With dark gowns these panti-

the princess undergarment shown
in the first illustration.
Enterprising Paris is, of course,
responsible for the panticoat, and
it will soon be popular with all
artistic American women who

With the long sweep of the one
piece gowns the wearer must be
careful to preserve the unbroken
lines. The question of the proper
lingerie to wear. under these dress
es has long been problem in the
minds of the fashionable modiste

her best advertisement. The pet
ticoat Is too voluminous, narrow
as it has been, and the woman
who wears none at all looks vulgar
too suggestive of the Salome

the problem. 1t is made of thin

 The Yellow Room By GAsToN LERoUx j. COPYRIGHT sr l's ss1srAso.
By GASTON LEROUx

We were now out of the park. Rouls. eabilie had dropped into silence. His thoughts were certainly still occupied with Frederic Larsan's new cane. I had proof of that when. as we came near to Epinay. he said:
 Frederic Larsan arrived at the Chandler before me. He began his in- quiry before nle. He has had time to find out things about which I know nothing Where did he find that canef" Then he added: Tt is probable that his suspicion-more than that, his req soning-has led him to lay his hand on something tangible. Has this cane anything to do with 1t? Where the deuce could he have found itl"
 As had to wait twenty minutes for the train at Epinay. we entered a cab aret. Almost immediately the door opened, and Frederic Larsan made his appearance. brandishing his famous cane.
 Il found it," he said laughingiy.
 The three of us seated ourselves at a table. Rouletabille never took his eyes of the cane. He was so absorbed that he did not notice sign Larsan made

had not heard from him for 6 week, nor of the progress made witf that mysterious case, except by the in numerable paragraphs in the newspa pers and by the very brief notes of Rouletabille in the Epoque. Those notes had divulged the fact that traces of human blood had been found or the mutton bone as well as fresh traces of the blood of Mile. Sanger son. The old stains belonged to other crimes, probably dating years back.
 It may be easily imagined that the crime engaged the attention of the press throughout the world. No crime known had more absorbed the minds of people. It appeared to me, how ever. that the judicial inquiry was making but very little progress, and should have been very glad If, on the receipt of my friends invitation to re join him at the Chandler. the dispatch had not contained the words, Bring revolvers."
 That puzzled me greatly. Rouieta' billie telegraphing for revolvers meant that there might be occasion to use them. Now, ! confess it without shame, am not hero. But here was friend evidently in danger call ing on me to go to his aid. l did not hesitate long, and after assuring my self that the only revolver I possessed was properly loaded I hurried toward the Orleans station. On the way remembered that Rouletabille had asked for two revolvers. I therefore entered a gunsmith's shop and bought an excellent weapon for my friend.
 I had hoped to find him at the sta ton at Epinay. but he was not there However. . cab was waiting for me and 1 was soon at the Chandler. No body was at the gate. and it was only on the threshold of the chateau that met the young man. He saluted me with friendly gesture and threw hia arms about me, inquiring warmly as to the state of my health.
 When we were in the little sitting room of which I have spoken Roule- tabille made me sit down.

They slowly passed along the wall abuttin5 on the Avenue Marigny. l took the central alley, walking parallel with them, and then crossed over for the purpose of getting nearer to them. The night was dark, and the grass deadened the sound of my steps. They had stopped under the vacillating light of a gas jet and appeared to be both bending over a paper held by Mile. Stangerson. reading something which deeply interested them. stopped in the darkness and silence.
 Neither of them saw me. and dis tinctly heard Mile.
