An attractive frock of satin and
georgette crepe shows very conserv-
alive Interpretation of the new mode
which sometimes leaves the spectator
IN doubt as to whether the garment is
coat or dress. But in this instance
the coat indication is not very strong.
An underpetticoat of crepe is finished
at the bottom with band of the satin,
and a narrower band at the front dec
orates the panel effect.
The bodice is simply cut and plain,
but it sets close to the figure and but
tons at the front, where there is a
square cut-out at the neck. This is
filled in with small vestee of crepe,
and wired frill is set about the edge
If the opening in the silk. The square
opening corresponds with the style of
the bodice and saves the day for it.
The plain bodice buttoning straight
down the front cannot lay claim to
becomingness.
The sleeves merit little attention.
They are straight and rather full from
the shoulder to the cuff. The cuffs
are deep and turned to a rounded
point on the upper side. They are
finished with pipings where the
sleeves are gathered into them.
The satin skirt is shirred at the top
and set on to the bodice, making this
portion of the skirt and bodice a single

Lingerie Seams.

Instead of joining the seams of lin
gerie with fine beading or having them
hemstitched, you may try this method.
Put about eight thicknesses of wrap
ping paper between the two edges to
be scanned. Then with a loose ten
sion on the sewing machine and
medium sized stitch, stitch as you
would any seam. Pull the paper away
and roll or hem down the raw edges
Of the seam. When the stitching is
pulled apart it looks very much like
hemstitching.

And he rose abruptly and took a few
quick, restless steps about the room.
"Why-what an Imagination! he
exclaimed, forcing a laugh at last.
Really, Ethel, you're quite absurd"
But always, before we were mar
ried, you were so kind. so thoughtful
You talked only of pretty things. But
now, always IT is the feet-the navy.
You seem interested only In their
plans, their secrets. Is II for

Streetman's patience had reached
the breaking point. And at the ques-
ton he flew into a sudden rage. He
turned face like a thundercloud upon
her.
And on my side l ask why you mar
ried me? For love? I think
not!' he sneered.
His quick anger brought Ethel to
her feet.
But, Henry"
He waved her answer aside as II II
were not worth his listening to.

said, talking her down like a common
brawler. But now 1 hear 1t was

CHAPTER III.
A Foe In tho Household.

Brewster had hardly closed the doors
behind him before Ethel Willoughby
appeared.
"Oh, Henry You surprised me-" she
said.
II came before the Others" Street
man explained, because there is some
thing you must do for me at once"
! About the fleet, l suppose" she
said, somewhat YEARLY, as she turned
away from him.
81 How did you know?" He shot the
question at her almost too quickly for
caution. But for the moment he ex-
perienced something approaching
alarm. But her answer treasured him

thetic. If not reproachful. Once il had
seemed to her that Henry Streetman
was interested in her. But of late she
had been obliged to admit to herself
that that interest had quickly waned
Her handsome caller paid no atten-
! ton to the obvious complaint that lay
In Ethers answer. In the most mat
ter-of-fact fashion he proceeded
straight to the business that was up
permost in his mind.

George where the ships at Spithead

Find out if they sail together or If
they will disperse-and how"
AS she faced him again there was
beseeching I'm her voice. her eyes, her
whole manner.

Before we go into that, tell me
when are you going to let people know
we're married?"
Streetman remembered then that he
had a many sided role to play. And
thereupon he went up to the girl; and
taking one OF Ethel's hands in his.
while he put an arm around her. he
looked down at her In a most loverlike
fashion.
"Ah, my dear! I'd let them know
now-this minute-if only couldl" he
exclaimed.
But we must announce our mar
rage at once" she said quickly.
Announce our marriage-whyr
"Georgy Wagstaff told me lust
few minutes ago that when I said
was In Brighton a friend Of hers saw
you and me together in Paris" she re-
piled In tragic tones.
You did not explain?" he asked.
THAT we were on our honeymoon?
Mol / kept my word to you. l said
was In Brighton" She looked at
him In a puzzled way as he left her
then and paced the floor in a nervous
fashion.
"Of course, it's easily proved that I
was not in Brighton" Ethel continued.
"Georgy seemed to think you and
I WellAyou can imagine what
she must have thought. OH why must
there be this secrecy? / loathe IT,"
She sank upon the settee and stared
modify at the foor-a most unhappy
picture of pretty bride.
Streetman reused himself and bent
over her.

