The little woman with the keen eyes
and the weak mouth looked UP from
the piece of paper on which she had
been scribbling, her face stern with
resolve. "I'll go over and ask Bea-
trice, and perhaps she will see it my
way. It's only $40. Surely she
could spare that much"
Mrs. Hurd found Beatrice, her
| daughter, dressing little Paul and
Mary in clean slips before sending
them out to play. She looked up
smilingly as her mother entered,
but the smile quickly faded as she
saw the look on the face she knew
so we'll. Mrs. Hurd only wore this
look of stern resolve when she was
about to embark upon a new scheme
and needed some one to help her.
That some one always was Beatrice,

have to refuse her mother anything,

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

If you want a very new and
smart blouse to wear with your
coat suit you will be sure to
welcome this design. You can
make it all of a soft satin or
all of Georgette crepe, or you
can make the sleeves and under
portion of Georgette or of
chiffon, and the over-portion of
satin. In such case, it would be
pretty to make the collar to
match and to put a little bit of
embroidery worked with heavy
threads on it.
For the medium size will be
needed, 313 yards of material
27 inches wide, 8 yards SO, oT
yards a., or, N yards of ma
terial "A inches wide for the
under-bodice and M yards a.
for the over-portion, if two ma
terials are used.
The pattern No. $3.50 is cut
in sides from SO to a. inches
bust measure. 1t will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on
receipt of fifteen cents.

come out with a triumphant look in
her eyes and her fingers hastily fold

She followed the older woman
down the street and into another
building and watched while she
walked up to counter. If Mrs.
Hurd had not been forced to wait
for a young girl who was just ahead
of her, she probably would have
bought the paints and proceeded to
repent the results, as she always had
before. But the young girl ahead
spoke in a clear, youthful voice
