Many OF the couturiers subscribe to
the banded type of trimming, for the
tendency, one may be reminded again.
Is toward tailored and relatively sim
pie effects.
Allied stripes still occur on plain
surfaces which, for decorative rea-
sons may be striped here and there.
and pipings OF strongly contrasting
materials are a feature of costumes
exploited for the fortunates who con-
Germ themselves with summer clothes
in February. Bands often widen into
stripes broad enough to constitute
panel note either from backline to
skirt or from the waist down. In the
latter category the more usual treat
ment h not a straight panel, but
gathered or pleated one. Even in
frocks of linen, in both heavy and
handkerchief weight, the panel ap-
pears. On one lovely French blue
handmade frock, the wide front panel
is emphasized by having overlapping
bands of the material embroidered
at one edge.
Striped frocks of the chemisiere or
shirt type often have the self-trim-
mings of the stripes used in an oppo-
site direction, and in this type of
dress either the bosom or front panel
Is employed. Mems silk shirtings.
striped flannels even to the extremes
of black stripes and some crossbar
effects. are popular as evidenced by
the frocks seen at southern beaches.
Flannel is among the oldtime IA
vorites revived, and although pessi-
mists insist that alpaca would not
be wanted In America In spite of its
success abroad, It has been found that
all good shops are having calls aor
frocks made Of this practical warm

 It only took the wooden hobby horse five minutes to catch up with the house and the Raggedys jumped upon the porch while the hobby horse ran along the side.
 Whoa house on wheels." Raggcdy Ann commanded, but the house on wheels kept right on.
 "Minga the Witch has worked her magic on it, that is certain!" Raggedy Andy said "Ics, sir!" Raggedy Ann agreed. And it is taking us right back to wherever she is now!"

 "Indeed we shall notl" Raggedy Andy replied. You just run along home and mind. your own business, that's what"

ticket which entitled me to sail three Altaria.
 For of course, it was necessary for me to ply my trade in my own coun- try. It is true that I had a smat- tering of French, but I did not con- verse easily in that language. l would be handicapped at the outset, if 1 dealt with French criminals. | There was, it is true, certain risk in returning to New York. My first venture into theft had been at the expense of Daragon, the Fifth Avenue jeweler. But it was not a certainty that Daragon knew who had robbed him. Moreover, looking at myself in the glt-bordered mirror in my bedroom on the Rue Daunou, I seriously doubted if Daragon would be able to recognize me. On the evening that l had abstracted from his pocket the ring which had @ougbt me funds wherewith once again to live like a gentleman, my hair had been long and unkempt, my cheeks sunken and ghastly white. Now there were no hollows under my eyes; my flesh was firm, and my skin was red with health. Then had looked like consumptive; now looked like an athlete. could discount any fears of recognition by the jeweler.
 And there were just as many per sons of illgotten wealth in New York as there were in Paris. l was not narrowing my opportunities by re- turning to country with which ] was familiar. Indeed, as I contem- plated my return, l wished that l had never left New York. For now that l planned activity, it did not seem as feasible, as simple as it had seemed when I was merely studying the careers of masters of crime. l suddenly wondered, as l sat in my window, just when, where and how l would begin my operations.
 For it is easy enough to speculate idly to ascertain the weaknesses whereby others have failed, to survey the future, to state that one will do this and avoid that; but actuality differs from speculation. After all,
 
 the attorney can demonstrate that other lawyers err in their handling of cases; the patient must come to the doctor before the physician can prove his new theory of diagnosis; and op- portunity must come to me before l could begin the practice of my new profession.
 Up to now, living comfortably and lazily. l had not given much thought to practice; l had devoted myself to theory. But the sight of all the wealth exhibited in the Place de POpera this spring afternoon had given a tillip to ambition. had act cd immediately. But having acted, to the extent of purchasing transpor- tation to New York, I began to won der to what purpose.

 How Pete had managed 10 give tho signal Harry Underwood had re- auosted, 10 keep Mamie from jump ing. at the same time to steer his ear toward the curb was a puzzle 10 me, but he had accomplished 1t. though fancied there was distinct relief fin his eyes when Mir, Underwood's sincwy hand closed upon the girls wrist. and his brilliant black eyes bore down her sulky ones, while he mur- mured jelly:
