Pepita was Mexican girl living
with an aunt in southern California.
Pepita was an orphan and had inner
tied patch Of ground, on which the
two lived Near by was another Mex
lean family consisting of father. moth
er and one son, Enrique. just coming
of age. Enrique and Pepita, being
neighbors and there being no other
young men and women near by to di.
vert them from each other, naturally
loved.
One day a man was seen digging In
n patch of ground adjoining Pepita's
property. He was an American and.
though roughly dressed, gave evidence
of being a gentleman. Seeing Pepita
standing looking at him curiously, he
went over to where she was and ask
ed for a drink of water. Pepita got
it for him from a spring back of the
house, and the stranger chatted with
her. She asked him what he was dig
ging the hole for, and be said he was
prospecting. There had been no hunt
ing for the precious metals there be-
fore, and Pepita did not understand
what he meant
The stranger came over occasionally
after that for drink of water or to
borrow something. He said his name
was Thomas Burkhalter: that he was
the son of gentleman In the east.
He hadn't got on well with his father
and had come out west to shift for
himself Pepita thought him very
fine. After looking at his white face
Enrique's brown vlsage was not at all
attractive. Enrique noticed change
in her. but was at loss to account
for 1t.
One day man came to BurkhaIter's
hole He was well dressed man and
wore diamond stickpfn in his neck

halter standing together talking and
looking over at her house. The stran-
ger went away, and that evening
Burkhalter came over TO see Pepita
She asked him about the man who had
visited him. but Burkhaiter was I'M.
communicative on the subject One
thing Pepita noticed-that he was very
attentive and deferential to her.
Burkhalter during the next four or
five days did as much counting as is
usually done in months, sometimes in
years. He quite carried Pepita Off her
feet. She discovered that Enrique
knew nothing at all about making love
Enrique was much distressed. What
could he do? But Enrique had more
sense than Pepita and knew little
more about the world. though not
much more. At any rate. he bad sense
enough to suspect that Burkhalter had
some motive in devoting himself to
Pepita. He went TO an old rancher
who had always been kind TO him and

Thus insidious is the battle of the
enemies OF the bill OF course there
are not few in the Senate who would
be glad to fall behind such proposal.

row skirt is doomed 1t was tried on
the American public and was found
to be misfit Fortunately, we can
always count on the good sense and
good taste of the American woman to
rise superior to temporary whimsi-
cal and extreme ideas. The spring
menace of the trouser skirt found it's
antidote in the one-pantaloon-leg
skirt, made of two narrow widths.
and from this revulsion the timely TT
ted and wonderfully tailored skirt for
early fall will give universal salts

length, clearing the ground, so as to
obviate all necessity for holding il

The little fall coats are medium
length in half-ftted effects that make
all wearers look cute" High waist
line and big snowy revers, cuffs and
patch-pockets are still in vogue with
marked loyalty to the sailor collar
Sometimes a belt effect or girdle on
empire lines is seen on the new
jackets.

innovation.

fashionable, the latest cuts being in

waist part appears to be extremely

easy to make. The most useful of
the tunic costumes are black chiffon,
