child's pinafore, Of either black or
cream. girdled at the hips with cloth
of silver and lined with a slip Of
silver.
The designers do not feel that they
must walk in the straight and narrow
path when making street blouses. They
try out curious experiments in this
line of apparel. They invent wondrous
ways of suggesting sleeves or cutting
the outline of the neck
There Is a dark blue georgette
tunic-blouse which shows it's design
er's ingenuity in sleeves made from
pendent stripes of thin black silk braid.
These are caught at shoulder and
wrist and swing loose from the bare
arm.
Crepe de chine and georgette are
acceptable fabrics for these street and
informal blouses.
The lining is usually of China silk
or some other exceedingly soft fabric.
The length is half way between knees
and hips, and the garment is intended
to go over an uncorseted figure:
1t is not necessary, as the public
KNOWS, to have ones skirt match ones
tunic-blouse. Therein is the simplicity
and the economy of time, if not Of
money. One or two skirts serve the
purpose. Half dozen or more blouses
may be added thereunto.
The woman who likes to take up a
certain scheme of dressing for one
season has her chance in this COM
bination. She may appear as brilliant
as Turner sunset or as demure as a
London day. according to her caprice
and her social engagements

and give an easy movement in walk
ing. Some of the new coats are made
with rounded panels at the back to
match these skirts. The sleeves are
also rounded at the wide, bell-shaped
edge.
Remember that it is not fashionable
to have any skirt hem even. No mat
ter what the method employed, the
effect must be that Of an uneven hem.
This is especially true of evening
gowns, where the drapery must pull
the hem into various lines as it closes
around the ankles.
Vivid soutache braiding is used this
spring. 1t goes on waistcosts. on col

Callot's costume called Carnage"
after the frock worn by the famous
Spanish dancer of the eighteenth CEN
fury. continues to create widespread
sensation. 1t is believed by all the
prophets, who sense a change, that
eighteenth century clothes will appear
on the horizon when the summer
breaks in Paris. This phase of dress
may surprise the public. but it will
rot surprise the prophets. They
realize that history repeats itself.
Frills and ribbons, jewels and gar
lands, panniers and founces, white
wigs and jeweled headdresses, will be
the fashion, il the prophets are right.
The launching Of the Camargo gown
by Callot is merely an evidence OF the
fact that the great designers are feel
ing their way toward revolution In
style.

The directoire idea was to put as
little as possible on the body. and. nat
uraily, q good deal Of indecency re-
suited. The idea Of the hour Is not
to permit indecency. but to go back to
all the orientalism Of dress. which is.
after all, the classic idea that stimu-
lated the leaders Of the directoire.

club which dominates all the others
in New York, but it is wise to try to
get in under some teacher who will
instil into your brain, heart and tenn
permanent the sturdy belief that to
stand on your head is to beckon to
health. and to make cult Of health
is to be success.
Now. among the votaries of these
acrohatics for health's sake, there is
a fashion for this simple frock that
dispenses with the hook and has it's
sash run through buttonhole on each
hip.
These gowns, made of linen. crepe
de chine, heavy jersey cloth. calico and
Bingham, will be worn in the summer,
in and out of the house.
OF course, the votaries Of the new
cult do not wear corsets, and the
French fashionable do not wear cor
sets, SO simplicity in clothes seems to
be galloping back over the horizon.
The French women have taken up
the simplicity of the directoire in
abandoning corsets. in, returning to
round garters to keep up the stock
ings, to chemises Of crepe de chine,
and then this frock, which has no
fastening, but winds about the hips
and ties with sash.
France wears these gowns six inches
below the knees. America wears them
six or eight inches above the floor;
SHORTER each week. so they may be al
most to the knees by the time this
story Is printed.
The conservatives do no adopt the
short skirt, but the fashionable wom-
en- are divided between long skirts for
evening and short ones for the street
and the country.
Whatever else Is worn. the sheath
skirt is abandoned, but the hem re-
mains limited and rather tight on all
skirts.
One is constrained to believe, there
fore, from the evidence in hand, that
the apparel Of the directoire has gained
more Of q foethold. than the public
knows.
This does not mean that the con-
tour Of directoire frocks has been al
together accepted; it means that the
idea IL here. and 1t prevails.
This idsa Is one Of extreme SIM

the various methods BY which q wom-
ans body - incased has been abap-

ever IL conhning has been aban-
doned. Whatever is restraining has
been thrown to the winds.
The corset has gone out of fashion

the conservatives will believe, and 1t

NEW WAISTCOATS.

