“Yes, and periectlV make my
eves ard heal ache. It’s
proyok.ng of vour brother to go and
get sick just while we’re on onr
honeymoon. Ho should have more
consideration. P.aloh, there’s the
carriage; yen’ll make the horses
hnrrv, dear, won’t von? Oh-- an3
the poor little bride was alone, with
the prospect of a lonelv afternoon to
herself, which prospect, in a large
hotel in a eitv where one doesn’t know
a soul, and when one is a bride on
one » honeymoon, is cot ovi an enviaole
one, as any unbiased oerson wiH
mit. The* bride of three weeks sat
down in a hooeiess sort of wav on the
broad veranda overlooking the hotel
grounds. She wearily turned over
tne list of guests, which an attentive
waiter had put into her hand, without
the least sign of interest in its con-
tents. Suddenly * an exclamation es-
caped her. :
"Mr. and Mrs, Clifford Dnnnels !’’
she said ‘hi half aloud "Mrs Dnn-
Dels! that is the reason of bis
silence, and here I’ve been torment- !
mg m,-self about him-pietoring hit
grief at mv fickleness, his ancer, his
despair— odIv to find him married, in !
the same hotel in which I am spending
mv bonevmoou. Ob. Cliff, what l
goose I've been to spoil mv new hap- ;
piness bv know'n worrying over yon! "affection ‘j ;
might “light have that the
of gray eves and fair hair
wouldn’t stand ihi test of two veers’ j
absence from the beloved object," any h
more than-than a schoolgirl of sev :
enteen knows when she is reallv in
love. What fun it will be to meet i
him ! Some confusion on both sides
—mutual congratulations—‘Allow me
to present my wife’—‘Mr. Dnnnels, .
my husband’—periectlv glorious ! Oh,
I can see it all!” And leaning back
in her chair, Edith shut her eves as if
to enjoy the scene in her mind’s eve. ;
"When she opened them again, the :
look of amused enjovment gave place
to one of surprise, for a few paces !
away from her, leisurely smoking a ,
cigar, stood unmistakably the man of !
her thoughts. She started up. Turn- i
ing at the sound, the object ot ber
gaze beheld the girl whom of all per- \
sons on earth he was least anxious to
see. Edith stepped towards him with i
outstretched hands.
“Whv, Clifford Dunnels !”
“Miss Noble!”
While on her face was a look of
pleasure, and a gleam of mischief, too,
on his was expressed amazement min-
gled with embarrassment. Her quick
eye and ear took in the situation at
once.
“I’ve one on vou, dear old chum !”
was her mental ejaculation. “I know
your little secret, and mine is safe—
until Kalph comes back.” Mr. Dun-
nels, hai-tily throwing hand/ awav his cigar, ! >
took her proffered while the
embarrassment she his hands deepened soft on his face j j
as gave a pressure,
and said with a well feigned little
accent of tenderness, “Oh, Ciifi, I ,
cannot tell you how glad I am to see
* w
jou!”
“Whv, Edith, who in the world
would nave thought of seeing you
here !” he *
managed ° to exclaim.
“Ditto, sir ; I’m overcome with
astonishment. But I’m periectlv de- I
lighted afternoon*. to see you, too. I’m all alone
this My guardian angel” I
— (“if he wants it’s* ? to think I mean inv
chaperon, not mv fault,” sh'e
whispered to her conscience^ —“had *
to go and see a sick brother, and I *
didn’t know what I could do to pass
the time. But now that fate has =0
kindly sent vou in my way, vou must,
you positively must amuse me. And ■
to think I haven’t seen vou for three
whole vears! I’ve so much to tell vou
and ask you that it will take honr^!
And these beautiful grounds have jnst
the loveliest places, where we can be
all to ourselves. Do vou see that
lar-e linden? Let’s go there.”
Dnnnels helplessly loHo*«d the
pretty tyrant, with a retnorsefal
thought of his bride left alone up j
stairs with a blinding headache. Re
turned to his companion with an ex-
case at the end of bis tongue, but now
she was tripping ahead with the airy
grace of a nymph, and crying gaily,
“Hurry, Cliff! Do come and look!
Here are some of the dearest little
ducks. See, aren’t they cunning?”
Her clear silvery laugh rang out
with the musical ring he remembered !
so well, when the girl before him was j
a budding woman of seventeen, and j
he a slender youth of twenty, her de-
voted slave. The excuse died on his
lips, and he joined in her laugh, as the
mother duck, with angry, startled
quacks, led her seminary of downy
ducklings away to the pond, gleaming
silver blue through the trees.
“Edith, you are as much of a child
as ever. I thought three years would
surely make a young lady of you.”
“Never J I shall never be anything
but a child, I fear. But come, sit dowa

