which was forever beyond their

Yet the next moment Storrow
was thinking about neither the
Rodin frieze nor the drab-colored
street cat and its cardinal-red
shell fish. for his gaze had wan
dered back to the girl in the win
dow so much closer to him. She
had thrown back her loose hair.
with circular back-toss of her
head, and with slow and medi-
tative fingers was now coliing
that heavy name together.
She seemed, in fact. still to be
watching the cat and the lobster
pan as she abstractedly took hair
pin after hair pin from her COM
pressed lips. Her face was quite
uncovered by this time, though
1t was not her face which Storrow
first studied.
An Artists Vision.
What first impressed him were
the stockingless feet resting on
the fire-escape rods. These feet
were thrust into faded red
Turkish slippers, which dropped
from the toes, leaving bare the
line of the heel, as clear-cut as
the heel of a razor. Then, as
she swayed forward in her medi-
tative up-coiling of that heavy
rope of hair, he noticed the
thickness of the milky-white
shoulders, which seemed heavy

THE VOGUE FOR
SLEEVES
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

TIME frocks OF this season are
distinguished by their unusual
sleeves, and hence II one
wants to remodel q frock from last
season. they are the first thing to
consider In place Of short tight
sleeves we have long, loose flowing
sleeves that breathe Of the Orient
One satin frock OF tobacco brown
from last season was given q new
lease Of life by removing the seleeves
entirely and cutting deep u in
front Of the blouse. The border of
the u was simply embroidered In
sand and brown French knots done
In clusters to form an attractive
pattern. Under this jumper was
worn a dainty suimps OF tan seor-
gette with long sleeves that flared
out to .ne wrist. These were banded
by a strip Of the satin left from the
original sleeves. and this band was
beautifully decorated by the French
knot clusters. These were also re-
pested down the front and back OF
the skirt to stimulate q panel and
the effect was altogether charming.
Another afternoon frock Of navy
crepc black satin was also made
over attractively. The sleeves were
removed and flowing ones Of Hard
Ing blue chiffon substituted. These
were elaborately embroidered In sal
yer thread. A slim girdle Of Hard
Ing blue gros-grain ribbon was used
at the waist and the ends were
touched by a bit OF the silver.
Your one-piece tricotine frock will
assume new charm II the sleeves
are removed and square cut from
the front OF the blouse. With this
one might wear a guimpe Of flame
red georgette with picoted. edges
on the three-quarter sleeves. A
gtrdle OF red wooden beads looped
about the hips is decidedly smart
For dressy wear. your navy tri-
cotine or twin frock could be sup
piled with enormous sleeves OF henna
duvetyn, plentifully embroidered in
silver or gold cord sirdie would add
much charm.
Cape sleeves In soft fabric are
popular such as Canton crepe or
crepe de chine. One smart frock
is gut with kimono sleeves that are
very full and slit above the elbow
on the outside. These open when
the arm is raised and fall back like
a cape.
Brocaded chiffon sleeves are much
In vogue this season and are worn
In velvet frocks.

THE WOMAN%SCORNER
A ROMANCE WITH A CHANGE OF VIEWS

road. just beyond the bend, Tom
Borland was pacing up and down,
wild with pain. impatiently waiting
for his chauffeur to appear with an
other car. Presently a roadster
honked invitingly as It rounded the
bend, slowed down and a woman
alighted.
"Phyllis-' he shouted when he
saw that II was she. What does
this mean? Whose car is that?
Who taught you to drive' How
dare you come out here on a dan
gerous road like this at night?"
"One at a time" she answered
cheerfully. 1T means I've come to
tow you home; that the car is mine;
that your chauffeur taught me to
drive: that I've dared 10 do some-
thing my big brown bear couldn't
do without getting hurt. Jump in,
while I fasten this chain to your
car
For some time Borland hovered
between life and death. He was
dimly conscious that he was receiv-
ing excellent care, and noticed the
slim, white-clad figure of a nurse
fitting in and out. One morning,
just after the fever left him, he
beenuuring his illness. and was told
she had scarcely left his bedside
even to sleep. She was the white
clad figure who had made him so
comfortable.
When he was allowed TO talk he
asked Phyllis how she ever had been
able to bear his arrogance for so
long, and her answer sent two big
tears trickling down his pale
cheeks.
Love she said quietly, kneel-
ing besiCe his bed and cuddling her
head against his, ''can leap any
barrier that ever was raised, and
I've loved you and believed in you
ever since first came to visit Celia,
No one but I seemed to see the bits
OF tenderness in your nature, and
I've never ceased to believe that
latent tenderness In any man can
be coaxed and cultivated into a rare
blossom"
There's a mistake somewhere.
Nothing so wonderful as you ever
could have sprung from so frsil n
thing as Adams ribv exclaimed
Tom Borland earnestly.
