Handkerchiefs show some strikingly
new notes, especially in the introduc-
ton of color. Among the favorite col
ors is pale lavender, crossed OF with
hair-lines of deep blue purple.
Another model had broad band OF
color above a narrow hem with en-
broidered dots and other dainty de-
signs in colors above their scalloped
edges.
Pale tan can be found barred by
every color obtainable, so that a hand
kerchief can always be selected that
will harmonic with ones gown, the
unobtrusive, neutral shade of tan
counting for nothing at all.
The mauve handkerchiefs come in
especially pretty shades, and as rule
show this shade as a background,
barred with white or tan.
Delicate shades of pink and pale
green and blue are shown in handker'
chiefs barred with black and white OF
darker tones of the same shade oi
which they are made.

hung dangling, and he slipped it back

form yet closer against his own, as
they stepped forth into the black, de-

1t was Saturday night. and the min
ing town was already alive. The one
long, irregular street was damned with
constantly moving figures, the numer-
Gus saloons ablaze, the pianos sound

crowded dance-halls incessant.
Riot relgned unchecked. while the
quiet. sleepy town of the afternoon
blossomed under the Pickering lights
into a saturnalia of unlicensed pleas
ure, wherein the wages of sin were
death.
Hampton pushed his way through
the noisy throng with eyes ever watch
full for the faces.
Anything going on tonight worth
while, Jim?" he questioned, quietly.
Rather stiff game, they tell me, just

genial reply. 1.-TWO eastern suckers,

The gambler passed on, pushing
rather unceremoniously through the
throng of perspiring humanity. the
large front room upstairs was ablaze
with lights, every game in full opera
ton and surrounded by crowds OF de-
voices. He walked directly toward the
rear of the room. A thick, dingy red
curtain hung there; he held back its
heavy folds and stepped within the
smaller apartment beyond.
Three men sat at the single table

When selecting the embroidery for
the model shown here, an open pat

two good reasons. First, its airy effect
is smarter and prettier; and second,

Study the illustration closely and
you will find the bretelles are fin
ished with valenciennes lace. This
touch of lingerie is very pretty and
it softens the bretelles in a smart
and becoming fashion. Two rows of
edging are used. The first row is
whipped almost fiat to the beaded edge
of the band. The second, slightly
fulled, is sewed to the first so that 1t
projects from beneath its scalloped
edge.
The bretelles slope off narrower at
the ends. This effect may be secured
by plaits or darts where the bretelle
enters the belt. The fullness in the
waist where it meets the yoke may be
disposed of in gathers, in pointed
shocking, or in handmade pin-tucks
which are shortened as they near the
shoulder. The exact cost of the little
