4 COMPOSITE sACHRT CASE.

A very useful sachet, which may BE-
laid over the top of trunk tray or
over the underclothing in the drawer
OF a dressing table, is made In two
layers Joined together. The top layer
is divided into sections OF the 10
quired length, and these open like TIA
cover of a needle book. In the Longest
section scarfs may be smoothly tolda6,
In the smaller ones gloves, wells anE
handkerchiefs.
These articles are much more easily
packed and kept IN shape a this Way
than IL placed with other things and
the boxes which are so generally used
take up good deal of room In packing
a very pretty box may be made OF nlnk
brocade lined with white quilted aAaSE,

Great care should be taken In So

offensive than a very strong perfume.
There are some powders that have a

Dexter Morgan stared at the note

Gus in this bowling wilderness. II
was written on fine paper, by a wo-
mans hand; and. II Morgan was any
judge of chirography, the woman was
young, refined and intelligent.
He was camping in one OF sparse
ly inhabited counties OF the upper
2eni%f5ula Of Michigan. He had not
seen human being for weeks, except
when he went TO Fuller's fifteen miles
away, to buy supplies. His neighbors
were bears, wolves and deer. He had
come back to camp at nightfall one
day to find this hooking little message
pinned to his sleeping bag
While be built his fire and cooked
supper that night, he speculatea over
the note, taking it occasionally from
the pocket Of his flannel shirt to study
II again. When the meal had been dis
posed OF he sat down to pore over il
anew
1t was not meant as a warming; that
was sure. Whoever wrote IL must have
known that there was no danger OF
the wolves eating him. The wolves
had more to fear than he. Morgan
was a government expert, sent out
from Washington to test the value of
new lure prepared by a famous
chemist. He built ingenious traps
batting them with fresh meat smeared
with the tempting liquid. Day after
day he tramped over his long route
killing and skinning his captives and
making copious notes. These notes
published under the imprint of the
bureau OF biological survey, presently
would add to his reputation as a clever
young naturalist.
He sat up until 8 o'clock, which was
half an hour beyond his usual bedtime
trying TO account for the presence OF a
woman in this dreary waste. He was
up before the sun next morning. BY
the time 1t peeped lazily over the low
ridge OF hills to the east, he had kind
led his fire and eaten breakfast When
the first white frost Of early autumn
began turning to drops Of crystal be-
meath the ardent day, he was search
ing like questing hound for the trail
OF his visitor Of the day before.
Morgan was a good woodsman, de-
spite his college education and a boy
hood spent only in cities. He picked
up the trail easily and followed II I'M
erringly. An Indian could not have
done better. The broken grass stalks
and misplaced twigs led him due west
Within half a mile he came to a
patch Of open sand. The track led
across it, and he dropped to his knees
with cry OF satisfaction. There, be-
fore him, was the imprint of little
moccasins. A minutes study con-
WINGED him of several things: that his
visitor was possessed of a high-arched
instep. that she was a woman, since
man never possessed a foot so small
and so beautifully formed. and that
she was not a squaw, since the tracks
did not toe in
Furthermore, the tracks were those
of a city dweller. accustomed to pave
ments, since the toes did not spread
out and take hold as did the toes OF
folk accustomed to the yielding sur
face OF the wilderness. With these
points fully settled in his mind

SILK LINING FOR A
FIR LINED COAT

GOA LANED LVAI
One of the most useful articles in
a girls wardrobe Is a hong fur lined
coat. Nothing is more comfortable
for long motor ride In cool weather
and there are many times when the
extra warmth Is needed even over
the coat OF a cloth suit. The one
disadvantage about these comfortable
cloaks is that the hairs are apt to
come out OF the fur and stick to ones
cloth gown, especially when the coat
is no longer new. The fur used for
the lining is generally a compare
lively cheap fur, so that Ii sometimes
does not wear as we'll as the cloth Of
the outside. 1t is also apt TO be a light
gray or white fur, so the hair shows
quite plainly.
This difficulty can be entirely OBJ
Waited by lining the coat with silk in
side of the fur as soon as the latter
begins to show wear. The warmth
is all there and if soft silk is used
the soft, comfortable feel of the fur
is not lost. This silk lining will make
coat look fresh and new that has
begun TO seem shabby only because the
fur looks worn. If Gas is the case
with most Of these coats) the cloth
on the outside is a good one IL will
oulast more than one silk lining.
Some clever girls can make such a
lining themselves, but If one hasn't
time or does not know how il is an
easy piece of work for a seamstress or
maid who is skilful about sewing
She can cut her pieces of silk the
same shape as the pieces of the cloth,
sew them together in seams and hem
to be the inside Of the cloth Just at
the edge Of the fur.
