Clad in high choker collars Of fur

fashion correspondent, the models sll
over town are tripping the platforms
Of the fashion shows. These parties
are for the retail buyers only, but as
they think, so shall the country dress,

note of the things to which the buyers

dismayed by the thing that confronts
her, yet driven to buying and wearing
It.
Some Of the gowns being shown are
good, but all Of them do not keep up to
the highest standard. It leads In the
direction of ornate decoration, and
they are apt to be very bad. The
buyers tell you-and they should know
that women are asking for all this
oversupply Of decoration. Perhaps
they are.
Fortunately the general lines Of the
silhouette are straight and short and
simple. In other words. they are very
good and susceptible Of infinite varia-
tiona Long waists predominant, and
when they are not long then they are
very, very short, giving an extremely

A series of panels for skirt Is still
one of the favorfte ways of making a
frock of lightweight material. There
are ruffles Of black lace. plaitings of
soft chiffon, accordion plaits of serge,
and side plaits very finely done Of
satin. There was even shown model
Of broadcloth made with a skirt en-
Arely covered by succession Of cir
cular flounces.
Evening gowns continue to show a
great deal of shoulder and back. We
heard from Paris not long ago that
when the back was low it was draped
nth a thin layer Of lace. but this does
not seem to be the idea with American
makers. More and more back up

bodice as the law allows. An evening
dress Is at it's very smartest when it
IS entirely a matter Of draping, and
clever draping at that. One made by

70 MAKE AND HOLD FRIENDS
knack That Can Be Acquired by Most
People, and Is Well Worth
the Having.

Few people are naturally blessed
with the happy faculty Of making
friends easily. With most people It
Is more or less an acquired art. II
you wish to acquire this art, don't
be discouraged at the apparent ease
with which some Of your friends seem
to "get on" with everybody. They've
only learned a few more Of the
tricks. Of the trade" so to speak,
than you have. That's all. The main
point is that they have learned them.
A person who would have friends
must show himself friendly. Just you
try 1t and see If It doesn't act like a
charm.
Half the battle is to meet people as
II it may be taken for granted that
they are glad to see you. and that
you are glad to see them. Nine cases
out Of ten If you are genuinely glad
to see them and show 1t they will be
glad to see you.
Don't always expect the other per-
son to make the advances If there is
no good reason why you shouldn't
make them. Sometimes the very per.
sons who seem most ''unapproacha-
BILE" turn out to be quite willing to be
friendly If they are approached In the
right way. Look for the good In pe0'
ple. always, and you will be very sure
to find 1t.

together, and indeed I had kind of
contempt for them, as folk always
have II they live near a border. But
the two regiments that were with us
now were as good comrades as could
be wished. The Fifty-second had n
thousand men in the ranks, and there
were many old soldiers Of the PENN
su1a among them. They came from
Oxfordshire for the most part. The
Nlnety-1fth were rifle regiment. and
had dark-green coats instead Of red.
It was strange to see them loading, for
they would put the ball in greasy
rag and then hammer it down with
mallet, but they could fire both farther
and straighter than we. All that part
Of Belgium was covered with British
troops at that time, for the Guards
were over near Enghien. and there
were cavalry regiments on the farther
side of us. You see, It was very nee
essary that Wellington should spread
out all his force, for Boney was be-
hind the screen Of his fortresses, and
Of course we had no means Of saying
On what side he might pop out, except
that he was pretty sure to come the
way that we least expected him. On
the one side he might get between us
and the sea, and so cut us OF from
England; and on the other he might
shove in between the Prussians and
ourselves. But the Duke was as clever
us he, for he had his horse and his
light troops all around him, like
great spiders web. so that the moment
French foot stepped across the bor-
der he could close up all his men at
the right place.
For myself. 1 was very happy at
Ath, and found the folk very kindly
and homely. There was a farmer of
the name Of Bois, in whose fields we
were quartered, who was a real good
friend to many Of us. We built him
a wooden barn among us in our spare
time, and many a time l and Jeb Sea-

though I think 1t hardly likely, for
they were Of a hale middle age at the
time. Jim would come with us too
sometimes. and would sit with us
smoking in the big Flemish kitchen,
but he was a different Jim now to the
old one. He had always had hard
touch in him, but now his trouble
seemed to have turned him to flint,
and never saw smile upon his face,
and seldom heard a word from his lips.
His whole mind was set on revenging
himself upon De Lissac for having
taken Edie from him, and he would
sit for hours, with his chin upon his
hands, glaring and frowning, all
wrapped up in the one idea. This
made him bit Of butt among the
men at first, and they laughed at him
for it; but when they came to know
him better they found that he was not
good man to laugh at, and they
dropped 1t.

Japanese Masks Of Shame.

One Of the most unusual features Of
a Japanese court to stranger is. the
fact that each prisoner has his head
covered by a wicker mask. more like
an inverted waste-basket than any
thing else, the object Of which is to
prevent recognition Of the prisoner, to
permit him to hide his shame under
the disguise and. very possibly, to pre-
vent him from making bolt for lib
erty.
The sight Of a prisoner 50 arrayed is
CHASTITY, the mask bringing up the sug-
