"And who is this?" I asked as a
tall, elegant looking woman entered
the main door of the studio. us it
possible Marianne exclaiming, that
you don't know Mrs Grant Wells, the
wife of the multi millionaire ship
builder-the leader of the downtown
smart set?''
''Of course!" I answered. EFT was
stupid of me not to have recognized
her from her picture in the news
papers. Madame must love to design
clothes for her. She has a perfect
carriage. What is she having made %
'Blouses; they are a hobby with
her. She can never find anything
ready-made that suits her."
Then Madame appeared, followed
by Miss Morgan, the waist filter, who
had three or four blouses tucked I'M
der one arm.
The three went into the fitting room
and L followed curious to see the
blouses Madame had designed for a
woman who could find nothing to
please her fancy in the shops.
The first blouse they tried on was
of beige crepe Georgette. 1t was
semi tailored in design, and was
daintily hand-tucked across the front
The cuffs and collar were edged with
1ilet lace, and above was a narrow
border of drawn work. They GRO
cheted buttons trimmed the front.
Did you ever see drawn work more
exquisitely done?" asked Madame.
EVERY bit of the fine needle work on
your blouses was done by two Belgian
women who are now a part of my
studio family"
When Mrs. Wells had taken off the
blouse I examined the drawn work It
was almost fairy-1ike in its delicacy.
1 never saw such complicated articles
or such an effective design.
A blouse of finest handkerchief
linen was the next. It was relieved
by touches of old-blue trimming.
Rows of Misunderstanding, in blue, re-
lieved the plainness of the front, and
tiny blue buttons were used in fasten
the blouse. Turned-back cuffs of blue
linen trimmed the tightly fitted wrist
bands of the bishop sleeves, and a
collar of the same effective material
finished the neckline. This blouse
| also. was of the tailored type.
ct followed your suggestion and de-
| signed one blouse with high collar
I hope you will like it, said Madame
as Miss Morgan helped Mrs. Wells
into the third blouse.
This was a strictly tailored model
made of soft, ivory-white satin OF
| heavy quality. The front was gather
ed softly to a shallow yoke and be-
| comingly bloused above the waistline
! A vestee of the satin outlined with a
| narrow border of handwriting orna-
| mented the front. Small bullet but.
tons of satin were placed in groups OF
| three each down the entire length Of
| the front.

FAMOUS WOMAN
ENDED REIGN OF
STUkRTS

To a girl infant born at Twicken-
ham, near London, 154 years ago to-
day, the second daughter of James II,
then Duke of York, was destined to
fail the lot of bringing to an end the
long reign of the royal House of
Stuart. Married to Prince George of
Denmark when she was 10, Anne as
cended the throne of Great Britain
when she was So. Weak in charac-
ter, she was governed first by MARI
borough and his wife, and afterward
by Mrs. Masham. Although she gave
birth to 13 children, not one survived
to claim the throne on her death in
1714. AS a result the British crown
passed to the Elector of the German
State of Hanover, who thus became
George I. of Great Britain, and
founded the present dynasty.

NESTS OF TABLES.

Some good values have been offer
ed, during holiday season, in nests
of tables, and it is safe to assume that
some of these tables are left over in
stock at the holiday prices. In the
nest there are four slender-legged
mahogany ta-bles-or table skins, as
one woman whimsically calls them
and they are most convenient itt1a
affairs for any home, particularly IN
an apartment where massive furni-
ture takes up valuable space. The
largest of the four tables is admirable
for cards, and even the second and
third size may be pressed into ser

10 The picturesque city Of Messina
yas the home of Camiola Turinga,
famous as one of the ''Illustrious
Women" of Baccacelo. She was not
Nlly noted for her marvellous beauty
and her goodness, but was extremely
rich and a member of a great and no
BILE family.
Lady Camiola's hand was sought in
marriage by many worthy suitors but
her compassionate heart was touched
by the sorrows of Orlando, the young
and handsome prince of Aragon, who
was prisoner in a Neapolitan castle.
Against the commands of his brother,
King Peter of Sicily, this hot-headed
Prince had engaged the Neapolitan
fleet in battle. Besides losing his
ships he was captured and held for
ransom in the deepest dungeon of the
fortress-castle. King Peter, in his
anger, refused to pay the ransom.
Month after month passed, but Orian-
do still remained a captive.
After exhausting every other means
of procuring his liberty, Camiola, as
a last resort, sent a messenger to the
imprisoned prince Offering to pay his
ransom, If in return he would agree
to marry her when he had regained
his freedom.
Orlando, oyerjoyed at the prospect
of procuring his liberty, willingly
signed the marriage contract. Camiola
Immediately sent the large amount of
gold required in exchange for the
royal prisoner.
Then the Prince of Aragon return
ed to Messina and refused to marry
Camiola Turinga. He treated her
with arrogant contempt, declaring
that she was not of royal blood" and
therefore not his equal.
The Lady Camiola appealed to King
Peter, who decided that Orlando
should marry the lovely woman who
had had compassion upon him in his
distress. By the law of the land, the
King declared.
Orlando belonged to Camiola Turin

STRIKERS AS SPIES
ADVICE OF DUGMORE

Drastic measures for the suppress

gagged on government contracts were
advocated by Capt. A. Radcliffe Dug
more, of the Kings Own, Light York
shire Infantry, in an address delivered
before the members of the Algonquin
club last night. Capt. Dugmore urged
the speeding up of every preparation
and industry decrying the impression
that the war is to end soon. In re-
gard to strikes he said the working
man employed on government con-
tract should be treated as traitor in
case of a strike, and should be court
martialed and shot. He also told
some stories of the atrocities COM
mitted by the Germans in Belgium
and other theatres of the war.
