Fairbank Oepyrtelit by th* Bobba-Mcrrill Co. CHAPTER XVIII --13-- '•*, • '. The End of the Rainbow. ""Xtm came Into Chicago armed with • brave determination to make the best of things, but she expected the worst, for Peter's panegyrics had not realty shaken her belief that the United States had but one city, which, In daring all for love, she had left behind her. No pioneer wife adventuring Into the prairie wilderness was more sternly courageous. The bride and groom sfjKsnt the last night of their journey In Detroit, and arrived in Chicago at sunset of a clear September afternoon. They had been running through rusty woods where pale cream-colored sandhills thrust their stark crests through brownish undergrowth; It was, Ann thought,/too strange to be beautiful, and yet she looked out of her window eagerly. Suddenly .the train burst from enveloping trees, and ran along t&e shore of Lake Michigan. It lay on the right-hand side of the railroad, vast" and blue and unfathomable; Its waters stretched to the farthest horizon, yet lapped the low embankment where the tracks were laid. In no time at all, Peter was urging Ann to look at the other side, where scattered buildings testified to the beginnings of fhe town, and presently, the train roared on to a trestle, while she looked, and gasped. Ttf her right was the lake, already familiar to her; to her left there lay another sheet of water, a little lagoon, which stretched from the high embankment over which the railroad ran, to a distant street. On the street beyond, dignified houses with fronts of yellowish limestone stood singly, sumranded by trees. All day long the sky * had ..been poignantly blue, with great clouds like continents adventuring over its trackless expanse, but at sundown this pellucid quality was clouded by an impalpable dust. The sun set royally, In banks of fire-edged cloud ; the whole west was flushed to orange and rosa. The car was filled with colored light, that turned all white things pink-- Ann's handkerchief and Peter's formidable collar, with high points which dog into his cheeks. "See!" Ann cried involuntarily, "it la high tide." They laughed together over her mistake, and pointed out to each other sails on the blue expanse. As they watched, the clouds on the eastern horizon took on an enchantipg rosecolored reflection, and the tops of the amiable waves mirrored it, although their depths remained deeply blue. "But it is very elegant, Peter," Ann •aid in a low voice. She had not ex pected to find anything so metropolitan In the new city of but one hundred fifty thousand inhabitants. "Isn't It?" He was frankly triumphant. "Perhaps we'll live there some day. 'Just be patient, Ann. I'll work. You've never seen anything like the way ril work." "Well work together," Ann declared stoutly. Indeed, she wanted no better fate. There was time before supper for a brief survey of the environs of the hotel, so Ann and Peter left their bags and walked aimlessly about In the ^ rich light, over echoing wooden sidewalks, and up and down innumerable „ little flights of steps built to accommodate the uneven grades of the •treetsi They went into a small park across from their, hotel, and found a ch with a good view of the late ernoon driving which animated Michigan avenue. Ladles with bouffant skirts leaned elegantly back in comfortable family rockaways; their horses were humanely draped with fly nets, i and the hired men who drove them lolled at ease upon the front •eats. Gentlemen whose sporting equipment reminded Ann of Mr. Renneslyer's, drove pairs of, swift longtailed horses to high buggies with great canopy tops folded behind, or rode briskly down the street on horseback, in long, light checked trousers, high hats and dark coats, exactly as they did in New York. Ann was amazed. wish Fanny could see this!" she Mclalmed, from time to time. - After supper Peter suggested the play at McVlcker's theater, but Ann begged to go Instead to Colonel Wood's museum, where a transparency "Strung across the street advertising. Mid picturing, the largest woman in patted her hand surreptitiously. "Of I'oanw we are," he murmured consolingly. "I'll make the money and you can spend it. That's ^ partnership, isn't it?" At thii ttie bride's eyes filled with foolish tears, and Teter looked at'her in chopfallen alarm. "If you feel like that," he said hastily, "of course we'll go. We'll go right now." Tm--I'm silly, I know." Ann sat blinking rapidly to get rid