Her husband had soothed her tenderly, and tried to laugh away her fears, but his own heart sank when he noticed more closely that shrunken figure, that fading face; and even while he comforted her a cold fear clutched at his heart, and made a coward of him by forcing him to yield to her wish. "I will try to explain all without revealing the secret, dearest," he said. "Rest content, Stasie, the boys shall learn nothing of our past from me." With this comfort she was fain to be content, but she sat in silent agony in her chamber, to which the hum of voices now and then ascended,-voices which were discussing topics very near to her sore, sad heart. Walter Keller never quite remembered in what words he first broke the strange news to the boys, but he knew that Walter, by his eager questioning and rapid deductions, helped him materially to a conclusion. He told a story vaguely, and tamely even, of a serious quarrel with his brother in his early youth-a quarrel only made up in death, and he used his brother's sternness to account for the passing over his own name and George's in Anthony Keller's will. He then wound up by clasping his son's hand in a warm pressure, wishing him many and happy years to enjoy his good fortune. Walter was bewildered, but the frank, generous-hearted lad turned in the first moment to his brother, and said, "But I will never take this money unless George can share it." George-poor George! turned very pale, and said quickly "That is nonsense, Walter. If Kettering is left to you you must take it, and follow out the instructions in your uncle's will. But," he added, with deep feeling, "I shall miss you, old fellow; we have been almost more than brothers, you and I. I am glad, Walter, I am glad from my heart for your good fortune, my brother." There were tears in his eyes as he clasped his brother's hand, and Walter's clear, blue orbs were clouded with a mist of unwonted feeling, as he answered George's brotherly clasp. 66 "That is right, boys," said Mr. Keller, touched to his soul at the generous conduct of the dead man's son; "that is right, boys. It would have broken my heart, and your mother's too, if this strange will had sown dissension between our dear boys. You are a noble fellow, George," he added, laying a hand on the young man's shoulder. N.B. The full-sized Patterns given in this Magazine are all cut for Ladies of medium height, and of propor tionate figure: measuring 34 inches round the chest, and 24 waist, unless otherwise stated in the description. All allowances necessary for the seams are already given to these Patterns, so that the seams NEED NOT be allowed for when cutting out, except in materials that require extra wide turnings in. The greatest care is always taken by the binders to ensure the whole of the pieces composing each pattern being folded up in it. If at any time, through accident, our subscribers should find any pieces missing, the EDITORS will be happy to supply the deficiency, post free, during the month after publication, on receipt of a letter or post card addressed to them at 1, Kelso Place, Kensington, London, W. THE STEPHANIE REDINGOTE. (325.) Our first full-sized pattern is the double-breasted' Corsage of the Stephanie Costume, represented on the first figure of our third plate. It has a skirt of the Redingote style, and the fronts open in a slanting direction, thus making it one of the most elegant forms of the Redingote style of jacket. This pattern is given complete, and consists of six pieces, viz.: front, sidepiece, back, skirt, sleeve, and collar. On the front we have marked the middle of front, and the puffs or pleats by pricked lines, and on the skirt the crease of the back pleat is also marked by pricking. THE LANGTRY HOOD. (335.) Our second pattern (which is given at the special request of a large number of our subscribers), is a Pointed Hood for the Costume Jackets so fashionable just now. Some of these hoods are ornamental only, and cannot be put over the head, but this hood is specially designed to be useful as well as ornamental. Its appearance is shown by No. 335 of our seventh Plate, from which it will be seen that, in order to show more of the colored lining, the sides of opening are turned under, forming long folds, or they may be rolled over, which will display the lining still more. The shape of this hood is so arranged as to lay as flat as possible on the shoulders, and to draw over the head with great ease. This hood may easily be distinguished from the piece of our first pattern by its having one round hole placed near the front part of neck, the hollowed out portion near this hole being the neck seam, and the straight line about 14 inches in length being the middle of back; the crease line by which the hood is folded to make it up, is indicated by the pricked line which is carried from the point to the end of the large V or puff which is taken out to make the hood lay flat on the shoulders. Any good-fitting jacket may be used with this hood, or we will supply a Pattern on our usual terms. See No. 335 on our Pattern list. THE LANGTRY JACKET WITH HOOD. BACK VIEWS OF THE MOURNING COSTUMES. No. 335.