Great Coat for Sport Wear Eliminates
Belt Through SkiIIfuI Shap-
ing at Shoulder.

Whereas only the exclusive MAN
ufacturer included the sports suit with
trousers In his collection, the universal
adoption of the mode has fostered a
general impulsion by ali manufac-
turers to have at least one model of
this type for this fall. These suits
vary little in style from season to
season, they, too, finding their principal
chance of newness in expression at
the hands of the fabric.

crate fur trimmings Embroidery al
so embeIlishes few of the smart
dressy coats.
An example is stunning new model
Of dark-blue velours. Large medal
lions of soft old blue, red and copper
metal thread were embroidered on the
lower part of the coat and bands of
the same embroidery trimmed the
wide sleeves at the lower part and
also the coat collar. The garment,
unbelted and rather slim in effect, fell
in long straight lines from shoulder
to hem. The sleeves were inset with
a long shoulder line and the wrap was
faced with coffee-colored crepe de
chine.
Many of the 1921 coats are FASH
toned with cape at the back or over
the shoulders.
An exceedingly smart model was
made of deep mahogany velours, the
front having much the appearance of
a frock Falling over the shoulders
at the back was full cape Of the
material, which extended to the hem
Of the wrap.

Parsee Race Dyino out.

A beggar among the Parsees is UNI
known in India, and would be scan
dal to the sect. The sagacity. activity
and commercial enterprise of the Par
sees are proverbial in the East, and
their credit as merchants is almost
unlimited. Because of intermarriage
the race has dwindled down to $4,000.
and for some time there has been a
serious difference among the Parsees
on the question of proselytism. A
Parsee married a French woman, who
TOOK the necessary steps to adopt the
religion Of her husband. But it was
decreed by the high court of India
that, though the creed of Zoroaster
theoretically admitted proselytes,
their admission was not consistent
with the practice of the Parsees in
India.

IDEAS IN SLEEVES
Arm Coverings Grow More Beau
tifuI and Inspiring.
When Properly Proportioned to Indl-
vidual Figure They Add Grace
and Charm to Wearer.

The sleeves on the later Partisan
creations are more notable even than
were the first ones seen. They seem
to grow more beautiful as time passes,
and the ideas that are conceived for
their adornment are really inspiring.
1t has been so long since we have
seen elaborate sleeves that we are well
siasm than could have been expected
by those who created them in the be-
ginning. Then when they are properly
proportional to the individual figure
they do add so much of grace and
charm to the wearer that trey cannot
be lightly cast aside.
On French gown that is otherwise
quite plain and unadorned there are
sleeves that start out simply enough
from quite normally sized armhole,
and then at about the place where the
elbow is they decide to curve out into
big bell shape, and to be trimmed
with wide masses of CzechOslovakian
embroidery in all Of the bright colors
that distinguish work of that char
acter. The dress itself Is Of sombre
dark-blue serge, and the sleeves re-
solve into dark-blue chiffon. Then this
brilliant embroidery stands out as the
interest around which all of the gown
is built.
Another set Of sleeves in a black,
soft satin gown was made Of tinted
lace In the most brilliant orange tones.
This, again, was the only touch Cf
color about the gown, and it was
really most effective Sleeves that
start at the elbow and fall away in
butterfly ends are very popular on
dresses for afternoon. They leave an
amusing space Of bare arm between
the shoulder and the elbow, and often
the sleeve, If it can be called a sleeve,
has no relation to the gown, either in
color or in material.
The sleeve has decided to be, this
season, an individual entity in the
construction Of any gown, and that 1t
continues to be. with all the sanction
of the public, because they show by

JuqqIers Amused Monarchs.

In the Sixteenth century the king of
England had his own private juggler
just as he had his whipping boy" and
his testers The kings juggler in the
time Of Henry VIII. which was the
first half of the Sixteenth century, got
six shillings and eightpence a year for
his efforts to amuse the king and his
court, the same as the kings bear
ward received. In the reign Of
James ], half century after Henry
VIII, there was famous juggIer in
London who combined tight-rope walk
ing with jugglery. He performed on
a rope stretched between the steeple
of st. Giles church and the Cross.
Shakespeare's plays contain several
references to Juggling, which show
that he was familiar with the tricks
Of the performers.

