Haxpxercuers with very minute colored borders, and the name embroidered in a color to match that of the border, are very popular. Brack Chantilly lace flounces that have been r years are being revived for and in worsted, figured with v ties in the way of dfess goods.

A Very pretty dress lately worn in New York Was made of dark green nun’s cloth, with very deep collar and turnover cuffs made of ficelle or twine lace. The skirt was kilted all the way up. and over this was a tunie made with full Buckinzham puffs. The dark green jersey bod- ice was trimmed as described above. The hat and parasol were of dark green satin, lined with pale pink surah trimmed outside with rows ©f ficelle lace anda slender branch of hedge Foses and foliage. even for outdoor wear, not Snfrequently have the upper portions made of material to match the dress worn with them.

Coss Stitcn is very appropriate for young girls summer dresses, and it need not always be in the ever repeated blue and red. We will deseribe a charming example, prepared for a you irl going to Trouville. The kilted skirt Was in satteen of the fashionable cornflower blue: the tunie, in cambric of a turquoise shade, Was dotted with cornilowers and forget-me-nots embroidered in silks; similar needlework deco- Tated the loose paletot. The trimmings of the Whole consisted of silk lace worked with cross stitch in the two shades of blue. Unique was the accompanying bonnet, in turquoise blue straw, lined with the darker tint, its crown coy- ered by a perfect bed of torzet-me-nots, cor flowers and buttercups. Yes, buttereups: although there is yellow in the dress, but the 1 touch must perforce be everywhere. Very practical for traveling are tie kid gloves, Provided in the palm of the hand with a tiny pocket fastened by a button, and intended to hold the railway ticket or a stray coin. When one considers the difficulty of getting at one’s pocket. and the risk of carry hand-bags, Such a dainty ‘little contrivance will he justly appreciated.

The young Princesses of Wales wore red ones, both at the Chelsea fete and at the Marlborougk House garden party, where the Princess looked lovely in pale blue, LETITIA’S LONG DAY. “It will be such a very long day, auntie,” “That depends altogether on yourself, Letty.” “I am perfectly certain that it must inevitably be the very longest day in all my life.” “Weill, well; you know best. At any rate, you are provided with books, flowers, a piano and a new frock--all that young ladyhood most ardently desires, I suppose. And you needn't see anything of Tom.” “How can I help it?” “Go into the garden when he Is in the house; go into the house when he is in the garden. Shut the door of the drawing-room in his face (he is not likely to trespass in your domain though); have your luncheon sent in to you on a tray if you require absolute seclusion. I can think of nothing more at this moment.” “Oh, dear, it will be such a long, long day, auntie.” “So you sald before. Well, I am truly sorry. “What can't be cured must be endured,’ you know. Good-by, child.” My aunt thereupon folded me in a volumin- ous embrace, and mounted up into the fly, a inusty and antique vehicle which had been hired from the neighboring town to convey her and her dozen packages to the station. My aunt, a maiden lady of mature years and energetic habits, was going to spend the day with another maiden lady of mature years, her sister, who lived at E—, preferring the gay vortex of a cathedral town to the simple pleasures of the country. “Where's the basket of cowslips, Letty, and the bacon? And, oh, the cream!” “It's all right, auntie; cream and bacon and all. But, dear me, dear me, how I wish the day were over!” er mind that, you foolish girl; it’s posi- ively wicked. And you might change your mind after all, before evening.” “Oh! no, indeed.” “Well, good-by, again; good-by.” The driver clicked his whip, the horse started, the fly gave sundry creaks and lurches, my aunt waved her handkerchief, and I was left, stand- ing lonely on the doorstep, while the departing vehicle meandered slowly between the trees, and was presently lost to sight. Then [ turned to go indoors, revolving in my thoughts how I could best avoid Tom. But ere I could solve the difficult problem, a loud, rough voice called out from the shrubbery : “Hullo, Cousin Lettice, why I'm just a min- ute too late, ain't I? She's off, ain't she?” “Aunt Mab has just gone,” I replied with chilly dignity. Tom in his brief speech had al- ready offended me twice. I did not like to be soled Lettice; I