I went over to the sign Of the
blue bell and gave the operator in
charge of the pay station switch

counting on my "hunch" that a
good looking and superioracting
young man like Howard Rockhill

take the office into his confidence.

to convey annoyance, at least.

4 to The Argus

London, Eng. May S.-The new
est knitted frock and coat com
bination is decidedly different. OF
close mesh, the frock is substan-
tfal and done in quiet shade. But
the coat has a distinctly frivolous
trend. Its mesh is very open and
forms a geogometric design OF
large pattern. Often the coat Is OF
a contrasting shade and the mesh
is so loose that a frock of taupe,
for instance, looks as though partly
covered by a silken film of green.
London, Eng, May S.-Handker-
chiefs as articles of adornment and
shiny lacquered ribbons as trim
mings for almost everything have
appeared once more. The smart
handkerchief is white and OF finest
quality. Its use as an adornment
is apparent when it is thrust
jauntily into the breast pocket OF
