r HERE is so great variety In the
! incoming modes that one IL bewil-
dered. Many designers, working along
Independent lines, have launched many
designs. and 1t will soon be left to the
public to reject or favor certain styles
and thus develop the fashions for
spring. One authority in gowns de-
clares that our waists are to be small
and that we must all be recorseted.
while another calmly launches ador-
ably pretty gowns in which there Is no
such thing as q waist line.
All Of this difference of opinion
among those who create styles fosters
a growing independence among those
who make fashions. 1t is for women
to decide this season. with nothing to
influence them but their own likings

BARRY Miles.
Ned King nodded triumphantly.

jon to your old promise. Barry; youu
be my best MANI"
Barry thrust out . friendly hand.
''Of course. you can count ON me. old
man? Congratulations-and who II
the girl?"
Ned Redeemed. but his eyes were
bold.
Della Adams" he said carelessly.
Barry whitened and all the light
died out Of his face. Della Adams?"
he repeated In . curious tone. You
are to be congratulated indeed, Ned!"
Thanks Barry. Remember, it's to
be q veg quiet sftair-perhaps a doz-
en- que s. Next Wednesday evening
at seven-and you're to be best mani.
Barry did not vince now. Il shall
not forget" he said gravely as he
turned away.
Was Ned King his friend? Barry
asked himself this question over and
over as he made his way toward the
village hotel.
Surely Ned had known that Barry
Miles, the young salesman for a whole
sale grocery firm in a neighboring
city, was in love with Della Adams,
and Della could have told Ned, il she
cared to listen to something especially
interesting when Barry paid his next
visit to Grasston.
Meanwhile, Ned King had hurried
toward the Adams house and told
Della of the best man arrangement.
Ned! You asked him, Barry, to
be your best MANI" she faltered.
"Why not? He was willing. Said
i was lucky chap to get you-and
guess l am" confidently.
Della smiled strangely. I'm going
to send you home now, Ned. If we
are to be married next Wednesday I
have thousand things to do"
Della watched MIN striding down
the village street, his stocky figure
covering the distance in absurdly long
steps. Why, she asked herself, had
she engaged herself to Ned King when
she loved another man?
Because the death Of her uncle had
left her singularly alone in the world
and she had learned that Barry Miles
WAS engaged to . Drayton girl: !
Della put on her Jersey and went
out into October sunset. The way to
the river led along . narrow path
ankle deep in autumn leaves. She sat
down beneath . bending willow.
Two men were sitting on . gree nat
stone. One Of them was young. and
the dark head was buried In his hands.
He was listening 70 the wQrda of the

Barry drearily. Perhaps she didn't

men shook hands. -
Barry laughed uncertainty. ri was

the marriage license down with me.
It was sort Of . comfort to have It,
you know. The nrm has given me

territory to the northwest And I
thought ! could persuade her to marry
me at once"
He took . folded paper out Of his
pocket and tore 1t across. But before
he could complete its destruction
Della's slender form stood before him
and her hands grasped the marriage
license.
"Della!" he gasped, falling back q
step.
The girl turned blushing face to
the minister.
"Mr. Fraser" she pleaded, please
tell him it is all a mistake"
Ten minutes later Ned King came
whistling down the path in search Of
his fiancee. BY the rivers brink, I'M
der the bending willows, he found her,
standing with her hand in Barry's,
while Mr.. Fraser pronounced bless
ing on their marriage.
For a moment Ned watched them.
Then silently, with CHASTITY face, he
turned and disappeared.

GERMAN PRESS CLAIMS JusTIFl.
CATION.

The American note to Germany on
the sinking Of the Lusitania has been
made public In Berlin and Is being
discussed by the press and the public.
As was TO be expected, the German
press claims full justification and is
still harpIng on it's two main subter-
fuges. to-wit: That the United States
government IL dominated by Great
Britain. and that the United States
has no right TO sell ammunition and
other war supplies to any OF the enc
mics OF Germany. And because Of the
fact that we do sell to them we are
enemies OF Germany. we are prolong-
ing the war and are not entitled to
redress for anything that might hap
pen to our shipping. our property or
our citizens.
The Tagliche Rundschau says;
owing to the presence ON board
the Lusitania OF ammunition which
menaced the lives OF many thousand
German soldiers. II was not only Ger
many's right. but her duty. to sink
this auxiliary cruiser, which was
bringing ammunition to England and
using American citizens as a shield
for carrying contraband. More sacred
than the lives Of neutrals are the lives
OF our compatriots. our brave troops
who would long since have ended the
war n America had not prolonged II
by the profitable export Of arms e
our enemies.

her sober reasonableness, and wher
English mendacity has abated she
