still shaking with passion.
'But don't understand" said Victor
Torrance, dazedly. "Does Mr.. Peter
son not believe in our teachings, too?"
He turned slowly and looked at Hugh,
who shrugged his shoulders.
'He should be here at any moment"
he answered, and as he spoke the door
opened and Carl Peterson came in.
"Good. afternoon, gentlemen" he be-
gan, and then he saw Hugh. With
look Of speechless amazement ne
stared at the soldier, and for the first
time since Hugh had known him his
face blanched. Then his eyes fell on

them sparingly.
1t has been pointed out that grace
OF movement as well as pleasing de

he creates as possessing motion. He
must think Of the moving figure Of
the woman who wears them, not
merely of the static proportions Of her
form. And many Of the trimmings
that will be used most generously
this season will be trimmings that add
to the grace Of motion.

"What's troubling me-" remarked
Hugh later, "is what t. do with Carl
