Northcliffe Revives the Polka-Dot!
BY MARIAN HALE

New York, Aug 1O.-'What is a polka dot and why is a polka -dot?'' queries Lord Northcliffe, the British publisher
 And the fashion opportunists are right on the dot to tell him,
 If you walk up the New York streets past the gown shops you think at first your eyes are affected, with these black spots dancing before them.
 It's whispered that haberdashers are going to get out new polka dot tie called '"The Northcliffe.'
 Why? Well, just because someone admired Lord Northcliffe's polka dot tie and told him so.
 Northcliffe said he had never heard of "polka dot and would like to have the term explained.
 That was enough for the fashion peo- pie,
 Style opportunists fourished wears ago just as they do today. For years ago when the Bohemian peasant dane, called the polka was the rage in the old world as well as the new, President Polk was president of the United States. An enterprising manufacturer got out a new style of silk, a fabric with con- trasting dots upon it.
 Immediately the new fabric, worn by the fashionables who were dancing the polka became known as the polka dot.
 Polka-dotted materials have been much in vogue this summer but they are better than. ever now, thanks to Northcliffe's interest in them! In voile, georgette, swiss and silks the polka dot is very smart for afternoon as well as street dresses. Dark blue, black and brown with white dots are the most popular combinations though light backgrounds with dark dots are also good.

The Fear From Which Madge
 Shrank.
 The comment Dicky had made concerning the impossib&ity of Grace Draper posing for him, with my father, Lillian and Hugh Grant land '.on the job' was one that troubled me also. That these three, together with Allen Drake-and Harry Underwood, if Grace Draper was to be believed-wese keeping close watch upon her movements, had been demonstrated ever since she was released from prison The task of eluding them would not be easy, and yet I resolved to try.
 Let satisfying or eluding those people be my job,'' I said quietly to Dicky, in answer to his protest. "And-will you write to her, or
 He stared at me in amazement in which I saw there was a distinct ly resentful tinge.
 How do you know where to write her?" he asked suspiciously 'I thought we agreed when you showed me that letter from her down south that you wouldn't answer it until I had given you my decision about it. I know I should have spoken to you about that long ago, but, honestly. it slipped my mind"
 My heart gave the same thrill of relief and, happiness it had given when Dicky evinced his complete for getfulness of the draperies which Grace Draper's fingers had embroid- cred for him. If things concerning her continually slipped his mind in stead of obsessing it, then, indeed, was I safe. in permitting her to serve as his model again.
 ''I didn't answer it,'' I protested. 'But-I have a little confession 10 make to you, nevertheless, about Grace Draper"
 He looked at me sharply.
 Shoot" he said, with apparent nonchalance, but I knew that he, in reality, was all attention.
 'In the first place." began, deter mined to clear myself of the imputa- ton that I had broken faith with him over Grace Draper's appeal, II tried to tell you of this the morning I left Marvin, but you would not listen to me-
 That's right he exclaimed. ''You did try to spiel something, and Iput the kibosh on it. Well, now, your Puritan conscience is absolved, so go ahead with your story"
 'She Told Me As Much."
 How his volatile spirits had risen ,. at the mere prospect of getting Grace Draper back as model If I had $ not realized how strictly professional his need of her was I am afraid my old jealousy of the girl would have famed into life. s But. with this Knowledge comforting me, I was able to proceed sedately with the story of my trip to Hampstead On the lure of the house to let set forth by Grace Draper.

This applies to all women, regard less of caste or color. The ambitious girl striving for school honors, the cverworked housewife, the shop girl, girls in offices and stores, and the society woman all climb too high, overtax their strength, and what fol- lows? Nervous prostration, sleepless- ness, backache. headaches, and the inevitable weakness and ailments pc cHliar to their sex soon develop, which unless checked bring on more ser ious conditions, and which often lead to operations.

But I did not tell of my conflicting impressions of the girl whether she were sincere, or playing part with consummate skill. I wished Dicky to believe that she was sincere ora corrodlnS little douit began to creep into my mind-was I not in reality protecting myself against the possible shock of having him put aside my unfavor- able impressions as vagaries of my mind?
 Then you know how to reach her by letter?' Dicky said slowly when had finished.
 She doesn't dare have any letter addressed directly to her. I said.
 She told me that when I was at the Hampstead house. But a letter en- closed in one addressed to cousin of Linda Shellford's, the woman who"
 Doubts.
 Had such peachy jazz" Dicky interrupted "Ill tell the world Gracie hasn't lost her foxiness. She's on to the fact that her own mail, and probably that of the jaggy lady, is watched. I'll bet she takes care that this Linda lady and her cousin os- tensibly have nothing to do with each other.'
 She told me as much" I said a bit shortly. I was willing to so through with this thing, but I did not especially care for enthusiastic comments upon Grace Draper's s mentality.
 Then that's all right" Dicky said slowly. He rose kabruptly as he spoke, jumped from the car, and began to stride rapidly up and down the little level space upon the top of the hill where we had stopped. I know that he was threshing out with himself the advisability of bringing Grace Draper back into his life again, and I had hard work to keep from crying out to him that I could not bear it-that there must be some other way out.
 A sudden paralyzing thought struck me. I remembered that Lillian adroitly had armed my father with the story of that attempt oh my life 1 which Grace Draper. had made in the first year of my marriage, when she had seized my foot while swim ming, and had tried to pull me down into the undertow. Lillian had done this, I knew, so that Dicky could be told of that long-ago happening which I had determined never to reveal.
 Had my father told Dicky? With that knowledge of her hatred of me, was Dicky willing to chance her repentance and risk that hatred again for the sake of his career? I had no means of knowing the truth, and I realized that the Ques- , tion would fester in my consciousness if Djcky decided again to employ Grace Draper as model.

Two bills, designed to prevent
protiteering in coal, tie-up of the
coal mines and consequent suffering
by the public were introduced in the
Senate yesterday by Sena or Kenyon of
Iowa, chairman of the committee on
education and labor, who recently
visited the scene of the strife in the
coal fields of West Virginia.
The fl st bill. and also the shorter
bill. is designed particularly to- pun
ish profiteering in dealing in coal. 1t
provides that 1t shall be unlawful for
any person or corporation or firm en-
gagged In interstate commerce In coal
to profiteer in coal. The penalties for
profiteering are fines of not less than
800 or more than $4,000 for the first
offense, and for each succeeding OF.
fense punishment shall be by fine OF
not less than $1,000 and by imprison-
ment for the person convicted of not
less than ninety days or more than
five years in Jail.
The bill fixes a scale of rates. and
when the margin of profit is m ex-
cess of these rates, 1t shall be prima
facie evidence of profiteering.
The second bill Is more compre-
hensive and provides for the gath
ering of the fullest information re-
gard;ng the coal business In all its
ramifications by the Federal Trade
Commission, the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the geological sur
yey, so that the situation regarding
coal production and prices may be
known all times and also the
profits which are being made. by the

IL is provided that whenever the
Federal Trade Commission shall de-
termine that an emergency exists or
threatens in the coal industry and
supply which seems likely to produce
a shortage or bring about unreason-
able prices detrimental TO the pubic
health, and when such findings shall
be confirmed by the President. the
President shall be authorized TO de-
clare the existence of an emergency
and empowered to fix maximum coal
prices and dealers commissions and
margins. During such an emergency
the President shall be empowered to
revoke the license of an operator or
dealer who has sold coal or charged
commission in excess of the prices
and commissions fixed.