could not endure the word “ain't.” However, he emerged from the shrubbery as unconcerned and cheerful as usual, and came up to where I stood. He was dressed in white flannel from head to foot, and was lazily swing- ing his long arms to and fro. “Tsay, Cousin Lettice, come and play ten- nis.” “Thank you, Tom; I am busy, and would X se kindly remember to call me Le- i * Certainly, certainly. ‘My dearest love, I could not wish her A name more charming than Leta? “ Or shall I call you Tishy? ‘Little Miss Tishy, Tier conduct was fishy.” “Tom!” “ Yea, Letitia.” “T am going in, tremely busy all day “Oh, indeea! Weil, so shall I; too busy to talk to you, Miss Tish: I know how to take a hint as well as anybody, believe me.” ing, and with a very red face, Tom strode away, whistling ‘* La-di-da” as he went. What a bumpkin he was, to be sure, and what aggressively and irfitatingly vulyar man- hers some unkind fairy godmother had bestowed on him! it was all very well that he pretended to study Latin and Greek while he spent the summer with Aunt Mab; he was far more likely to take a double first-class in boating or cricketing, or become a senior wrangler with a fishing-rod, than to excel in any purely mental struggle. ‘As for myself, Iwas a young Lon- doner on a fortnight’s visit to Aunt Mab. and a garden-party at Fulham or Chiswick (with plenty of strawberries and cream, a couple of laburnum trees and the Hungarian band), real- ized my notion of the country far more than this silent nook in the wilds of Devonshire, in which, however, I had already spent ten idle days, wandering about with my aunt, making uneatable cheeses under the — supercilious direction of the dairymaid, and perpetually squabbling with Cousin Tom. Tom had walked away now, whistling and aggrieved, and I went indoors, and opened the piano, and practiced a nocturne by Chopin. I could’ hear Tomvin his study, stamping up and down, and banging the door of his bookcase. Then all was still, and I knew he had settled down to read; but I practiced diligently, for I reflected that music might annoy him, and interfere with his meditations on Horace or Eu- ripides. I distinctly hated Tom; I must have done so, for I often longed todo him an injury. It only irritated me to see that Aunt Mab liked him, and that the vicar, the housekeeper, the dogs and cats, and all the dirty little village chil- dren loved and idolized him. But, of course, ina sleepy and benighted village there is no- body for anybody else to like, and the one young man in the place must needs grow spoiled and overbearing. An hour had passed, and my fingers grew tired, and my head heavy. Had Tom been any- one but Tom, I should have almost regretted my refusal of his offer of lawn-tennis. Lawn-ten- nis! the very word was refreshing, and sug- gested pleasant pastime and good fellowship. I left the piano and turned to the open window; | the garden was cool and green, the room was | close and decidedly dreary. Finally I sallied forth, my complexion protected by the shady hat and gauze veil that Londoners deem neces- ary for rural life, and carrying in a basket the latest invention ‘of yellow-brown art needle- work, intending to spend a pleasant hour in the shade. But Thad not gone adozen yards before I came upon Tom, partly asleep, his legs and arms stretched over half a dozen chairs, two Latin books and a big dictionary lying on the gravel path, and the last number of Punch spread open on his knee. “* Oh dear, I am afraid I have disturbed you,” said I. ake in the least,” answered Tom benig- ant! and—and—I shall be ex- n 1 thought you were in your study.” “So I was, but the infernal noise of your piano— “I forgot you are not fond of music.” “On the contrary, I love music.

How restless you are! You had better sit down.” “Why snould I?” “Tt is your duty to entertain me.” “My duty, indeed !” “Did not Aunt Mab bid you do so? No? Well, anyhow, she told me to entertain you, Cousin Lettice.' “She told you?” “Certainly. ‘Tom, dear boy’ (Aunt Mab always calls me dear boy)—‘Tom, my dear boy, you are bucolic, and Lettice isn’t anything of the sort. She must tame you.'” ‘Aunt Mab never spoke like that.” he did; to that effect, at least. And she added: ‘Toin, dear old man, it's your manifest duty to be tamed.’” “Oh, Cousin Tom!” “Ob, Cousin Lettice want to be tamed!” But Tom, as he made this apparently humble speech, looked up with so defiant and im nent an expression on his countenance, I turned a: from him and walked quickly and in silence across the lawn toward the house.

