The Waist Line.

The waist line of most new models
has crept down to its normal place
and a form of compromise much af-
fected in the new models includes a
lowered waist line. but keeps the lose
fitting straightness, the result being a
sen.i-htting princess effect, suggest
ing the natural curves of the figure,
but not defining them. Thus, If the
short waist should be out Of style, the
model will pass muster, and yet, If
present lines retain their prestige the
loose straightness will affect the
heightened waist.

"Mr. Justice Rallies

BY z. w. Hornung, author of .sThe Amateur
Cracksmanr etc. Published By Charles
seribner's Sons, New York. Price sl.5o.
Some time ago Mr. Hornung felt it
necessary to kill Raffles for fear bis
readers would grow tired of him, but
they were all so grief stricken that
he has hunted through his treasures
and dug up an episode in the past OF
Rafles which is as fine as anything we
know of that audacious craftsman.
This splendid adventure the author has
woven into a novel, a real. whole book,
all devoted TO Raffies, and perhaps the
best piece of work yet turned out by
this clever writer.
A seoundrelly Jewish money lender,
one Daniel Levy. is the most important
person in the plot. Into his vile clutches
have fallen a father and son, who care
fully keep the secret from each other.
The son, Teddy Garland, is one Of the
great crieketers of England and is
Just engaged to girl in whom Rafies
is more than slightly interested
Rafies' first duty is to smooth out
Teddy's difficulties, and in the course
of this adventure he stumbles upon the
knowledge of the fathers troubles. At
the same time Levy asks him for help
in famous case about 10 come TO
court and Raffies sees an opportunity
to kill two birds with one stone. He
will help Levy, but his pay is to be
the Strengthening cut of the elder Car

narrative one feaFfully funny episode

1 only hope 1 shall be able to pull out

The deneuement in the Levy case is
thrilling, for he has to be kidnapped in
order to be taught his lesson. and it is
no easy task The whole tale is told by
the faithful friend. Bunny whom we
have known now for so many years.
Bunny is quite as dull as Sherlock
Holmes Doctor Watson and is used in
the same way. His cowardice is quite
unnecessary and takes away what in
terest we might otherwise feel for him.
However, it is a small matter in so
good book to eriticise the unimpor-
tant Bunny. The reader will find 1t i'm
possible to lay the book aside after
taking it up, and the story is SO plausi-
BILE and SO eonyineingly told that one
reaches the end in bTeathless excite
ment and with much regret.

it needed no signature TO identity it's
author. The story has not quite the
vital interest OF ''Rebeeea OF Sunny

Susanna. the mother. takes first place
in the story and little Sue is incidental
though necessary and charming.
The book tells the story OF Susannas
home made miserable by her hus-
bands drinking and neglect. She en-
dures it as long as possible and then
takes little year Sue and runs
away to a Shaker settlement where
she herself had visited as a child
The husband is left with the 10 year
old boy Jack. whom he takes TO his
widowed sister and he himself is
shocked into reform. The days OF his
reform are briefly sketched, but most
of the story describes the life at the
Shaker settlement. The author has
drawn her picture with a sure hand.

that her duty is at home; that she
