The bride telling Lois all about it.

The bride had on a wedding gown of heavy satin in old ivory, the color was deeper than cream. The dress was made with full skirt, short in front and long in back. The bride's veil was of old lace and she had old lace cuffs on the sleeves. These cuffs reached from wrist to elbow and were tight fitting. There was a yoke of lace, but not a deep one.

One of her bridesmaids had a dress with a lace bertha or cape which came half way to the waist in back. effect of the old ivory heavy satin and the creamy old lace of the veil was really exquisite. Lois then began her tale: "At the wedding I attended yesterday afternoon the bride wore her veil in a new fashion. She had a wreath of blossoms around her head and over it was worn the wedding veil with the tulle well off the face. But at Angela's wedding she had her veil made with a close-fitting rap of tulle.

Then the tulle veil was worn over that in the fashion of a nose veil. She told me afterwards she had considered wearing a tightlyfitted folded chin strap of tulle. It could have been done nicely with that particular type of veil and cap arrangement, don't you think?" And Nancy and Lois were deep in the discussion of brides they had seen, their own weddings, and weddings of friends still to come.

SPOERNER, 5:20 UNDERGROUND A MYSTERY LOVE AND STORY BY J.JEFFERSON FARJEON Copyright, 1989, by Central Press Association, Ine. BY J.JEFFERSON READ THIS FIRST: The plot concerns some weird underground noises that come from beneath a supposedly haunted house in Byford Moor. One day, Brown, a romantic young clerk, heard a roughlooking fellow say: "After her! And -if she's troublesome--don't be particular what you do to her!" Brown trails the girl to the haunted house. It is night, and he is just about to enter the house. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER XIII he reached the house, and Now.

creeping, like a soldier about to go "over the top," towards the low window ledge. Now he reached the window ledge. The window was still open. The interior blackness yawned at him, like a huge velvet mouth. "By gum!" gulped Brown, inadequately.

What he really meant was, "God help me!" but the Browns of this earth are incoherent, and very rarely say exactly what they mean. One leg went over the ledge. He was just in the velvet mouth now. Would it snap, and bite him in two? He could dart out again, even yet, if he decided to. "Steady!" he chattered.

He thought of the girl's face, for comfort. In his imagination she threw her lovely arms around his neck, and thanked him for his heroism with warm tears of gratitude. He held her to him, tight, and over went the other leg. He was right in now. Right inside the mouth.

Surely it would close on him! He turned, and the garden gleamed dully back at him, oddly inaccessible. The lips that framed it remained open. Just one leap, and he could He swung round swiftly. Now the garden was behind and ahead was an intense blackness through which crept soft footsteps. "Who's there?" he said.

His voice sounded like the voice of a pea-hen. He was not really sure that it had sounded at all. He tried again. "WHO'S THERE?" This time his voice sounded like thunder, and he nearly jumped out of his skin through the shock of it. It roared through invisible vistas, and the echoes came rolling back.

"Boom-boom! Boom-boom!" And the footsteps still crept softly. Brown's burst, and he lost control of himself. He rushed Theo, forward, senselessly, without any plan or policy, a miraculous thing happened. His waving arms touched something, and wound themselves round that something with the winding force of an octopus, and all at once he heard a heart beating close to his own and experienced a warmth that almost made him sob through the sheer relief and wonder of it. Brown did actually cry a little, though he never knew it, and for a brief instant his head rested inert against the warmth, with the need of a small child seeking comfort.

The capturer sought solace from the captured. Then his brain cleared slightly, he began to come to his senses, and whispered, convulsively: "Who are you?" "Please let me go," replied the warm thing. Whatever it had asked, Brown would have obeyed that voice. He released his capture, and stood waiting. A sudden light blazed into his face, almost blinding him.

The girl had switched on an electric torch, and as she did so she gave a little exclamation. "Why--I've seen you before!" she exclaimed. "That's right," answered Brown. "In the train." "But why are you here?" "Well-same reason why I was in the train." "I see," she said, and her tone became suddenly friendly. "I still don't understand, though.

Who are youand why were in the train?" Brown struggled for an adequate and dignified reply. How was it that some people could always think of the right thing to say, while the minds of other people went blank? "Well, it was like this, miss," he began, and then stopped. He stopped for two reasons. One, because he still couldn't think of the right thing to say, and, two, because he was angry with himself for having called her "miss." "Go on," she encouraged. him, gently.

