GOOD DEFINITION OF "CAIC"
Visiting EneIishman Well Describes
the Elegant Women Who Are the
Pride of New York.

Lord Morley, at IA luncheon at the
Ritz-Carlton in New York, said of the
American woman
The American woman as she
glides in her motorcar down Fifth
avenue or as she hurries from her
jewelers. to Sherry's, is perhaps the
most elegant woman in the world.
Fifth avenue is perhaps the most
elegant street in the world. Broad
and straight. bordered with splendid
shops and hotels of pale stone,
drenched with sunshine and rooted
with a luminous blue sky, Fifth ave
nue. is fitting promenade for Ameri'
cas- beautiful women.
But these women dress, perhaps, a
little too boldly for the street. Take,
for example, their tight gowns with a
slit at the side-a slit through which
advances and retreats slim foot in
patent leather shoe and supple
ankle in a gossamer silk stocking.
This is perhaps too overwhelming a
costume for street wear
yet in such a costume the Amerl-
can woman is undoubtedly chic. And
this raises the question. What is
CHIEF"
Lord Morley paused and smiled
Then he continued
"Chic, would reply. is the art OF
wearing bold gown modestly."

CHAPTER xVII.-contlnued.

Although Gloria had professed that
she had no fear about being left with
the sick woman, when she said it she
had in mind only fear Of being alone
in such a dismal lodging house and
fear that she might be called upon to
act as doctor and trained nurse both
were her patient to take a turn for the
worse. Now. however, a new thought
came to her How was she to act?
What was she to do to amuse her?
She felt instinctively the antipathy
she had aroused, She covered like a
lamb before this young she-wolf Of the
city. She was alone, defenseless. with
this creature that had so far reverted
to type that she might rend and tear.
Even in battle of wits. and thar was
all there would be If the girl did not
ignore her entirely, Gloria felt her
self no match for this brazen child of
misfortune. Her comparisons were
physical, but II was not a physical

up-to-Date Claquer.

The theatrical claquer has ever been
an institution in France, especially
Paris, where a chef de claque" en-
joys a recognized status and receives
a comfortable income. 1t is a mistake
to suppose that the only duty of
claquers is to applaud. A wellorgan-
lied claque includes the art of infec-
tious laughter. These, called "chatouil-
leurs," attend the lighter forms of
drama and laugh so heartily and
naturally that their neighbors join in,
and leave the house convinced that the
play must be a most amusing one.
Then, too, there are the "pleureuses, -
who are paid to shake with sobs at the
right moment during melodrama.