7 ou i b - There had been no corre-
spondence between himself and Edith,
according to the mandate of her
gRar Jian. It would have been an ea-y
matter to write her ^he news of his
tnarrisge, but to tel. it to her with her
e J es looking into his was a task before
which he qaai ed. If she still loved
bm, hotr cotud he near to see ner
of hts nuthlessness? f*?« oTeroioaded by tne story
He stole a look at her, and his heart ;
failed him. She was sitting oa a limb
of the linden, now, her hands at her
side lightly touching tne tree, and one j
little arched foot idly drawing figures
on the ground, while a smile curved
her rosy, wilful mouth. She wore a
dark blue skirt, and a blue and white
shirt waist, with high white collar and
black satin tie; this, with a blue
walking hat and natty ‘leather belt,
completed a rather masculine costume,
which suited to perfection the trim,
slender figure. The sunlight glit-
tered through the : branches, and
gleamed upon her bronze colored hair,
which waved in a wealth of ripples
about her small, well-shaped head.
Clifford felt the old witchery coming
over him, when suddenly he seemed
to see the picture uf a dear form, tall
and willowy; one, who, womanly in
everything, never affected the man¬
nish mode of dressing, but preferred
soft, clinging stuffs and dainty laces;
one who was the light and happiness
of his life. In place of the imperious
dark blue eyes he seemed to see a
pair of warm brown ones, whose every
glance told of a tender, affectionate
nature. Then he said with a good
deal of emphasis:
“1 think it is one of the sweetest
names in the world.”
‘•One of the sweetest? You used to
say it was tne very sweetest. Now,
Cliff, I believe some one has wheedled
you into saying her name is the sweet¬
est. Villain, speak'” with mock trag-
i edy.
He felt that his opportunity had
1 come.
“Well, you see, after the senior
j partner used came cut his to Johannesburg I
to go to house a good deal,
and he—vou see, had a daughter,
and--”
“I thought so! What was her name,
please?”
| “Dorothy.”
“So! And you consider that old-
j I fashioned don admire name prettier than Edith?
t your taste, sir ! Do
you remember the verses you scribbled
on my autograph fan?”
\ His golden opportunity for confes-
sion was lost, and he looked down at
her in a disheartened sort cf way, as
he answered abstractedly:
“No, I’ve forgotten them.”
Her eye3 glanced up at him with a
world of reproach ........ m their bine depths,
[ Have pretty. yon really. Cliff? And they
were so
“PMotion _ him

Oh, yes I do rememoer tuern

a t any rate; for I have always wished
j to travel, and here I am in thisbeauti-
fnl place, with the one I care for most
on earth!”
Her eyes glowed, and Dnnnels, not
dreaming that she might refer to any
one hnt himself, was stricken with
horror at having allowed her to make
3ac h a confession. He nerved himself
with an effort, but Edith, pitying his
confusion, and feeling that she had
gnne so far that explanations must m-
evitably follow unless she made a
diversion, rose hurriedly and said :
"Listen. Cliff! Don’t yon hear the
dinner gong?”
Cliff did not, nor did she, but with-
on t waiting for his answer she harried
toward the hotel. Dnnnels, cursing
his evil genins, followed her. She
bad used this ruse as a means of escape
an( j felt rather conscience stricken for
the trick; but in a moment all her
qualms vanished, for in a carriage ;'ust
entering the courtyarvl she perceived
her husband. At the same moment
Dnnnels, glancing towards the ver-
anda, saw his wife seated at one end,
alone. She looked in calm surprise at
him and the girl at his side. Edith,
noting the look, smiled to herself, and
turning quickly to Dnnnels, said,with
a meaning glance toward the veranda:
“You’d better burry, Cliff; your
w if e i a waiting for you !”
He started with amazement,
.< Tcm kne w, then?”
«.y es . Wasn’t I clever to mislead
you so?” Then, after another glance
a t Mrs. Dunnels: “Eeally. Cliff, I
mus t admire your taste. She is as
sweet as—candy. I’m awfully glad
for yoar sake , ola cham . let me con-
gratulate you.”
With a world of relief on his face,
Dunnels warmly grasped the hand she
held out, but flushed hotly at her next
word s:
“I’m very pleased and all that, you
know, but I think you might have let
me know before. How Ion? since?”
with another interrogatory glance,
He stammered.
“Not very long—a few weeks—we’re
on our honeymoon now—”
“Why, how odd !” she exclaimed in
mock surprise. “Two bridegrooms in
the same hotel! Do you see that tall,
handsome man just getting out of that
carriage? Well, he‘s on his honey-
moon too.”'
“Very odd!” Clifford began, when a
look at her roguish face stopped him,
and he finished by saying: “Whv,
Edith, you little hypocrite! I really
believe you are—you must be—”
A wave of crimson swept over her
face, and she hastened towards the
man who had just alighted from the
carriage; but as Dunnels stool staring
after her, with perplexity written on
every line of his face, she threw a
charming look over her shoulder a:
him.
“lon’re right, I am,” she said.—>

