 The sports coat has come upon us with such rush this summer that I was quite startled and altogether charmed the other day when I behelds in one of the smartest and most exclusive shops on Fifth avenue. two gowns winch carried the most delightful little basque bole- ros, one in vivid rose just the color for lovely brunettes: the other in Copenhagen blue, just the shade for lovely blondes! And what of the girl with auburn hair? Copenhagen is her very own color.
 BOLERO BASQUES OF SILK
 I can foresee how lovely these little jackets would be made up in velvet. However, those I saw were of faille silk. You know the soft silk that somewhere carries a cord in the sleeve, which never interferes with it's suppleness. The rose basque was to be worn with a skirt of crisp white organdie. whose only trim ming was several rows of cording set in by hand. We cannot dwell on that idea. for few, If any, of us have organdie skirts left over. So I have mounted this jacket on once narrow skirt of white taffeta. The fullness Is brought about by two flounces of lace. If you have no lace to use in this manner. sub sttute net or Georgette crepe. Perhaps your skirt is already wide enough and needs only the addition of this gay little basque to bring 1t back to the joy of liv- ing in your wardrobe.
 HOW TO MAKE BASQUE
 With careful fitting this basque could be cut from an ordinary kimono pattern. A dart on either side running off to norh- ing gives a narrow waist line, and the underarin seam should be quite curbed. The basque finishes straight across the back and the fullness is held in trifle just above the waistline by a narrow belt about six inches long. finished around the edges with cord of silk This belt is about two inches wide and Is held in place by two self-covered button molds Down the front and around the edges the basque is finished with a self-covered cording,
 It is unlined and two small weights keep the points in front in place. The buttonholes are bound and close over small button molds covered with rose silk

BoLERO OF COPENHAGEN BLUE

The other illustration shows the basque of blue. I prefer this color when used
 with white, though 1t is lovely with very dark midnight blue or even navy. This basque may also be cut by kimono pattern. A little fullness at the waist in the back may be disposed of by holding 1t in with a short belt as described in the other basque, or it may be darted slightly.

were patched up a little. helped the old shoemaker on Central street carry in some leather supplies few days since. He told me that made me a free customer in the way of repairs I might need. I'll go and see him now"
 The shoemaker was true to his promise. Harry sat ill his stocking feet as the artisan began work on the shoes.
 The worker had found the sole of the shoe quite regular and ordinary. When he came to the other, however, it held fast and firm and he had to dig hard to loosen two thin plates of steel. He drew them out. Between them lay a little package, done up in oilskin.
 Whoever wore these shoes used this sole for a pocketbook," observed the cobbler, as he handed the oilskin packet to Harry.
 The latter unfolded it. Within rest ed note! or a check! No, certi- ficate of deposit on an Oregon bank for thirty thousand dollars!
 Harry knew enough of the history of the Rice family to read the oracle promptly. He uttered an excited yell Then, in his stocking feet, he made dash for nome.
 The agitated Mrs. Rice insisted on going straight to the local bank to be assured the certificate was good. There she left it for collection-"half to John and Mary" she directed.
 If we hadn't taken in the children, mother would never have comez nor the old shoes,' reasoned the happy Mary And, oh, John, see the grand fortune that has come to us for duty well performed!
