HER SIlDE---AND HIS
SHEDDING
. By ZOE BECkLEY

Like man who has told a story so often that he at last comes to believe 1t, Carter Brett, in his urgent need to make a scapegoat of David, finally convinced himself that David was guilty. The wreck of the collapsed factory told few facts The architect, Brett argued as he paced his floor in the night, was as likely to have been at fault as any one. Rose Brett managed deftly to keep this side pre- sented to her husbands view She had never quite forgiven David for escaping from her influence She dis liked David's wife more bitterly than ever She was resentful of the fact that Bretts first real administration of his own business affairs was cloud ed by this unfortunate disaster. She wished to be rid of the Temples and all the problems their coming to Colony Park had brought her.
 It was not surprising, therefore that the final meeting between Carter Brett and David Temple was a stormy one. Rose, sitting in the outer office, heard David say in a voice vibrant with emotion: Very well. this is the
  end then. Our association is over. If you had asked me to lend you every penny have in bank to tide you over. I'd have sold my very house to make the sum bigger. But to ask me to save you by bartering my reputation, by taking blame for a thing I never did-why, I'd as soon stick a knife into myself, owe myself and my wife as square a deal as I owe any one else.'
 "All right, my super-honorable young friend, have it your own way. Go it alone. I've given you every chance, as I see it. You know the alterna- tive,' said Brett, with a hard light in his eye.
 "Yes, I know it. I realize, of course, that to stay here would be useless. But before leave Colony Park | shall issue statement to the papers giv- ing the absolute truth. It is your word against mine. Good-hy, MT. Brett,' said David curtly, and left the office.
 It was not so simple matter, how ever, to leave the place that had been the stage of their life drama for near

Many women sigh for the time when the choice of feminine attire will be as strictly limited as the rule govern ing masculine raiment. No law of the Medes and Persians was more ob- durate than the modern tyrant good form" Man is allowed little license in choosing his clothes and we must admit that the fabrics allowed are cap able of wear which few feminine frivols could stand On the other hand, so much of the worlds industry hongs on lovely clothes for lovely woman-including the very growth of silk, wool, linen and cotton, on through the various stages of spinning, dyeing, manufacturing and final re- tailing by the yard or in ready-to- wear garments--that even the stock exchange would sl1iver should women take to austere dress and shut down on the inspiration of myriads of work : shers. great and small.
 Women represent 80 per cent of the buyers of everything from ammunition to garters, so l fear it will be some- time before those who control the destinies of human trade will allow us to wear tweeds in the morning and black cloth in the evening. We might as well keep on reveling in exquisite brocades. colored like the blue of an eastern night with the silver sheen of moonlight running in and out of the magic weave. Expensive? Yes, but think of the employment for the many hands which have made possible it's wonderful beauty. In spite of the horrors of war and its, effect the looms of the world have sent us-at least they have cent to the metropolitan centers--the most wonderful brocades in velvet and silk. These goods are now greatly reduced in price. The eff feet produced by even a small quantity of this material is entrancinglv lovely

ly two years-thrilling years of am bition, skyrocket success, love, doubt, discord, harmony, a deeper under standing high hope-and now failure. David moved about as in a dream, going through the motions of daily life with dead heart, winding up his business affairs, selling the equity in his handsome house.
 Ahi that was the hardest of all-- having to snatch from Cora the home in which she had scarcely tasted the joy of mistress-ship. Yet it was Cora who shed sunshine over the whole dark situation. Any one seeing her cheery face and sprightly skitterings as she dismantled her rooms would have sworn she was glad to be rid of all this highfalutin, living" as she herself kept bravely asserting.
 Her one real worry was David. For. as she constantly told him, she had never struck deep roots in the life of Colony Park. Give her old New York with it's devil-may- it's lovableness. it's much-for-little, it's sordid ideals, it's brilliant ambitions, it's bluff. it's friendliness, it's indiffer- ence, it's sincerity-all it's inconsist- ences, all it's charm.
 But David didn't look at 1t Cora's way David did not respond to the call of New York. He gloomed over their economical little apartment. He met Cora's S enthusiasms over it's con- venience with a moody silence that struck fear to her heart. She helped him furnish a modest office and get out stationery and announcements. She buoyed him up with optimism and many practical suggestions. She even laughingly suggested learning e11xs it,p 1n 1a fN be his secretary. But when she in- sisted more seriously upon this pro gramme of helpfulness David at last reused himself out of his lethargy and as Cora listened with anxious eager ness, unburdened his pent-up mind.