r i y HE really fashionable woman
of the present day is the one
■b who never loses her indiviJu-
ality in her dress. She com-
pels her clothing to become part of
herself, and while she follows all the
changes in fashion she finds them
tic enough to be modified to suit her
when she does not suit them. The
most interesting development in fash-
ions juft at present is the combination
of the simple with the elaborate which
results in a tendency to trim the

GOJTN OF CANVAS CHEVIOT. TAN JACKET WITH GARNITURE, j
one time impossibility, a trimmed
tailor-made gown slightly smackiDg of
the dressmaker’s touch,is given in one
of the accompanying sketches. This
material is a rich dark green canvas
cheviot lined throughout with shaded
red and green taffeta silk. The garni-
tore consists of green velvet and some
oddly shaped pearl buttons. I saw Mrs.
Dodge in a gown of this kind at an af-
ternoon tea last Thursday. This style
of costume is also much in vogue for
shopping and visiting purposes.
One can see many Jittle pretty
morning street gowns of checks—
black and brown, brown and green,
black and white—or rough Scotch
goods. They are made with tight-
fitting short jackets trimmed with silk
braid about one-quarter of an inch in
width. Tbe braided gowns have ere-
ated a great furor among the best
groomed women, and there are very
few among the up-to-date ones wno
cannot count at least one braided cos- !
fume in her wardrobe. An example of
this style of gown is shown on this
page. In this instance the snit was
developed m a Yale bine broadcloth,
and was trimmed with black tubular
braid in elaborate design. Both coat

TALE BLUE BF.OAUCLOTH TRIMMED COSTUilE MADE OF CANAVA CLOTH
WITH SILK BRAID. WITH YELYEi’ LEVERS.
and skirt were lined with silk which
changed from light blue to pick. The
skirt was of the seven-gored variety,
very plain in front and on the sides,
but with considerable fullness in the
back.
I went down to the American steam-
ship dock a few days ago to say an
revoir to a friend who was sailing on
the Paris for the Riviera to spend the
winter and early spring. Among
those whom I saw on tbe steamer, one
particularly stylish young woman
wore an extremely chic jacket showing
her trim figure off to advantage. It
was made of dark tan frieze trimmed
with braid that appears in flat hands
one particularly pretty gown which
she intended for wear on the steamer
during the evenings. This gown was
made of one of the new canava weaves
in a combination of dark green and
purple, and was trimmed with wine
velvet revers with a cream silk vest.
This is a season of the year for co-
vert and box coats, those smart litCe
garments which when made by a com-
petent tailor are so extremely stylish,
There is comparatively little change
from season to season i p the cut of the
box coat?. They may be a trifie
shorter this season than thev were
last and the sleeves rcav be smaller,
but the same shape is worn and they
fasten with large buttons just the same
I as they did before. They are gener-
: ally made with an inlaid velvet collar
of the same shade as the cloth of the
coat, and are always double breasted
- j
with strapped seam 3 in the back.
Eton jackets are coming to be seen on
the advanced fashion plates, and
doubtless will be all the rage as soon 1
as the cold weather is over. They j
will be made extremely short, and !
Vne so
arranged as to show fancy belt
that is worn with the skirt. No mat-
ter how stylish these jackets are, they ;
are certainly not becoming to stout, j !
short-waisted women, who make a mis-
take in wearing them. . ' j
Fashions for children’s frocks and !
coats are almost as variable as those
for older people, and the widths of
their little skirts and the size of their j
sleeves are always modeled after those
of the grown-up gowns. For older
girls there are some extremely prettv
frocks made with circular skirts and
Eton jackets in bright blue camel’s
hair cheviot. A frock made in this
style is trimmed with small buttons
and short straps of braid extending
across the revers of the jacket.
Fancy silks are worn by children for
dress, but the patterns must be small
and the coloring of suitable shades. It
is difficult to say just what is the richt
length of skirt for girls’ frocks, and
the best rule to follow is to have them
becoming, bearing in mind that thev
should come below the knees or thev
will look extremelv awkward and uglv.
Simplicity should* always prevail" in
garments for children. Elaborate
trimmiog will spoil the prettitet cos-
tnme, and it is a great mistake to use
expensive materials, for children grow
so rapidiy that it is rarely possible to
use a frock more than one season. In
fabrics there is a most unlimited
variety to choose from, Some of the
pretty pin checks are particularly
suitable, and, moreover, are very rca-
sonable in price Serges and cheviot,
are always m good taste, and made a pretty
striped pattern can often be Qf
go™ ere apparentt,
outdoing themselves tins.year >ev.,
were they prettier, smarter -
more infinite variety, and a pop^l. _

