She shook his hand from her arm

and suddenly she lost her stance and
toppled from the edge OF the trestle
into the river below.
A plunge into that viscous water was
more dangerous than a tall. Wilton
realized 1t in~stinctively. He leaped feet
first and found himself struggling In
the glney swamp, half mud, half wa.
ter. Kitty, who had fallen into the
center Of the stream, appeared half a
dozen feet away, her white face up
turned, her hands catching for support
as the shallow current carried her to-
ward the lake.
Fighting madly, Wilton detached his
limbs from the sucking mud and man
aged to grasp her skirt as she drifted
past him. With n desperate effort he
drew her to him and struggled
through the yielding muskeg until he
was able to catch IN upright OF tile

From many quarters one hears the
fate Of fashions bemoaned, writes q
correspondent In the New York Trib-
une. From all sides comes the cry.
"Where are the new styles1 Our
dressmakers are offering W nothing
new. The only points in dress that
one can talk about and worry about
a differing from those of last year
lie In the length Of skirts, In the shape
Of necklines or whether sleeves will
be full or tightfitting." But these
criticisms that one hears of present
day fashions may be converted into
praise OF the good Judgment of our
designers. who. through the last few
year,, have come to realize that the
day when sensational upheavals In
dress could be achieved has passed.
Good taste in dress has developed
to such an extent that the bizarre
and the really novel receive but an
Indifferent reception. The percent
age Of smartly dressed women is ever
on the increase. and the number Of
those who desire to be conspicuous
constantly decreasing.
Those who make clothes have not
pursued the line of least resistance.
Close study Of their modes shows that
under apparent simplicity lies =

the last few years there has been~a

makers have pressed this point In
subtle and unobtrusive ways. They
are still endeavoring to bring the full
skirt forward, and It ID safe to pre-
dict that the success Of the full skirt

be an immediate one 1t will be two
