'Darce, my home is on frep
The apartment house where
North lived was about six squares
from the club. In a wild fever of
suspense and excitement the two
men ran all the way. A groan
came from North's0 lips as they
turned a corner. They came in
sight of the building. 1t was
mass of flames.
'PaulP' shouted the frenzied
North, and made a dash for the
fire-fringed doorway.
Darce and a policeman dragged
him back and held him by main
force.

AS burst of flame singed and
drove them back, Darce set up a
great shout.

Three stories up, hanging
from the sill of window of the
North apartments, was man.
The flames seemed to scorch his
head and his clothing was on fire.

bore a huddled form wrapped up

loyal Frowsy,. and tainted away
with pain.
Frowsy recovered from his
burns and was sent to the farm to
join his partner, a pensioner of
North for life. The tramp book
was published and was a success.
It's author sent a copy to Frowsy.
"Say," said the latter the next
time North and little Paul visited
the farm, "that tramp hero in
your book does some big things,
Mr.. North"
Nothing to equal what you
did for little Paul." declared
North gratefully. "You risked
your life to save him. Do you

Jewels of value may be used in the set
ting, and the lace itself may be Of the
most precious quality, for not even in a
cabinet may a rare example of the lace
makers art be shown to better advantage
than in one Of these fans.
The French painted fans are also eI-
tremely fashionable, and here also the
person of extravagant taste who has also
a love for the beautiful may expend what
ever sum she cares to upon these acceSso-
ries Of the toilette, which often are at the
same time works of art of high order.
The designs of these French fans, whether
painted on heavy duh silk or vellum, are
much like those used by the great French
painter WHO first elevated the decoration
of the fan to position among the fine
arts. Gold and spansles are worked into
the design, or rather are used to frame
the various motifs of the design, and the
sticks of the fan, of gold or ivory, are
carved or embeIliShed with enamel or en-
erusted with jewels.
There are also black gauze fans trimmed
with gold spangIes or embroidery or with
rather heavy trimming of braid, and these
are most effective with certain costumes.

and all the minor details of dress,
blossoms forth with summer fashions,
materials and models intended for the
Southern holiday, now a most important
part of fashionable life
Fashions for the Riviera furnish models
for Palm Beach and all the American
Southern resorts, and with snow falling
and the Thermometer away below freezing
point, women are busy selecting the thin
nest Of fabrics and the filmiest Of laces, not
to speak of silk, tulle, lingerie and straw
hats.
In olden days the rudent housewife
had her spring and summer dressmaking
attended to in the winter, so that there
should be no unseemIy haste and conse-
quent waste in making up the summer
wardrobe at the last moment, when the
services Of the best dressmakers, more
often the visiting seamstress, were at a
premium. This forehandedness was not
in consequence of a winter holiday trip,
however, and consequently there were not
the same facilities offered to secure de-
signs and fabrics such as are nov within
reach Of every one.
The fashionable woman who to-day is Sc
lecting or has selected her wardrobe for
the South has been able to choose from q
great variety of gowns and materials, but
the woman who plans far in advance
knows by experience that sh also can now
secure and have made her spring and sum-
mer gowns to far better advantage than
when it was not obligatorily fashionable
to seek a warmer cline during the cold
weather.
. Craze for Taffeta Silk.
And what are the advance styles? viii
there be any distinct innovations? As
yet there is nothing especially distinctive.
There is a craze for taffeta silk and lace,
but these points have already been noted.
The newest evening gowns for the winter
resorts are of Pompadour design in silk,
and the Pompadour model of gown is nat
uraIly to be looked for. The waist line, in
consequence, is lower and the waist meas
ure smaller.
Pleated and gathered skirts and all the
different picturesque effects Of the Pompa-
dour gowns are marked. Also, the change
able tafetas are in great demand, with
the fascinating sheen that is marked
characteristic in the odd shaded greens and
grays and ashes of roses. For evening
gowns the figured designs are the newest,
but as yet the afternoon and street gowns
are smartest in the plain silks.

positively essential to comfort whereverl