signed a letter or check at this time IT he wanted personally to send commit nication to anybody, if it was one of his close associates, it would probably be a pencil memorandum signed Edison. I seldom took down from Edison's dicta- ton, unless 1t was on some technical subject that I did not understand I was expected to clean up the correspondence with Edisons laconic comments as a guide as to the character of answer to make. It was a very common thing for Edison to write the words yes or mo-, and this would be all I had on which to base my answer. Edison marginalized documents extensively. He had a won derful ability in pointing out the weak points of an agreement on a balance sheet, all the while protesting he was no. lawyer or accountant; and his views were expressed in very few words, but in characteristic and emphatic manner.

London Fog Starts Cupid's Darts and Romance FOllOWS
By LADY MARY

London, November 1S.--The eccentricities of a London fog in war time have been amply demonstrated during this week, when one of the old-fashoned 'peasoup particular brand descended upon the metropolis and plotted out everybody and evrything most successfully. An amusing incident occurred at one of the theatres when the audience, pouring out from the brightly lighted auditorium, found itself plunged into an atmosphere that resem- bled nothing so much as 8 heavy black blanket. Cabs were impossible to pro- cure, motor omnibusses had ceased their journeys, and the streets were crowded with men and women in evening clothes who seemed to have totally lost their sense of direction.

effect of the border. In this gown the maximum of effect is produced by the minimum of brocade. The waist is made on light lining, which reaches to the end of the basque. To this is attached a drop skirt of blue silk made from the foundation of the old dress of chiffon. Pale pink or flesh color which may be made in the form of petticoat and used separately if fitted snugly around the hips. The brocaded basque may button on the left shoulder and under the arm or may be fastened down the back with button of, silver crochet or any antique design in silver The little yoke is made of blue chiffon, picot edged. Flesh col ored chiffon or net will also be pretty. The long sleeves of blue chiffon fit snug ly at the wrist and extend in points over the hand. These points may be bound with silver gauge ribbon. The full skirt is cut out of straight widths and a bor- der of brocade about four or five inches deep is turned up on the right side. This gown is extremely simple to make and if carried out in good color scheme is most becoming to youthful. slender fig ures. T. worn with flesh colored stockings and blue slippers the effect will be quite charming.
 ATTRACTIVE COSTUME
 Many of us have velvet dresses or suits only slightly worn. but too old-fashioned in style to appear worth considering, Such gown was the seal brown after noon frock illustrated. The old skirt wa opened, all the fullness pushed to the back and sides and a new panel of seal brown duvetyne inserted. The waist was cut off at the back at the waistline and finished around the edge with little cord of velvet. The front of the waist was cut away to show a waistcoat of duve- tyne. A fichue of ecrue net folded sur plice-wise across the front of the bust makes a becoming finish. Three tarnished gold buttons fasten the waistcoat, and an old fob was mounted on a seal brown grossgrain ribbon. A strip of brown fur made from an old neck piece covers the Joining of vest and waist and adds an at tractive touch. The fur is also used to finish the long sleeves of velvet A small piece of fur may be used on each side of the skirt panels. Broadcloth or ye- lour de laine may be substituted for duve tyne. This costume would be effective in navy blue with silver buttons.

Separating Rooster From His Crow

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 The latest fashion news from the poultry yard describes new style of nightcap for the rooster. Of course the rooster is not cnsulted as to whether he likes it or not, but he wears it un- der the mandate of the poultryman, who in turn is influenced by the more or less caustic remarks of his neigh bors. For while wearing the night cap the rooster is reparated from his crow. No longer can he perform his natural duty of signaling to the imme- diate poultry population.
