We got quite cosy and companionalde over the ten table. There is something in the very smallness of a cabin that seems to bring you all physically and paychically close together-and - dare say you're noticed it. Where haye yon ay nangger times than in a yacht's cabin? You see you're altogether out of the world. Madge was just charming-optivating little burlesque sailor-boy. No Grumpus enitor had ever-before been--80 graced and certainly no man-o'-war bat had ever perched more dainti- ly above such a bright little face, or tried in rain to cover such obstinate masses of wavy brown hair,
I reluctantly went on deck to relieve Rogers, but presently Madge joined me,

We got the yacht off as the tide flowed and sailed round to Raglesham. The tug was lying at anchor with her crew turned in as we gut under way. Bringing up off the village at about 9.30, I hurried ashore, and was met at the cansoway by Mr. and Mrs. Musgrave. They had spent the night in the village of Barling and gone on to Haglesham in the morning and got married as per arrangement, On leaving the church, the welcome sight of the yacht sail- ing serenely up the river th the bright sonshine met their gaze.

CUTICURA
REMEDIES
THE SET
Consisting of CUTICURA" SOAP, to cleanse the skin, CUTICURA Ointment, to heal the skin, and CUTICURA RESOLVENT, to cool the blood, is often sufficient to cure the most torturing, dis- figuring skin, scalp, and blood humours, rashes, itchings, and irritations, with loss of hair, when the best physicians, and all other remedies fall. Millions of Women Use Cuticura Soap
Exclusively for preserving, purifying, and bonutifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, und dardruff, And the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, nad soothing red, rough, and sore hande, in the form of baths for annoying fecitations, indat- mations, and chafings, or too fres or offensive poreptration, in tho form of washes for mlocrative weaknesses, and for many sanadivo antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, and especially motizers, and for all the purposes of the tails, bath, and nursery. No amount of persuasion can induce those who have once used it to use any other, especially for preserving and purifying the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and children. Curiousa foar combines delicate emollient properties derived from CUTICURA, the great skin care, with the purest of claanaing ingredients and the most refreshing of flower odours. No other medicated soap aver compounded is to be compared with is for preserving purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. No other foreign er downstia hilet acap, howevor expensive, in to be compared with it for all the purposes of the collet, bath and nursery.
