Lanterby told all that was known
of Smith, and had no difficulty IN
COMPRISING it into a single sentence.
Stanton leaned back In his chair and
the lids of the fiinty eyes narrowed
thoughtfully.

explain it all to you; but l just don't

the skirt is straight and plated.
You can make it of white linen
trimmed with blue as it is here,
or you can make it of blue linen
or other colored linen and trim
with white, or you can make
the skirt of colored linen and
the blouse of white linen
trimmed with the color or of
gabardine or of galatea or of
any similar material, and this
season there are very lovely
chambries that are being greatly
used for little girls dresses; not
alone the familiar blue and rose,
but also pretty green and buff
that are charming. The entire,
dress of buff with white collar
and trimmings is very dainty
and pretty.

LIFE IN WASHINGTON SQUARE

LII Nv " DRSAEkh
La Vie de Boheme, assiduously
cultivated about Washington Square,
New York, reaches its spectacular
limits in the regularly recurring cos
tune balls. Webster Hall, in East
Eleventh street, where the unions
shoot each other up when the artists
aren't dancing" is the chosen dane
ing ground. Not as large as the
famous Bal des Quatre Arts, never
theless the balls closely resemble
Partisan revel. Costumes are daring,
often almost negligible, as in the case
of the girl who found that ostrich
feathers could not be made to stick
with court-plaster and eventually
took refuge in a fur stole; pageants
are sometimes impressive and digni-
fed, but more often chaotic and full
of sensuality; music is splendid,
whether supplied by q balalaika or
chestra of booted, red-sm ocked Slavs
or q negro organization which never
tires; hours are what you make
them.-Cartoons.
