materials are manufactured in all the
fashionable colors and in white, and
make as smart coats as much more
costly and less durable stuffs.
The coat pictured is a good example
of cotton corduroy in a practical and
stylish garment. There is nothing in
the way of decoration on it except ma
chine stitching, which outlines the big
patch pockets and the collar, cuffs
and belt, as well as the front edges
and hem at the bottom. 1t is pro-
vided with a high collar which she
may or may not wear buttoned close up
under the chin, now that the athletic
girl goes in for protecting her complex
ion against the sun. The coat fastens
with bone buttons and buttonholes.
A pretty coat made in the same way
except at the neck has an adjustable

How London Grew.

Britain's great empire has grown
lust as the great city of London grew.
"You ride on a bus from Hampstead
to the Strand, and you pass at least
four High streets, each once the main
thoroughfare of a former village"
says Samuel p Orth in the Imperial
Impulse. London is only fortuitous
collection of villages. 1t was never
planned, it could not be planned. 1t
has no community of interest save
trade. 1t was never governed as a
municipality.
For years each parish had its own
government; today it is governed by
a county council. 1t is an amorphous
aggregation of novels, shops and pal
aces, with no limits or plan to its
spreading.
Like terrible Brobdingnagian
ameba, it pushes its tentacles hither
and thither prompted only by the in
stinct for food"

collar. This model is in delft blue cor
duroy and it's collar is in the form of
broad scarf of the material, which
can be fastened to the neck at the
front. 1t is worn like a fur scarf,
brought around the throat. with ends
crossing Mt the back and brought to
the front again. Here they are knotted
or allowed to hang straight to the
waiStline.
White buttons look we'll on all the
colors shown in cotton corduroy, but
there are white buttons, in several odd
unusual shapes, barred with narrow
stripes in the same colors as are shown
in cotton fabrics.
All the feminine world is running
after stripes, and those who weave
hats of straw have governed them
selves accordingly. Wide-brimmed sun
hats and midsummer sailors are of
fered in stripes ranging from quiet
black and white to the most vivid of
orange, green, red and blue contrasts.
For street and sports wear these hats
with woven-in stripes offer more in the
way of distinction than fabric hats,
and as a rule they are more expen-
sive.
Fashion makes much of the way in

Small ThinqS.

AS with music, so with poetry it is
the little things that pay. Many an
Indifferent composer has made more
out of single song or waltz than Sir
Edward Elgar has made out Of "The
Dream OF Gerontius," and many a poet
has received more for brief lyric
than he can hope to get for work that
may have cost him months or years of
labor. Indeed, a volume of verse often
makes less for the author than he re-
ceives for three or four pieces printed
in magazines or newspapers. 1t is the
same with less exalted matters. The
inventor of a patent collar stud or boot
protector will make more money than
the inventor of something that really
benefits the human race. The little
thing that every one wants is the thing
that pays, whether in trade or art.
Heroic accomplishment has the heroic
reward of starvation.

Where He Would Be Useful.

After many efforts the aspiring
singer had managed TO get permission
to give trial performance at the local
music hall. The house was full. and
he warbled in his sweetest tones.
Everything seemed roseate until sud-
denly hoarse voice came from the
side of the stage.
Here, you come off !" ordered the
stage manager. Cant you see you're
emptying the house?"
Ell don't seem to be success,
then?' said the amateur. timorously.
Success! Huh !" snorted the man
ager, angrily. "At clearing them out
you're the most successful chap ever
met. Now, for goodness sake, go and
slng outside and drive EN- In again I"

Smith? White is, after all, the most
becoming. But one must have good
skin. Mine is still quite smooth. No
one would think 1 had been a year in
this dreadful place. would they?'

Sylvia Arnaud considered herself for
moment longer in the glass. Then her
eyes wandered past her own reflection

The contrast with her own radiant
femininity pleased her.

said quizzicatly. "And now am

For the Visitors.

In full view of the crowd in very
busy street two venders of berries
were busy with piles of thin wooden
boxes, each scantily filled with imma-
ture fruit. Emptying box after box,
the vendors deftly punched up one
layer of the box bottom to a sharp
angle pointed i'll the middle, propped
it there with paper and then refilled
The receptacle, taking great care that

set in and deepened the eternal shad-
ows to concealing darkness. Captain
Arnaud entered the unguarded door
way. He was evidently on a serious
errand. for he did not appear again.
Instead, some ten minutes later a man
in ragged, ill-ftting clothes lurched out
on to the pavement and SUNK on
deeper into the labyrinth of alleys and
lightless passages. He wore a broad
brimmed hat pulled we'll over his eyes
and a bunch of roses stuck in his half
open coat. He chose narrow passage
running between two empty houses,
and felt his way over the uneven flags,
his hands touching either wall to keep
him from stumbling. The music sound

twisted into an open square. dimly

region behind him was bizarre and
brutal. Red lanterns had been strung

another and their soft light fell on a
scene which might have been painted
from a wild dream Of Montmartre. The
place was full. Long tables built

from that moment onward the noisy

deadly duologue. Richard Nameless

had worn the roses.

"If you say my name again here I

answer. what are you doing in that

to be dead than that you should drag

from Arnaud's face. He leaned for

some sudden flash of intention. "You
have seen herr"

Yes"
Arnaud burst out laughing. He
turned and, catching the Jewess in his
arms, kissed her savagely. Good
night-good night. This gentleman is
sending me home, petite. He doesn't
approve of either of u.s." He laughed
and flung her from him so that she
stumbled against the table. That's
my answer, Farquhar," he said coolly.
Good night
Someone touched Farquhar on the
shoulder. He turned.
''Ah. you, Goetzr'

That's to be regretted. Come. we

as she sang, curved in a subtle line of
mockery. A little to her right a Chas-

quivered under his merciless hands. A
Zouave, scarce able to keep his feet,
reeled backward and forward, banging
out the rhythm of a pair Of cymbalS-

They rose like one man, chasseurs,
zouaves, few French legionaries. and
shouted with their empty glasses held
high above their heads. While they
sang the woman was silent, her sleek
head with it's massive coils Of smooth,
black hair bent so that her face was
hidden in shadow. The man with the
roses crossed the Intervening space and
stood opposite her. She turned slightly
and looked at him.

He nodded.

sharp, suspicious questioning

She bent and kissed him on either
cheek.
They had sung the refrain for the
third time. The Zouave had collapsed
in a corner, and the self-appointed ac-
companist remembered apparently that
he was thirsty. He got up, and with
the last tinkle of the piano the singing
died into a min@ed hiccuping and
laughter.
Then the girl on the table sprang I'D.
