She was used to light badinage and
hardly knew how to reply tiippantly
as the others were doing.
TO the Little Inn"
Well" said the youth, who was
driving, where shall it be? Down
at the little inn?"
"Oh yes" they all shouted in
chorus.
Ever been there?" questioned
Elsie's cavalier, who had slipped mis-
arm comfortably about the seat be-
hind her.
She shook her head.
Great little place: you'll like it.
And then he turned to one of the
other girls and made a light remark
which evoked shrieks of laughter.
The big car was driven rather
recklessly, and long before they had
reached the little inn in question
Elsie had begun to feel nervous.
Once they had darted across II rail-
road track just in front of train,
and she had cried out. The others
had only laughed.
shes afraid" one of them jeered.
"Well she hasn't been out much" q"
put in another. Elsie had not re-
piled, but she had shivered, and the
youth next to her had slipped his
arm around her waist.
She was glad when they finally
drew up at the little inn, but by
the time they were ready to go on
again she was more afraid than ever.
The boy who was driving had had
more than he should have had TO
drink.
This time she was really afraid,
particularly as he paid so little at
tention to the driving and insisted
on making love to the girl who sat
with him.
Don't be frightened" said the
man next to her, conn ortingly. But
she had drawn away from him and
was sitting with tightly clasped ting-
ers waiting for something to happen.
The Crash Comes
And it did happen. AS they were
they struck a little stone bridge. 1t
was unexpected, and the car did not
right itself. There was dizzy mo-
ment. and then it plunged over into
the ditch.
Elsie, who had been expecting it,
rolled safely over and under the
bridge itself. She was conscious Of
one thing, and that was that she
was not hurt.
Something intuitive forced her TO
do as she did, for without stopping
to think she began to run across
country in the direction from which
they had come. Long before she
was out of earshot she looked fear
somely behind her and saw a crowd
collecting.
She kept saying over and over to

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

The cape of this little frock is
optional, and it can be made
to be attached with snap fas-
Jennings, therefore, you can use
it for a street dress and for
indoor wear with equal smart
ness. There are a number of
interesting features in the de-
sign. The cape and the surplice
band, the raised waist line at
the front and the tunic, all are
new features. The model is
charming for any material which
is soft enough to be made full
with success, or if you like, you
could make the skirt of a diff
ferent material, as charmeuse
or taffeta with georgette crepe
for the remainder of the dress.
In the picture silk voile is
trimmed with bands of satin.
The color is the new one known
as beet root, and the collar and
cuffs are of white georgette
crepe to give a very dainty
effect. You will notice that
the buttons are of the satin.
They make another feature for
made buttons of the sort and
are to be generally used in the
Autumn.
For the 16-year size will be
needed, Oh yards of material
SO inches or 5& yards "A inches
wide with 5s of a yard for the
collar and cuffs.
The pattern o525 is cut in
sizes for 10 and Is years. 1t
will be mailed to any address
by the Fashion Department OF
this paper, on receipt of fifteen
cents.

But really l don't want to go.
Don't be silly, Elsie. you'll have a
grand time. And you just bought
that new hat, too. 1t will be just the
thing to wear"
The eyes of the first speaker
frightened After all, she was very
young, and had not enough money
to have many good times. 1t was
a temptation. The remainder of the
new hat acted like magic, too. Per-
haps the willy temptress had known
this when she made the remark.
shes going to be a sport, girls
she really is" said one of the girls
eyeing the downcast face eagerly
Gee, it isn't everyone who makes
such a hit with Il swell fellow the
very first time he sets eyes on her.
That's right" from one of the
others.
"Oh, I'll CO." said Elsie, giving
in at last. Il know | oughtn't to

Her First Surrender.
The other three trooped down the
hall of the cheap boarding house
leaving Elsie to get into her clothes
Elsie had decided to go this once
and to forget all about the fact that
she owned 81 conscience. Not that she
contemplated doing anything really
wrong, but she hated to do as the
other girls did in order to have a
good time. Until now she had held
out, and now that she had surren-
dered she was not going to be glum
about it.

pie little blue dress and the new
hat and warmly wrapped in a heavy
coat she followed the other threS

When I go through my letters i
usually have a strong impression of
the writer. 1t seems to pervade the
written word; and this morning the
people who are talking to me on
paper are all of them sad. They
write of their perplexities and diff
culties. of their wounds of the heart

opportunity to free himself from his
responsibilities and home ties and to

to America, and he wanted to go un-

He was afraid to desert them open

village telling every one he met that
he he.l discovered this circumstance
in his daughters life and that he
was filled with such unbearablc
shame and misery that he could no

Mothers Attempt to Take the Blame
Wasted Sacrifice
Her mother seeing the child's an
Euish and moved by some maternal
passion of protection, attempted to
lift the ignominy from her daughter
by stating that it was her wrong
doing and not the girls that had
driven her husband away. When the
Village people asked her why he had

flee was wasted. Her effort to re-
habilitate her daughter at her own
expense failed. The village tribunal
of gossips and loafers decided that
they were both bad-creatures to be
set apart and tortured by abuse and
mockery.
Life became so hideous to the girl

blindly, as she gasped the words.
Luck was certainly with her, for
she reached a railroad station and
stumbled in. There was a train for
