Rosamund glared, and Han, SEEKING
the happy chance, had already begun
to edge OH, with mumbled some
thing about duties and guests. People
had, in truth, begun to arrive and the
place was filling rapidly. The musi-
clans had begun to play; Flodie looked
in. with distressed face, and beck

the sleeve.
Jonas fired again. "Ain't never been

you ought to run down to our village
some time, miss, and git a mess o.
clans. We got some fust-c1ass Holsters

Rosamund turned the full glory OF
her gaze upon him. "Oh, yes," she said
sweetly, Il can easily believe that"
But alas for her irony! This indul-
gence had cost her her prey Hall was

Washing chamols Gloves.

1t is remarkable how nicely chamois
gloves come out if they are washed
properly with tepid water on the
hands. Use white soap and rub it on
plentifully, squeeze carefully and be
sure you rinse them so as to get out
all the dirt. Have the last water soapy.
Take off the hands and put gently in a
dry towel. Then place on the hands
again and, as it is difficult to get them
on wet, take a piece of clean white
cloth and rub each finger on and they
will go on with surprising ease.
Mold them to the hands and arms,
remove carefully and hang them over
the fire by safety pins, rubbing them
gently as they dry SO they will not get
stiff. If washed in this way they will
be soft and pliable and as good as
new. Be sure and mend before wash
ing.

Talk With Lansing.
DIsAvOWAL INSISTED UPON
Reparation For Americans Lost Also
Demanded-Evdence Sent To
6erIin-U. 9. Ready
To Decide.

Washington.-Con Conferences between
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing and between Secretary Lansing
and Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man Ambassador, brought the, situa.
ton growing out of German submarine
activities to the following status:
1. The German Ambassador has
been furnished with the evidence of
officers and survivors of the Arabic,
all agreeing that the liner was pro-
ceeding peacefully when torpedoed
without warning, and has been ad-
vised that the United States desires
disavowal of the attack and repara-
tion for the American lives lost.
2. The evidence will be sent by
Count Won Bernstorff to the Berlin
Foreign Office, to which it has not been
available before, and probably 10 days
will elapse before Berlin can be heard
from. In some quarters it is believed
possible that the Foreign Office, upon
examining the evidence, may, change
it's position and disavow the action Of
the submarine commander, who. II
was claimed in the last note, sunk
the liner because he thought she was
about to attack him.
8. The United States has all infor-
nation on the case as it now stands
at hand and is ready to decide upon its
course, but action may be delayed
until Count Won Bernstorff has had
time to exchange communications with
his Government.
4. While the United States will not
consent to arbitration of a principle
or of question involving the safety
OF American lives, it has accepted Ger
many's assurances that peaceful liners
will not be torpedoed without warn
ing, and if Germany desires to arbi-
trate the amount of indemnity, the
question of whether the Arabic actual
ly attempted to attack the submarine
or whether her actions justified the
submarine commander in believing the
was about to be attacked, that prob
ably would be agreed to.
The President and Secretary Lam
sing We're in conference for nearly an
hour, and later Count Won Bernstorff
spent half an hour with the Secretary.
No announcements were made. It
was said in well-informed circles. how
ever, that although the American Gov
ernment was not pleased with the
Arabic note, the situation was con-
sidered far from hopeless.

laundered. 1t fastens with buttonholes
over small, fiat, bone buttons, which
are sewed to the dress. Like nearly
all the new models this dress fastens
down the front with little buttons and
loops. The pockets are machine
stitched to the dress and are practical.
The same model is made in many col
or contrasts-pink pockets, collar
and cuffs on white dress, tan on
brown, blue on tan, etc.
Old-fashioned needlework, in dec
orative stitches, is an elegance which
those who know how, may add to chill
dren's dresses. Nothing is prettier or
more appropriate. Pockets are quite
the vogue and are an item of much
interest and pleasure to the small peo-
pie who possess them.

1t is the part of wisdom to make
the most of the many passing fads in
little accessories of dress that come
and go every few weeks. They vary
the monotony of the day in and day
OUT tailored suits which it is cenven-
lent for the busy woman of the day
to live in.
: Given one good tailored gown, plain,
and in dark color, the resourceful maid
or matron manages to ring all sorts
of changes in her appearance by
means of different blouses and dress
accessories. Neckwear, millinery and
girdles are the means by which she
makes simply a background of her un-
obtrusive suit.
These are especially important to the
business girl or woman who may not
give much time to dress. By means of
them she manages a toilette suitable to
the cafe dinner or the theater or aft
ernoon tea or any of the pleasures for
which little gayety in attire is
needed.
In the picture shown, a pretty neck
ruff in white, plated chiffon with ties
of black velvet ribbon, is in keeping
with small turban developed also
in black and white. Worn with a
thin crepe blouse, in any of the fash
ionable light colors, this run and tur-
ban make an outfit not to be surpassed

CHAPTER XII.

