4 PRETTY new model in a boudoir
"a or breakfast cap is shown in the
picture given here 1t has no frills
about the face. which marks it as
unusual and welcome variety to
the woman to whom frills are unbe-
coming.
In keeping with the present modes
there is ruffle at the back across the
nape of the neck. The cap is attrac-
lively put together with triangles of
satin, bordered with narrow lingerie
lace at each side, and pretty bows of
satin ribbon ornamented with tiny
chiffon roses to match the satin in
color.
The cap pictured here is made of
a shadow lace founcing eighteen
inches wide. Only half yard of the
lace is required to make 1t in the small
size shown. A lace twenty-five to
twenty-four inches wide is needed for
larger heads. The length of lace re-
quired is the same as the width, so
that the cap is made of square of
lace.
The frill is made at the bordered
edge Of the lace by stitching on a
piece of bias silk tape three inches
from the edge. A piece of fiat elias

CROWD DIDN'T FEAZE MODEL

Her self-possession was perfect.
The curious, aloof smile never left
her lips, and before all those staring,
mocking people. he buttoned her up
the back!
To all appearances she was uncon-
scious of the jeers, but who could tell
what thoughts were burning behind
that broad brow?
AS she felt the eyes of the crowd
following, inch by inch. his hands,
what hot humiliation was hidden by
that seemingly unfeeling exterior!
He was one who was openly, un
doubtedly affected by the painful Pc
sition.
Each coarse jest, each brutal gibe
of the mob pierced him cruelty ant
brought the fierce bushes to his
cheeks. His hands faltered, fumbled
among the hooks and eyes of the film,
gown whose duty it was for him t.
fasten. And so cold was she, SO un
affected, that he had good mind t
cut and run--to leave here there to he
fate. Yet he stayed, hooking, hooking

eyes.
But he muttered hotly: IF the!

Found in a Glacier.

Sir Martin Conway has recently told
this story of finding a lost az in the
Alps: Zurbiggen. one of the cele-
brated mountain climbers Of the
world. In scaling peak Of Les An
glaises, near Chamounix, accidentally
let his ak fall near the summit of the
peak. 1t fell some thousands of feet.
In the normal course of things 1t was
buried in snow and swallowed up In
the glacier, being covered deeper and
deeper each year, and at the same
time being carried slowly downward
as the Ice flowed on. Seven or eight
years afterward Hon. c. G.. Bruce and
Harkbir, a Sepoy chief, in descending
a peak Of the Alps just as night was
falling, and a great crevasse barred
the way, being unable to find the
bridge over 1t. cut path down to
t : bottom, where Harkbir stepped on
an ak which had M. z. Zurbiggen's ini
tials on the handle. There could be
mistake as to the identity Of the
az. as Harkbir had seen 1t and used
1t before.

The bases of the triangles are sewed

decorated with small fiat rosette of
satin ribbon half inch in width.

SO easily and with SO little outlay

He Knew That Money Talks.

He couldn't talk English. though per.
haps he understood little. but he
knew a thing or two. He was riding
on a huckster's wagon past a public
school. His partner had gone into a
house to sell some truck. and he was
learning the business. His clothes
were ragged and shabby, much like
those OF the stage tramp The chill
dren started to jeer at him. making
remarks about his clothes He seemed
to understand that they were making
fun of his clothes. SO he reached in
his pocket and pulled out the bromide
roll of bills that would choke a cow"
These bills he waved at the children,
for apparently he believed that money
would insure respect. even II he did
have old clothes.

shapeliness and style have won 1t an
undisputed place as the most excel

country, not even France, that has
won such results.
The progressiveness and originality
Of American makers of footwear have
been encouraged by a receptive pub
