She had sallied upon the field ready. to drive the inw trader from her grounds, and she, Lady Lancaster, the great rich lady, had been vanquished by the sharp little tongue of a low -born girl who had so innocent and candid an air that she did not at this moment quite 1<ealize that the girl herself knew the enormity of the offenSe she had committed. Elise, full of silent, demure laughter, waited for her mistress to speak. It was several minutes before she rallied from her fit of rage enough to speak clearly. When she did, she Said sharply: °tput me into a chair, Elise, and tr in 1<2rs Wast to n1e " sat', regarding him suspiciously, and nowise pleased when she saw the dee)) flush that reddened his face. • "What was it yon wished ine to tell you?" he inquired coldly. "Why, that she was grown up in- stead of a child, as I thought, and-- and—that she was pretty—rather— and accomplished beyond her station," wrathfully said Lady Lancaster. "I' supposed you would find that out for yourself in due time," he replied, with a half smile that nettled her, for she was decidedly uneasy over the discovery she had matte. She was by no means blind to the distracting beauty of Leonora, and it had not taken her five minutes to find out. that her mind was cultured. and her accomplishments of a high order. When she reflected that her nephew t g had crossed the ocean in this danger - "Hadn't I better take You back to our society, she was frightened for your room first?

A graphic description of the ter- rible conditions .existing in Serbia at the present time is given ` by Captain E. N.

Taffeta, ors and cool looltii>g,• though recognized only ih its sup- ple' qualities, has a certain buoy- ancy that gives it the necessary full, appearance for this snmtineIr'•s,sityil}e. A letter from abroad speaks of several new taffeta outside gaa`- ni,ents that are being made for' Parisians, one, a sport or ,sweater coat, whichever you may be pie�as= ed to call it, 'and the other an elab- orate coat to go over roclisili•,4•um- n�er afternoon gowns. The sport coat, with its wide blazer stripe's of color and white. facings, though utterly inappr^opri- ate for the city street, has the ne- cessary Seris�li, quality to cope with nat'ure's sitron�g colors of country or shore scenery. It has just the dash that shows up well on the tennis" courts, in the shady lanes Os against the white sands of the b,abh- ing beach. Such coats are also, . made in plain bright colors. The belt or sash is always tied or fas- tened, whether the coat edges are left widely open sir simply buttoned up to the chin. Something is lacking in the style of the ensemble, however, ii the wearer dues not have a rakish look- ing sport hat matching the coat in. color, Boylike straw sailor shapes with turned down brims are woven like the seat of a cane seat chair, and must certainly be worn on a; dark day or a. mounli&it night if one does not wish to be sun burn ed in polka dots. There is something naive and young' about these latter hats, with their over -bound brims, Barrow ribbon band and long. ,streamers to the waist. A coat that is between a sport and an elaborate afternoon taffeta 'oat has just been made by a New York dressmaker. It is of white taffeta, built exacely on the lines of an up to date masculine coat of to- day and modified just enough • to follow feminine contours. This saint of coat has the advantage of adapting itself to any time of clay or costume ---a thing in which American fashions still differ vain: those on the C'ontila.lt in times of Lengthening a short bolero taf- feta top by an added full skirt gives a most attractive shape for an out- side coat and one that an extram.e- ly stout woman earn wear by modify- ing the skirt part into a scant gor- ed Pare.
