CHAPTER VII.-continued.


The mist and an early dusk prevent
ed him from seeing Las Palmas itself
until he was well in among the irri-
gated fields. A few moments later,
when he rode up to the outbuildings,
he encountered middle-aged Mexican,
who proved to be Benito Gonzalez, the
range boss.
Dave made himself known, and Be
nito answered his questions with ap-
parent honesty. No, he had seen moth
ing of sorrel horse or strange rider,
but he mad just come in himself.
Doubtless they could learn more from
Juan, the horse-wrangler, who was
somewhere about.
Juan was finally found, but he
proved strangely recalcitrant. He adj
united that he had seen horse of
the description given. Probably it be-
lcnged to some stranger.
Dave changed his tactics. "Oiga - he
said, sternly. 'sDo you want to go to
jail?" Juan had no such desire. 'sThen
tell the truth. Where is the horse
now?"
Juan insolently declared he didn't
know and didn't care.
"Oh, you don't, Ell" Law reached
for the boy, and shook him until he
yelled. "You will make nice little
prisoner, Juanito, and we shall find a
way to make you speak"
Gonzalez was inclined to resent such
high-hanGed treatment of his I1nder.
ling, but respect for the Rangers was
deep-rooted, and Juan's behavior was
fnexplicable.
At last the lorseboy confessed. He
had seen both horse and rider, but
knew neither. Mr.. Austin and the
stranger had arrived together, and the
latter had gone on. That was the
truth.
"Bueno" Law released his prisoner,
who skunk away rubbing his shoulder.
SNOW, Benito, we will find Mr.. Aus
tin"
A voice answered from the dusk :
~'He won't take much finding" and Ed
Austin himself emerged from the stable
door. swell, what do you want?"
'sYou are Mr.. Austin, reckon?"
81 am. What d'you mean by abus-
ing my help?" The master of Las Pal
mas approached so near that his
threatening scowl was visible. 81 don't
allow strangers to prowl around my
premises"

Old and New Fashioned Aprons

1t probably would be differ to
discover the woman who did not
possess some sort Of an apron
among her belongings, for. from
very early times, that has been an
important article of the feminine
wardrobe. For that matter. the
apron also forms a part Of the
working clothes Of many a man. as
we'll, although it is by no means a
common article Of wearing apparel
Tor them. Children. too. wear APP
rOns, although the little girl of yes
terday. with her pretty white apron
covering her dress all over and
with strings tied behind in a smart
and generous bow, seems 10 have
disappeared. Somewhat similar in
cut 10 that pretty white garment of
hers. is the black pinafore which all
the little French children. both boys
and girls, are wearing, even today,
as they have worn them for many
long years.
The word apron" is said to be a
corruption of the phrase AN apron.
which comes from the French word
"naperon" meaning a cloth or table,
cloth-our word narery comes d.
rectly from that. The old English
form is "naprOn." also. "Barme
cloth" is another name for an
apron. and this term was in use in
Chaucer's time. We know that
plain white aprons Of generous pro-
portions were in general use during
the fourteenth century. for we can
sec them in many an old nlustra-
ton Of books OF the period These
were worn chiefly by good house
wives. who took an active part in
the work OF their homes. Later on,
the women OF the leisure classes
the ladies. as they were called,
adopted them. Then. OF course.
from being purely utilitarian gar
ments. or garment accessories, they
soon grew 10 be elabo ate affairs of

OF trimming or decorative adjunct
to the dress. These were popular
during the reign of Queen Anne and
pictures of the time show the long
point of the bodice extending down
over the apron.
From that day TO this. the apron
as an ornamental, as well as useful,
article of dress has formed a more
or less important part of the ward
robe of most women. And it has
been made in many styles and fab
RIGS, as in the earlier days.
Although the white apron of fine
lawn or muslin has always been a
favorite, still the apron Of silk has
had its place in the front rank of
popularity. also. A fashion maya
zine of the year 1910 calls atten-
ton Of aprons of changeable silk.
usually taffeta, edged about with
black lace or fringe. Some. too,
they noted. were made of a plain
material called '"mousseline de
laine," embroidered with silken
bouquets of flowers in colors. 9th
ers were made of plain gray silk.
edged about with a narrow band Of
blue or rose colored silk. often en-
broidered. These were frequently
lined with rose or blue: a plain ma
terial. TO match the BACKGROUND of
the border. and edged about with
lace.
They were small affairs. with
rounded corners. and tiny pockets.
But the most elegant Of all is the
embroidered muslin with a border
all round and a handsome lace out
side" according 20 a fashion note
in Godey's Lady's book of that pc
riod. These latter are lined with
pink. blue. lilac or pale yellow
silk"
Aprons Of today are made OF
widely differing fabrics mostly
woven OF cotton, though occasional
Is linen is used. There is the gen.
erous all-enveloping apron for

Whenever the amusing bifurcated

Will never be seen in public, except

fanciful modes for women who are

the practical. too. for in these little

Why Women Should Register

And now let's see why the govern

yourself that very question-of VIVA
practical use the mere signing of
your name TO a registration card
