J t they go straight fro. 1 *! Belginm to England, they can take it jiHome withont haviug to poy any duty, bu* i* they pans through France they have Jo poy on all thoir new Brussels lace at the French custom house. And many English women pass through France on thoir way from Belgium to England, becauso they prefer the short passage ( from Calais to Dover to the longer one from Obtund. The Misses Wylie were eharming,, middlo ntfed ladies, fond of travel, foud of dress, fond of lace and very bad ■ailora They had been excursioningria Germany, had come down the Bhili* and had spent a week in Brussels. Moro attractivo than the field of Waterloo and moio fascinating than the Muaee Wierta was the Galerio St. Hubert « Miss Melissa Wylie could not resist the J whito Brussels laco; Miss Annora Wylio could not resist the black. Bach of the ladies bought; led on by the tempter, in the" shape of a seductive shop wom> an, the Misses Wylie bought lacefichusv lace collarettoa, lace by the meter. Day by day they added to their stock. At length it was necessary to make for England and to pass through that dreadful France with its protective duties. Then they realized their position. How about the lace? "Wo ciuioot conscientiously say," * remarked Miss Melissa, "that we have rioii n dc-larer (nothing to declare) fi h■< r t>: s laco is dutiable." "\ 1 1 doro not risk paokingit," rec I :- r A.-a Annora, "because they mi; j !:' it into their heads to exam- ' ;:;. -c 1 -we get it through?" nmsed f the 1 ■'■■ 'i.-.er. , 1 -tit through I" declared thn ynt'Hf/. r H'-s^T.. Presently Annora exclaimed: "I have it! We will wear it! No duty is paid on what one 1 is wearing. " "Yes, yes," said Melissa, "but how can we wear it? The white will get soiled and the black torn in traveling. Besides, if it looks unnatural, at it , would on ourdr^Mfe* and mantles, the officials will oe sure to notice it " "It wouklnot look, unnatural on our bonnets, ' ' mild Annora They set to work to decorate theil . bonnets with tho laco. They mingled , whito oiid block, fichu and flounce, in tho most skillful manner, and though j the boinuti looked Bomowhat overdone, yet they carried tho lace, and it was probabln that tho male eyes of the enstorn house official would not notice ' anything abnormal. The Misses Wylie rejoiced in their elevemesH. They sat in the train on their way to France with clear coil' •oienoes and light hearts. They had rien. a declarer — nothing dutiable. In the comportment with them was only one other passenger, a stout man of good humored uapect, evidently, from bis extreme flabby stoutness and his extreme good humor, a middle olass German. Now, Germans who understand English are very sociable with their English fellow travelers. Ah this German did not . address tho Misses Wylie, they felt sure that he did not understand English, and ■ they talked freely to each other. "I suppose," said Melissa, "that my bonnet looks all right? It does not strike the eyes aa being too muoh trimmed, I eh, Aunora?" ', "Well," said Annora, laughing, "it la too much trimmed for good taste, but then on this occasion you have bad taste. ■ "What about mine?" "Ob, quite artistic, 'a study in blaok and white, ' as the artists say." The ladies laughed together, full of glee at their coming triumph over the custom house officers. The German wore the fatuous grin affected by people who listen to a language which they do not understand. . At last the train slowed into Blandain station, tho frontier. Out jumped the MisHca Wylie with their hand baggage. They calmly Awaited the approaoh of fc the officers. Out lumbered the German with his f! tnoua smila He sauntered tip to one • ' the chief of the douane. •1 1 - declarer, " said both ladies.
