THINK BENAREs OLDEST CITY
Sacred Spot to Hindus, Its Claim Is
Supported by Most Students OF
Indian History.

Which Is the oldest city IN India?
An attempt has been made to identity
the Purana Kila at Delhi as built
on the site on which was situated the
Indraput, mentioned in the Mahab-
harata as the capital Of the five Pan
davas. That Is quite possible. but In
any case Indraput disappeared long
ago. Current Indian beliefs Is that
as a city Benares is absolutely the
oldest in India. So much we do know
from history that though In past CEN
turies it rivaled Delhi In wealth and
magnif1cence, the conquerors left II
alone. There has never been sack
of BSnares, and this is the more curl
GUS because 1t stands on one or the
highways Of commerce In India. Its
position on the Ganges would natur-
ally make 1t big center. We know
that to Rindus, Benares or Kasi, Is
the most sacred spot on earth, and
that those who die there are forgiven
all their sins. It Is to the special In
terpo4tion Of Providence that Hin
dus ascribe the freedom OF Benares
from the sackings and devastation
that have been the fate of other great
Indian cities. In any case Benares
ought to offer much good to any In
dian antiquary. The archaeological
department has, of course, to leave 1t
alone, because 1t Is still the center
of a living Hinduism.

MIGHT BE CHANCE FOR HIM
Suggestion Made by Smart Young
Man, Though, Was Not Altogether
Pleasing One.

There Is a certain middle-aged and
old-fashioned business man who is a
little doubtful whether he. or the 9th
er, carried off the honors of war in an
interview given to smart young man.
The smart young man was applying
for berth.
Let me see," said the merchant,
you've called on me before, but not
on your present errand. The first time
you represented Up-to-Date, Limited.
and offered to put our concern on mod
ern lines. Then you came on behalf of
Systems and Files, and said you were
business doctors. And after that you
came as the publicity expert of the
Newest in Ads company
THAT is so, sir"
And are ali these-er-companies
dead?"
The young man reluctantly admitted
that they were.
"Yet, after coming here three times
to offer to teach US our business, when
your concern 60 down you coolly So
licit a berth in this poor effeta old
firm. Why, what use are you to usT
Look at your record!"
The optimist countered that easily.
"You never know, sir. I might be
very useful. Look what splendid ex-
perience I've had in winding UP COM
panies"

lingerie Iaces to embellish the plain
! sheer fabrics of which most of them
are made.
Just now, to be worn with tailored
suits, there are ''laundered SETS" by
which is meant stiff collars and cuffs
which are either plain or embroidered,
and starched into the required stin'
ness. One of these collars, with one
of the cuffs to match, is shown in the
picture. It has a small vestee and
fastens up rather close about the neck.
The cuff is provided with little tab
which is pinned to the coat sleeve.
The crisp freshness of these sets adds
100 per cent of style to the plain
street suit. Similar sets Of sheer or.
candle are just as pretty.
A plain vestee with military collar,
made of organdie, is also shawn in the
picture. The fronts of the yestee are
hemstitched, the edges of the collar
finished in the same way, and the col
lar attached to the vestee with hem.

feature of this piece.
This standing collar is a novelty
| that will be welcomed b. women who
prefer to have the throat covered and
those to whom other types are not be-
coming.
Among the prettiest collars, with
cuffs to match, are severe and simple
styles in the roll-over collar, made Il
organdie. Often the only ornament Is
a narrow, transparent fluted edgins
The collars fasten up moderately close
about the neck.

CHAPTER XIV.
To the Rescue.

