She could not see his face us he knelt
and asked her TO be his. She was glad
of that, for she did not wish to know
how much suffering her refusal caused
him. She told him as gently as she
could that their lives could not be

mired him and esteemed him, she felt
that it would be risking his future as
well as her own TO consent TO union
when she was sure no affinity existed.

4 sons skirts shall fit perfectly smooth
across the front and hip, clinging to the
knee and t1aring slightly from that point
to the floor. A close adjustment in
| the back is also essential. but one of
! the recent innovations from Paris is the
vatican or box-plaited back, arranged
to fit perfectly fiat and smooth at the
waist line in a narrow plat. Widen
ing toward the lower edge this fullness
falls in graceful folds, retaining the
box plated effect at the floor
Black melrose cloth is used for this
novel skirt. The front gore is com
paratively narrow, tlaring slightly from
the knee down. The side gore fits
smooth over the hips, extending almost
to the center back where it meets the
vatican.
The skirt is fastened invisibly at the
side under the plaits. If SO desired
a pocket can be placed on the opposite
side of the placket. The box-plait-
ed skirts will be great fayorites with
