said half-aioud. "And now that the
inside play is over, guess It's time
for old Ham to be doing something"
Mrs. Jefferson gripped the arms OF
her wheel-chair and resumed her tale,
as If she had not been interrupted. II
was of no interest as story, yet pos
sessed a sentimental value from the
fact that all the characters save the
raconteur were dead, and possibly all
but her forgotten Fran loved to hear
the old lady evoke the shades OF long
ago, shades who would never again
assume even the palest manifestation
to mortals, when this old lady mao
gone to join them.
Usually Fran brought her back,
with gentle hand, but today she oil
vined subterfuge; the tale was meant
to hide Mrs. Jefferson's real feelings
Fran ventured through the trumpet:
81 wish there was a man-secretafJ
on this place, instead Of woman.
And let me tell you one thing, dear
old soldier-there's going to be-a fight
put up on these grounds. / guess you
ought to stay out of it. But either
or the secretary has got to git"
Fran was not unmindful of gram
mar, even OF rhetoric, on occasion.
She knew there was no such word as
git" but she was seeking to symbol
ize her idea in sound. AS she closed
her teeth, each little pearl meeting
pearly rival. her "git" had something
of the force of physical ejectment.
Behind large spectacle lenses,
sparks flashed from Mrs. Jefferson's
eyes. She shifted battle. But her
tightly compressed lips showed that
she lacked both Fran's teeth and
Fran's intrepidity. One steps eau
tiously at seventy-odd.
Fran comprehended. The old lady
must not let it be suspected that she
was aware of Gregorys need Of cotton
in straining ears, such as had saved
Ulysses from siren voices. The pre-
tense of observing no danger kept the
fine old face uncommonly grim.
Little girls shouldn't fight" was
her discreet rejoinder. Then leaning
over the wheel, she advanced her
snow-white head to the head OF coal
black. Better not stir up dragons"
Fran threw back her head and
laughed defiantly. Bring on your
dragons, she cried boastfully. There's
not one of em I'm afraid Of" She
extended one leg and stretched forth
her arm. "IIl say to the Dragon.
Stand up'-and she'll stand; I'll say
'Eie down'-and down she'll lie. III
say 'Git'-and she'll" Fran waved
her dragon to humiliation.
Goodness" the old lady exclaimed,
getting nothing of this except the PAN
tornine; that, however. was eloquent.
She recalled the picture Of David in
her girlhood's Sunday-school book.
"Are you defying the Man of Gath"
She broke into delicious smile which
seemed to food the wrinkles Of her
face with the sunshine OF many dear
old easy-going years.
Fran smote her forehead. IT have
few pebbles here" she called
through the trumpet.
Mrs. Jefferson grasped the others
thin arm, and said, with zestful ener-
gy, Let her have 'em, David, let her
have 'em!'

DESCRIPTION.

A simple gown presenting a suitably
dressy appearance for afternoon wear
can DO fashioned after this design with
great satisfaction to those OF moderate
means. Charmeuse although not q now
maintains . certain popularity
because of Its durable quality and for
this design II would serve admirably.
Dull blue Is q color almost universally
becoming TO dark and fair compilations
alike, and for this Eown. black and
blue embroidery ana plain black satin
with a pink rose At the belt. produce
q rich effect. Two bias folds OF the ma
tcr!al two and a half inches wide are
applied on tho skirt IN . slop!ng line
from front to back following tho line OF
the draped strdis which finishes UP the
back in double. inch wide shirrlngs.
Bias bands. the same width as those
trimming the skirt. are used on the
waist. One OF them 10 attached at the
low dropped armhole. while another
finishes the sleeve below the elbow. The
kimono waist 10 opened to the belt line
In front with blue Chinese embroidered
banding applied next the edge to de-
fine the opening which reveals a dainty
chemisette OF pale pink chiffon cloth
over white net. A certain cachet Ia
given this gown by Q large blue velvet
rose at the front posed to rest partly on
the black sirtile and partly against the
pale pink OF the chemisette.
Another very charming effect could be
obtained by using lavender charmeuse
enhanced with purple and gold en-
bro,dery on the waist ana a purple vel
vet girdle. A shaded rose coiored
petaIed flower, and fiesh-colored chem
isette would complete . most pleasing
ensemble.
