TOO oUTsPoKEN ON STAND
Testimony of Jacob Riis Won Verdict
for the Right, Though 1t Made,
Him the Goat"

The late Jacob A. Riis was a good
story-teller, but there was one story
that he used to tell to his friends
with especial glee, even though he was
the goat" of it.
It seems that soon after he took up
his residence or Long island he de-
cided to build a house. He went to
an Austrian, whom he had known in
the days when he was poor and friend
less, and who had since prospered.
Riis asked for a loan on mortgage.
Riis' friend insisted that the money
should be regarded rs a gift. Riis
would not consent, and the matter
eventually was left as a loan (of which
no written record was made), which
was to be paid back at the borrowers
convenience.
Years passed." Riis used to add,
"and somehow l never had the money
to pay my friend. Then | heard he
was i'll, and went to see him. 1 found
that he had become estranged from
his family, and had many talks with
him regarding his expressed desire to
leave his property to distant relatives
in Austria. incidentally, he again told
me that his loan to me was o to be
repaid. Eventually he made a will,
in which the bulk of his estate was
given to the people in Austria.
well, my old friend died, and, Of
course, the family contested the will,
alleging that the testator was of un.
sound mind. The Austrian crowd
learned of my intimacy with him and
of the fact that had seen him often
toward the end of his life, and / was
called as a witness at the hearing
of the suit to upset the will. l took
the stand and told as fully and as
frankly as l knew how of my relations
with the dead man and of the talks |
had had with him, making it clear that
he was sound in mind If not in body,
and knew what he was doing when he
left his money outside the immediate
family. Incidentally, i n talking of my
old friend, l told the whole story OF
the loan of years before.
"And would you believe it," Riis al
ways finished with a chuckle, when
those Austrians won their suit and got
possession of that estate, the very first
thing they did was to demand from
me payment of that ~unrecorded loan
And, by golly, l paid it, tool"

A GROUP of beautiful hats includes
xAthree ostrich-trimmed shapes,
such as women of fashion delight in
for those occasions on which the hat
is worn. At the club luncheon, at
five o'clock tea, at the afternoon recep-
ton, in the box party and for calling,
the hat is the dominant feature of the
toilet and must play its leading part
or reduce all the other apparel to it's
own level. Women are right in giving
much time and study to the matter.
Among the newest and most capti-
waiting hats are those with wide brims,
made of velvet. One of these is shown
in the picture having a brim much
wider at the left side than at the right.
The brim is covered smoothly with
velvet, and flares upward very gently
at the wide portion. The crown is
soft at the top, having the sides en-
circled by a smooth collar of velvet.
A sash of soft satin ribbon is tied
about it, finished with two short loops
at the front.
At the side, a short, very wide plume
is fastened to the underbrim with q

small fiat bow of ribbon like that
around the crown. 1t curls up oveI
the brim edge and rests on the upper
brim.
Just above is a pretty felt hat in q
light color. The facing of black velvet
forms the narrow binding at the edge OF
the brim. A stiff collar Of velvet
stands up about the crown. Between
this collar and the crown four short
ostrich tips are mounted, no two OF
them in just the anne tanner.
A hat of gold lace with narrow, flat
brim and low crown is daringly
trimmed with a long straight ostrich
quill in white, and a soft black plume,
There is a twist Of velvet at the base
of the crown. The tall quill and the
plume both spring from the front OF
the hat, the quill sweeping upward and
the plume falling backward over the
brim. Hats of silver lace, with 70.
settles made of ostrich fiues in which
a rose is set, placed fiat on the brim
at intervals, are about the same shape
as the hat of gold lace just described.

CHAPTER ill-ContInued.

Suddenly SHADES ayes lighted with
the fire of decision. His mouth be-
came a firm, straight line of deter
mination. There was something i'm
placable and grim in his very attitude
as the resolve to win Katherine Strick-
land became fixed in his mind. He
longed to hurry after her-to tell her
of his decision to fight, If not with,
then for her. He was eager to show
her Just how much they two together
could make out Of life, a big, fine fight
for position and power.
Even the thought of being governor
was left in the distance as plan after
plan raced through his mind, of greater
conquests and bigger achievements,
possible only with a m like Kath-
crime Strickland for his wife. So abb
sorbed and intense were his thoughts
of the future with her for the moment
he forgot completely the woman who
for 80 years had kept her place as his
wife. In all his dealings he had never
considered obstacles, except to sweep
them from his path. As he remem-
bered the present and Mary, he never
hesitated or faltered from his newly
made resolution.
Mary could go 1t alone. He would
see that she had everything that
money could buy. He would make her
comfortable and take care of her. That
she should be further considered never
entered his mind. Always ruthless In
his methods, he was equally cruel ever
when the obstacle to his advancement
was a fragile little who had
given him the best of her love and
years and who would gladly have laid
down her life to ave his.
It was not as If a sudden flame Of
intensive, overwhelming love for Kath
crime Strickland had surged through
his heart. 1t was nothing as decent
or as fine or as blameless as that. His
whole attitude toward the girl waf
n of cold-blooded acquisition. He
had determined to have her just as he
had determined only last week to out
bid every other nan at the rug auc
ton. He wanted her to take a place
in his life because he knew what hel
value would be to him. He wanted hel
beauty, her brain, her savoir faire, al
so many stepping stones by which tt
mount higher and higher in the affairs
Of the state and the nation.
In spite of the fact that he criticized
his wife's lack of social graces, he
was wise enough to know that he wal
far from a finished product himself
In spite of himself, traces of the par
venu occasionally showed through the
veneer of bluff and arrogance. With
wife like Katherine he would soor
come to know all the fine points of the
social game. A wife like Katherine
would up a multitude of his lit
tie sins of commission and omission.

