THE HOSETTE COMES PRETTY HIGH,
BUT NOT HIGH ENOUGH, SAY SOME
The Bare Fact Is the Latest Smart Feminine Spe-
caty Causes Some to Wonder Where
the Vogue Will Stop
By M'LISS

The hosette is here. Financially speak
Ing, 1t comes pretty high. but the literal
one might say the bare fact of the matter,
Is that the hosette is scarcely more than
sock. And taking this into consideration
there are some who believe 1t doesn't come
nearly high enough.
But everything depends on the knee. Some
say that the Scotch kilties, known to our
sponsible for the vogue. Others who have
not priced it, attribute the hosette to war
economy. At any rate the pair displayed
In the window of n speciality shop on Chest
nut street has caused one more specula-
ton as to what the world Is coming to
anyway.
The hosette costs dollar and half per
pair and up to the present time has ap-
peared only in black silk and gayer
blue and white striped effect It's success
was immediate.
THE pair that you see In the window"
the saleswoman testified. "is the last pair
that we have in the house"
The hosette is provided with tiny cuff
that turns down and conceals a round
garter. The latter should be made Of mar
row rubber and should fit very snugly.
Many persons are of the opinion that the
hosette should have been gently introduced
TO us in the tender springtime, so that we
could have worked up TO the cauld, cauld
blasts of winter. but there are others of
the faith that a dainty. dimpled darling Of
a knee will risk anything. to display itself.
with the announcement that skirts are
to be shorter and tighter, the display seems
certain.

American buyers to return this season

CAMP EDGE, Sea Girt, Aug. 81
Troop movements SOUTH when now or
dered, may be more extensive than those
anticipated few days ago. 1t was planned
to send with the next contingent the Di-
visional Headquarters Troop and Company
{, Engineers, from this State and the First
Maryland Infantry and the First Delaware
Infantry. These troops have not been
moved as rapidly as 1t was thought, and, as
a consequence, it is understood that a more
general movement may be ordered
Just what troons may be ordered out is
not known. General Barber stated again
this morning that he had no orders cover
ing any troop movements, dispelling a hun
dred and one rumors that sprang up like
mushrooms following yesterdays shower.
However, II Is 10 secret that the authorities
here will not be surprised to receive in
structions at ary time concerning the start
of other organize tions or detachments for
Camp Mcclellan.
There is no outfit more interested than
the cavalry. After five weeks in camp here
they know no more than when they came
about what the Government expects to do
with them. OF course, they want to re-
main as cavalry, but the chances seem to
favor their being converted into the ma
chine-gun battalion that is made a part of
every divisional organization under the
move for the reorganization of the army
to conform to the European plan. There is
talk also again of their transformation into
artillery, but this even is not considered as
probable as the other scheme
Both the infantry and the divisional
headquarters troop are launching forth on
program of practical work to be done In
the country near Sea Girt 1t will include
tactics, hikes, map reading and recon-
noitering. Such work was started few

hike of the Third Regiment home from AS

HARRISBURG. Aug. 81.
The plan mapped out for the movement
of per cent of Pennsylvania quota for
the new National Army which begins Sep
tember is the only one OF It's kind In
force in the country and was worked out
after consent had been obtained from Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder.
The original plan provided that the move
ment OF per cent Of the states quota
should cover n period of five days and that
each district should send one-fifth of the s
per cent quota each day. In some districts
where per cent called only few men II
was pointed out that on each of the five
days only one or two men would be sent

because l have asked Miss Maurel to
be my wife, and because am hoping
that some day, before very long, she
will consent"
The prince sat quite still in his chair,
his eyes fixed upon a certain spot in
the carpet. He had not even the ap-
pearance of being engaged in thought.
He seemed only stepped in a sort of
passivity. Finally, with sigh, he rose
to his feet.
"My young friend" he decided, "your
statement alters the situation. did
not credit you with matrimonial inten-
lions. 1 must see what can be done!"
His lips relaxed ever so slightly-so
slightly that they showed only a
glimpse Of his teeth in one straight,
hard line. He looked at John mildly,
and his words seemed destitute of all
offense; yet John felt the lightnings
were playing around them.

