IT'S LDOyM.ANJ GREAT G4JNE

Written Especially for The Press.
To dress well is great game.
The woman who plays the game
with skill must master it's tricks.
The woman with the most tricks
Is the best dresser.
She gathers her tricks by watching
other women play the game.
There is the woman who looks ike
q fright. The woman who is up 10
the great game studies her until she
finds out why.
There is q woman who looks like
queen. The woman who plays the
game with skillful hand studies
the queen until she discovers her
tricks.
Watch, watch, watch! That is how
they learn the game.
They watch their friends, their Wis
itors, the newcomers to town, ana
they watch the photographs in books
and magazines.
There is the red-faced woman. She
always looks cool ard comfortable.
How does she manage 1t?
Simple enough when you nave dis
covered the trick of 1t.
She never wears coral beads or pink
ribbons. She never puts onto herself
any color that matches that hatefui
red in her face.
There is another with just the
faintest pink in her cheeks. she
meyer looks pale and washed out.
-N's just trick. She matches her
ribbons and dresses to that wee DIT
of pink, and in that way brings IL
out and makes the most of 1t.
Here Is a woman who is as homely

color to throw the correct lights into
her eyes. She remembers her star
feature and dresses to bring it out.
There is the fluffy white girl. A
fluffy white hat with fluffy furs and
a fluffy belaced dress make a picture
of her. If she wore the hat or furs
with some other gown she would look
quite ordinary.
She knows the game.
There is the baroness. She knows
that pale blue velvet band, worn
with pale blue gown trimmed with
pearls brings out the blue of hei

and gives a daintiness of coloring tc

lost
There is the well-rounded woman
who dares to wear short sleeves and
the round low cut bodice She knows
that the points of the lace add to her
height and that the stripe in the silk
helps to carry out the long lines.
The long, lean woman looks long
ingly at this evening toilet, but, If
she has studier her game and is mas
ter of a few tricks, she turns away
and wears transparent Jokes and
sleeves that fall below the elbows.
The woman who wins the prize in
this great game of dress is not the
woman with the most money, but the
woman who knows the most tricks
and uses them, the woman who
watches other women and finds them
out to her own advantage.
The woman who dresses always in

which promptly at 8 o'clock lit up
the pillows of clouds that hung
over the crest of the great noun
tain, 1852 feet above the sea
level.
Only few minutes after the
hiring of the first signal, however,
sudden storm set in on the
mountain top, gale of tremendous
I fury springing up, and jagged
streaks of lightning flashing al
most instantaneously with terrify-
ing claps of thunder. With the
dropping of the sun over the hori-
zon far below, the glacial had set
in and the two men had nearly
frozen while waiting for the ap-
pointed hour. The additional cold
of the terrific wind that whistled
with incalculable velocity, through
the jagged rocks almost three
miles above sea level, redoubled
their suffering, and they fled to
the warmth of a yawning crevasse
from which bursts of warm air
and steam was continually emitted.
Patton's right foot had frozen, and
three of Trengrove's fingers were
numbed. They crept far down in
to the crevasse, and found a rest
ing place on narrow ledge. Here
Patton removed his shoe and was
holding out his frozen foot to the
grateful warmth that came upward
from the bowels of the earth, when
q grating sound startled them. A
trenor that nearly shook them
from their seats was felt, and a
deafening noise fOllowed-it was
the sound of a tremendous avalan-
che sliding down the mountain side
the storm having loosened a great
bulk of ice and snow. Simultan-
eously with the sound came a
sudden scalding burst of steam up
from the crater, the force of it as
it escaped causing it to hiss and
whistle as if from giant loco
motive. PattOn's frozen foot was
caughts by the full force of the
scadng spray, and both men were
nearly hmothered in addition to
the torture of the sudden heat.
They scrambled up the ledge, spent
the night hanging on a narraw
shelf further up. where the intense
cold from above and the uneven
bursts of warmth from below kept
them in tortuer. Here they man