Tom was a rough countryman, and I was a civilized Lon- don girl; he was, of course, unused to the ways and wiles of women, while at balls and kettle- drums [had boasted many a conquest. _Some- how, however, I could not manage Tom; I could not even prevent his managing me. Farther- more, a sense of depression actually came over me at the thought of his going out for the afternoon, surely, in Aunt Mab's absence, it was Le bounden duty to be my squire—nay, my slave. 1 ate my luncheon however, as I was very hungry, and as I sat on feeling cross and lonely, moodily sipping my aunt's home-made ginger beer with the melancholy reflection that it was not more flat than all the world besides to me, this long, long day, of all my days the flattest. Suddenly the door burst open. “Down, Sambo; down, down, Chloe,” quoth my cousin to the big dogs that accompanied him, aie vociferously, and jumpipg on him with elight. “Tay, Letty, (Letitia, I mean), I’ve ordered the old trap round, I'm’ going to drive you to Eddistombe.” “You are ?” - “I'm sorry, yeu know,” began Tom, in a bungling sort 0’ way, “that 1—I—I lost my temper, but I couldn’t help it.” “You were extremely rude,” I answered with dignity. “And you? what were you ?” asked Tom with alaugh. “You'd better accept my apology with grace, Letty, before my humility dies out alto- gether. It's safe not to last long. Go and put on your hat and tippet.” “My what ?” “Your bonnet and cloak, ff you like that better. Of course, Tishy, I know that it is simply idiotic for a man to lose his temper with @ woman.” “That is true.” “A woman may do what she Ikes; it 1s all silly childishness, like the scratching of a kitten, or the anger of a young canary! A man shouldn't mind, if he is anything of a fellow, and, of course, he doesn’t mind really.” “My dear Tom,” Iasked with some sarcasm, “why do you seek my society if I am so silly?” “Why do you seek mine?” retorted Tom quic! “Wh Letty? é “II didn’t seek—” “Oh, yes, you did. Well, you are a dreary, lonely child, and—don’t contradict, Tishy—and { pity you and want to cheer you up. _ Besides, you are not bad-looking, though you are my cousin. There’s soft sawder for you. Why,you have been taugit in books, Letitia,that woman's, beauty is the mainspring of men’s ‘great deeds. What a poor little weak hand it is!” added Tom incoherently, taking my feeble member into his large bronzed palm. “I don't want it kissed, though,” said I, angrily snatching it away just in time to avert the catastrophe. ‘‘How dare you, Tom!” “**I dare do all that may become a man, plied Tom grandiloquently. ‘Do go and dress, Letty. Better a drive with a cousin and the bitter herb of tobacco than a dull afternoon and only the stalled ox of cold beef to comfort you.” “Who is silly now? But you have eaten no cold beef yourself.” “‘T stuffed myself with a late breakfast. Be- sides, you are like a saintly vision—I see you better when I am fasting. Down, Sambo, down, sir. Now sit up and beg; of course you must put on your best manners like your master. for the sake ofthis fine lady from London!” My aunt’s dog-cart was a vehicle in which she would never trust herself, and which was there- fore kept solely for the use of Tom. As for Jerry, she was a good, quiet beast. Her name was originally Egeria, but the stable-boy had contracted and vulyarized this appellation, much as the Aryan races have amalzamated the noble Sanskrit roots into their divers modern tongues. Jerry trotted on affably, and my cousin, as we passed between the high hedges that wore the green mantle of spring, discoursed with erudition of the neighborhood. So you see, Lettice,” said Tom, tor the fifth or sixth time, “that when the old squire died, he had got ali his property comfortably packed into a ring fence, and when his first wife's step- daughter succeeded to her great aunt, who, as I told you, was the squire’s second cousin, once removed—why, Letitia, I do believe you are nearly asleep; you were actually nodding!” “You are so—so entertaining, Tom. How pretty the wild violets ar: “Dog violets, you mean. “TI don’t choose to cali them go.” “As you please. A violet or a lettuce by any nee name—Letty, I want to ask you one ing.” tenfold, and the old dog-cart lurched and swung from side to