The lovely Flanders gown which
graces this page may have been de-
signed for an evening gown for some
one who is serious minded, or as
dinner gown for some one who likes
to dress up to the limit for the in
formal dinner. The chances are that
its creator foresaw that 1t would be
obliged to lead the double life, serv-
ing for both dinner and evening wear,
for it is the order of the day that
evening gowns shall practice restraint,
nnd not fiaunt thoughtless, gay splen-
dor in the face of war. Here Is a
model that will appeal to the woman
OF fine perceptions and elegant taste.
The American designer of this and
other gowns appears to have arrived
with styles that suit and express the
American woman and are as beauti-
full as any France has sent to us.
This gown is of orchid satin, not

Arqentine's Wheat Crop.

Reports from the Argentine state
that weather conditions are ideal for
the growth Of wheat. The official pre-
liminary estimate is for crop of 24O,.
100000 bushels. The large crop Of
1856 was 173,O0O,OOO bushels, and
the average for the five preceding
years was 149,000,00O bushels. Domes.
tic requirements are bout 100000
bushels. The large crop now growing
will be available some time after Janu-
ary if transportation is furnished.

But in that vague medium recognition
was impossible.
Donald saw only the blurred fea-
lures behind the thick glass that COW
cred the face, distorted and twisted
by the refraction. He surmised that
it was not Davies. Davies could have
made himself known by any of num-
Der of symbols Of the seaman's free
masonry. But then, it could not be
Clouts either.
He caught at the figures hand and
raised it to his sleeve-light. 1t was
woman's hand-it was Ida's.
They knew each other. Donald took
her fingers in his, and together they
started ON the ascent.
To his horror, Donald perceived that
the water was becoming Opaque.
1t presaged the appearance of the
sea monsters. They were in this lair,
and this substance was no food, no
plankton that those devils pushed
forth before them like veil, but a
material designed to shield them from
the filtering sunlight.
Donald grasped Ida's hand and
fought his way through the clinging
| mass. AS he swung his free arm,
upraised, it struck against rocky
barrier overhead. The ooze underfoot
had yielded to solid rock.
He thrust out his arms on either
side, and still found rock. He realized
that they were no longer ascending
the mountain, but had struck cave.

Ida understand? There was no way
in which to tell her.
| He was about to retrace is steps
when he perceived, long distance in
front of him, a tiny glimmer of light,
At first he hoped that it was daylight.
But that was impossible.
Ida raised her hand and pointed.
She, too, had seen it, and had placed
the same Interpretation upon it.
At every step the light grew clearer.
It was not stationary, but swung to
and fro slowly from side to side, ris-
ing and falling, yet seeming to retreat
slowly as they advanced. Donald
strained his eyes through the mask,
expecting every moment to see the
form of one OF mis- comrades.

every direction, calculating that in this
way he could bound a parallelogram
and return to his starting point. But
he saw nothing, and he did not know
that he had returned to the place from
which he had set out.
He started wildly backward, believ-
ing that the submarine lay behind him.
AS ne walked, dragging his weight like
a convict's chain and ball, suddenly
the outlines of the F55 appeared be-
fore him.
He realized that she was lying with
her bow higher than her stern. At
once he grasped the situation. She
had sunk with her bow toward land,
and from this end, therefore, he must
start on the ascent of Fair islands
subterranean base.
And this discovery renewed his cour-
age. OF course, the others were en-
deavoring to make the ascent, while
he had gone foundering in the wrong
direction, downward toward the heart
of the crater.
He made his way parallel with the
submarines bow, keeping well within
sight of the elusive craft, which would
disappear momentarily before his eyes
and suddenly appear again, almost
within arms reach. Suddenly he
stopped. He stared at the oozy floor.
His light had cast his shadow in front
of him.
But that was impossible.
1t was no shadow. 1t was fiat
tened man, dwarish figure, ridicu-
lously misproportioned, resembling an
image seen in a curved mirror. 1t ap-
preached slowly and uncertainty. For
moment Donald felt his heart stand
still with fear. It was nightmare
figure, terror incarnate. A little glow
flashed from its arm. They drew to-
gether.
They stood looking at each other,
peering through their thick masks.

A Blouse in Three Shades.

A blouse of colored chiffon boasts
of three shades instead OF the Gus
tomary two-the three being dull peri
winkle blue, deep violet and orchid
color. The resulting effect is one of
the most charming seen in any of the
color combinations The underbodice
is orchid color, and the sleeves are
half of this shade.
A deep band of violet color, cut into
points at the top, is used at the bot
tom of the sleeves, and there are cuffs
of periwinkle blue with fiaring band
at the top, lined in orchid. The over
blouse is of periwinkle with a vest
made of orchid, and an oddly shaped
rolling collar of violet, lined in blue.
There is no embroidery or trimming
of any other sort on the blouse.

ON the Sea Floor,

He struggled for balance as the sea
depths enveloped him. He groped
in the water as in fog. The swirl of
bubbling air from the oxygen appara-
tus in the lock carried him some dis
tance from the submarine, and then
he felt himself sinking.
He sank very slowly, and as he sank
he CROPPED for Ida. He could not find
her. The submarine had disappeared
completely.
He waded to and fro clumsily. He
was like q dead man who wakes in an

Relieves Serious Case
of Chronic Constipation
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin COrrects
Condition That Seemed
Hopeless.

After suffering from chronic constipa-
ton until she was so run down she was
unable to do any kind OF work. Miss Fl.
a. Frees, 209 Adams St, Dayton, Ohio,
obtained a bottle of DR.. Caldwel's Syrup
Pepsin and used II with such crafty
ing results that she continued the treat
ment and has written to DR.. Caldwell
that her condition is again normal, and
that she wants to recommend Syrup
Pepsin to everyone who suffers with
constipation.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is a CON-
binatiOn of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, gentle in its action and free
from gripping or other pain or discom-
fort. It contains no Opiate or narcotic
drug, and, while acting readily on the
most stubborn case of inactive bowels,
is absolutely safe for the tiniest babe;
so that it is the ideal family laxative
and should be kept on hand in every
household for use when needed.
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin costs only
fifty cents a bottle and is sold in drug
stores everywhere. To avoid limitations
