Belt Line Diversified.

The best line of the new frOcks Is as
diversified as one can imagine. There
are belts of all degrees of width. There
is still the beltless frock that has a
girdle drawn loosely about the hips.
and there are occasional high-waisted
belts The tendency in the new frOcks
is to emphasize the normal waistline
however. and this probably means the
persistence of the separate belt Of
leather or embroidered silk.

There was no chance of overpowering

on bare table.

they had been sitting, and put on great
coats of fur. The lamp light within
quivered in the wind from the open
door. Milky was quite calm now.
His heart beat its regular seventy-two,

grim humor, that the chancellor would

Milky Does Reckless Thing.
Milky Larisch had been having an

First of all, he exchanged garments
with the chauffeur and cursed his own
long legs. which proved difficult to
cover adequately. But the chauffeur's
long fur ulster helped considerably.
The exchange was rather ticklisis

had he not found a revolver in the

Behold. then. Milky of the brave
