Decided colors are now the smart
thing in silk umbrellas. All the fash,
ionable shades Of purple, blue, mauve
and the new reds are In demand for
spreads, which are mounted upon
frames that press tightly about a slen
der stick and give the convenience the
appearance OF a silken cane. The
fashionable fad is to procure unique
handle for the umbrella that is carried
with the tailored walking suits, and
while some of the effects are artistic,
others are actually bizarre. Among
the latter are the cat, parrot and
monkey heads In natural colors and
with jewels for eyes. In the former

1t was calculated that In latitude "a

Reviewing the results, Mr.. Willsie has
found the cost per horsepower at the
solar power plant to be about $3.50, or
more than four times the cost of a

Paderewski Disguised.

Paderewski, the famous pianist, who
recently made a tour Of South Africa,
complained bitterly Of the treatment
he received from South Africans.
When he was coming down the coast
from Durham, he told an interviewer
that he was playing very softly on
the ships piano when a man came up
to him and said: Here, you stop that
noise!". Il stopped playing at once"
said M. Paderewski, land then the
man went into the smoking room to
his friends, and they roared with
laughter when he told them he had
stopped me playing. He was not con-
tent with insulting me, but he must
also go up on deck where my secre-
tary was painting, and throw biscuit
crumbs all over the picture. What a
country! How could one be happy
in a country where there is no un-
derstanding of real art? They have
no idea of art, no sentiment for it,
and no desire for It,"

not call me at this time unless some
thing had happened. That was it.
Something terrible had happened!
Katharine was dead, or perhaps her
father. Perhaps both of them. Or
maybe Katharine had spoken again.
Perhaps she had given some infor-
nation that Louise felt would aid me
in the investigation that meant so
much for both Of US.
Isn't it strange how fast We can
think? It could not have taken me
more than thirty seconds to race from
my room to the telephone booth In the
hall below, yet In that brief period
all these thoughts and hundred
other queries and fears pursued each
other in mad tumult through my brain.
Breathlassly rushed into the booth
and grabbed the receiver. 1t was the
voice Of Louise that heard. Faint
though it was, recognized 1t at once.
