Captain Paul's daughters were hav-
ing an afternoon party In the house
on the hillside, overlooking the sea.
The Captain had retired with a com
petence ten years before. but 1t had
been heartbreaking work, and half a
dozen times he had lost all in ship
wrecks and started life again. And
his wife had not lived to see the pros
perity which at last came to him
as the result of a successful whaling
adventure.
The Captain sat dreaming on his
porch most of the time, staring out at
the sea. He did not hear the young
people In general, but he had heard
Myra's words.

"Well-Tm glad they won't have TO

He thought of their life in the little
seaport cottage, Of his months'-long
absences at sea, Of the lonely woman
who cared for the home and babies
when he was gone, of those home
comings, sometimes with fair prosper
lty, often with nothing.
The bitterness of life had eaten into
his soul when he was a young man.
Now, in old age, he had nothing to
enjoy In life.

And 1t seemed to him that the
smoke from his pipe curled in Gu

and obscured his vision.
And out Of the wreath emerged a
woman's form-a beautiful woman
with something in her eyes that at
once soothed and awed him.

Bob was the baby who had died.

FASHION NOTES
 OF INTEREST

IN general way, it may be said that for all afternoon and morning occa-
 sions, the coat suit Is the prevailing costume, although long coats and coats of fur are much worn over gowns of velvet and of heavy silk of broadcloth. and of various other ma terials. Whether or not the military influence that is in the air, has had its effect, the tailored suit is com paratively simple creation this season. The over-elaborate, dressy costume that has been put forth under such name during the past few years, is not conspicuous. While great deal of fur trimming is used and while braid of every kind is in evidence, there is certain air of simplicity, and that sim plicity always means handsome and distinctive result.
 At a first glance, the thought is that everything flares, that from beiEg straight and narrow, we have suddenly grown voluminous, for in one way or another. in the coat, in the tunic or in the skirt breadth, width and ripple effect is to be found. But while this is true, second glance assures recogni- tion of the fact that in many instances women are clinging to straight lines, for they are loathe to give up all the slenderness which 1t has taken years to achieve. A very handsome coat suit seen during an afternoon session was for example, made of black broad cloth with narrow skirt and oddly shaped tunic, and the tunic was laid in many plaits. Consequently, when the wearer walked, there was much flare and breadth, but when she stood, there were straight lines preserved. The coat extended only little below the waist-line, but hung in straight lines and was trimmed with collar and cuffs of blue fox, while the accom- panying hat was real "tricorne" with crown of silver brocaded velvet with lp-turned brim of plain velvet banded with fur of the same sort. An exceed ingly handsome suit was made of com bined broadclcth and baby lamb vel vet in wonderful shade of mole. the skirt or as much of the skirt as could be seen was made of the fur velvet

is of paillettcd net, with plain net edged with pearl trimming for the sleeves and the neck finish. The color is white with crystal and pearl pail lettes, and there is a big velvet rose worn as garniture. The gown is one of the most fashionable that could be shown, extremely dainty and useful, quite within the reach of any home dressmaker. The hounces are straight and gathered, arranged over a two- piece foundation. The little under bodice and the basque are both ar ranged over lining so that the full ness is held in place. The costume as II stands IS as pretty as could be, but the idea could be copied in many ways for the little basque could be used plain satin or plain velvet if the pailettcd net is not liked.
 For the bodice will be required in the medium size Iss yards of material 2 inches wide yard $ or s4 yard 44, with $4 yard 36 for the trimming DOT tions and the sleeves: for the skirt 2's yards P, ,3o or A., with 512 yards P. 3l2 yards 30 or 3 yards A for the flounces.
 The brocades of the season are mar velously lovely. They show the richest colors and many of them show metal threads. but while exceedingly rich in effect, they arc soft and pliable. The third costume of the group shows one in combination with lace houncing. The houncing makes straight, shirred skirt over which the draped train is arranged. and the edges of the train meet at the front to give an overskirt suggestion. The basque is one of the daintiest garments possible, shirred over foundation that holds its gathers to position and with short, pretty; full sleeves.
 Velvet would be handsome in place of the brocadc, or plain satin, or any material of the sort, and chiffon velvet or charmeuse satin are much used for evening gowns. while chiffon velvet treated just after the manner Of the brocade would be exceedingly beautiful. For the medium size the basque will require , yards Of material ? inches wide. or I12 yards 56 or IL with 12 yard II for sleeves and trimming: the skirt will re1urre yards of houncing A in. wide. with 21. yards ,,6 or Al for the train

