Johns face flushed a little.
"And you let me think you knew

"You seemed to take 1t for granted.
I will admit that I have played the
game. That sound funny, doesn't it?
But we girls had what we considered
a very fair team - for the woolly
West. Of course we all knew about
Teddy Garth and his weak spots. We
made that chant to put heart and life
in him at critical moments-and it

A young man was stretching up his
hand to the girl.
"You did it, Anna" he cried. "It
came at the exact psychological mo-
ment. The old chant stunned me at
irst-then 1 laughed and the danger
was passed"
The girl touched John Remington's
sleeve.
"Mr. Remington" she said. II

"You must give me further opportu-

This one is smart in the extreme, pro-
vides fulness enough for grace in
walking, yet is narrow and straight in
effect, as the pleats are designed to
be pressed fat. In the illustration 1t
is made of the hop sacking that will
be 80 much worn during the coming
season, but 1t Is appropriate for all
skirting materials, those Of the pres
ent as well as those of the future, and
it will also be found a most satisfac-
tory model for the entire gown and
for the coat suit. The lines are all
desirable ones and the skirt can be
relied upon to be smart and satisfac-
tory in every way.
The skirt is cut in seven cores.
There is an extension at the back
edge of each gore below the scallops,
and these extensions form the pleats.
The scallops are designed to be un-
der-faced or finished in any way that
may be preferred and afford excellent
opportunity for the use of the FASH
ionable buttons. The fulness at the
back Is laid In inverted p!eats.

if 1 don't remember I will do my best
to keep STILL"
"Nc, no." he said, "you must ask
all the questions you are to ask. I
don't want to spoil your enjoyment,
and it would be spoiled if things hap
pened that you couldn't understand"
John felt that he was very mag
unanimous in this, his ~magnanimity
being considerably strengthened by
the fact that the people about him
were strangers.
every WELL" said the girl. "And
if I ask anything too dreadful you
must give me a barbarian look and
scare me back into silence"
The out-of-town team came on the
field and went through its practice,
and John pointed out the players and
explained their special lines Of skill,
and the girl gave him close atten-
ton.
"I have seen the names of these
men in the papers," she said, "and
it's certainly a pleasure to have them
pointed out. I want to tell you, Mr..
Remington, that I am enjoying all
this more than I can say. There is a
charm about the scene, a hypnotic at
traction. l don't wonder that men
are drawn here-and under the cir
cumstances it is very good of them
to let the ladies come too"
AS long as she talked like this
John was %contented. He was afraid
of wha, might happen after the play
began.
Then the gong sounded and the
home team had its practice, and
again John pointed out the players
and the girl listened closely.
do you know the tall young mar
who is just opposite us?" she asked.
John looked at the player and then
stared at his score card.
THAT must be the young Western
pitcher who has just Joined the club
and VINO gets his first chance in a big
game to-day. His name is Garth and
he is what is called a phenomenon
that is a player who has done Won
derful things"
81 hope he will do wonderful things
to-day" said the girl.
That's scarcely to be hoped"
laughed John. HE will be up against
the heaviest hitting team in the
league, and the chances are that he
will lose his nerve long before the
game is over"
THAT would be too bad" said the
girl. "He looks SO young and hope
full"
According to the papers," John
went OF, she should be good for
about six innings. In the seventh

the good seats will be gone il you
don't hurry"
it wasn't a long walk to the game
and il it hadn't been for the game
John would have wished it longer.
The girl from the West talked In a
lively and pleasing fashion of her
impressions of the East and John for
the most Part listened. There was
one thing certain, he told himself,
there was nothing about the appear
ance Of this Western maiden that
need cause him any uneasiness-
quite the contrary, in fact.
It was evident that other people
expected the game would be @ hum.
mer. When John and the girl en-
tered the grand stand a majority of
the seats were taken, but Johns
quick eye detected two unoccupied
places in the front row.
"If You are not afraid Of chance
fouls" he said, Eve will sit here
And then he remembered that it was
quite likely the girl knew no more
about fouls than she did about San
sc-it.
do you think I ought to be
afraid?" she mildly asked.
He assured her that the danger
was slight, and after they were seated
he looked around in the hope that he
was out Of earshot Of his friends. To
his relief he failed TO discover any
personal acquaintance in his imme-
date neighborhood.
Here, he thought, was an admir-
able opportunity to give the girl a few
instructions in the art OF playing
the game.

Elastic girdles seem to have taken
O firm stand in fashion, and they are
a rather becoming adjunct to any cos.

introduce a little bit Of gold. Those
which show the embroidery on one
arm, band on the other, and work On

are six inches wide, made of cloth OF

The old Manor Hall is the pride of the city of Yonkers. The front part
was built in 1852 by Frederick Phiupse, the first Lord of the Manor OF
Phripsburg. L. was completed by the addition of the back part in 1745.
The building remained in the possession Of the Phiipse family until ITO
when because of the toryism of the Frederick Phiipse of that day-the
third Lord of the Manor-it was confsaed by an act Of the Legislature Of
New York. 1t was used by private families until 1868. Since 1879 1t has
been the CITY Hall of Yonkers. The old structure has had the best of care
