out in his sleep that Henry Craven, who
ten years before had ruined his father
and himself, is dead, and finds that Hill
ton Toye, who shares the stateroom with
him, knows Craven and also Blanche
Macnair, former neighbor and play
mate. When the daily papers come
aboard at Southampton Toye reads that
Craven has been murdered and calls
Cazalet's dream second sight. He thinks
of doing little amateur detective work
on the case himself. In the train to town
they discuss the murder. which was COM
mitted at Cazalet's old home. Toye hears
from Cazalet that Scruton. who had been
Cazalet's friend and the scapegoat for
Cravens dishonesty, has been released

river and meets Blanche. Toye also
comes to see her and tells Cazalet that

Cazalet and Blanche go to Cazalet's old

committed, shows him a secret passage
he knew as a boy, and leads the way
through it. In town Toye, talking with

FAMOUS OLD MOUNTAIN
ARAFAT HAS A CONSPICUOUS
PLACE IN HISTORY.
Center of Troubled Land Where Peace
Is Comparatively Unknown Guam
tity-Proud Record cIaimad
by Armenian Race.

Mount Ararat, where there has
been hardly moments peace since
Noah and his ark grounded upon its
massive shoulder, is at present the
huge, troubled boundary mark be-
tween the Ottoman empire and Russia,
and under the shadows of the historic
peak the fighting lines of OsmanH and
Russian have been swaying back and
forth, never far beyond the lines of
the frontier" begins bulletin issued
by the National Geographic society.
'Ararat is the hub of Armenia, of
the original home of the Haik people
1t is also the center of what has ever
been the most troubled area on earth
Tribes of Europe and of Asia have
fought each other here from the dawn
of history. and the remnants from the
battles have settled as neighbors, hat
ing, despoiling. massacring one an
other.
"Ararat is one of the most impress
sive of earth's mountains. for it rises
sheer to the clouds out of an immense
plain.
"The dominant mountain is split
into two peaks, Great and Little Ar
arat. Great Ararat rises to height
of 10000 feet above the level of the
sea. Little Ararat, where the boun-
daries of the Ottoman empire. of Rus
sia and of Persia meet, reaches an
altitude Of 1880 feet. Though the
snow line here is very high-14.000
feet-the dome of Great Ararat Is COW
cred with glitering fields of unbroken
white.
"a vast wealth of legend surrounds
the mountain, which has always deep
ly impressed the imaginations of the
peoples who have wandered, passed or
settled beneath it. The Armenian
priests long believed that the wonder
ful mysteries of it's summit might
never be surveyed by human eyes.
and all thought of scaling Ararat was
considered almost in the light of
sacrilege.
"The Armenians have also held that
they are the first people after the
flood, the immediate descendants Of
Noah, so to speak; for the first vii
lage that Noah founded after abandon
ing the ark was Nakhitchevan, So the
Armenian thinks that his people were
the first race of men to grow up In
the world after the flood.
"The name Ararat means high The
Persian name for the mountain Kohl

"Noah's wife was buried in this val.

Hertzian Waves.

Hertzian waves are electric waves,
so called from Heinrich Hertz 1857.
1S94), a German engineer and scien-
tist, who first demonstrated the posi-
bility of wireless telegraphy. In the
course of his investigations he dem
onstrated some new principles regard
ing the transmission of light and eIec-
tricity. and his premature death was
regarded as distinct loss to science.
Wireless telegraphy is sometimes
called Hertzian telegraphy. The pres
ent Marconi method of telegraphing
without wires is by means of "Hert-
zian waves" which pass through the
ether-the medium that fills all space,
and remains after air has been ex-
hausted. The apparatus generates
and transmits these waves, the exis.
tence and operation of which were
frst demonstrated by Hertz

AS an ally to the diaphanous blouse
face of winter-the underbodice of
wash silk and lace is evidently des-
tined to divide nonors with it. 1t is
equally soft and attractive, and has
only made its entry on career of use
fulness that is to grow in Importance.
Washable silks and satins, crepe de
chine and some new silk weaves are
used, with lingerie laces. to make
these underbodices. They launder as
easily as cotton or linen fabrics and
are just as durable. With these prac-
tical attributes in their favor, and the
silk, to recommend them, it is safe
to anticipate their appeal to women.
Two of the most popular underbod-
ices are shown in the picture above,
both very simple in construction. Val
insertion and edging is used in COM
bination with silk and with ribbon for
making them. In one of them the
bodice is formed by sewing alternating
rows of lace and wash ribbon together
with machine stitching. In the others
a yoke is made of rows of the inser-
tion, machine stitched together and
edged with narrow lace, and having a
wide band of thin silk set on to it.
When bodices of this kind are made
at home the edges of the lace inser-
tion may be whipped together by hand
with a little better effect than is nos
sible In machine stitching.
White and light pink silks are used
with cream-colored lace for making
the majority of silk and lace bodices,
but they are sometimes made in light
shade of the color in the blouse with

Gilt Is Popular.

Gowns are trimmed with gilt, and
evening wraps are sometimes literally
sprayed with it. The new silks of the
season are chiefly glorious metal bro
cades, silks interviewer with gold, sill
yer or iridescent metal threads. These
metal brocade silks are used alone or
in combination with other silks, as one
prefers.
Gilt braids will be used in limited
quantity upon suits displaying mill
tary tendencies. In short, the dress
season is a glittering one.

A CHRISTMAS VISION

I happened by some chance to turn mine
eye
Out through window-wreath that hung

And as I glanced through 1t into the

I seemed to see. lit by some holy light,
A childish face with wistful, smiling lips
That thrilled me to my very finger-tips
Two eager hands stretched forth called.

To me to carry help to Helplessness.
And in the sad eyes of that child I saw
In all its loveliness the Christmas Law
Not command. no everlasting Must
Upon Reluctance for Its teaching thrust,
But just pleading hint to him who runs
That all who suffer are Gods Little Ones!
And then the picture in the wreath was
gone,
And in Its place the Eastern Star-beaans
shone-
The same that nineteen centuries ago
Led on the Wise Men with their heavenly
glow:
And cen as they I wandered through the
drifts
And into lowly places carried gifts.
To cheer. and give release. and pay my
Unto my Lord through them that suffer

Toye felt one himself as he picked
his way through st. James square.
If it had not been just after lunch, he
would have gone straight and had a
cocktail, for of course he knew the
only place for them. What he did was
to slue round out of the square, and
to obtain for the asking, at another
old haunt, on Cockspur street, the
latest little timetable of continental
trains. This he carried, not on foot
but in taxi, to the Savoy Hotel,
where it kept him busy in his own
room for the best part of another hour.
But by that time Hilton Toye looked
more than an hour older than on sit
