though overheating of American rooms
is the rule instead of the incident.
This trouble has been offset by the
new fashion which calls for warm

Il wise procedure first to find out how
these remarkably attractive new
clothes are made and then, if not able
to buy them at fountain-head, to look
over the evening gowns and gaudy ma
terials that one may possess and see
if one or two such robes cannot be
fashioned.
The appearance Of these two gowns
may be divided into two parts, the
medieval and the empire. They
swirl and slipk and reveal the figure,
and they glow with color.
Pictorial Gowns for the House.
A few of the most original indoor
gowns worn by individuals have
been imported from a famous studio
in Venice. Importers have searched
Italy for unique creations in fifteenth
century styles, and old Italian pictures
have been copied in richly colored vel
vets, furs and complex motifs of col
Ored crystals.
The addition of the warm jacket to
the indoor robe is a French concep-
ton because of the eternal chilliness
of their houses, but it has met with
eager approval on this side of the
water.
One indoor gown is of oxidized gray
net, covered with steel paillettes, and
it falls in a straight line from Shout
ders well on the floor, where it folds
about the feet front and back. There
is a girdle at the hips of immense
imitation rubies set in composition
that looks like old silver, with Il huge
crystal in front and long fringes that

ion, and on each shoulder is an i'm,

are interested in the economics of
dress have preached the loose tea

You know by personal experience
that wearing the skirt belonging to the

running the suit; and dressing for din

American life in the last six years, is
too expensive q practice, for it means
that ones evening gown suitable for

Clarice sighed. That was just like
Peter waiting upon events. He never
did have initiative.
At twenty-five Peter had entered the
employment of the Babbitt Electrical
company. It was a small concern and
being crowded out by more prosperous
rivals. However, Babbitt had an idea,
and he had put all his resources into
1t.
There was a certain process for
Cheapening CarbOns, on which a dozen
men had been working independently
for years. 1t was highly technical
affair and Rabbit had a score of trust
ed employees in his works busy upon
the scheme. But the hitch was soon
found. In order to bring it to perfec-
ton it was necessary to study all the
metallurgical writings of the modern
German scientists.
Now, German scientists are the only
men who pursue the minutiae of chem
ical Investigations for their theoretical
advantages. Perhaps ten men had de-

to it's practical application. Scattered
through German literature, Babbitt
knew for certain, were descriptions of
the new carbon process. These had to
be translated, brought together, ana
lyzed and reapplied. Peter had had Il
German mother. He knew the Ian
guage. He had some literary gift and
good education. And for year after
year he had pored over these books,
translating, pieCing together, until the
secret was within Rabbits grasp.
Then Rabbitts money gave out and
the whole thing was abandoned Bah
bitt had only one comfort. Nobody
else was likely to hit on the solution.
Nobody else had attacked the problem
from the same angle, and without this
careful spadeWork success was impOs-
sible.
And Peter, who might have taken his
geanings to any of the dozen com
petitors Of Rabbit, and made for
tune, was either too stupid or too hon
est, or probably both.

we expected" he said. 1--WE got a
weeks notice. And that's called a con-
cession. They generally don't give no
tice at all"
Clarice looked round the dingy fiat
and smOthered a sigh. Their four years
of married life had begun so happily,
and threatened to end-nOwhere.
Peter had dropped from a position
on a literary staff, at fifty dollars a
week, to a job as a semi-skilled work
man, at twenty-five. And their needs
and tastes were those of the sixty-dol-
lar people.
Il can't blame Cough & Co.," said
Peter THE day of the unapprenticed
man has gone. I'm about the only man
in the shop who knows the trade from
its foundations; but l wasn't appren-
ticed and l can't get union card.
And Cough & Co. are going to employ
only union labor. That's all, except
that they're the last of the big firms

day jobs in the foundries now"
You shan't." cried Clarice, finging
her arms about her husbands neck.
"Peter, dear last night dreamed that
you were all back at the old place,
working as you used to do. It's good
sign, dear"
Peter laughed mirthlessly. "NO
chance of that" he answered. "They

