Leonora West's Loved
CHAPTER XXX,--(Cont'd.)
Lady Lancaster was pttrpie with
rage and dismay. 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

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.

A graphic description of the ter-
rible conditions .existing in Serbia
at the present time is given ` by
Captain E. N. Bennett, commis-
siosier in Serbia for the Britisili Red
Cross Society and St, :lobes Am
bulanen Association. Those who
read what Captain Bennett says
about the terrible ravages of ty-
phus and other diseases in the
cities and towns of Serbia: cannot
fail to realize that urgent assis-
tance must be given if the lives, of
the civilians a,s wela ,as the soldiers
are to be saved, and if the infection
is not to spread all over the world,

though recognized only ih its sup-

A letter from abroad speaks of
several new taffeta outside gaa`-

Parisians, one, a sport or ,sweater

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

ing beach. Such coats are also, .
made in plain bright colors. The

tened, whether the coat edges are

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

adapting itself to any time of clay
