Who would think that coolle hat
from China could ever inspire bou-
doir hat for our American girls? But
that is just what has happ~ned. No
quarter of the globe is "far" any more,
but it does seem far cry from the
simplest and humblest of headwear,
made for the least considered of heads,
to this ribbon creation for the proud
est and most pampered. Here it is,
and it is triumph for which we de-
light to honor its designer.
This cap is made of wide pink rib
bon and requires few very fine silk
covered wires to support the shape.
The ribbon is shirred in rows to form
the top, the first row about two inches
in from the edge, makes q scant ruff
lie. Along this shirring ruffie of lace
s. tackled to the under side and cir
ciet of wire supports it. The lace is
wide enough to form part of the
crown. It's straight edge is sewed to
a band of ribbon about four inches
wide. with a casing sewed on its un-
sler side. A fiat elastic run through
The casing holds the hat to the head.

Everywhere in the big stores, the
art of China and Japan greets the eye,
In furnishings and in apparel. Its an
i'll wind that blows no one good and
the war has made the looms of the
Orient prosperous, turning out fabrics
to make up for the shortage in Eu-
rope. France, in the face of all her
difficulties, manages to manufacture
many splendid stuffs, but not enough
to meet the demand. Our almond-eyed
neighbors have speeded up their pro-
ducerS and made a tremendous in
crease in their exports to us and al
ready American products reflect their
art in the adoption of design and col
orings. Our taste is being cultivated
without our knowing it.

they can't bear light. OF course that

At the center of the top the wide
ribbon is shirred to form standing
peak with small bow and two long
ends sewed at it's base, made of mar
row satin ribbon. This Is about the
newest and most unique Of headdress-
es for home wear. They are becoming
interesting as the holidays draw near
er. The coolie hat IS not the only
humble piece of headwear to inspire
the extravagant designer. The old
fashioned sunbonnet is the origin of q
pert little affair in lace and ribbons
that is easy to make. Then there is
the Russian cap, if one is looking for
the unusual in caps. But bands made
of wide ribbons. edged with narrow
lace and trimmed with little hand
made silk or chiffon flowers, are new
and popular, and the easiest of all to
make. They are laid Ia plaits at the
ends where they fasten together with
snap fasteners.

and fires the Imagination and lend2
splendor to the garment.
The body of this wrap is gathered
to band of ribbon that is long enough
to extend partly over the arms, at the
back and front. Full sleeves of black
crepe georgette are attached to it and
tied about the wrists with wide band
of ribbon finished with hanging bow.
The collar is q wide cape with one
side, extending with scarf end, to be
thrown over the shoulder: 1t is lined
with crepe georgette, like the cloak, in
the shade of blue that makes a lovely
background for the cleaning figures in
the ribbon. Altogether this wrap will
delight an artist; it is a great achieve
ment from every viewpoint.
This is only one Of many instances,
where wide ribbons have been made
the dominant feature in splendid gar
ments this season. In dinner gowns,
and for weddings they are used in tho
construction and not merely as acces-
sories of dresses. Plain or mcire rib
bons make the drapery on net dance

CHAPTER Wi.-continued.

The captain had spent weeks on the
island. He had put all the results of
his Investigations into his letter to
Donald. He described deliberately the
structure of the monsters, tracing the
notifications of the gills. air bladders,
fms and flippers.
Lastly, he told Donald the secret
of controlling them. And this was so
amazing that MacBeard almost doubt
ed it.
Unfortunately, two pages were miss
Ing, and these contained part of the
instructions for keeping the monsters
in subsection. And what alarmed
MacBeard, the manuscript ended with
the statement that the irruption was
not likely to prove of permanent in
jury to humanity, because
However, MacBeard cared little for
this in his supreme joy. His dreams
took definite shape at last, rushing into
the concrete with violence that sent
him into an ecstasy. He saw the man
of the future, the superman, who was
already at hand, irresistible by reason
of his numbers, strength and cunning.
And he saw himself, the ruler of new
world which had never heard of the
eighth commandment.
Next morning he left Baltimore in
his motorboat. 1t was constructed so
as to be practically unsinkable, and he
had stored it with provisions, gaso-
iraey nrn+ct To IlOd oil
weeks supplies on board. He was de-
pendent on no one.
He started northward at once,
passed within few miles of the F55
upon his course, and reached Fair
island. When he set foot upon it's
rocky, lonely shores, he knew that at
last his time had come. His revenge
upon the race was ripening, and he
meant to exercise it to the full.
His first act was to explore the
island. He discovered with his plum
NETS that Masterman had been correct
in tracing the prolongation of the
south spur of the continental shelf. He
discovered that Fair island was the
peak Of subterranean range ascend
ing sharply from great depth.
At distance of about three hundred
feet beneath the surface there was a
sort of cup or crater in the mountain,
teeming with unknown forms of sub
marine life.
He found the stores which had been
left by the oil-ship, but there was no
sign of any airplane. However, since
MacBeard did not know that one was
to have been sent, he did not expect
to find one.
Stocking cave with provisions, he
made himself at home there, and at
once set out to investigate the pres
ence Of Masterman's monsters.
