The New Corsets

Although there is as yet no very
decided change in the line of the new
corsets, they are bit more curved at
the waist than recently.
The more erect carriage of the fig
ure which replaced the SLOUGH hat at
Paris openings necessitates a trimmer
figure, and as corsets are the founda-
ton of dress, they naturally take the
newer line
OF course. many of the present
STYLES of dress demand, and are likely
to continue to demand, the corset
less appearance, but the woman who
dresses well and who pays the at
tention TO her corsets which is their
due, knows well that this does not
mean that they should not fit.
There has been an impression that,
although some sort of q corset was
required to give the "corset'ess lines,
almost any supple model would
answer
This is an absolutely erroneous idea.
Although the present corsets should
be soft and supple they must not APP
pear shapeless, and they require even
more careful fitting than did the
heavily boned models Of former sea-
sons.
Not only excellent Judgment but
competent judgment is required to
select the model to suit the individual
figure, and it must be remembered
that there are some figures which
would be utterly impossible If al

planned.
"Ohl" said Davie, and then:
What are you when you look

like yours, when you read?"

the cook, who was listening; IAN
now, pray. how're we going to an

What are you?" repeated Davie.
''Why-er, just a man whose eyes
aren't as strong as they should be,
said father Dear, smiling at Norah.
And then he added quickly. but
when l get to thinking about my
poor sight I'll just pretend to put
on rose-colored glasses, and they'll

Huh" said Davie, still a little
puzzled. And then mother Dear
appeared in the doorway and de-
manded to know If anybody in the
dear Dear house was hungry.
II am" cried father Dear with
emphasis, I'm hungry for crabs"
We'll, you may have some for
your dinner said mother Dear,
selecting four big ones and putting
them on plate. Come now, chill
dren."
But father said he was going to
eat eight" spoke Davie dolefully,
land you've only given him four"
Then father Dear leaned down and
whispered in Davies ear, IF l want
more I'll come out on tiptoe and
help myself. Don't tell anybody"
And Davies face shone again,

city editor nodded.
THE secret service at Washington
has suspicious of a certain place in
the city that is supposed to be a
clothing store that does not seem all
right. 1t doesn't turn out extra good

varlan started. You mean it is
suspected of counterfeiting?

member him of the gilt-edge bond

Varlan; surely the police wouldn't,
just yet"
Mr.. Belmont, who owned the for

your first write-up, gave it with the
express condition that you alone get
the story" -

HE liked your write-up on the Bel
mont, that's why-but to continue
the place the service suspects is No.
II - street. 1t is a nice looking
clothing store, kept by a former po-
lice captain. It has low bay windows
on the right side which are marked
with red chalk, so it's easy to know
it when you see it. Mr. Belmont said
he believes something may turn up
tomorrow night, so guard yourself
and try to watch the house all night"
The next night Varlan was de-
lighted at finding the clothing store
owner was the man who, when police
captain, had given him his first big
"bcat."
He told him his suspicious and the
clothier said: Eyes, hear a great
racket from overhead every night but
the tenants said they made gold med

asked them why they didn't take a
big establishment to make them in
and they said they had also an in
vention which they wanted kept from
prying eyes"
Varlan hid behind a bush, and
about 1920 discerned about six men
entering the side door. Something
within him seemed to tell him to keep
away from the place. but he did not
heed. He slowly arose and saw each
man adjust a white cloth which COW
cred the lower part of his face and
left only the eyes visible.
They knocked with a peculiar sharp
knock. Then one, seemingly the
leader, said:

Let me see.
What did we talk about yester-
day?
I cannot think.
Oh yesl 1t was crabs. The crabs
that Dorothy and Davie and nurse
Nellie caught in the river and had
Norah cook for father Dear. Ana
when he came home they were in a
row on the kitchen table, as red as

". In the first place he loved to
have the children think of him, and
in the second he was very fond OF
crabs.

up a big crab and inspecting its
claws. Nice white meat in these,
cried father Dear.
Davie skipped gleefully about the
kitchen.

