After disporting about the room

well with silver or gold.
Another late shade is sacre, a COM

ostrich plumage and flowers, but must
be used with discretion on account OF
its brillfance.
In mauye the latest are prelate,
evecque and peryenchee. The first
two are rich, deep ecclesiastical pur.

lavender, slightly pinkish in tone.

faintest touch of apricot in the cast

Walking skirts.

Enter the tweed skirt that Is short,

Aefying. It is a practical walking skirt
for mountain climbers, for "shirtWaist
girls" for city business women.
There are many styles to copy when
making 1t. The circular skirt is always
good IL you are able to prevent sag
ging at the back seam. This can be
done by sewing q tape with the edges
the full length Of the back seam.
The two-piece skirt with the seams
at the sides is very satisfactory.
Then there Is the circular form, with
piecing at the center line OF both back
and front.
a deep hem is stitched with eight or
ben hows of stitching: little pocket
with a buttoned flap is added, and a
narrow stitched belt Of the same ma
eerial finishes the eminently practical

Man Without a Conscience Visits Nu-

named Quace Mensch, and he had an
interesting career.
He was an Accra, and he had been
trained by some Englishmen, who had
taken him to London. There he had
got into a fight of some kind, for
which he had spent a year in jail,
but he had learned to cook well, and
that is something that is worth while
In that part Of the world.

We can imagine nothing which adds
more to the slender appearance SC
