Did Laura note any of the portentous

to know how long HiIdegarde Won Mitter
had known her fathers secretary. There
was no envy in her heart as again she
acknowledged the beauty of the other
woman; moreover, she liked her and was

conventions deferred Cathewe when he
sought a thing. He raped lightly on the

Cathewe did no gently closing the door
behind him. Bretmann was in his shirt

down his cigarette. faint smile broke
the thin line of his mouth. He waited
for his guest, or, rather, this intruder, to

FROM
THE SMART SHOPS
By DOROTHY AVERY HOWARD

A firm in Thirteenth street, be-
tween and G, which deals only in
floor coverings. has done big busi-
ness this month when many other
shops have been dull This has been
due to the unusual values which have
been offered in high-grade carpets
and rugs. This week the special in
ducement to customers is variety
of patterns and colors in a seamless
French Wilton rug, 9 by Il in size,
reduced from $50 to S45.
There arc some very handsome de-
signs among these. and the rugs are
of the best quality manufactured.
Some of the prettist ideas in lingerie
blouses are those 1 gathered from a
visit to a small ready-to-wear shop
on the south side of street. not far
from the corner of Thirteenth. A
very smart model in a waist which
will do duty for any occasion is of
marquisette, in a new striped weave.
which has the effect of fine tucks.
1t has three tucks to give fullness and
kimono sleeves. strip of Irish lace
in the center of the front has cro-
cheted buttons on either side. and the
high collar and the sleeves are finished
with an edge to match. This waist
costs only S.
Another style which is quite dressy
is of plan white marquisette with a
imono bodice attached with hem
stitching. a scalloped edge of Irish
lace is appliQued around the Dutch
neck, the top piped with a fold of
pink. Where the two materials join,
there appears conventional designs
in hand embroidery. pink embroid
cry on the white and white on the
pink. Lace scallops finish the elbow
sleeves, completing one Of the dain-
tiest waists seen this season, which is
priced at SO.
Novel styles in spring footwear are
shown now by a weII-known shop in
Pennsylvania avenue, near Tenth
street. These include pumps of brown
and navy blue corduroy velvet, which
will be very smart with taiIor-made
suits, especially for early spring
wear.
DreSsier shoes are the pumps OF
black satin and velvet pierced around
the tops with small eyelets for orna-
mentation. Suedes are also shown in
the new shapes, any Of which sell for
s. a pair.
A novelty just being shown by a
woman's shop in r street. between
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, is the
Priscilla hood for evening wear. 1t

may be filled with real ferns for 800.
Some handsome patterns of bordered
