he said "Grierson is preparing to
swallow you whole"
He has as good as done it." was the
detected reply The note falls due
tomorrow; and. as l happened to be
uptown this afternoon, 1 thought 1
would drop in and pay the discount
and renew the paper. Grierson shot
me through the heart. He gave me a
cOck-and-bull story about some bank
examiners protest, and told me l
must be prepared to take up the paper
tomorrow"
''Of course you reminded him of
his agreement"
Sure; and he sawed me of short;
said that any business man borrow
ing money on accommodation paper
knew that it was likely to be called in
on the expiration date; that an extern
sion is really a new transaction, which
the bank is at liberty to refuse to
enter. Oh, he gave it to me cold and
clammy, sitting back in his big chair
and staring up at me through the
smoke of a fat, black cigar while he
did it,

Then 1 remembered the mother and
sister, Kenneth, and did what 1 would
have died rather than do for myself
| I begged like a dog. But 1 might as
well have gone outside and buttea
my head against the brick wall of the
bank"
Griswold forgot his own real,
though possibly indirect, obligation
to Jasper Grierson.
That is where you made a mis-
| take; you should have told him to go
to hi with his money!" was his
acrid comment And then: How
near can you come to lifting this note
tomorrow, Raymer?"
! Near isn't the word. Possibly

up twelve or fifteen thousand dol

Raymer sprang out of his chair as
if its padded arms had been suddenly
turned into high-voltage electrodes.
You will?-you1l do that for me,
Griswold?" he said, with a queer stri-

Reluctantly we turn our backs upon
the adorably pretty afternoon gowns
of organdie, net, embroidered wolfe
and like fabrics, to consider those
made Of heavier materials. Not that
the sheer things have outlived their
usefulness (for they are worn all the
year round), but the designers of new
models In dressy gowns are thinking
in terms Of other fabrics just now. And
II a new gown is needed at the flag
end Of the season it may as we'll be
made according to the latest ideas.
Crepe de chine, taffeta, satin, MESA
line, all present themselves as avail
able for the afternoon frock. The con-
tinued vogue of taffeta is assured and
an attractive frock made OF 1t is
shown here Like good many others
1t is easily within the scope of the am
ateur dressmaker; there is nothing diff
f1cult about it's making The main
thing to remember in attempting to
make an afternoon frock at home Is
that the design, however simple,
should have some little touch of origi-
nality and cleverness. To meet this
need there is a great variety of good
paper patterns, and one may add to
the simplest Of patterns little individ-
ual touches that captivate the atten-
ton and make the gown" as the say
ing is.

a cupful OF chopped celery, a fourth of

juice and thick salad dressing to
use as garnish after the tomato
cups are filled with the mixture. On
top of teaspoonful of the dressing
place half a nut for garnish.
Cheese and peas with a small
amount of dressing makes another
good combination, served on lettuce
leaves.
There is no more delicious soup
than pea soup, if it is well made. It
is prepared as all cream soups, using
rich milk, the vegetable cooked and
put through sieve, and butter and
flour used as binding. Season we'll
with salt and paprika.

potatoes, onions and peas, all cooked

OF all things, millinery requires
careful choosing, and, after it is
bought, the hat requires careful plac-
ing on the head, if it is to fulfill IT'S
destiny. According to an old millin-
cry maxim that destiny Is to Improve
the appearance Of the wearcr. You
must look better with your hat than
without it"-that Is the exacting test
to which each new mode Is to be sub
jected.
The three new models for fall,
which appear here, are types that Will
repay a little study on the part OF
those who consider things before BUY
ing them. They include small tur-
ban, turban with extension crown
which forms halo brim, and one OF
the graceful wide-brimmed hats to
which fashion is extending welcom-
ing hands.
Quite a number of these wide
brimmed hats are shaped with brims
turning upward at the back. This has
brought in the underDrim trimming
again and it is not confined to wide
brimmed shapes. Short, curling
ostrich plumes fit into the trimming
Of the underbrim in the most graceful
way.
