Adjusting the
Bridal Veil

Let the brides of today take notice
that there are many new ways for
draping the wedding veil. If it is an
heirloom of lace the fortunate bride
who is to wear 1t will wish to empha-
size its richness and its age. She
will consider just how to wear it to
the very best advantage of the veil
and herself And all at once, since
June arrived, a great number of new
arrangements has been launched.
noticeable because we have not seen
their like before.
Almost all tulle wells fan rom caps
made of this ethereal AZ .erral One
of these caps was covered with small
shirred tucks massed together. frill
of tulle fell over the brow, and the
long ample veil Of tulle streamed from
the back of the cap. A wreath made
of white roses and orange blossoms
was posed at sprightly tilt about it.,
and an outstanding spray of roses and
orange blossoms stood up bravely at
The right side near the back.

'Summery Frock

Here is a little summery frock of
'rgandie which might just as well be
Of lawn or voile or any other material,
just so it is sheer and crisp enough.
There is refinement in sheer fabrics
which is half their charm, and this ac-
counts for the use of lively colors in
transparent cotton and silk goods.
Either may be used to make a dress
exactly like the model pictured which
is sure to compel admiration.
There is nothing difficult in it's CON

merely a straight, full skirt and

dateness is apparent in the method of
decorating the skirt, and in the man

picture 1t is shown in plain white or

band about the head, were brought to-
gether in rosette of loops and orange
blossoms on top of the head. A little
cluster of orange blossoms was poised
at each side, on the plated band, Just
over the temple. From the remainder
of the band the full long veil of tulle
depended.
The veil of lovely old lace shown in
the picture looks as If 1t might have
graced royal bride. 1t is shown in
two arrangements. In one there is a
Juliet cap of pearl and crystal beads
and the veil is boXplaited across the
, back and side, falling from a head
dress in keeping with It, III the other
arrangement the veil is laid in box
plaits across the brow and gathered in
at the back to form a cap. Accepting
traditional ideas, orange blossoms and
buds are placed in little sprays at each
side and over the plating at the back.
There is no more appealing charm
than that of the veil draped with
orange blossoms about the brow. But
many bride foregoes 1t, choosing to
wear her orange blossoms in corsage
or wrist bouquet, for the sake of nov

by cutting the goods crosswise into
strips and joining them into one long
strip. This is to be hemmed on the
sewing machine in the narrowest pos
sible hem, along both raw edges. 1t is
gathered lengthwise along the center,
and this work is also done on the ma
chine. Or if plated ruching is pre-
ferred the hemmed strip is laid in dou-
BILE box plaits and these are basted
down and afterward stitched down on
the machine. They may be made of
taffeta silk.
The skirt is hemmed in a three-inch
hem and two groups of narrow tucks
introduced in it, one above the hem
and the other above the knees The
ruching is set on above and below the
lower tucks, and at the lower side of
the other group. 1t is used for joining
wide frill to the elbow sleeves and
as a decoration for the blouse.
The blouse opens at the front in
V. and one might expect it to be fin
ished with quaint fichu. But instead
it is collared and capped in the unmis-
taxable 1916 mode. and instead of
sash narrow ribbon girdle is fas-
tened with a little cluster of cherries.

his assistance. The two of them had
conferred the night before and settled
upon a plan of campaign for testing
the stability of the affairs of the bank.
It was in accordance with this plan
that the rotund and genial Allen break
tasted in that dining room where the
special agents suspicious had first
been aroused. Bayard Alexander was
at his usual table and Allen allowed
the banker to see him although he ap-
peared not to be aware of it. It was
also in accordance with the cards
played by the men of the government
service that Special Agent Gard, still
a bit seedy in his hand-me-down suit,
was loafing on the sidewalk opposite
the Second National bank when the
cashier came to work. 1t was a part
of his plan that he should see as much
az possible of what went on in the in
stitution when the word was passed
that the examiner was in town.
Gard was not surprised, therefore,
when a messenger emerged from the
bank and hurried off down the street.
He believed that the story of the book.
keeper of the kiting bank was to be
enacted before his eyes. He followed
the messenger to another bank two
blocks away and there saw him pre-
sent a check. Gard crowded in on the
pretense of getting bill changed and
saw blocks of bills Of large denomina-
tons being taken from the vault. The
messenger hurried back to the bank
with them. It was evident that that
institution was making ready for the
coming of the examiner. It was as

shown that we can realize on It. It Is

"And there are the notes of the Old

heatedly argued a second disaffected
director. IT have been reliably in
formed within the last two days that
they are in danger of going to the