CHAPTER ~.

Slade wanted Katherine Strickland
for his wife much the same as he
would have desired a wealthy, clever,
influential man for a partner. 1t was
to be a union of ambition. There wal
no tenderness in his thoughts of her.
He was actuated purely and simply by
the lust for power and the greed of
glory. All the softer, better things in
the mans nature were swamped by
this torrent of craving for worldly sue
cess that was sweeping him on to COM
init the most dastardly act In his long
career Of trampling over the heads
and hearts of adversaries and oppo-
nents.
Even when he was a boy Dan Slade
had always set his teeth at "You can't
do It," or 1T can't be DONE" The very
difficulty Of a thing strengthened his
determination to do. All his life long
his success had been punctuated by
the ruin Of other men. He had not
advanced SO far without pushing other
men back. Now that a woman instead
Of a nan stood in the way, the result

quieter, more merciful, but the answer
would be the same. Mary's sterling
worth, her long years of devotion and
sweet tenderness counted for nothing
once he became convinced that Mary's
~dowdiness, her standpat policy and her
arrested development were stop-gaps
In his W opportunity for progress
sion. He ignored the fact that the lit
tie ~brown-eyed, patient woman was as
much a part Of him as we're his eye
or his arms or any other very essen.
tial part of his being.
1t vas at just this point in SHADES
pitiless reasoning hat Mary, peering
over the baluster and seeing him
alone, hurried down the stairs.
Thank goodness, they've gone" she
declared as she came into the room
Then seeing the numerous side lights
burning She FASTENED to turn one
after the other down to a glimmer
'I'm so glad you're not going out" she
went on, coming oyer to him and rub
bling her cheek against his sleeve. The
little movement was a patheticaIly
mute appeal for some caress. "Whatd

COUTURE which is always "in,"
n a staple style in hair dressing, and
a second one, which is typical of the
newest vogue, are pictured here to-
gether. In the first one a mode of
dressing the hair is shown, which, with
very little variation, has been used for
many years. In the second, an idea
quite unfamiliar is set forth for what
it Is worth, and 1t remains to be seen
with what success it bids for favor.
The middle part should not be adopt
ed by any oma unless she is a great
beauty, who can carry off, anything,
without a bit of experimenting. There
are a few types that it is becoming
to. 1t happens nearly always that they
are women with very abundant hair.
In the couture pictured the hair is
waved (but not "marcelled") in loose
but regular waves at the front and
across the back. The hair on the
crown is not waved. This style Is not
at all difficult to dress. The waving
may be done with the curling iron, or,
better still, On heavy wire hairpins or
Curriers'" or with kid rollers.
The unwaved hair and the back hair
Is combed up to the top of the crown,
where it is arranged in a smooth twist
with ends pinned under. 1t will stay
in place if it is first tied at the top
Of the crown with a short piece of
shoelace or tape.
The front hair is parted and combed
down at each side as far as the tenn

pies. Here it is turned back and
brought to the coil at the back. where
1t is pinned in. The ends of the side
hair are twisted lightly into a coil and
arranged in a short loop of hair at
each side of the middle twist. Small
shell pins look well and are in keep
ing with this neat and conservative
hair dress.
If a hair net car be adjusted so that
it can hardly be seen it will keep gray
or white hair, which Is inclined to be
wiry. in place and preserve the neat.
ness which is essential to this couture.
A conservative example of the new
casque couture, in which the hair Is
marcelled in very regular waves and
combed back off the face, is shown in
the second picture. In the extremes of
this style the ears are uncovered, the
hair drawn back off the forehead and
combed up to the top of the head.
There are several arrangements of the
back hair, the favorite being a long.
soft French twist, considerably fuller
and higher than that shown here.
The forehead, in these new coiffures,
Is innocent of curis and quite bare.
This proves SO trying to the majority
of women that they have softened the
line OF hair about the face by bringing
1t down in the middle of the forehead
In a dip" and combing the locks in
front OF the ears back over the top of
the cara as shown in the picture.
