sons dresses is that they look well on
most of us. You may have felt posi-.
tive the new frocks would never suit
your own particular style, but as soon
as you tried on few in the shops you
knew you had seldom seen yourself as
becomingly gowned.
After the trying completely of re-
cent draped designs that were really
suited to so few figures, the grace and
dignity of the new straight lines come
as a blessing. Then. too. with fuller
skirts it is relief to feel able to ne
gotiate lifesized steps. We need no
longer give an imitation of musical

girls with their hobbled. mincing steps.
Most stylish and practical is the

made by covering the whole with
metal lace or gold net. 1t is possible
to obtain somewhat the same effect by
stretching piece of old lace curtain
on an improvised frame of some sort,
gliding 1t very lightly with gold paint,
then removing 1t and applying 1t to the
basket.
The boudoir baskets are sometimes
lined with silk, as well as having an
outside covering of it. If such lining

KEEPING THE GLOVES CLEAN
One Woman's Simple Continuance
That May Be Recommended as
Most Useful.

Most women are using their furs
now, and since white gloves are so
popular this year 1t has become a
problem to keep the gloves clean.
A young woman who Is we'll sup
piled with many practical accessories
to dress seems to have solved this
puzzle.
She displayed a simple contrivance
made of fancy silk.
The silk was sewed together to
form separate lining and made a
trifle smaller than the regular lining,
with casing at each end through
which was run elastic drawn UP to
hold the lining tight about the wrists.
Use some material that launders
well and often. White silk doesn't.
The lining may have to be washed two
or three times a week 1t is much
easier to wash the lining than to clean
the gloves.

1t was picturesque addition to the
town through which it cut at the point
OF greatest activity. With the various
bridges connecting the residence por-
ton with the lower business streets
we have nothing to do. But there was
nearer one, of which the demands of
this story necessitate clear presenta-
ton.
This bridge was called Long, and
spanned the ravine and its shallow
stream of water not quarter of a
mile below the short road or lane we
have just seen Judge Ostrander enter.
Between it and this lane, a narrow path
ran amid the trees and bushes bor-
dering the ravine. This path was sell
dom used, but when it was it acted as
a short cut to certain part of the
town mostly given over to factories.
Indeed the road of which this bridge
formed part was called Factory on
this account. Starting from the main
highway half-mile or so below Os-
trander lane, it ran diagonally back
to the bridge, where it received a turn

CHAPTER III.
Across the eridae.

1t was ten o'clock. not later, when
the judge re-entered his front door, He
was alone-absolutely alone, as he had
never been since that night of long
ago, when with the inner fence CON-
pleted and the gates all locked, he
turned to the great negro at his side
and quietly said:
I'VE are done with the world. Bella.
Are you satisfied to share this solitude
with me?" And Bella had replied:
might and day. your honor. And
when you are not here-when you are
at court. to bear it alone"
And now this faithful friend was
dead, and it was he who must bear it
alone-alone! How could he face It!
He sought for no answer. nor did he
allow himself to dwell for one minute
on the thought. There was something
else he must do first-do this very
night. if possible.
Taking down his hat from the rack.
he turned and went out again. this
time carefully locking the door behind
him, also the first gate. But he
stopped to listen before lifting his
hand to the second one.
A sound of steady breathing, accom-
panied by a few impatient movements.
came from the other side. A man was
posted there within foot of the gate.
Eoiselessly the judge recoiled and
made his way around to the other set
of gates. Here all was quiet enough,
and. sliding quickly out, he cast a
hasty glance up and down the lane.
and. seeing nothing more alarming
than the back Of second officer loung-
ing at the corner, pulled the gate
quietly to and locked it.
He was we'll down the road toward
the ravine before the officer turned.
The time has now come for giving
you clearer idea of this especial
neighborhood. Judge Ostrander's
house, situated at the juncture of an
unimportant road with the main high
way. had in It's rear three small
houses, two of them let and one still
unrented. Farther on, but on the op-
posite side of the way, stood very
old dwelling. in which there lived and
presumably worked solitary woman,
the sole and final survivor of large
family. Beyond was the ravine. cut
ting across the road and terminating
1t. This ravine merits some descrip-
ton.
