Fur is so universally used in winter
millinery that it has been an easy
matter for the designer to fashion
three-piece sets. consisting of hat,
neckpiece, and mum employing velvet
and fur in combination. These sets
are very smart with tailored suits.
The hats are usually small and 80

high and few of them are much longer
than necessary to reach comfortably
around the neck.

The Spanish influence in fashions of
the day is more evident in evening
gowns than in others, although it
mas be detected everywhere. A model
recently shown by famous New
York house developed the idea in the
cleverest way in an evening gown
made of fiesh-colored satin and
canary-co1ored tulle. The skirt was
full, round and short, cut true to the
original form, and two wide bands of
gold applique and rose brocade
adorned it. One of them was placed
at the height of the knee and the
other halfway between this and the
girdle, which was of the same band
ing. The bodice was merely baby
waist of the satin.
The canary tulle yelled the skirt
with full oyerskirt, cascaded at each
side, and it covered the bodice, falling
in ripples over the top of the girdle.
A red rose was worn in the hair, Span
ish fashion.
The gown of light pink satin pic
tured here is less full and less short
than the model just described. but be-
longs to the same style. The plai0.
moderately full skirt is caught up at
each side with silk ornaments and

The trusty, sisterly, sensible voice
half bantering but altogether kind,
genuinely interested if the least bit
inQuisitive, too, would have gone to a
harder or more hardened heart than

Yet as Cazalet lighted his pipe he
looked old enough to be her father.

Blanche. Il know you're bothered.

How do you know? believe you're

Well?" he said.

encouraged by his silence. I'm not
half a bad nurse, really!"

She had been trying to avoid the
direct question as far as possible, but
this one seemed so harmless. Yet it
was received in stony silence unlike
any that had gone before. 1t was as
though Cazalet neither moved nor
breathed. whereas he had been all
signs and ffdgets just before. His pipe
was out already-that was the one
merit of bush tobacco, it required
constant attention-and he did not

gan. That had been a tacit rule of the
road, of wayside talk and indoor orgy.
But Blanche had always assumed that
Cazalet had been to see him in the
prison; and now he told her that he
never had.
Il can't face him." he cried under
his breath. "and that's the truth! Let
me get him out of this hole. and I'm
his man forever; but until do, while
there's a chance of failing, l simply

He hasn't asked to see you because
he doesn't know what you're doing for

gerly as she was speaking, all her re-
pressed feelings coming to their own
in her for just moment. "He doesn't
know because do believe you
wouldn't have him told that you'd ar

He was too much of one to sit still

feelings in fashion worthy OF the
title just bestowed upon her II only
he had stopped at that. and kept his
blessing to himself! It sounded so
very much more like a knell that
Blanche had begun first to laugh, and
then to make such fool of herself
las she herself reiterated) that she
was obliged to run away in the worst
possible order
But that was not the end of those
four superfinous words of final bene-
diction; before the night was out they
had solved. to Branches satisfaction,
the hitherto impenetrable mystery of
Cazalet's conduct
He had done something in Austria

tween him and her. Blanche did not
mean something wrong. much less a
crime. least of all any sort Of com
plicity in the great crime which had
been committed while he was ON his
way home. But she believed the
worst he had done was to emulate
his friend. Mr.. Potts. and to get en-
gagged or perhaps actually married to
somebody in the bush.
There was no reason why he should
not; there never had been any sort
or kind OF understanding between her
self and him: 1t was only as lifelong
friends that they had written to each
other. and that only once year. Life
long friendships are additionally fatal
to romance. They had both been
free as air; and If he was free no
longer. she had absolutely no cause
for complaint. even II she was fool
enough to feel II.
All this she saw quite clearly In her
very honest heart. And yet. he might
have told her; he need not have flown

to go out to Australia. and then never
have mentioned it again; he might
just as well have told her If he had or
hoped to have wife to welcome her!
OF course he saw It afterward, him
self; that was why the whole subject
OF Australia had been dropped SO sud
denly and for good. Most likely he
had married beneath him; if so, she
was very sorry, but he might have said
that he was married.
Curiously enough, it was over Mar
tina that she felt least able to forgive
him. Martha would say. nothing, but
her unspoken foundations OF GAIA
let would be only less intolerable than
her unspoken sympathy with Blanche.
Martha had been perfectly awful about
the whole thing. And Martha had com.
mitted the final outrage of being per.
fectly right, from her idiotic point of
view.
Now among all these meditations of
long night and of still longer day.
in which nobody even troubled to send
her word of the case at Kingston, it
would be too much to say that no
thought of Hilton Toye ever entered
the mind of Blanche. She could not
help liking him; he amused her i'm

twice, and warned her he would again

The story of this winters styles in
millinery will soon be closed to make
way for that of the styles designed
for tourists wear. Palm Beach has
bestowed its world-famous name on
this class of hats and they are inter
esting in themselves, and as harbin-
gers of spring. whose influence will be
felt in it's modes. But the millinery
of the hour displays the high standard
that was set for harmony by the intro
duction OF the hat with neckpiece to
match, and now to these is added the
veil to match also.
Neckpieces to be worn with mid
winter hats are made of some ma
terial appearing in them and take the
form of rufus, boas. or scarfs, with the
preponderence of favor given to ruffs,
An example of each OF them appears
in the group of matched sets shown In
the picture above.
The familiar ostrich neckpiece is
worn with a wide-brimmed dress hat
trimmed with a cluster of four short
plumes at the front. Below, at the
left. is a small felt hat with round
crown and graceful upward-turning
brim. A band of velvet in black and
one of faille ribbon in coral pink cover
the side crown, and a fat bow of the
ribbon covers the mounting Of an or
nament of steel and fur at the front.
The neckpiece to match this hat is

over the tragic stopper on that plan.
And would you still?" she asked.

"Rather!"
There was neither shame, pose, nor
hesitation about that. Blanche went
through into the room without word,
but her eyes shone finely in the lamp

and stood half in the balcony, framed
as in panel. looking for place.

The last words were italics In
Branches voice, and it trembled. but

formula:

in all my life! But it's true. and so
it should be. don't take any credit
for it,

his jaw worked. Look here, Blanche!

forces, as actual emanations from the
strongest personality that had ever

In the day of reaction, such consid

single spies, each with certain con-
ISOLATION, not altogether innocent of
comparisons. But the battalion of
Toye's virtues only marched on
Blanche when Martha came to her, on
the little green rug of a lawn behind
the house, to say that Mr.. Toye him
self had called and was in the draw

quickly made herself smarter than she
had ever done by day for Walter GAIA

he said, "but that's just what I've
come to do-for the third time!"
"Oh. Mr.. Toye!" cried Blanche,
really frightened by the face that
made his meaning clear. It relaxed
little as she shrank involuntarily,
but the compassion in his eyes and
mouth did not lessen their steady de-
| termination.

Evidently he was on the eve of yet an

to America. and he wanted to go over

had bad news to break'to her. but this
was no worse than she had heard be-

cope with him; everything was differ

was distinctly frightened by him. But
