Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

The coat suit is to make a
feature of the Autumn and here
is one that shows very new fea-
lures. The coat is semi-htting
and it takes long and becoming
lines that render it available for
the figures of generous proper
tons as we'll as for the slender
ones. The skirt also is made in
six cores, each gore forming
box plait, so that there are a
succession of straight lines.
Here, the material is a checked
light weight wool but the use
of plain or striped material en-
phasizes the slender effect. For
the early season, the Summer
serges and light weight bolivia
cloth are favorite materials.
Broadcloth is extensively used
and there are pretty novelties
that combine silk with wool
that are of really perfect weight
for such use. Quiet colors are
the preferred ones and this suit
shows blue broadcloth with
threads of black that form a
check and the collar and cuffs
are of plain blue.
For the medium size the coat
will require, 3A yards of ma
terial SO inches wide, 3N yards
a, 212 yards 81 and the skirt,
3M yards SO, 8 yards a., 31S
yards 81.
The coat pattern No. o5I2
is cut in sizes from 36 to 46
inches bust measure and the
skirt pattern No. o4s4 in sizes
from "a to go inches waist
measure. They will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on
reoeiDt of fifteen. cents for each.

But she stood looking out of the
window after he left, uneasy with a
prescience of trouble. She watched
with a feverish interest the stir that
presently arose about the bunk
houses. That summer a wide space
had been cleared between bungalow
and camp. She could see moving
lanterns and even. now and then
hear the voices of men calling to
each other. Once the Panther 5

picked out a file of men carrying
their blankets toward the boat.
Shortly after that the tender rounded
the point. Close behind her went
the Waterbug, and both boats
swarmed with men.
Stella looked and listened until
there was but a faint thrum far up
the lake. Then she went to bed
but not to sleep. What ugly pas
sions were loosed at the lake head
she did not know. But on the face
of it she could not avoid wondering
if Monohan had deliberately set out
to cross and harass Jack Fyfe--be-
cause of her? That was the question
which had hovered on her lips that
evening. one she had not brought
herself to ask. Because of her or
because of some enmity that far pre-
ceded her. She had thought him
big enough to do as she had done.
as Fyfe was tacitly doing-make the
best OF n grievous matter.
But if he had allowed his passions
to dictate reprisals she trembled for
the outcome. F'yfe was not n man
to sit quiet under either affront or
injury. He would fight with double
rancor if Monohan were his adver-
sary.

Advice to the LOveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Introduction

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Kindly advise me is it proper
when two ladies are introduced for
them to shake hands? Also would
you consider it good form for a lady
upon Introduction to a gentleman
to extend her hand? Should a lady,
when seated. upon introduction to
either a lady or a gentleman rise or
remain sitting?
These questions have come up
among group of friends who have
decided to abide by your judgment.
RUTH.
OF curse it is proper for women
TO shake hands when they are in
troduced. What is cordial, courteous
and friendly is almost invariably
proper" Hold out your hand to
man Wien you are presented to him.
That IS friendly-not forward. 1t is
not Necessary to rise when you are
to another young person,
if it be a man. But al
WAYS rise for your elders; and of
course a man stands whenever wom-
en are standing, whether he is just
then teing introduced to them or
not.

"Why did the Waterbug go down
the lake," Stella asked breathlessly.

happened up there?"

quietly. Three or four of the boys

Stella had asked Jack to put him on

loyal, CHEEKY sort of soul, and
Billy had been a part of every ex-
pedition they had taken around the
lake. She could not think of him
as rigid, lifeless lump of clay.

Stella turned and walked up to
the house, stunned. She could not
credit bloodshed, death. Always in
her life both had been things re-
mote. And as the real significance
of Lefty Howe's story grew on her
she shuddered. 1t lay at her door,

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain.
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this Is all you will need), ap-
ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most If not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly.
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.

WAR ON INSECT PERIL NEXT
determination of Winged and Creep
ing Enemies of Mankind Held to
Be of Vital Importance.

