SOME NEW PARIS
IDEAS IN GOWNS

Here are two sketches Of costume
which may truthfully be called "the
newest Of the new" writes leading
Paris fashion correspondent. It IL a
Premet model and 1t represents all
that is original and novel In the Paris
world Of dress. Here you have the
true Louis XIV outline. A robe made
of taffetas In two shades of peacock
blue, mounted over black lace under
dress and finished with a plain. tight
fitting corsage.
This corsage fastens, almost invisi-
bly,. down the back and It is important
to observe that the neck opening is
quite unexpected, In front 1t Ia cut
round while ut the back there is n
peak, ending In a small bow. This Is
one of Premet's new ideas and this
particular model has had great sue
cess. It will be copied widely and In
many different materials.
You will see that the skirt is made
In two parts, one side in pale blue
silk and the other in darker shade
The corsage is In the light color, with
cuffs of darker blue. Absolutely no
trimming is introduced on the corsage.
This is IN idea which is generally fol-
lowed by the leading dressmakers Of
the Rue de la Paix. Nowadays one
rarely sees an deliberately trimmed
bodice, and many Of the more expen.
sive models are plain, as indicated in
the sketch.

these fitted corsages are worn over

Talk Into Your Telephone

There are two ways to make telephone
call and to carry on telephone conversation.
The zvrOng way is to humble the num-
Der to the operator, to be inattentive to her
repetition, and then, when you get the con-
nechon, to talk at your telephone without
regard to its distance from your lips.
The right way is to give the number to
The operator clearly and distinctly, to lis
ten for her repetition Of the number and Gc-
knOzVledge it, and then to talk directly
into the telephone, with your lips close to
the hansmitter, giving your whole attention
to the telephone conversation.
The right way will help you to geteven
quicker and more accurate connections and
will make your telephone conversations
more efficient.
Always talk DIRECTLY into your telephone

admit them" said Seti Mote,
Ana, how yonder old time-server
turns his face from the setting sun.
This morning even it would have
been "to see your Highness," UT
tered with bows so low that his
beard swept the floor. Now it is
to see you,' and not so much as an
inclination of the head in common
courtesy. This, moreover, from one
who has robbed me year by year
and grown fat on bribes."
While he mused thus and, having
no comfort to offer, / listened sad
at heart. Merapi entered, and a
moment after her the wild-eyed
messenger whom we had seen in
PhaFaoh's Court, and her uncle
Jabez, the cunning merchant.
You know my demand, Prince"
he said. 1T Is that this woman
should be returned to her people.
Jabez, her uncle, will lead her
away"
"And you know my answer, Israe-
lite" answered Seti. 1T is that /

the going of the lady Merapi, or, at
least, wish to claim none. Address
yourself to her."
What is it you wish with me,
Priest?" asked Merapi quickly.
That you should return to the
town Of Goshen, daughter Of Ma
than. Have you no ears to hear?"
Il hear, but if return, what win
you Of me?"
That you who have proved your
self prophecies by your deeds in
yonder temple should dedicate your
powers to the service of your peo-
pie, receiving In return full for
giveness for the evils you have
wrought against them, which we
swear to you in the name Of God"

this dreaming of mine will lead me
TO worldly loss and shame. Even
Of that am not sure. The thought
comes to me that It may lead me to
those very baubles on which you
set your heart, but by one paved
with the bones of men and reeking
with their gore. Crowns that are
bought with the promise Of blood
and held with cruelty are apt to be
lost IN blood, Userti."

Then this priest became terrible.

The messenger turned and glared
at him.
There is a great difference be-
tween yesterday and to-day" went
on Jabez, hurriedly. Yesterday
you were protected by one who
would soon be Pharaoh, and might
have been able to move his mind
in favor Of your folk. To-day his
greatness is stripped from him, and
his will has no more weight in
Egypt. A dead lion is not to be
feared, my niece"
Seti smiled at this insult, but Me-
rapfs face, like my own, grew red,
as though with anger.
Sleeping lions have been taken
for dead ere now, my uncle, as
those who would spurn them have
discovered to their cost. Prince
Seti, have you no word to help me
in this strait?'
What is the strait, Lady? If you
wish to go to your people and-to
Laban, who, / understand, is re-
covered from his hurts, there is
naught between you and me save
my gratitude to you which gives
me the right to say you shall not
go. II, however, you wish to stay,
then perhaps ! am still not so pow
erless to shield or smite as this
worthy Jabez thinks, who still re-
main the greatest lord in Egypt and
one with those that love him.
Therefore should you desire to re-
main. I think that you may do so
unmolested Of any, and least of all
by that friend IN whose shadow 1t
pleases you to sojourn."
Those are very gentle words"
murmured Merapi; words that few
would speak to a maid from whom

Without doubt you are to be

"AHd II / Fefuse?"
Then, Daughter Of Nathan, it is
my part to curse you in the name
Of God, and to declare you cut on
an outcast from the people Of God.
Il Is my part to announce to you
further that your life Is forfeit, and
that any Hebrew may kill you
when and how he can, and take no

Merapi paIed q little, then turn
ing to Jabez, asked:
"You have heard, my uncle.

Jsbez looked round shiftily, and
said in his unctuous voice:

Farewell, Userti, who, l fear,

Then he watched her go, and
turning to me, said:
To-day, Ana, have lost both
crown and a wife, yet strange to
tell / do not know which of these
calamfties grieves me least. Yet It
is time that fortune turned. Or
mayhap all the evils are not done.
Would you not 90 also, Ana? Al
though she gibes at you In her
anger, the Princess thinks well OF
you, and would keep you IN her
service. Remember, whoever falls

one left in Egypt who remembers

pressed it.
At that moment the door opened
and old Pambasa entered, saying:

Then the man died.

or IN those Of the temples, and

lovely gardens or, perchance, sail

The Lady Merapi dwelt there also,
but in q separate wing Of the pal
ace, with certain slaves and ser
wants whom Seti had given to her
Sometimes we met her in the gar
dens, where it pleased he- to walk
at the same hours that we did.
Then the three OF us. would talk
together, for Seti never sought her
company alone or within walls.
Those talks were very pleasant.
Moreover they grew more frequent
as time went on, since Merapi had
a thirst for learning. and the Prince
would bring her rolls to read IN a
little SuAlmer house there was.
Sometimes, too, l read them stories
Of my making, to which it pleased
them both to listen, or so they said,

Nor was Merapi altogether lone

Memphis certain ladies who had
Hebrew blood in their veins, or
were born Of the Israelites and had
married Egyptians against their
law. Among these she made
friends, and together they WOF-

none to say them nay. since here
no priests were allowed to trouble
them.
For our part we held intercourse
with as many as We pleased, since
few forgot that Seti was by blood
the Prince Of Egypt, that is, a man
almost half divine, and all we're
eager to visit him. Also he was
much beloved for his own sake and
more particularly by the poor,
whose wants 1t was his delight to
relieve to the full limit of his
wealth. Thus ii came about that

against his will, he was received
