Separate Goats.

Separate coats in three-quarter
length have returned to favor with
women who motor to functions wear
ing sumptuous gowns. On these Is
massed handwork In black and gold
or silver. In black satin they are stun
ming. especially when but little of the
metal thread Is used Too much gilt
with black looks tawdry.
The beauty of evening coats is to be
enhanced and at the same time they
are to be made warmed by the addi-
tion of little vestee or shield, which,
though collarless, comes up close to
the throat and completely fills In the
v which has proved so dangerous to
many careless party goer. These
vests are made of net, gauze or coarse

Poison Caused By Fatigue

Another interesting point about this
poison is that 1t is not simply the car
bonic acid gas which is familiarly
known to be one of the main products
of tissue waste; and still another is
that 1t does not circulate in the blood.
that is, that 1t does not appear in the
blood current, but is found in the
juices about and through all the mus
cles after exercise or work.
During hours OF rest and sleep the
poison is being rapidly worked on by
the system, being eliminated by the
kidneys. and probably by the liver. too.
but especially by the lungs in the
good, long. deep breathing of sound
sleep. Loss of sleep makes one feel
muscle-weary. but sound sleep rests

 When the doctor was ushered into the library Bivens, who was awaiting him alone, sprang to his feet with look of blank amazement. and then smile began to play about his hard mouth.
 My servant announced that gen tleman wished to speak to me a mo- ment Will you be good enough to tell me what you are doing in this house tonight?'
 The doctor paused and hesitated, his face scarlet from the deliberate in suit.

 When Nan had passed he turned to speak to Harriet, but she shad gone. A soft hand was suddenly laid on his arm, and he turned to confront Nan, her eyes flashing with triumph. her cheeks flushed and her lips parted in tender smile.
 "Come. I'm going to honor you by sitting out the next two dances"
 When she had seated herself by his side under a bower of roses he was very still for a moment She looked up with a qTizzical expression and said:
 "A penny for your thoughts. Am so very wicked after all?"
 "I don't think have ever seen any Ching more dazzlingly beautiful than your banquet and ball. except the wo- man who conceived and executed if. I was just wondering whether your lmaginations was vivid enough to have dreamed half the splendors of such a life when you turned from the little cottage I built for you A look of pain clouded the fair face. and she lifted her jeweled hand Please. Jim, I'd like to forget some t'ings.'
 And you haven't forgotten ?''
 She looked straight into his eyes and answered in even tones:
 "No''
 Both were silent for long while. and then they began to talk in low tones of the life they had lived as boy and girl in the old south and forgot the flight of time.

 the appearance of a huge caterpillar.
 The strange figures began to move slowly across the polished floor to the

 in hideous outlines and phosphor-

 fuzzy, exaggerated lines of the ac-
 companying worms. The effect was thrilling.
 Suddenly the music stopped with crash. Each ghosuy couple, skeleton and worm. stood motionless. The silvery note of trumpet called from the sky. The blinking eyes of the death heads in the ceiling and on the
 walls faded slowly. The trumpet pealed second signaI-the darkness fled and the great room suddenly blazed with 10000 electric lights. The orchestra struck the first notes of a thrilling waltz, and, presto, in an in- stant the women appeared in all the splendor of the most gorgeous gowns, their bare arms and necks flashing with priceless jewels. and each man bowed before her in immaculate even Ing clothes.