"And we, as directors, are RESPONSE

was conservative.
II for one," said Mr.. Hinton, have
reached the point where insist on a
new management. I would like to know
the sentiment of the board upon this
question:"
But the cashier asked for word Of
explanation. Broad-shouldered and up
standing he rose among these heavy,
sleek, bald-headed business men. His
high and intellectual brow and clear
cut features gave him a distinction
that always made its impression. But
the firm mouth and the damp curls
were those of man Of physical force

Turing and convincing as he made his
plea and there was now no tremble of
the hand.
He stated and called upon Senator
Bothdoldt to witness that the McGratb
Construction company had just re-.
ceived from the government contracts
for the building of numerous locks in
the Ohio river. He agreed with the
spirit of conservatism of the board
and shared it. He had heard the ru-
mors with relation to the Oldham Mer-
camille company and had sifted them
to their depths and had found them
without basis in fact. However, he
had just called in a block of their
notes. He painted rosy picture of
the condition of the bank and the
prospects of the future. He reminded
the directors that they had given him
a free hand in the past and pointed to
the institution as a monument to his
accomplishment. At the termination
of which speech, so convincing and so
dominant was the personality of the
man. Director Hinton withdrew his
protest and the institution was left
under the former guidance.
It was three days later that things
began to happen. Gard had called up
on Bank Examiner Allen to come to

they should be or this preparation
would not be necessary.
It was a part of the program that,
when Sloan, the bookkeeper, came out
of the bank for lunch, Gard should be
waiting for him. 1t was not unusual
that they thus went to their monday
meal together.
"Will you do me a favor?" asked
Sloan while they were at lunch. "Tuke
care of this package for me. It Ia a
large photograph, rolled, that I have
just received from home. Please ne
careful of it,
The special agent assumed charge
of the package which looked not un"
like a roll of music. Later he found
his suspicious justified for in the roll
we're a number of leaves from the
banks individual ledger. Gard was
appalled, at the amount Of money that
they represented. He carefully photo
graphed them and returned them that
night to the bookkeeper.
No pretext was omitted for getting

the Second National bank on this par
ticular day. Examiner Allen had
called in the afternoon and had care
fully looked over the balances. All
appeared to be in order and no dis
crepancies were revealed. The bank
seemed particularly strong from the
standpoint of cash on hand.
It was just at closing time that two
things happened. Gard presented him
self at the Second National and asked
to see the cashier. He had become
known there as an associate Of Sloan's.
He was looking for position as book
keeper and it was for this he came. He
waited. It often happens that an In
dividual may wander unannounced
into quarters the privacy of which are
ordinarily closely guarded. Gard found
the door open that led into the corri-
dor off of which were to be found the
offices Of the officials of the bank. He
walked in and wandered down the row
until he found that of the cashier.
This he entered and found entirely
empty. It was a spacious room with
big, flat-topped desk. Across one
corner of this was thrown coat, and
hat rested upon it. An open travel
ing bag stood on the table.
The special agent, by leaning on the
The Tomahawk., 1916-10-19

table in the attitude of waiting, could
look into the bag. There he saw a
package of what he recognized as a
well-known issue of industrial bonds
which the examiner had listed as one
of the chief assets of the bank. It
should have been in the banks vaults,
instead of which it was in the cashiers
travelling bag. This was a discovery
well worth consideration.
Cashier Alexander entered the room
hurriedly from another part of the
bank. He was visibly startled to find
someone present and demanded brusk-
ly what the intruder was doing there.
II am bookkeeper, sir" <said the
special agent very humbly. "Sloan is
a friend of mine and thought you
might employ me-"
Il can't talk to you tonight. Come
around next week."
"But may I not come tomorrow"
said Gard.
IT will be out Of town for three
days." Alexander said finally. Il can't
talk to you until after that"
The special agent took his dismissal.

was going away and that he was TAX

probably New York.
Meantime the genial examiner had
rolled in upon the bank to which the
Second National had sent its messen-
ger, at about closing time. He had
asked to see the transactions Of the

arose and went to the front Of the
train. From this point he worked
steadily back, making sure that he
saw every passenger, looking each
over with sufficient scrutiny that dis
guise would not have escaped him,
making sure that the man he sought
was in the portion Of the train to the
rear. It began to look as though he
had actually boarded train which the
fugitive had failed to catch.
Dark was just coming on. It was
that hour when most of the passen-
gers on a train are to be found in the
diner It happened that this train was
running LIGHT and now the sleepers
were practically deserted but for the
nodding porters. Through one after
another of these the special agent
passed until there remained only the
observation car at the end. It was
here that he would find his quarry or
prove himself outwitted.
When he came into the observation
car through the narrow hall that leads
to it, a lounging figure by the door
drew itself taut. Instinctively it put
it's hand to a travelling bag that rest
ed on the next chair. Then it re-
manned still.

the car and went Immediately to the
task in hand.
