not belong there but had come to be
seen, while above the woods swung
the big moon with Fran on the foot
bridge to shine for.
Fran's hat dangled idly in her hand
as she drew herself with backward
movement upon the railing. The moon
light was full upon her face; so was
the young mans gaze. One of her
feet found, after leisurely exploration
a down-slanting board upon the edge
of which she pressed her heel for sup
port. The other foot swayed to and
fro above the flooring, while a little
hand on either side of her gripped the
top rail

rebellious hair.
Abbott Ashton studied her with
grave deliberation-it is doubtful If he

Summer Silks,

One Of the coolest of summer gown
and blouse materials is washing silk
This season it will be popular in
white or cream ground with a colored
stripe.
They are much cooler, these silks,
than cotton, for they do not hold any
starch, which is always a warm addi-
ton to any garment in summer. Then
silk does not require as much ironing.
for it does not crush easily under a
coat. China is sending over a vast
quantity of silk weaves for spring and

into every kind of blouse that wo-
man wants. plain and ornate.
