There will be no weakening of the rage
for old French styles this winter. Every
epoch will be drawn upon for novelties, if
you will pardon the hull. For instance,
the Yalois will furnish us toques and pulled
fleevcs; Louis XIIL will contribute lacs
efiecis, berthas in particular; Louis XV.
will suggest flowered silks, ribbon effects,
bows and Watteau folds and jeweledbuckles.
Prom Louis XVXwe shall get, among other
things, the Marie Antoinette fichus, while
the Directory will make itself felt in the
line of large revers and pocket flap's, and
the times of Empress Josephine will be re
membered in onr girdles and low necks.
The illustration shows a very stylish
design for a gray gown, a silver
gray vicuna cloth, with passementerie
corselet and braces, the latter passing
afternoon tea seems to be gaining ground.
It has the merit of being more distinctive
at all events, as there are not many houses
in New York that could stand tbe crush of
an evening affiir if the invitations were as
general as those for a, tea.
Where a tea is given for the purpose of
introducing a debutante to society, it is be
coming an unwritten law that those of her
friends who have been invited to receive
with her should remain afterward either to
dinner, or (as was done very successfully in
the case of one younc lady "lately) for a sit
down supper; a number ot young men being
asked te stay after the reception in informal
lashion.
The dress of those who "assist" should
not be too elaborate, as it is tbe debutante
that should be the cynosure ot all eyes; it is
in better taste, therefore, for her friends to
consider this, and fo wear less conspicuous
gowns themselves.

The bow on the slipper is in vogua again.
A rAVt never look? prottier than in a velvet
slipper with a satin bow. L
rjcoFLB who do not wish to wear ails: petti,
coats and yet desire black ones, may hare
them made of black alpaca.
It is nothing nnusal to see lace and fur on
the same bonnet, as lace on winter hats is
one of the leatures of the season.
Loxo veils with striped or ombroldered
edge, falling from the wide brim of the hat,
are considered the most stylish present
Vs freshening up a black silk gown, full
sleeves, collar and broad revers of shaded
velvet are used by the best dressmakers.
Most of tbe dresses that are being made
now have no darts at the top of the skirt;
the fullness is gathered into tbe waistband.
Tux lone cloak, rich as it may Do' is un
sulted to young women, tbe semi-long
jaunty jacket belonging especially to them.
She who wears her hair in the Greek knot
now fits about the knot a gold band, the
precious metal being twisted as if it were
ribbon.
The new color for outdoor wear, at all
events is undoubtedly purple. Many of the
models in eowns, bonnets and cloaks have
come out in it.

under the belt and reaching to the bottom
of the skirt with fringed ends. The bot
tom of the skirt is also edged with the pas-i-ementcrie.
The skirt is made ot a
tingle piece of the material, taking the
width for the length. The corsage is pleated
at the neck iu tront, and the sleeves have
long cufls buttoned. The straight collar is
also pleated. The corsage parses under the
skirt, anil hooks invisibly at the back. The
front has no seam.
Another very pretty cown was in plaid
woolen material made np from breadths cut
on the cross, and trimmed with three rows
of black galoon, cut zigzag. The skirt was
sewed on a band and lined with satinet.
There were basques with long points and
they were sewed on. Both the waist and
plaited front closed under the left arm.
The bottom of the skirt had three zigzag
rows of the galoon. Floestte.
The Latest in Millinery.
In the way of hats and bonnets there is
little change; the capotes are tiny; there
i-eems scarcely space to place the bows, aig
rettes or feathers. The hats being larger,
aSord a wider field for placing ornaments,
large velvet bows always with two pointed
ends like ears feathers or fur and a buckle.
There is a bead dress, neither quite bonnet
nor hat, made of soft felt, crumpled, bent,
plaited and turned about as fancy dictates;
these are trimmed with velvet bows and
leathers, gold or jet ornaments or fancy
pins.
