tive of these jumper dresses is illus
trated here, developed in black taffeta
with accompanying. underbodice of
white crepe Georgette. The high collar
smart sleeve, and fiaring skirt present
a pleasing picture. The second frOck
is also in jumper effect: one Of the
dainty ribbon girdles, with long, flying
ends and small cravat bow is a feat
ure. The skirt is unusual and new, and
the jumper particularly simple and
smart of cut. This idea is nicely
suited to either taffeta, or a fine
serge. The open throat, which will
probably continue in favor during the
summer, is an attractive detail of the
underblouse of crepe de Chine.

The governor nodded impatiently.

Today, however the full skirt is n Of
the approved features Of the modes,
and Is still growing fuller. We smile
upon it a%pprovingly now, and what, at
It's first appearance was looked upon
as bulk and clumsiness, is now consid-
cred quaint and daintily feminine.
Ribbon As Trimming.
Ribbon is being used profuse'y as
trimming on both hats and frocks. 1t
ranges in width from the inch-wide
faille or MORE banding, girdling the
waist of the severe little frock IF tai
fcta or serge, or forming the perky
cockade on the chic chapeau, to the
wide satin, MORE, or taffeta ribbon
which forms the entire skirt or bodice
Of the dance frock OF dinner dress. In
many Of the new dinner and evening
dresses ribbon bows of all descriptions
are used for trimming; there are perky
little bows, wide, graceful bows, simple
bows with flying ends tackled on to
bodice and skirt at various angles.
Nine. Jenny is particularly given to
ribbon trimmings; some of her dainty
dresses have their sheer, full skirts
banded around the bottom with wide
metal edged ribbonsA giving them a
most effective appearance.
Jumpers Still In Vogue.
For late spring and early fall, there
is nothing quite as satisfactory as the
jumper dress of ~taffeta, serge, or a
soft, lightweight wool. Worn with
guimpes, or over the regulation shirt
blouse Of crepe de Chine, crepe Georg-
cite, or taffeta it makes an attractive
costume for street and general day
time wear, perfectly suitable without
coat or other wrap. Such a dress has
all the appeal of a one-piece frock,
with the added attraction of being
easily freshened and changed by the
addition Of a contrasting guimpe or

They've got a man in your signal

General Crandall, In whom incredu-
lily was beginning to give way to The
first faint glfmmerings OF conviction
as to the possibility Of truth In the
informer's tale, rallied himself never
theless to combat an aspersion cast
on a British officer. nat %"
Suppose the Germans have a spy
in my signal tower or anywhere
here" he began argumentatively.
Suppose they learn every nook and
corner Of the Rock-have the caliber
and range of every gun In u de-
Tense; they couldn't capture Gibraltar
in a thousand years"
IT don't know what they want"
Capper returned, with the injured air
Of q man whose worth fails of recog-
milton. "I only came here. to warn
you that your Captain Woodhouse Is
taking orders from Berlin" 3
"Come-come, man! Give me some
proof to back up this cock-and-bull
story" General Crandall snapped. He
had risen, and was pacing nervously
back and forth.
Capper was secretly elated at this
sign that his story had struck home.
He stilled the .%futterings of his hands
by an effort, and tried to bring his
voice to the normal.
Here 1t is, General-all I've got
Of the story. The real Woodhouse
comes down from somewhere up in
the Nile-I don't know 'where-and
puts up for the night In Alexandria
to wait for the Princess Mary. No
friends in the town, you know no
where to visit. Three Wilhelmstrasse
men in Alexandria, headed by that
clever devil Cook, or Koch, who calls
himself a doctor nov Somehow they
get hold Of the real Woodhouse and
do for him-what l don't know
probably kill the poor devil.
General, I saw with my W eyes
an unconscious British omcer being
carried away from Koch's house in
Ramleh in an automobile-two men
with him. Capper fixed the governor
with a lean index finger dramatically"
"And I saw the man you just this
morning received as Captain Wood
house leave DoctNr Koch's house five
minutes after that poor dev1l-the
real Woodhouse-had been carried
off. That's the reason I took the
same boat with him to Gibraltar, Cen
eral Crandall-because I'm loyal and
it was my duty to warn you"
"Incredible!"%
"One thing more, General" Cap
per was sorely tempted, but for the
minute his wholesome fear Of conse-
quences curbed his tongue. Wood
house isn't working alone on the
Rock; you car be sure of that. He's
got friends to help him turn what
ever trick he's after-maybe in this
very house. They're clever people,
you can mark that down on your
slate!"'. 49, r
"Ridiculous!" The keeper Of the
Rock was fighting not to believe now.
E"Why, I tell you If they had a hun
dred Of their spies inside the lines
If they knew the Rock as we'll, as !
do they could never take it."
Capper rose YEARLY, the air Of a
misunderstood man on him.
perhaps they aren't trying to cap
ture it. I know nothing about that.
| Well-I've done my duty-as M Eng
lishman to another. I hope I've told
you in time. I'll be going now"
General Crandall swung on him
sharply. Where are o going? he
demanded.

Variety In Sleeves.
The drop shoulder and full sleeve Is
a feature of many of the new frocks;
in fact, the sleeve is the point, it would
seem, where designers and dress
makers are expanding most of their in
genuity. Many original, attractive no
tons are being carried out in the cuh,
in the trimming, and in the shoulder
line. Fulness is a decided feature, and
many effective methods of trimming
are being resorted to-; for instance,
stiff little ruffles and frills, and old
time quillings appear, lending an air OF
1910, which is quite in keeping with
the full skirts and other features OF
this period daily being introduced.
