way It had always gone.
In spite Of their high resolve, there
was a very measurable degree Of the

these meetings were stolen. They did
not ride out brazenly together in the
face of the world. On the contrary,
they met always unobserved, she rid

Nor did they ride on any save unfre-
quented roads, preferring to cross the
second range Of hills and travel among

scarcely have recognized even Day
light from his newspaper photographs.
He found Dede a good horsewoman-
good not merely In riding, but in en-
durance. There were days when they
covered sixty. seventy, and even
eighty miles; nor did Dede ever claim
any day too long, nor-another strong
recommendation to Daylight-did the
hardest day ever see the slightest
chafe of the chestnut sorrel's back.
"A sure enough hummer" was Day

tic verdict to himself.
His lifelong fear Of woman had orig
mated out of Misunderstanding and
had also prevented him from reaching
any understanding. Dede on horse
back. Dede gathering peoples on
summer hillside. Dede taking down
dictation in her swift shorthand
strokes-all this was comprehensive
to him. But he did not know the
Dede who SO quickly changed from
mood to mood, the Dede who refused
steadfastly to ride with him and then
suddenly consented, the Dede In
whose eyes the golden glow forever
waxed and waned and whispered
hints and messages that we're not for
his ears. In all such things he saw

WILL WELCOME NEW coRSETS
Very Graceful and Comfortable Arc
tho Lines That Have the In
dorsement of Paris.

Lower in bust than ever are the
stays, and the sloping shoulders of
the kimono sleeve and the graceful,
1raped flchu are but tendencies which
'ointed the way for this new figure.
Some of the newest Partisan cor
Jets are but mere girdles above the
waist-quite frequently not reaching
to the bust. The idea is to give one
'ong line shoulder to waist-a gently
sloping line with the bust as low as
possible.
But not below the waist Is the cor
set growing shorter! Far from IT.!
Longer and still longer grow
mademoiselle's stays-one wonders
how they can be worn with comfort.
But they can, for many Of them are
not heavily boned, but beautifully
shaped and so arranged that the fig
ure may be kept slim and youthful
below the waist line.
Not below the waist line alone,
however, is the figure to be youthful
but above 1t as well. The high,
lifted waist line, the low bust, the
slim, sloping shoulders-all this is
calculated to keep madame from
showing the ravages Of time-to keep
Der youthful as possible.
Very comfortable, indeed, are these
new corsets, for If they hold the body
trim and tight below the waist line
they keep 1t supple and free above
the waist, allowing ease and freedom
Of movement and perfect comfort.

GAVE TOUCH OF ORIGINALITY
How One Clever Girl Evolved In
genlous Scheme That lie Worthy
to Become a Fashion.

Seeing In the shops the tiny mar.
row bands Of folded black satin, with
their long silken or heavy beaded tas-
sells, used as a neck finish, a certain
ingenious girl added the touch of
originality to her new afternoon gown
by making, to go with 1t, tie OF
braided folds Of black satin.
The little tie was of the usual
three strand braiding, the satin strips
being very small and carefully blind
stitched along the entire length. It
was long enough to go around the
neck and hang almost to the waist,
the ends being worked into clever
little "rosette," with a jet beaded
center. Another tiny medallion COW
cred the black metal "snap fastener"
which held the tie together.
