y -a 32 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, 'MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1892. J f3g Si she finished the edge. Then a black velvet coat, relic of finery, was made to do dutv as a little jacket, cat shorter than the Eton model, slashed tip the back to the neck and edged all around with a finish of jet. The top of her skirt ihe edged about with a doable biai fold ot velvet, fitted neatly.and less than two inches wide when all finished, and this she hocked over a full waist of the pay green and blue tartan wool, checked off with a thread of scarlet in silk. The height of gaiety in the children's social season comes with the holidays, and no grown belle prepares for a term of social triumphs with more zest than do many of the little folks. The next threo weeks will bring some charming dancing parties for the little folk. So far as I am concerned I prefer to watch the children dance rather than the grown folk. It seems so much more natural for the lambkins to gambol. I never can quite persnad"e myself that a waltzing pair of grnwn-up people is not more or less a bit of comic business. These big dancers often Save a sort of sheepish air about them, as if they were not quite certain in their own minds that they weren't ridiculous. Hot so the little fairy tots of 8, 10 and 12. Their every motion i! airy, elastic and feathery; their tiny feet seem scarcely to touch the floor. They glide without effort, and seem to be doing what is natural to them. Here, in the illustration, sits the future belle of the ballroom. She is an apt pupil, and learns her steps more easilr tnan she masters latitude and longitude, or conquers the mystery ot vulgar fractions. Her gown is modeled somewhat after the prevailing Russian style, and is composed ot chestnut brown velvet, with uhitc cashmere chemis ette trimmed with brord embroidered band, the entire costume being garnstured with gray lnr in the pleasing and original manner indicated. For outdoor uses the prevailing- general use of fur lor trimming serves most admir ably to set off the peachy skins and flossy locks of the little folks. Many large felt hats too, are seen in picturesque shapes that impart an air of delicious uemureness to their lace', although it often seems to me that the solitarv chick would rejoice if its mother hadn't quite so much time and monev to furnish tine feathers for it. It is hard on the solitary chick to carry about finery enough for a whole brood. Flokktte. A 3Iado-')vr Gown. A bright girl, with more ot a deposit in her head than at her banker's, has made herself a fascinating fall costume out ot a last j ear's gown. The skirt of the gown, which was of dark wool, she cut and fitted over to the desired shape. It was a dull, reddish, rough stuff, and with a little quill ing of velvet doubled together and plaited Good Things for Scotland. That Scotch effects will continue popular through the spring season is indicated by sample lines already shown, and also by ad vance fashion reports from European cen ters. The lead jog houses are plaoing spring orders for Scotch and chintz goods, and even the new dress gimps and moss trimmings are in Scotch effects. Scotch velvets, silks and ribbons are being shown in both im ported and domestic samples. Beports from France affirm that plaid velvets are being favored with many reorders, and all indications are that fano and plaid velvets will be a feature of the season. These goods will not be confined to any age, but will be worn alike by ladies, misses aud babies. For Travel In the Country. A covert coat is an essential part of a country outfit, and occasionally these are made three-quarter length. They are not so heavy if required for walking, nor are ther so fashionable as the longer make, which are double-breasted, and often cut up at the side from the hem to the depth of a quarter of a yard. The cuffs are nrade with a tricorn piece placed diagonally on the arm. Comme U rant. Griiit, gray, brown ana baize are now very popular lor woolens. A qibl's coat of red cloth Is trimmed with gold and black braid. For velvet gowns and cloaks, dark green, red and black will be most employed. Sailor suits are worn by girls or all ages. Tliey are invaluable as school and play cos tumes. Girls' street ooats are braided and fin ished with one or more capes, three or four not being unusual. The Russian velvets now in favor are only those of the richer grades. The lines are a thin cord or silk over a dark woolen back ground. A LEAr-TiAR novelty in the Jewelry line is a stick-pin In the form or an interrogation point. Another is In the form of a slipper, with a ohalu lrom heel to toe. Corduroy cloth in its various browns is much liked for medium-length winter cloaks. They aie trimmed with brown fur and, in some designs, with rosettes or brown velvet ribbon. The turban is rairly fashionable. The most approved style fits rather closely to the head, and lecalls the old day when a saucer-shaped head-gear without trimming was looked upon as quite the thing.