hazel and have even heard whispers
of green.
Five minutes after the gong sound
ed 1 walked into the cabin. Miss
Browne, Captain Watkins of the
freighter, and half dozen men were
already at the table. I slid unobtru-
sively into the one vacant place, for
tunately remote from the captain,
who glared at me savagely, as though
still embittered by the recollection of
my aunt's fits.
Gentlemen" said Miss Browne in
icy tones, "Miss Virginia Harding"
Two Of the men rose, the others
stared and ducked Except for Miss
Browne and the captain, I had re-
ceived on coming aboard only the most
blurred impression of my fellow-voy-
ayers. I remembered them merely as
composite Of khaki and cork he'll
ments and astounded staring faces.
But felt that as the abetters of Miss
Browne a hostile and sinister atmos-
lphere enveloped them all.
Being thus in the camp of the en-
envy, I sat down in silence and devoted
myself to my soup. The majority of
my companions did likewise audibly.
But presently I heard a voice at my
left:
ST say, what q jolly good sailor you
seem to be-pity your aunt's not I"
l looked up and saw Apollo sitting
beside me. Or rather, shall say a
young man who might have walked
out of an advertisement for a ready
made clothing house, so ideal and i'm
possible was his beauty. He was very
tall had to tilt my chin quite pain
fully to look up at him-and from the
loose collar Of his silk shirt his throat
rose like a column. His skin was a
beautiful clear pink and white just
tinged with tan-like a meringue that
has been in the oven for two minutes
exactly. He had a straight, chiseled
profile and his hair was thick and
chestnut and wavy and he had clear
sea-gray eyes. To give him at once
his full name and titles, he. was the
Honorable Cuthbert Patrick Ruth
more Vane, of High Staunt0n Manor,
Kent, England. But as was ignorant
of this, can truthfully say that his
looks stunned me purely on their own
merits.

for the female intellect.

TO HAVE HYGIENIC SHELVES
Enamel Instead of Paper Better for
Home Use, Experts on Houses
hold Science Say.

Never use shelf paper on kitchen or
any other sort of shelves. Experts on
household science say it Is filth
catcher and one Of the best invita-
lions to insects to inhabit your closets.
The finest possible way to finish
shelves is to paint them and then fin
ish with coat of flannel. This gives
them a hard, smooth finish, which can
be wiped off with a damp cloth when
necessary.
For a more decorative effect than
pure white shelves, select some sort Of
colored enamel and paint. A bright
light blue would be attractive or soft
green.

CHAPTER I.-contInued.

This, then, was Miss Violet HiggleS-
Dy~Browne. I saw grim, b y,
Ssucky shape, In a companion cos
tune to my aunt's. Around the edges
OF her cork helmet her short iron-gray
heir visibly bristled. She had mas
stye head, and a scanned and rugged
countenance which did its best to live
down the humiliation Of a ridiculous
little nose with no bridge.
But what riveted my eyes was the
aeadly glare with which hers were
turned on me. / saw that not only
was she as certain Of my identity as
though she had guided me from my
first tottering steps, but that in a
flash she had grasped my motives,
aims and purposes, and meant once
for all to face, out-general and defeat
ne with great slaughter.
So she announced to the company
With elaboration: "The Young Per-
SON is mad!"
It nettled me extremely.
"MadI" l flung back at her. "'Be-
cause I wish to save my poor aunt
from such a situation as this? 1t
would be charitable to infer madness
in those who have led her into It'll"
When l reviewed this speech after
ward l realized that it was not, under
the circumstances, the best calculated
to win me friends.
"Janei" said Miss Higglesby-Browne
In deep and awful tones, ''the time has
come to prove your Strength"
Aunt Jane proved it by uttering a
shrill yelp, and clutching her hair
with a reckless disregard Of it's hav-
ing originally been that of total
stranger. So severe were her shrieks
and struggles that it was with diff

arms Of two strong men.

minutes before Aunt Jane came to,

bathed her head, and held her hand,
and did all the regulation things I'M
der the baleful eye of Miss Browne,
who steadfastly refused to go away,
but sat glaring like a gorgon who
sees her prey about to be snatched
from her.
In the midst Of my ministrations I
awoke suddenly to a rhythmic heave
and throb which pervaded the ship.
Dropping Aunt James hand l rushed
Cd deck. There lay the various pieces
of my baggage, and In the distance
the boat with the two brown rowers
was skipping shoreward over the rip
pies. AS for the Rufus Smith, she
was under way, and heading out Of
the roadstead for the open sea-.
I dashed aft to the captain, who
stood issuing orders in the voice Of an
aggrieved fog-horn.

around You must put my aunt and
me ashore !"
He whirled on me, showing GRIM
son angry face. Turn around, is it,

The Care of Jewels.

the safest way to carry jewels is in

Portable. The worst possible way is
to- put them in a jewel case. The
