necks have been launched with great success s among the new spring styles rms model has the front and back cut Tn one, the back being Tapped in sur phce style. Gathered to the upper part Of the gown is a two-piece skirt with deep hem at the lower edge.
 To make the gown in medium size requires 4 yards 36-inch mater;o5 with Z yards of narrow ribbon. 31s yards of wide ribbon, wards of in. sertIon and yards of edging.

 MEIER WON FAIR LADY

H. $. writes "I am young man eighteen years of age and am desper- ately in love with young lady one year my junior.

I had the pleasure of be- ing introduced to this young lady about six months ago. have good hab- it's, do not indulge iii drinking or smoking. When my daily Iabors rae completed I generally go out into the street and talk with some of my frnends for about one hour and then go home and read the newspapers disposition to treat my friends in the and books It has always been my best way I can. The young lady whom I admire is being paid attention to by a young man who snubs all kinds of work and is an a1l-round dissipator.

WORTH WAITING FOR

Miss N. writes: T have been keep ing company with a young nan for about two years and half, being en- gagged to him for the last six months of that time. Now my mother wishes me to break the gagement-which will not do-saying he is not my mate and that he comesl to the house so often he has worn out her patience He comes four or five evenings week When he takes me out for an evenings entertainment, I am obliged to leave before it is over because my parents have set their feet down that I must be in the house by 10 o'clock. Is there any law by which parents can break an engagement, he being twen- ty-three and I nineteen? He is as true as steel to me and is industrious
 We would have been married six months ago, but my mother would not allow him to take me one hour before am twenty. For this he is patient ly waiting. Kindly advise we what to do"
 While you are beneath your parents roof try to be congenial and happy that their. last remembrance of the child they are so soon to resign to an- OLItc1 hCSplllS may DS tCIIuSI dIlu hallowed. Adhere to their wisdom about coming in by ten o'clock. Af- ter marriage your husband can keep you out far into the wee sam hours without causing your parents worry. Conquer their growing prejudice for your fiance by love. Conciliate them. Love will win them over-anger and contention, never. Wait patiently as you have done for another year: it will not be long in slipping by. By the time the wedding day draws nigh your parents will be resigned to lose a daughter and rejoice that they are gaining a good son. =

"Better see this pardon delegation now. governor. That other matter is going to go to the deuce as fast as it can if we don't scotch 1t. Robert, get those letters on your desk into United States as quickly as possible. That French deluge is upon us. Come back as soon as you can." With which was dismissed into my own small an- teroom.
 And what did I find ip those letters
 As I sat and held in my hand those papers, in which were two long mes sages, the one written in very poor English and the other in a very elegant French, the woman Roberta, marquise of Greg and Bye, trembled with fear of discovery of herwoman's estate, while that daredevil Robert Carruthers ragged within and also turned with a deadly hatred and distrust of the greatest gen. tleman that le. pon Dieu had ever given to him to know. 1t was as I say and for this reason: In the letters were an nouncements of the arrival of the Lieu tenant Count Edouard de Bourbon on that Tuesday which the Madam Whit worth had mentioned. They were writ ten with great ceremony to my uncle, the General Robert Carruthers, as sec retary of the state of Harpeth, to give to him that informa ton to be conveyed to his excellency the Gouverneur Faulkner. in due form, though he al- ready had that information.
 They make into a fool my revered uncle, the General Robert Carruthers, who would keep his state and the gouverneur of that state from dishon- or!" exclaimed to myself in my rage. "And this woman thinks to play with the life of French soldiers as she has with that same Gouverneur Faulkner, does she? No; there Is Roberta, mar quise of Greg and Bye, who is sol dier of her republique by appointment from the great capitaine, the Count de Lasselles, to both watch and further the interests of France, whom she must meet in combat f1rst!'
 And as said these words to myself I made a rapid writing of both papers and with them asked admittance to

Grandmamma.
 ready that wicked Madam Whitworth entertains suspicious of you. What Is it that you will doT"
 And after I had asked myself for a second time that question sat and looked into the eyes of that Grand mamma, Carruthers for many long mo- ments and had all argument with my self Then I answered to her as I rose to my feet so that my eyes came more nearly on a level with hers:
 "No, Madam Ancestress, born of her whom not an Indian or a fierce lear could frighten away from her duty of protection to those of her affectiops, I will not flee. will stay here by the side of my uncle, the General Robert, and my great chief, that Gouverneur Faulkner, to fight for their honor and to protect France from robbery. Then, if be discovered and can do no more for them, will go from their pres ence quickly in the night and be lost in the trenches of France before I am detained. And, if it be that I am not discovered before all is made we'll con- corning those mules for transportation of food to the soldiers of France, then will stiN go away to the battlef1elds of France before it is discovered by all who have given affection to Robert Carruthers that he is allie. I will leave love for me and for France in all of these kind hearts, which will comfort me when I fight for the re- publique or live for her during long years. I gricve exceedingly, but go"
 I feel a certainty that if I should continue to be an American man for all of the days I may live, to that threescore and ten age, would never be able to gain in any way even a small portion of what my fine MT. Buzz Clendenning calls, hustle" went at his side for the three days which intervened between the news of the arrival of that Lieutenant Count de Bourbon and that actual arrival, in what seemed to me to be the pace of a very fleet horse or even as the flight of a bird. And as fast as we went from the arrangement of one detail of entertainment to another the beautiful Madam Whitworth went with us, with her eyes of the flower blue very bright with a great excitement I was glad that in all matters it was necessary that my fine Buzz also consult with her, and thus was not exposed to any of her wickedness alone.
 And in my own heart was also great excitement, for it seemed to me that was fighting great battle for France all alone. All day could see that that Mr. Jefferson Whitworth and the other men of wealth who with him were seeking to be robbers to my country were first in consolidation with themselves and then with my uncle, the General Robert, and also tho Gouverneur Faulkner. Would their powerful v;ickedness prevail and be able to force signing of that paper on the gouverneur? Was that in their power? l asked myself, and in my igno- rance I did not Know an a.twer and had no person to demand one from. There was no ease of heart to me when the days went by, and wal so at work with my Buzz that hsd no time for words from my Gouve-neur Faulkner or glance from those eyer of the dawn star I could only murmur to myself:

 That's nothing but yellow flower ing weed" - "It grows all o'er the island wild," said lie;
 ''There are plenty in my field; root 'em out. But for my life, it puzzles me to see What you make such a wonderment < about" The good man turned and to his sup per went,
 While kneeling on the grass with mute delight, o whispered words, around the plant we knelt,
 To watch the opening buds that love the night. Slowly the rosy dusk of eve departed, And one by one the pale stars bloomed Ion high; And one by one each folded calyx started And barred it's golden petals to the sky. One throb from star to flower seemed pulsing through The night-one living Spirit, blend ing all In beauty and in mystery ever new One harmony divine through great and small Christopher Cranch

CHAPTER XII.


 A ND so the time passed until the n morning upon which the same A railroad train which had
 brought young Robert Car. ruthers down into the valley home of his forefathers, arrived with yet an. other son of France and his secretaries and servants. All were ill attendance at the station of arrival, from the sec. retary of state, the General Carruth. CTS, who in his large car was to take the Count de Bourdon to the gouver- neurs mansion for immediate introduc. ton, down to good Cato in very new gray coat and a quite sniuy black fs. I heard the great railway train ap preaching, which was perhaps to bring me my Gishonor, and I drew those tears back into my heart and stepped forward to the steps of the car. from which I could see a very slight and short but very distinguished looking Frenchman about to descend.
 Il thank the good God have never before encountered him. I said in my heart as I stood in front of him.