Guests were coming in punches,
now, and kept Hall so busy for half
an hour that he had no time to plan
how he should escape from the other
two women with whom he must in
evitably have matrimonial converse
So far, he was not particularly anxious.
Rosamund he thought he could dis

ton he feared Ettle.- He would trust,
at any rate, to the inspiration of the
moment. With four millions and Flo
die-he didn't much care what they
thought of him. 1t was caddish trick,
perhaps, but-four millions! The end
would have to justify the means.
So, handsome and elegant and popu-
lar, witty and well-bred, he laughed
and gossiped with his guests, started

Flodie, merely bowed to and patron
lied by most of the guests. had discov-
cred an unexpected friend in Mr.. Dore-
mus. He, finding her his only ac-
quaintance, had stuck to her like q
burr. Flodie liked him. At one-step
he could not cut much of figure, but
seated in the Office with Flodie, where
she could keep an eye on Alfred and
the caterer, it was not long before she
felt impelled to make him her ally.
With all his elephantine wit and his
manners of the old school, Mr.. Dore-
mus treated her in a jocose, fatherly,
indulgent way that inspired her trust.
And, that evening, Flodie had dire
need of coadiutor. She began to
The midland journal., 1915-09-17

give him her confidence, bit by bit,
watching his face more than listening
to his replies, and decided that she
could trust him; he had sympathy and
tact. When, at last, after many inter
ruptions, her story was told, Mr.. Dore-
mus took of his misty glasses and
wiped them.

Flodie got up slowly, and looked into
his kind blue eyes. Would you mind
coming into the studio for few min
utes?" she asked ''I'm so afraid we
may be interrupted or overheard. I
want to tell you something"
Mr.. Doremus offered her his arm,
and escorted her into the studio.
BY eleven o'clock both Carolyn Dali
lys and Mrs. Royalton had come. They
had, in fact, arrived together, having
shared Mrs. Royalton's limousine. This
preconcerted action was caused less
by friendship than a mutual suspicion.
The two ladies dared not trust each
other out of sight, and each for fear
the other might gain an advantage,
sacrificed her own desire to be be-
forehand with her plans.

For little lads and lassies of six
years, or under, suits and dresses for
ordinary wear, are made of cotton or
linen materials, the year round. This
is in accordance with the increasing
favor for wash fabrics in all apparel,
which grows, along with the advance
in cleanliness and knowledge of sani-
tation, throughout the country. In
the spring the young people are pro-
vided with lightweight cotton or linen
clothing, and in the fall the heavy
weaves are relied upon to furnish
suits and dresses.
This adoption Of wash dresses has
caused the numerous aprons formerly
needed to disappear from the little
girls wardrobe and has eliminated a
lot Of extra work. Very thick and
heavy coats. leggings and other outer
garments are provided for the little
ones outdoor wear, but for indoors
the mother guards against having her
children too heavily clothed for COM
fort in the schoolroom or home kept
sufficiently warm.
Designs for wash dresses are only
successful when they allow easy laun-
dering. Two new and pretty models
are shown here made Of heavy linen
or cotton rep, which comes in many
attractive and stable colors. At the
right, a dress Is shown in dark blue
linen with plain collar and cuffs in
white. A full-front panel is shocked
with white thread at each side of
the front opening. It fastens with
small, fiat pearl buttons and loops of
fine cord.
The dress hangs straight from the
shoulders and is finished with three
inch hem. The sleeves are straight
and gathered into the cuffs which turn
back. They are cut three-quarter
length.
At the left dress in brown rep is
shown with collar, cuffs and pockets
in white linen. There is belt which
can be detached when the dress is
The midland journal., 1915-09-17

for style or good taste. The blouse
has three-quarterlength sleeves to
which wide lace cuffs are added by
way of charming touch of elegance
for the occasion.
But when the revels are ended, the
donning of the coat, dark, plain and
trim, tones down the costume to the
level of the quiet required for street
wear.
One-piece frocks worn under long
and comfortably warm topcoats, will
help make it easy to dress for day
that requires variety in the toilette
without allowing time for changes.
But they are only rivals of the we'll
tailored suit, which cannot be outdone
in usefulness or style.

Yellow Bridal Wells.

The modern bride has much to be
thankful for, in that she does not have
to follow the example of the ancient
Greek and Roman maidens, who had
to wear yellow bridal wells, according
to a writer in Gas Logic. Brides are
usually little pale unless they resort
to artificial coloring, and yellow veil
would not be so universally becoming
and softening as the white halo is to-
day The yellow veil is still worn by
