Electric Fact and Fancy.

The radioactive mind of Charles P.

mantle excursions dealing in a Flam-

of electricity. He sees ahead of the
present development of lighting sys-
TENS and power plants an evolution
sufficiently wonderful without a
startling innovation. Here, for in

devices for destroying the monopoly
that night has held in the absence Of
the sun. The moving picture is to

FASHIONABLE COAT FOR LITTLE MAID.

They have added coiffures with loops
of hair to other high and stately styles,
and are showing others with small
puffs and several short curls pinned
at the crown of the head in the back,
for those who like a lower hairdress.
Among high coifeures there is one
design in which a band of waved hair
Is wound about the head like wide
band of ribbon, near the forehead. 1t
allows a few orderly waves and ring
lets to escape about the face, and the
back hair is arranged in puffs at the
top of the crown. This is an unusual
and very finished-looking hairdress.
A similar coiffure is shown in the
picture. In this design all the hair
is waved and the front hair is combed
back over a foundation which raises 1t
at the top Of the head. At the back
cluster of curls is pinned below the
crown and q band of waved hair Is
brought across above the nape of the
neck. 1t will be seen that ornamental
pins are an essential part of this Golf
fure-they finish and support it.
The coiffure at the left is much sim

After reviewing coats made for the
small girl it seems that they range
through as great a variety Of mate
rails, and almost as great variety
Of styles, as coats for grown-ups. All
the soft, woolly goods, several fur
fabrics and plushes. velvet in various
colors, and all-fur coats promise a
season Of rich and comfortable out
door wear for the little miss.
1t is a fad of the season to have
hat or bonnet and a tiny muff made
Of the same material as the coat.
From top to toe almost everything
small ladies wear is of one kind of
cloth. For trimming, narrow landings
of the shorthaired and least costly
furs are used. Shocking and shirring
play important roles in making coats
Of wool velours, Bolivia and similar
cloths, and they are at their best on
velvet. But coats of fur-fabrics or
plush, like that shown in the picture,
must be made on the plainest lines.
All-fur coats of white rabbit with
caps and muffs to match make the
most captivating sets imaginable.

CHAPTER I
DOOM.

DOOH,
"Then I'm to understand there's no
hope for me?"
I'm afraid not -" Greyerson said
reluctantly, sympathy in his eyes.
"None whatever" The verdict was
thus brusquely emphasized by HART,
one of the two consulting specialists.
Having spoken, he glanced at his
watch, then at the face OF his col
league, Bushnell, who contented hlm-
self with a tolerant waggle of his
head apparently meant to imply that
the subject of their deliberations
really must be reasonable.
Whitaker looked quickly from one
to the other of his three judges,
acuteIy sensitive to the dread signl-
ficance to be detected in the expression
of each.
Failing to extract the least glimmer-
ing of hope from the attitude OF any
one of them, he drew a long breath,
unconsciously bracing himself in his
chair.

Attacks" said Bushnell, heavily,
srecurrent at intervals constantly

than it's predecessor"
Evidently Bushnell considered the
last word his prerogative.
There was brief uneasy silence in
the gloomy consulting room. Then
Whitaker rose.
"Well, how long will you give meT'
he asked in q strained voice.
"Six months" said Greyerson mis-
erably avoiding his eye.
Three" Hartt corrected jerkily.
Perhaps. :" The proprietor of the
last word stroked his chin with a con-
templative air.
Thanks" said Whitaker, without
irony. He stood for an instant with
his head bowed in thought. What a
damned outrage" he observed thought
fully. And suddenly he turned and
flung out of the room.
Greyerson jumped to follow him, but
paused as he heard the crash Of the
street door. He turned with twitch-
ing, apologetic smile.
