out violating any trust.
Because somehow | did feel I

! discussed outside the office things
that went on inside the office. And
the more ] thought of that Ave
hundred dollar gold lien note Mr..
Alvarez had given me the more l
felt | was the captain OF a trust,
as il were. and that there was
grave responsibility resting on me.
It's awful to be bound by
promise not to talk.
And it's awful to have to decide
things by oneself. II ] could tell
Willard-not, Of course, that l con-
sidered his opinion of any especial
value. or that l care anything for
him personally-but il / could tell
him that Mr.. Alvarez is very anxious
to meet him. maybe he'd know why.
And maybe he'd tell me.
But l couldn't ask Mr.. Alvarez
why he wanted to meet willard.
And l couldn't-maybe l could have,
but | didn't-ask him how he knew
that knew willard. But he
knew it,
Yesterday afternoon he called me
in his private office, and he said:

suggested.

with some OF that patronizing stuff.
The fact is ! must see him"
But ! don't understand" Grace
said. "If you don't want TO see
him why should you see him.
There's something l can't ex-
plain" j answered making 1t sound
more mysterious perhaps than it
really was. But it-please believe
me, Grace---it hasn't a thing to do
with my marrying willard or my
not marrying him. It's cold bus

to do with my position-with Mr..
Alvarez"

He doesn't" ! answered. Then
realizing that I probably had said
more than l really should have, and
feeling much better for having got
that much off my chest, I shut up

The Latest in
Smart Suits
By Rita Stuyvesant.

N HANY attractive suits OF novel
MI design in navy with a gem
ANA crous sprinkling of tans and
srsys are among the first spring
offerings,
A stunning suit that will find 4
welcome in the heart OF every true
daughter OF Eve is one OF tan
tricotine. The Jacket reaches al
most to the knees and favors
straight, slim lines, nipped in a bit
at the normal waist. 1t is belted
narrowly with self-material and
finished with a small gunmetsl
buckle. Two horizontal slit pock-
cts on either side of the front are
finely tailored and. except for the
bone buttons, supply the only trim
ming.
The skirt Is rather narrow and
little longer than we are accus-
toned to see them just now. 1t is
also favored with the slit pockets
and a belt.
Covert cloth Is again showing
its face to the fashion world after
being absent a few seasons. 1T is
SO durable and almost impossible
to wear out that IL is excellent for
rough and ready sports wear. Some
smart box-cost models show short
flare skirts and high collars and
hang loose and unbelted. These
suits, worn with a gray tam and
wool scarf are unexcelled for golf
and hiking.
Beautifully finished suits In navy
poiret twill and tricotipe present
themselves in new and unusual
models. Lavish embroidery In either
wool or silver thread decoratcs the
Jackets OF favored few, while
others cling to the strictly tailored
effects.
Among the moderate priced suits
for all round occasions there are
splendid values in wool jersey.

mother?
Also, should young man kiss
his future mother-in-law on first
meeting her? ANXIOUS.
The old-time and conventional
way was TO ask the father of the
girl for the hand of his daughter in
marriage. If the young man was
lucky, he then proposed to the girl.
Today | doubt IL one young man in
a thousand asks the father before
he proposes to the girl. Times have
changed. He hasn't time to put the
matter up TO the father first He
wants to know what the young lady
is thinking about 1t. That's the
important factor in his case.

and roll in crumbs OF pastry that
have been previously been Drowned

These are fine for supper, after

to eat chicken, as often happens.
A variation is to add TO the
creamed eggs an equal part OF
mashed FISH and teaspoonful OF
minced parsley. This should also
lie rolled in the pastry crumbs, and

plate and set aside until the time
they will be needed.-Mrs. Percy
