This style is especially adapted to her, as it makes her appear a point well worthy of imitation! On this particular gown the hip swath ends in pailletted stole ends, drip ping with gold fringe.

Yet it may be as well that you should know whither we go. We shall now journey south through the woods until we come out upon the Christ- church road, and so onward, hoping to-night to reach the castle of Sir William Montacute, Earl of Salisbury, of which Sir Nigel Loring is constable There we shall bide, and it is like enough that for a month or more you may find us there, ere we are ready for our voyage back to France.™ It was hard indeed for Alleyne to break away from these two new but hearty friends, and so strong was the combat between his conscience and his inclinations that he dared not look round, lest his resolution should slip away from him. The path which the young clerk had now to follow lay through a magnifi- cent forest of the very heaviest timber, where the giant boles of oak and of beech formed long aisles In every di- rection, shooting up their huge branches to bulld the majestic arches of Nature's own cathedral, It was very still there In the heart of the woodlands. The gentle rustie of the branches and the distant cooling of pigeons were the only sounds which broke In upon the silence, save that once Alleyne heard afar off a merry call: upon a hunting bugle and the shrill yapping of the hounds He pushed on the quicker, twirling his staff merrily, and looking out at every turn of the path for some sign of the old Saxon residence.