With magical swiftness the semi
darkness began to swarm with strug-
Cling shapes, which sprang from ev-
erywhere and nowhere.
Returning the blow OF his assailant
with all his puny strength, Pedro man

back against the house, where, from
within, he could still hear Hills voice
shouting directions which, however,
were unintelligible to his distracted at

Jeans string of rough oaths roared
upon the turmoil, and Lovejoy began
yelping for the police. At this latter
cry there was a slight wavering among
their unknown assailants, but it was
quickly mended by new onrush.

the ship now left their tasks and

A LTHOUGH the small hat has tri-
"a umphed for four seasons 1t shows
not the slightest sign of losing ground
And for midwinter, with fur furore
and many brilliant trimming novelties
at the milliner's hand, the small hat
cannot be outrivaled for beauty. Vel.
vet and furs look unusually well with
the many metallic trimmings which
will sparkle along with the frost as
long as winter lasts.
Besides the endless number of tur-
ban shapes there are small hats with
straight brims, made of metallic nets
or laces, and velvet crowns for those
who prefer brimmed shapes to the
turban. Among the most elegant of
models are those having half the brim
of velvet, bordered with wide flange
of silver or gold lace or net, and the
crown Of velvet. For a hat of this
kind the trimming is often collar of
mink or ermine or fitch. Sometimes
big flower of metallic net, having
each petal bound with fur, is used for
garniture, and sometimes brilliant silk
and velvet roses are used. Hats of
this kind are rather difficult to make
and require perfect workmanship and
the best material.
Occasionally moderately wide
brimmed hat emphasizes Just how be-

r. HE making of neckwear has grown
j into business of really great mag
nitude, and those who manufacture col
lars and frills for the necks of wom-
ankind keep designers as busy as those
who create millinery. These design
ers follow the trend of fashion, but
must produce variations in all types
of neckwear that will captivate by
their daintiness and beauty and have
something of novelty to recommend
them.
Just now there are several distinct
types of collars that are fashionable,
leading off with the De Medici type,
which will maintain its supremacy.
Then there are Follower and turn
over collars, and those that take their
inspiration from the sailor collar
Added to these are frills that extend
all around or only part way around the
neck.
These several types are elaborated
In all sorts of ways. There are medici
collars with vestees, others with capes,
and still others combined with berthas.
And they are made of lace or net or
sheer embroidery or organdie, en-
bellished with fine, narrow laces with
hemstitching, tucks or cords. All other
types are mada with as great variety
in construction and material.
In finishing neck frills, velvet and
satin ribbons and ribbon flowers are
added to them, while the medici and
sailor types, with turnover and roll
over collars, indulge in fine embroid-
cry, in evenly laid tucks and in in
serted cords, with hemstitching and

shown in the picture, and for shape

into this section, sat Theodore Pell,
the reporter, in company with three
companions-Ell the painter, and
two women. They were all very hila-
rious, but catching sight Of Pedro, Pell
excused himself, and began a some
what uncertain progress in the direc-
ton Of the newcomer. At the same
instant a man who seemed to be in
authority there accosted the three and
demanded to know if they wanted to
have Mr.. Jones perform.
"The house takes half of what you
get" he added.

here?" asked Pedro.
Nope, never yet" said the man,
"but it might go. Try it On after the
next dance, if you like"
Maybe / WILL" replied the other.
Then, as the proprietor moved away,
he added, speaking to Lovejoy in a
low tone, Let us get right away. This
place is too open. Nothing serious
could happen here, and besides l am
almost certain that Hill has not been
here, from what that fellow said

was already quite fierce struggle, and
Pedro very soon began to find it diff
cult to keep his feet. The man with
whom he was confronted had an over
whelming advantage in height and
weight, while Pedro was slight and
soft, and, truth to tell, rather badly
frightened. If only he could manage
to keep the fellow from knocking him
out till Beau-Jean and Lovejoy man
aged to win, or the police arrived. But

suppressed the temptation to call upon
his friends for help, and with sobbing

his opponent from graphing with him.

It Is an old whimsey of fashion

fiounces on tailored skirts intended
for street wear. A smart tailleur for
autumn is a tete de negre broadcloth
with a tunic and belted coat. The
tunic extends to the knee, where there
