CHAPTER V, and Norah looked round with an ad-
miration approaching awe.
When Norah woke the next morn-
ing, and, raising herself on her e.1-
bow, looked round tho luxurl nus
room, sho felt bewildered and con-
fused; it was all so different to the
small and plain, though neatly fur-
nished, little room at 01111 Cottage.
Then it flashed upon her that she
was in Santleigh Court, and that she
was Lady Norah Arrowdale.
Instantly another remembrance
A footman stood at an open door,
and guessing it to be the broakfast-
room,she entered.
The earl, in a suit of gray tweed,
loose but perfectly fitting, rose from
his chair, and, approaching her, took

thought with a smile what a helpless
creature a fine lady must become in
course of time.
When she rang Hannan appeared
with a couple of morning dresses on
her arm.
"Which will you have, my lady?"
sho asked, as if the question were of
the deepest importance.
"Oh, I don't care," said Norah;
"you shall choose for mc."
Harman considered the matter with
evident conscientiousness, and at last
selected one of white pique, with
small black leaves,

Norah nodded, and took up the
hair brushes forgetfully, but was re-

taking them out of her hand.
"I can brush it so much better,
my lady," she murmured.
Fes, that I am sure you can,"
assented Norah, sinking into the
comfortable chair and resigning her-
self. "I'm afraid I confuse you ter-
ribly, but I ant accustomed to do-
ing everything for myself; but I shall
got used to it, I dare say,"
"Oh, yes my lady."
Norah was silent for minute or
two, marveling at the ease and skill
with which the maid brushed the long
thick hair without inflicting the least
pain or inconvenience. Then, still
thinking of her last night's adven-
tore, she said:
"Who sleeps in this part of the
house?"
"No one usually but your ladyship.
Mr. Petherick slept in this wing last
night, and my room is next your
suite."
"Thorn was no one, no gentleman,
I mean, sleeping in the house except-
ing lay—father"—she hesitated a lit-
tle at the novel word—"and Mr.
Petherick?"
"No, my lady," replied Harman,
with a faint expression of surprise in
her face, which Norah saw in the
glass. "We have very few visitors,
Mr. Guildford Berton used to come
and stay, but he has got a cottage
in the village, just outside the
gates."
"Is Guildford his only Christian
name?" asked Norah.
"Yes, my lady, T think so. I never

In my work of producing wheat for
seed this is a point to be looked
after, but for the farmer who sells
his wheat on the market for grind-
ing I hardly think it pays.
Unless a farmer has plenty of barn
room in which to put his wheat, I
think it is the bust and cheapest
plan to thresh from the field where
0110 can get a machine to. do it . a$
tho proper time, It takes a Male
more help at ono time, but in the
end it is a, eonsicleable saving, I go
on the principle that it is cheaper
Lo hire tau men ono day than it is
to hire one auan, 13 days, Two or
three neighbors can exchange and

There is ono marked advantage in
putting wheat 10 a barn and keeping
it, until late to the season before
threshing, It is in having the sinew
in bettor shape for the winter, If
it .is not threshed until after the fall
rains the straw is in much bettor'
condition as a rite, 011(1 a nice lot
of good height straw, so as to have
plenty of bedding for the' stock, is
a line thing on any farm,

A pretty new accessory of dresshas appeared in belts and brotelles of
embroidered diens. They me meant
to be worn with linen skirts and
lingm'io waists, or even with cloth
skirts and while blouses.
Many artistic and convenient pieces
of summer furniture have been
brought out this year, among then
being a folding Lablo made of wioker.
There are boxes and shelves which

Many 1111011 gowns are worn at the
races, especially when the weather
1s as warm as it is at present. These
are nearly all coat suits, and aro
severely tailored, In these days mo-
toring to tho races is such a com-
mon practice that automobile gowns
are seen as often as any others. The
outy rule to be observed is simpli-
city and unobtrusiveness.
A stunning belt is 111ad0 of mauve
suede stitched many tinges with silk
and fastened with a dull gold buckle

The Lettered shirt waist has suffer-
ed more or less of an eclipse since

adherents and its uses. and for sport-

the sheer blouse.
Biuo, dark ay light, is perhaps the
favorite of all colors fol' bathing
suits. The color usually fades, It is
true, but so does every other color
after a few immersions in the briny
waves. A dark red mohair usually
very satisfactory, as when it fades
the color is rather attractive than
not.
A certain blue and green checkered
silk which is also checked oil' with
black hair lines, is one of the most
attractive of the many silk designs
for shirt suits. -
.Any costume really suitable for
golf will do for tennis, but a skirt
that clings is not so annoying to
the golfer- as to the tennis player,
and a longer skirt than that appro-
priate for tennis is practical for
golf.
Tho bathing suit of this day and
generation is made of taffeta, mo-
hair or pongee, although the last
*faniecl fahrie is still more or less of
an experiment. The great point is
to provide a fabric which will shod
water and come out of the waves
shapely and unepollal. Taffeta is
probably the best, but taffeta is ex-
pensive, all the more so because its
wcnt'ing qualities are not very 11111(11
to boost of. Mohair is, for all rots -
ons, to be preferred for practical pur-

For the nursery all sorts of poster

the best seen lately were a picnic

study of doves and thatched roofs.
The picnic was a study of cool. greens