can arrange matters with my family"

When little Marie dances she may
wear the very simplest of all frocks,
like that shown in the picture. 1t is
nothing more than a straight piece of
hin silk, chiffon or crepe, accordion
plated, and sewed into q narrow band
of fine embroidered batiste or lace or
organdie. The plated material is cut
out under the arms in a shallow curve,
to make room for the arm, and the
bodyless skirt is suspended by shoulder
straps of velvet ribbon. A rather wide
hem weights the silk a little and gives
the dress a pretty "set"
Onder this very simple affair, which
hardly requires that one should think
twice about it, an ample petticoat and
small boomers OF batiste are trimmed
with furbelows of lace and ribbon and
disclose much more work In their
making than is needed for the dress.
Short sox and strap slippers are worn
with this dancing garb
A coat of rose-colored faille provides
an outer garment for the festive occa-
sion of this little miss. 1t has a plain
body and box-plaited skirt and fastens
at the front with snap fasteners. A

garment to be worn over the crepe
underskirt. There are similar designs,
made of cloth, in which even less of
the crepe underskirt shows, and they
are those that leave no doubt as to
whether they are coats or dresses.
For wear during the fall months, up to
the advent of cold weather, they have
everything to recommend them. Small
separate capes of velvet or crepe and
fur with hats to match, are offered as
accessories with these frocks, and no
outfit for autumn days has ever pre-
scented more style.

Graceful Collars.

1t is always worth while to wear
graceful collars that emphasize the
pretty contour of throat, or well cut
skirts that suit the swing of a finely
poised figure. In choosing the details
that shall bring out your good points
and in managing the larger matters
that shall throw your awkwardness in
to the background you will find you
have made a definite step toward look
ing attractive.

row OF small pearl buttons set close
together make no pretense OF being
useful, put they please the eye. The
little cuffs and collar are of fine eyelet
work and embroidery on batiste.
The little bonnet is made of wide
ribbon in light rose color. 1t is shirred
in rows over small cords and has a
soft puff fol- a crown. A big rosette
of the same ribbon is posed at the
back, which is unusual in bonnets for
such small ladies'.

them, with his trusted butler. Brew
ster, In his wake, bearing a muffin
tray.
Ethel went gayly to meet her bene-
factor. At least, her manner was
bllthesome; but her heart was leaden.
"Hello, Sir Georgew she said.
Hello, Ethel" They were good
pals-those two. The daughter OF one
of his oldest and dearest friends,
Ethel had always occupied a niche
all her own in Sir Georges affections.
Sir George was not OF the big type

he explained In his most plausible man
ner Until can come into ~ own
again we should starve. Soon It will
all be arranged" And once more he
turned away from her-this time with
an air of finality-as II there were
really no argument against his vague
protestations.
"Soon? You have said that for a
month" Ethel reminded him. you've
said It ever since we were married"
"Next week, then" he agreed in des-
peration. 81 promised And you will
learn tonight about the feetY he
added In the same breath.
"But Henry, If l do ask Sir George
and he tells me, isn't it rather shah
by thing to do then to come to you
and"
"No, no, no-as I've often told your
he interrupted. 1t seemed to him that
her objections were interminable.
And under the stress of the urging
from his superiors his forbearance was
fast reaching its end. To hide his
anxiety and his irritation. he stepped
to the window and looked out.
"But Sir George trusts me-" Ethel
resumed. Streetman stified mouth
filing German oath while he listened
to her. when he answers my ques-
tions," she continued, "he does so be-
cause he thinks I'm just idly curious.
He never dreams I'd repeat what he
says to anyone. 1t all puts me in a
beastly position. Sir George is a loyal
Englishman, and If he thought"
Streetman would not let her finish.
He wheeled about and said sharply, to
forestall even the merest mention of
spy
"And you are loyal Englishwoman
and l am loyal torrance"
"Then why do you pass yourself off
as an Englishmanw
Because 1t is the wish OF my en-
ployers, the French secret service. 1t
is the wish OF France" he declared In
grand manner. which he intended to
carry conviction with 1t.
ITS all quite beyond me-" she said
with a hopeless air. They had had
many such discussions. And never
yet had she been able to understand
the reasons that Streetman put forth
with unvarying glibness. "Why should
France wish to know about our fieet?"
"Ah! that l do not know" he re-
Piled. THE secret service gives me
their instructions. 1t Is for me to fol-
low, not to question them. 1t is my
work-my future" He drew nearer
to her, and his masterful eyes gazed
full into hers. at is our future,
Ethel!' he cried with apparent emo
ton.
But isn't France England's ally p
she asked. 81 can't understand why
she should need this information"
I'm times like these it is best for
each country to know all possible
about every country" he explained.
You will be doing no wrong to Eng
land when you get me the facts
desire" He sat down beside her. and.
placing his arm about her, he drew her
close to him. you will find out to-
night about the fleetg' he pleaded.
But there was something about his
persistent wheedllng that made Ethel
Willoughby-or Mrs. Streetman-sus-
picious.
Il can't help feeling that there Is
something behind all this -something
you are not telling me-" she said
slowly.
Despite his confident air, Streetman
could not easily look into her search
ing eyes. He was uncomfortable.

