TT WOULD seem that every woman
L had not only one sweater but many
sweaters from the great number seen
last summer. There is, however, a vast
difference between the sweaters of the
summertime and those that are in
tended for winter. For while the
sleeveless variety may have some
warmth they were chosen more for or
namentation than real utility. And
with the cold weather beginning to
rip ones nose. women are turning their
attention to sweaters that will prove
comfortable during the severe storms
of the coming winter.
In the days of the "hug-me- tight"
the coat was not supposed to be re-
moved to show the knitted affair, but
a-days 1t is considered quite cor
rect to show the sweater beneath the

coat For this reason women are Sc
lecting really good sweaters, of neutral
colorings that harmonize with the suit
or the dress with which they are worn.
Heavy yarns are used for the winter
sweaters and angora or brushed yarns
are popular as trimmings.
At the left today IL an unusual de-
sign which has a deep yoke. with box
plated section attached to the yoke.
The collar, belt and cuffs are of an
CORA.
At the right is a heavy slip-on
sweater, with two-inch band around
the entire garment. The belt Is also of
the same width and done in the cross
wise stitch. The ends of the belt and
the lower edge of the sweater are fin
ished with fringe.

At times I treat him rather mean, be-
cause I do not want him TO know l care
for him.
Will you advise me what TO do and how
TO act toward him?
Why. little puzzled girl. should you
want to know whether a man who treats
you meanly cares for your or not? Be
sides. you are too young to be filing
your little mind with thoughts of love
for a man, especially one ten years older
than you are. You ought to be out OF
doors playing hockey or basketball. or
at home studying your lessons and
taking plenty OF sleep and healthful ex-
ercise.
Besides, dear, and in fact, above all,
you have deceived the young man about
your age. You are only a child and you
should tell him your age and stop any
foolish friendship. Later, when you are
older you will be ready for love and
IL will come, don't fear.

Zone would think he was your

"Come, chief"
But, you stick-in-the-mud Of
an honest man." shouted Don Luis
agrily, "if we let this opportunity
slip shall we ever find another?''
Easily. He's going home. I'll
inform the commissary of police.
He will telephone to headquarters
and tomorrow morning."
And suppose the bird has
flown9"
II have no warrant"
do you want me to sign YOU
one, IDIOT"
But Don Luis mastered his rage.
He felt that all his arguments
would be shattered to pieces
against the sergeant's obstinacy,
and that, if necessary, Mazeroux
would go to the length Of defend
ing the enemy against him. He
simply said in a sententious tone /:
Zone ass and you make a pair
OF asses; and there are as many
asses as there are people who try
to do police work with bits of pa
per, signatures, warrants, and

lad, in done with one S fists. When
you come upon the enemy, hit him.
otherwise, you stand a chaince of
hitting the air. With that, good
night. I'm going to bed. Tele-
phone to me when the Job is
DONE"
He went home, furious, sick of
an adventure in which he had not
had elbow room, and in which he
had had to submit to the will, or,
rather, to the weakness of others.
But the next morning when he
woke up his longing to see the po-
lice lay hold of the man with the
ebony stick, and especially the
feeling that his assistance would
be of use, impelled him to dress as
quickly as he could.
IF don't come to the rescue"
he thought, "they II let themselves
be done in the eye. They re not
equal to a contest of this kind"
Just then Mazeroux rang up and
asked to speak to him. He rushed
to a little telephone box which his
predecessor had fitted up on the
first floor, in a dark recess that
communicated only with his study,
and switched on the electric light.
