CAPE FOR THE SUMMER
Favorite Old Wrap Still Holds
MiIady'S Attention.
Garment That Has Been Worr
Through All Ages Is More Charm
ing Than Ever.

Women. have always loved capes,
and in all ages have they worn them
in the days when court ladies of the
empire covered the indiscretions of
their India muslins with bright grass
green capes, glitteringly embroidered
in golden garlands in other days when
the prim Colonial Priscilla hid the
soft whiteness of her kerchief under
a demure gray cashmere cape, as she
hurried by with downcast eyelashes; /;
and in far desert countries where
dark-eyed women, idling beside the
sweetmeat booths in the bazaars,
shrouded their dark beauty in the col
orful brilliance of their burnouses-
draped, silken capes. For every wom-
an knows the infinite grace and
glamor surrounding a cape and the
wearer of a cape.
The crepe capes Of today surpass
in their charm and variety all the
capes which have gone before them
and inspired them. We see them de-
| signed in every color, for every hour
of the day, for every variation or age,
complexion or occasion. There are
crepe capes of demure gray, collared
with squirrel or mole and matching
smart gray crepe town frocks; there
are mahogany-brown capes, en-
broidered in silver to add picturesque
ness to a mahogany restaurant frock ;
there are crepe capes of peach or

Luminous Gowns in London STYLES
Fabric That Does Not Merely Shine,
But Burns With White Light,
Is Latest.

Luminous dresses, iridescent hats
and glow-worm gauze stockings have
been aeroed to London from Paris and
are creating a sensation In ultra smart
society.
Metallic effects in shot silks and
changeable tissues have led to this
new craze and not a little impetus
has been given by the scientists who
have been exchanging data with the
fabric weavers and the dressmakers,
which data goes to prove that "sweet-
ness and light" are bound up with
bright clear colors, that happiness and
the genius of youth unfold In a
radiant, gold-flecked atmosphere.
A dress worn at theater supper dur
ing Grand National Race week was of
apricot charmeuse busted with pale
gold threads. In daylight this dress
seemed to be merely a particularly
happy blend of yellow and pink. But
with candlelight the silk glowed and
pulsated with living light which
seemed to radiate from 1t. This effect
is produced by phosphorescent
quality impaired to metallic threads
woven into the silk.
Luminous flowers and ribbon on
gauze hats are likely to be even more
popular than the radiant silk and are
much less expensive. For evening
wear they are distinctly becoming and
seem to add mystery and charm to the
face. Pale crushed silk roses or tiny
wreaths Of tight buds emit a soft
rosy glow in the half light. The stock
ings are woven of fine rainbow coloreC

CHAPTER FIvE-continued.


'The fish are very WISE" Judge
Crooker used to say. "They know the
truth about every one and it's well
that they do. After all, they perform
an important office. There's many
man and woman who think they've
beea fooling the fish, but they've only
fooled themselves"
And Within n day or two, the Sc
crets of the 'Bing family were SWIM
ming up and down the stream OF the
under-life of Bingville.
Mr.. Bing had found situation In
the plant which was new to him. The
men were discontented. Their wages
were 'sky HIGH" to quote a phrase OF
one Of the foremen. Still, they were
not satisfied. Reports Of the fabu-
lous earnings of the mill had spread
among them. They had begun to
think that they were mot getting a
fair division of the proceeds Of their
labor. At meeting of the help rad
ical speaker had declared that one of
the Bing women wore a moose Of pearls
on her neck worth half million dol
lars. The men wanted more pay and
less work. A committee of their lead
ers had called at Mr.. Bing's office with
a demand soon after his arrival. Mr..
Bing had said mo" with bang of his
fist on the table. A workers meeting
was to,be held a week later to act upon
h. - -,
Meanwhile, another cause Of worry
had come or rather returned to him.
Again, Phyllis had begun to show
symptoms of the old trouble. Mrs.
Bing, arriving at dusk from a market
trip to Hazelmead with SOphronia
Ames, had found Phyllis lying asleep
among the cushions on the great
couch in the latter's bedroom. She en-
tered the room softly and leaned over
the girl and looked into her face, now
turned toward the open window and
lighted by the fading glow in the west
ern sky and relaxed by sleep. 1t was
a sad face There were lines and
shadows in 1t which the anxious moth
er had not seen before and-had she
been crying? Very softly, the woman
sat down at the girls side. Darkness
fell, black, menacing shadows filed
the corners of the room. The spirit Of
the girl betrayed its trouble in a sor-
rowful groan as she slept. Roger De-
lane was coming next day. There was
every reason why Phyllis should be
happy. Silently, Mrs. Blng left the
room. She met Martha in the hall.
II shall want no dinner and Mr.. Bing
is dining In Hazelmead," she whis-
pered. Miss Phyllis is asleep. Don't
disturb her."
Then she sat down in the darkness
of her own bedroom alone.

Christmas would edge away when his
masters back was turned. In 1ifty,
he was out of sight and making with

woman's understanding of the great
need of dogs-a bone or doughnut

He had been sober for months. His

People had begun to respect him.

persisted in telling him that respect

The Kiss in Ancient Folklore

A story of Alexander the Great and
a kiss forms one of the most thrilling
bits of history. An enemy of the kings
invented novel plot to cause Alexan-
ders death. He discovered beautiful
young girl. who, like Rappacini's
daughter in Hawthorne's story, had
been brought up on deadly poison, and
every one who came near her was
killed by her deadly atmosphere. She
was sent to the kings palace with in
structions to do what would be called
"vamping" today. Alexander saw and
admired her eXtravagantly, but the
shrewd Aristotle \sUspected treachery,
Before he allowed the girl to approach
the throne he sent for a criminal who
had been sentenced to death, and in
structed him to kiss the girl in the
presence of the king. He fell dead
on the ground, like one struck by light
ming. - +.sea 49, 49,
The same story appears in folklore
of India, and the early Christian
monks made great use of 1t in their
sermons, personifying the Christian
as Alexander. conscience as Aristotle
sin as the venomous girl, and the weak
sinner as the criminal who was pun

One, of French blue, was drawn In

came to just below the knees-that is'

straight, and cut on the lines of a
rather close cape. A smaller cape
which came to the waistline, was EN-
broidered in a single thread of silver,
and close collar of gray squirrel COM
pleted the wrap.
Equally interesting was another wrap
of tomato red. which was cut on the
lines of the old-fashioned circular cape.
At intervals In the fabric was woven
wide double stripe of cream color,
which ran through the material just
above the knees. Just above the waist,

made up of twelve slightly twisted
strands. It is softer than fine sewing

better than that of the ordinary mend

strand is about right. 1t is also use

The New Hats.

The flower and fabric or braid hat,
featuring brim of flowers and crown of
silk or braid, is one of the popular fea-
lures of the season. For summer wear
the indications are that large hats will
be in high favor. This means. of
course, that flowers will be preferred
trimming. Long "sketchy' wreaths
of flowers that drape the crown and
hang streamer-like at one side are
much used, and there seems to be a
leaning to very large flowers, only one
or two of these mammoth blossoms be-
ing required to trim the entire hat.

Sheep shearine In Australia.

Shearers in Australia are paid by
the number of sheep they shear, but
the ranch helpers are paid by the
week. Averaging everything, from
young wethers, which are hard, to old
ewes, which are easy, a good man will
shear about 90 to 100 sheep a day.
The actual record is 327 sheep shorn

And other big records have been made.
But that was probably years back