side. “Oh, Tom, not so fast, not so fast!” I cried. “Hush!” said Tom under his breath. Istared at him, a vague dread chilling my heart. He was sitting bolt upright, nay, he was half standing. His lips, partly open, showed. his tightly clenched teeth; his eyes were fixed, and he was frowning terribly. His strong hands held the reins in thelr powerful grasp, but the ribbons were strained, and seemed almost about to break asunder, And then I knew that Jerry was running away, and that we were in danger. T laid my hand upon thereins. ‘Oh, Tom, let me help,” I whispered. But Tom shook off my hand with no gentle movement. ‘Good God!” he said fiercely, “let me alone will you? Sit still—yes, you shall! Do as I tel, yon; do you hear?” i He glared at me fora moment; his blue eyes flashed like steel, and his face was quite white; I had never dreamed that Tom could look thus. I sat perfectly still, not altogether from obedience to Tom, of course, but from a wish to help him as well as from the consciousness that it was best to do so. Faster and faster grew Jerry’s speed; my head swam as the landscape seemed to fly past, and we dashed on, some- times spinning recklessly along the road, some- times jolting and lurching dangerously over stones and rough places. Suddenly Tom turned to me. “Letty, you will promise to remain still, whatever happens?” he murmured hurriedly. “Yes, yes; why?” Tom gave no answer, but the next moment the dog cart swerved violently, the mare seemed about to climbthe steep bank, and I was scarcely conscious of ‘anything more, ex- cept an overwhelming surging sound in my aoe secu a lookea atlas i judge to the attorney winked, ‘The latter softly smiled. ee eo.

I could not speak; ‘I thought I was dreaming: I pat my hand to my head. I was herdly aware of my own identity; Jt never occurred to me even to be angry at Tom’s affectionate attitude. And yet it was all true; the dog-cart and the mare had vanished, and I, weak and giddy, was sitting by- the roadside, leaning against’ this meekest and contritést of cousins. “Oh, Letty,” said Tom, in a voice that was absolutely low and husky, “can you forgive me? Oh, Letty, my darling, I nearly killed you. When we were shot out of that beastly trap and I picked you up, you had fainted, and I thought you were dead. But you are all right, ain't You? Say you are all right, Letty.” There were two big tears in Tom's kind eyes ashe gazed anxiously at me. I was. all right, 80 right, indeed, that I am convinced my strong- est feeling at that particular moment was one of triumph that fate and I together had reduced Tom to such an abject condition. Possibly he discerned something of the kind in my tell-tale face, for he smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. ‘And then he blushed deep red through his brown skin. “Letty, give mea kiss, just one kiss.” “Why? Oh, Tom, I can’t, I can’t.” “Yes, you can, just one; because you hate ” said Tom, illogically, and so, without wait- ing my permission, he took me in his big, strong arms and held me. Anda strange and sudden knowledge came to me that our hate was not hate after all, but only love in disguise. For, indeed, from’ time immemorial, mythical and historical, has not the foolish young god been prone to disguise? As we sat hand in hand, gazing at each other, there was no need for speech, and Tom and I were both silently agreed that we had loved each other all our lives. But at last he spoke: “Letty, do you remem- ber the first time I ever saw you?” “Yes; it was at grandpapa’s house at Twick- enham.' We were a party of children playing together, and a horrid little boy wanted to put oo earwigs down my back, and you wouldn’t let him.’ “I gave hima Jolly thrashing and made him eat one of his own earwigs. And the second time I saw you, Letty, you cried because I made you sit in a cherry tree and wouldn't let von come down until you had eaten the cherries I had picked for you.” “And my French governess cried also, and said you had a bad heart. “So she did. Well, the third time we met you were grown up and wouldn't speak to me at all, so it was my turn to be in Coventry.” “And how about Jerry ?” I asked after a pause. “She is in the sand-pit, probably. I tried to upset the trap to save us from worse destruc- tion.
