draped-or they will have to go to
work and develop them. The true
tailor, with the honor of his profession
in his eye, would no longer think Of
padding a masculine shoulder than Of
extending credit where credit was not
due. Moreover, the skirts of the sack
suit Of this day and season will not
drag at the heels, but will terminate
little below the line along which the
gentleman from the far west might go
when reaching for gun. The funny
little flap in the rear of the coat tail
has also been eliminated and there is a
general tendency to make all garments
fit the figure, instead of making the
figure fit the garment by fair means or
foul. - .
Extremes Of style appear to run in
cycles. 1t is about twenty years ago
that the monkey, military or Seymour
jacket, with its absurdly abbreviated
skirt and its beetling crags and threat
ening promontories, which took the
place Of shoulders, first had violent
vogue. Contemporaneously with this
visitation came an epidemic Of peg-top
trousers-some of them measuring
twenty four inches at the knee and
fifteen inches around the bottom.
The country survived this visitation
and was fairly prosperous up to 1898,
when similar styles again came into
vogue and many young men who have
since become valuable members Of the
public with jackets whose tails barely
came below the shoulder blades, wear
ing at the same time trousers which
tapered from balloonlike bulge, which
represented the waist to an ankle az
small as the limit of the law.
Twice in this period the pendulum
has swung back again and long skirts

even in evening clothes the coats are
undergoing some changes. One Of the
new ideas is to have peaked lapels and

Throwing lace veil around her head,

Quinton, with an air of confusion, ad-
vanced to meet her, but Veronica would
not give him time to speak nor allow
her mother to talk to him. She felt the
need of expressing her emotion.

IF you come here you will see the
branches of this tree spread like net

streak of gold just touching the green

what was now in the eyes of the law
but a feasible surmise became the in
spector's duty, and his first step in this
direction was his endeavor to discover
Mezza. In this the Partisan police were
unable to afford MackWorth any help.
If the scoundrel had returned to Paris
he had not gone back to his old quar-
ters, had not given his own name at
the house where he stayed, and had not
been seen in his former haunts. The
inspectors fear was that the man had
made his way quietly and unobservedly
to Italy or Sicily, where, hiding among
the people of some unknown hamlet in
the mountains, he might spend the re-
mainder Of his days in perfect security.
This supposition did not prevent
Mackworth from using all his energies
in his search for Mezza, and already
the police all over the continent were
looking for the man, whose personal
description had been forwarded to them,
while at the same time inquiries were
being made regarding him by the Lon
don police.
