coat silhouettes are already deter

buyers safety, for they are in the
hands of manufacturers and are be-
ing made up into coats.
Scheduled for success in winter
wraps are cloths like those used last
winter, as bolivia cloth, marvellas
and similar weaves, supplemented by
wool matelasse, which is being fea-
tured for making entire wraps and
in combination with other materials.
Brown appears as the most sought
for color, in warm tones that are very
rich in the soft coatings, but other
colors and black dispute it's domi-
nance.
AS to the silhouette there is moth
ing to indicate that we shall depart
from the straight-line figure that has
won the devotion of fashionables, but
it is not to be a hard straight line.
The Russian influence is felt in coats,
as in everything else, and a long,
straight coat with a soft blouse, at a
low waistline, is the most promising
variation shown of the straight-line
wraps. The uneven hemline is an

the ensemble has no rival that is
prettier for out-dooring. Many of the
hats are crocheted, others made Of the
knitted silk fabric used for the scarf
as in the pretty set shown here.
Just now, white sweaters are in
favor, knitted with lacy stitches. Ice
land wool or silk and wool combined,
resembling Iceland, are used for them
and they are made in both the Tuxedo
and slip-on styles. Names conveying
an idea of their sheer and delicate
quality have been discovered for them
and we find such terms as ''organdie
wool" and "grenadine knit" in the par
lance of the sweater manufacturers.
Fine yarn knitted in close sweater
stitch, is varied by horizontal, figured
stripes in slip-on sport sweaters, that
have proved popular. One of them is
pictured here. They usually display
white, tan or beige background with
stripes in two or more colors. Very
handsome sweaters of this kind are
decorated with cross-stitch embroidery

what mysterious citizen, and DR..

ly known to Fell, but masked, who
accompanies them to the ball.

of her uncle. Joseph Maillard, Is
the Colambine. At the ball, Bob

proposes to her and is refused. He
offers to buy some of her property.
A Franciscan monk interests her.
He turns out to be Prince Gramont.
In his library Joseph Maillard and
a group Of his friends are held up
and robbed by the Midnight Mas
quer. Lucie Ledanois, the last of
an old family, is in straitened cir
cumstances. Joseph Maillard's ham
ding of her funds has been unfor-
tunate. Fell is an old friend Of her
parents and deeply interested in
the girl. Henry Gramont, really
the Prince de Gramont, is enamored
of Lucie. Lucie talks with Fell
about her affairs and the Masked
Masquer.

Grandfather was a patient in hos

this tree was robins nest. The SPAR

seeing how miserable they could make
things for Mrs. Robin by diving and
pecking until she would leave the nest
One morning when grandpa was
looking out the window he saw twia

nest on which was suspended card,
the ten spot of diamonds. The breeze
kept the card whirling back and forth
frightening the sparrows away. Mrs,

A SPELLING Lesson.

Once upon a time there was a stub
born student who refused to learn to
spell.
But always the teacher pleaded with
the student and often said:
you will suffer some great incon-
venience, if not actual tragedy, some
time, by reason Of this refusal Of
yours to study photography"
Yet still the student was obdurate.
and said 'blah."
One day, after the obdurate student
had grown to manhood, he poisoned
himself eating oysters in ''Orgust."
And when the teacher, who had now
grown old and toothless teaching or

"Uh, huh! II told him so Prom

he dropped into English, Gramont
glanced about the room, and his eyes
softened.