A writer in an English journal has
suggested that the next great war will
be between man and the insect world.
This war would be waged not only on
insects that actually attack man him
self, but also on all those winged Or
creeping things that are his enemies
in less direct ways-those species that,
to use the writer's phrase "exist at
the expense of human progress and
happiness"
We all shudder with horror at the
thought of a scorpion or of a cent?
pede, although few of us ever see one
of them, but we do not shudder enough
at the thought of the millions Of I'M
told disgusting things that we are put
ting up with all the time. Perhaps 1t is
unfortunate for us that many of these
harmful, and even death-deallng in
sects are very small. If they were as
large as they are bad we should soon
rid ourselves of them. When we see

The death toll that vermin have
caused in the present war so enforced
its lesson that the world has reused
itself to clean things up. The knowl-
edge that certain insects were disgust
ing and unclean did not seem to be
sufficient reason for action, but the
knowledge that these same insects are
quite as dangerous as so many bullets
is n strong argument.-YOuth's Com

ried him up the stairs to the room
above the garage. Then he bound him
hand and foot and stood gazing at him
triumphantly.
At last he had his enemy in his
power. And he meant TO make full
use of that power.
But he could not remain there to
exact his vengeance. He must follow
up Leontine. He administered a pow
erful South American drug, which
would prolong the period of Raven
CARS Inconsistencies for definite
time. Then, leaving Ravengar bound,
he hurried downstairs, opened the
door, locked it behind him, and went
off In search of his wife.
1t was novel experience for Sc
bastian, stalking through the city
streets wrapped in invlsibiilty.
He did not find Leontine at the
hospital. But he met her at the back
of the laboratory, with the results al
ready indicated. He fought with Mr..
Patrick Mcclure, receiving some stun
ming blows from the wash-stick, he
threw him bodily over the bridge. only
to see him rescued by the rowLoats
occupants. And, finally, he found the
bottle of pellets floating against she
support of the bridge.
He had achieved his purpose. Tri-
umphantly he FASTENED back to the

He found Ravengar just awakened
from the effects of the drug. He stood
over him and surveyed him, his eyes
blazing with triumph.

Thirteenth EPISODE
The Hidden Menace.

AS Leontine knelt there Ravengar
disappeared.
He was gone in a moment, before
her eyes, and before the eyes of the
group of doctors and hospital assist
ants who had run up to the scene OF
the fighting.
She rose to her feet with cry. The
hospital staff stared about them in
amaZement.
where is he?" cried everyone.
"He is gone :" cried Leontine. "He
has been kidnapped. Come to the po-
lice station. We can do nothing more
now. / know"
She broke off. What could she say2
How could she explain the matter in
q way to carry conviction?
They followed her to the police sta
ton, and there the difficulty was in
tensified. The police listened to her
story in incredulous surprise, until
Leontine, realizing the futility of what
she was trying to say, became silent
She had caught the looks that were
interchanged, looks suggestive and
limiting as to her condition OF mind.
She decided to go TO Ravengar's
laboratory. There was just the chance
that he had escaped and made his
way there. Sebastian could not have
carried him away bodily. Ravengar
had been regaining consciousness even
in the moment or two during which
Leontine had knelt at his side on the
floor of the hospital.
She ordered q taxicab and drove to-
ward the laboratory.
Meanwhile little scene was taking
place in the street in front of the
building. Mr.. Patrick MCGUIRE, who
had nothing in particular to do, was
watching some street urchins quarrel
ing over a find which they had picked
up in the street. 1t was, in fact, moth
ing else than the bottle of pellets.
One of them, a boy of seven or eight
years, had bounced upon it and picked
it up. He looked very greedy eyes at
the dark bean-like objects, apparently
chocolate-coated, which lay in his
hands.
He was about to convey one Of them

Journal, which Ravengar had replaced
there before his hurried exit.
Suddenly. as che began to read, she
became conscious that she was not
alone. She looked back. The room
was apparently empty.
Smothering her fears, she read:
ITO all whom it may be known:

discovered here on the ledge of Raw

the other of far greater value. The

am dying-it may be found. 1t is three
black pellets. To the finder they mean

man. They are"
Leontine started. This time she
knew her instinct had not deceived
her. She looked back-into the face
of Sebastian. He had thrown of his
cloak and stood confronting her, a
mocking sneer upon his face.
"Give that to me-" he said, advanc-
ing.
"You shall not have It'll"

She ran from him, but he followed
her, caught her at the door, and wrest-
ed the journal from her hand, In spite
of her furious struggles.
She snatched IL back and rushed
toward the safe, thrust 1t inside, and
tried to slam the door. But the pom
derous mass of steel moved slowly
and Sebastian grasped the journal
again. AS Leontine tried once again
to grapple with him he flung her, e

her head against the corner OF the

''They won't hurt you. All they'll do
will be to make you black inside, and

Sebastian scowled again. 1t was
humillating to be tainted by man
whose life was at his mercy.
