WHITE JADE THE sMARTEsT
Rich White Stone Decoration Promises
to Supersede the Popular
Green Ornaments.

One who knows has this to say of
jade: Green jade is still popular. In
deed, its lovely color makes it we'll
nigh irresistible, but since fashion
says white. the cool green ornaments
will soon be superseded
"Jade comes from China, where for
ages it has been considered one of the
most desirable Of stones. The name
comes from Spanish word, which in
turn comes from Latin word mean
ing side 1t was used in Rome, as it
was in Greece and Egypt, and in Rome
1t was supposed to have some medic
fnal qualities and was worn to cure
pain in the side; hehce its name.
"The stone has also been found In
the ruins of an ancient civilization in
Mexico and in the remains of the lake
dwellers' houses in Switzerland"

luctance, observes fashion writer
IN the New York Times. However,
there was no gainsaying that short
skirt was of necessity a simple skirt,
and there was small chance of modi-
flying its outline to meet The demands
of particular figure. Today de-
signer has much more leeway in the
matter of individuality in skirts, with
the happy result that, by means of
clever Grapes and folds, one can as
sumo a statuesque height and decep-
tive slenderness if one so pleases.
Few women, if they could be induced
to admit it, would not prefer to sac
rifice a bit of boosted convenience
which went with the flapper mode for
the certain knowledge that, in the
sweeping lines Of the newer gown,
they gained in feminine charm.
The fashion of draping is boon to
slender and stout alike. The average
woman, however beautifully she
dresses, generally shares some little
secret with her modiste-the necessity
of concealing a slight unevenness of
her figure here and the wisdom of
emphasizing her gooG points else
where. This the draped mode accom-
plishes to perfection. The fullness
is adjusted where it will be most use
full and becoming, and severe simple
ity is placed where it is most discreet.
Through it all there is no hard
and fast rule to govern ones per-
sonal preference. Although the sill
houette is more or less fixed, 1t tends
to encourage rather than inhibit
varied notifications. 1t. is extremely
fortunate that this is possible, for it
means that when each woman works
out for herself an adaptation of the
current ideas in clothes the general
standard of artistic costuming will be
appraciably raised. We know our
own minds about what is becoming
and what is frankly ridiculous much
more today than we did ten years ago,
when only the bravest soul dared
question the appropriateness of what
was quite the thing" We decline to
permit glib salesperson to hurry us
into taking a garment that is fashion
able rather than becoming.

BARLEY glanced up at the sound
and said, "That must be Rogers"
The next moment Rance, bowling
as he always did in announcing any
one, ushered Rogers into the room.
Rogers had been At the head of the
Central Office for about five years. In
that time he had built up for himself

"Hello, John" to BARLEY and word
to me, he took cigar from the box

Then. leaning across the table, he
picked up one of the volumes. The
book fell open at a picture; he start

THE MILLINERY FOR SPRING
Half Cloths End Straw AIovers Among
First Fabrics Making
Appearance.

Half cloths and straw allovers are
among the first fabrics to make their
appearance for the early spring mil
linery season, and these are being
shown in the dark colors for the most
part, made up into tailored types,
while the southern lines show the
brilliant colors in faille and taffeta.
There are new combinations and
weaves appearing in these straw
cloths, and one Of the latest is the
Persian haircloth that carries the reds
and greens and touches of tinsel
thread through it, but through which
the black predominates. Then there
are nacre haircloths that are very
good looking, used almost entirely for
draped toques OF rolls on crown or
brim.

Rogers took his cigar from his
mouth and responded with a grin,
"What we call today crook"
/ could see that there was some
thing on the chiefs mind, but just
what it was we were not to learn for
some time. He talked, first about
the rain, then about the baseball
team, in fact of everything but the
purpose that had brought him. That
was his way, as we both knew. It
was not until he had lighted second
cigar and had been silent several mo-
ments that he turned to BARLEY and
said:
John. l have case for you"
BARLEY threw me quick glance
then answered, But you know, Rog-

The chief nodded, but added, well,
this won't be much of case. It's
not my affair, anyway. happened to
see the governor the other day, and
he asked me to get you to look into
the matter and make him a report"
l glanced at BARLEY. The governor
of the state did not, as rule, interest
himself in criminal matters. If this
was a case that he wished BARLEY
to investigate. then it must be some
thing very unusual, indeed By the
little CLEAN of interest in his eyes,
1 could see that he agreed with me.
"What is the case?" he asked.
''Well," answered Rogers after a
short pause, Il don't suppose you
know anything about it; though you
may have seen it mentioned in the
papers since you returned. 1t all
started year ago. 1t was rob
berry"
BARLEY gave little exclamation Of
disgust. you know that robbery
cases are out of my line. There is
never anything of interest In them.
Besides a robbery that took place q
year ago must be all settled by this
time"
Rogers took his cigar from his lips,