-Front. No. 335.-Back. No. 335 is the new style of Costume Jacket with Hood, called the Langtry. It is usually made in thin fancy cloth, or for Summer wear may be made in cachemire or silk. The colour is always black, and the hood lined with some bright colored material, usually striped. The edge of the hood opening may be rolled underneath as here indicated, or it may be turned over outside if preferred. The Hood pattern is given full-sized in this Number. Will take 2 yds. of 54 inch cloth; yd. of lining. Devere's Model Busts,-Price (Including Crate, Packing, and free delivery 4 miles of Charing Cross, or at any London Terminus.) We consider our Busts to be of so much importance to our Subscribers, that we again give the illustration of one on our seventh plate. They are supplied only to our Subscribers, and we charge them at cost price, so as to place this great advantage in the reach of all our supporters. We supply these Busts, for the following sizes of Chest Measures :-30 inches, 31, 33, 34, 36, 371, 391, 41, 42, and 44 inches. Devere's Model Bust is specially made for the use of Drapers, Dressmakers, and private families, it is accurately moulded in papier maché from the most perfect figures, and is covered with stout twilled calico, thus affording a firm yet flexible surface for the various purposes of making, trimming, and trying-on garments. It is mounted on a handsome polished black stand, and, by means of the screw shown on the engraving, can be raised or lowered in height according to requirement. Another great advantage is the facility with which it turns round on the pivot, thus enabling the worker to fit or trim the back or front of a dress without moving from her position. Drapers, Dressmakers, and private families find these Busts are invaluable, from the ease they afford for the arrangement of the elegant but complicated styles of trimmings so much in vogue at the present time. In private families, one Bust serves for all members of the family who are not smaller in size than the bust, but Drapers and Dressmakers should always have more than one size. We allow a discount of 5 per cent. on two Busts, 7 per cent. on three Busts, 10 per cent. on four Busts, and 12 per cent. on six Busts, if they are all ordered for the same person at one time, and sent in one crate. N.B. When ordering a Bust for general trade purposes, it will suffice to mention the size or sizes required, but when a Lady requires one for her own private use, she should ALWAYS SEND A DRESS BODY with the order, because Ladies and their maids have so many ways of taking the chest measure, that it can hardly ever be relied on as a sure guide. When a dress body is sent (no matter if new or old), a Bust best suited to the Lady's figure will be carefully selected from our stock, and the body will be returned in the crate carefully packed to prevent damage. Front View of the Bust. These Busts are so arranged as to take to pieces with the greatest ease, and to pack in a small com pass, thus reducing the expense of carriage to the lowest amount. Full instructions for putting together are forwarded to each purchaser. The crates (which are specially made to suit each Bust) should be preserved for use in case of removal. TESTIMONIALS. Since our introduction of these Busts to our Subscribers, we have received an immense number of letters thanking us for the benefit they have derived from their use. LADY B, writes : "I have always found a difficulty in being well fitted. I saw in your Magazine the advertisement of Devere's Model Busts: I sent for one, and my maid has, by using it and cutting from one of your patterns, succeeded in making me a dress which is a beautiful fit." GWENDOLINE writes: "I have bought one of your Model Busts, and made up one of your patterns, No. 65; the result is quite beautiful. On reckoning up the cost of materials and trimmings, I find I have saved on this one dress more than double the price of the Model Bust." MARTHA writes: "Your Model Busts have been of the greatest service to me; through using them I have had many extra orders. Please send me as soon as possible, two more Busts, same size as last." MADAME C- writes: "I have now three of your new Model Busts, a Wanzer Pleating Machine, and four sewing machines. By this means, I save a good deal of labour, and I am thus enabled to charge quite one-third less than the price I was formerly obliged to ask." A WEST-END DRESSMAKER writes: "One of my best hands tells me they can finish three dresses in the time required for two before they discovered its use.' Can be obtained only from Louis Devere & Co., 1, Kelso Place, Kensington, London, W. Orders to be sent by letter only, enclosing P. O. Order or cheque for the amount. May, 1880.