CHAPTER II-Continued.

Eyes, yesl or coursew Streetman
agreed hastily, as II he would forestall
any patriotic exhibition. "Still, one
would like to live with the luxuries
OF life. One day shall make the
grand coup; and then to cease all
( this" He broke Off suddenly, for he
heard Miss Willoughby stirring on the
other side of that closed door. "Ssshl
To the doori"
"Very good, Brewsterl" Mr.. Street
man said in clear, firm voice, which
he intended to carry well beyond that
closed door. ''I'll wait here for Miss
Willoughby."
And then Sir Georges butler bowed
and left the room.

upon a discussion of any topic-ex-
cept such as touched upon his high
office. And there he was exceedingly
touchy.
You think, then. there will be war
between Russia and Germany p
Streetman asked him eagerly. He
could not do otherwise than ignore
Sir Georges slightly frigid reply to
his previous question. If he felt any
resentment, he trusted to be able to
pay off the score in his own way, later.
Sir George lifted his eyebrows ever
so slightly as he glanced at Ethers
caller.
THAT, sir is a matter l should pre-
fer not TO discuss" he replied.
Pardon me, sir. but as a loyal Eng
lishman 1 am naturally interested"
And then Ethel stationed herself be-
hind the tea table.
Come! Let's talk of peace and
tea she said. 1t made her feel guilty
to sit there and hear Streetman try to
pry information out of Sir George be-
meath his own roof. And it seemed
that the least she could do to repay
him for his many kindnesses was to
protect him as best she might from
Streetman's indefatigable curiosity.
They had no sooner taken their cups
from her when Georgy Wagstaff burst
into the room.
Hello, everybody she greeted
them. Here's Guy and his mother"
Close behind her followed Mrs. Ste
phen Falconerand her good-looking son,
who was, as everybody knew, more
than devoted to Sir George Wagstaffs
vivacious daughter. WED have been
here earlier" Georgy explained, but
Mrs. Falconer and Guy had gone to
a matinee"
"Silly show" the blase Guy added
in bored drawl. 1.-The eternal tri-
angle or some such nonsensew
Every tiresomer' his mother agreed.
And so noisy! Full of shots and
pistols-and mostly about some poor
creature who'd sinned and repented."
That's the sort of play disap-
prove of, particularly for my daugh-
ter" Sir George commented from his
place on the settee. IL am glad,
Georgy, that you were not there"
"Oh, saw 1t last week." said
Georgy with mischlevous satisfaction.
And you ought TO go. father. You'd
weep over the heroine. Frightfully
damaged lady-wasn't she, Guy?"
"Oh, frightfully!' said Guy. Com
pletely beyond repairr'
II knew the minute she walked on
she wasn't a good woman. She was
so pale and circle-y, and so beautifully
dressed" Georgy explained. as she
watched her father squirm. Shocking
her respectable parent was one of
Georges favorite diversions.
You mustn't talk this silly cyni-
cism," Ethel reproved the two young
people.
Don't worryw Georgy retorted.
Father knows l don't get that sort
of chat from my very proper COVER
ness. It's just hereditary from him.
l express what he feels but doesn't
dare say"
But Sir George refused to be an
noyed by his daughters hectoring.
'At least l deserve credit for my
modesty," he observed dryly.

impressive, with his keen, gray eyes,
