On Tuesday morning, March Z, IT'S,
Mr.. Robert Perreau walked into the
banking house of Drummond Brothers,
at Charing Cross. He was greeted
cordially by the bankers, for Mr.. Per
reau, although merely an apothecary,
was q Napoleon among apothecaries,
and was welcome guest at the houses
of the great. Within a week the bank
ers had seen him at Lord Egmont's
and Lady Lyttleton's. On the occasion
Mr.. Perreau was full of business.
Producing as security a bond for
$37 200, signed by William Adair,
whose signature would be honored at
any banking house, he asked for the
loan of $4,000.
The banking brothers scrutinized the
document closely, and Henry Drum
mond said: 1T doesn't look like the
signature Of Mr.. Adair."

the wrong part Of the room. The liv.
ing room of this little brick bungalow
is sure to be inviting at all times.
A colonnade and cased opening Is
built between the living room and the
dining room. The latter is pleasant
square room fitted with a buffet SET
into nook In the center wall Of the
building. A swinging door leads to the
kitchen, which Is special feature OF
this house. The outside wall Of the
kitchen has q bench built along Its
entire length with the sink placed dI.
rectly below the two windows. Two
cases are set into the corners at either
end of this bench. Across the room
is the cupboard In one corner and the
stove In the other. This kitchen is so
well arranged that no pantry is neces-
sary. The refrigerator is placed in
the rear entry where 1t is easily iced,
being only a step from the rear door.
A storage room is provided which is
entered from the rear entry. Stairs
into the basement also lead from this
room.
The other side Of the house contains
two bedrooms with bath between
them. Each bedroom has a large
closet and is lighted with two win
dows. In the passage between the bed
rooms is a linen closet. The bath
room is entered from this passage. The
bath is fitted out In accordance with
modern practice.
A large storage space is furnished
in the attic which is lighted through
narrow paneled windows. The base
ment may also be used to advantage
in furnishing a place for the various
articles which accumulate In every
house. The usual handy arrangement
Of basement rooms is furnished, sup
plying accommodations for the laun,
dry, furnace, coal storage and vege-
table storage. By the use Of proper
precautions In the construction of the
walls and floor, the basement may be
made dry, increasing its usefulness ma
terially.
A home Of this type is an invest
ment in pleasure end comfort which
win pay dividends during the life OF
its owner and still stand a welcome In
heritance to the younger generation

Ing In the usual way. The beading
carries the indispensable ribbon which
has come to stay and adds so much OF
charm to the lingerie of today.
Underneath the fiounces the bottom
Of the petticoat is finished with a plain
or scalloped ruffle or with lace inser-
tons and edgings. They are gathered
o-er tape at the waist. In finishing
the fiounce with lace the edge is cut In
scallops and turned under in a very
narrow hem which is stitched down
over the lace edging as shown in the
petticoat at the right. But where a
scalloped embroidery is used the seal
Tops are cut out, leaving little Of the
plain material to turn under. This edge
is then basted to the edge OF the
shaped fiounce and stitched down, after
which the flounce is trimmed away
from under the scallops.

The first Of the new ready-made
suits for fall are making their appear
ance before '''the trade" That is, mer-
chants throughout the country are
looking over the sample lines Of manu-
facturers. So far there is little change
In the lines of street suits from those
Of the passing season. Many Of the
new models show an increased length
of skirt, and coats also are somewhat
longer. The inspiration of many smart
models appears to come from the Rus
sian blouse-and this is matter for
gratitude.
In the conservative and beautifully
tailored suit shown above, model has
been evolved that is becoming to both
slender and stout figures. The coat
Is neatly adjusted over the shoulders
and vague in At about the waistline
with full and long peplum. A very
clever management Of the underarm
portion gives trim look to the fig
ure The sleeves are plain and long.
+ The skirt is plain with overlapped
seam at the front and plaits at each
side. II is strictly tailored with fault
less machine stitching as finish. In
harmony with It are the plain belt at
back and front Of the waistline and
the large bone buttons that fasten the
coat. Smaller buttons of the same
kind are set in a row Of four on each
cuff.
Serge is the favorite material for
fall suits although the other stand
ard weaves Of cloth are not neglect
ed. Except for the velvet turn
over on the collar It is the only fab
ric used In the suit shown. There is a
surmlse that skirts may be narrower

