family would greet her II she let them
know what had happened to her dur

knew that they were dining out, and
she didn't know with whom they were

She ransacked her memory to re-
call some woman friend to whom she
could appeal. She could think of
none available. And Kirk Squires
was away for a week at Shelter
Island.
Her heart beat more quickly as she
reflected that Richard Slocum was not
very far away. She knew that he
was staying at nearby north shore
club for golf tournament. But she
had natural hesitancy about appeal
ing to him for lift home at such
late hour. and she knew that John
would be very angry with her II she
asked Richard to take her home.
The flare Of the headlights on an
approaching car reused her from her
worried revery. A smoothly running
roadster was rounding the curve

and slapped vigorously at the button

She cleared her throat timorously

curls blowing in the slight breeze. she
leaned forward in the light.

~EyERAL days ago there was set
forth in this column short
statement by Mrs. Eleanor Tay-

sive and ofttimes incongruous use OF
knickerbockers by western girls. Inc
writer of this column having, in the
interim between the appearance OF
that article and the present time.
taken a short trip to nearby beach
and seen some sights herself which
were rather unusual. to say the least
wishes hereby to amend the previous
article with some additional remarks.
IT would be most unfair to the girls
of Washington and vicinity to create
the impression that 1t was only In the
west that originality was displayed In
the preparation of hiking outhts TO
adorn adventurous femininity-
1t was a beautiful day with gentle
breeze and a delft blue aky full OF
cream puff clouds. The "Toonerviile

whose joints suggested nothing so

addition to these, new type of resort
blossom was found blooming by the
one-rail car track And the varia-
tions of this peculiar resort growth
are truly startling. The general tech
nical name. according to the methods
of antiquity. would probably be
classed as knickerbockeritis flapper-
fsima. The original plant seems to
have had a modest khaki hue, but the
numerous popular varieties are OF
rainbow colorings.

road. The air was humid, the
night dark and the sky overcast. The

the end of the road was baffied, angry
and perpleved young woman.
The dimming lights on her car il-
tuned a sign shaped like pointing

She didn't know exactly how far
she was from home. but she rather
suspected il was quite some distance.
for she had been driving reckiessly
ever since sunset: and. while sne

couldn't estimate just how far 1t

eyed the dusty road and her perfectly
new shoes ruefully.
She reflected that she hadn't even
the price of telephone call. There
was literally nothing to do but sit
still and wait until some good samari-
