The sleeves are three-quarter length

they soil more quickly than the body

In selecting the voile. choose a
sheer variety made of very hard twist

with washing, and it is a good idea
to rinse it out and iron it before max
ing it up.

For the business woman and for
home wear these waists provide one

ing the charm of crisp neatness added
to their other attractions, without any
hard. starched surfaces to suggest dis
comfort and become mussed. A very
little starch or none at all is used
when they are laundered. The ex-
pense of the materials is next to moth
ing, the handwork places them in the
elegant class, and their durability
pays for it. They are an evolution in
waists, the outcome Of long expert
ence with the requirements of Ameri-
can women.

The Belfast brogue, it Is pointed out
by a correspondent. is the most pro-
nounced in the whole Of Ireland, for
the vowels are shorter than in Cork,
and the hard consonants harder than
in Glasgow. In Dublin, where they
think they speak the most perfect Eng

there Is little or no accent, only an
infection, which always betrays the
speakers origin. Dublin people are
counted affected and Anglicised in
Cork and Galway.
The Irish accent, as a matter of fact,
Is very elusive. Irishmen who have
been at school in England generally
lose it in their youth. Parnell lost his
at Cambridge, and it never came back
to him. On the other hand there are
men who have never been in Ireland
who might have come straight from

no inch, although he lowered above
her, shaking with wrath, and worked
his clenching fingers ominously.

ing at the newcomer with dropping

up to the belligerent foreman and
stood facing him, small but deter

Instantly the foreman's manner
changed. From the bully he became
the fawner. "Oh, hello, Mr.. Jones!

"Yes, you did," said Jackson slowly,
coldly; Miss Richards just told you.
I've been standing out there listening

TNE slim, uniformed figures of young
i girls are much helped out by ruff
f1es and skirt draperies. which are al
kind dispensation of Fashion (for the
too-slender maid) DEGREES taffeta a1d
rufles; both lend themselves perfectly
to figure building. Meantime, those
who have all the figure they want, and
perhaps a little more, are managing
to wear founces and drapery by
choosing clinging fabrics and using
shaped ruf11es instead of gathered
ones.
In either case a lot of clever man
agement is evident The object in
view is the achievement of graceful
lines, and its attainment for a slender
figure, is shown in the gown pictured
here-a design by Doeuillet-
1t will be seen that the figure is
built out about the hips, but that its
lines are not lost sight of. The skirt
Is narrowed just above the knees and
hangs straight from this point to the
1nstep. There is a wonderfully easy
and pretty effect OF drapery at the
waist line with narrow velvet girdle
below it. The discernment of the
artist in placing the velvet ribbon belt
below the normal waist line is one
of those evidences of cleverness by
which the French have won their pre-
eminence in designing.
The model is in fact simple enough
Except for two narrow ruff1es of the
silk embroidered in a delicate flower
pattern, and small bows of black vel
vet with pearl buckles, there are no
purely decorative features.
There is a f1ounce of taffeta, only
moderately full, extending from the
waist line to the thigh and terminal
ing in a scant ruffie of the embroidery
Below the embroidered flounce is
a full ruf1e of the plain taffeta. 1t
gives the effect of short overskirt.

III Z SEEM to have got away forever
waist and to have adopted the soft
and comfortable blouse, without any
sacrifice of neatness. There are plain
waists of trim wash silks and others
of batiste and voile. The good, at
tractive, all-round waists Of voile, liks
those shown in the picture, combine
so many satisfactory features for
daily wear that they are most popular
of all.
They are cheap as to price and ex-
cellent as to material. Thin and
strong, voile is the ideal fabric for
summer wear. It's staying qualities
make 1t worth while to embellish it
with a little hand embroidery and to
use the strong handmade laces for
finishing or decoration. Also there
are fine nets that stand wear equally
well, which are fine for decorative
purposes.
One of the best new models is pic
tured here. with round neck and long
sleeves. 1t is cut with drop shoulder,
and the seams are hemstitched. Small
tucks decorate the body and sleeves.
The neck is finished with a. narrow
turnback collar edged with a net
flounce. A little hand embroidery
touches up the collar and its net edg-
ing. There is q net t1ounce at the
wrists. The lower sleeve is set on to
the upper sleeve few inches above
the elbow.
The second waiststs a high-necked
model embelIished with tucks and
email pieces of Irish lace insertion
let into the voile. The collar and
sleeves are finished; with tucks and

