y T was so still that June night
that Elaine, In the hammock
- on the wide front porch. felt
that she could almost hear the
heart Of the world beating. Fra
GRANGE poured from the blossom
ing honeysuclzle hedge and from
rambler roses that twisted thorny
tendrils around the worn old col
umns. It was q night for magic.
It had been q trying day at the
office. Mr.. Shields had been mp
set about q cancelled order for
mercerized yarn. A hosiery mill
which took a big part Of the
Union Spinning Conipany's out
put had written that the yarn
had too many knots.
Jack Shields, who had gradu-
ated only q year before from q
textile school in Philadelphia, had
been called into the office to give
his opinion Of the reason for the
low quality of the yarn. He had,
bravely enough for q young chap,
involved himself in an argument
so heated that q meeting Of the
directors had been called.
He had accused Belinger, the
manager Of the mill. Of sacrific-
ing quality for quantity. Said
that in his opinion Belinger was
hoping that the volume OF bust
ness done would inveigle the d.
rectors into declaring substan-
tiaI dividends in July, and 80
boost himself for an increase In
salary. Jack had not selected
words to blind his direct mean
ing. He was young. Idealistic.
There was just one way to do
right. He scorned q subterfuge.
Mr.. Shields, senior. president
Of the mill, was obviously aghast
at his sons statement. He be-
lieved In Relinger. Said that his
son was young and was probably
actuated by some petty personal
grudge against their excellent
manager. Jack had turned a bit
white at that. but when the di.
rectors had insisted that Jack
tell all he knew, Jack laid facts
and figures before them. There
had been dirty work going on in
the mill. Yarn was piled up in
warehouses in the East.
It had been shipped to COM
panies which did not exist save
on paper. Jack believed that
Belinger meant to sell 1t later
and pocket the money. He told
them 30. Right before the irate
Belinger. who finally had to be
held off from attacking Jack.
And the amazing part Of the
whole proceedings was that Jack
had proven everything he had
said, and Belinger had been un-
tremendously escorted from the
room. Later, Mr.. Shields had sent
for his son, had apologized for
what he had said and praised him
for his business acumen. Then
he had completely lost his tenn
per and had told Jack that he

There are hundreds OF roofs in

should all be turned into play

Of so converting them general

shameful to see how these sub

HE ordinary laundry will,
' play havoc with your
best silk lingerie, ana 80
it is well when planning your va
cation clothes to plan a few
practical sets both cool and
dainty.
Among the cotton things, dainty
crepes are just the thing for they
are cool, easily tubbed, and re.
quire no ironing. The newest
crepes are offered in all the soft
pastel colorings, flesh, pale blue,
orchid, corn, lettuce green as we'll
as white. The lowered crepes
are quaint and the colors last
surprisingly long. Simple hem
stitching, on tailored models makes
the most durable trimming, and
edges may be picoted If pre-
ferred.
From the crinkled cotton crepe,
one finds nighties, pajamas, che
misses, step-ins, underVests and
boomers in the prettiest models
and colorings.
Cross-barred dimity is a f:l-
vorite for summer and is shown
in variety of colors. Imitation
filet edging Is used with the
dimity, but many Of the garments
prefer to be hemstitched or
picoted. This material may he

Glove silk underwear may easily
be washed in soap suds and the
vests and boomers require no
pressing.
The athletic underwear for
women is serviceable and is cut

and are purchased ready made.
One-piece union suits semi-fitted
to the body and buttoned down
the front are excellent for goIs

sent to the laundry and are fresh
and cool to wear.
OF course, IL you have the con-
venience of a laundry for your
own use during the summer, you
may enjoy the luxury of your
crepe de chine and wash satin
underthings. Perhaps you will
carry a travellers electric iron
with you. and do your own silk

own father before he announced
anything to the directors. Jack
had stoutly contested that he had
tried more than once to expose
Belinger and that his father had
always laughed at him. 90 he had
felt compelled to bide his time
and take the first opportunity.
So there was no magic In that
June night for Elaine. For Jack
had been relieved Of duty instead
Of being promoted to Belinger's
position.
It had been Q fine thing to hold

pendent. But lately her delight
in things had been on q wane.
Romance was stirring all around
her. She was the only one Of the

not married.
As she rested there In the old

ing Of the events of the day, the
worn out latch on the gate
clicked. and Jack. q suit case in

"I couldn't go away without
saying goodbye" he told her.

The old gate clicked again. and

up the walk. Elaine went for
ward to greet him. He did not
see Jack In the shadow Of the
moon vines. Get your hat

Jack came out Of the shadows
and took the astonished girls

LOVELORN
Beatrice Fairfax
A Foolish Pride.
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been going with a
man for five months. About
six weeks ago we had an ap.
pointment which / broke and I
have not seen him since. Be-
heving him angry 1 tried to
forget him but find love him
more than ever. :. I would love
to regain his friendship and
know he feels the same way
about it. I see him often, as he
lives in my neighborhood.
HEARTBROKEN.
IF each of you goes on being
proud and stubborn, you are
bound to drift apart. Why throw
away love in order to crafty that
dangerous and expensive thing
known as pride? You were the
offender. Write him a little note
and tell him that you know he is
too big and generous to hold this
circumstance against you and
that you are sure he must feel
you were too sincere a friend to
slight him in any way.
