CHAPTER XVII.
A Clash and a Kiss


The clash that came that evening
had been threatening for some time.
Take an immovable body, represented
by Mr.. HARRISON and his square jaw,
and an irresistible force, Jimmy and
his weight, and there is bound to be
trouble
The real fault was Jim's. He had
gone entirely mad again over Bella,
and thrown prudence to the winds.
He mooned at her across the dinner
table, and waylaid her on the stairs
or in the back halls, just to hear her
voice when she ordered him out of the
way. He telephoned for flowers and
candy for her quite shamelessly, and
he got out book of photographs that
they had taken on their wedding jour
ney. and kept it on the library table.
The sole concession he made to our
presumptive relationship was to bring
me the responsibility for everything
that went wrong, and his shirts for
buttons.
The first heard of the trouble was
from Dal. He waylaid me In the hall

Goat and Dress Sets.

Some Of the most attractive coat
and dress sets. consisting of sailor
collar and large turnback cuffs, are
shown in white mousseline or plain
Swiss, with no further elaboration than
hemstftched hem. This follows the
strong French vogue for similar ef-
fects in large berthas and collars that
are used on dressy gowns.
Hemstitching, by the way, is a ia
vorite feature on French gowns and
accessories of almost every kind of
fabric, and can be used with excellent
advantage on neckwear. Where hem
stitching cannot be conveniently IN
troduced narrow beading and yelling
are used instead.

MISERABLE WEATHER
IN THE MIDDLE STATES
The Return of Frank r. Stewart From

Frank r. Stewart returned on Tues
day night from Columbus, Ohio. where
he went to attend the funeral of his
father who recently died at Kansas

sas City by his brother, who is resi-
dent of Chicago. and the body was
taken by them to the old homo of the
family at Columbus.
The winter weather in all that re-
gion. Mr.. Stewart said, was the worst

To zero from 40 above This sudden
ness of the fall chilled the city so that
pedestrians in walking half a dozen
blocks were almost frozen.
Weather conditions were no better at

stopping at the Neill house. one of the
most famous and oldest of OhiO's hos

Mr.. Stewart left the windows of his
room open and when he awoke from

When he went into the lobby of the
hotel he issued a proclamation which
he repeated to all of his acquaintance
during his stay. 1t ran something like
this: IF | ever had a desire to return