of her tears, fearful of fellow-breakfasters' interest in them. She smiled mistily. She had won her point, but, although she said nothing, farther, a slight feeling of soreness remained. When they arrived at the Shop, however, she understood l'eter's reluctance, for they had left the genteel neighborhood long before they came to It. The streets in that quarter were In bad condition; Ann's new boots, and even the white stockings above them, were well plastered with mud, while on the corner was an abandoned wagon with the sign "No bottom here" humorously hong from its half submerged body. "Peter--how shocking! I think It is very shiftless not to put down pavements." ~~ "Can't do everything all at once," her husband responded cheerfully, as he eased his key into a rusty lock. Ann was secretly aghast at the mean appearance of Peter's heralded place of business. Inside, three years' accuniulation of dust lay on the small forge and the workbench, and cobwebs draped the dirty windows. Peter showed his wife a rough little model which stood on the table. "Know what that Is?" She shook her head; somehow she found It Impossible to speak. "It's an Improvement on the reaper machine. I h£ld off enlisting for two months to finish it. When I had it done I carried It over to Cyrus McCormlck." Peter laughed grlmly.v "He told me they'd already perfected that idea, and he took me out into the works and showed it to me in the making." How outrageous! Couldn't you sue him, or something?" Peter laughed Indulgently. In a bride this ignorance was charming. He Kissed Ann Delightedly Amldthe Confusion of His Little Shop. * and he kissed Ann delightedly, amid the confusion of his little shop. It quickly became evident that Peter's small capital could not long stand the strain of hotel life, and he suggested that possibly they would better board for a while. "It would give us time to look around," he said hopefully. Ann was, however, horrified at the idea. "I should hate boarding," she said. "Nothing to do all day, and really, Peter, It Isn't very genteel." After some search, they rented a small frame cottage near the most desirable marble front district, on the west side of the city. Settling proved pur# Joy. Peter was a miracle of efficient energy. He painted woodwork and floors with a speed which so fascinated Ann that she could only stand and watch him. secretly hoped for a piano, but as Peter had apparently never considered such au extravagance, she said nothing about It. The mysteries of economical housekeeping .staggered her; she seemed to have learned nothlng-durlng the years in which she had charge of her guardian's house, and she wondered at the smugness with which she had assumed that telling an efficient cook what they would eat three times a day was all there was to it. When the cottage was finally equipped, and Ann had demonstrated that she was the equal of any coal stove, the two yoqng people facedvthe solemn fact that theii; honeymoon •'•as ended. That night before Peter went back to his shop they had a ttnal celebration. It was late when they came out of the theater. A mist almost heavy enough to be called a rain had drifted into the town from the swampy prairies to the west, and Ann delayed to turn1 up her silken skirts, in spite of the fact that Peter Impatiently pressed her to make haste lest they miss the car. He hurried her off, ominously silent while she chattered of the play, and when they rounded the .corner the street-car had Irfdeed started. It Mjas perhaps a block away from them, and the homeward-bound horses were making good, time through the empty streets. Peter ran savagely after It, and might have overtaken It, had not Ann proved unequal to the pace. He ran on for a fe^ yards after Bhe dropped behind, and then abandoned the chase. He stood waiting for her to overtake him. "D--n !