APPLIQUE IS EVER POPULAR
Method of Applying the Decoration to Obtain the Most Pleasing
 t5z Results. ,E ss..

- Applique continues to be as popular and as. effective method of exterior decoration as ever. There's an inter esting new wrinkle to the latest phase of it that you will want to know about.
 Usually the applied motifs are put on flat; unusually they are pinch tucked into position. which gives them the altogether effective look of relief work. For instance, there is the morn ing glory. It is cut generously large to begin with so as to allow for the pinch-tucks radiating from its center. And that very fetching idea isn't Him. ited to morning glories, by any means. There is many flower that is more realistic for this extra bit of hand work.
 Leaves, too, are given more artistic prominence for a bit of tucking along their veins, and when the tucking is treated to some decorative stitching it becomes even more charming.

CHAPTER XI.
Under the Mountains.

The dog was standing on a rock at the base of the hill immediately before me--and calling. I almost thought that it was calling me.
 took few steps toward it, and it disappeared immediately, as though nlarmed-apparently into the heart of the mountain. .a.+..&' -..-
 When reached the spot where it had been it was nowhere to be seen. And the pad-prints ran toward a tiny hole no bigger than the entrance to fox's lair-and ended there. < At this spot an enormous powder lay, almost concealing the burrow. put my shoulder against it-in the hope of dislodging it sufficiently to en- able me to see into the cavity. To my astOnishment, at the first touch it rolled into new position, disclosing a wide natural tunnel in the mountain side, through which a sleigh might have passed easily!
 saw at once the explanation. The powder was rocking stone. It must have fallen at some time from the top of the arch, and happened to be so poised that at a touch it could be swung into one of two positions, alternately disclosing and concealing the tunnel iii the cliff wall.
 I stepped within, and, striking a match, perceived that I was standing inside vast caye-a vaulted chamber that ran apparently straight into the heart of the mountains.
 The interior was completely dark At intervals I struck matches from the box which had brought with me, but the road always ran clear and straight ahead, Hnd I could even guide myself by the ruts in the ground.
 I advanced cautiously until the light grew quite bright: saw the tunnel end in front Of me, and emerged into an open space 'n the heart of the hills.
 1 glanced at my watch. It seemed that had been travelling for an inter- minable time, but it was barely eleven o'clock. I felt drowsy. and somehow, before I was aware of any fatigue, was asleep.
 It was three o'clock when I awoke, and at first, as always since my jour ney began. 1 could not remember

where was. And, as always, 1t was the thought of Jacqueline that recalled me to my surroundings.
 sprang to my feet and made nasty preparations to resume my journey.
 In the first cave that I explored found stock of provisions-four and canned meats and Tnatches-snugly stored away safe from the damp and snow. Near by were picks and shov- els and three very reputable blankets, with miscellany of materials sugges- tive of the camping party's outfit. " might have been more surprised than l was, but my thoughts were all centered on Jacqueline, and the wan ing of the light showed me that the sun must be well down in the sky. I must go on at once if I were to reach the chateau that night.
 As proceeded kept looking to the left to endeavOr to locate the narrow passage into which had strayed, but it must have been the merest opening in the wall, so small that only mir. aele of chance had led me into it, for I saw nothing but the straight passage before me. {
 Presently began to hear a murmut of water in the distance and then a faint flicker of light. -z
 The thunder of the cataracts filled my ears. A fine spray, like garment Of filmy silk, obscured my clearef

DAINTY FUR WRAPS:
Ermine and Coney the Popular
 Summer Fashion.
Every Ounce of Weight Has Been Eliminated by the Manufacturers
 in the SeasonabIe Apparel.

