VARIOUS COLORS ARE COMBINED.

I the woman who is altering frocks Is
the arrangement of a deep girdle, that
begins at the waist line or drops Wen
| below it. beginning at the bust, which
is built up of several contrasting colors
On a dinner gown of pansy velvet
there is a ten-inch girdle that Is
Strengthened out over the waist. made
of satin in an odd shade of pink, blue,
Above this is a decollete shoulder drap-
cry of gray tulle held on the shoulders
with tiny cut steel ornaments.
, That may give an idea of what Is
done. Another manipulation OF con-
trasting colors is in gown by Jenny.
which is sketched today. 1t is of taffeta
and chiffon. The skirt is yellow, and
the bodice is in pale pink, blue and yell
low taffeta, with bands of brown fur
for the sleeves, or, rather, these are
used to accentuate the lack of sleeves,
for Jenny has shown in several IN
stances that she will insist upon sleeve
less evening frocks.
A Variety of Washwoman's Skirt.
Callot was the first designer to In
troduce the so-ca1led washwoman's
skirt 1t was abandoned in America be-
cause women grew tired of having
every one whisper to them that their
skirt was turned up in the back, or
having it torn by surreptitious attempts
by well meaning persons to turn it
down without saying anything.
This new washwoman skirt, how
ever. will cause no confusion in the
mind as to it's intention. 1t is merely
punched up about the hips as the scrub
women have punched their calicoes
since the beginning. 1t makes the hips
look larger, of course, but nearly every
kind of fashionable drapery today does
he w n hn emf
ferS from this defect may find herself
at last able to hide it.
The band of fur which catches the
fullness to the figure about the hips
afterthought. or in a mood of expert
mentation. which, after ALL is the be-
ginning of a great many fashions.
There is no doubt that the hip drap-
cry is in its heyday. Whether or not the
new idea for straight, full skirts that
sweep the floor will oust it remains in
the lap of the future. For the moment,
and that is long enough to consider any
fashion, the more one punches the skirt
fullness into some sort of vatican ef-
feet below the waist the more one is in
fashion.
For one thing. it usually offsets the
width at the hem and makes some kind
of pleasing contrast to it. 1t also serves
ness from the exact front of the figure,
which is difficult to handle.
Again the Rainbow Frock.
All this introduction of pastel colors
put together in panels. or folds, brings
back into fashion the rainbow frock of
other days. Given a piece Of gold or
silver cloth for an underskirt, and sew
eral lengths of pale-colored tulle, the
dressmaker can accomplish quite a
marvel in the way of an evening gown,
especially for the young. The older
woman has taken up the idea for ser
self by using gray and silver panels
With alternating ones of pale lavender
and white.

have fallen into the habit of dating
everything in my life from the time
of my Gripping accident.
When / was little girl. some years
before my accident, used to see the
young fellow at the. window Of the
adjacent house. The family had just
moved in,. but we did not know each
other. In large towns, this is often
the way.
l am. three years older than Madge,
my sister, and it, always behooved me
to set her n good example. Perhaps
on that account was especially anxi-
GUS that she should not see me ex-
change glances with the boy at the
window opposite. And Madge was
always the beauty, while am plain:
what could do Madge must not do
without, more serious consequences.
The house was, ours. Our parents
had died when We were small, and an
aunt came to live with us and take
charge. When she died was twenty
two and Madge nineteen. We stayed
on in the house, bat our annuity was
a tiny one. There was just enough.
money to let us exist and little more.
We used to, talk about our future. OF
course we both expected to be mar
ried.

like me?" / asked, though in my heart
l knew some day the man would come.
Madge was indignant with me: She
always saw me through the glasses
of love. But beside, Madge I was, a
black little dwarf. Madgs had one OF
those saints faces, and wealth of
golden hahn that made her wonderful.
If we had been like other girls-I
mean, used to social life-her admir-
ers would have been innumerable.
All this while the family had lived
next door: We had come to, know
them slightly. Roger, the young man.

seen him. for years.
Then came the accident. It was a

wondered why the look of pain re.
manned on Madge's face. At last they
told me. l should never be able to
walk without crutches again.
For a whole year was an invalid.
One day a famous visiting surgeon
passed through our town. He spent
four hours here, and two of them were
at my bedside. Madge had brought
him, pleading that he should come and
examine me. He shook his head
frankly when he had completed the
examination.
There Is one man who can re.
place the knee in the socket, and
that is Ochs Of Vienna" he said. 1T

never successfully. He has a special

ligaments. You must 60 to him IL you

When he was gone Madge and I
stared at each other in dismay. Even
II the great surgeon were willing to
operate for nothing. it was impossible
to 90 to Vienna unless-we sold tho
house!
We'll sell it." said Madge.
OF course I refused, and that was
the beginning Of our first big quarrel.
For days Madge went about with a
sullen face. But I would not give
way. How could jeopardize our fu.
ture. her future. in order to get NV
knee Strengthened?
FINALLY We arrived at a compromise.
The house should be sold-after
Madge married. Then, If she married
well, we could afford the sacrifice. I
could live on less than two needed
and the knee could wait. The sur.
geon had said that It could wait

his left arm was tucked into the
