He proceeded, if possible, with more caution than before, so sharpened had been his faculties by the recent danger. He sculled on and on. The short winter afternoon drew to its close, and evening Stuart had no indication of this be- d the darkening of the gray fog about im. The exertion of sculling began to seem intolerable, yet he dared not stop, lest he lose his course. Then, faint and far away, he heard a familiar note. He listened intently, and made out two blasts in close sequence. Risking a deflection from his course, he crouched in the bottom of the boat, shield- ing in the hollow of his hand a lighted | match while he timed the sounds by his watch. A three-second blast, a silent in- terval of twenty-seven seconds, another three-second blast, and he knew that the siren of the island lighthouse was calling to him.

DAILY THOUGHT. Beauty is nature's brag, and must be shown In courts and feasts and high solemnities, Where most may wonder at its workmanship. — Milton. To the woman with the small dress allowance there is a rosier prospect than ever, and it is embodied in the pret- ty cotton imitations of foulard. irs is a softness of fabric and and a clear- ness of design and, tco, an excellence of pattern that places them very nearly on ia pa with silk itself. t is quite possible to so trim the cotton foulard with good linen lace or with fold- ed bias linen of a plain color that it will serve the pu e of a foulard, and there is no objection to doing this if their be no tawdriness in the design aad orna- mentation. For instance, it would be an evidence of poor taste to put nich lace or i satin upcn the cotton foulard and to | make cf it a Co ed model suit foulard.

On the beach the latter is undoubtedly the more jaun- ) looking, but in the water—and, in- eed, after a wetting—the neat square neck is the most desirable. A bathing suit of good mohair (black and blue) made in semi-princess fashion, the full, plain skirt trimmed around the bottom with a band of white mohair,out- lined with black and white fancy braid, would be serviceable. A well shaped panel placed down the front, and the belt to correspond with the skirt trimming would be a desirable finish.
