Just as you like, but ribbons folded In
a box do not overlap glove territory,
and belts do not have to put up a
sign no handkerchiefs allowed on

set boxes, perhaps) are good for
gloves and belts, and another box for
purses and other trifles and all the
dear feminine "nothings.' that are
everything" really, for we couldn't
live without them!
A girls club | know OF had prom
ised to make a large number OF paper
roses of different colors TO decorate

a big undertaking, but one of the girls

the task into a pleasure for all con-
cerned. She invited the club mem
bers to her house for progressive

cloth, one a pink cloth, one a yellow
cover and one was white. Thus the
tables were designated where flowers
of like hue were to be made. The
white rose table was the head table.

had elapsed, the two at the red table
who had made the most red roses pro-
crossed to the pink table, and so on.

rose were used. with small pink rose

rose pin-and It won't fade unless she
loses It!
Now that hats are such an expensive
part of ones wardrobe, one girl has
told me her way, and really she Is
too clever for words. She makes one
hat do for several occasions. She has

to shadow him in the hope of secur-
ing additional evidence that would re-
suit In recovering some of the gold
and rounding up the gang. The sec
| ond course was agreed upon. So a
close espionage was kept upon the
skilful and gentlemanly Mr.. Agar with
the intention Of ultimately taking him
into custody.
Just as the police were ready to
pounce down upon the fellow, he up
set all of their plans. He committed
a fresh crime. And it was of a char
acter that could not be ignored He
was caught uttering forged checks, and
in wholesale quantities. An army of
shop-keepers went after him and he
was arrested, tried. convicted and SEN
fenced to transportation for life. The
detectives who had been after him for
the great bullion robbery tried to get
him to make a confession of that af-
fair, but he only smiled and remarked
that he had nothing to say for publica-
ton. They even tried, in a mild sort
of way, the kind of persuasion that
we call the third degree, but it was of
no use. Agar shut up like clam.

take his punishment for the forged
checks. He was sent away, and with
him the only clue relating to the theft
of the gold dust.
The affair was about to be cast into
the limbo of unsolved mysteries when
a note was received at the Office of
Captain Frazer from woman who
gave the name of Mrs. Kay. She said
that II the police would call at her
home she would give them some in
formation that would interest them ex-
ceedingly.
And she did

and a woman's revenge at that. The
officer who called on Mrs. Kay expect

instead of that she poured into his
amazed ears the complete story of
the great bullion robbery.
why do you tell this?" asked the
officer.
Because John Pierce has tried to

Your just dues?"

VERY WELL" was the response, 81
can start by saying that the plan for
the robbery was conceived by John
Pierce"
1t seems that Agar and Mrs. Kay
lived together as husband and wife
and that he had given her all of the
details of the robbery. Pierce, at the
time, was clerk in bucket shop.
He had been concerned in several
shady transactions and the possibili-
ties of the gold train appealed to him
very strongly. But it was too big a
Job for him to undertake alone. So he
sought the professional advice and as
sistance of Agar. That gentleman
seized the suggestion with ayidity.
The first step necessary was TO win
over one OF the employees of the com
pany. So they approached one of the
guards named Burgess, who was us
ually In charge of the trains carrying
the gold. He fell In with the scheme
and explained the methods of trans
portation.
As the gold was carried in the
guards van it was plain that the rob
berry would be easy when Burgess was
on guard. The question was now u

Hats trimmed while you wait. In the

with a black velvet crown and bow on
one side. This whole crown can be
doubled to fasten over the buckram
crown which can be substituted when
one wears gray furs for an afternoon
of calling; also violet silk crown
with knots OF artificial violets and
leaves peeping from the folds, which
can be worn to a reception with Law

You can make fascinating curtains
and bedspreads for your rooms, girls,
by using the white crepe material
often used for shirt waists, which re-
quires no ironing. A pretty white
fringe that Is washable can be stitched
along the edges of both curtains and
spreads.
Here's beautiful way to save time
In placing ribbons In under garments
before and after laundering. Have
some fiat white tape Qinen) the width
of ones ribbon and of equal length.
Tie one end of the ribbon to piece
of tape and pull out the ribbon. draw
Ing the tape into its place. Unite the
ribbon and send the garment to the
laundry with the tape ''where the rib
bon ought to be-" After the garment
Is washed and ironed, reverse the proc
ess--tie the ribbon to the tapes end
the ribbon back into place. Just as
easy as A. b. C. That stands for Any

At a girls luncheon where many
tapers were used this ingenious SUBJ
stitute for candlesticks was used: Po-
tatoes of uniform size were selected.
and hole cut in the center of each
to admit the candle. Artificial paper
daffodils were then pinned over the en-
tire surface of the rest of the potato,
except on the under side. making
perfect flower ball of each one. The
effect could be varied by using any
preferred flower, for OF course every
girl has her favorite posy!
Here's an idea for the good. studious
girl: Use a card system for chance
opportunities for studying. On square
cards which will fit into your card
case, write lists which you wish to
memoriEe, poems which must be
learned for college exams. verbs which
must be declined. etc. You can help
your mother iron, and one of the cards
can be laid by the ironing stand, where
your eyes can rest upon Ii while work
ing. AS the trolley car speeds TO and
fro on your way to a friends house or
to tho city. you can conquer the con-
tents Of one or more of your cards.
and many an odd minute can be saved,
and while other girls have to study
you will be that much ahead.
