"Then my doctor, who drinks Pos

eight months ago. Since then nave
had but few of those spells, none for

MARION AND HARRY
BY JOHN HAND.


Kitty met Marion Haynes at the
door.
why, Marion, dear, this seems too
dear to be true" she said. And now
that I've got you here l am not going
to let you go home for a whole month
at least"
The girls had been i~nseparable at
college, but they had graduated at the
same time, five years before, and since
then they had not seen each other, for
they lived in towns nearly a hundred
miles apart. Gradually the exchange
of letters had dwindied, and in spite
of their continued affection they had
become reconciled to the separation.
Then Kitty had seemed to discover
a new interest in her friend. She had
written to her to come and spend a
week or two with her, and had insisted
until Marion came.
That evening, when the girls were
alone, Kitty said:
Marion, l have a secret to tell you
Marion's eyes instantly fell to the
level of Kitty's lap. But the engage
ment finger had no ring on IT.
we haven't spoken a word OF love
a yet" Kitty continued, but am
very fond of Harry, and | know he
cares for me. Now, Marion, you re
member when we were at college we
promised never to have any secrets
from each other. Has there been any
romance in your own life?"
Marion remained dumb. Some things
are too tragic to be told.
"You see, about Harry and me" Kit
ty prattled on-she had always bee
a chatterbox-"it is this way: me
him through our mutual friends tn
Fernleys, six months ago, and we like
each other from the first minute. An
he was SO interesting; he had had a
unhappy love affair a couple of year
ago. Mr.. Lamont was wildly in low
with some girl or other, and she jilte
him"
Marion sat as still as though sh

~ strued these days to mean, in
reality, sweet eighteen to twenty-four;
for sweet sixteen of these days is a
little too young to prove interesting
outside her own circle of relatives or
schoolmates. The two pretty frocks
for a young girl. pictured here, are
suitable designs for any of the festive
occasions.
1t will be seen that they allow
plenty Of freedom for the frolicsome
dances to which youth is just now SO
devoted. The materials are supple, and
the skirts sufficiently full.
For these fascinating dresses soft
sheer fabrics are to be chosen. There
are plenty of them. Voiles (plain or
fowered), chiffon, silk or cotton
crepes, wool or cotton challies, nets
chiffon taffetas and other light silks

numbers of novelties that have beer

Artists $4,000 Years Ago,

MAN began to be IN artist subse-
quent to the last ice age, which period
is roughly estimated at from 25,000 to
10000 years ago." said Prof. George
Grant MacCurdy at the University
Museum lecture the other afternoon.
"At least that is the time the funda'
mentals first appear. Therefore, man
was an artist before he was a msker
of hieroglyphics. He produced objects
of beauty before he tanned the wild
beasts.
THE cave artist was practically
without an artistic background, b CHI
matte, faunal and other environment
played no important part In the orr
gin of troglodite art. The models were
game animals. and ran largely to pro-
files, for the cav artist had not
learned perspective, but he understood
motion. He made single figures, Dut
was long in acquiring composition"

her acquitted, and she wrote him an