Black felt is the favorite material for
hats. Beaver is newer, and is often com
bined with felt. Black is more fashionable
than anything else, and next to it suede
trimmed with black. Quills, ram's-horn
feathers and horn leathers of all kinds are
the very height of fashion. Aigrettes are
mostly -placed in front. Jet is greatly used.
even on white cloth. Shaded velvet is one
ol the novelties. Dahlia color is in favor,
and brown is combined w ith violet. The
Marie Stuart is the prevailing style.in bon

curtain is threatened, which, however, will
turn up instead of down.

A FIVE-POUND NOTE.
TV-KITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH.
By GEOEGE :R SIHVCS.
Copyright, 1032,
Continued From Yateni.
"That's the worst of it," answered the
girl, her eyes filling with tears. "I don't
want to do that. I can't; and I came to see
you to-night, hoping I would be able to
stop your going to the police, and
saying how you got the note in your posses
sion." "Good Heavens!" exclaimed John Agis
tor. "You mustn't talk to me like that.
You cannot expect that I shall help you to
keep a matter like this secret "Why, it's
assisting a murderer."
"But if you know all, if I tell you all"
"My good girl, I am quite willing to be
lieve that you are innocent of any evil in
tention in the matter, but alter all, you are
a perfect stranger to me. I know nothing
about you except that I met you in Picca
dilly Circus and gave you 5L"
"No! You lent me 5, and I have hon
estlv returned it to you."
"That's trne, but the note you sent rae is
part of the proceeds of a robbery, a rob
berv committed with murderous violence."
"Well," said tbe girl, brushing her tears
away, and hardening ber face, "at anv rate
I am here and I have shown vou the notes.
I have concealed no.hing. You hare me in
your power. You can seize my arm and
call a policeman. Will you hear what I
have to sav before vou decide what you will
do?"
"Yes; I don't think I can be doing any
harm. But I don't think anything you can
tay will induce rae to alter my mind." 1
"Hear what I have to say first. Then
when I have told you, you can decide. It
is not very ninch I am going to ask you
See, here are the notes; take them."
She handed over the envelope with the

notes in it to Alister. Ha put the packet
in his pocket.
"How," she said, "you have all the
notes. To-morrowyou can take them to
Scotland Yard. I want you to take them
to-morrow, but not to-night"
"Why not to-night?"
"Because I don't want to be hunted down
to-night I don't want to be traced by tbe
police."
"What have you to fear?"
"Nothing for myself everything for my
husband."
"Your husband?"
"Yes; the man who gave me those notes
was my husband."
"Is he a dark young man?"
"So; he Is not the man who traveled with
Mr. Turner don't have any fear. I an not
asking you to shield a thiei and an assassin.
I am asking you to shield a man who has
suffered much already, who will suffer more
it you refuse my request to-night"
"Well, tell me your story. I shall know
better how to answer you when I have
heard it"
"The night I saw you I was in terrible
distress. I had been waiting about all day,
hoping to meet my husband, who had been
tiying to get a little money for me and the
child the child who was ilL He didn't
keep his appointment, and I hadn't a penny,
and I wanted to get back to tuy babv. I
heard women ask men for cab fares. I saw
money given. I thought I would ask some
one for a bus fare, lor I was worn out and
dreaded the long, weary walk home. You
looked like a gentleman, and I, with the
recklessness of despair, asked yon. You
know the rest"
"I don't understand you," broke in Alis
ter. "If you have a husband why did vou
want to wait about Piccadilly to meet him?
Why shouldn't you have waited at home
fprhim?"
"I will tell you why. And in telling you
I am trusting you with the secret of my
life. My husband has made himself liable
to tbe law. In a fit of desperation mad
ness, call it what you like he used n.oney
belonging to his "employers. He thought
his lather would enable him to pay it back
before his crime was discovered. His
father refused sent him away irom his
door with hard, cruel words; and then he
was afraid to go back to his situation
afraid to return to me and his child. He
was afraid that he would be arrested.
After he bad gone I did a little work;
kept the home together as well as I could.
But work fell off, and the night you met
me I hadn't a penny in the world. I used
to meet him once a week near the circus.
It was my night He had written to me
that ho would make one more appeal to
his father tell him of his marriage to me
of his child, and try and touch his
heart that way. I waited lor him, but he
never came, and I knew that his last effort
had failed."
"But your husband Mr. Wilson."
