were the first In the modern period of
history to build an ironclad and that
during the siege Of Antwerp by the
Spaniards In 1885 the people Of that
city built an enormous fat bottomed
vessel. armored it with heavy iron
plates and thus constructed what they
regarded as an impregnab Bile battery.
This they named FINS Belli. Unfor-
tunately the vessel got aground before
coming into action and fell into the
hands Of the enemy. 1t was held by
Alexander Of Parma to the end Of the
siege as q curiosity. but was never enl-
ployed by either side In any action.

TIME telephone line from Pew
Creek to Atlanta earned moro
money in tolls that night than
II had earned in the previous six
months. Mildred called up her moth
er and talked with her more than
half an hour. This is the way she
began:
"Oh. mother, won't you please come
up to the mountains right away7-
Ill? No indeed: I'm feeling simply
great. but there's lots Of things 1
want to tell you. Oh. no; not
over the telephone. OF course
not, mother dear. l am perfectly
happy and contented up here, except
that you are not with me and the
way I feel tonight l never want to
go back to Atlanta again. But you
must come up right away"
And so on and so on. But not once
in their long talk did Mildred mention
Gordon Kelly's name to her mother.
She wanted to hold her supreme Sc
cret all to herself at least until her
mother arrived. Nor did she tell Of
the trouble 81 had with Forrest Cain,
deeming tn matter that would
better not be spread on a public tel
ephone wire. In the end, Mrs. Deery
promised to come up for a few DAYS,
as she. too, needed rest after her
labors in the household of Gains

In this case l think he was quicker

And so the talk Of these two hap
py young people went on and on.
The shadows heightened and the sun
sank behind the hills before they
realized it.
oh, 1 must be going, Gordon;
they'll think I'm lost or that some
thing has happened to me-" exclaimed
Mildred springing to her feet.
f"Something has happened to you,
honeybunch and something has hap
pened to me to make me the happiest
man in the world"
You are right, Gordon; something
has happened and l am very, very
happy"
They were walking toward the
bridge when Mildred stopped sud-
denly.
"Oh Gordon. want you to take me
home in your car. 1 want to ride
right next to you on the front seat.
But If We do that what will become
of the runabout?"
Don't worry about that, sweet
heart; come with me-" and he led
her along the edge Of the brook until
they came to the telephone in It's
box fastened to the tree.

ring was answered, take a car out Of

tell you. But did want to tell you
something else first"
Il want you to, Gordon"
With her head resting on his arm,
they drove to her mountain home,
he at the wheel. He had to switch
on the electric headlights before they
reached 1t. When they were within
few feet of their destination she
made him stop the car.
Quick she whispered, they can't
see US behind the headlights" He
folded her in his embrace.

softly.

Pretty little Arlette Dorgere,

covered her soft fluffy hair with
a scoop shaped hat on bonnet
lines. The circular brim Is form
ed Of white straw, and there Is a
wee soft crown OF pastel hued
satin. which droops down In a
long tassel at the left shoulder.
Caught at the line where straw
and satin meet, and following the
line OF the satin tassel, is Won
derful long spray OF white Para
disc. This IS what the French
call "chapeau du soir." and your
true Parisienne would never
dream Of wearing II except in a
theater box or at the restaurant,
or for some such fashionable
evening occasion.
