Word pedigree" Corruption of
Term Which Was Applied to

Perhaps, after all, it would be more
appropriate to call a family tree" a

does not, at least consciously, mean
to infer that this has anything in COM

this happens to be the literal mean

BUYING THE NEW SUIT

The most difficult dress to manage
economically is probably the tailored
suit. OF course the shops are always
flooded with cheap suits, but these
are likely to prove a snare and nit
fall, unless you are prepared to rec
ognize quality in material, and good
workmanship when you see it.
What most women want at the pres
ent is suit that can be worn at least
two years. It is considered economical
to distribute your purchases SO that
suit, furs and coat do not all come
out of one years salary. And in
general, the highest-priced suit, If
simple in design, will wear longer,
for it is apt to be made of better
grade material.
Shall the suit coat be long or short9
It depends upon the figure of the girl,
what style of suit she should get.
If you are inclined to be too tall, or
lanky, you will do well to avoid the
severe long lines, and choose rather
something on the style Of the short
box coat. On the other hand, if you
are DESTROYS of appearing taller and
slenderer than you really are, the long
coat will give you just the height and
'straightness" that you need.
Choice of material for the new suit
always presents a problem. The cloth
must be durable, for only then can
it be depended upon to give the wear
required for the thrifty shopper. Each
season sees Fashions own pet fabrics
brought to the fore, but what Is most
important from the shoppers stand
point, is to get cloth that will hold
it's shape, and not wear shiny, nor spot
easily when exposed to the street dust
and all sorts of weather. Soft dark
hues are more practical for constant
use than either pale or brilliant colors.
The good shopper will instinctively
strike a happy medium between the
fussy impractical suit, and the too
severe model. Embroidery is all right
for the suit that is intended for more
formal wear, but a great deal of fancy
trimming makes a suit too "dressy'
for everyday wear. Whenever trim
ming is used on the best type of suits,
it is usually self-colored or black
goutache.
Remember, also, to be conservative
about buying striking and bizarre
models Some of these enjoy only
brief seasons vogue, and if worn the
next season will make you appear
conspicuous.

HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
"Is IT FOR YOURSELF 2"
}oOOOoOOOOoOOOC
/, 1922. Harland H. Allen.

"For yourself?" piped the smart
young salesperson in the shop where
had strolled to look at hats.
For whom else would I be shopping
for hat on hot summer afternoon?
/ wondered.
But as / watched a number of wom-
en- buying hats-a short, fat woman
going out with a low spreading hat
that made her look shorter and fatter
than ever; a woman of the tall, beam
pole type elevated still nearer the
clouds by high plume-crested crown
u decided that the question hadn't
been so irrelevant after all. How often
does woman buy hat that is really
designed for herself?
If your face is full and round, do not
choose a small, brimless hat, or one
with a turned-up brim. 1t will only
change the adjectives full and round
to soft and fat" What your face
needs is a general lengthening and re
ducing effect, and this may be accom-
plished by Northumberland hats, by
sailors, and by having the briIns mar
rover at the sides than at the front.
A thin face that looks small and
peaked under large hat, may play
up all it's fullness and delicacy of
curves under a small one.
The snubbiest nose can be coaxed to
be quiescent under large or medium
sized hat, while brimless hat or one
that turns up sharply in front would
only accentuate the sauciness.
For the woman with sharp, angular
features, "softness" is the keyWord.
Her problem is the same as the thin
faced Woman's, only that she must be
careful to avoid any lines that accen-
tuate the angles Of nose, chin, cheek
bone or throat. Stiff sailors only null
tiply her woes, and yet how she usu-
ally does fancy them!
Youthful faces may fearlessly wear
the straight brimless hat or the turned
up brims which throw the complexion
age-lines, or the younger woman with
worried, worn features should wear
hat that has loose, drapy effects, and
brim enough to shadow the lines
If you are of the medium-type Of
face with regular features, you are
often told that you can wear any
thing" This is never entirely true.
There are certain lines and materials
that will bring out your good points
better than others do. So, For Your
SELF is a pretty good rule to go by.

a hat

Gale turned his horse, not without

speech, for the desert steed scented
water, and plodded back to the edge
Of the arroyo, where in a secluded
circle of mesquite he halted. The
horse snorted his relief at the removal
of the heavy, burdened saddle and &C

hat and held it to the horses nose.
"Drink, SOL" he said.
It was but a drop for a thirsty
horse. However, Blanco Sol rubbed a
wet muzzle against Gales hand in ap-

was loved in return. They had saved
each others lives, and had spent long
days and nights of desert solitude to-

The spot of secluded ground was
covered with punches of galleta grass

met his gaze once, then no more.
Belding was talking over the risks in
volved in a trip to Casita.
"I'll tell you, boys, I'll ride in my
self with Carter. There's business

know what the rebels are doing.

time I'll be ready to start in an hour.
Have your letter ready. And say-if
you want to write home it's chance.
Sometimes we don't go to the p. o.

