He had-hfs house in Paris. his chateau
In the country and his villa at Cannes
was an earthly paradise. His yacht
Sirius had entertained royalty in
every part Of the world. 1t seemed
that De Rumilly had only to form in
his mind a vague desire of any kind
ana some mysterious power executed

He-wasa not married, although there
was not a woman In France who
would not have been proud to put
her hand in his. 1t was supposed
that he had met no one who tempted
him to give up his bachelor existence
and there was much speculation as
to the possibility OF his losing his
heart.
I shared the general opinion until
one autumn when I passed several
days alone with him at the chateau.
We became very close frie-1s and
here I learned the secret sorrow of
this child OF fortune.
We had gone for an aim1ees walk
and after crossing the park OF the
chateau we took the road to the viii
lage. The cottagers all bowed and
smiled to De Rumilly and he stopped
to acknowledge their greetings and
inquire after their health. Suddenly
De Rumilly stopped and remained
staring fixedly and, following the
direction of his gaze, 1 saw nothing
but a small shop, unoccupied, and
with sign on the door which read:
"Shop TO rent"
The next moment De Rumilly took
my arm and in changed voice said:

I was too astonished to speak and
we walked on in silence, his arm still

Contrasts in Fabrics

The use of two fabrics in one costume,
when they are happily chosen, is at
tractive to the eye and to the sense of
economy, for the scant models of the
past few seasons have allowed little op-
portunity for making over without the
addition of some other material. Con-
trasts are sought in fabric and often in
color, and best of all, the sleeves, al
ways difficulty in the remodeling prob
lem, are seen in two fabrics A navy
blue serge, for example, may have little
jacket effects of black silk on the waist,
and the upper portion of the sleeves will
be of the black silk, with the lower of
the serge. Some sort of shaping will
be given the joining edges, to suggest
an intentional, and not pieced-out eff
feet. Remodeling is largely matter of
cutting the coat according to the cloth,
but many highly original effects are born
OF the planning contingent upon miss
ing corner on an otherwise satisfactory
piece of cloth. Many of the late winter
models show so much in the way of
chemisettes, cross-over bands, vest
edges, .plastron and panel and girdle
that, with these models in mind, the am
ateur dressmaker must exercise discre-
ton to avoid the effect of scraps and
patches. That all men do not think
alike saves life from a dull monotony,
and there is the same gracious relief in

The position of the hip-pocket is ind-

There is also dart at the top of each

transferred to the cloth by making a
chalk mark through each; then, when
the pattern IS removed, go over these
chalk dots with tailors' tacks, that will
mark the outline of the dart-seam on
both pieces. Mark the pocket position
at the same time. Both darts are to be
taken up, but the pocket is made in the

been told that some unhappy small bows

Such a state of affairs demands instant
remedy, and illustrated proof that put
ting IN the pockets is really a simple
matter. The hip-pocket might be spared,
but the side-pockets-never! The first
illustration shows how these are pre-
pared. Drilling is the best material for
these pockets, as they need to be strong.
A piece about ten inches square is folded

wide and ten inches deep. Pin one of
these to each front section of the knick-
ers, and trim the edges to the same
shape as the cloth edge, which usually
slopes in trif1e toward the waist-line,

indicate the length of the pocket-open-

the solution of the only difficulties in

The hip-pocket is placed first, then the

The facing at the top of the knickers
may be made wide enough to extend be-
low the belt, and in that case it will
cover the canvas and make neat in

should be trimmed and neatly over

elastic in the hem. Have the elastic tight
enough to avoid slipping down, but not

good plan will be to sew hook on one
end and an eye on the other of the

to lap at least an inch, and the leg-seam
on the outside should be left open; per-
