Just to prove that American FASH
ion designers kept the promises made
soon after war was declared to make
fashionable fashions" for American
women, Nine. ALA Ripley, president
of the Art Fashion League of Amer
lea, gave a fashion fete recently in
Chicago.
The gowns displayed included
everything from bridal gowns to
''trotter" suits, and they set the
doubts of the Easter girl at rest
She's sure now she may be fashion
ably arrayed on Easter day, even if
Paris is fenced of by submarine
mines. ...s.a..
When a Siamese girl attains the
age of 80 without marrying she is
placed in a privileged class under the
special care of the king, who binds
himself to find a husband for her.
His method is extremely simple. A
prisoner in any of the Siamese jails
may gain his pardon and release by
marrying. one of the mature maidens.

Together they carried the s,een,,

Together they carried the sleeping
girl out of the room into larger
apartment. A single electric light was
burning on the top of square mirror
fixed upon an easel. Towards this
they carried the girl and laid her in an
easy chair almost opposite to it.
"The battery is just on the left"
Laura whispered.
Quest nodded.
"Give me the band"
She turned away for moment and
disappeared in the shadows. When
she returned, she carried a curved
band of flexible steel. Quest took it
from her, attached it by means of a
coil of wire to the battery, and with
firm, soft fingers slipped it on to
Lenora's forehead. Then he stepped
back.
"She's subject, Laura-rm sure
of it! Now for our great experiment"
They watched Lenora intently.
"Lenora," Quest said, slowly and
firmly, your mind is full of one sub.
ject. You see your mistress in her
chair by the fireside. She is toying
with her diamonds. Look again. She
lies there dead! Who was it entered
the room, Lenora? Look! Look!
Gaze into that mirror. What do you
see there?"
The girls eyes had opened. They
were fixed now upon the mirror-dis-
tended, full of unholy things.
"Try harder, Lenora," he muttered,
his own breath laboring. "It is there
in your brain! Look!"
For a single second the smooth sur
face of the mirror was obscured. A
room crept dimly like a picture into
being, a fire upon the hearth, girl
leaning back in her chair. A door
in the background opened. A man
stole out. He crept nearer to the girl
his eyes fixed upon the diamonds, a
thin, silken cord twisted round his
wrist. Suddenly she saw him-too
late! His hand was upon her lips,
his face seemed to start almost from
the mirror-then blackness!
Lenora opened her eyes. She was
still in the easy-chair before the fire.
"Mr. Quest!" she faltered.
He looked up from some letters
which he had been studying
II am SO sorry" he said politely. 81
really had forgotten that you were
here But you know-that you have
been to sleep?"
Can T go now?" she asked.
Certainly" Quest replied. ITO tell

all. A messenger from the police sta

have come to the conclusion that a
very well-known gang of New York
criminals are in this thing. We know
how to track them down all right"
II may go now, then?" she repeated,
with immense relief.
Quest escorted the girl downstairs,
opened the front door, blew his whis.
tie and his car pulled up at the door.
"Take this young lady," he ordered.

The girl drove off. Quest watched
the car disappear around the corner.
Then he turned slowly and made prep

He hesitated for moment, feeling
the articles in his overcoat pocket-a
revolver in one, small piece Of hard
substance in the other. Then he
stepped into his car, which had just
returned.
Where did you leave the young
LADY," he asked the chauffeur.
"In Broadway, sir. She left me and
boarded a cross-town car"
Quest nodded approvingly.

He gripped it in his fingers, stood
as nearly as possible underneath the
spot from which he had been project

flung the black pebble against the

lowed shook the very ground under
his feet. For minutes afterwards
everything around him seemed to

dusty but unhurt, and touched con-
