observed then that she seemed to be greatly agitated. Involuntarily sprang to my rect and removed my hat, feeling certain that she had mis- taken me for someone else.
 Sk. looked straight at me with an odd tightening of the lips. Into her great dark eyes came q look ins which pride and fear seemed to mingle with utter loathing.
 T am here" she said.
 In my confusion l mumbled some thing, hardly knew what. She look ed me up and down with puzzled air and raised her hand to red carna- ton she was wearing.
 You were to wear one, too"
 "I don't understand" I answered. ]
 Didn't you" she asked hesitating- ly, didn't you come here about the papers"
 "What papers?"
 'You know"
 q don't know" I replied. q know nothing about any papers. You must have mistaken me for someone else"
 "But this was the place-this bench the first bench?"
 Il sat down here quite by accident"
 "Oh!" she exclaimed with . sigh of relief. And you're not wearing red carnatlon. either
 recalled then with misgiving that the ill-favored youth who just < mo ment ago had disputed the bench with me had been wearing red carnation. and that he had muttered something about having q date. Yet il did not seem possible that girl of this sort would be having q rendezvous with scamp like him. determined if possible to ascertain the girls mis- siun

THE splendid open coat which ap-
 1 pears here has not been chosen because it is representative of the outer garments worn by women for evening dress; for it is not represent ative. Beautiful but less magnificent is the story of evening wraps in gen eral. This, being costly affair, is interesting as revealing the ample, mantle-like lines that are required of outer garments for evening, and the fact that fur and brocades are more or less lavishly used in many of them
 Capes and mantles divide honors as favorites in this kind of wrap. Capes
 with deep yokes of brocade. having plain velvet gathered on to the yokes, are often finished with narrow bands or fur, set on where velvet and bro- cade are joined and about the collar.
 One of he new capes of taffeta has deep fitted yoke of the silk with the cape gathered to 1t. Chantilly lace, about three inches wide, and silk net oa polnt d'csprit in alternating ruffles

WHERE is almost as much variety
 A in party frocks as in the people who wear them-whieh makes an as- semblage of dancers immensely inter- esting. It is here that well-dressed women match up their taste in party frocks, and have most opportunity to indulge in individual fancies; they have given themselves the benefit of much latitude in style On any dane ing floor there are draped gowns so long that they only reveal the toes, and other frocks so short that they barely conceal the knees
 Materials influence the designers in their choice of styles. The heavy bro cades and rich materials in heavier silk weaves, are chosen for the draped gowns that follow the lines of the figure and many net and lace frocks are made in this style. Lighter-weight and supple silks are chosen for straight-line dresses, as crepe de chine, georgette and soft satins. Taffeta and organdie lend themselves to the bouf- fanr draperies that widen the hips

or suggest the hustle dress. TaffetaS over lace petticoats are particularly pretty. caught up at the sides, or in the back, revealing the dainty peth- coat below their hens. Georgette and lace dresses are wired to give the broadened hip line and on these, silk or artificial flowers are placed so as to emphasize the style
 One of the last arrivals among party frocks takes advantage of the wired hip line and velvet ribbon to achieve q novelty. This pretty and faneiful frock is shown above, with bodice and skirt of plain satin and short sleeves of net. The skirt is wired rather close to the waistline. Long ends of velvet ribbon, fastened at the top of the low bodice, are looped about the hips and fall nearly to the hem. Each is fin. ished with a point and weighted with q silk-covered ball. The frock has a folded belt of metallic silk. It Is very pretty on the dancing floor with it's flying ends.

UP TO DATE GHOSTS

Fiction readers who like haunted houses and myste- riOuS noises in the night, and ghost doings that baf- fle explanation, should stop, look, and read right here. For "The House of Whis- pers" is well named. It'S even more fascinating than the 0ld-time haunted house, because it's a mystery apartment in a big city buiIding-the lovely heroine, for instance, can creep along a ledge from one Win- dow to another in the dead of night, and a wonder flil pearl necklace can dis appear from a WaII-safe and find it's way back again, and the superintendent and his employees can fasten a charge of murder on the hero, and there might be room in the walls for secret paSsageWays. But there is nothing neW-faShloned or queer about the loyalty and devotion of the heroine for her lover in trouble; it's the same glorious thing that has thrilled Us all ever since true love ceased to run smooth. And of course she gets the reward that she deserves-and they live happily ever after.

