STATIONERY IN THE BOUDOIR
French Dimity This season Seems to

Of the Young Girl.

For a young girls use there is no

CHAPTER XII.

Unable to control herself any
longer Annie broke down completely
and burst into tears. When the door
opened and she saw her husband led
away, pale and trembling, between
those two burly policemen, it was as
If all she cared for on earth had
gone out of her life forever. Capt.
Clinton laid his hand gently on her
shoulder. With more sympathy in his
face than was his custom to display,
he said:
Now, little woman-'tain't no kind
of use carrying on like that! If you
want to help your husband and get
him out Of his trouble you want to
get busy. Sitting there crying your
eyes out won't do him any good"
Annie threw up her head. Her eyes
were red, but they we're dry now. Her
face was set and determined. The
captain was right Only foolish wom-

VELVET BANDS ARE 'KED
Some Kind of Black Adornment seen
on Almost Every Kind OF
Couture Today.

Black velvet bands, one or two,
studded with gold or jeweled buckles,
are for the classic style OF couture,
while the more coquettish girl uses
them finished with knot on each
side, a spray of silver aigrette on one
side or bunch of dropping silk rose
balls
Satin ribbon is used as twist,
soft folds, fiat bands, plain, embroid-
cred, beaded, lace appliqued, ditto
gilt, with a bow, fan. knot, ETC.. just
back of the left ear.
The exact position for the chief or
nament of a band is according to the
wearer's head, long, short, or broad
shape requiring different placing of
this finishing touch. All ages from
fifteen years wear hair ornaments.
1t will not be long before yellow
hair will again be the fashion. The
mahogany shade so long favored is
showing lighter effects all the time,
and hair dyes are rapidly approach
ing the straw tint. And 1t has been
made plain that the new gold or straw
tint is to be without luster.

Clinton turned to look at Annie, who
had been waiting patiently in the
background. Her anguish on seeing
Towards condition was unspeakable
1t was only with difficulty that she re
strained herself from crying out ano
rushing to his side. But these stern
uniformed men intimidated her. II
seemed to her that Howard was or
trial-a prisoner-perhaps his life was
in danger. What could he have done!
OF course, he was innocent, whatever
the charge was. He wouldn't harm
fly. She was sure of that. But every
one looked so grave, and there was
big crowd gathered in front OF the
hotel when she came up. She thought
she had heard the terrible word "mur
der" but surely there was some mis-
take. Seeing Capt. Clinton turn II
her direction, she darted eagerly for
ward.
May l speak to him, sir? He IL

the charge so serious"
"Murder-that's ALI" replied the
captain laconically.
Annie nearly swoomed. Had she
not caught the back Of chair she
would have fallen.
The captain turned to Maloney and
in low tone, said:
Quick! Get him over to the sta
ton. We don't want any family
scenes here"
Manacled to Officer Delaney and
escorted on the other side by Ma
loney, Howard made his way toward
the door. Just as he reached 1t he
caught sight of his wife who, witt
tears streaming down her cheeks
was watching him as If in a dream
To her It seemed like some hideout
nightmare from which both would
soon awaken. Howard recognized
her, yet seemed too dazed to wonder
how she came there. He simply
blurted out as he passed:
Something's happened. Annie, dear

The policemen pushed him through
the door, which closed behind him.

To Be Agreeable.

1t requires tact and Judgment, as we
all know, to decide when it Is best to
talk and when to listen. In the pres
ence OF men and women Of superior
talents and accomplishments, or OF
wide experience of the world, we must
be wary and not let our vanity run
away with US. To such persons we
may not be able to afford intellectual
stimulus, and therefore it will be we'll
70 avoid giving giving our opinions at
length, unless these are called for.
With men and women of small talent
and accomplishment we must also
be on our guard. lest they find us d.
dactic and wearisome. It is with our
intellectual equals, or with persons Of
a generous disposition who like to
draw out the talents Of others. that
we feel the greatest freedom and at
tain the happiest results.-Harper's
Bazaar.

