looked back at Sydney Barnes.
You asked me a question" he said
Il believe have heard OF your

name"
Barnes grasped him by the arm.
Look here" he said. come and
repeat that to the young lady over
there. She's with me. 1t won't 90

Wravson rose to his feet. but be-

hand fall upon his arm.
Where are you going. "rayson:
Barnes looked up at him anxiously.
His pale face seemed twisted into a
scowl.
Don't you interfere" he ex-
claimed. You've done m me enough n

Heneage took no more notice Of him
than he would of yappinG terrier.
He looked over his head into Wray-
sons eyes.

ness. Take my advice. l know more
than you do about it. II you go on.
I swear to you that there is nothing
but misery at the end.
Il know more than you think l
do" Wrayson answered quietly. Il
know more indeed than you have any
idea of. If the end were in hell 1
should not hold back"
HeneaRe hesitated for moment.
He stood there with darkening face,
an obstinate. almost threatening
figure. Passers-by looked with a
sorted trio. whose conversation was
obviously far removed from the or
binary chatter Of the loungers about
the place. One or two made an ex-
cuse to linger by-it seemed possible
that there might be developments.
He turned suddenly upon his heel
and left the room. Those who had the
curiosity to follow along the corri-
dor saw him. without glancing to the
right or to the left, descend the stairs
and walk out Of the building. He
had the air of a man who abandons
finally a hopeless task.
The look of relief in Bartes' face
as he saw him go was ludicrous
thing. He drew Wrayson at once to-
ward the corner.
"Queer thing about this girl" he
whispered in his ear. "She amt like
the others about here. She just comes
to make inquiries about friend
who's given her the chuck, and whose
name she says was Howard. I be-
lieve it's Morry she means. Just
like him to take a toff's name!"
Wait a moment before we speak

MAUVE FROCKS AND WRAPS.

important to US. We are wearing IL.
1t is a delightful color for summer.
Like lettuce green and mist gray. !.
belongs to hot weather IL Is .oS
chilling for cold days. which need
warmth to fire the brain, to please
the eye and to offset nature.
Few people proclaimed the lncom,
ing of mauve They thought, and
rightly, that last summers popular,
ity sounded the kneil OF the FADED
shade of violet. But the dress
makers. evidently. had the color up
their sleeves to present as soon as
, the hot weather started. Through
their concerted action we now nave
mauve gowns. capes, roses nats'
stockings and girdles.
If one spends an afternoon IN
leisurly shopping through the big
department stores, il is interesting
to see that only slight amount or
mauve is offered in such things as
sweaters. muslin frocks. hats and
flowers.
Another afternoon spent in the
same way among the small eXclu-
sive shops and high-priced dress
makers gives an entirely dinerent
impression; for at these mauve and
lettuce green are freely offered.
translated thus: that the idea Of ex-
plotting these two summer tones
came late in the season after the
wholesale houses. the jobbers and
manufacturers had produced their
stocks for the season.
The same thing is true over in
Paris. Mauvc in its richest orchid
shade is shown in the smart produc-
tionS on the stage and on the women
in the audience; also on those who
flock to the places where dancing
continues he fashion shows itself
in costumes of mauve crepe. taffeta.
and chiffon. Rarely do these attempt
the addition of another color. They
use violet. which is the mother of
mauve. or pink. which sinks into it.
The sketch shows one of the smart
frocks worn in Paris the first of this
month. 1t does not present an es-
pecially new idea in silhouette. but
1t exploits an unusual neck line. The
material is mauve crepe de chine,
with wrinkled blouse extending
over the top Of the skirt, a feature.

woman to regard as important. There
are sash ends at one side which be-
gin in loose bouquet of small pink
roses: when pink is used as contrast
II is in the form of flowers. and also
put as lining or facing to panels
and sleeves.
The popularity of the neck line lies
in the bows of ribbon at each should
er. These finish a scarf placed at the
edge of the decOlletage. and also top
the sleeves. This trick is not good
on middle-aged women. but it is a
fashion for youth during this epoch,
when youth governs the fashion.