IT Is possible to buy the most attrac-
4 tive waistcoats, really at almost any
price one wishes to pay, and the clever
woman can achieve good results with
these waistcoats. Some of them are Of
peplum length, to be worn with suit
coats, and others do not reach to the
waistline, but are made to be worn
with frocks that require a little set-in
waistcoat.
One Of the short kind is made Of
white organdy. There Is rolling col

continues down each side Of the front

CHAPTER XVI.
The Laurel to the Brave.

The heart of the man was like a
weight in his bosom. With so many
hundred acres of forest on fire, and
that, too, between the abandoned camp
and The Corners and Sunrise Cove,
how would Amanda Parlow and Caro-
Ign May know where to go?
Certainly the place must have been
deserted in haste. There was Carolyn
Mays coat. The man caught it up and
stared around, ms though expecting the
child to be within sight.
The old woman's clothing was scat
tered about, too. It did not look as
though anything had been removed
from the hut. Coming out, he found
another article on the threshold-One
of Amanda's gloves.
Joseph stagg lifted the crumpled
glove to his lips.
"Oh, God, spare herl" he burst forth.
Spare them bothi"
Then he kissed the glove again and
hid it away In the inner pocket Of his
vest.
The hardware dealer tried to think
Of just what the fugitives might have
done when they escaped from the
cabin.
If it were true that Amanda would
not run toward the fire, then she more
than likely had taken the opposite d.
rection on leaving the cabin. There
fore, Joseph Stagg went that way-set-
ting Off down the tote road, leading
Cherry by his birdie.
Suddenly he remembered calling
Prince the day Carolyn May had been
lost on the ice. He raised his voice In
a mighty shout for the dog now.
"Princel Princey, old boyl where
are your"
Again and again he called, but there
was no reply. The smoke was more
sitting and the heat more intense
every minute. Mr.. Stage realized that
he must get out quickly if he would
save himself and the horse.
He had just stepped into the buck
board again, when there was an ex-
cited scrambling in the underbrush,
and a welcoming bark was given.
"Princel Good boyl" the man shout
ed. 'Where are they?"
The excited dog few at him, leaping
on the blackboard so as to reach him.
The mongrel was delighted, and
showed it as plainly as q dumb brute
could.
But he was anxious, too. He leaped
back to the ground, ran a little ahead,
and then looked back to. see if the man
was following. The hardware dealer
shouted TO him again:
go ahead, Princeyl We're comingln
He picked up the reins and Cherry
started. The dog. barking his satisfac-
ton, ran on ahead and struck into
side path which led down a glade. Jo-
seph Staeg knew Immediately where
this path led to. There was spring
and small morass in the bottom of
the hollow.

At the usual hour he started for The
Corners for dinner. Having remained
I'm the store all the morning, he had
not realized how much stronger the
smell of smoke was than 1t had been

he quickened his pace.

Stagg said, without taking offense at

"Yes. And I'd decided on taking

Joseph Stage went straight ahead.
and without answering. Having once
decided on his course, he wasted no
time.
He rolled back the big door and saw
Cherry already harnessed in his box
stall.
Together they backed the animal be-
tween the shafts, fastened the traces,
and Mr.. Stage leaped quickly to the
seat and gathered up the reins.

the carpenter shouted after him. "And
have care drivin' Cherry"
Horse and blackboard whirled out of
the yard and his voice was lost to the
hardware merchant.
Cherry stepped out splendidly, and
they left a cloud of dust behind them
as they rolled up the pike, not in the
direction of the abandoned camp. Fore
warned, he did not seek to take the
shortest way to the cabin where
Amanda Parlow and Carolyn May were
perhaps even now threatened by the
forest fire. The Fallow road turned
north from the pike three miles from
The Corners.
Flecks of foam began to appear on
Cherry's glossy coat almost at once.
The air was very oppressive, and there
was no breeze.
The streak Of flame that had fol-
lowed down the banks of West