About this season the gay little ermine begins to change his snow white coat for a darker one that will exactly match the bare rocks upon which he disports. For him spotless white ermine is out of fashion tenn porarily but it is ermine all the year round-the whitest of white ermine- for Dame Fashion! She cares little for the brownish hue of summer ermine-the color that the little anil nal selects to match his rock back ground-and most of the dainty little wraps for summer wear have narrow facings of ermine at the neck line. A few of them are all ermine; but these, of course, are the very expensive mod els.
 White coney is humble first cousin of the ernine, which has managed to obtain a place in high society. It is not always easy to tell genuine white ermine from the soft and really beau tiful white coney, though the latter fur is much cheaper to buy. Some times ernline and coney are blended in the same wrap and usually a sprfnkling of black ermine} tails is enough to convey the all-ermine sug- gestion to an average observer.
 And, after all, what does it matter, so long as wrap is really attractive and smart? Solid worth in dollars is not the measure of merit in a summer fur garment as 1t is in a winter one !; grace, daintiness, modishness are the chief requirements of Madame Mode and fur that is good enough to pass muster and not suggest actual cheap ness. e~ y-- s ...l =~y.s <. .s.5 +
 The, Paris frenzy for short sleeves. which is actually such an obession just now that in Paris long sleeve is conspicuous, has brought the ques- tiOn of summer fur wraps into fresh interest. Even chiffon sleeve is warmer than no sleeve at all.
 Very comfortable, at such times, to cuddIe into a fur wrap, even though the date be mid-July but the fur wrap must be feather-light and not burden some to carry about The wrap build CTS have seen to this: the little. fur pelisses and capelets for summer time are=the daiatiest affaigs imaginable. The beautifully dressed skins. soft and supple as silk, are lined with chiffon or with silk mouseline, or very soft. lightweight satin, and summer fur wraps dispense with quantities of dangling tails and animal heads-or , in fact anything that could add an ex- tra ounce of weight.
 When not actually in use they must ,)e carried on the armand a heavy fur wrap on a warm day would be an abomination to carry about. But a little capelet of mole or errnine lined with shirred chiffon is very different.

CHAPTER x-continued.

I'M. Duchaine has been recluse for many years" he said, "and of late his mind has become affected. It is said that he was implicated in the troubles of 1867, and that, fearing arrest, he fled here and built this chateau in this desOlate region, where he would be safe from pursuit.

NOVELTIES IN SUMMER HATS
Fine Straw Regarded as an Excellent Selection as It Can Be Made
 Over Many Times. f8f TT

If you are going to have several hats this season, by all means choose one that is of rather fine straw, and has medium high crown and a medium wide brim. Buying such hat is real hat economy, for such a chapeau can be used oyer and over again for sew eral seasons, because a large hat is al- ways good style every midsummer, anyway, and a conservative brim and crown make the hat, if becoming in color and smartly trimmed, in good taste any year.
 4 pretty brunette who selected a hat of this type four years ago is still wearing it and having it admired, be- cause 1t has been so easy to make chic each season. Her hat was orig fnaIly light gray hemp with plain crown and brim. and was trimmed the first year with a three-inch band of black velvet around the base of the crown, and a gay wreath of field flow CTS, such as scarlet poppies, daisies and buttercups. on the brim. The next year the same hat was faced with pink crepe de chine on the under brim, and dainty wreath of blue forget me-nots and tiny pink rose buds. was the trimming which gavesft delicate pastel effect that made it a thing Of beauty to wear with an oyster-colored silk suit The third season it was colored a soft leaf green with hat dye (of which there areshalf a dozen good kinds), the pink facing freshly pink ened with dye also, and the trimming consisted of a band of darker green velvet around the crown. which was embroidered in coarse stitches with silk in shadow lawn green, purple and touch of magenta. and it received the most compliments of all this third year. zes &.s@s.. This year this clever home milliner is going to dye her durable hat dark, but rather bright blue. It will have the same pink undertaking, and the trimming will consist of very wide dark blue satin ribbon with a Roman stripe or two in pink, that will be draped1 loosely. sash fashion, around the brim of the hat and fringed at the ends, which will droep from the left side of the brim. The hat will be worn with a blue sport suit and fesh-colored blouse.

Neckwear for Summer.

Manufacturers of women's neckwear are busy adding new ideas for summer selling. Novelty waistcoat guimpes in organdie, net or lace have the major share of representation. Very narrow, dainty collars with matching cuffs, de signed especially for wear with the oval neckline, are also regarded as promising. Filling-in ol ders in veilings indicate that many types are included in the current demand. Fancy combi- nation meshes, all-over chenille dots and various new drape veils are fa- vored