** he said ldudly. "You've made me miss the car." Ann looked at him openmouthed, He spoke as though no tie of affection bound them, as though he could hate her, his "Always late, women," he scoldedr* "There won't be another car for an hour, this time of night." "Could I know that?" A m demanded, plucking up some ,-of her spirit, and facing him defiantly. "Why couldn't you hurry? Here I have to go to work early tomorrow morning. \ . . Where you going?" "I shnll walk." Her voice was infinitely frigid. "You'll do nothing ofr the sort. This mist--It's going to rain. . . . Aanle! Stop, I tell you!" "Take your hand off me I" She shook Peter off, and stalked away from him; she walked on rapidly, alone In the dark streets, thinking bitterly that It was for this she had left her guardian. Subconsciously she listened for Peter's footsteps, but she heard no sound, and concluded that he had let her go without him. In a few moments there came a great rattling, and a clatter of a horse coming toward her over the rough pavement. A Carriage swung furiously to the curb, and she swerved nervously away as a man burst from Its dark interior, but at once she knew it was Peter. He seized her roughly, and drew her, unresisting, Into the musty privacy of the hack. He kissed her wet face tempestuously. "Annie! Don't cry. I've got such a devil of a temper! I'm sorry. Don't sob like that! I never know what I say when I'm angry! It was all my fault. Annie, kiss me!" She kissed him, her frozen anger melted by the fire of his contrition, and In reconciliation she found a new stimulation to love. ... It was late when she went to sleep. . . . Long after Peter was deep in slumber, she lay, very still and wide-eyed In the dark, thinking things over. S^e bore no riancor; her forgiveness was complete, hut she recognized something in her life, with which she must reckon. . . . Peter's temper. . . . Presently she slipped one finger Into the loose circle of her sleeping busj band's hand, and yet the touch did Lot entirely reassure her. In the morning Peter was all, sunny good humor. He went off to woek .reluctantly, and yet she knew that he was eager to start again. For the first 'few weeks Ann whs completely absorbed In her housevgork. In a month she had learned to have the essentials of a simple meal all ready at the same time, but she never "S became more than a fair cook. She Three meals a day were the only 1 worked all day. Just as Peter did, but drawbacks to all this exciting happioften she walked to the shop with ness. Ann found that she was very stupid about things like keeping up the kitchen fire, and remembering to put potatoes on to boll; she couid not seem to consider thejp Important, and yet Peter evidently did. At first he did mostgOf the serious cooking himself, white his wife looked on, and offered hlri knives and spoons at the wrong moment. It was all delightfully a reusing, but she had a nervous suspicion that later something more exacting would be demanded of her. They spent one glorious afternoon in the shops, selecting the simple necessaries for their housekeeping. They chose a white china set, with a hair line of gold on the edge, and they priced rosewood parlor suites exhaustively, before they gave up the idea of oneas hopelessly beyond thelrmeans. They bought a square of flowered carpet, However, to lay over the brown oilcloth, a walnut whatnot on which to arrange bric-a-brac, when they should have any, and th,ey really plunged on a butternut bedroom set. Ann had him In the morning, and came home laden with packages from the cheaper stores off Hoisted street. It was not, it is true, what she had Imagined her life with Peter would be. on the morning they had discussed It In Washington square, #but after two months of marriage Ann felt Infinitely removed from the girl she had been. She was all wife; her life hung on Peter. The two laughed at each other like children; they played foolish games together, and called each ottyer ridiculous names. In due time Ann's trunk arrived Her things were Just as she had left them, but there was not a word from the Cortlandts. Peter came In for dinner, to find her brooding, and his meal was not ready. He said unkind things of the Cortlandts, while she fried his chops. About her the war roared on, -end now Interest centered In the Army of the Tennessee, for the western newspapers printed little of the exploits of the Army $of the Potomac. Often I'eter took her to Union mass mi Ings. They stood swaying back forth' with the crowd in the Court- House square on the night that George Hoot's "Battle Cry of Freedom" was sung for the first time. Every one Joined In the chorus, and Ann pat all the fervor of her nature Into It, but except for fiery moments like this, the war seemed to her remote. It wai dwarfed by her personal experience. In November she heard from Fanny. "Dear Ann: * "I write tbla tetter Jo yon with great apprehension, for my mother hfcs strictly1 forbidden further Intercourse between us. and" you know mama, Ann. I am Just scared to death, but I cannot get married without