goat, they went to Bowstreet and
laid information against "the female
forger." This cowardly attempt to pro-
tect themselves at the expense Of the
woman who had rlsked everything to
save them, deprived them of. public
sympathy in the time to come, when
they needed it most. The judges toek
the measure Of Robert Perreau, and
sent him as we'll as the woman to
prison. The next day Daniel Perreau
followed them. This Daniel was a
great fop, who cut wide swath among
the macarOnls. He and Robert were
twins, and greatly resembled each 9TH
er In appearance, but Robert was a
keen business man, a money maker,
while Daniel was a wastrel. Both
brothers were specializing in Exchange
alley, and II was this that led them to
forgery.
The story Of what followed In the
courts is too complicated to be de-
tailed in brief narrative. Mrs. Rudd,
who had been the ally Of the brothers,
was Infatuated by their treachery, and
became their bltterest enemy. She tes-
titled that she did sign the bond, as she
had confessed, but did 1t In fear Of her
life, Daniel standing over her with an
open knife until 1t was done. She had
committed other forgeries under SINH
lar conditions. These other forgeries
began to turn up, and they totaled an
enormous sum.
The public interest In the Perreau
case was so great for year that even
the rebellion Of the American colonies
attracted comparatively little atten-
ton. The newspapers were full Of the
case, and every man who could charter
printing press was busy issuing
broadsides. A certain Admiral Frank
land, known as "Old Shiver-Me-Tim-
bers," used up gallons Of ink assaillng
Mrs. Rudd, and thereby created SYM
patty for her, which was the very
thing he didn't want to do. And Mrs.
Rudd had her champions among the
great writer's of the time.
In the course of time the Perreau
brothers were brought to trial, and
their guilt was so evident to the jury,
when all the testimony was in, that
they were convicted without the waste
of moment, and sentenced to death,
Many neoDle believed then, and many
argue even at this late day, that the
brothers were the dupes of the design
ing Mrs. Rudd, but this theory didn't
appeal to the court.
Being convicted and sentenced, the
Perreaus were sent back to Jail to
await the outcome of the trial Of Mrs.
Rudd. The fact that she was brought
to trial at all was the occasion Of much

manent material when once they have
tried the long-lived construction.
A five-rOom bungalow which has
many distinctive features in addition
to its permanency is illustrated here.
The white trim of the woodwork fur
nlshed good contrast to the brick
and it's maintenance will require the
expenditure Of very little money and
energy. The peculiar method of porch
roof support adds a note of distinction
to the front Of the house which is
carried out to greater degree by the
exceptional expanse Of wall taken up
by windows. The porch has a low
rail around 1t except at the corners,
where solid brick columns run higher
up to receive the wooden columns and
braces of the roof support. The con-
crete floor of the porch is drained
through two unique little arched open
ings on either side of the steps. The
broad expanse Of roof is broken by a
low dormer placed in the center with
three paneled windows running near
ly across the front of 1t.
The arrangement of rooms is very
convenient and great many special
devices are employed to make the
home as cozy and inviting as possible.
A very useful little reception hall is
entered from the front porch. This
hall has q seat built into the end to
the left Of the door. At one end of
this seat closet is provided for wraps.
A large window at the other end of
the seat allows plenty Of light to en-
ter. A cased opening leads into a
hallway which is really part of the
living room.
One end Of the living room is taken
up across its entire length by a mass

II Perreau's heart sank into his boots
at this proposition he made no sign.
He seemed quite willing, and an
nounced that his coach was at the door.
So he and the Drummond brothers
climbed aboard and drove to the resi-
dence of Adair, the rich army agent.
Arrived there, the Drummonds explain
ed the business to Adair. who de-
nounced the bond as a forgery the min
ute he set eyes upon it.
The Drummonds turned to Perreau
and sternly asked him how he came
into possession of the bond. By this
time the apothecary was uneasy, and a
cold sweat was on his forehead. "Send
for my sister-ln-law," he stammered,
"and she viii explain"
The sister-in-law, known to society
as Mrs. Daniel Perreau, was sent for
aRd soon arrived, dazzlingly beauti-
full creature. Although known through
out the town as the wife of Daniel,
there never had been q marriage, and
her true name was Caroline Rudd.
The writer's Of the period describe her
as the prettiest, wittiest and most cap
tivating woman In London. She must
have been charming, so many good
judges OF beauty praised her. but the
numerous pictures Of her still in exist
ence are disappointing to those who
have read the ecstatic descriptions.
Ushered into the Adair residence. the
situation was explained to her, and she
realized its gravity at once.

bankers didn't think that probable, or
even possible, whereupon she asked for

bond. BY this time Daniel Pcrreau had
arrived, and also a constable, who had
been sent for by the bankers. But the
constable was sent away. Mrs. Rudd
made such an impression upon the
Drummonds that they consented TO for
get the whole occurrence. and the Per
reaus, with the woman who had saved
them. drove away.

difficulties. But there were other for

above need not concern itself In the
matter.
There are slips Of satin and taffeta-
both washable-to be worn under the
sheer frocks that form 30 important
part Of the midsummer wardrobe. But
many women prefer slips or petticoats
OF muslin, that are exqulsitely clean
and fresh-looking with each return
from the laundry. They are thin enough
TO be cool and thick enough TO provide
sufficient covering. Sometimes a plain
petticoat or slip OF net Is worn over
them, II the frock Is sheer enough to be
transparent. This is merely BY way OF
making an airy background for lingerie
or other gauzy dresses.
The newest petticoats are cut mod
erately wide In three or four cores
shaped so that there will be little full
ness about the waist. They are TN
ished with fiounces not too much
trimmed with embroidery or lace. In

were hurried. Daniel and Robert en-
