One of the new-old notes In the
fashions Is the advent of the lit
tie Russian coat now called the
"Tolstoi caften."
1t is one of the most becoming
garments ever worn on slender
figures, and is sure to be a great
Ifavorite. The new shaggy wooden
materials are especially adapted to
Its lines.
These coats will be worn as sep
Iarate garments, or with one-piece
dresses made In the same material.
They will be fastened down the
left side of the front as seen in the
illustration. or directly down the
center of the front with the cord
and button fastenings. Just as the
Russian peasants wear them.
The suit illustrated is in the
ever popular black and white, SIM
ply trimmed with bands and belt
of black satin.
The broad trimmed white hat is
trimmed with soft folds of black
satin and single cream white
rose on either side. A heavily

She could not suppress an involun-

Harry was dear boy, and she felt
sure he would make Alice very
happy.
Late that afternoon, after 1eav-
ing Alice at the latter's house, she
again met Harry. He walked home

surprised. He did not appear to be

ognized it as the air of a new song
just out. The title Of the song was

in My Arms"
Although Married. knew that the
song was not meant for her. It
thrilled her strangely. She felt the
blood rush to her face and asham-
ed of her weakness, she hurried
into the house.
A night OF two later Harry was
to call on Married.. She had debated
whether she should allow him, as
she felt that he was in love with
another girl. but had finally decid-
ed that as he was not publicly en-
gagged it would be all right. As
Harry mounted the steps Of her
house that evening, she heard his
inevitable whistle. This time the
tune was that of Sweetheart, I've

That was the last straw. Married.

Harry to whistle such tunes at her

she felt that he meant nothing by
It. but 1t was getting ON her nerves.
And yet she couldn't directly say
anything about it to hime. because
that would show him that she real
1y cared for him. Accordingly she
hit upon the happy plan OF in
structing him through a song
which which she would play to him
on the piano. The song that she
played was this, Don't Make Love
to Me When Someone Else Has
Got Your Heart" She played 1t
several times 50 that Harry could
mot mistake her meaning.
