front is braided with soutache braid
matching the crepe in color. A short
belt braided in the same way extends
across the back.
The waist is cut with a v opening
at the neck in front and standing turn
over collar at the back. This collar
is faced with black satin, which is
decorated at the edge with a pattern
put on with ~sand-colored soutache
braid. Cuffs Of the crepe are cut with
a turnover upper edge which is also
faced with black satin and finished
at the edge with the soutache braid
as on the collar. A separate stock of
black satin with fiat bow in front fin
ishes the neck.
The dress fastens with fiat pearl
buttons down the front. Covered but
tons made of black satin might be
used to good advantage In place OF
the pearl. A shaped piece set on at
each side carries a little pocket.
Machine stitching with silk like the
crepe in color makes a decorative fin
ish at the seams.
1t requires about five yards of dou'
BILE width goods for this dress, so that
the crepe and the satin cost not more
than four dollars, leaving a sufficient
balance to pay for the buttons, braid
and silk thread, and also for the bit
of thin muslin that makes the under
bodice.

had, of course, taken his, according to
the regulations.
Curiously enough, however, the door
of the consulate and the safe had been
opened with the keys which my friend
had left in my charge. Indeed, the
small bunch still remained in the safe
door.
In an instant the recollection flashed
across my mind that l had felt the
keys in my pocket while at dinner on
board the Lola. Had I lost them on
my homeward drive, or had my pocket
been picked?
While we were engaged in putting
the scattered papers in order the door
bell rang, and the clerk went to at
tend to the caller.
In a few moments he returned, say
ing: "The English yacht left sud
denly last night, signore, and the cap.

whether you know to what port she is
bound"

A quarter of an hour later l was sit
ting in the private Office of the shrewd,
gray-haired f%unctionary who had sent
this messenger to me.
DO you know, signore commenda-
tore" he said, some mystery sur.
rounds that vessel. She is not the
Lola, for yesterday we telegraphed
to Lloyd's, in London, and this morn
ing / received a reply that no such
yacht appears on their register, and
that the name is unknown. The police
have also telegraphed to your English
police inquiring about the owner, Sig
more Horribly, with a like result. There
is no such place as Woodcroft Park
in Somerset, and no member Of
Brooks club of the name of Horribly
l sat staring at the official, toe
amazed to utter a word. Certainly
they had not allowed the grass tc
grow beneath their feet.

Wool crepes are about the most
worth while novelties in dress goods
for summer wear. They fill much the
same place as wool challie and nuns
yelling, being soft, light in weight and
durable. But the crepe surface Is
prettier than a plain surface. The
crepes come in all colors and are
used for negligees in fancy shades
and for afternoon, evening and home
gowns.
This fabric is really elegant looking.
1t runs about forty inches wide and
is sold at rs cents a yard, or even less.
1t does not take much reckoning to
find that an ordinary dress requires
less than five dollars as an invest
ment for materials.
The novel afternoon dress shown in
the picture is made in one piece, al
though the bodice and skirt are cut
separately and mounted on a light
underbodice Of thin muslin. This
bodice is made separately and fitted
to the figure, extending below the
waist line. The back portion of the
crepe bodice is cut to extend over the
shoulder and is Joined to the front
portion several inches below the
shoulder seam in the underbodice.
The front portion is cut out at the
sides in bolero jacket effect and is
fulled into a belt at the waist line in
front and at the seams below the
shoulders. The short belt across the

often forget that mans f%aithfulnesc to

by the wiles of a bad one. and that
more often than not a woman stands
at each end OF the path that stretches
from heaven to hell.
We forget. too, by what dear and

Man.nr,x., planes.

Before the invention of the aero
plane many attempts were made to
invent flying machines in which man
power alone would be employed. All
these attempts, however. ended in
failure.
Mathematician have estimated
that man is far too heavy to be sus-
tanned in the air by the power Of his
own muscles, no matter how large
may be the wings that he fastens to
his body. Among birds the weight
limit Is approached most closely BY

capped a search, then it was a most I'M
usual thing. Besides, what motive
could Horribly have in eluding the s
toms visit? They would, of course,
seal up his wines and liquors, but even
if they did, they would leave him out
sufficient for the consumption Of him
self and his friends.
No. Philip Horribly had some strong
motive in paying a heavy bride to
avoid the visit of the dogma. II he
really had paid, he must have paid
very heavily; of that raj convinced.
Was it possible that some mystery
was hidden on board that splendidly
appointed craft?
Presently the gong sounded, and we
went below into the elegantly fitted
saloon, where was spread a table that
sparkled with cut glass and shone
with silver. Everywhere it was ap-
parent that none but an extremely
wealthy man could afford such a mag
nifcent craft.
