An odd fact about dressmakers is
that nearly all of them have the same
fault-on the street they cut their
friends. \ noted dressmaker said in
explanation of this fact: The street is
to us dressmakers what a picture gal
lery is to artists-a grand storehouse
of ideas. On the street we are always
on the lookout for new fashions. and
from the neck down we study every
person that passes, for from one we
may get new skirt pattern, from an
other new sleeve, from third a new
collar, and so on. We are never buster
than when on the street; our eyes are
never more alert, but they don't reach
up to the face level; they can't spare
the time from their study of dresses to
go any higher than the neck. And
hence on the street we cut impartially
our mothers, our sisters, our best
friends. Philadelphia Bulletin.

quite clear what was Colonel Moran's

"Ah, my dear Watson, there we come
into those realms of conjecture where
the most logical mind may be Mt fault.
Each may form his own hypothesis up
on the present evidence, and yours is
as likely to be correct as mine"
"You have formed one, then?"
81 think that it is not difficult to ex-
plain the facts. 1t came out in evidence
that Colonel Moran and young Adair
had between them won considerable
amount Of money Now, Moran un-
doubtedly played foul. OF that l have
long been aware. l believe that on the
day Of the murder Adair had dlscov-
cred that Moran was cheating Very
likely he had spoken to him privately
and had threatened to expose him un-
less he voluntarily resigned his men,
bership of the club and promised not to
play cards again. 1t Is unlikely that a
youngster like Adair would at once
make hldeous scandal by exposing a
well known man SO much older than
himself Probably he acted as / sug.
gest. The exclusion from his clubs
would mean ruin to Moran. WHO lived
