Gloria could not understand why
she was not OF most Importance, and
was not a little piqued at the long
wait in the cold while her father was
with Judge Gilbert Her only conso-
iaion for being late to the theater
was that every one would be there to
see her arrive. She knew that when
she entered the box every one would
turn to look at her. A harmless little
thought certainly for so pretty girl
as she. She tried to beguile the time
by questioning Tom, but the driver
had suddenly lost his tongue, due to
<err's order issued privately, and
talked only indifferently on Indifferent
topics. He was grossly ignorant con-
corning matters which to Miss Kerr
seemed o. vital Importance
AZ last came her father with the an
nouncement that she was TO come In

girl was torn with conflicting emo

Her treatment was very simple.

water kept about twelve inches away
from it. The basin was placed on a
little oil burner and my head WAS COW

that all the steam should get to, my

It took only few moments OF this
treatment to make the perspiration
pour down my brow and cheeks My
head was then uncovered and my face
wiped gently with very soft cloth.
Since then 7 have tried the same
treatment at nome with a kettle on

was most interesting. 1 had always

BUTTONS TO FORM DESIGNS
For Late Summer Wear These
Promise to Be the Predominatng
Note in Waists.

Buttons, and many Of them, seem
to be the predominating note in waists
designed for late summer wear. De
signs run more to dainty simplicity
than TO elegant elaborateness, and
filmy, transparent materials are those
most often chosen

ing regers of any required length. The
sleeve of this blouse Is a set-in kimono
one OF three-quarter length; a soft
frili of pleated net goes about the
neck and finishes at the end of the
revers. The beauty OF this blouse lies
chiefly in it's rever forming qualities,
the length Of which may be regulated
according to the wearers taste.
Another dainty waist, designed for
morning wear, is one made of filmy
cotton wolfe. A set-in vest of tucked
net, with two rows of white buttons
on each side where the vest and the
waist join, Is in line with the recent

of embroidered wolfe and fiat bow
with one long end completes the sim
plicity ensemble so correct for early
