HEADeEAR FOR THE MOTOR TUB DRESSES FOR A DOLLAR
Dainty Frocks In All Sorts Of Designs

the smart little dresses which she will

summer. ~,"~"s"''~'~[9
Two things should be remembered.
One is that much trimming of any
sort detracts both from the cool eff.
feet Of the gown and makes 1t bad to
launder; the second is that howeves
dainty the very light materials are
they are far less serviceable than a
plaid or a plain buff or blue dress.
AS to the question Of expense, be-
gin with the pattern. Choose one OF
the new ones that are capable Of being
carried out in several different fash
ions, with or without the high waist
line or with long or short sleeves and
with or without yoke. Thus for IS
cents you will provide yourself with
a pattern for several frocks.
Next, few yards of white null and
some inexpensive lace will make
broad collars and cuffs and a f1chu or
a dainty pointed yoke, all Of which
will serve as trimming. for your
gowns.
Then as to materials. Ginghams,
plain ones. may be purchased as low
as and 10 cents a yard. A good
quality of lawn In dark colors 10
only a cent or two more in price.

Howard sleepily half opened his

His patience exhausted, Underwood
was about to pull him from the sofa

the front door.
Bending quickly over his compan-

less hair than the women Of other
lands, then we are compelled to ad-

CHAPTER VII.

For a few moments Underwood wal
too much overcome by emotion t
speak. Alicia brushed by in naughty
silence, not deigning to look at him
All he heard was the soft rustic Of
her clinging silk gown as 1t swept
along the floor. She was incensed
with him, of course, but she had
come. That was all he asked. She
had come in time to save him. He
would talk to her and explain every
thing and she would understand
She would help him in this crisis as
she had in the past. Their long
friendship, all these years of intimacy
could not end like this. There was
still hope for him. The situation was
not as desperate as he feared. He
might yet avert the shameful end of
the suicide. Advancing toward her,
he said in a hoarse whisper:
"Oh, this is good of you, you've
come-this is the answer to my let
ter"
Alicia ignored his extended hand
and took a seat Then, turning on
him, she exclaimed Indignantly:
THE answer should be a horse
whip. How dare you send me such
messenger" Drawing from her bag
the letter received from him that
evening, she demanded:
What do you expect to gain by
this threat?"
Don't be angry, Alicia"
Underwood spoke soothingly, trying
to conciliate her. Well he knew the
seductive power of his voice. Often
he had used 1t and not in vain, but
tonight 1t fell on cold, Indifferent
ears.
Don't call me by that name" she
snapped.
Underwood made no answer. He
turned slightly paler and, folding his
arms, just looked at her, in silence.
There was an awkward pause.
At last she said:
Il hope you understand that every

quaintance is at an end"
MY feelings toward you can never
change" replied Underwood earnest

snce.

Underwood advanced nearer to hel
and there was tremor In his voice
as he said:
"You have no right to say that. You
remember what we once were. Whose

that she contained herself. Now she