/ brook moved mysteriously. He could
see the smoke Of it now.
Amanda Parlow and his niece might
even now be threatened by the flames
Now that danger threatened the
woman he had loved all these years, ii
seemed as though his mind and heart
were numbed. He was terrified be-
ty, and terrified for fear that some
body, even Jedidiah Parlow, should
suspect Just how he felt about it.
The horses hoofs rang sharply over
the stony path. Presently they capped
a little ridge and started down into
hollow. Not until they were over the
ridge was Mr.. Stagg aware that the
hollow was filed, chokingly filed, with
billowy white smoke.
Another man-one as cautious as
the hardware merchant VIGOROUSLY
was-would have pulled the horse
down to walk. But Joseph Stages
csutiousness had been flung to the
winds. Instead, he shouted to Cherry,
and the beast increased his stride.
Ten rods further on the horse snort
ed, stumbled, and tried to stop. A
writing, flaming snake-a burning
branch-plunged down through the
smoke directly ahead.
go on" shouted Joseph Stage, with
a sharpness that would ordinarily have
set Cherry off at a gallon.
But, as the snorting creature still
SHE'D, the man seized the whip and
dashed poor Cherry cruelty along his
flank.
At that the horse went mad. He
plunged forward, leaped the blazing
brand, and galloped down the road at
a perilous gait. The man tried neither
to soothe him nor to retard the pace.
The smoke swirled around them.
The driver could not see ten feet be-
yond the horses nose. Ten minutes
later they ratified down into the
straight road, and then, very soon,
indeed, were at the abandoned camp.
The fire was near, but it had not
reached this place. There was no sign
of life about.
The man knew which was Judy's
cabin. He leaped from the vehicle,
leaving the painting Cherry unhitched,
and ran to the hut.
The door swung open. The poor
furniture was in place. Even the bed
clothing was rumpled in the old wom-
ans bunk. But neither she nor Aman-
da Parlow nor little Carolyn May was
there.

COAST LEAGUE T0BE IN GAME
 THIS SEASON

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. All in dicatiOns are that the Pacific Coast Baseball League will resume the game next season, and that followers of the national sport on the coast will be provided with q regular schedule. Officials connected with the Coast league are sanguinc that there will be d revival in all lines of sport, in which baseball will participate.
 Plans are now in the making for holding a meeting of the Pacific Coast league officials some time dur ing January, when the various details for the season will be taken up. There has been some talk of reducing the regular playing schedule. Heretofore the coast players have been the first of the country's league to begin the season. the opening series being played after the first week in April. That the season may be started q 1919 seems quite possible.
 The matter of railroad fares will have considerable to do with the makeup of the teams in the league. It is hoped that before the season be. gins there will be a reduction in fares to something approXimating prc-war days. With the present high cost of travelling. considerable doubt is eX- pressed as to the feasibility of the Salt Lake City club being included. It always has been long and eXpen- sive trip. even at best, and under present conditions those interested are dubious as to the advisability of attempting the long jump.
 There appear to be no misgivings as to the ability of all the clubs to SC cure the service of the necessary players to make up their respective playing quotas. The majority of the men who played last year. up to the time the game was abandoned on ac- count of the war. are said to be available and ready to sign contracts Also there will be many good men released from the army and navy who were unable to take part last year. due to the call to the colors.

LONG-TERM SENATOR
 TO BE DECIDED BY DICE

SHERIDAN, Wyo., Jan. A throw of the dice will determine which of two state senators elected at the last state election to represent Lincoln county in the state legislature shall serve the long term.
 Lincoln county, which is a newly created county, elected both of the senators-Cranney and Gardner-for fOuryear terms.
 No provision was made for deciding which should hold office for four years, being the "hold-over" senator at the next election, and which should serve only two years, so the senators will have recourse to the dice to make the decision.