lines and old meat and a net and
a basket" he announced, talking
very fast. 1.-THE first one l got ran

after that we kept still. And once

without smile, Il mean the crabs
Mother and Buster couldn't get in

1T sounded that way, though"
said Dorothy, with a giggle. And
then she told father Dear about the
funny old man from whom they
had hired the Grabbing things.
"He didn't b'lieve we'd catch one"
she said, but we did, a lot. He
didn't seem to see any use in any
thing. Wasn't he queer?"
Father Dear told Dorothy that a
great many people were like that,
because they saw the world through
blue glasses, instead of rose colored
ones.
But this old man didn't have
glasses at ALL" said Davie. And
then father Dear had quite time
making him understand that blue
glasses didn't really mean blue
glasses, but just the way people
had of looking at life.

Monogrammed China

The hostess who entertains largely
cannot do better than fill her china
cupboard with handsome mono
grammed sets. In no other way is
ones individuality so marked, and,
while not any more expensive, there
is an air of exclusiveness about such
china that goes far toward making
success of any formal affair where
table is to be filled with distinguished
guests.
Perhaps of all offered, the gold and
white china, with gold monogram, is
the most to be desired. There is an
air of refinement about such a set
that no tinted ware, however delicate
or expensive, carries. This refers, of
course, only TO the tableware. For
candlesticks, pitchers and the many
small pieces for decorating as well as
for their usefulness, Limoges, Ores
den, Sevres and all the charming
makes will always be in demand

I'm here"
"All right" said the leader. not sus-
pecting, "but don't keep us waiting
again" As he said this the door
opened and they tip-tied softly into a
room dimly lighted. Shivering with
fear, Varian followed. What if No.
should come? He felt like backing
out, but too late-the door was
locked.
"Aw, this mask makes me sick"
growled one. why do we have to
wear one?'
"supposing someone unlimited
walked in on us; he'd know us in

At that the dissatisfied one stopped,
complaining.
Proceed" said the leader, at which
the men started lifting a heavy box
to the table, labeled dynamite.
Varlan nearly jumped back in
fright Were these men anarchists
and counterfeiters? He proceeded to
help lift the box. The leader said
something that caused Varlan
SILVER of horror. He said:
Say, No. z, why are you lifting the
box? You know you're to set the
bomb at Gavanaugh's door Proceed.
The bombs in that room"
AS he spoke, a volley of shots rang
out. Two men dropped. The men
were on the point of dra wing their
guns when the leader did a remark
ably strange thing. He drew brace
of revolvers and curtly said, Hands
up,' The astonished band slowly
raised their hands, Varlan included.
The leader slowly backed to the door
and unbolted it, and a score of de-
tectives entered and handcuffed all
The band were too astonished to
speak, but the leader broke the spell
by saying to the chief of the de-
tectives:
Il Joined a week ago. as you said,
Cap, and became a leader here
Very good" murmured the chief.
Then, turning to the Black Hand an
archist band, he said
II am pleased to introduce you to
Detective King, of the Scotland Yard,
who will now take his man with him
to England on q charge of forgery"
II want No T." said King.
Heretofore Varlan had remained
quiet, but he said now: "I am Re-
porter Carter, of the Daily --. of
! Nassau street-not the man you're
after"
Then he gave his story King
gasped: mo. has escaped, then"
Then, turning to Carter, he said
You are smarter than most of my
set, young man lat which the de-
detective flushed, "and 1 realize
! that you wanted the story, but I ask
you. or rather beg you, to join us.

Here are some Others:
Pear and Peach lam

Take equal quantities of peaches
and pears and to every quart add
the juice of one lemon and one
orange and the peel of the orange.
(Boil the orange peel in two waters
and drain, then cut into thin strips
and add to the fruit.) Allow the
fruit TO simmer, uncovered for half
an hour and add n pound of sugar
to every pound of fruit. If you
have ten pounds of fruit you can
safely deduct one pound of sugar,
and the fruit will keep all right.
Boil slowly about ten minutes after
sugar is added, stirring often to
prevent burning. Pour into jam
pots and cover with paraffine.
