GaiIuses,

II is claimed that the galluses are
disappearing as a feature Of the APP
parel They are not artistic. and GER
tainly not aristocratic; that Is what is
claimed. The idea is that If trousers
is properly cut and fitted 1t sets so
neatly on the hips that 1t needs no
support, and therefore the presence Of
suspenders indicates that the. mans
apparel is the work of cheap tailor.
which is certainly not aristocratic.
If suspenders are to go. there Is q
better reason than this, and that is In
the trick Of the trade that leaves a
weak point in the suspenders-a place
that is always breaking and annoying
the wearer until his patience is gone.
Then he gets belt and goes without
suspenders, out of pure disgust He
would rather hitch up his trousers
than tie up his galluses.
But this article of apparel is not dis
appearing-not as long as ready-made
clothing is the joy of most men. The
suspenders necessarily go with this
habit. since the kidlike adjustment
about the hips is impossible.

ed when one or two men leaped at
him. One of them gained a footing
on the car. With one hand Haldane
threw on the high speed, with the
other he showed the pistol in the
mans face. The man fell back. The
car leaped suddenly forward The
chance was gone.
A moment after Gormly himself
came out of the street door. The men
were huddled in front OF the apart

cursing terribly.
"Ah, chief" said he urbanely, "un.

hands of Mr. Haldane in that car.
Goodnight, gentlemen"
He turned and walked back to the
hallway and took the elevator to his
own apartment.
He had put a bold face upon the
whole matter. He had taken the
brave, the wise, course, which after
all was the only prudent course to
take. He had not weakened under the
tremendous pressure of the situation

himself with amazing GOODNESS and
courage. Yet the man was absolute.

or not the honorable reputation he
had built up by years of just and gen.
erous dealing, would vanish, he could
not tell; and to be truthful, at that
moment, these questions were not the
chief of those which filled his heart.
He asked himself how Eleanor Hal
dane would receive the disclosure, and
what effect it would have upon her.
Although she had been overwhelmed
by the revelation of her fathers po-
sition, Gormly bad learned from
young Haldane that he had not there.
by forfeited her regard.
Now what difference would this
make to her? She had said several
times that what she admired in him
was his splendid record, his unblem-
ished honor, his unspotted past. And
now what would she think?
He might have made his defense
stronger He might have said that
the woman had shot the man. He
might have declared her abandonment
of him in the snow storm. her leaving
him to die. He might have pointed
out that he had assumed the guilt to
shelter her; but chivalry was strong
in Gormly.
He thought long time about the
situation, plunging in deeper and
deeper gloom and sadness as the
hours dragged by. At last he aban
doned all hope of ever winning the
woman that he loved. Well, he would
devote himself with more singleness
of heart on that account to the in
terest of the people: if indeed. after
this, they still thought him worthy oil

Tailored skirts are not so straight

Some have a slightly aised waist

others show a normal line, with a
