accept my word without a question.
Ihese men are not pirates, but honest
seamen compelled to serve in order to
save their lives; they mutinied and
captured the bark, but were later over
come, and compelled to take the boats.
The same plea can be made for you,
Geoffry, only you were there in an eff
fort to save me. 1t is service which
ought to win you freedom. If the gov.
ernor fail me, / will bear my story to
the feet of the king. | am a Fairfax,
and we have friends in England, strong,
powerful friends"
Il am convinced" I admitted, after
a pause, 'that this course is the wiser
one, but fear the opposition of the
men. They will never go willingly"
There is an argument which will
overcome their fear. mean cupidity.
Each sailor aboard has an interest in
the salvage of this vessel under the
English law. Also there must be gold
ebOard-perhaps treasure also. Let
the crew dream that dream and you
will need no whip to drive them into
an English port"
"Full pardon, and possibly wealth
with it" ! laughed. "a beautiful
scheme, Dorothy, yet it might work.
Still, if know sailormen, they would
doubt the truth, If it came direct from
me, for I am not really one of them"
But Watkins is. Explain it all to
him; tell him who 1 am, the influence
1 can WELD in the colony, and then let
him whisper the news to the others.
Will you not do this-for my sake?"
"Yes," 1 answered; II believe you
have found the right course. If you
will promise to lie down and sleep
will talk with Watkins now. 1 may
catch some catnaps before morning,
but most of the time shall be prowling
about deck. Good night. dear girl"
She extended her arms, and drew me
down until our lips met.
"You are actually afraid of me STILL"
she said. "Why should you be?"
Somehow, Dorothy, you have al

looked just as we'll with trousers as
with skirts-a thing which could not
be said of all waists or blouses. OF
course trousers were a part Of the
gardening days, and while they have
retired at least from general service
rs far as woman's need for them
goes, the smock remains, glorifed be-
gond it's most humble followers rec
ignition.
Of great beauty are those over
blouses of midnight blue wolfe closely
pailleted all over with round silver
disks and held in place with thick
cord of silver threads. This Is to be
worn with a skirt of silk or sport
satin or gabardine and makes
pleasing costume. The printed chif-
fons have been extensively used for
the type of blouse. One seldom sees
them without a belt of some sort,
generally a heavy silken cord which
encircles the waist and loops in front
with heavy tassels or fringe.
If the smock is worn under the coat
rarely is it seen now worn in this way
without ones coat or sweater. The
smock of the unbelted variety has a
decidedly dressing sacque look, but so
many women understand so cleverly
the adaptation of every mode that we
are spared an avalanche of ladies APP
parently abroad in their breakfast
coats or boudoir jackets.
A Lovely Smock Blouse.
One of the most beautiful Of all the
smock type Of blouses seen lately is
of finest indestructible white wolfe,
braided all over in fine white silk
braid in circle design. The bottom OF
the blouse has hem of white silk
faced back onto the blouse. A vest is
cut at the front and piped with white
silk. Two silken buttons caught to-
gether with loops Of the narrow braid
fasten it at the throat. 1t slips over
the head in kimono fashion and a
heavy silken cord of white slips
around the waist and loops in front.
This charming thing is to be worn
with white skirts Of satin or silk or
crepe.
A curious concession to the over
blouse notion is found in many elabo-
rate waists of chiffon or georgette
with the front piece left long enough
to go over the skirt and the back, stop
ping just at the waist line. The belt
of the skirt slipped over the front
panel gives the effect when worn I'M
der a coat or a vest. The blouse, OF
course, buttons down the back. The
vestee lives on and on and appears
Just as often on simple waists of wash
fabric as 1t does on the more elabor-
ate type.
One finds waists of georgette with
vests made by using frill after frill
of narrow Valenciennes lace. Always
the vestee is simulated by leaving the
front panel longer than the back so
that it hangs over the skirt. Just as
cften one finds hem OF some con-
trasting color to the body of the
blouse added, the contrasting color
appearing on collar and sleeves also.

HOW SAVINGS HABIT

On New Years day 1923, there will

dend payments to American people,

terest.
These great dividend days bring
American bankers new opportunities
and also responsibilities. How can
new thrift habits be linked to thrift
institutions? How can this money,
the product of thrift, be modified for
further work?
Already the bankers are working
with the Treasury Department TO
continue thrift habits. For people who
save money there is a wide range OF
thrift institutions that will take
charge Of funds, put them to work
safely, and return good earnings. As
the government plans to borrow by
general education OF thrift in every
kind, so the banks and thrift institu-
tions can aid the government by en-
couraging general thrift and building
bigger business themselves.
One Of the first steps to be taken by
bankers is that of spreading informa-
ton about banks, life insurance, build
ing and loan associations, federal farm
loans, and all other thrift institutions.
The best way to meet Uncle Sans
borrowing needs is to promote thrift
on the broadcast possible lines.
Every dollar deposited in a savings
bank becomes available for national
finance. Every life insurance policy
sold is equivalent to an indirect loan
to the government. Every obligation
assumed by thrifty people such as
building mortgage Is q stimulus TO
production and saving. and therefore,
as much national service as the di.
rect purchase OF government securi
ties. In placing these matters clearly
before everybody in his community
