WEAR SHIRT WAIST RIGHT
It Should Suit Your style, Be Put on
Properly and Pinned Where
II Belongs.

IF you're going to wear q shirt
waist. wear It right" was the en-
phatic remark OF one girl to another,
as she surveyed disapprovingly the
blouse worn by another. which
"skewed" in the back and was baggy
under the arms where 1t should have
been taut and trim.
In the first place. suit your shirt
waists to your style. To some the
severely tailored waists are infinitely
more becoming than any other; while
to another contingent the more elaD'
crate. 'dressy" modes are In better
correspondence with the wearer. DIS
cover which kind is best for you and
hold to 1t.
Then, as to accessories. Frills and
pleetings may not be your style;'
jabots and cascades no better. A short
jaoot may be becoming and one tina
falls below the bust line much less so
This is a discovery you are to make
for yourself, and having made 1t. dom
be tempted from your knowledge.
Don't think because you wear "1ust
a shirt waist" you can get into 1t any
old way. Put 1t on properly, pin II
down where 1t belongs; establish close
connections with 1t and the skirt;
make 1t do you credit. A ten cent per
Gale will look better and have more
style properly put on than a hand EN-
broidered linen that isn't. And don't
forget 1t.

SOME NOVELTIES IN HATPINs
BOOSTERS, Pheasants and Owl Heads
Some With Combs and Feet OF
Coiored Jewels.

The woman who a not stand for
Chantecler hats can achieve a touch
of the barnyard In her hatpins. There
are ROSTERS, p~heasants. owl heads ga.
lore, from cheap ones Of small size
in imitation enamel or silver to huge
affairs in rhinestones with combs and
feet of colored jewels.
Some of these rhinestone pins are
three inches long from comb to claws.
Usually they present a side view when
in the hat, occasionally they are set
to look as If just stepping forth for a
morning crow, showing both sides of
the body studded.
Huge colored enamel hat pins have
superseded rhinestone ones for the
moment, though the former when OF
good quality are always in style. A
e~ood-looking one has a large heart
worked out In various tones OF red
enamel d~elicately lined with gold.
The girl who would make sure OF
having her powder puff ever with her
now carries 1t in her hat pin So
huge are some Of the new pins that
there Is room for quite a sizeable pow
der puff, when the hinged lid is lifted.
So skillful is the workmanship that
none but the initiated suspect the
complexion safeguard.
with q set Of these pins one can be
used for powder, the second for nail
polish or rouge and the third for tiny
channels.

USES FOR RIBBONS
HERE FASHION HAS DRAWN THE
LINE TIGHTLY.
Each Season Demands Changes, the
Majority Of Which Are Easily Ac-
compIished-coIor Scheme Al
ways to Be Remembered.

It might seem at first thought that
the correct use of ribbon Is one Of the
easiest things in life. but each season
ushers in its own especial use of the
different widths, If not of particular
kinds and qualities. all of which block
the way to success through past ex-
perience.
To say that the sash is to be worn
is not to mean necessarily the 12-fnch
ribbon that meant sash" a few years
ago; and to proclaim the hat with the
ribbon bow is not to tie any sort OF
a little bow and believe ones self
walking the rope Of fashion.
Fashion draws her rope tightly, and
makes little allowance for deviations
from its difficult way.
The ribbon as a sash Is admitted
when in its softest form 1t hangs in
two long slim ends, very much as II It
bias liberty. To accomplish this
effect the ends are tied sometimes
into knots, with end, and again into
actual bows, which weight them into
a graceful fall.
Ribbon may also be folded success
fully into the sash for the waist CIR
die, when, for this use, also. 1t Is OF q
liberty quality.
The hat bow of the season demands
breadth Of ribbon and crispness OF
quality.
Ribbon has been used successfully as
a tunic edge for the marquisette and
chiffon drapery of the figured foulard
gown, and it Is the color touch on
many a pretty garden party frock.
Here, If anywhere. is ribbon at its
best. The buttonholed slot provides
successful openings for the slipping in
and out Of folded wide ribbons and OF
two-inch ribbon velvets. These are
used in gayest colors on the handsome
white or ecru frock and on the bower
sprigged or embroidered null and the
dotted swiss. Black or lavender rib
bons slipped into the natural eyelet
spaces in black and white embroid-
cred robes are an unusual treatment
of the summer frock for those who
wear light mourning.
Always successful as summer neck
ties are the medium widths Of soft
ribbon, whether tied in a bow or
knotted into a four-in-hand.
Color enters largely into the sue
cessful use of ribbon, and not alone
are the brightest tones called into
requisition in the furnishing of hat
and gown. The French are fond OF a
certain deep prune ribbon on black
hats, and the combination is not far
from ravishing so unusual Is it. Black
| ribbon on the dark blue hat or on the
gray hat is as successful as certain
combinations of black MORE ribbon
with burnt straw and with ecru rafda
fabric.
Changeable ribbons. last Of all. be-
cause they are the newest and also
for reasons of convenience. Straws
are not easy to match and neither are
mat rails, and the two-toned ribbon
is frequently the only possible hat
trimming that will shade harmoni-
ously into both.