his way toward the writing table, "and

The prince laid down the review
keeping his finger in the place.
"Delightedr"
"Not long ago." John went on, 'fn
this room, someone-I think 1t was Ma
jor Charters-asked you what you
were doing this afternoon. You replied
that you were engaged. There were
several others present, and they began
to chaff you. Perhaps 1 joined in-I
don't remember. 1 think, that it was
Major Charters who asked you, to use
his own words, whether your appoint
ment was with a lady. You replied in
the affirmative. There was a loud vol
ley of chaff. You listened without con-
tradiction to many references concern
ing the lady and the afternoons en-
gagement."
The prince nodded slightly. His face
remained quite expressionless.
"As matter of fact" John conclud-
ed, 81 have discovered by the purest
accident that Miss Maurel is to be your
guest this afternoon at Seyre House."
The prince inclined his head gently.
He remained monosyllabic.
"Well?"
John frowned heavily.

that If any one of those men who
were present, and heard what was said
about your guest, found out afterward
that it was Miss Maurel who came to

CHAPTER XIX.

John came back to. town from his
Cumberland home. telling himself that
all had gone as well as he had expect
ed. He had done his duty. He had
told Stephen his news, and they had
parted friends. Yet all the time he
was conscious of an undercurrent of
disconcerting thoughts.
Louise met him at the station, and
he fancied that her expression, too,
although she welcomed him gaily
enough, was a little anxious.
'Well?" she asked, as she took his
arm and led him to where her limou-
sine was waiting. "What did that ter
rible brother of yours say?"
John made little grimace.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Back again to his rooms, and, later
on, once more to Louise's little house
in Kensington; few minutes master
full pleading, and then success. Louise
wrapped herself up and descended to
the street by his side.
For an hour or more John drove
steadily westward, scarcely speaking
more than a chance word. 1t was twi-
light when he brought the car to a
standstill. Louise raised her veil and
looked up.
"Well?" she asked inquiringly.
He pushed back the throttle on
his steering wheel and stopped the en-
CINE. Then he turned toward her.
Il have something to say to you," he

course. He hates women like poison,
and he always will. That is because
he will insist upon dwelling upon GER
tain unhappy incidents of our family
history"
81 shall never forget the morning
he came to call on me-" Louise sighed.
"He threatened all sorts of terrible
things if 1 did not give you up"
"Why didn't you tell me about it?"
John asked.
II thought it might worry you" she
replied, land it couldn't do any good.

He believed he was doing his duty.
John, you are sure about yourself,
aren't you?"
He was little startled by the earn
estness of her words. She seemed
pale and fragile, her eyes larger and
deeper than usual, and her mouth
| tremulous. She was like child with
| the shadow of some fear hanging over
her. He laughed and held her tightly
to him.
Her lips sought his and clung to
them. A queer little wave of passion
seemed to have seized her. Half cry
ing, half laughing, she pressed her
face against his. 81 do not want to
act tonight. 1 do not want to play,
even to the most wonderful audience
in the world. I do not want to shake
hands with many hundreds of people
at that hateful reception. 1 think I
want nothing else in the world but

She lay, for moment, passive in
his arms. He smoothed her hair and
kissed her tenderly. Then he led her
back to her place upon the couch.
Her emotional mood, while it fiattered
him in a sense, did nothing to quiet
the little demons of unrest that pulled,
every now and then, at his heart
strings.
What is this reception?" he asked.
She made a little grimace.
"It is a formal welcome from the
English stage to the French company
that has come over to play at the new
French theater," she told him. "Sir
Edward and 1 are to receive them.
You will come, will you not? I am