a block of Rabbits old place. Curl
Ously, he strOlled toward it.
He had heard that it had changed
hands; yet now, to his surprise, he saw
brand new sign, ''Babbitt & Co.." over
the dingy old doorway, and, stepping
forward to look, he was surprised to
see that the foundry was running
again, just as it used to do.
The wild hope came to him that
there might be a job there after all.
1t was not likely any of the old staff
remained; but Peter had to get some
thing; if they wanted only union men
he would go as night Waterman or pOr-
ter-anything. He walked up the
stairs and tapped at the door of the
private office.
AS nobody answered he walked in.
He heard hum of voices suddenly cut
short; he was conscious of ii stir and
hustle, and then he looked up in amaze
ment to see that things were just as
they had been years before. All the
old staff We're in their places. There
was old Jones the superintendent, and
the supervisor, Simpson, with little
CoSgrove, and Brown, and BaCkman.
And at the window, just where he used
to sit, was his own desk, vacant.
There was a hush of surprise, and
then in a moment everybody was on
their feet and running toward him. Old
Jones was wringing his hands hard
and shouting:
ITS Peter. It's Peter come back to
isl"
Peter stared in bewilderment at the
welcoming faces, the outstretched
hands. Simpson snatched up a sheet
of notepaper and held it in front of
him. That's how much we think of
YOU" he shouted. And Peter read:
IF Peter Lessard, formerly of 10
Scott street, will communicate with the
place of his former employment, he
may learn of something to his advan-
tage."
AS Peter laid it down Jones grasped
him by the arms. Don't say you're
going to stay with your present job"
he yelled. "Babbitt is willing to pay
you anything. He wants you, and he
says we've got to get you, no matter
at what price, because there may be
men with your brains, but there isn't
one with your brains and honesty. For
the Lords sake, Peter, open your
mouth and speak. How about it?'
"No, 1 haven't got a job" muttered
Peter.
"Then you're coming back to us?

know, it wasn't matter we could
make free inquiries about, with all
those wolves on the scent. What

mense imitation ruby to clasp the
front and back together. Over this,
purely for the sake of riOtous color, is
a long, full coat that might be a DOgeS
mantle, or ruby red chiffon velvet, the
same on both sides, and bordered with
dark gray fur.
Oriental Effect.
Another tea gown is oriental, with
full trousers of silver net that are
caught in at the ankles, a tunic of
gauze that is girdled with old silver,
an imitation turquoise, and long coat
of kings blue velvet lined with deep
pink satin and trimmed with ermine.
Still another indoor gown that has
been brought over by the designers is
of orange yellow chiffon, girdled high
at the waist with gold and pearls, with
a sweeping, imperial cape of yellow
and gold brocade, ending in a long
train; it is lined with pale blue velvet
and broad bands of black seal hold it
down on the shoulders.
The enthusiastic fashion for wear
ing indoor robes has brought about
the introduction of brilliant blOuses
that are worn to all indoor affairs and
which may be concocted to put in COM
bination with separate skirt for con-
slant usage at night in ones own
house. These blouses hang Imply
from the shoulders, they are usually
made of chiffon or panne velvet and
always in a gorgeous color. The belt
which is placed at the normal waist
line, is an extravagant affair of col
ored crystal or bullion or any other
bit of decoration that recalls the art
of other days.
There has been a dipping into old
Aztec designs for clothes worn in the
street and in the house, but the Ma
poleonic era is also productive of much
that is desired.
Typical of Blouse Styles.
One such blouse gives a good idea
of what all the others are. 1t is Of

thin yellow satin, and hangs in loose
folds to the hips, with the immense

The woman who is more interested
in her street clothes than those for

along with many other great design

and cutting them only two yards wide

new fashion as early as September,
but the Americans have gone on wear

with its full peplum, its immense

tlaring revers, and shawl collar that

The introduction of dull gold and

early nineteenth century street cos
tunes, make the resemblance to the

significant. 1t is now only n step to
