deuce they had planned and executed a
costume for Penrod. and the only uila
giving they felt was connected with
the tractability of the Child Sir lai nee
lot himself.

ly; then they t»egan by shrouding bis
legs in a t»alr of silk stockings, once
I
blue, but now mostly whitish. Upon
Penrod they visibly surpassed mere
amplenesa. but they were long, and It
required only a rather loose Imagina
tion to assume that they were tights.
The upper part of hta body was next
concealed from »lew by a garment so
peculiar that Its description becomes
difficult. In 1886 Mrs. Schofield, then
unmarried, bad worn at ber “coming
out party” a dr.-ss of vivid aalmon silk
which had been remodeled after her
marriage to accord with various epochs
of fashion until a Anal unskillful cam-
l«lgn at a dye house had left it in a
condition certain to attract much at
tention to the wearer. Mrs. 8chofleld
had considered giving it to Della, the
cook, but had decided not to do so. be
cause you never could tell how Della
waa going to take things, and cooks
were scarce.
It may have been the word "medl
eval’’ Hn Mrs. Ix>rs Rewbush'a rich
phrase! which bad Inspired the idea
for a last and consplcuoua usefulness.
At all events the bodice of that once
salmon dress, somewhat modified and
moderated, now took a position for
Its farewell appearance tn society upon
the back, breast and arms of the Child
Mr lance lot.
The area thus costumed ceased at
the waist, leaving a Jaeger-like and nn-
medieval gap thence to the tope of
the stockings. The Inventive genius of
woman triumphantly bridged it, but tn
a manner which Imposes upon history
almost Insuperable dellcaciea of nar
ration.
Penrods father was an old
fashioned man. The twentieth cen
tury bad failed to shake his faith In
red flannel for cold weather, and It
waa while Mrs. Schofield was potting
away bar heahaed'a Kia Mr WWlBr
that* she perceived how hopelessly one
of the elder specimens bad dwindled,
and ylmultaneounly she received the
inspiration which reunited In a pair of
trunks for the Child Hlr Lancelot and
added an earnest Mt of color, as well
as a genuine touch of the middle ages,
to his costume. Reversed, fore to aft,
with the greater part of the legs cut
off and strips of silver braid covering
the seams, thia garment, she felt, was
not traceable to Its original source.
When it had lawn placed upon Pen
rod the stockings were attached to It
by a system of safely pins, not very
perceptible at a distance. Next, after
being severely warned against stoop
ing, Penrod got his feet Into the slip
pers he wore to dancing school—“pat

with large pink rosettes
“If I can't stoop.” be began smolder
Ingly. “T‘d like to know how*ro I goln'

“Too must manage!” This, uttered
through pins, was evidently thonght

They fastened some niching about
his slender neck, pinned ribbons at
random all over him, and then Mar
garet thickly powdered bls hair.
“Oh, yes; that's all right.*’ she said,
replying to a question put by her
mother. “They always powdered their
hair in colonial times.”
“It doesn't seem right to me—exact
ly," objected Mrs. Schofield gently.
“Hlr Iaincelot must have been ever so
long before colonial times.”
"That doesn't matter." Margaret re
assured ber. “Nobody'll know the
difference. Mrs. Ix>ra Rewbush least of
all. I don't think she knows a thing
about it. though, of courae. she does
write splendidly and the words of the
pageant are just beautiful.
Stand
still. Penrod!" (The author of "Har
old Ramorex" had moved convulsively.)
“Besides, powdered hair’s always be
coming. Look at him. You'd hardly
know it was Penrod!”
The pride and admiration with which
she pronounced thia undeniable truth
might have been thought tactless, but
Penrod. not analytical, found bis spir
its somewhat elevated.
No mirror
was in bis range of vision, and. though
be had submitted to cursory measure

bad no previous acquaintance with the
coatume. He began to form a not un-
pleaslng mental picture of his appear

the portraits of George Washington
and a vivid memory of Miss Julia

He was additionally cheered by a

wise the glory of his facade. Then at
last he waa allowed to step before a
tnlrror.
It was a full length glass and the
worst immediately happened. It might
have been a little less violent perhaps,
if Penrod's expectations bad not been
so richly and poetically ideallxed. but
as things were the revolt was volcanic

might have been equal to a proper
recital of the half hour which followed
Penrod's first sight of himself as the
Child Sir Lancelot But Mr. Wilson
himself, dastard but eloquent foe of
Harold Ramorez, could not have ex
pressed, with all the vile dashes at his
command, the sentiments which ani
mated Tenrod's bosom when the in
stantaneous and unalterable conviction
descended upon him that he was in
tended by bls loved ones to make pub
lic spectacle of himself In bis sister’s
stockings and part of an old dress of
bls mother's.
To him these familiar things were
not disguised at all. There seemed no
possibility that the whole world would
not know them at a glance. The stock
ings were worse than the bodice. He
had been assured that these could not
be recognized, but. seeing them tn the
mirror, he was sure that no human
eye could fall at first glance to detect
the difference between himself and the
former purposes of these stockings.
Fold, wrinkle, and void shrieked their
history with a hundred tongues. Invok

The frantic youth's final submission
was obtained only after a painful tele

and hta father, the latter having been
called up and upon by the exhausted
Mrs. Schofield, to subjugate bls off

The two ladies made all possible

the hands of Mra. Iz>ra Rewbnsh.
Nevertheless, they found opportunity
to exchange earnest congratulations
upon his not having recognized the

Altogether, they felt
that the costume was a success. Pen

Imagined by Sir Thomas Malory or
Alfred Tennyson—for that matter be
looked like nothing ever before seen

Margaret took their places tn the audi

Penrod's elocutionary and geetlcular
powers so soon to be put to public
test waa pleasantly tempered by their
satisfaction that, owing to their ef