| fours inches deep. At their termina-
tion a second scant ruffle of the elm
| broidery is sewed on. Below it the
silk falls free and is finished with q
three-inch hem
The bodice has a plain back and
kimono sleeves. 1t opens surplice
fashion in the front, with the front
pieces pulled in along the under arm
seams. This allows them to fall cas-
lily about the waist and over the belt.
The opening at the neck is finished
with the embroidery put on almost
plain. There is very little fullness in
the flounce of embroidery which fin
ishes the short sleeves.
There are several fabrics besides
taffeta in which this model may be
effectively made up. The light, bor-
dered, wool challies are perfect for it.
Figured cotton crepes and the light
weight poplins, as well as silk ma
terials, adapt themselves to draperies
and fiounces. In making choice it
is to be remembered that the body"
or stiffness of taffeta, and its high
luster, are not desirable for full f1ss
ures
This is only one of many designs in
which the skirt appears to be made up
of founces. They are set on to a
plain fitted underskirt OF the lightest
and limpest of materials, which ex,
tends below the waist only as far as
1t is needed, and is of the same color
as the gown.
There are many new and beautiful
tones among our old favorites in color.
Especially in blues and greens there
are charming, elusive shades that 1t
is next to impossible to describe.
Browns are golden, and yellow is
shown with all sorts Of "casts," golden
yellow and greenish yellow leading
this popular company. With every one
of them the touch of black velvet rib
bon, as shown in the picture, is the
best of all finishes.

CHAPTER Ix.-continued.


Eyes; he's stopping at the Grand
hotel"
when did he get here?"
Last evening"
Have you seen him."
"Yes"
It was plain enough that Higgins
most vivid suspicious were aroused.
He looked at her accusingly. His voice
was even louder than it had been. He
got here last evening, eh? Then that
settles it," He went to her desk and
leaned across it as if indicting her.
"He came here with that trust fellow,
didn't he?"
Now she, in turn, was really sur
prised. What trust fellow?"
Pembroke: one of the head men of
the Consolidated"
None but fool could have doubted
her amazement and her worry as she
rose and walked closer to him. "Is
Pembroke here in town."
"Oh," he sneered "You didn't know
that, eh?"
II certainly did not
He did not quite believe her, yet
took a certain pleasure in imparting
the distressing news to her, on the
chance that she was truthful and had
not before heard it. "Well, he's here.
Several of the men saw him and recog-
nized him. 1 suppose he's here with
Jones to close us out. Is that it,"
II don't know any more about it
than you do. Higgins"
This did not impress or interest him.
You say tie young fellows stopping
at the Grand?"
YES"
well, nobody here knows anything
about it."
'I believe he registered under an
other name" She could have bitten
off her tongue for letting this slip out.
Instantly the man assumed that this
confirmed his most unfavorable prog
nostications. "Ah, ha! Well, what did
he do that for?"
How should know?"
WELL" he shouted, 81 guess l doi
IT'S because he is a sneak! He knows
it's a rotten thing he's doing and he's
afraid of the consequences" He strode
up and down the room in deep and
heavy thought THE men are not in
a very good temper, and, you mark my
words, there'll be the devil to pay
around here before this days over un-
less we get some satisfaction and find
out exactly what he intends to do!"
Josie looked at him with cold and
angry eyes. For an instant she had
been frightened. She had got the bet
ter of her fear now, and in her voice
were both contempt and warning. Il
wouldn't talk like that, if 1 were you,
Higgins!"
He approached her threateningly.
"Oh, you're on their side. are you? 1
thought so!"
Again he went close to her, almost
as if he meant to do her some vio-
lence. His face was black with rage.
Il never did believe in you. l told
the men this morning. For all we
know, you've been working for the in
terests of the trust all the time!"
