His face was disturbed and troubled, while his clothes were disarranged and un- tidy, He had evidently come with the intention af consulting with Bherlock Holmes, for on perceiving his colleague he appeared to be em- barrassed and put out. He stood tn the centre of the room, fumbling nervously with his hat and uncertain what to do, “This is a most extraordinary case,” he said at last—a most incomprehensi- ble affatr."’ “Ah, you find it so, Mr. Lestrade!’ cried Gregson triumphantly. “I thought you would come to that conclusion. Have you managed to find the secretary, Mr. Joseph Stangerson?” "The secretary, Mr. Joseph Stanger- son," said Lestrade gravely, “was mur- dered at Halliday’s Private Hotel about 6 o'clock this morning."

In the long evenings that are streton-| ing out between now and Christmas beadwork promises to fill every moment of time. Purses and card-cases, pipe bags and other useful articles must be constructed for Christmas gifts, and those who are not already auppiled with the means for carrying on this fagcinat- ing employment will hail with delight a supply of beads and a loom and a bit of chamois for a cift of the season. Stringing necklaces of beads to match thelr cowns will prove an entertaining | pastime to the society girl. wh | le the! small child {s enraptured with the op- portunity to string anything, and grand- ma bends over the task of making head-worked bags such as used to be in fashion when she was young.

The same sort of bag can be made by sewing pleces of silk together and covering the seams with needlework or some pretty braid. Another popular and easy wey to make inexpensive sachets 1s to buy pret- ty Japanese silk or filmy lace-trimmed handkerchiefs, which can behad at from 12 to % cents, A square of pasteboard covered with cotton batting, sachet powder and silk {s laid crosswise in the centre of the handkerchief and the cor- ners are folded to the centre of the square, Here three of them are sewed together and the fourth corner left as a flap into which are tucked handker- chiefs and gibbons.
