IN PLAIDS OR CHECKS
MATERIALS POPULAR FOR YOUNG
GIRLS AUTUMN CLOTHES.
Designs Are as Pretty az Ever, ana
In the Fullest Voeue-The SCOTCH
Fabrics Are Also Strict
Iy Correct.

When in doubt as to m1ssy's au-
tumn hat. coat or dress get something
with a touch of plaid or check, for
materials with these patterns are
again eminently in vogue for young
people and they seem quite as pretty
as ever.
To quote the dressmakers for the
Junior world, one can never get away
from the suitability of such mate
rials to youth-the Scotch fabrics
with their varied melange Of color
and checks, big and little, seem so
Juvenile and correct for young peo-
ple's wear. So here they are again
with us, holding a breath OF new color
sometimes, showing the familiar de-
vices of the Scotch clans, in dress
silks and wools. in coats, hair rib
bons and buttons. The pretty de-
signs are a great relief from the
phin materials that have reigned so
long-but, dear me, except for light
difference of detail some of the long
coats showing the plaid or check
reverse and decking are all but twin
sisters to last years wraps. rms
takes nothing away from their charm,
the deft changes here and there Civ
Ing the last-agony touch In way
efficiently piquant to suit the most
ardent devotee of new fashions.
At this season the long coat need
ed for school use, and which will, OF
course, come in for many other ac-
casions, is of more Importance to the
college maid or high school girl than
anything else-anything but her hat,
FOR without suitable headpiece the
most charming coat could not be
worn, coats and hats of kind need
Ing to run together. The shops are
full OF correct fabrics for 1t, the soft
reversible coatings, plain on one side
and plaid on the other, used last year
and still with us, offering themselves
as the most facile textures in the
world for home sewing for all the
trimmings of the coat are made OF
the reverse side of the material.

Is no end, but somehow checks seem
A bit more suitable for these than
The larger plaids, and many of the
Russian blouse styles lend themselves
most effectively to a combination Of
checked and plain material
The design shown in the illustra-
ton allows this use of the two mate
rtals in very smart way, the coat
being of a plain blue wool and the
little skirt and blouse trimming Of
checked blue and white wool. Here

When Travelling.

Take a candle in your bag and a
box of safety matches. When they are
wanted you will be glad they were
put in. The space required for them
is small. A passenger on steame
that was wrecked had a small candle
which enabled her to collect some OF
her most valuable possessions when
the lights went out after the collision.

frosty glass. thanked him repeatedly
for bringing news of new material,
and then Freckles went out into the
night He rode for the Limberlost
with his eyes on the stars.
The one thing Freckles knew that
he could do was to sing. The Duncans
heard him coming mile up the cor
duroy and could not believe their
senses. Freckles unfastened the box
from his belt and gave Mrs. Duncan
and the children all the eatabes 1t
contained. except one big piece of cake
that he carried to the sweet loving
Duncan. He put the flowers back in
the box and set 1t up among his books.
He did not say anything, but they I'M
derstood 1t was not TO be touched.
Then Freckles started for the
swamp. AS he rode be sang. and as
he sang he worshiped. but the god he
tried to glorify was a dim and far
away mystery. The angel was warm
hesh and blood.
With the near approach of dawn
Freckles tuned his last note. Wearied
almost to falling. he turned from the
trail into the path leading TO the cabin
for few hours rest.
AS Freckles left the trail from the
swale near the south entrance four
large. muscular men rose up and
swiftly and carefully entered the
swamp by the wagon road. Two of
them carried big saw. the third coils
OF rope and wire. and all were heavily
armed. They left one mar on guard
at the entrance. The other three made
their way through the darkness and
soon were at Freckles' room. He had
left the swamp on his wheel from the |
west trail. They counted on his re-
turning on the wheel and circling the |
east line before he came there.
A little below the west entrance to
Freckles room Black Jack stepped
into the swale and binding a wire
tight about a scrub oak, carried it be-
low the waving grasses, stretched it
taut across the trail and fastened it to
a tree in the swamp. Then he obliter.

was so completely covered that only
minute examination would reveal it.
They entered Freckles' room with
coarse oaths and jests. In a few mo.
ments his specimen case with its pre-.
cious contents was rolled back into
the swamp and the saw was eating
into one of the finest trees Of the Lin
berlOSt.
AS soon as Freckles was well down
the east line the watch was posted
below the room on the west to report
his coming. 1t was but a few mo-
ments before the signal came. Then
the saw stopped. and the rope was
brought out and uncoiled near sap
ling. Wessner and Black Jack crowd
ed TO the very edge of the swamp "a
little above the wire and crouched
waiting.
They heard Freckles before they
saw him. He came clipping down the
line at good pace. and as he rode he
was singing softly: 7