"His name is not "Wilson. Wilson is only
the name I used to sign my letter to you.
My name is Lillian Turner. Mv husband
is the son of the man who was robbed and
left for dead in the railway carriage."
"Good God!"
A horrible idea flashed through John
Alister's mind. He believed now that this
poor girl's husband had attacked and rob
bed his own lather, and that the wife was
trying to stop him Irom giving information
lest it should bring her husband to the
gallows.
Lillian Turner guessed what was passing
in her companion's mind.
"I know what you are thinking," she
exclaimed; "but you are wrong. Do you
think if it was so bad as that that I should
be talking with you here now? No. My
husband has made one terrible mistake in
his life: for that, if he were arrested now,
he would have to answer. But be has no
share in this terrible crlmel"
S"But, my dear young lady, it looks very
black against him. Mr. Jaines Turner saw
these notes in your father-in-law's possess
ion at the station. He took one of them to
pay for his ticket He then went on'to the
platform and into the train, .and in that
train he is found nearly murdered with tbe
notes missing. These notes were in your
husband's possession to-day. Unless he

stole them from his father, how did he get
them?"
"I'll tell you how he got them. "My
husband saw his father the night before he
left for London and made one last appeal to
him. At that interview he told his father
ail told him of his marriage, of his child,
of the foolish, wicked thin: he had done,
and of all he bad suffered. He must have
touched the old man's heart to a certain ex
tent, for he promised to think it oyer, and
told my husband to meet him on the plat
form at London Bridge the next evenintr.
Jly husband went, met his father there, and
bis father gave him 50 in notes, bidding
him go at once to his employers and place
himself at their mercy. That money my hus
band brought to me that'nlght. It was in my
possession that night To-day my husband
was to have taken 30, tbe amount he mis
appropriated, to his employers. But at the
last moment nls courage tailed him, and he
assed me to go. I went, and they were out
I came back and sent you 5 out of the 20
we had to spare. After I had posted it ray
husband came in with a white, terrified
fuce and a paper in his hand. 'My GooT
he said, 'my poor father bas been murdered,
and the murder is supposed to have been
committed for these notes. See, here are
the numbers of them in the paper. No one
knew that I went to meet him on the plat
form; no one saw him give them to me.
Jf y God my Godl what will people think?"
"I left him at home, and I came here to
see yon at on cej if possible, and tell yon
everything. Now you know. Give us till
to-morrow. To-morrow my husband will
have had time to recover his courage.
To-morrow he shall go to the police and tell
everything. If you go with this note to
night, and' put "them on his track, they
will find hiia and he will be arrested.
That will be against him, terribly against
him."
"Have yon told me everything?" asked
John Alister, looking into the girl's face.
"Everything."
"Why did your husband quarrel with his
father?"
"His father was a very stern man, and my
husband was hot tempered. They quar
reled, and his father told him to go and
earn his own living and trouble him no
more; and he went It was after he left his
father's house tbat. I met him and married
him. I'was In employment then. I was in
a milliner's shop. I earned my living as a
milliner while I could after my husband
left me."
John Alister knew instinctively that the
girl's story was true. He guessed she rfas
just a hard-working little woman, wi:h
whom the world had gone wrong, and he
felt sorry for her; but he didn't quite see
keeping the secret of those terrible 5 notes.
He felt that he would be acting,wrongly in
doing so.
"I tell vou what I will do, Mrs. Turner,"
he said, alter pause. "I'll come back with
you, U vou'll allow me, and see jour hus
band. I'm a man of the world, and may be
able to advise him."
"Verv well, come. It's a long way. "We
live at fcentish-town." ,
"We can take a cab."
Alister hailed a cab, and the strange
cbuple got into it and were driven to
Kentish-town. Mrs. Turner lived in a aids
street running out of the main road. She
opened tbe door with a latchkey, and they
went up stairs togetner.
As they entered the little sitting room a
young man of six or seven and twenty
started up horrified. He had heard the
sound of a man's footstep on the stairs.
"Don't be alarmed dear" said his wife.
"This is a friend. He is the gentleman
who had the 5 note."
Turner tank back into his chair and
bnried his face in his hands.
