Ruth nodded, looking at the note.
Then she said. more cheerfully: "I'n

Now, you old dear, leave me awhile"
Kane departed, and Ruth quickly
changed into street dress. While she
was doing this the bellboy returned to
say that a machine was waiting for
her.

Tom Kane on the telephone and told
him that she was going. John sent a

"All right" came back the answer.
''I'll just travel along. Maybe might
help John myself"
So it was agreed. and they met in

No one can afford to be Indifferent
when it comes to the selection Of
clothes, for they are the universal
means of expression by which 1t Is
possible to convey something of their
wearers personality to whomever
he meets. And in the selection Of
coats and hats the judgment is put to
the hardest test. This Is because we
may have fewer of these than of other
items of our apparel, and what we
have must do more varied and more
constant service.
But where the choice Is broadened
by needs and the means to meet them,
coats and hats designed for special
service are added to the wardrobe.
Shown in the picture given here are
what are called the sport" coat and

There were few passengers aboard.
There were three fussy old English
maidens under the protection of a still
fussier old colonel. The quartet
greatly amused Elsa. Their mods were
abrupt, and they spoke in the most
formal manner. She was under grave
suspicion; in the first place, she was
travelling alone in the second place,
she was an american. At table there
was generally desultory conversation
and many barb of malice Elsa shot
from her bow. Figuratively, the colo

brist!ing with arrows instead of quilts.
Elsa could have shouted at times, for
the old war dog was perfectly obliv-

table German tourist, who shelled with
questions every man who wore brass
buttons, until there was some serious
talk of dropping him astern some day.

Bonnets and hats designed for the
midsummer wear of little maids when
they are '"all dressed up" are con.
trived to look as youthful as the small
wearers and to suggest the happy
springtime Of life In way irresistible
to mothers. A group of them pictured
here shows the materials and shapes
and the methods OF handling them so
clearly that written description
seems almost unnecessary.
Plain and figured crepe georgette,"
thin silks, nets, chiffon and lace, also
some sflk-straw braid, are used in
making the body of headwear for little
people. And many hats for children
can be successfully made by the
home milliner. The pfettiest ones
are those in which needlework-shir-
ring, fine tucks and plaitings-are fea-
tured, and they represent an outlay of
time and efficiency in sewing that Is
much more expensive than the mate
rails necessary.
The little bonnet at the top OF the
picture is one of those which can be
made at home. The frame is fight
buckramette shape, having the brim
covered with a bias strip of crepe
georgette or rather light silk stretched
over 1t. A wide strip of the
same silk is shirred In rows and
the shirring threads drawn up to
make the material fit the crown. When
the frame has been covered in this
way a frill of plated shadow lace a
little wider than the brim. Is sewed
