aloud, "or shall think / am

ing himself very erect. he came
straight up to Joan and halted
within six feet Of her.
The place was lonely. Joan's
heart gave a strange flutter Of
anxiety. The man did not speak.

forced herself to say.
The tramp took off his hat.

NEW SUITSOUT
OF OLD
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

A ND now comes the problem
~ of the early fall suit, AL
L u most every one no doubt
has a suit from last season. per-
fectly good. except that 1t Is not
quite up-to-date. For Paris says
1t must be long to be smart, but
there are some interesting sug-
gestions you might follow. to make
your suit look quite new.
II there is a deep hem in your
skirt your problem Is practically
solved, for it needs only to be
heightened to the ankles. But II
you have only a small hem that
cannot be faced to lengthen it.
you may look further for an an
swer.
Three-piece suits are in favor
among the best dressed women,
80 you can purchase a hip-length
blouse of contrasting color and
material and have your skirt cut
to join the blouse at the hips. A
sli mgirdle Of the blouse material
might be used. This will length
en- your skirt considerably as well
as effecting smart costume. For
instance, a suit of navy blue. tric-
otine might have a blouse of henna
Canton crepe beautifully beaded
added to 1t and worn with a smart
henna hat.
Or perhaps 1t is your jacket
that is not quite the thing. Box
coats are again In favor, but are
worn a little longer than formerly.
A broad bias band Of contrasting
color will do wonders to change
a box coat IL skilfully applied.
Platinum grey duvetyn combined
with navy Is smart, and one may
have a bit of blue embroidery done
on the gray to make 1t most ef-
fective.,
Tweed sport suits are still in
vogue, but one must pay particu-
lar attention to the accessories
worn to make It successful. Sport
scarfs, low sport shoes, unusual
hosiery, tailored silk shirts and
jaunty sport hats will be needed
to make the sport suit appear at
It's best.
II your suit coat is of the strict.
ly tailored type on long lines, you
could have 1t cut off to finger-tip
length. The skirt, too, will need
to be heightened, and this may, be
done as suggested above.
Light suits may be dyed sue
cessfully, and the tan suit of early
spring may be ushered in as a new
Partisan brown for the coming
season.

zled hair.
Gould you" he said, in
gentle, rather strained voice.
could you spare "a trifle even
the smallest coin,~ for a man
who has walked far and is-very
down on his luck?"
His voice hesitated and SEEM
ed to tremble a little. Joan
guessed that he was not used to
begging. She took out her worn
little purse. 1t contained one
note, a half crown and a penny.
She could not offer him the
penny. But the half-crown was
a serious matter to Joan. She
took it out, none the less.
"No. no. said the man hastily,
raising his hand in protest:
neither of us. surely, is rich-I
must not deprive you of so
much. Give me any little coin
no matter how trifling."
A beggar who complained Of
the largeness of his dole was, to
Joan. a novelty. Yet, somehow.
she did not feel any surprise.
She discovered an unsuspected
.sixpence in the lining Of the
purse and gave him that. He
accepted 1t with a grave bow
and a murmur Of gratitude.
"a lucky sixpence, I hope"
said Joan, smiling at him.
Lucky may 1t be, for both of
u.s." he replied.
Joan became aware that he
was looking down at her. from

an honest fight for him? II you

sit down quietly with your people
