Judy, squatted on a low Ottoman si:col, covered in black satin, which showed up against the pales pink of the carpet. She watched Carlotta very closely while she was reading, but the ea pression on the beautiful. face was not self -revealing. Carlotta was •certainly thin, and her c.aseicfeatures, shorn of 'every line of superfiuoiis fullness, looked exqui- site in cameo. The six months' unre- mitting study and toil had added a strange almost unearthly beauty to that face, and Judy's eyes were full of yearning pain as they dwelt upon it. Carlotta came to the end of the letter, leaned her chin. on 'her hand',, and looked across the intervening. space into Judy's eyes..

The mystery of Its origin was buried with a pirate captain two centuries ago, About the year ;17255• two young peo- ple, husband and wife, embarked from northern Ireland for America.

On the third day' after the. baby's' birth the captain described through l his telescope, a mast -head on the hart- zon.: To .the voyagers thronging the.. deck there slowly appeared an ail preaching vessel; she was graceful,' and her: meets were tall, The captain Of the emigrant ship gave orders to slacken speed. Nearer and nearer j drew the mysterious craft. A puff of smoke appeared, .A.'• cannon roared, and a shot flashed across the shiip's bow. The craft was a pirate, The awe-stricken passengers stood and watched while the pirate ship hove to. A boat dropped from her side,.and down a rope ladder climbed the pirate captain and his villainous crew. Un- der powerful oars the boat allot across the intervening space. The captain and the crew of the defenceless'vehsel were soon in irons. The pirates Pre- pared to scuttle the ship. In the course of h sinister work the pirate captain came to the stateroom of the mother. Rudely entering, he heard the cry of a child. His countenance swiftly changed. Then, swiftly recovering his composure,- he inquired how old the child was andwhether it was a. boy or a girl. "Have you given her a name?" he. asked. The mother, trembling, said she had not. "Permit me to name her and promise to retain that name and I will release your captain and crew and leave your ship unharmed." The woman quickly promised. I name her Ocean Mary,".said the pirate. Then he left her cabin, released his prisoners and ordered his "men to the boat. They rowed slowly back across the water and went aboard the ship. Soon it disappeared over the horizon. Three days passed—days filled with thanksgiving at the providential es- cape: Ocean Mary became the object of everyone's adoration. On the third day the mast of the pidate ship again rose on the horizon.' Again a cannon boomed across `the waters and'a' boat was lowered. This time the - pirate captain came aboard alone. Under his arm he carried a packet. FLOWERED MATERIALS OF' '• MANY COLORS FASHION SUMMER FROCICS. Of irresistible charm is this light - some frock of flowered voile, worn over a. slip matching the deeper tone of the flowers. Long sleeves find their way into the newest frocks, and this version of the raglan ,sleeve is softly gathered with therround neck, into a narrow band. Circular panels express the side flare, and are held in place by two -toned satin ribbon tying in front. Smartly dressed women are choosing this type of fluttering frock for sum- mer wears to the exclusion of other models, and the diagram accompany ing this frock shows how simple and easy it is to put together.
