velopment of the tunic skirt which
is destined to reappear in winter
gowns. The embroidered band on the
back portion is not so wide as it is on
the front.
The sleeves and collar are especial
ly interesting because they are both
new departures. Both are as plain as
possible but each is original. The
sleeves are cut full length and flaring
but are trimmed away at the wrist I'M
til the upper portion extends only a
few inches below the elbow. The up
standing collar is of black crepe georg-
cite and is supported by a few very
small, unnoticeable wires.

Now that women feel 1t a duty to
make afternoon gowns do service for
evening wear, the ingenuity of costum-
ers is put to the test. From n of
the great Paris designers ome the
lovely gown pictured above and it is
q triumph of French discernment and
good taste; for it is quiet enough for
daytime wear and distinguished
enough for evening. 1t is of black
satin with embroidery in silver thread.
This combination appears also in
French millinery from the most au-
thoritative sources, but in hats black
frame velvet is used instead of satin.
We may accept this gown as a critic
rion in hues and general make up of
styles for the coming season. 1t has
a narrow, plain underskirt of moderate
length and a straight hanging over-gar-
ment vaguely confined to the figure by
an easy girdle terminating in sash
ends. The girdle is made of satin
and that portion that encircles the
waist is embroidered while the sash
ends are plain. The skirt portion of
the overdress is as long as the under
skirt at the back and considerably

per Syndicate)
Nina Bolton looked at the check in
her hand and groaned. Three hundred
dollars-and she had expected at least
three thousand. To think that her
hopes had been dashed to the ground
in such a way. 1t was unkind of her
Aunt Matilda to leave her fortune to
her husbands nephew and leave such
a Spaltry sun to her, her own niece.
When she had been notified that she
was n of the beneficiaries of the will
she had packed her things for a vaca-
ton. Her days of hard work were over
for a time, she decided, but now she
could see nothing before her but long
tedious days in the Office. Seven years
was too long to be a st~enographer and
she was heartily sick of it. The very
thought of a typewriter made her head
ache. If the check had been for three
thousand she would have been able to
take a long vacation-a year at the
very least. Her aunt could just as well
have left her three thousand as three
hundred from her estate of over three
hundred thousand dollars.
Nina had been SC eager to see the
check she hadn't read all the accom-
panying letter. When she started to
read where she had left off, she cried
out in dismay: "Your aunt has be-
queathed her pet. dog, Pifles, to you,
and asks in her will that you be kind
to him." Nina's voice pitched higher at
each word.
"The very idea !" Nina exclaimed
aghast. "a dogl What shall / do with
it?"
Before she could decide upon an an
swer to this question a loud rap sound
ed on her door, and she heard a bark
from the outside. Pifles had arrived.
Nina signed for the box before she
knew what she was doing and the ex-
pressman left her alone with the craft
ed dog. One look at the little fellow,
biting eagerly at the Stats on top, BAN
ished all Nina's fears.
"Piffies, you roguel" she cried, as
she fastened to get a hammer to set
him free. He was the most delighted
dog in the world when given his free
dom. He danced around his new mis-
tress in glee.
"You are the cutest dog l ever saw"
she said, picking him up and hugging
him. II always did love Boston ter
riers."
Pifles was given his supper and
Nina had her own. She sat him up in
a chair to view his good points. Its

Why We Hear Heart Throbs.

The cause of the sound of normal
heart beats has not been definitely
ascertained. There are normally two
sounds-the first, which is called
systolic, is dull and somewhat pro-
longed; it is followed quickly by the
second, called diastolic, which is
shorter and sharper. A pause follows
the second sound. 1t is supposed that
the vibration and closure of the valves
between the auricles and ventricles Is
one of the causes of the first sound;
the contraction Of the ventricles, or
the striking of the heart against the
walls of the chest, may be the cause.
The second sound is known to be
caused by the vibration produced by
the closure of the semilunar valves.