SAXBY, Author of "TheLads of Lunda, eta" Copyright, 1S92, by the Author. CHAPTER L "There's something wrong in that house," X said to myself, after I got into my study, and sat down to smoke a pipe before going to bed. I had been dining at the house of a patient, Cecil Harrington, and had spent a very pleasant eeuing, notwithstanding the impression I bad carried away. I am afraid we doctors contract a habit of suspecting the family cupboard of con taining a skeleton when the livers, brains, or blood of the household do not explain to our entire satisfactiou the symptoms of its various members. "We know better than either clergyman or lawyer how mucn of physical disease is the direct product ot wrong done somewhere, aud we soon learn to take tor granted, in a large measure, that the root of an obscure complaint springs from somebody's sin. The little party of 6ix around Mr. Har rington's dinner-table had been what one might call a lamily party. There was our host, jut recovered from a tedious illness which had worried me more than I liked to acknon ledge, because it seemed so trifllin g and vet would not be exorcised so readily as I expected. The seat at the head of the table was charmingly filled by Mrs. Har rington, young, beautiful and possessed oi a pensive manner which had a curious fas cination in it. I occupied the seat on her right hand. Mr. Harrington's cousin, a handsome, dark-eyed American, was on her left. Two brothers of Mrs. Harrington, home from abroad for a few days, were on either side of Cecil. Although I had not been many months in the city of Hartford, I had known Mr. Har rington before, for we had been at college together; and, though never very confi dential, we had liked each other well enough to reach that point in iriendship where titles aud surnames cease to be used, and we were "Cecil" and "Edwin" to each other. The talk around the table was blithe and general, for all were in good spirits; yet once when I asked a question of my lair hostess she replied at random, and when I looked at her inquiringly I noticed a curi ous frightened expression in her eyes, which were turned on Amorv Rhodes at the moment The expression ot his eyes I could not mistake; it was a look ot pity and ten derness and profound admiration. The im pression made on my mind was gone in a moment, but it came back later to add Its weight to other tnings. Mrs. Harrington's brothers left the table with her, and Mr. Rhodes fell into a brown study while Cecil and I continued a little small talk. We weie evidently not a congenial trio at iuu .iuic,uiu a. buuu ruse 10 ioiiow lue I others to the drawing room. Rhodes got I up with alacrity, and as we walked to the door our host w"hispered to me: "A word, please, Edwin. " His cousin went out at once, and Harrington said to me quickly: "I want to see you alone, and at your house not here; fix a time soon, Edwin, soon, for heaven's take!" "To-morrow evening after 8 will that do?" He nodded. As we ascended the stairs I asked: "Are you feeling unwell again? You look very well to-night" "lam quite well. It's not that I'll tell you all to-morrow." He looked at me with so much misery in his face that I was completely startled. But he did not mean me to ask another question, so went up stairs three steps at each bound. He opened the drawing room door for me and revealed Mrs. Harrington standing on the hearthrug, with her face lit by a most beautiful smile, which was shining full on Amory Rhodes. The moment we came in she dropped into her seat with a shrinking air, and the smile, gave place to that pensive expression I spoke of. I had seen very little of Mrs. Harrington until the occasion of her husband's iljness threw us a good deal together, and during that time I was greatly pleased with the affection and solicitude she displayed to ward him. Nothing could exceed her at tention, which he repaid with loverly de votion. Tbey had been married five years, but they seemed as fond of each other as if it were still honeymoon days with them. I was therefore more than astonished when I heard him say in a harsh voice, "Why are you not practicing that new song, Mable? Ton know I wanted vou to accompany me to-night" I think I know it well enough, dear," she answered, fanlteringly, and rose to 50 to the piano; but he said in the same angry tones "I know you don't know it well enough, so yon need not trouble," and he left the room. He was only gone a minute, and on his return be was as gentle and courteous as usual for the rest of the evening. But a cloud seemed to have settled on his wife's spirit, and she spoke very little. I noticed that Rhodes kept near her. Once or twice I saw them exenange a glance which seemed to indicate some mutual "nndnrsinnHinr. " and both seemed to be watching Harrington closely. YeJ I solemnly declare that noth ing in their manner suggested to me anv suspicion of an amour or anvthing of that sort But in my study, later, I repeated again to myself: "There is something wrong in that house." CHAPTER IL At 8 o'clock on the following evening Harrington was nshered into my study. I had turned the lights low, and was loafing in my arm chair. I knew how much ex ternal things influence people. It would be mora easy for my patient to speak frankly in the dim light with a Inxy friend smoking aud listening, than if he had to face a sharp-eyed doctor, reading