The dressmakers have come to the

some plan by which the fullness at the

quite evident that all women will not

Little Edwards parents strove con-

siders One night, while they attended
a concert, Edward was left in charge
of a skeptical young uncle, who at the
proper hour told the youngster that
he must go to bed. Edward rebelled,
haughtily.

outside, and quite deliberately set to
work to force the light door. AS has
been intimated, either by direct order
of Mccarthy or because of same vague
I ness of the orders, the young man had
been confined, not in the Jail proper,
but in one of the living apartments of
the wing.
1 Few realize how important a role
sound plays in what might be called
I the defensives of our everyday life.
! Sight is important, to be sure, but it
is more often corroborative than not;
it is more often used to identify the
source of the alarm that has been COM
municated through other channels.

the vibrations attendant on the most
cautious attempts against the stone
structure, the most muffied football re-
ports to the jailer that mischief Is
afoot.
Now the watchdog was asleep Percy
Darrow reflected that, were it not for
the terror of these unexplainable
hours, the prisoners within or their
friends without could assail their con-
fines boldly and formidably, even with
dynamite. and no one would be the wi
ser if only none happened to be within

He himself quite coolly used the iron
side piece of his bed as a battering-
ram to break the locks of the door.
Then he walked down the long corri-
dor and out through the police station,
bowing politely to the bewildered Of
ficers. The latter did not attempt to
o
stop aim.
The people in the streets were, for
the most part, either standing stock
still, or moving slowly forward in a
cropping sort of fashion. Darrow, for
the second time, noticed how anal
ogous to the deprivation of sight was
the total deprivation of hearing and
feeling vibration.

Even fur coats, once made on plain
lines, are caught and draped and wrap
ped until one would think the designer
had been using supple satin instead of

Mole fur lends itself particularly
well to fancy touches. One charming
model has a cutaway style coat, caught
back below the knees and belted into
a fitted peplum. Pieces of mole skin
laid across the grain have been set
into the peplum and cleyerly made to
form a design of roses. This extends
all around the coat in sort of running
spray of flowers, and is most charm
ing in appearance.
This, Of course, was an expensive
model, made by a Partisan costumer.

fair, as the winter advances, to take
