CHAPTER 36

Marian Horton had gone to her sisters room with but one thought ir her mind. This was her fathers wei fare. B
 She had determined to put aside all resentment of Lois attitude to ward herself and to appeal to the old CT girls love for her parent.
 Yet, when Lois met her well-meant suggestion with haunting speech Marian felt her temper rising. Witf mighty effort she concealed all evi dence of it for the moment.
 My dear" she said, her voice calm fancy that I am excusing myself nl any way. What I have said to you applies even more to me. I admit that I am often quick and impatient yes-and impertinent-to Dad. My conduct toward him has been far less exemplary than yours. You are much more gentle with him than am I. All I meant to suggest was that if you and I must have our little alterca- tions-as, unfortunately, seems un- avOidable--we should not indulge in them where Dad is. For ne is not we'll"
 Il am not anxious to have any rows where he is," Lois declared And pardon me if I repeat that am not the one who starts them. If you will do your part l am quite willing to do mine."
 Thank you," Marian said briefly, turning toward the door.
 Lois checked her. Wait a moment | I to your suggestion about not quarrel ing in fathers presence, am not ac knowledging that there is anything much the matter with him. I am with him so much more than you arc that I would see if he was really i'll He is worrying about business-that's all.'
 And that worry is affecting his health seriously" Marian declared.
 T do not agree with you that it is T do think that he needs recreation That, by the way, was why I urged him to go to Mir. Hale's for cards last evening. But it was only to change the current of his thoughts. He eats we'll and has fine color."
 ''He has too much color,' Marair insisted, "and he probably eats i'm prudently. But, putting all that aside, he does worry
 "Yes. I know he does," Lois gazed straight at her sister. And he wor ries about other things besides busi ness. Again. forgive me if say it but you set the fashion of frank speech just now-he would be mrrcl happier if you did certain things that you do not do, and left undone certain things that you do.b
 And if there were some health II me! Marian supplemented, with ar effort to he jocose.

SEWING BASKET.
A Snug Winter Bathrobe

There are many disadvantages in the shop-bought bathrobes for children, but the only alternative is to make one, One suggestion that is not only easy to make but which has a few very i'm portant features not found in the usual run of wrappers. It is made slip over fashion, thus doing away with q belt and keeping the little wearer abso- lutely draught proof. Belts are always getting lost anyway, and if a cord is used it seems to get tied in hopeless knots. Then, too, you can make the length just right, so there will be no stumbling or cold ankles.
 The pattern is the old standby, flat kimomo style. The sleeves are cut straight with plenty of room at the armholes by slanting the seam. An other feature is the collar, composed of a straight piece of material seven inches wide, sewed on straight around the close-fitting neck. with little open ing down the front just far enough to permit easy access. This collar is nice and cosy about the ears and fastens with two large buttons. As a final touch, to make the bathrobe a truly childish affair, applique little animals made of gay colored ginghams.
 The best material to make the wrap per of would be gray knitted sweater cloth with the shaggy warm surface, and firm binding all round of gray ribbon would make the neatest edge. that placed their love upon a better footing. With their united benefits they could now live in affluence for eyer.'"
 "Oh, what silly nonsense you do talk !" snfifed Mrs. Jarr.

LATEST FROM PARIS

PARIS. France. - The Franco-American dress maker. Romanz, who opened with considerable success two seasons ago on the Rue de la Paix. is showing a new collec- tion, two modeIs from which are illustrated. It is obvious that Romarz finds his insplrat ton among the French styles, but cleverly adapting them to the American taste. he succeeds in pro- ducing models that have Fall the chick of the French designer, com bined with the comfort and practicability the American woman de- mands.
 On the left is a charm ing semi-sport frock of white crepe de chine. The up-standing collar is of orange suede com bined with bright green. By slashing the collar, the otherwise stiff effect of the leather is avoided and the little tabs are allowed to turn and "flop" as they will. Orange and green sued c pipings alternate in edg-. ing the narrow flounces on the skirt. A belt and pipings at the wrist are also of leather
 The other model is very youthful aod be- coming in it's simplicity of line. Blacky crepe marocain is trimmed with tiny gallons in gold, green and rose. A giddy parrot, worked in bright . hued silks. swings buoy antly at the left side of the skirt. The dashing bow. poised on the hip, is lined with rose and green silk.

IlECNY

The original spelling of the word decoy was ''duck-coy.." And ''coy" in the Norfolk dialect means a decoy for ducks or coop for Holsters. The meaning of the phrase "duck-coy" was similar to that of the word decoy- the difference being that while decoy means method for the attraction oi ducks and other wild fowl for the con. veniencs of the hunter. "duck-coy" was the name given in the Fens to the pounds or traps for wild fowl.
 However, the word decoy does not always mean the indirect method of attracting the wild fowl that the hunt CT may shoot them. Some bird hunt CTS used trained. tame ducks that "decoy", their wild relatives into an elaborate system of channels leading into nets, where the ducks are caught beyond hope of escape.
