Dressmakers from all over the country will attend the convention, and lectures are to be given during the ten days’ eession, The features whereby the American modiste may improve will be made clear, and Miss White, who has just returned from Paris with a large number of French gowns, will speak in detail of the Frenchman's art in fashions. A feature of the convention will be the fitting of corsets to the living form, Hygienic wearing of the corset will be demonstrated, the wearing of hose sup- porters and the correct fastening of these to the corset will all be shown, Three Shows at Once, ‘Three exhiditions and lectures will be carried on simultaneously at Masonic Temple, where tthe convention proper will be held, at Etris Hall, No. 132 West Twenty-thind street, where tailor les- sons will be given, and at the assocla- tion headquarters, No. 174 Fifth avenue, where the Parisian models will be ex- hibited.

Firet, ask mother for any magazine! or paper that has figures of ladies and ohidiren in it. After choosing those you like, get) your paint box and set to work to paint} them. Do not use much water. Then get a pair of blunt scissors and cut them out very carefully (but be sure to wait until the paint is dry.) The next thing {s to have a plece of pasteboard or thin cardboard, which you can buy at any etattoner’s for 1 penny the sheet, and paste the out out figures on it. It is best to cover the whole @heet with them, just leaving round. Let these get perfectly dry, and then cut each figure out very carefully. ‘Take a piece of stiff paper, or another piece of pasteboard, and cut tt about half an inch wide and an inch long, Méasure a quarter of It, crease it, and then paste tho bit that ts creased on to the back of the doll, You will find that, when dry, it will enable the dolls to stand. You must remember to cut the figures quite even at the bottom, or they will not stand.

Then came to her the dreary months of waiting and watching, the first phad- owy doubts, the heart-sickness, the misery and despair of isolation and lone- liness and longing, True as tempered steel herself, whe refused to believe that he had deceived her.

She was no longer the Innocent, ignorant wild flower she was when Scanlan woved and won —and forgot her. Soon after arriving in Berlin she learned that Scanlun hed failed in health a year or more since and eought the warmth of Italy to recuperate, To Italy forsooth went Helen, and there she found it a much more dimMoult task, as he had gone for health, not business, and left no tnacs, Also she found it a more serious matter to lve.

When he came to, after weeks of fiiness in a charity hospital in Melbourne, he found himself hope- lessly shattered and absolutely penni- less—and without ambition to move a step, As a full realization of ‘his con- dition came to him he groaned aloud. A letter telling him of the death of his misoreant wife was small solace to him, The whole of ig life, 80 full of high posalbilities In the morning end now #0 hopelessly wrecked at high noontide, passed before his mind, and ‘he prayed passionately for death. “Oh, God, end this useless lfe," he groaned, “before suicide ts added to my other crimes and failures.” A figure darkened the door.
