 Finally the Sheartsick wife left the breakfast things standing. and dressing kurriedly, went into town. She might see lawyer, she might, she hardly knew. what she might do.
 Chance-Fate-who knows what di- rects the footsteps of estraying mortals put her on an elevated train that stopped near Louis office. It was nearly noon. Habit or instinct made her long for one more of their jolly surprise luncheons. Louis was never too busy to be glad, of her coming never too occupied to make little fete of the occasion.
 Louis sat at his desk reading a letter and he was angry. She had never seen that white heat of concentrated rage in his face before. This was not her husband, this fury that struck the table and then tore soiled sheet of paper into a million bits, cursing mean while as she had not known human be, ings could.
 He looked up, saw his wife and stopped dead. g.
 Then he sprang to his feet and with bound had her in his arms, murmur. ing endearments such as even the honey moon had not held. Presently Bertha felt something wet on her cheek and peering sideways at her husband saw that he was crying. t.ss. sssss .s..
 The dearest wifesr-the tfuest-oh the vile 'wretches who sdoe such things he muttered: What had he been read ing that so stirred him? Then she saw an envelope laying on the desk and reaching out of his arms picked it up It was thin, bluish bit of paper, the kind for sale in cheap stationery shops But it was the writing which caught her eye. She had seen it only the day before when the next-door gossip had scrawled receipt for a c. 0. D.
 What was Mrs. Flynn writing to you about?" she asked.
 Flynn? Where, what? I had no letter from her, would I get letters from that"
 But, Louis, dear. this is her writ ing, l saw it yesterday" The answer was a fresh hugging and more endear- ments, intermingled with queer excla- nations of thankfulness which Bertha did not understand until that night when Louis told her of the anonymous letter traducing her. and how. now that she knew the writer to be the poison tongued Mrs. Flynn, surely, the door would be forever locked to such in truders. He did not know why Bertha cried and kissed him so fervently as she promised to never listen again to the Mrs. Flynns of, life, whether next door or not.
 With shame she remembered how quickly Louis had disbelieved the lies about her, while she had listened, list ehed-aimost thought the falsehoods true. S,- .@ ,~

PalmBeachC,ives Good Idea Of
 Coming Modes

The Palm Beach season is now we'll launched and we are getting good idea of what we shall be wearing as soon as the New York, mercury regis ters present Florida temperature.
 Extreme simplicity is the outstand- ing feature of frocks for daytime wear. Many prints are seen but they are ia the minority when compared with plain and striped fabrics. Straight lines pre- dominate and belted frocks are about 25 per cent in evidence.
 The middy frock is very popular and favor seems to be divided between fan mel and crepe. In theseS two-piece dresses white is especially favored. In fact white is by far the leading color for daytime wear and is pfominent at evening gatherings.
 The touch of bright color is usually supplied to the white costume by the scarf which may be entirely of a bright hue or simply have the ends in color. Sometimes the sash ends provide the only color. Lace scarfs are much in evidence for evening wear and these are usually of net or tnlle. sometimes merely picoted in gold or silver or de sign in metal threads adbfn the ends. These scarfs often nAtehssthe evening gown and then again they safe in con trasting- color.
 Bathing suits are brixht in color and striking in developasxit. A new note is the high necklace which seems to be popular. Some suits have the kboyish round collars, others are col larless but quite close at the neckline. A New York woman wears an, attrac- tive suit composed of plain black satin kniekers and short overblouse of print in Chinese effect gathered in a band at the necklipe. 1.--i,.

The tendency to emphasize the tube silhouette becomes more pronounced as the season advances and since there is a $ sarneness about these straight slim models, designers have had to expend much thought upon details in order to achieve the necessary individuality and distinction.
 In the frock shown in today's sketch Ia clever fashion note is seen in 'the elongated points at each side. To gain this effect circular. piece is attached to the under slip and joined at each side to the back panel which is plain and straight. ~
 It is charming little frock and its distinctive simplicity and lovely color ing have decided appeal The fonnda- tion is of. coral color crepe de chine. Over this is worn, a straight slip of coral georgette embroidered in gold tinsel. Anything simpler and smarter could not be imagined and In all It's details it reflects the fashion tenden- |cies of the moment.
 A model of this type has infinite possibilities and could he copied in other colors as well as in different com binations of materials.
  Within the past week a ndumber of new models have appeared that em- phasize in most agreeable fashion the chic of black combined with lacquer red. One frock has a skirt of pleated black satin and long Chinese tunic of the satin covered with fine embroidery done in lacquer red silk.
