
coat of taffeta which is shown In the
picture. The fiat chest. low bust. alb
sence of waist line. and loose hang
of the coat are all items to reckon
with in choosing apparel to meet the
latest whims of those who create
styles And the approval OF those
who make styles into fashions. by
adopting and wearing them, is al

The figure, as managed In the new
modes. is straight up and down. or
appears so. with curves only those
provided by drapery and placed to
suit the modiste But in spite of this
arbitrary draping and loose adjust

of elegance In the fashionable ap-

these style features In a garment like
the little coat shown here in a man
