When :ewing uon silk and satin, use fine needles in place of pins to fasten your patterns in place, and baste with sewing silk in- stead of thread.

' Mr. Hawkes gathered up his papers and in a [one of regret ventured: “Then there is nothing more to be said. I was only "arrying out the dead man‘s wishes by coming here and making the facts known to you. Mr. Iiingsnorth was of the opinion that you were well provided for and that. outside of the sentimental reason that the girl was your own niece. the additional thou- sand pounds a year might be welcome as. say. pin money for your daughter.” ' Ethél' iaughed tier dry. cheerless lit- tle laugh. “Ha! Pin money!" Alaric grew suddemy grave and drew his mother and sister out of Mr. Hawkes' vicinity. “Listen. mater. Ethel. It's a cool thousand. you know!
