And now she had confessed she

almost sure-she loved him.
She tried to make her thoughts
clearer by taking it over with her
mother.

remarked. You talk like all the COL

For those lovely sunshiny days
when wraps are shed Larvin suggests
this charming variation of the jumper
dress. OF a heavy quality of crepe de
chine 1t Is made. In a delightful shade
of amber. Back and front panels are
cut with extended sides which gather
up their extra fulness on jade green
velvet ribbon AS the sketch illustrates
and all edges are self-bound.
The kimona sleeves are sewed to
a lining, so the panels may hang
gracefully loose from the shoulders.
Completely innocent of any adorn-
ment, the neck Is round and moder-
ately low. finished only with q pert
little crepe de chine bow.
One OF those new turbans made of
picot straw and gold tulle. with a
sheer Chantilly veil, completes this
ingeniously simple frock. which is as
suitable for wear ut an office as II
is lovely for tea or matinee.

an expert write the prescription and
administer the dosc-otherwisc the

Battery has been killed instead of
cured"

it shows q weakness is to add little
more acid. Then it ought to work
better"
