Mrs. Jones, "and l feel that you will
treat the matter confidentially. l wish
to ask if you heard my husband come
home about o'clock this morning."
Mrs. Smith admitted that she had.
'Well," continued Mrs. Jones, by way
of apology, Il am very much disturbed
that such thing should have occurred,
especially as his condition, as you

warmest and cheeriest of clear rose
colors. 1t has separate skirt, just like
a street gown, cut to hang in a soft mass
of flutes at the sides and back and
gracefully drawn over the hips. The
bodice is full and round, with broad
box plat directly down the middle OF
the front, set all along the edge with
small, round, jet buttons. A deep Cir
die of beautifully cut jet, fastened In
front under deep buckle of jet. Ire
sleeves are delightfully."- quaint and
enough to decide any woman at once in
its favor. They are after the 1890 mode,
shirred closely to the shoulders and
then fiaring out sharply at the elbow. A
dainty stock collar of rose velvet has
two big stiff loops diectly under the
ears. There are smart little boots oil
bright patent leather, with jetted toes,
to be worn with il, completing fas-
cinating tout ensemble.
Then there is the dainty wool frock
of soft, dreamy blue, the sort that deep
ems the color Of the eyes. 1t is cut en-
princesse, falling in lot OF deep pox
plaits from tiny circular yoke, braided
richly with black. silk and tiny gold
braid, in arabesques. Over the droop-
ing, pulled sleeves are flyaway revers
of the braided stuff, with full ruch-
ing of soft chiffon on the edges. A
Catherine De Medici collar, also
braided, is a smart adjunct and gives
wonderful amount of chic to the rig.
An entire gown of black, made from the
fresh portions of a worn silk gown, with
a lot of black crepe de chine frills and
narrow bands of ermine, is exceedingly
becoming to blonde beauty.

or course, only the madonna sort OF

but if it suits her, and she does it, she Is

may comb away her locks from CEN

the hair may be softly coiled, with pref

But suddenly he doubted whether h,

There in front of him was an animal
he had never seen before. He thought
it was an animal. But it was strangely
like himself, yet strangely different. His
surprise increased. For some moments
he was speechless. Then:
What are your he gasped.
The unusual creature smiled.
She picked loose hair off one Of his
shoulders, compared it with his wild,
unkempt locks and smiled again.

the knowledge that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