CAPE or EMERALD VELVET.
evening at* the* Metropolitan Opera
House presents a sight to dream over.
Not only have the boxes this gay and
festive appearance, but the orchestra
as well teems with beauty and style,
At the beginning of tbe season the
management of the Metropolitan re¬
quested that every lady present should
remove her hat. So the view of hun¬
dreds of fashionably dressed coiffures
adds greatly to the eSectivencss and
brilliancy of the scene,
The variety of neck novelties for
transforming a plain silk bodice into
something suitable for evening wear
is one oMhe special points in dress
this season, and there really seems to
be no limit to the attractive forms
taken by that one small band that en-
circles the throat. A folded satin
co ^ ar a kRge bow in the front is
one of the newest fads, while another
bas the top of the plain white satin
collar edged with liliiputian feathers
and the four loops of white satin rib-
bon tbct nestle under the chin are all
edged with the very smallest feathers
possible to obtain.
The Medici collar is also having an
inning now, and thoo^U every sort of device
whieh can be of u oaoa to
give the soft fluffy effect around the
neck. Daintv confections of satin,
aisplayed in tne ebMoa stores ted ready |ew«l for use,
and, as the collar rarely matches the
bodice in color, they are a very useful
purchase.
Calve, that fascinating and popular
singer, brought to America quite a
novelty in the way of an opera hood.
It is made of lace and gracefully fash-
loned after the style of the mantillas
worn by the Tromen of the soft-skied
Southern lands, where the sunshine
dreams in golden splendor. 'When the
wearer reaches the house of amuse-
ment she lifts the laca which is ar-
ranged on a thin wire bent in an oval
to fit around the head, and allows it
to fall in its own loose folds at the
back of her neck, where it forms a
beautiful collar. Romance and poetry
seem woven into filmy meshes of this
airy, dainty hood as it clings softly
and lovingly around the sparkling
face of its wearer. No matter how
elaborate the eveningcoiffare, the lace
hood can be worn without disturbing
a curl or tangling a tress,
One of the popular features of this
season’s opera is the matinee given
every Saturday. The orchestra is al-
ways crowded with smart women, and
the pretty wraps are almost bewilder-
ing in their variety. An illustration
of a particuli»rlv pleasing one made of
emerald velvet and ed?ed with chin-
chilla fur is shown in this letter,
The costumes illustrated herewith

TTealtli of Siam.
Vast treasures and rare opportuni¬
ties of loot await the future cosqa^rer
ot Siam. The royal city, iu whicn is
to be f®und the palace ot the King of
Siam, reminds the European visitor
of conventional fa'.rylanu or the world
of the “Arabian Nights.” Everything
that in Europe is made of glass 01
china is there made of solid gold. The
very pagoda in which the royal iera-
iiy worsnip, and which i? situated :n
the gardens of the palace, is ma le of
marble studded with gems and the
precious metals. A statuette of Buddha
cut cut of an emerald of fantastic size,
said to have once belonged to tne
Eiotians, is in the temple and is sur-
rounded by bushes o? gold anl silver,
inclosing gold statues six feet high,
each statue being clothed iu s:!k gar¬
ments studded with gems. No strange:
nas ever penetrated into tne kings
own private apartments; but accord¬
ing to the natives they are decorated
in an even more splendid fashion than
are the pagoda and the public or state
rooms. The present King of Starr,
Chula-Long-Korn, is an exceptionally
enlightened humanitarian—that is to
say, he has practically abolished tor-
and the ordinary criminal is be¬
headed instead of being slowly tor-
tnred to death, as was once customary,
Tne Siamese are a lively people, and
greatly enjoy playing games and tak¬
ing part in popular fetes. On certain
great occasions a sort of regatta take3
place, in which the whole population,
headed by the king and his children,
