them, of the Cloister.
“Au indiscretlon committed more than

against a man at such an hour as this,"
said the Doctor. "Let me tell about—

The Friars laughed him down and
called for "Ben Bolt. ”

Oils day last week the French woman
appeared at the house oi a young matroa
who had written that 'she’ wanted a pale
green gown of thin summer goods fash-
ioned into a dainty dress for a stayvatr‘
home evening. She carried a parcel and
this is what it contained: One yard of
rose colored crepe, five yards of satin rib-
bon oi the some color. and several strips
of rose velvet cut on the bias.
When the pale green gown was laid be-
fore her she seized it as ii she were a wolf
pouncing upon her prey, and began rip
plug on the fancy green collar as if it
Were odious to her sight. As soon all the
collar was thrown away a piece of the
broad rose ribbon was folded neatly
across the front and lastened on each
side. and there cut all. Then, quick as
her hands would let her, she looks veb
vet strip and ohirred it so as to make an
upstanding end at least three inches,
broad. This she sewed last to the collar '
sothat it would stand up well under the
ear, and proceeded to make another one
like it for the other side.
A nice strip of the ribbon was next
sewed on and carried around to the back
of the neck to complete the collar eilect.
Alter this a velvet rosette finished the
back and the side ears, as she calls them.
although they bore no resembmnce to the
donkey cared bows of the summer.
The front point of the green bodice was
treated to two more of the bias velvet up-
standing ends. These were very wide at
the ,ilariug part. Perli‘eps they might
have been live inches wide. From under
them went the rose ribbon meandering
along the;elde of the bodice and up half
way under the arm. where it caught
some trimming that. finished there. Then
it continued its way to the back ol the
waist, where it ended under the biggest
velvet how that. ever was seen on the
hack of a house waist. Here the French-
woman stopped to do an ornament. lor

Tile little thing that was fashioned for
the hair consisted oftwo loops of the rose
ribbon twisted together ill a mysterious
waz, while lroln the opposite side extend-
ed hree pointed ends. A gold boil-pin
was twisted through the ribbon knot to
facilitate the boldness oi llrmsmskillg
the hair.
"Zat or» for the hair high, ' declared
the dell. i' n ncllwoman Then came two
small and perlectly synlmetricnl rose-
coiored rmettes to be fastened back of
each ear in the demurrest possible way,
should the hair be worn low in one oi the
draggy, old-fashioned styles now in

Next she ripped the skirt (ruin the
band and shortened it a little. perhaps
enough to show the high heels oi the
’ wearer. who would, oi course have pretty
house slippers to wear with her glorified
gown. Not a particle of the rose was put
upon the skirt. and it might have seemed
soil the Freul-hwoman ware making a
mistake, or even shirking her work. But
she knew what she was about,
Calling tor a handsome lam-«rimmed

Hunholders in aouthern New Zealand
were the apt to feel the scourge. So
rapid was the increase of the evil alter
thisthat within a year or two it became
' the subject of is parliamentary inquiry in
the colonial Legislative Assembly. The
ruuhoiders. who generally lease their
land from the State, represented that if
the new plague continued to increase at
the same rate for a very few years the
State property would he almost if not
quite, valueleso as sheep runs, and would
therefore bring in no rents.
The colonial Legislature took alarm
and was both prompt and decisile in its
action. A law was at once passed to
compel each landowner, or leauehoider,
under heavy penalties. to destroy the
rabbits within proclaimed districts.
Various plans were adopted, but the
one found most. snccessllll in New Zeal-
and was to keep packs of trained dogs to
hunt the rabbits. This was carried solar
that on one large run no fewer than H0
dogs and a considerable stall of men
were maintained for some years until the
evil was greatly reduced Some owners
introduced ferrets, weasels, and stoats
lor the same purpose, but the Leuisir
titre interlered to protect the birds of the
country by preventing these animals
being set at liberty.
With energy and enterprise which,
among the colonies oi Australasia, are
characteristic of the people of New Zeni-
aud, a use has been iound lor the rabbits,
large quantities of which are now canned
ill various forms ior market, while their
skins are exported ill quantities which
give an idea oi the extent of the plague.
Last year the export of rabbit skills was
oil’ielally reported as between seven and
eight millions. These are Mild to be
