week together, they We're much more

Eva was SO glad to have some one
always at hand on whom she could
rely. and whom she felt she could trust,
that she tool Sadie almost entirely into
her confidence. 1t was the happiest
week she had spent since her marriage,
she declared once. and came very near
to telling all about her old love story.
That was on the day before Jack was
to come again. Sadie had been reading
aloud, and the talk had drifted from
the poem--"Evangeline"-to love and
lovers in general. and the parting of
lovers in particular, with pointed refer
ence to faith IN absence. Presently

CLINGING ROBES
TO Be FORGOTTEN
Paris DEGREES the End OF the
Sheath, Tube. Glue. Colante
and All Such Modes.

The sensation in the Partisan ucrid
of dress Is the widening skirt. which II
coming into fashion so rapidly that
the sheath" and tube dresses win,
when the modes of the spring are made
manifest, be found very much in the
background.
There is really no reason to wender
why such will be the case after the
absurd exaggeration to which the mar
row skirt has attained. 1t has pu
women into positions Of just as much
grotesque inconvenience as the nam
moth hat did when 1t was al the Zenith
of its popularity.
Toilettes that are going from Paris
to the Riviera have skirts that are cer-
tainly wider than those deemed modisf
at present. They fall IN full folds upor
the ground and have trains less wisp-
like in their appearance than the ones
to which we have been accustorned
lately.
The draped bodice is also a charac-
~teristic of many of the frocks seen on
the boulevards last week, and to ac-
count for them, very supple cloths are
being used, capable of a1ording folds
that are yoluminous without being
bulky.
Even the clinging princess dress has
greater width now than it had at the
edge Of the skirt, and the effect when
worn is as if a petticoat we're the ac-
compartment of the dress, instead Of
the jupe pantalon. Many women who
have persistently refused the tube or
fourreau costume will find themselves
in he first rank of fashion ere long.
1t is not only in gowns that these
more sane characteristics are being
made apparent; IN notices them ifrthe
e cloaks for restaurant and evening
wear in general. Indeed, there would
apear to be a risk of such all envefop-
ing mantles ranging themselves ou.the
side of exaggeration, and that not OF
attenuation, but of a s~uperiuits Of
circumstances

I promise you"
Poor child, All her troubles made
the gossip of the servants hall, was
Sadie's thought. At least those troubles
which lay SO near the surface. For
that there were others and much
graver ones under the surface, Sadie
o 0 perceived.
She thought long over that business
of the will and its inner meaning. She
knew the two men in Who's power Eva
was SO well, that she was at times al
most frightened ut the sinister thoughts
which would force themselves uponher.
The camp sponge had not hesitatcd
even at murder when his own ends APP
pealed TIA him. She would not trust
him with the life of q dog. And half a
million Of money would be his, were
anything to happen TO Eva, and now
that the will was made, a further mill
ion and more would come to him If the
death, about which Jack had jested so
lightly, should occur first.
Nor was Gilbert Dorrison any better
than his cousin. OF that she was on
WINGED; and seeing the desirability of
drawing the net a little closer round
him. she caused a letter to be post
ed from Paris to Don Stuart in
London. instructing him to take yer
secretly and under cover of another
name all Dorrison's debts and promis-
sorry notes
Then a very significant confirmation
OF her opinion of porrison came to her
from a most unexpected source

NEEDLE and THREAD

The darning stitch is a very useful
one. and is quite effective when used
on a loose woven material, like curtains
and ~hangings. The darning should be
even in appearance, and this a be
obtained by passing the needle under
and wei the same group of threads,
thu making a continuous line of the
background threads.
Uneven darning is often used for fill
ing a background. This is made so that
the rows of stitches alternate, the long
one coming below the tiny plain space
above, like bricks in a wall.
