Dark Chiffon runles over Satin.


Chiffon tunics in medium dark col
orings are dropped over white satin
petticoats, the tunic reaching to the
knee in front and sloping down to-
ward the back
Three such gowns were recently OBJ
served at contingent tea. In one
the white satin skirt was half yelled
with a tunic of charming old blue chif-
fon. which formed the bodice also. An
other had a cherry red chiffon tunic
and bodice over the trailing white
satin skirt.
The third gown, more elaborate,
showed a taupe brown chiffon, coat in
cutaway style, edged around with
fringe and opening over a cream satin
petticoat on which were founces of
lace. The cutaway coat was belted
at the high waist line with girdle of
hammered gold set with topazes.

nnu Shoe Horn,

Everything is made so easy these
days that one may almost dress with
out thinking about it at all The lat
est luxury of the toilet is a shoe horn
with a handle nearly yard long, and
one may step into ones new shoes
without bending the back at all.
These new shoe horns look very much
like golf sticks, with their long wood
en- handles and copper ends. There
is a leather loop at the top of the
handle, by means of which the shoe
horn may be hung up.

1t is perfectly proper to announce an
engagement at a dinner party, and it
may be done by the father of the bride
or her nearest man relative or her
mother if there is no man in the
family. 1t is quite customary to have

of the happy occasion. All that is
necessary to say is the fact that it is

CHAPTER xIll.-Continued.

Hello you" she nodded to Dan
Il am awfully sorry not to have
shown up at five Just got your note
just got in at the hotel; been out OF
town all day "
Dan saw that none of the people IN
the room was familiar to him, and
that they were out of place in the
pretty brocaded nest One OF them
was a Jew. a small man with a glass
eve. whose fixed stare rested on Miss
Lane He had kept on his overcoat,
and his derby hat hung on the back
of his head
Give Mr. Cohen the hox. Higgins"
Miss Lane directed. and bending for
ward brought her small face close TO
the glass. and her hands trembled as
she handled the rouge stick.
Mr. Cohen in one hand held a string
of pearls that fell through his tat fin
gers, as if eager to escape from them
Higgins obediently placed small box
in his hand
Take il and get out of here, she
ordered Cohen Miss Lane has only

"Please go out. Mr.. Blair" she said
"Please go out. Mr. Cohen is here on
business and | really can't see any

Behind the Jew Higgins looked up
at Dan ard he understood he
didn't heed her warning; nothing
would have induced him to leave Let
ty Lane like this
I'm not going, though. Miss Lane"
he said frankly. I've got an appoint
ment with you and I'm going to stay"
AS he did so the other people in the
room took form for him: blind beg
gar with a stick in his hand and by
his side small child wrapped in a
shawl. With relief Dan saw that
Poniotowsky was absent from the
party
Cohen opened the box. took its con
tents out and held up the jewels.
This he said, indicating string OF
pearls, is all right, Miss Lane, and the
ear-drops. The rest is no good. I'll
take or leave them. as you like"
She was plainly annoyed and ex-
cited, and, as Higgins tried to lace
her. moved from her dressing-table
to the sofa in state of agitation.
Take them or leave them, as you
like" she said but give me the
money and go"
The Jew took from his wallet roll
of bank notes and counted them.

back

worn by people of good sense in the
winter time for outdoor use. Some
persons prefer low ones with spats,
but they are not conducive to perfect

for the lady who follows him. All

1t is not necessary TO take leave OF
your hostess, but If she happens tc
be free when you are ready to depart
it is pleasant to tell her how much
you have enjoyed the affair and say
goodby A visiting card enclosed with
an invitation means that the hostess
could not make a call in person. Cards
should be left for all those in whose
honor the reception is given. A widow
may with perfect propriety wear her
mourning, for some widows never take
off their veil. and it is no reason they
should be debarred from social events
If one goes to the reception no ac
acknowledgement is required, but if not
able to go card is sent to arrive
upon the day of the affair.