every feature by the help of three gas jets. He took the other arm chair I pulled np for him, and he did not speak for a minute or two. My arrangements for facilitating confidential talk had put me at a disad vantage, for I could not study his ex-' pression as I should have liked. As I re marked, "You wanted to consult me?" I glanced at him, but could not read his face. His voice was as olear and cool as possible, when he replied, "Yes, I want to consult you. You know how happy I have been with Mabel? Did it ever occur to you, Edwin.thatshe my wife is a hypocrite, a beautiful fiend false to me, and worse than false?" "Heavens! Cecii! "What horrible words," was all I could say. Mv affected indolence was gone in a moment I dropped my pipe, sat boll upright and stared in his face. Then I saw that he was very pale and his brows were knit together like one who is putting powerful restraint upon his tem per. The working of his features was in strong contrast to his voice, which was calm and measured. "You are surprised, of course," he said. "Anybody wonld be; but I must repeat that she is the veriest sham that walks this earth! And my cousin Amory Rhodes is the blackguard who has waked" the devil in that beautiful witch." I knew then what rock" he had split upon and I exclaimed, "OhI Cecil.for God's sake don't let the demon of jealousy get aboard of you! Because, perhaps, you have seen your cousin's undisguised admiration for your wife we all admire her, you know and her natural liking for such admiration. so you have jumped to a conclusion which is most unworthy of you, and does your wife (so lately your devoted nurse) a shameful injustice." I spoke hotly, because I believed he was wrong; but he did not resent my words. He merely smiled in amelancholy way and said, "I quite expected you to look at it so. You could not know as I da You have not had to mark, as I have, a thousand and one trifles which goto prove that a wall of di vision has grown up between us. Yon have not seen us together before last night I asked you on purpose, and I know for I watched you that you noticed more than one incident which confirms my statement Is that not so Edwin?" For the life of me I could not deny that I had thought there was something unusual in the action of those two to each other; but I was emphatic in declaring my conviction that their secret if secret there was was not that which Harrington affirmed it to be. "You did not know, ot course," he re sumed, "that Rhodes was very fond oi Mabel Hynde years ago. It was that which sent him back to America in such a hurry, and I never supposed he would come here again. But he has come; and he has allured her from me, although he told me he had got over his old fancy. D himi" The last two words were spoken as coldly as everv other word, and as I had never, during even the peculiar experience ot a doctorj heard that imprecation spoken without heat, it made me shudder. I said no word, and Harrington went on. "The wjfe who can be so lured away is not worth much not worth troubling one's heart about; and yet I loved Mabel, and I love her in spite of it Moreover, no man or woman shall wrong me, and get off scot free I" Then he leaned near me, and whis pered, "Edwin, you puzzled me over my illness. You could not make it out; some of the symptoms baffled you. I will explain these. I was being poisoned yes, poisoned by my wife." "Oh, this is awful too awful I" I ex claimed, springing to my feet, and turning up the gas; for I could not longer bear the shadowy light and the cold voice speaking of the blackest of crime!!. Harrington rose when I did, and we stood for a minute gaz ing into each other's white faces. Then I recovered myself and said, "What proof have you of this? I do not mean such proof as may be suggested bythednvil to a jealous husband, but such proof as would satisfy a judge and jury of practical men." He drew from his pocket a small phial, with the label of a New York ehemist on it; and the bottle contained a poison so said the label on it "Where did Mabel get this from?" he said in the same cold whisper as before. "Did she send to America for it; or did an American who is now at my bouse bring it? Why was the bottle concealed in her ward robe? And why did she always insist upon giving me my medicine and beef tea her self? Can you explain these things, Ed win? Is that not proof enough?" "I really don't know what to say or think," I said at last "Why have you told me this?" "To secure a competent witness, of course," was the prompt reply. "But I have notnritnessed anything," I answered hurriedly. "I don't want to spy on a woman, even if she is a wicked one." "I am confiding in my doctor," said Ce cil, "and he must hear and be guided by what I tell him." I do not need to follow our conversation further except to state that I was gradually led to accept my friend's statements, and to agree to say nothing to anyone, but watch and help him when needful. Yet when I saw him out at the door I oould not help saying, "Seems to me the shortest and most manly course you can pursue is to kick your cousin out your door, and tell your Wile's brothers to take her to Bombay with them." He shook his head