him.
A STRANGE REQUEST
AS they stood facing each other, the
unknown man said to one of his SEQ.

Something tells me it will miss fire."
Magny's seconds objected. but the
unknown insisted, and at last both
pistols were fired. and, strangely
enough. the young mans pistol
merely clicked.

This incident made a strong i'm

the signal was given to the unknown
to shoot whenever he was ready. He
took aim very slowly. and for a whole
second the barrel of his pistol pointed
straight at Magny's heart. Then he
lowered 1t and said in solemn voice:

He was well known actor-man-

and was endeavoring to recoup his
losses by betting on horses. 1.-The
glorious uncertainty of the turf. how
ever, proved too much for him, and
he resolved to give it up.

whom he had not seen for some time.

Yes, leave U.S." said Estelle. who
began to grow afraid.

not to see her husband Madame is
tired. In that case 1 shall have the
pleasure OF calling on you tonight.
But permit me to take little ad-
vance payment on the pleasure I am
looking forward to-" And, quick as
lightning, he stopped down and kissed
her.
Ernest Soleau was at him like
tiger. He knocked him down and
struck him repeatedly with his
clenched fist when he got up again
Magny smiled co1dly and demanded
satisfaction.
Yes, will give you satisfaction. as
you deserve it, you scoundrel."
The duel took place next morning.
Magny played with Soleau like cat
with a mouse. wounding him several
times before he finally ran his sword
through his heart.
1t was only when the husbands
body was brought home that Estelle
was told that the man who had in
suited her was a professional MUIR
derer. The blow nearly killed her.
For many weeks she lowered on the
brink OF death and that she finally
recovered was due to the skillful at
tendance of her husbands best friend,
Doctor Leres.
HER VOW
"You have been cruel in your
mercy" she said when she came back
to her senses. 1T would have been
better IL you had let me die, but as 1
am going to live 1T shall be the only
object in my life to rid the world of
the monster who murdered my hus-
band"
As soon as she was strong enough
she went to Paris and was not heard
of for many months.
One evening a young unknown man,
a mere boy, as If by accident, knocked
a glass from Magnys hand in the
Cafe Palais. Magny demanded an
apology. which was coldly refused.
whereupon he threw the contents of
glass into the young mans face.
The unknown calmly wiped his face
and demanded satisfaction.
With the greatest of pleasure"
said Magny. 1T won't take me long
to kill a puppy like YOU"
Perhaps not said the unknown.
One of the men. who volunteered
to act as his second. told the boy
that Magny was sure to kill him, but
the unknown smiled.

BY a study of the principles OF
dress illustrated in this picture
you may aid yourself in looking
shorter or taller at will. You may
accent your slenderness or in
crease your stately proportions
according as taste, fashion and
becomingness dictate.
For the foundation use either
supple white charmeuse or chiffon
velvet. If these are beyond your
means you will find the soft serge
or Henrietta cloth most charming
and charmingly inexpensive.
Where ] have used rare venise
lace and ermine bands and ermine
tails, the woman who is consider
ing price will find dotted or en-
broidered net very effective. and
she may use anything ranging
from white rabbit to satin bands
for garniture. 1t is always pos
sible to copy the most expensive
gown by merely using little
thought as to what cheaper ma
terials may be substituted for
expensive laces and furs.
THE GOWN

velvet forms the upper blouse.
which falls in kimono line over
the shoulder and has an inset
sleeve that Grapes at great length
over the wrist. Both long Shout
der seam and long draped sleeve
give length of line and add to the
apparent height of the wearer.
For further height there are
the straight lines of trimming
over the shoulder. the long
draped sash of black velvet that
falls from the girdle at the back
and extends almost to the end OF
the little curved train.
Catching up the skirt in draped
line at the front, and lengthening
it in a train at the back give
slenderness and stately height at
once.

PEARS.
Can you tell me any reason why
the latter half of my statement is
not just as true as the former?
AS matter of fact, although you
can not change your eyes from
blue to brown at will, or your
height from five two to five eight
just because you like the juno
esque type. YOU. CAN so DRESS
THAT ALL YOUR GOOD POINTS
WILL BE BROUGHT. OUT AND
ALL YOUR BAD POINTS HID
DEN,
To dress well there are some
very simple rules that must be
followed. l give them to you
gladly:
Study your own face and figure.
Remember that you are an indi-
vidual and not a type. Second.
Study the effects of color on your
complexion, features and figure.
Third. Acquaint yourself with the
fashions and select what is good
and worth copying. Fourth. Gull
tivate a feeling for the beauty
line Fifth. Learn to restrain
yourself. Educate yourself to find
beauty in simplicity. Sixth. Al
ways buy things because they are
of good value and you really want
them. Never buy clothes merely
because they are marked down a
bit, or because a clever dress
maker insists.
THE FINAL RULE
And the final great rule which
is the summing up of all have
said and am going to say is this:
CULTIVATE YOUR OWN INDI-
vIDUALITY AND EXPRESS 1T
IN YOUR CLOTHES.
Today l am showing you one
of my most elaborate gowns. I
choose 1t for this reason. / am

WHAT SHE NEEDS

Every woman's face needs some
kindly shadow to soften certain
features and, by contrast, to give
strong light and relief to others.
Find whether the hat upturned
in back, front or one side throws
the kindest shadows over your
face. Discover whether great felt
hats or small narrow ones give
you the best background for face
and features. And when you find
what you can wear, wear it al
ways. Simply modify your hats
and gowns to suit fashions rules.
Never blindly buy the latest
things" regardless of whether
you look like caricature instead
of flesh and blood woman.
And in saying farewell I will
add q parting warning. CLOTHES
MUST BE A BACKGROUND FOR
THE WOMAN. THE WOMAN
MUST NEVER BE A FRAME