But what could have done it?" Ger
trude asked. HE vas all right this
evening at dinner. Warner, what did
he say when you found him on the
porch?"
Warner looked shaken; his honest,
boyish face was colorless.
Just what / told you, Miss Innes.
He'd heen reading the paper down
stairs; | had put up the car, and,
feeling sleepy, I came down to the
lodge to go to bed. AS / went up
stairs Thomas put down the paper
and taking his pipe went out on the
porch. Then I heard an exclamation
from him"
Didn't he say anything you could
understand" l asked.
"He said something about the grave
giving up it's dead"
Mr.. Jameson a going through the
old mans pockets, and Gertrude was
composing his arms, folding them
across his white shirt-bosom, always
so spotless.
In the course of his Investigations
the detective had come to the inner
pocket of the dead buffers black
coat Here he found some things that
interested him. One was a small fiat
key, with a red cord tied to it, and the
other was a bit of white paper, on
which was written something in
Thomas cramped hand. Mr.. jamie
son read it; then he gave it to me. 1t
was an address in fresh ink:
LUCIEN WALLACE,
IA Elm Street, Richfield.
AS the card went around, l think
both the detective and l watched for
any possible effect it might have, but,
beyond p~erplexity, there seemed to be
none.
"Richfeld!" Gertrude exclaimed.
why, Elm street is the main street;
don't you remember, Halsey?"
'Lucien Wallace!" Halsey said.
THAT is the child Stewart spoke of at
the inquest"
Warner, with his mechanics in
stinct, had reached for the key. What
he said was not a surprise.

key to the east entry"
There was no reason why Thomas,
an old and trusted servant, should
not have had a key to that particular
door, although the servants entry
was in the west wing. But / had not
known of this key, and it opened up
a new field of conjecture. just now,
however, there were many things to
be attended to, and, leaving Warner
with the body we all went back to the
house. Mr.. Jameson walked with
me, while Halsey and Gertrude fol
lowed.

up the circular staircase to his room,
and Mr.. Jameson was examining the
locks of the windows. Halsey dropped
into a chair in the living room and
stared moodily ahead. Once he reused.
What sort of a looking chap is that
| Walker, Gertrude?" he asked.
Rather tall, very dark, smooth
shaver. Not bad looking" Gertrude
said, putting down the book she had
been pretending to read. Halsey
kicked a taboret viciously.
Lovely place this village must be
in the winter" he said i~rrelevantly.
"a girl would be buried alive here"
1t was then some one raped at the
knocker on the heavy front door. Hal
sey got up leisurely and opened it,
admitting Warner. He was OF OF
breath from running, and he looked
half abashed.
Il am sorry to disturb you," he said.
"But 1 didn't know what else to do.
It's about Thomas"
What about Thomas?" l asked.
MI. Jameson had COM into the hall
and we all stared at Warner.
He's acting queer" Warner e
planned. He's sitting down there on
| the edge of the porch, and he says he
has seer a ghost. The old man looks
bad, too; he can scarcely speak"
Hes as full of superstition as an
| egg is of meat" / said. "Halsey, bring
some whisky and we will all go
down."
No one moved to get the whisky,
from which l judged there were three
pocket TASKS ready for emergency.
Gertrude threw a shawl around my
| shoulders, and we all started down
over the hill; l had made SO many
nocturnal excursions around the place
that l knew my way perfectly. But
| Thomas was not on the veranda, nor
was he inside the house. The men
exchanged significant glances, and
Warner got a lantern.
"He can't have gone far" he said.
"He was trembling so that he couldn't
stand when l left"
Jameson and Halsey together made
the round of the lodge, occasionally
calling the old man by name. But
there was no response. No Thomas
came, bowling and showing his white
teeth through the darkness. began
to be vaguely uneasy, for the first
time. Gertrude, who was never nerv-
GUS in the dark, went alone down the
drive to the gate, and stood there,
looking along the yellowish line Of the
road, while l waited on the tiny YER
anda.
Warner was puzzled. He came
around to the edge of the veranda
and stood looking at it as if it ought
to know and explain.
HE might have stumbled into the
house." he said, "but he could not
have climbed the stairs. Anyhow, he's
not inside or outside, that I can see.'
The other members of the party had
come back now, and no n had
found any trace of the old man. His
pipe, still warm, rested on the edge
of the rail, and inside on the table his
old gray hat showed that its owner
had not gone far.
He was not far, after all. From the
table my eyes travelled around the
room, and stopped at the door Of q
closet. I hardly know what impulse
moved me, but / went in and turned
the knob. It burst open with the i'm
petus of a weight behind It, and some
thing fell partly forward in a hear

BANK KNOWS WHERE ITS
MISSING CLERK NOW IS

New York, July 27.-Counsel for Err
win Wider, who has been formally
charged by officials of the Russo-Chin-
csc bank with stealing $4,000 worth Of
bonds, admitted Saturday that he
knows where his client is and intimat-
ed that Wider and the bank are now in
touch.
The bonds have not been negotiated,
although 1t Is strongly limited that they
have been hypothecated with various
Wall street brokers. Neither has the
case been reported to the police, and
Widers lawyer hopes that If the bonds
can be restored to the bank there will
be no prosecution.
Under the rule Of the stock exchange,
II a broker accepts collateral from a
client who does not own It, and If the
client loses on his speculation, the
broker must restore the collateral to
the rightful owner and accept the
clients losses or forfeit his right to do
business on h exchange. So that
there Is much curiosity as to the iden-
tity Of the brokerage house with which
Wider traded and as to what measures
Of responsibility 1t will be forced to
assume, either by the courts or by the
stock exchange. Wider's lawyer prom
Ised to make a statement and 1t ID
possible that names may come out
then.