and walked away. CHAPTER IIL Among my letters "taext morning was a little note in a delicate feminine handwrit ing, end it was signed "Mabel Harrington." She wrote asking me to call next day, and the hour she mentioned was a time when I knew Cecil would be at his offioe in the city; therefore he could not be ill. I might not have commented on the time chosen but for mr conversation with her husband, which had led me, of, "course, to mark any peculiarity in Mrs. Harrington's conduct I-wondered what she wished to say tome, for she wis never ill, and I could not sup pose that she wanted to talk of Cecil's health. I devoutly hoped the wife was not foing to take me into her confidence, as the usband bad done; but I made up my mind if she complained of Cecil that I should speak plainly to her of Mr. Rhodes. As I drove np to the door; I saw a man walk away from it I easily recognized him as Amory Rhodes. I was exasperated, and not at all in a family-physician frame of mind when I was shown into Mrs. Harring ton's parlor. ' She came to meet me with a kind of tremble in her air and face and figurer. I can't describe her appearauce any other way, but I thought, as I took her shaking hand and looked at the graceful form vi brating with some strange emotion, "If this creature is a beautiful fiend, capable of the most deliberate cold-blooded crimes, she certainly can act the timid, tender woman to perfection." "How good ot you to come just when I said, doctor," she faltered, and as we sat down she added, "I wanted to talk to you alone when when Ceoil was away." She stopped, as if unable to say more, and I replied: "I suppose yon did not wish your husband present as you asg me to call in office hours." "I am afraid he would be angry if he knew I had sent for you or spoken to you." A long pause, I would not help her a bit I was becoming very angry with her, for there was Jjing on the table bv her side a bunch of fresh roses and a photograph of Amory Rhodes. Both flowers and pnoto graph" had quite reoently been laid there, for the papers in which they had been folded were lying beside them. I am afraid my silence made her more nervous still, for her color weut and came, and her breathing was much, quickened. At last she said, "Doctor, I am very anx ious about Cecil." "Why so?" I asked bravely. She glanced timidlv at me and replied, "He is so what shall I call it fitful so strange. He never used to be cross with me, never!" and then the tears came, not in a burst, or like the way a woman cries when she feels herself ill used; but in slow, heavy drops, tbaf fell with a kind ot splash on the roses over which she was by that time leaning. "Do you give Cecil no cause for being what ybu call cross?" I asked a little sharply. To my surprise she answered meekly, "No; that I am aware of. I try all I can to please him except except I can't ex. plain, I fear, how his strange wavs have made me different, somehow. I feel fright ened at times. I don't like to be as affec tionate as I used to be and want to be, be cause he says I am only pretending. It is so hard on me, I could have borne anvthing but that" Still I was rigid and unhelpful, God par don me, and when she could she resumed, "Doctor, I often fear Cecil can't be ," A longer pause than before. Then she asked hesitatinslv: "You were sometimes puz zled over his illness. He did not seem to you very ill, you said, and yet he did not get well as you expected. Did you never think that perhaps his mind might be a Iltll" warped off Us balance?" "Never 6uch a thought occurred to me, Mrs. Harrington, nor do I believe it would have occurred to any doctor." "Ab, that is the difficulty. Always when he is physically unwell, the mental dis turbance disappears. But it is there, doctor; it is there. Poor Cecil can hide it from everybody, but I know, I know." "Do you wish me to infer that yon con sider your husband out of his mind?" I asked sternly. "I must confide in you, doctor," she said, sobbing; "there is nothing else to da I have kept the secret for a long time, be cause I could always pretend to Cecil that I did not know, aud while he did no one any harm I saw no reason to telL But now he has become suspicious of me and others: and lam so afraid he will break out some aay." This storv of hers was as startling to me as his had been, and I could not credit it. "Cecil is the last man I should suspect of going wrong in his mind," I said, " and I do not think you have told me anything to prove it. If he has noticed anything in your conduct to make him 'cross' or 'sus pect' that does not indicate mental disor der on his part. You must give me an in. stance before I can for one moment credit such an appalling statement, Mrs. Har rington." She wrung her hands. "I wish I could explain without seeming to blame Cecil. It seems disloyal of me to expose him to you; and yet I must, doctor. I am so afraid or what may happen. He shuts himself into his studio all night Often I go to the door and I hear him speaking as if to me or someone else. Oh, such horrible things he says, and in auob angry tones. Often I hear him stamp and fling things about as if be were fighting someone. It terrifies me." 2b be continued to-morrow.