telling you about it aI am to wed my cousin Hendricks on the twentieth day of December, when he is to have ft leave of absence from the Army of the Potomac, for a whole fortnight. "I am to be wed In your white satin dress, which y. left behind yon. Yonr other fine clothes my uncle, who Is now returned from Europe, directs shall be sent you, even the black velvet, which surely Is more suited to a New York matron than to the wife of a Chicago mechanic. "How could you so misbehave yourself, Ann, when my uncle had even made your wedding settlements, and that good young count so adored you? My mother says blood will tell, and I suppose she is right, but I hope yo* are happy, even with I'eter. "With lore, "FANNY." » Until she knew her guardian had returned and had made no effort to communicate with hers Ann was not aware of how confidently she had counted on his doing so. Even the fact that Mr. Cortlnndt's sllenCfc shut her off with her husband, was an inadequate consolation. She could not rouse herself to any Interest in Fanny's marriage, although she was Indignant at her slighting reference to Peter. "They still do not think you ftre good enough for me," she told him. "It's laughable." Things hnd been going better with Pqter of late. Ann was enormously prOTid of him, every day that passed burled deeper that remote time when she had been his superior. He took Fanny's letter and slowly read It. "It's natural enough, I suppose," he said, "but things will go hard with me If I don't make more of a success of my life than your Captain Renneslyer does of his." He glanced over the note again, briefly. Then he said, "That velvet dress, Annie, why don't you send It back to her for a wedding present?" It was only the next day she looked out of her front window to see a station hack cgpie laboring down the street. Ann was sorry for the laboring horses, •'but her Interest was Impersonal until, unexpectedly, they stopped before her gate, and a sudden premonition turned her white. A hand on the door handle inside the lowered glass had a familiar look, and she could see the sharp lines of a'^llk hat In the dusk of the Interior. She rushed to the front door and flung It • wide, and there was her guardian In her open gate. He paused at the bottom of the short flight of steps, looking up at her, too agitated to move. The sun was in his eyes; Ann's red hair was like a nimbus about the pearl white of her face. In the Instant that they stood gazing at each other, their old companionship was re-established without a word. She aroused herself and ran down to him; she flung her arms around him and kissed him; she found that she was In tears, bat It made no difference. Mr. Cortlandt said, "My dear, to see you again!" She thought how old he (poked, and broken. She tried; to help him up her steep steps, and once inside the honse she told him how sorry she \vas that she should have disappointed him. Mr. Cortlandt brushed all this away with a brusque gesture. "Never mind that, Ann," he said. "Are you happy? That Is what I came to Chicago to find out." Ann clung tightly to his hand. "Now that I have.jou again, I am," she assured him. "I can't tell you about Peter; you will have to see for yourself. He Is Jyst right for me, uncle. Those othert--somehow they were all wrong." ' "You are In love with him, then?" Ann's wide eyes laughed. "Yes," she said, "I shouty say I am. I am awfully In love with him. Of course Fashion Changes aris American women are timid about adopting any radically new ideas In the matter of dress. Such is the opinion given recently by a famous couturier of Paris. But he said also that she will go far in expressing the latest styte, once her approval is won. This, after all, Is the view of only one authority on the subject, and may be taken for whatever it Is worth, observes a fashion correspondent in the New York Times. It is quite certain that the American woman has demonstrated to the world that she has a mind and a standard of her own, and an individuality which she desires to express. Moreover, she has given such evidence of artistic ability In designing her clothes and Such taste and distinction In wearing them thfat the creators of fashions tnow It Is well worth their while to work for her favor. Occasionally there are modes that become'established and find such favor that they endure, season after season, THE "DARK STAGE" IS CONFUSING other story In which an actor lost Ms bearings on a darkened stage.