He tramped out, followed by the
tall cowboys, and then Dick was en-
abled to bring his letter to a close.
Mercedes came back, and her eyes
were shining. Dick, remembering
Belongs suggestion, decided to profit
by it.
"May I trouble you to write another
for me?" asked Dick, as he received
the letter from Nell.
.Tt's no trouble, I'm sure-Pd be
pleased" she replied.
That was altogether a wonderful
speech of hers, Dick thought, because
the words were the first coherent
ones she had spoken to him.
He settled back and began.
Presently Gale paused, partly be-
cause of genuine emotion, and stole
a look from under his hand at Nell.
If she had in the very least been drawn
to him But that was absurd-im-
possible!
When Dick finished debating his
eyes were upon Mercedes, who sat
smilingly curious and sympathetic.
How responsive she was He looked
at Nell. Presently she rose, holding
out his letter. He was just in time
to see wave of red recede from her
face. She gave him one swift gaze,
unconscious, searching, then averted
it and turned away. She left the
room with Mercedes before he could
express his thanks.
But that strange, speaking flash of
eyes remained to haunt and torment
Gale. 1t was indescribably sweet,
and provocative of thoughts that he
believed were wild without warrant.

! 1t dawned upon him that for the brief
she had lost her shyness. 1t was a
womans questioning eyes that had
pierced through him.
Next day Dick believed he was well
enough to leave his room; but Mrs
Bedding would not permit him to do
so. She was kind, soft-handed, moth
erly, and she was always coming in
to minister to his comfort; yet Gale
felt that the friendliness so manifest
in the others of the household did not
extend to her. He was conscious of
something that little thought per-
suaded him was antagonism. 1t sur
prised and hurt him. He reflected
that there might come time when
it would be desirable, far beyond any
ground of everyday friendly kindli-
ness, to have Mrs. Bedding be well
disposed toward him. So he thought
about her, and pondered how to make
her like him. 1t did not take very
long for Dick to discover that he
liked her. Her face, except when she
smiled. was thoughtful and sad. But
it seemed too strong, too intense, too
nobly lined 1t was a face to make
one serious. Like haunting shadow,
like a phantom Of happier years, the
sweetness of Nell'r face was there,
and infinitely more of beauty than
had been transmitted to the daugh-
ter. Dick believed Mrs. Belongs
friendship and motherly love were
worth much striving to win, entirely
aside from any more selfish motive
He decided both would be hard to
get.
Toward evening Gale heard the
tramp of horses and Belongs hearty
voice. Presently the rancher strobe
in upon Gale, shaking the gray dust
from his broad shoulders and waving
a letter.
Hello, Dick! Good news and

ing thumps of many hoofs. The sound
vanced, and finally began to crawl.
The nearer he approached the head
of the arroyo, where the well was To-
Gated, the thicker grew the desert veg
citation He secured a favorable posi-
ton, and then rose to peep from be
hind his covert.
He saw a bright fire, not a cooking
fire, for that would have been low and
red but a cracking blaze of mes
quite. Three men were in sight, all
close to the burning sticks. They were
Mexicans and of the coarse type of
raiders, rebels, bandits that Gale had
expected to see. A CLINT of steel
caught his eye. Three short, shiny
carbines leaned against a rock. A lit
tie to the left, within the circle of
light, stood a square house made of
adobe bricks. This house was a
Papagon Indian habitation, and a
month before had been occupied by a
family that had been murdered or
driven off by a rowing band of out
laws. A rude corral showed dimly in
the edge of freight, and from black
mass within came the snort and stamp
and whinny of horses
Gale took in the scene in ore quick
glance, then sank down at the foot
of the mesquite. He had naturally
expected 20 see more men. But the
situation was by no means new. This
was one, or part of one, Of the raider
bands marrying the border. They
were stealing horses, or driving a herd
already stolen. Gale revolved ques.
tons in mind Had this trio of out
laws run across Laid? It was not
likely, for in that event they might
not have been so comfortable and care
free in camp. Were they waiting for
more members of their gang? That
was very probable. With Gale, how
ever, the most important considera-
ton was how to get his horse to wa
ter. Sol must have a drink if it cost
a fight. There was stern reason for
Gale to hurry eastward along the trail.
He thought it best to go back to
where he had left his horse and not
make any decisive move until day
light
With the same noiseless care he
had exercised in the advance, Gale re-
treated until it was safe for him to
rise and walk on down the arroyo.
He found B}anco Sol contentedly
grazing. Galt carried his saddle,
blankets and bags into the lee Of
little greasewood-co covered mound from
around whic}, the wind had cut the
soil: and here, in a wash, he risked
building a fire. By this time the wind
was piercingly cold. Gales hands We're
numb, and he moved them to and fro
in the little blaze. Then he made
coffee in a cup, cooked some slices of
bacon on the end of a stick, and took
q couple of hard biscuits from a sad
d1ebag. OF these his meal consisted.
After that he removed the halter from
RIanco SOL, intending to leave him
free to Craze for a while.
