Severe Little Fftments of Pique Give

The extreme value of the white linen

proved, especially when fitted with the
stiff outstanding pointed collar.
With navy blue gowns, black and
white check coats and skirts, In fact,
with all and every material, these
rather severe little f1tments are indie
scr1bably attractive. They look 30
fresh and crisp, and are SO easily re-

Quite a number Of black and white

and skirts are specially ordered, and
one was planned so simply, and yet so
attractively, 1t certainly deserves de-
scTiption. The skirt was arranged with
some loose, shallow folds in the inn

mysteriously melt away into nothing

PARTY FAVoRs WORTH WHILE
Really Useful and Pleasing Trifieo
May Be Devised for Both Men
and Women.

A few Of the really useful favors
which may be provided for a small
party are well worth considering.
For the girls there are the daintiest
possible card cases of pasteboard COW
cred with pale-toned Japanese crepe
and decorated with a hand-painted
flower design, that cost very little
whether made at home or made to or
der Then there are the work bags in
Bulgarian colors that can be made of
the blue and red wide ribbons which
have recently gone out of fashion for
sashes and girdles, but which are the
prettiest materials imaginable for
fancy" things
Any girl will gladly welcome favor
in the shape of a narrow-stemmed, tall
Chinese vase in blue and white or blue,
red, green and black, for it makes an
ideal receptacle for hat pins when not
needed for the single fresh flower
which should be On every daintily-
equipped dressing table.
It is also good idea to give single
teacups and saucers in oriental ware.

The men will like the latest thing in
oriental neckwear, the brown and
white ties of Tanryoka crepe de chine
which can be home-made from the pat

make these ties. the party hostess may
provide watch guards in plain and sub

Billy turned and led the way up the

and followed her.
At the house they found the general
with his usual inability to conceal a
thing. explaining that they had no
money. but wished to have a two
seated team and driver to take them
to the nearest town.
The farmer did not hail the propo-
sition with unalloyed joy. He looked
thoughtfully from one to the other
while Bartlett explained earnestly
who he was, who the general was,
who they all were, in a vain attempt
to undo the generals commendable, if
mistaken frankness. Upon promis-
ing to let the driver keep his watch
as a guaranty of good faith, to be re-
turned when the money they were to
telegraph for arrived, Bartlett per-
suaded the man to give in and go to
the barn for the horses.

CHAPTER XIII.
Back to the Road.

Bartlett took the telegram the clerk
handed him in an citation it was hard
to conceal from Bachelor, who leaned
against the counter of the store and
telegraph office combined, and
watched him modify.

ishness, his taking that trip thought
Bartlett with the sympathy of the vic

He tore open the telegram quickly

been?" signed by his brokers' name.
After the third reading, Bartlett
raised his eyes ana glanced duly at
the Watermelon, leaning against the
counter, among the gay rolls of cali
co and boxes of rubber overshoes and
stockings, watching him with thought
full, wary eyes, and Bartlett wondered
if he were going mad.
1t was late in the afternoon. The
general and the girls, having tele-
graphed for money, had gone to the
hotel to wait for their answers, while
Bartlett and the Watermelon had re-
NAMED in the store, Bartlett eager
to receive the answer to the joyful

er on the success of his plan, and the
Watermelon because he scorned to
run away like a whipped cur, prefer
ring Bartlett to know who he was.
"To ask me for Billy" Bartlett had
at first decided, but changed his mind
as the youths gloom became appar-
emily impenetrable.
Bartlett's jaw was set sQuarely
sternly, his eyes cleaned angrily and
a small pulse beat in his cheek. He
handed the Watermelon the telegram
and watched him as he read it.
"Who are your" he demanded
hoarsely, when the Watermelon had
finished reading the message and re-
turned it.
"Jeroboam Martin" said the Water
melon slowly, a grim amusement in
his half-shut eyes.
"Jero-what?'
"Jeroboam Martin"
But Bachelor" stammered Bart
lett, confused.
Bachelor is in New York." re-
turned the Watermelon. Il just teie-
graphed him, c. o. D., where he could
find his blooming car. Don't sup

look for it at the hotel"

Naturally these elaborate under

the shops, but if one is at all handy at
sewing they are really quite simple to
make and can be turned out at little
expense. Anyway, it seems as If every
woman should treat herself to one, or
possibly two, of these lovely slips just
to keep specially for her finest frocks,
for in these days Of delicate lacy out

DICTATES OF FASHION

All sorts of plaids and checks are in
great favor, especially for vests and
coates.
Peacock feathers are now being
gilded before they are poised on hats
of gold or blue hemp.
Collars of changeable taffeta or
broad stripes provide bit of color on
the navy and black utility coats.
Pompons made of all-coIored fronds
of ostrich feathers are enjoying
popularity that will be soon worn out.
A woman who lives in Paris writes
that among the promenaders in the
Bots are many who wear high laced
boots of soft kid or suede, which fit
snugly and have spool heels. Walking
sticks are also much In evidence
there.
Geranium pink silk is a favorite
trimming for white crepe de chine
blouses. At the girdle of a very
dressy blouse bunch of geraniums is
placed, and the girdle and buttons re-
peat the color note in a simple and eff
fective way.

The color contrast is a marked fea-

it cannot be obtained in any way the
flower at the waist or tucked into the