TIE present is season of very
 marked variety in fabrics em-
 ployed for evening gowns. On the ono hand we see the richest and the most sumptuous brocades and on the other the lightest and flmicst nets and similar materials, but whether brocade or net, silk or satin, Is chosen, lace is largely employed in combination, and there is a very marFed tendency toward the use of scintillating beads as trimming. The beads arc employed to finish edges; they are applied over stamped de signs to outline border or give convcntionalized flower effect; and paillettes are sewed all over thin ma terial to produce a superbly brilliant result
 In general way, It is to be noted that the bodies are to be finished over the skirts, but for the younger con- tlngent, at least the swathirg sash or girdlc is much used. and in combina- ton with that the finish may be sither over or under, since the edge 9f the waist and the edge of the skirt are entirely hidden from sight.
 For the dance. skirts are made of comfortable length. For the dinner and the opera. trains arc liked but the favorite train of the season is cut separately and is arranged over the complete skirt in place of making part thereof.
 .At the extreme left of the picture is shown young girls dancing trock. It is an extremely dainty creation made of pink silk tulle over white lace, and Is trimmed with pink rosebud band ing. The girdle is of charmeusc satin. also pink. l he skirt is a very simple, very attractive one the foundation being in two pieces Of satin with the lace flouncing over 1t, while the tunic Is straight and gathered.

with long faring tunic of the cloth and the coat again was a short one of the velvet to match the skirt, with sleeves of cloth. for this is a season of contrasting sleeves, and these appear in the coat suits of more elaborate sort as we'll as in the gowns. Beaver is more conspicuous than it has been in many years. A very elegant costume of green velour de laine was made with circular skirt finished with a wide band of beaver fur and coat that hung in straight lines to below the hips where it was finished with a full skirt forming. a deep band at each side and this skirt was edged with a narrow band of the beaver, the same fur beirg used for the choker collar and wide cuffs. Chokers are unquestionably d feature, and that they are becoming IS true. but whether ct mfortable or not under mild weather conditions. must be left for each wearer to decide for herself A cos tune that gives evidence of the pre- vailing military effect and at the same time is far from being severe, was made of velours in a really wonderful shade  of blue with trimming of opossum bands. and with real Bradenburgs closing the simple coat, while above the fur the tunic was richly enbroid- cred in subdued colors. The skirt in this instance was narrow and plain, the tunic full and much hared, but open at the sides in a rather unusual way, and the fur was approximately foui inches in width and the embroid- cry above perhaps a little more. The coat was the almost inevitable one for suits of the kind, simple, plain, but taking straight lines under the arms, with band of fur finishing it at just about the hip line, and the choker and the bands on the sleeves were also of fur Fur coats always are sumptuous and always can be trusted to appear at the Horse Show, let that occasion come upon date it may. An exquisite one bat is fairly typical of prevailing styles was made of Per sian lamb with trimming of sable. the body portion being just loose enough for comfort with moderately wide sleeves, but below the waist 1t spread, and flaied to reveal q lining of rich white satin brocadc. One of sable skins made choker collar. and there

were two bands of equal width on each sleeve, with a brush finishing each, and at the low waist-line was arranged entire skins that formed a belt. Be- heath the coat was to be seen a skirt of black velvet, and there was a tiny little toque of soft pliable fur with trimming of paradise. Almost by its side, was seen a costume of heavy faille silk in wonderful shade of chestnut brown with trimming of brown fox. The skirt was circular, generously hared and banded with fur, and the coat was in half length, with fur at its lower edges. But in this instance. in place of collar was worn a fur scarf, although bands of fur fin ished the close fitting sleeves. The hat was again a tiny little close fitting turban, with two little feathers that dropped coquettishly at the back of the hat, in place of standing upright
 Beneath the fur coats were worn great many dresses in what is known as the Moyen Age style, and velvet is unquestionably favorite for such, although velvet is often combined with other materials. 4 beautiful gown seen during an evening session, was of the favorite faille silk in a rich shade of green. with trimming of skunk, and the important feature unquestionably was an overdress or tunic in the real Moyen Age style, for it was cut with round neck and without sleeves, and was made much after the manner of the

Beware Of Hog Cholera
Even though hog cholera has been

in serum production at the South Da-

says further:
"We must not allow ourselves to
feel too secure in the belief that COM
plete eradication has been accomplish
ed, although by the judicious use OF
serum, and the practice of hygenic
and sanitary methods, the disease has
been checked in many localities. The
virus, or germ that is the specific
cause of hog cholera, is not killed by
cold weather; it does, however, be-
