IRVIR DENTIST and 15 Kentucky Building LOUTS A. FORT ARCHITECT REPE DE CHINE, satin and chiffon are the materials chosen to make up this adorably becoming wedding gown. It is made with a train of only medium length, the underskirt veiled with a tunic of chiffon bordered with satin. In the bodice the underpart of crepe de chine is also veiled with chiffon, and the long sleeves are made of the latter material. A small over- bodice of satin hardly amounts to more than wide suspenders over the sleeves, but gives opportunity for turned-back revers of satin veiled with chiffon, in which a pattern of fine hand-wrought embroidery is displayed. The pretty bride has departed from the regulation high neck and allowed herself a round, moderately low neck, in the bodice. An independence which one is glad to commend, since it is particularly in keeping with the ma- terials used, and immensely becoming to the possessor of a lovely neck. The veil of tulle is very full, falling from a little cap finished with a spray of orange blossom buds and lilies of the valley. The veil is longer than the train by a few inches. Altogether, for a wedding gown of moderate cost this is as charming as anything one could hope to find. The little flower girls are dressed in bodices and short accordion-plaited skirts of crepe de chine. Lace and net are used in the sleeves and neck of these pretty gowns, but they are not made exactly alike. It is only in small details ot decoration and fin- | ishing that they differ. FEach little | maid wears a broad sash of black vel- vet ribbon and a quaint bonnet of pink chiffon finished with narrow black vel- vet ribbon. They carry wicker baskets holding fine ferns and pink roses and having handles to which filmy bows of pink zauze ribbon are tied. The final glory of the trio is the bouquet of the bride, a great cluster of white roses with lilies of the valley and ferns intermin- gled. Long pendent ends of narrow satin ribbon, into which little sprays of lilies are tied, fall almost to the bottom of the gown. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Blue Serge Coats. Long navy blue serge coats of mill- tary persuasion are much worn in England. The collar of these service- able trig coats are high and tight, the belts placed below the walst are de- cidedly wide. Lingerie for Spring and Summer &, £ =) 5 W for the coming spring a summer are made. They beguile the mind with thoughts of summer time and provide work that is not at all trying. The average needlewoman can make them as pretty to look at and a little more carefully finished than the ready-made JILE the winter evenings are long, and stormy days tempt one to usling garments, although there is not a great | saving in cost.

[[IFoR THE One day thirty years uago it was e ported to the Trinity board. which bas i charge of all lights on the coast of Great Britain, that a sboat bag wade in the Eng!ish chaupel abour me| miles due east ot the Lizard Ag the| spot indicated there badggeeu thirts | fathoms ot water ever siuce u British ship went to sew. and the voard of | course, argued that there tad been a | mistake. It was u fisbing 1 wiueh bad reported the stoi aud tound only fourteen feet ui water over it. ta craft was sent out At olce ro nithe Ay official investigation Wt nug dap pened was this: Lt wuas a oowider strewn bottom, and two or turee old wrecks had drifted togetber and piled up on each other until a daugerous ob- struction had been formed. It was as if a great rock had been Geaved up from the bottom. and the board must guard against the danger without delay Thirty years ago the diver's dress was not what it is today. nor could men handle explosives under watet as they can now. After two or three vain attempts to clear away the wrecks the work was left for a storm tv accomn plish, and meanwhile lightship No 4. under Captain Crox, was woved around from Mounts bay and anchored near the spot and notice given to marn ners. That night it was the captain's watch from 8 till midnight. A gate bad come up. It had come 10 o'clock ship. The captain was aft and bis mate forward. but he knew at once that the bail came from seaward. It was not so dark but that one could see a ship 800 feet away, even though she had no lights aboard. As 800n as a port fire was ignited the sea was lighted np for hundreds of feet aronnd in a ghastly way, and both men looked for the craft they suppos- ed to be near by. They looked in vain till the signal was nearly finished. Then a ship's yawl, driving right up in the teeth of the gale, hove into sight. She was without a mast or sail or oars, and the only figure in her sat in 1 dined with the general and severa!, the stern sheets, and his arms and legs members of his staff. There was also another wowman present besides my- self, who spoke English fluently. i were bound around with ropes. The man was bareheaded and dress- ed as a landsman, and as be drove past deed, not every one would Know | within twenty feet of the rafl they had whether she was English or German. though to me she betrayed ber nation- | ality in certain words that a German can never pronounce. For the “w" she used a “v.” For a “g" she used {“sh.” But it seemed to we tbat she! must have learned English while :young. for these pecullarities of Ger- 'Jman pronunciation were very slight. ' After dinner the men arose and sald that they would smoke outside, giving us two ladies an opportunity to enjoy each other's society for a short time. They had scarcely left us alone to- gether when my companion’s maunner changed completely. . 8eat very near me and whispered: “] am not German. | am English, | have very important information of the German forces which 1 wish to carry to England. But there are officers be- a look square into his eyes, and the agony on his face made them shudder. | They started to throw him a rope, but as the coll swung into the air they re- membered that, being bound, he could make no use of it.

Outside the general and the oth ,er officers who had retired from the | dinper table were secated on camp, chairs smoking. They arose as | ap ' peared and turned toward me. | | “General,” 1 said, “1 wish to proceed lon my journey at once. You have set this weman upon me to see if 1 am what | pretend or a spy.

Captain Crox was full of indignation over the crime of send- ing a man afloat in that manner and of pity for the victim, when his mate touched hiin on the arm and shouted in his ear: “If 1 was ashore, captain, all the | money in England would not bribe me to set foot on this deck again!” “What's the matter with you?' was called in reply. “It's only a, bit of shore villainy that we must report.” “It's nothing that's happened ashore, sir.

He was ont of his bunk and on deck just as one of thein light. ed a port fire, and you cun judge his feelings when he saw the former scene | re-enacted There were the yawl and | the man, and the boat slowly forged | and disappeared to wind- d. There was no more sleep for any- body on board No 4 that night, and | next day, when the gale broke and | the tender came alongside, all de- once. The captain was as badly rat- tled as the others. They were guyed and ridiculed, of course, but they stood so firm that the tender brought off another crew, and they were re- tieved from duty. A new crew was assigned, but the man and the boat ap- | peared to them twice in one night and drove them ashore, as they did the othérs. A third crew went ost and for two weeks began to prepare to remove the wrecks. Some progress had been made when a three days' gale set In from the north, and there were more wrecks than had been known for ten | years hefore. For two days the light- ship hung to her anchors, though hav- ‘ng a signal of distress ont after the Fet day, but when the gale abated whe had disappeared. She had been swept down the channel and out to | i | | | | i | i | bottom up more than 300 miles away. The same storm broke up and remov- ed the wrecks, and there was no longer need to keep a light at that spot. .No. 87 55 8 “BOCA GRANDE ROUTE” ATTRACTIVE SERVICE.
