noon frock of light gray crepe Georgette.

ger. the youngest daughter Of the great
hnancier. Mrs. Ballinger insists that she
wear only the simplest Of frocks, with az
little trimming on them as possible

answered that 1t had been my LUCK
to be away from the studio when she
"ame for her fittings. but that I had
heard from Marianne about her ex-
quisite daintiness and beautiful face.
"Millicent Ballinger Is a very modern
young lady, for all that she looks like q
demure Quaker maiden. But in design
ing her clothes, strive to emphasize her
auaintness and old-timey charm But
put on the frock and we'll see how it's
turned out"
slipped into the little gray dress and
Immediately felt quite at home in 1t.
As Madame had intimated. it was my
style and looked exceptionally well
In 1t.
In the first place. the frock fastened
at the back with a row of gray bullet
buttons, placed very closely. together
and buttonholes bound with the crepe
There's a certain youthfulness about a
frock which buttons at the back that is
lacking in any other.
The bodice was shirred rather full to
a pointed yoke of Georgette. the points
extending well over the shoulders, giving
graceful slope to the shoulderline
The yoke was shallow and ornamented
with simple design in soutache braid
Ing, OF the same tone as the material.
The bodice was also gathered quite fun
above the waistline.

and the poor old chap glowed with
pride. Now please drop everything else
and move your things into the house.

Pete however. But will he stay with
me. or will he run home to you at the
first opportunity"

chap said confidently. and then ne
turned to the bull terrier VINO was
watching him closely
Come here. Pete" he COMMANDED

toward me.
Excuse me, please. Mis- Gramie.'' he
said respectfully, and then he stroked
my sleeve and patted 1t, talking to the
dog the while.
Mice lady. Pete he said ilsinuat-
ngly. "Seer Your lady now. Go long
with her.-and stay with ner. Remember
don't come back"
William evidently firmly believed that
the dog understood every word of his
exhortation- And as far as the dog S
actions went. his belief was justified.
for Pete listened attentively, cooking
up one ear in ludicrous fashion. And
when William had finished Pete gave a
short bark. then walked with the slow
dignity which only a bull terrier has,
over to me, and standing in front of
me. looked up into my face, wagging
his stump of a tail violently.
You see. Mis- Gramier' William said
triumphantiy: He'll stay with you
now. no matter what comes.'
Good doggie.' said, STOPPING to nat

homely sound gave me the first sense
OF security I'd felt for days. There was
wonderful strength and courage in
every line of the animal; his furnishing
jaw" looked capable of taking care of
an opponent no matter how formidable
and fidelity looked out of his red trimmed
eyes-ugly enough to the lover of out
ward beauty. but under the circum-
stances exceedingly attractive to me.
VIII They Follow?
Accompanied by William and Pete 7
retraced my steps to the grape arbor
where I gave the old chap some trivial
directions concerning the vines. II
wasn't necessary to explain to him that
they were only camouf1age intended to
mislead the eyes which I was sure were
still watching me from the other side of
the hedge.
Then with Pete ambling contentedIv
by my side. I went on to the street and
turned my face toward the centre of the
village, wondering if the espionage Of
the men next door would extend to INV
personal movements, or whether it WA
confined to a study of our household.

Miss Ballinger is of medium height