"You--wanted me. Was that it?" Splendid, understanding person! "Please let me go." "Yes, that was it!" he exclaimed. "You see, I'd got on to it that they were after you, and that little manwell, I was just following him, you see." "You know him?" "Me? Know that feller?" Brown's tone implied that he had some social discrimination, despite his humble origin. "What made you follow him, then?" "It was in the restaurant at King's Cross. You had lunch there, didn't Well, so did I.

And, just as you were leaving, two men passed me, and one of them was that little blighter-beggar-and the other was saying to him well, I'll give you the exact words. he said, 'and if she's troublesome, don't be particular what you do to her'." He paused, a little breathless. Her eyes were very soft as she looked at him. He could just see them by the light of her torch, which, was now lowered considerably ground and made a dim illumination in that room. A wrong 'un? She? With those eyes "And-because of that remarkyou followed me?" she asked, after a short pause.

"Yes. Well-who wouldn't?" "And that was your only reason for being in the train? For trying to get the man out of the carriage? And--for being here?" "That's right." There was a longer silence. The miracle of the universe Brown enthralled, bewildered. Here was he, in the midst of nameless terrors, momentarily unafraid. Hugging life.

Begging each second of it to remain, and content what it gave, despite the coldness that had preceded it, and that must inevitably follow it. A few moments of sweetness out of the frozen spaces of eternity--these are all we hope for, and ask for; and when they come, they satisfy us for all that has been, and all that will be. "Tell me a little more, please," said the girl, drawing a step closer. "I'm not going to try to you--just yet. I want to know." "Well, it's all a bit queer," replied Brown, groping through a mist of ideas.

"Not really quite in my line, if you know what I mean. I--well, I just wanted to give you the warning, that was all." "You did that, when you tried to pull man out of the train." "Ah-1 wondered if you'd get on to it, miss." Dash it! The "miss" has slipped out again! Why couldn't he shake off the feeling that he was still behind a counter? "But you weren't sure. And SO you followed me here." "That's right." "And--now you've given me the warning--what are you going to do?" "I dunno. don't know. I suppose-" The air became a little chilly.

"Go back again, I expect." The chill in his heart was expressed in his tone. She held out her hand and, as he took it, the warmth returned, and the chill was forgotten. "I--I'd like to help you some more, if there was any way," Brown heard himself saying. "Perhaps there is a way," the girl! murmured. Her hand was still in his.

She was allowing him to retain it. A sort of reward, Brown surmised. Well, he; mustn't presume upon it, of He dropped the hand-and then suddenly realized what she had said. "There is a way, is there?" he exclaimed. "What?" "A door I want to open-and can't," she said, slowly.

Then she forgot the door, and broke off: "Yes, but how did know I was going to Byford Moor?" "Found out at the ticket office," answered Brown. "Same as that 1 tle man did." "And how did you know I was here?" "There's a tramp spending ti night in a shed outside there. said he'd seen you go in-" "Is the tramp there now?" "Yes. But you needn't worry. He asleep.

Well- what about that door? "Oh, yes--the door!" She thought for a second. Doub crept into her face. "Look here, iss-I want to help you," insisted Brown, anxiously. "I know you do. You're But I don't think you'd better any more.

You'd better go." "What! And leave you here?" parted in a little smile. "I'm here of my own accord; "Brown." "Thank you. I came here of my own free will, Mr. Brown, and I can leave of my own free will. So you needn't be afraid any more on my account.

Yes--please go. It will be better. And you would--don't anything to anybody about all this." "Which is the door?" asked Brown. Perhaps she realized the determination in his tone. Perhaps, after all, she really did not want him to go.

She made no further protest, but turned and directed her torch toward the door by the silent grandfather clock. "I see. That one," nodded Brown, and walked towards it. "It's locked," said the girl, following him. "I can pick a lock-in fact, I've picked that lock-but it seems to be bolted, too-on the inside." Brown's heart missed a beat.

She could pick a. lock! Well--no one should know it from him! "What are you going to do?" she asked. Brown had no notion. A stout stool stood near door. He picked it up and, with the sudden strength of a knight who cannot afford to fail, smashed it against the door panel.

The panel splintered. "Oh, well done!" exclaimed the girl, and swiftly peeled off a long splinter of wood. Inserting her hand, she felt for the inside bolt, and drew it aside. Then she pulled the door open. As she did so, a rigid body swayed toward them, with a thud to the floor.
