A New Silk.

Aluminium silk has been used rath-
er sparingly hitherto In the shape of
girdles and sashes. Now it has come
out in blouse form, and the result is
decidedly attractive. One blouse of
this silk is made on tailored shirt
lines with broad, nat plaits and is re-
lIeved at the throat by a fold OF pur-
pie velvet beneath a frill OF malines
lace. In more elaborate style this silk
is admirable to wear with q suit OF
gray ottoman silk or q coat Of gray
fur.

p. S.-I,ve meant to look you UP for
ever so long and will the first moment

Below this was penciled the amour:
due, and Selwyn's face grew very seri
ous.
The letter he wrote in return ran:
Dear Geraki-Ch,ck inclosed to your or.
der. By the way can't you lunch with
ne at the Lenox club some day this
week? Write. wire or telephone when.
Yours, SELWYN
When he had sent the note away by
the messenger he walked back to the
bay window, hands in his pockets,
worried expression in his gray eyes.
This sort of thing must not be repeat
ed. The boy must halt in his tracks
and face sharply the other way Be
sides, his own income was limited
much too limited to admit of many
more loans of that sort.
He ought to see Gerald at once, but
somehow he could not in decency ap-
pear personally on the heels of his
loan. A certain interval must elapse
between the loan and the lecture. In
fact, he didn't see very well how he
could admonish and instruct until the
loan had been canceled-that is, until
the first of the new year.
Pacing the floor, disturbed, uncertain
as to the course he should pursue, he
looked up presently to see Miss Enroll
descending the stairs, fresh and sweet

his eye she waved a silvery chinchilla
muff at him-a marching salute-and
passed on, calling back to him. Don't

dow watching the brougham below,
where Nina awaited Miss Enroll. Then
abruptly he turned back into the room
and picked up the telephone receiver.
muttering, "This is no time to mince
matters for the sake Of appearances" !"
And he called up Gerald at the Offices
Of Neergard & Co.
''Is It you, Gerald?' he asked pleas
antly. ITS all right about that mat
ter. I've sent you q note by your mes
senger. But l want to talk to you
about another matter-something con-
cerning myself. l want to ask your
