Trousers for spring will be even
more fitting than they were in the
fall, and the tendency Is toward even
further tlghtness. The peg top and
the loose truosers OF all sorts have
gone completely out OF fashion. Not

While the black cutaway has been
generally adopted as a correct coat
for day dress and an impression has
gone out that the double-breasted

close observers have noticed that on

CHAPTER VI.

TT was the first time Sheldon had
been at close quarters with an
American girl. and he would have
wondered If all American girls
were like Joan Lakeland had he not
had wit enough to realize that she was
not at all typical. Her quick mind
and changing moods bewildered him,
while her outlook on life was so dif-
ferent from what he conceived a wo-
mans outlook should be that he was
more often than not at SKIES and sew
ems with her. He could never ant1cl-
nate what she would say or do next
Her temper was quick and stormy.
and she relied too much on herself and
too little on him, which did not ap-
proximate at all to his ideal Of wO-
mans conduct when a man was
around. Her assumption of equality
with him was disconcerting. and at
times he half consciously resented the
impudence and bizarreness of her In

sea in a bowling nor wester, tresh
