His very wealth deferred her from
showing how much she liked him.
She dreaded being thought a ''pock-

No-she couldn't feel whole-sou,ed
enthusiasm at Olives play for the
boy she would rather have like ner
than anyone else she knew. . . =.
But tonight she was less anxious
for Bobby than for her cousin Peg.
She saw Peg was goaded beyond
even her usually bold self by Olives

would it have a bad effect or good?
Winnie decided to take a chance that
it would be good. She determined ON
a decisive step.

NEW YORK-"Artistic'' is lovely
woman's favorite adjective. Paint
is her favorite smear. Since the
days of Lilith, Adams first, she has
been painting herself and anything
else she could get her hands on.
Even the more Puritanical of the
sex who balk at exterior decoration
to the extent of an u~npowdered nose
must have an outlet for their ar
tistic urge. Interior decoration, then,
is what they turn to.
Give them a pot of paint and a
good camel-hair brush and they will
paint all the furniture, right through
the house, from the boudoir to the
buffers pantry.
Shrinking maidens of the Vic
torian era painted plaques and plush
tides. The craze for painting china
was a smashing success for a time.
In these enlightened days, how
ever. all feminine repressed artistic
desires seem to be vented on hand

Among countless other things, he
knows women are full of repressed
artistic desires as well as he knows
his own name.
That's why he has instituted the
department for teaching lamp-shade
painting right next to the fancy

COAT DRESSES ARE THE
FIRST OF FALL STYLES

First of the autumn styles, the
eoat dress is already with us. In
wearing a tailored frock for very
early fall the American woman fol-
lows the French fashion and these
coat-dressesl are so good-looking and
so easy to slip into that one needs
no further excuse for not buying a
suit until much later.
Models intended to be worn i'm
mediately are of black. brown or
navy blue satin or silk crepe. Kasha
cloth is most popular of the newer
fabrics and the finer wales of twill
are very good.
Many styles are shown. The
straight-lined slightly bloused style
is shown side by side with new far
ing circular skirts and side drapes.
The model sketched was of twill
with panels of satin and is a dis
tinctive example of n of the
favored silhouettes.

1t is seldom you see people these

as to eliminate them.

connective tissue replacing normal

Jealousy is aroused in the aappel

PEGGY DEAN when
OLIVE SARAMINTO. professional

DUNCAN LEE.
Go On With the Story
Poor Winnie! A wav of despair
passed over her. For Peggy was
full of mischief by now.
The ~settees were meant for cou-
pies. Olive, with the skill of her
kind, was maneuvering-but osten-
sibly with utter indifference--to sit
with Bobby Vanderpool.'
Peggy. made reckless by the events
of the night, matched Olives article
by merely darting in ahead of her
and preempting the place at Bobby's
side.
For the moment boldness won and
Peggy leaned back i~nsolently, a glass
In her hand replenished by Lee and
a look of cat-like triumph at the dis
dainful Olive. For the moment, too,
Olive had to admit defeat by a little
high school flap" But she. too,
smiled-the smile of the player who
holds trumps against a novice.
Winnie watching her, read her
accurately, saw Olive was preparing
a counter attack, hesitating only as
to choice of weapons. Winnie wished
her success-though not with her
whole heart.

When the shades of night are
falling fast the fashionable woman
puts on a gown of this sort.
The lines of the frock are very
simple, the style entirely without
%furbelows. Instead of elaboration
of fashion there is elaboration of
fabric and the result is brilliant ana
colorful.
For really formal wear there are
glittering gowns of sequins and all
over beading. Metal cloth in wide
stripes of harmonizing colors or col
ored lace dresses with metal cloth
slips are in great favor.
Lighter than these and perhaps
to be preferred for summer veal
are the beautifully heavy crepes
with all-over patterns of metal
thread O. colored silk embroidery
1t is seldom that these gowns are
trimmed at ala brilliant and
sophisticated simplicity is the aim OF

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

This dish is excellent to serve with
cold meat, or with a brown sugar
sauce it may serve for a simple
dessert.
1t can be made with either cooked
or raw green corn, the latter giving
a better flavor.
/ pint grated green corn
1 quart milk
" cup sugar
"a teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter (melted)
3 eggs (slightly beaten)
Mix all together, turn into a but
tered baking dish and bake 80 min
utes, having the dish set in a pan of
water.
If the water does not boil, the
pudding bakes without separating,
and the custard will be smooth. This
is true with all combinations of eggs
and milk.