The Waist Linz

Though the waist line is less YER
satile than 1t used to be, and Is more
and more inclined to assume the con-
ventional position, the empire effect
is still to be seen. For reception and
dancing gowns IT is graceful. and the
soft outline it gives to the figure is
deliAstfully picturesque. But for the
street all this is out Of place; 1t gives
the wearer a silhouette that is I'M
tidy, and suggests looseness that is
altogether Objectionable. In regard
also to evening gowns The same fault
may be found. So long as toilette
is to be worn chiefly while walking or
standing. the short waist is permissi-
ble-even desirable-but for a din
ner, concert or theater it is no longer
so. The bust unconfined falls out Of
shape. and the figure cut is most I'M
attractive-and 1t is the realization Of
this fact that has led e so many Of
the newest evening bodices being
made with swathed draperies and
close fitting lines.

that, no matter how black things
looked against him. She would not
leave a stone unturned till she had
regained for him his liberty. With
renewed hope in her heart and reso-
luton in her face, she turned tor con-
front the captain.
What has he done?" she demanded.
KILLED his friend, Robert Under
wood"
He watched her face closely to see
what effect his words would have on
her.
Robert Underwood dead!" ex-
claimed Annie with more surprise
than emotion.
YES" said the captain sternly,
"and your husband, Howard Jeffries,
killed him."
That's not true! I'd never believe
that" said Annie promptly.
He's made a full confession" went
on the captain.
"A confession!" she echoed uneasi-
ly. What do you mean?"
Just what l say. Your husband
has made a full confession in the
presence of witnesses, that he came
here to Underwood's rooms to ask
for money. They quarreled. Your
husband drew pistol and shot him.
He has signed confession which will
be presented to the magistrate this
morning"
Annie looked staggered for a mo-
ment, but her faith in her husband
was unshakeable. Almost Historically
she cried

you go I'd like to ask you few ques-
tons. Sit down."
He waved her to a chair and he sat
opposite her.
Nov, Mrs. Jeffries," he began en-
couragingly, tell me-did you ever
hear your husband threaten Howard
Underworld"
BY this time Annie had recovered
her self-possession. She knew that
the best way to help Howard was to
keep cool and to say nothing which
was likely to injure his cause. Boldly,
therefore, she answered:
You've no right to ask me that
question"
The captain shifted uneasily In his
seat He knew she was within her
legal right. He couldn't bully her
into saying anything that would i'm
criminate her husband.

to assist the authorities, to" he
stammered awkwardly.

calmly. Thank you, l understand my

fected POPULARITY. HE has confessed

CHAPTER X.-Continued.

Annie sat timidly on chair in the
background and the captain turned
again to the doctor.
Whats that you were saying, doc
tori"
you tell me the man confessed?"
Crossing the room to where Howard
sat, DR.. Bernstein looked closely at
him. Apparently the prisoner was
asleep. His eyes were closed and his
head dropped forward on his chest.
He was CHASTITY pale.
The captain grinned.

Eyes, captain"
SQuaring his huge shoulders, the
captain said with self-satisfied
chuckle:
ut took us five hours to get him to
own up, but we got 1t out of him at
last"
The doctor was still busy with his
examination.
HE seems to be asleep. Worn out,
/ guess. Five hours, yes-thats your
method, captain" Shaking his head,
he went on: 81 don't believe in these

The captain turned to his sergeant
and laughed:
1.-THE law of suggestion? Ha, ha!
That's a good one! You know, doctor,
them theories OF yours make a hit
with college students and amateur
professors, but they don't go with US.
You can't make a man say yes when
he wants to say no."
DR.. Bernstein smiled.
81 don't agree with you" he said.
"You can make him say anything. or
believe anything-or do anything II
he is unable to resist your will"
The captain burst into hearty peal
OF laughter.
'Ha, ha! What's the use Of
chinnin'? We've got him to rights.

say that my precinct amt cleaned up.
NV record is a hundred convictions

A faint smile lowered about the
doctors face.
81 know your reputation" he said
sarcasticahy.
The captain thought the doctor was
hattering him, so he rubbed his hands
with satisfaction, as he replied:
"That's right. I'm after results
None of them Psyche themes for
mine" Striding over to the armchair
where sat Howard, he laid a rough
hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, Jeffries, wake up"
Howard opened his eyes and stared
stupidity about him. The captain took
him by the collar of his coat.
"Come-stand upl Brace up now!'
Turning to Sergeant Maloney, he
added, Take him over to the station
Write out that confession and make
him sign It before breakfast I'll be
right over"
Howard struggled to bis feet and
Maloney helped him arrange his col
