A very practical coat for general
wear is made of Bolivia CLOTH which
is especially effective in the rich, warm
colors that are destined to prevail dur
ing the coming winter. In burgundy,
rhododendron, prune, taupe ard castor
this cloth seems suited to the colors,
and this is true of duvetyn and broad
cloth also.
The coat pictured manages the new
style features of the season very clev-
erly. 1t sets closer to the figure about
the body than the passing style. The
skirt has a moderate flare and reaches
to within six inches of the bottom of
the skirt at the front, frightening a
little toward the back. In some of
the new models there is a much great
er difference in the length of the front
and back of the coat. The sleeves are
plain, with deep cuffs, and the wide
turnover collar has velvet inlay.
This is the universal collar, in shape,
and it buttons up about the neck in
q way to defy the coolest weather. The
model hangs straight at the front, fas-
tening a little to one side with large
buttons.

CHAPTER TX.
For King and Country


Captain Redmond was the first to
break the ensuing silence.
Good Godl Then it's come at lastw
he cried in a ringing voice.
"And the feet What of the English
feet?" Ethel Willoughby exclaimed, as
her quick mind turned inevitably to
that most vital factor of Britain's de-
Tense 1t was pure patriotism that
prompted her question For the mo-
ment all thought of Henry Streetman
and his constant importuning vanished
completely from her reckoning.
Sir George swept the little company
with a rapid glance.
you are all practically members OF
my family-at least l regard you as
SUCH" he said. Redmond, you are an
officer in his majesty's service-what
l say is in absolute confidence"
Larry stood stifiy at attention.
"Of course, Sir George he an
swered.
Then Sir George told them what
Henry Streetman would have given
his soul to know.
"Winston Churchill went to Ports
iuOulu lDlS Inc DIlllSil nttt
sailed this afternoon under sealed or
ders and Churchill has offered his
resignation as first lord of the admi-
rally"
At that terse statement Ethel VIII
loughby sank slowly upon a chair. In
their excitement the others did not no
tice her agitation. Nor could they have
interpreted 1t had they OWNED it.
Something in the manner of an inspira
ton had come to her-a scheme, plot
a stroke of genius perhaps At al
events, she saw in a flash how SHE
might yet serve her country in a man
ner that is granted to few women-ol
even men.
Meanwhile Captain Redmond pom
dered upon Winston Churchilrs pc
culiar action.
But why, Sir George-why? h'
asked
Because he had no authority from
parliament to give such orders. L

But she would not be put down so
easily.

A dress and coat, both made by
home dressmaker for little miss of
ten or thereabout, are worth notice
for their simplicity and good style.
The dress is of pink chambray, but
may be developed In plain, striped or
plaid ginghams, In linen, or in the
heavier cotton goods, with equal sue
cess. 1t is cut with a circular skirt
set to a plain bodice which is large
enough to admit of its being gathered
in a little about the waistline. The
sleeves may be cut elbow length or
even longe>.
Where the skirt is set on to the
waist narrow beading conceals the
seam, and velvet ribbon run through 1t
serves to hold the fullness of the body
to place. The neck is rounded out,
front and back, and set on to a yoke
Of embroidered organdie. An organdie
edging is used to make 1t, and ruffles
of ii are set in the sleeves. The dress
fastens at the back with small pearl
buttons

The cuff is merely wide band Of
the material trimmed into a rounded
tab at one end. The tab is fastened
down under a button made of a mold
covered with the cloth. There are
points of moderate size at each side
that carry out the same idea, having
overlapping tabs decorated with a but
ton.
All seams are overlapped and ma
chine-stitched down. The waistline, as
indicated by the seams in the back of
the body, is low. At the termination
of these seams a tab is set on to the
coat with a large button by way of
finish. This model is excellent for a
driving coat, and cannot be improved
upon as a general utility garment.

"Oh. it's everything-everythingw
she told him with a dry sob.
81 should never have gone away; or
having gone, should never have come
back-to make you suffer like this" he
said with bitter self-reproach. 1t hurt

emotions. "There, there. my dear!

conviction of man who would always
do right. I'VE love each other too
much to be more-or less-than the
best of friends"
From the hall outside, voices came
to their ears And Ethel had scarcely
dried her tears before their friends
had returned to claim them for the din
ner party.
Great Scottw Guy Falconer ex-
claimed as he came upon them. "Still
Ginning, you two? You never talk to
me as long as thatr he told Georgy
Wagstaff with mild reproach.
You're not so interesting as Cap
tain Redmond" she retorted with the
cruelty of insolent eighteen.
"Well, admitting that" Guy said, for
he never plunged voluntarily into an
argument with Georgy, admitting
that, I've seats for the Palace and
we've telephoned to Richmond for a

"Oh, Ethelr Georgy cried in obvious
disappointment. And "Oh. Ethel Don't
spoil the partyr Mrs. Falconer urged.
"Come on. Larryw said Guy. by
George, you do look glum-just the
same as l did when Georgy first re-
fused me. Now I've got used to it."
While they were trying to persuade
Ethel TO join them, Sir George Wag-
staff entered the room. He had heard
their voices as he was passing through
the hall on his return from his hurried
visit TO the admiralty. And since he
had news that he knew would prove
of great interest to them he had
stopped on his way to his own quar-
tiers.

sight of the returned wanderer.

The plain coat of broadcloth may
be made also in other materials Of
like weight. 1t has long coat sleeves
and a deep cape collar. Silk braid or
narrow, fine cluny lace makes pretty
finish for the collar. This is a coat
for autumn wear. Those for winter
now displayed for little misses are Of
velvet, plush, Bolivia, and other heavy
cloths. They are made with high turn
over collars. and often trimmed with
narrow bands Of fur. Numbers of them
are double-breasted, and practically all
of them are straight hanging, reaching
to the bottom of the dress.
Even in heavy materials for winter
wear the little miss's coat is not too
difficult for the home dressmaker 10

reeled back as far as the edge of the
