A literary reviewer notes that the
fiction OF last summer is largely cast
in the form Of photographed nara

rather unpopular. but the whirligig OF

knife close against the cap and con-
templated them both for more minutes
than she ever feckoned.
The candle tiuttering low in Its

straction. Catching up the two ar.

restored the one to the closet, the
other to the drawer. and. with swift

slight fare to the bottom. The bodice
OF net and chiffon is merged into the
skirt with a high gathered girdle and
suspenders of the crepe.
The straight jacket is laid In plaits
at the middle of the back and front
and in the shoulder seams. The full
ness at the bottom is gathered into .
narrow hem which is headed with q
band Of silk embroidery in tones OF
brown. blue. rose and gold.
The sleeves are long and finished
with q flaring cuff Of satin. The high
turnover collar at the back Is made
Of satin also. A little study Of this

The Introduction Of satin and chiffon
and the fashion In cutting the jacket
and tunic, help to make her task an
easy one, promising happy conclu-
sion.

SOME GOOD IN VIVID COLOR
Frenchmen Found Their Red Caps
Useful In Signaling to Their
Alert Comrades.

The French have. with the oncom-
ing of winter. put into use the recent
iy adopted great coat for infantry. It
is not, as heretofore. a dark blue, but
a blue-gray. The French hpve left
to their British allies the khaki color,
and they could not adopt the gray
green hue which had already been
chosen by the Germans. So they &C.
cepted a blue. which is neutral and
from a distance scarcely visible. II
blends with the fog of the morning
and the smoke of battle.
As for red, it is now definitely pro.
scribed. The vermilion military cap
is covered with blue. So the foot sol
diers hereafter clothed in shaded
foggy wear will attract less attention
from the enemy. But" says LIE Crle
de Paris, ''if red offers I'm time of war
greater danger to the wearer, 1t may
on occasion present some advantages.
The other day q wounded soldier re-
counted how he and several Of his
comrades wandered into a position in
advance Of the French lines. As they
were taken fOr Germans every time
one stuck his nose above the trench
they drew the fire OF our soldiers. All
at once an idea came to them. They
put on the ends Of their bayonets
their red caps from which they had
removed the cover. The fiEing ceased
and they were enabled to return to
their countrymen. This time Il was
the red that saved them"

The father had laid NO restrictions

could afford to appropriate. Dressing
sufficiently for warmth. she lit a

parture.
There was an inner door, and this
some impulse drove her to open. A
small closet stood revealed. empty

this article she gave great gasp:
then she uttered low pshaw! and
with a shrug Of the shoulders drew
back and flung to the door. But she
opened it again. She had to. One
cannot live in hideous doubt, without
an effort to allay it. She must look
at that small, black article again:

forced to complain Of cold (and in
this she was truthful enough) to ac-

She had passed the first gate and
was on the point Of opening the sec

before her small slip of brown pa
per. Lifting it. she perceived upon 1t
an almost illegible scrawl which she
made out to read thus:
For Mrs EcoviIle.
DO not go wandering all over the town
for clues. Look closer to home.
And below:
You remember the ola saying about

Let your daughter be warned. It Is bet

Because Deborah's mind was quick
it all flashed upon her. bowling her In
spirit to the ground. Reuther had
been singed by the knowledge of her
fathers ignominy, she would be con-
sumed If inquiry were carried further
and this ignominy transferred to the
proper culprft. Oliver alone could be
meant. The doubts she had tried to
suppress from her own mind were
shared by others others!
In FIVE minutes she was crossing the
road, her face composed. her manner

counter. The truth must be hers at
all hazards. II it could be found here.

"Mrs. Scoville, am only too hap

woman was in state of marked em.
