The Turn of the Page.

John Valiant stirred and laughed, a
little self-consciously, for there had
been drops on his face.
Presently he took check-book from
his pocket and began to figure on the
stub, looking UP with wry smile. ITO

He withdrew his caressing hand and
looked again at the check-stub. Tween
ty-eight hundred! He laughed bleakly.
Why, he had spent more than that a
month ago on ball at Sherry's! This
morning he had been rich; tonight he
was poor!

There Are Many Ways by Which
Desirable Results May Be
Achieved

Madam of the passe gowns, here
Is a secret which as one woman to
another l will whisper into your ear,
weary with many sad tales of remod-
eled costumes.
This is season when Temodeling is
not only possible, but which positively
cries aloud for the remodeled gar
ment
Take advantage of this gracious but
SO f1eeting moment of fashion.
While there is yet time hasten to
convert your sartorial triumphs Of a
past decade into ravishing up-to-the-
moment creations.
Especially there is the lace f1ounced
dress Of your teens or perhaps the
teens of your mother or grandmother.
The f1ounces may be embroidered on
delicate ivory colored muslin. Per-
haps the gown is of black lace. Any
thing in flounces is possible.
Remount the fiounces on taffeta,
green, rose or blue. or on net or chit
fon; make short, quaint bodice of a
bit of f1ounce helped out with taffeta
or chiffon and have quaint sash

There you are with a wonderful
frock. If your founces are of fine
embroidered net or linen or of a good
quality of lace it is a costume which
would cost several hundred dollars in
the shops.
Waists which are a combination of
silk and chiffon or net are much In
evidence.
A pale yellow and green waist was
made in a waistcoat design. The silk
of striped green and yellow formed
the waistcOat and the lower part of
the sleeves. The upper part of the
sleeves and the chemisette were of
pale yellow chiffon.
The upper part of the sleeves was

The Crash.

Failed" calculated John Valiant

fashion, from the silken ribbon on the
spotIess Panama to his pearl-gray gait

figure, with wide-set hazel eyes and
strong brown hair waving back from
g candid forehead.
Never had his innocuous and but
ter-fiy existence known a surprise
more startling. He had swung into
the room with all the nonchalant hab-
its, the ingrained gertrude Of the man
born with achievement ready-made in
his hands. And single curt state

pair of shears-had shipped across

that morning a vice-president OF the
Valiant Corporation-one Of the great
est and most successful Of modern
day organizations; he sat now in the
fading afternoon trying to realize that
the huge fabric, without warning, had
toppled to its fall.
How solid and changeless it had
always seemed-that great business
fabric woven by the father he could
so dimly remember! His own invested
fortune had been derived from the
great corporation the elder Valiant
had founded and controlled until his
death. With almost unprecedented
earnings, it had stood as very Glib
lraltar of finance, a type and sign OF
brilliant organization Now, on the
heels of a trusts dissolution which
would be nine-days' wonder, the vast
structure had crumhled up like card
board. The rains had descended and
the foods had come, and it had fallen!
The man at the desk had wheeled
IN his revolving chair and was looking
at the trim athletic back blotting the
daylight, with a smile that was little
short of a covert sheer. He was one
of the local managers of the corpora
ton whose ruin was to be that day s

HANDY POLISHER FOR SHOES
Easily Made Article That Will Keep
Footwear Looking at the Best
Through Many Days Wear.

It is not always convenient to carry
a box Of polish in ones travelling bag,
but strip polisher," which can
neither upset nor smudge the contents
of ones bag, answers the purpose
quite as well for a short journey. In
fact, it's not a bad thing to have
tucked in the corner of ones bedroom
shoebox at home
To make the polisher, take strip
of velvet or plush about four inches
wide and Is inches long and attach
to the ends two little sticks, round or
square, about a half inch thick. The
sticks should be given a coat of glue
and then the polishing material rolled
on to each end sufficiently to cover the
wood. This is to keep the sticks
from slipping out Of the open ends.
Then sew the sticks in tightly as well,
so as to keep them from being pulled
out when the polisher is being used.
Have the shoes polished before leav-
ing home, and for several days one

COLLARS OF MANY DESIGNS
Woman Is Offered Rich Choice of
Pretty Neckwear From Which
She May Make Selection.

Three sorts of collars are much in
vogue this spring. One of them is the
familiar oriental collar which falls
away from the shoulders and may be
put on either as a straight piece or
with shirring. So loose is it that with
it must always be worn a close-fitted
inner collar; with some blouses or
gowns, a chemisette as well.
The medici collar, friend of the thin
throated woman, is second on the list
of fashionable collars and may be
made as tall and as wide-spreading as
the individual wearer decides to
have it. 1t is most picturesque when
it stops just in front of the ears, and
it is most becoming in transparent
materials relieved with the slenderest
line of fur.
Normandy collars are the rage
among neckwear models and very
smart they are on tailored frocks,
blouses and waistcoats. The Nor
mandy" is high standing affair hav-
ing two sharp points that stand out
from under the earlobes.

President of the French Republic
Pleased to Greet Humble Com

A pretty little incident that throws
a pleasing light upon the character Of
the president of France occurred re-
Gently at a banquet given by the
French bar to President Poincare.
At the close of the dinner M. Poin-
care called up the waiter who had
watched over his comfort Thank
you, jacques" he said quietly, and
shook him by the hand. At the same
time the president managed to slip a
bank note into the walters palm.
Il won't have it," cried Jacques,
and to the amusement and astonish-
nent of the guests there ensued a
friendly struggle between the waiter
and the president Of the republic.
NJ. Poincare ended the amicable dis
pute by pushing the note into the
mans pocket and gooo-naturedly slap
ping him on the back The waiter
could not resist this sincere geniality.

ENERGY FROM A SUGAR DIET
Experiments Have Shown That II Has
Wonderful Effect Upon the
Human Body.

that your liver and your muscles
manufacture sugar while you sleep
has. been supposed by the German
physician who uses sugar dissolved in
water as an excellent surgical dress
ing for all sorts of wounds
Drs. Jacques Pansot and Pierre
Matthew have declared that when ami
mails eat sugar exclusively for long
periods their weight at first decreases,
soon begins to mend and then fall
away again as the diet continues.
DR.. II. Heald of Tacoma Park, D. c,
disagrees with the laboratory findings.
He says sugar is comparable TO gaso-
line. AS the latter is the fuel OF the
internal combustion engine. so sugar
is the fuel of the human machine.
