admitted heartily. '@The men will I'M
derstand what that means-a handful
of gold for each of them and a run
ashore. Why, LeVere, they will make
more apiece than by looting half
dozen ships, and with no fighting. 1t
will be fortune for you and me-"
His somber eyes lighted up, startled
by this new idea, and he sprang to
his feet.
"You mean that, senior! We divide
what is below and sail for Porto
Grande? hear you right? You not
mean surrender? You stay pirate?"
l laughed, my nerves tingling to the
success of my ruse-he had taken the
tempting bait like hungry fish.
"Why, of course. I am not such a
fool as to throw away this chance.
This is our chance, LeVere. If we put
the Namur into Porto Grande, with
Sanchez on board and alive, and those
hellhounds locked below, we'll get any
thing we ask for. Well be the cocks
of the walk. If he shouldn't live
through, why then we'll have ship,
and can run the game alone. Either
way, if we win, the prize is ours-and
if we stick together we win"
My apparent enthusiasm caught the
fellow. I could read the working of
his mind in his face. This new view
of the situation promised wealth,
power, the total defeat of Estevan;
everything he most desired.
"You think Senior Sanchez live?"
"What difference? If he lives he
owes his life to us. If he dies the bark
is in our hands, and the treasure.
Once we have won we care nothing
if he live or die. Are we together in
this?"
He thrust out lean yellow hand,
and I gripped it.

"You pledge your word, Francois?"

In certain lines of women's apparel
America has become Independent of
other countries in the production of
styles and materials. In some things
we are conceded to excel, as in the
designing and making of tailored
suits and shoes. We have been driven
to depend upon ourselves in produc-
ing the bulk of the readymade under
wear worn by women whose demands
are peculiarly American.
The proportion of undergarments
made of washable silks grows larger,
and crepe de chine gains on fine cot
ton materials every day. There are
several very good reasons for this,
but the main one Is the Unborn love
Of luxurious clothes, especially in
the matter of undergarments, which is
rooted in the eternal feminine nature.
Hand stitching is the hallmark of
elegance on undermuslins, so that
women who know how to sew for them
selves have great advantage over
those who do not. But there is not
much hand sewing or hand embroidery
on manufactured underwear, which,

AS mothers become buster, or less in
clined to spend time in sewing, in or
der to give 1t to other affairs, they
have learned to look to the specialist
to help them out with frocks and other
clothes for children. And manufac
turers have met the growing demand
for ready-made or partly-made clothes,
by turning out examples of good de-
signing, in practical materials, that
the most gifted amateur cannot hope
to excel. Even those mothers who
prefer to have the children's clothes
made at home, look to the display Of
children's frocks made in the shops for
models to guide them. Wraps they
nearly always buy ready made.
Since the school girl must be out
fitted by the time September appears
over times horizon, dresses and wraps
for her make their entry in July.
These forerunners of fall styles this
year show that the neat effects
that were featured in spring have
come to stay a while, all because they
were so heartily welcomed. They
mark an advance in taste and are use
full in educating the little girls them
selves to like neatness. A fine sense
of clothes is sometimes Unborn, but
oftener 1t is acquired unconseiously by

nevertheless, contrives to be very
dainty. The manufacturer who turned
out the two envelope chemises shown
here will not dread comparison be
tween them and their handmade coun-
terparts. They are just as effective and
just as durable. 1t is in little details OF
finish that the handmade garment gets
beyond the limitations of machinery
and cannot be exactly copied. The
chemise at the left is of white silk with
a crossbar OF green. There is yoke
of plain silk, also border about the
bottom and bands over the shoulders
made of it. Bows of narrow ribbon
with their hanging ends finished with
soft silk balls make fascinating and
original finishing touches.
The lovely garment at the right is
made of pale blue satin with heavy
silk embroidery and real fillet lace to
enrich it. The empire waistline makes
it graceful. This is gathered In with
satin ribbon tied in bow with long
loops and ends. The same models are
not less beautiful or less elegant when
made of fine cotton fabrics.

When William Niblo opened his new
theater at Broadway and Prince
street, back on Independence day,
1928, he celebrated the double occa-
sion by a patriotic display of gas
lights which Haunted the name Of
"Niblo" far and wide and immortal

An admiring public gasped from re-
spectful distance, watching the red,

rows of gas jets spelling the propri-
etor's name.
Gas had been used for the first time
in New York city five years before.

cocktails, the tomato being the espe-
cial favorite.
In preparing fruits for cocktails
two things should be remembered:
The fruit should stand in strip or
sprinkled with sugar to be well sweet
ened. To prepare the strip use twice
as much sugar as water and cook it
until thoroughly dissolved.
The entire menu should be consid-
cred when serving a fruit cocktail, as
other fruits do not appear at the same
meal. If a vegetable cocktail (put to-
gether with some sort of salad dress
ing) is served, the salad is omitted
for that meal.
One of the most attractive cocktails
may be made by using watermelon or
muskmelon for the foundation. Cut
the melon with a French potato cutter
into small balls and cover with a GIN
ger sirup, using the Canton ginger and
canteloupe. For watermelon the
dainty color makes a most effective
dish; use the heart of the melon for
balls and simple, lightly favored strip
of sugar water and lemon juice. 1t is
unwise to add a strip too highly fla
vored, for the fruit flavor itself should
be first.
A pineapple and raspberry combina-
ton Is very good. Cut the pineapple
with small potato cutter and let the
fruits stand in strip uncombined for
three hours, then chill them together
one hour.
Equal parts of sliced peaches and
stoned cherries marinated in sugar
strip and garnished with frosted
mint. Dip sprig of mint in egg white
then in sugar, having the mint well
chilled.
Twice as much diced peach as very
ripe blackberries. treated with the
strip and favored with little lemon
and orange juice.
Vegetable cocktails may be made of
various combinations, but those most
suitable are:
Two tablespoonfuls of minced toma-
to-. one of minced celery, one table
spoonful of aspic jelly cut in bits, half
a teaspoonful of chives, three drops of
tobasco sauce, French dressing and
mayonnaise to moisten.