"My wife has told you all?"
"Yes."
"And vou won't go to the police to
nieht?" "
"Yes, I must; but I want yon to come
with me. It is the best thing you can do,
believe me."
E"or over half an hour John Alister sat in
the little room and urged the terrified man
to do the only .sensible thing possible. At
last be consented, and after a painful fare
well scene with his wife, for he believed
tbat he would be arrested and locked up,
young Turner went with John Alister to
Scotland Yard, and was shown into the
presence of the officer in charge.
John Alister commenced by handing over
to the astonished functionary a bundle of
hank notes.
"These notes," he said, "you will find
are the notes supposed to have been stolen
from Mr. Turner in the Brighton train."
The Inspector looked up sharply.
"How did they come into your posses
sion?" h Inquired. ,
"This gentleman is Mr. Turner's son
He will tell you all about them."
"Ob, you are Mr. Turner's son?" said the
officer, turning to the terrified man. "Then
I have good news for you. Your lather has
recovered consciousness and has been able
to speak."
"He has spoken he has explained that
he cave thee notes to me?"
'No; he has said very little, for he has
not been able to talk, but we know about
these notes.".
"You know"
"Yes. You need not be alarmed abont
your possession of them. Messrs. Johnson
'& Co., who I believe were at one time
your employers, have called upon us
to-dar, aud produced a letter from your
father."
"A letter from my father i"
"A letter written the night before he left
for Brighton. He informed them that he
intended on the morrow to give you a sum
of money, and tbat you would call upon
them aud make tnem a payment; and he
trusted, for the sake of their old friend
ship, that they would receive yon kindly."
"Tbank Godl" cried the son. "Then
there will be no suspicion attached to me
now."
"No. "We might have suspected you, as
tbe possession of the notes would have had
to be accounted for, and your story might
have been uncorroDorated; oat there is no
fear of tbat now. To-night we have ar
rested a man .who is the.undoubted culprit
He is a well-known bad character. Ho
must have seen those notes in your father's
possession at the ticket office, and doubtless
seeing your lather afterward in an empty
carriage,he got in with thejlutention of rob
bing him. He evidently did not see-your
father part with the notes to you. He
spent his time searching for tbo notes, and
probably the train pulling up at Red Hill
stopped him robbing your father of the
few articles of value abont him, and he left
tbe train at once and made his escape.
"We traced him by the description, and
arrested him to-night There is blood on
his clothes, and be has been identified br
the porter at Bed Hill. Leave ns your ad
dress and we will communicate further par
ticulars to-morrow."
Outsidein the open air young Turner
reeled and grasned John Alister's arm.
The sudden revulsion of feeling had been
almost too much for him. He was freed
rom a load which had been upon him for
months; free from this new terror which
had come upon him like an avalanche.
His employers had not betrayed him to the
police.
He insisted on Alister accompanying him
to his home and helping to tell the good
news to bis wife the good news thai he
need have no further fear, and that his
father was out of danger.
Mr, Solomon Turner recovered his health
andstrengthin time andappearedtogive evi
dence against the would-be assassin, who was
sentenced to a long term of imprisonment
He freely forgave his son all past peccadil
loes, and took his daughter-in-law to his
heart and home.
They are a happy, united family now,
and one ot their most constant visitors is
Mr. John Alister. But there is a tacit un
derstanding between Mr. Aliiter and Mr.
aqd Mrs. Turner, Jr., tbat no (mention
shall ever he made of the 5 not? lent at
Piccadilly Circus, which was the prologue
to what 'looked at one time like being a,
very terrible tragedy.
THE END.
A LawrenceTlllo Woman's Claim.
A lady conneoted with the "BakerCirole"
recently read a Ienethy paper before the.
club in which she claimed that Camellia
flour makes the best bread. She had tried
all tbe other good brands, bnt had to admit
tbat Camellia made the whitest and lightest
loaf of any. Another good characteristic
she said was tbat it was always so regular;
that sho never had to vary he'r mode (o bak
ing to meet ohanged conditions in the flour.
The claim cau be proven by aqy woman who
will ask ber grocer lor 'a trial Stick of