CHAPTER l..
---1-

2 With an exclamation of annoyance h crumpled up the note from my great uncle Rufus and flung it on the floor. My disappointment at its contents was the one thing needed to complete the utter misery of q wretched day. Only that morning my roommates, Birge and Roller. fortunate fellows. Ihad been informed that their appllca- Itions for the ambulance service had lbeen accepted. Our year of happy Icompanionship had come to an abrupt lend.
 1 "Cheer up, old man." cried the op- ltimistIc Birge. "'your luck will change some tirne.''
 Right said Roller. as he stopped new kit bag, "a chap as crazy about Adventure as you are is bound to meet her soon"
 "Stop it." I cried in desperation. "It ifs you two who are to have the great opportunity. Soon you'll be seeing lshrapnel burst, airplanes battling, reg Iiments charging, heroes dying, and r. I'll be sitting here alone in hall room, eating my heart out with lone asomeness and a,nyy, spending my days at an uncongehiai desk, and my nights God knows how, after you fellows have gone"
 s.You never can tell" chirped old Birge, "all kinds of strange things hap pen right here in New York. You may be the one that has had a bellyfu of adventure before we return-if we do"
 His last three words gave us all a soldering thought. There was chance, more than a chance, that never again ion this earth would we three be to- gether again. Eight of our college mates had preceded Birge and Roller to the great battlefield. Already three Iof them lay in hero graves somewhere under the lilies of France.
 The silence of a sad parting fell on us The taxicab came and we drove together to the pier with hardly a word spoken.
 As we shook hands at the gang plank old Roller spoke again glis- ten of tears in his eye, something al- most prophetic in his voice.
 Nelson" he said, "I feel 1t in my bones that something is going to hap pen to you soon, something thrilling"
 &f wish to God something would I" answered bitterly.
 Disconsolately waved them q last adieu from the dock. In black mood raiied against the fate that had left me behind, poignantly lamenting tie lack of the eight hundred dollars that VT nd have set me free to accompany them.
 Two letters. thrust under the door 3n lodging house fashion, awaited my Homecoming. One of them recog- 5sized as once as my mothers weekly 1'lilet of good advice, ard tossed aside 10 be read when I was in q better 1rane of mind. The other was in a framped. unfamiliar handwriting.

MONTPELIER

Rev. r.. j. Moore of Columbus, O.,
assistant general superintendent OF
the national organization of the Anti
Saloon league, spoke Sunday evening
at union service in the Methodist
church and told his audience, which
was small one, the reasons why the
organization has work to do and why
it is not leaving the job now, namely
that an effort is being made to modi-
fly the Volstead act In Vermont the
laws do not agree with the federal
laws, so that until they do there is
work in this state, and every other
state, where the laws do not agree
with the federal laws. In states
is taking place and the states cleaned
of the liquor traffic. He said the pris-
ons tell the story whether the 18th
amendment is success. He told of
the effort being made by the brewers
to get the Volstead act amended. He
claimed they are advancing large sums
of money to get around the 18th
amendment, that they do not expect
it will ever be repealed. He referred
to the conduct of the prohibition
agents in several states and said that
if the amendment of the Volstead act
occurred it meant more breweries and
saloons again. He said New Hamp-
shire has more stringent law for en-
forcing the 18th amendment than the
Volstead act provides
Reports from Harold Young, who
suffered broken ankle and bruises
on his head as result of being hit
by an automobile in Boston Friday
afternoon, are favorable. Mr.. and Mrs
George Young, his parents, are with
him.
In the churches Sunday was read a
letter from w. II. Jeffrey, secretary of
the state board of charities, in which
he asked for a penny contribution, the
sum realized to be used in the care of
the Sunshine girl and the little girl
from Waterbury who suffered the am
putation of both legs last summer
The board has custody OF these two
children and plans to educate them.
Someone started a rumor recently
that a certain state officer was after
w. H. Jeffrey's job. The board of
charities, at recent meeting, II Is
understood. endorsed the work which
Mr.. Jeffrey has been doing and passed
a resolution to that effect. Last week
when the reporter asked to see the
record of the meeting he was advised
these were not written up, Mr. 'lef-
FREY would not make statement rel
ative TO the matter, although he did
not deny that some action was taken.
The Womau's club recentlp assed the
following in commentator OF his
work: "The Vermont Federation Of
Woman's Clubs has noted with much
satisfaction the work of the board Of
charities and probation in its child
care department, The work az accom-
plished since the establishment of the
department three years ago meets our
hearty approval and we wish to com
mend William H. jeffrey, the exseu-
tive, for his sympathetic and efficient
administration.