The slipover, the one-piece gown, the tunic, the beltless gown that requires no corset to give It form--all of these, making for comfort, have been beloved by women of all weights and ages. ., 'Introduces New Features. Yet it is not after this manner, that the Old World moves, and the changes must come. The ideas offered in advance are somewhat incidental an may not be regarded as establishing anything wholly different. They may vary only slightly the styles that have been acceptable for a season or more. Those now shown are modifications in models that will serve to Introduce some new features in gowns appropriate for either late winter or early spring. The evolution of certain ideas is worth studying. The tunic in some Is obviously lengthened with a flounce, pinlted, straight or circular. In others It is shortened to the line of a hiplength blouse. Jenny has done an attractive, practical frock of this description that will be popular with young women of slender figure, the model being carried out in crepe, plain for the skirt, which is in two tiers, apd figured for the tnnic blojise, which la loosely belted with a of the plain goods, that also forms cuffs, elbow depth. One of Molyncans' latest models is carried out In broadcloth, now seldom seen, the skirt being plain and narrow,' the tunic plain and straight, with bateau ne£k and long sleeves, unconfined at the wrist. The skirt of tha blouse Is open several Inches at the front, and extends to the knees. A piece of ermine ornaments the belt as a buckle and trims the neck and sleeves. Brown satin Is the material used by Premet In a youthful model shown with a tunic blouse and skirt, made with one deep flounce, the hip belt being embroidered in silk floss of the same color, and the cuffs and collar being of cream lace. It is a fancy of Premet's to employ tty? tubelike gown and to build upon It flounces or bands, a favorite design having a flounce, hip deep, sometimes plaited, often gathered full, and held tight to the figure a* the top. From Martial et Armand are sepje charming gowns of this character," each made with the blouse absolutely straight to a point far below the hips, with shallow open neck, and sleeveless, or with very short sleeves. Upon each of these foundations a flounce or flounces is built. One sm&rt model has three straight full ruffles of the material trimming the gown to a point between knee and waist These gowns are Invariably made of crepe de chine, crepe marocain or satin and are equally serviceable for afternoon wear with au outer wrap or fur piece, or for any daytime occasion itFa warm climate. Deep Flounce Is Used. Renee Is {(bother Parisian authority from whom come a number of attractive mldseasou frocks in which the deep flounce Is featured, usually In narrow plaits. One Jeune fllle model is established in dark blue satin cfepe, plaited from collar to hem, the tunic being slightly bloused and belted In a deep waistline. Patou elects to use the circular flounce, whether in one deep ruffle or in a number, and sends to a New York house a pretty frock that will Illustrate the idea in, several variations. It Is of gray crepe marocain, the skirt narrow and tubelike, and trimmed with bias ruffles to the waist, which is plain and loosely bloused. A straight loose coat of the same material is trimmed about the bottom, with two of the ruffles, which qlso finish the long sleeves of easy width. Premet, who is showing In models so many ruffled effects, has also several in which a slight change in the drapery varies the line of the gown, and this is done with equal charm in evening and daytime frocks. One especially smart, simple model Is In otfe piece, the skirt being drawn about the figure from the back toward the front at one side, where it is lifted and held with an ornament, to fall in a slight cascade. A soft turnover collar finishes the gown at the throat, and the sleeves are tight and long; extending well over the hand. Simplicity is the keynote of all the gowns shown by French artists, and even those elaborated to the extent of flounces and drapery are distinguished by the one feature, whatever it may be; for trimming of any sort is used with much restraint. Among the wellknown designers, Cheruit shows extreme simplicity, almost severity, de> pending upon some startling note to mark distinction, especially In evenisfc gowns. From this house hav? come several designs showing radical changes in outline, some quite sensational. It Is Cheruit who most daringly offers the pannier or extended hip trimming, and drapesj tlje material low on the frock, down frranrtlia knee.

Few of the models from this artist have the perfectly plain skirt, and In almost all of them the material Is draped and some embroidery !s Introduced. Among Lanvin's evening dresses the most conspicuously successful model is the wide-skirted "robe de style," with the little tight basqu^bodlce which has'so securely captured* the fancy of fashionably gowned women and which Lanvln has expressed elaborately and with more cachet than any other conturlere. ' These gowns of quaint style have formed *he one -contrasting note to the accepted conventional modes, and they promise to have a lasting vogue. The universal popularity of the topcoat, an outer wrap of some sort to be worn with every type of gown but the suit, has tended to lighten the weight of the dress Itself, and few models are shown in any material heavier than satin, crape or oae of the new silks.
