The new short skirt is bit shorter
than we have recently seen It: hence
the shoes and hosiery worn with It
must be of high grade. corresponding
with each other and with the gown TO
which they belong. Killing continues
popular: the plaits growing narrower
and more numerous. and fitted more
carefully to the hips. The French
models show much shirrirg. and in
response the American dressmakers
| are introducing cores gathered or
gauged into the belt, between groups
of plaits. The newest modification OF
the fashionable circular skirt has a
bias effect in the front and at the
sides and full plaits In the back. II
! Is also marked by the revived gradu

line of union is left plain or else It is

with fine cord. Occasionally this fold
is built up in sort Of ladder-work oi

There are strong indications that the

Al A.tonIshino discovery.

An Astonishing Discovery.
With one glance around the apart
mont, which gave no sign OF being ten
anted but moment before by nearly
q score OF people, Ivan bounded up
the Steps and. removing the oaken
bar. which had been carefully replaced
when the door was closed after IDA
entrance. stood silently for n moment
"Without there!" he asked. what
do you want?"
..Admittance!" was the prompt re-
ply.
sYour object at this hour?"
Speech with you!"
Ivan glanced once more about the
room.
Then with the single word Enter
he flung the door wide open.
A tall. soldierly figure stood In the
doorway an instant. and then without
moments hesitation entered and,
descending the steps, calmly surveyed
the apartment.
Ivan. closing the door descended ana
stood face to face with stranger
whom he surveyed with keenest inter
est.
Now, sir. the object OF this visit!
asked Ivan as he pointed to chair.
The stranger. ignoring the courtesy
and speaking in the unmistakably per
emptory manner OF n man accustomed
to command. after another glance
around the room, fixed his eyes upon
Ivan. Il seek information OF young
girl-a musician"
Ivan could not renress slight start
OF surprise: but he managed with an
effort to control himself as he return
ed the fixed glance of the stranger.
Her name?"
"Ilda BarosKyi" As he uttered the
words the stranger unbuttOned the
great coat which enveloped him 10
the throat. and displayed an officers
uniform. Then with an easy iudiffer-
ence. he threw himself into the chair
with the air OF man who had come
to take possession and was bent upon
something OF long stay.
"why do you seek Ida Barosky
here?" asked Ivan.
Because" was the quick reply. "she
was seen TO enter this house and has
not since left II. She is here"
"Seen to enter it-by whcm!'
by my servant, whom ordered to
follow her"
Ivan's eyes flashed. May l ask by
what right an officer sends his servant
to play the spy upon defenseless girl
because she happened to be alone and
unprotected. When an officer-a man
Of rank-forces his attentions upon
girl who. being a musician, is presum-
ably OF lower degree than himself, he
can have but one object in view-her
dishonor,"
The stranger sprang to his feet. and
half-drawing his sword. said in a voice
of anger: stop. sir! when you at.
tribute my visit here, or my actions,
to dishonorable motive, you lie, 1t
is because l am man OF honor-be-
cause respect the girl. that am here
tonight Summon her here!"
Ivan stood mouonless.
We'll. sir!' The stranger spoke
with some impatience.
Here she comes not" said Ivan
calmly. Il forbid it!''
1t was now the strangers turn to
start,
you forbid it," he exclaimed.
And pray. sir, by what right do you
assume to decide for the girl?"
by the right of being her pro
tector."
