within five minutes we had in the
mirror the gown as 1t will look when
the material is cut and all the stitches

I AM told it Is the same with fine

hats. such as one sees in the win
dows. but the artistic Paris milliner
builds his hat on the head of the
buyer. The scissors clip out the lines

supply of pins to bend and twist the
trick is performed. Every woman
now wears some sort OF wreath on
her hair in the evening. and this she
buys at department store or in
some small shop which has copied
the creations Of the Rue de la Paix.
The styles I see here in Paris do
not resemble the ones I left in New
York, nor those of the nouveau- richie
we brought across on our liner. The
short skirts which call down so much
wrath on the heads of our American
flappers passed away from Paris more
than two years ago, and the skirts
of the present are so long they come
almost to the ankle. The necks are

There is nothing which shows so
well how Paris is working as a visit
to the shops. There are tens of
thousands OF stores, all full Of goods
and all busy, and outside on the
streets are tables piled high with
bargains and customers pushing and
scrambling to buy. The store win
dows are museums Of fine stuffs, nov
elites and new creations. and some
tiny shops have window displays
worth a fortune. I stopped this aft
ernoon on fashionable street before
, a store not much bigger than a piano
box whose little window contained

Other watches were fastened to
ribbons of silk. Some were set in
pearls and some hung on bracelets
decorated with diamonds.
In a store window farther on I saw
a collection of nothing but cigarette
cases, gold and silver and diamond
strewn, and in another. that OF IA

Noting the number of the cab,
Sayles hurried to his motor and took
the same direction. but following was
out OF the question in the crush. He
drove to his club for luncheon.
Here friends commented upon his
absence OF mind. He was thinking
more about the charming girl he had
seen than about his wife speeding
southwark and he determined to
search for the attractive stranger
None but a man with time on his
hands would think of such an i'm
probable quest in New York.

as he entered one in the thirties.
Glancing into the women's waiting
room. he saw the object of his search
at desk writing.
Taking a seat from which he could
observe her, Sayles noted her grace
and ease. Her face was turned from
him, but he knew its charm. She fin
ally came out with several others.
AS she was passing again from the
hotel desk she slipped on the tiles and
would have fallen il Sayles had not
caught her. She had turned an ankle
slightly. He helped her back to the
waiting room.

Sayles was sending his wife
off to a southern resort and
had lust kissed her. She found the
kiss genuine, for she invited such a
salute. but there was no dependency
in Sayles' tone

YOUR habit to be lonely"
Her maid, busy with the small lug
gage, smiled into bag she had open

tendency. And Mrs. Sayles flirted a
little herself in retaliation. They
were modern.
"Oh," he retorted, you'll find some
engaging chap down there to keep
you from melancholy. And I hope he
may be platonic."
"And you think that If 1 don't I
shall be home the sooner. eh?" She
smiled tantalizingly. why don't you
