Among the new dress materials,
plaid silks and plaid woolens are quite
prominent. In developing most frocks
the plaid is frequently combined with
a plain material matching either the
background or the stripe in the plaid,
as in the model illustrated here. This
dress shows the popular surplice over
blouse and loose panel at the front
and back Of the skirt. The overblouse
is finished at the side with a large
square buckle, and the tiny surplice
vest of fine Georgette crepe is picot
edged. The band OF fur on the skirt
is placed at the sides only instead of
all around, illustrating one of the
newest arrangements which is worthy
Of note.
Plaid silks are in demand not only
for dresses but for separate waists.
The familiar Scotch plaids are very
attractive worn with dark suit skirts,
and many other charming plaid COM
binations are TO be seen. Silks with
Persian and oriental designs are also
being used for separate waists. This
idea has probably sprung up with the
popularity of the Indian shawl, which
has been revived and used largely to
trim dresses and hats. Silks initiating
the designs used in these rare old
shawls have been manufactured for
this special purpose.
So strong is the Indian influence
that the new dress trimmings show
these colors and designs in embroider-
ed landings and motifs. The rich
colorings are wonderfully attractive
and heighten the beauty of many a
dress. Wool and silk floss embroid-

CHAPTER XIV.

X. spent all Of the evening Of that
day with Wilson. He was not to 20 for
Joe until eleven o'clock. The injured
mans vitality was standing him In
good stead. He had asked for Sidney
and she was at his bedside. Doctor Ed
had gone.
X. found Sidney In the room. not sit
ting. but standing by the window. The
sick man was doing. One shaded light
burned In far corner. She turned
slowly and met his eyes. II seemed to
X. that she looked at him as II she had
never really seen him before, and he
was right. ReadJustments are always
difficult.
Sidney was trying TO reconcile the X.

X, no longer obscure. although still
shabby. whose height had suddenly be-

quiet Of infinite power.
She was suddenly shy OF him. as he

At four o'clock that morning X. got
back from seeing Joe of. The trip
had been without accident.
Over Sldney's letter Joe had shed a
shameface1 tear or two. And during
the night ride, with X. pushing the car
to the utmost, he had felt that the
boy in keeping his hand In his pocket,
had kept II on the letter. When the
road was smooth and stretched ahead.

tried to talk little courage into the

At four o'clock In the morning he

around TO the little house. He had

eyes were sunken in his head; the skin
over his temples looked drawn and
white. His clothes were wrinkled; the
soft hat he habitually wore was white
with the dust Of the road.
As he opened the hall door, Christine

out fully dressed.

In the dim hall light he realized that

looked on the verge Of hysteria.

The tender words broke down the

He watched her 60 down the hall to-
ward the night purses desk. Then he
went back into the quiet room.
He stood by the bedside, looking
down. Wilson was breathing quietly |;
his color was coming up, as he rallied
from the shock. In KS mind now was
Just one thought-to bring him through
for Sidney, and then to 60 away. He
might follow Joe to Cuba. There were
chances there. He could do sanitation
work. or he might try the canal.
The Street would 60 on working out
its own salvation. He would have to

And he was worried about Christine.
But there again, perhaps, It would be

story would have to work itself out.
His hands were tied. "rd better get
away from here" he told himself saw
agely.
Someone entered the room. He
thought II was Sidney and turned with
the light In his eyes that was only for
her. II was Carlotta.
She was not In uniform. She wore q
dark skirt and white waist and her
high heels tapped as she crossed the
room. She came directly to him.
: "He is better. Isn't he?"
'He is rallying. OF course It will be
q day or two before we are quite sure.

She turned toward the door. But X.
could not let her go like that. Her
face frightened him. 1t was too calm,
too controlled. He followed her across
the room.
"What are yOsr plans?"
II haven't any. I'm about through
with my training, but I've lost my
diploma"
II don't like to see you going away
like this"
She avoided his eyes, but his kindly
tone did what neither the Head nor the
executive committee had done that
day. II shook her control.
"What does 1t matter to you? You
don't owe me anything"
"Perhaps not. One way and another
I've known you long time"
"You never knew anything very
good"
"Tll tell you where live, and"

"What is there to think Of? This

But In the end he prevailed on her to
promise not TO leave the city until she
had seen him again. II was not until
she had gone, straight figure with
haunted eyes, that he reflected whim-
slcally that once again he had defeated
his own plans for flight.
Sidney brought her letter to Joe back
to X. She was flushed with the effort
and with new excitement.
1.-THE most remarkable thing has
happened. What day this has been |!
Somebody has sent Johnny Rosenfeld a
lot Of money. The ward nurse wants
you to come back"
The ward had settled for the night.
The well-ordered beds Of the daytime
were chaotic now, torn apart by toss
Ing figures. The night was hot and an
electric fan hummed In n far corner.