called Bully every bad thing she could

All the other birds in the Old Orchard
gathered around and encouraged her.
FOR none liked Bully and Mrs. Bully.
And they loved to hear Jenny scold
and see her jerk her tail.
Finally Bully had enough of bad
names and suddenly darted out at
Jenny. while Mrs. Bully took his place
in the doorway and urged him on.
Bully is regular little featherel

Wren together We're no match for
him. He drove them clear to the

Jenny Wren Is Furious.
BY THORNTON w. Borgess..
To lose your temper doesn't pay.
so never let IL get away.

jenny wren.
While all the things have told you
about were happening over in the
Green Forest things quite as inter
esting were happening in the Old Or
chard. Winsome Bluebird had been
the first to arrive in the spring ard
he and Mrs. Bluebird had wasted no
time in getting to housekeeping. The
year before they had made their home
in a hole in a fence post. This year
they decided that a certain little
house put up in one Of the apple trees
by Farmer Browns Boy suited them
better. and they moved in at once.
Bully the English Sparrow had al
ready taken possession Of the hollow
in which Jenny and Mr.. Wren had
made their home the year before, and
their old home had been taken by a
pair Of their relatives. So il was that
when Jenny and Mrs. Wren arrived. Il
little late and rather tired from their
long journey UP from the south. they
found the best homes in the Old Or
chard already occupied.
They had gone straight to their
former home. expecting 10 take pos
session at once. In the doorway sat
Jenny Wren became furious. The
same thing had happened the year
before. so perhaps it is not 10 be
wondered at that Jenny's always
quick temper fared up. 1t was rather
provoking to make such 4 long Jour-
ney to find the old home occupied.
'Robber. House stealer' Oct out
of there this instant! DO you hear
Get out of there this instant. That
is our home" shrieked Jenny.
Bully would have had to be stone
deaf not to have heard. but he didn't
bulge. simply ruffied UP his feathers
until he quite filled the doorway.
My, my. my. such a temper. re-
torted Bully in the most provoking
way. "If you want this house, just
put US out. If you can put US out you
can have the house"
Now. Bully and Mrs. Bully are, as
you know. much bigger than Jenny
and Mr.. Wren. Moreover, they love Il
fight. They are never happier than
when fighting or Quarreling with their
neghborA and for this reason are
heartily disliked. l suspect that Bully
had been looking forward with 4
great deal of pleasure to the arrival
of Jenny and Mrs. Wren. He looked
actually happy as he sat there with
his feathers rufiied up.
Poor Jenny Wren, She knew she
was helpless. She knew she was no
match for Bully in fight. The only
thing she could meet him on even
grounds with was her tongue. for she
has the sharpest tongue IN all the Old

HOW TO GET AFTER BUSINESS.

The Illinois Committee in Public Utility Infor-
nation has sent a bulletin TO the manager of each of
the utility properties in the state OF Illinois, which
contains these words:
The only solution is to get after bust
ness. Don't wait for it to come to you. One
OF the best known means of promoting and
breaking up an active business is through
newspaper advertising"
This is a conclusion reached after it has been
pointed out that Industrial depression has added to
the burdens of the utility companies and diminished
the demand fer their services. The committee offers
to cooperate with utility companies in preparing ad-
yertising and stimulating sales.
Thus another conspicuous incident marks the
passing of the institution which seeks to sustain the
argument. that it has nothing to advertise. 1t is daily
being demonstrated that advertising is the life of bust
ness, whether that business be engaged in selling mer-
chandise or service. says a contemporary.
The. New York stock exchange. after adhering
for generations to a rule that proclaimed the PROVING
ialism of the institution. has let down the bars and
will permit its members to advertise as business iudg-
ment dictates within the code Of business ethics.
One railroad after another has discovered the
value OF goodwill developed by advertising. The pack
ers who studiously avoided public attention for many
years, have recently done some exceptionally valuable
publicity work in advertising columns of newspapers.
Samuel insult long ago learned the goodwill value
of letting the customer and the security owner know
what their properties are doing and his example is

GOOD SIGN.

The railroad situation is more conductive tn on,i-

Hooper, vice-chairman Of the railroad labor beard
who ought to be IN a position TO know what he * talk

simply rejecting the general tendency toward better

The railroads are first to feel even the slightest
increase in traffic, and generally speaking there is no
growth in freight without a corresponding improve

Mr.. Hooper's observation is most encouraging in
