He scarcely listened as Price told of obtaining the picture from his cous- | in, also of an item he had noted in | & newspaper some time previous com- | menting on “the rare business suc cess of John Hoyt, Esq” That must ! be Drusa's father, so “he was safe in spying out the land,” and “getting in touch with possible millions.” Harvey had been always helptul to Price, and the latter had treated him pretty well. Harvey considered ser- enades an obsolete art, and felt rather ridiculous at the thought of posing as & Spanish cavalier. However, he wish. ed to be accommodating, and there was a real element of romanticism in Price’s plan. “You see, I'll surprise Miss Hoyt with the song the college fellows sang | many a moonlight night under the seminary windows—'Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming’ We'll practice up a bit, steal into the Hoyt garden and give this dead old burg a real sen- sation.” It was almost nine o’clock in the| evening when the twain started out, each carrying his special instrument under his arm. Earlier in the day they had strayed past the Hoyt homo, and Price indicated where they would post themselves in the garden when the appointed hour arrived. As they left the hotel Price discovered that he had run out of extra guitar strings. “I'll get a supply from the drug store in case of accidents,” he ex- plained. “You go ahead and I'll soon Join you.” Harvey reached the Hoyt home. He stepped in amoRg the shrubbery and walted for his friend. Suddenly the lights were turned on in an upper room. There appeared at its window a feminine form. It was Miss Hoyt, pale, disturbed, and she drew close to the window, her hand crossed on her breast, as if to subdue some deep emotion. Her head bent towards the interior of the house, as it some dis- turbing sound alarmed her. So entranced was Harvey at the sud. den beautiful apparition that he had not drawn out of the full focus of the flaming gas jet. She saw him, uttered a faint cry and then leaned from the window. “Forgive me,” she faltered, “you are a stranger, but—won't you—that is— I am all alone in the house, and some | “At once,” replied Harvey, swiftly taking in the situation. He swung the mandolin case, ready for use as a weapon, ran around to the | front of the house and dashed up the steps, to find the door open. He stood still in the hallway and listened in- tently. Harvey flared a match, found a gas jet and flooded the Lall with light. Just then a timid, trembling form came down the staircase. It was Miss ! Hoyt. She bore a heavy cane. | “It is papa's,” she said. “Please ' don't rush into danger—I am not afraid now."” For all that, she kept close to her in- | | of the noblest laws in evidence.

This was the young lady he had noticed at the park. Had she overheard the conversation between himself and Price? He won- dered, as he retreated to the porch. “I—1 had better explain how I came to be here,” he observed—"in the gar- den, I mean.” “I think I know,” smiled Drusa. “I had an intimation of a serenade. 1 saw Mr. Price today, but did not wish t> spcil what he intended as a sur prise.

Price had gone into the wrong garden—that of a jeal- | ' ous, crusty old bachelor, just married. He had observed the guitar-armed ser- | enader, had gone for a gun, and Price had run for his life. Of course Miss Hoyt had overheard Harvey's encomiums in the park. It turned out that it was her uncle who was 80 wealthy, This smoothed out Harvey's path. Price, bored at his mishap, did not linger on the scene. And of course the serenader by proxy eventually married Drusa Hoyt. (Copyright, 1913 by W. G, Chapman.) ‘Thelr Honeymoon.

Ratine in silk has been employed with fine results in hats for misses. Soft crowns of this material are combined with braid-covered brims. A hat of this sort looks best trimmed with ribbon. Another sort of crown with a braid brim is shown in this picture.

The waist ends in a pointed back panel. Trimmings From Chinese Skirts. Chinese skirts in the original cer tainly possess as many varied uses as the famous porker, whose only loss is its squeal. The front and back panels, with their rich embroideries in Peking stitch, make exquisite long sallor col- lars which will miraculously turn your most commonplace frock into a verl table creation. The yards on yards of two-toned Chinese blue embroidery bandings make trimming galore for a stunning gown and hat. A striking parasol in these days of unique ones, is made from the skirt's pleated and embroidered sides, and an equally ef- | fective piano lamp shade can be | evolved from the same, with the add} tion of the panels.

Particularly Effective Touches May Be Given to Draperies, Especlally If They Are of Cretonne. It you have cretonne draperies in your guest room there are many ate tractive articles you can make to add comfort and beauty to the room. Purchase cretonne to match, or, if this i impossible, a design showing the same coloring. Lovely bureau scarfs are fashioned by cutting the cretonne the exact dimensions of the bureau top. Cover this with white marquisette and be- tween the top and the china silk lining place one thickness of cotton wadding. Whipstitch the edges together and finish them with a narrow edging of gold lace, The marquisette softens the colors of the cretonne, producing a pastel effect. A rectangular sofa cushion can be made of the same materials, and {s particularly beautiful when ornament- ed with a large flat bow of ribbon in one corner, In rose designs the cretonne is ex- tremely artistic when veiled with mar- quisette. For tho dressing table a long pine cushion should be made to match, Finish either end with a resette of satin ribbon. | room with one with a cretonne top to I'rames for sewing stands can be purchased to match any wood, and it would ba nice to supply your guest match the draperies.
