CHAPTER XIII.

Hall, meanwhile, was near the boil
ing point of his rage. He had been
defeated by Carolyn's cleverness. He
was furious at her, at himself, at
everybody. Here were two women,
now, who had a hold on him-and be-
fore long there would be three! Neveri
Hall swore it with a round oath Mrs.
Royalton, at least, would not triumph.

Rosamund's disarming beauty She
was, when it came right down to it,
more or less of a fool. Why not ignore
her, and make a last attempt to win
Flodie? He looked up at the clock.
Good heavens! 1t was already twenty
minutes to twelve! And his four mil
lions were no nearer than ever. He
jumped up impulsively, and strobe to
the door.
The company had about finished
supper. The little orchestra had
started up again, and had begun on a
new turkey-trot AS a proof of it's in
sidious charm, who but Jonas Hassing-

dancing with the fair Rosamund Mr..
Doremus, still surrounded and petted
by the three pretty actresses, was tell
ing funny story. There was sharp
squall of laughter as he finished.
Where the devil was Flodie? Hall
peered from behind the portieres, SO
as not to be seen himself. In a mo-
ment she emerged from the stockroom
with plate of ice cream, and, smiling,
passed 1t to Mr.. Doremus. Then she
looked up, and caught Halls eye. He

Old Stonehenue.

Stonehenge is nine miles north of
Salisbury, in England. The name
comes from the Saxon Stanhengest, or
Hanging Stones. They constitute
the ruins of an ancient sanctuary. In
the middle is the so-called altar-a slab
of blue marble. Most Of the larger
stones are sandstone, the others are
granite Someone has said Of Stone
henge that it is to England what the
pyramids are to Egypt Scientists
have declared that the old castle be-
longs to an epoch nearly two thou
sand years before the birth Of Christ.

upper edge of the sash stands away
from the skirt at the right side, and
for that reason material like taffeta,
with sufficient body, will be most sue
cessful in the development of this de-
sign.
The frock Of which it, is part is
quite unassuming but modish in it's
very simplicity. The blouse is gath
cred about roundabout neck, then
finished with narrow plated ruff1ing,
of self material. An inside high col
lar of fine batiste adds the necessary
touch of white. The ruff1ing is the
only trimming used on the frock and
is seen again at the sleeve ends, ex-
tended part way up the outside of the
arm, and outlining q vertical slash
cut up to the bust line at either side
of the blouse.
The blouse and skirt both being
gathered, are joined with a cord at
the waist line, but an inside betting
will give the needed firmness The
skirt is cut by a circular pattern and
gathered slightly around the top.
II copenhagen blue taffeta is used
for this design, splendid effect can
be achieved through the use of rose
coral taffeta to line the sash and face
the skirt with. Green, chamois color.
or figured taffetas might also be eff
fectively used, or any other combina-
ton of colors since the vogue for con-
trasting skirt facings and Innings is
so pronounced. Cloud gray, with

A remarkable will was made by a
French lady, who died recently in

shall eventually be inferred in the
field where the final decisive victory
is gained. | also leave the whole of
