CHAPTER 22-THE SINCEREST
 FLLATTERY

Lolette lounged in bed, lounged on silk. black silk, with q vivid, Oriental kimono about her shoulders. At the bedside was little ebony table-for ebony was I.olette's favorite wood, a wood made by the gods, it seemed to set off her flaming beauty--and on the table were the articles of petit de- jeuner, the exquisite silver coffee uten- sils, the fragile cup, the rolls. From the corner of her twisted mouth de- pended a slender black cigarette-holder, and the smoke of a Russian cigarette wreaehed up about the brushed-out hair.
 She tossed aside the seventh news paper she had scanned that morning They lay on the floor at the foot of the bed, all around her, crumpled. some of them torn viciously, all defaced by her slim white hands and her rage
 For each and every one of them blazed forth the triumph of La Phalene It was stupendouS and it was incred. ible. In night this simpering Puritan had leaped to the stars. More than one of the journals described her as the greatest dancer in the world. All of them voiced her praises in no uncertain way.
 Lolette sat very still when the last of the papers was tossed in a ball to the floor, sat with her hands clasped about her knees under the silkiness of the bed clothes and stared through the wreath of smoke at the silver and gray tapestry of the wall.
 Like all her kind, she was vain to the degree of folly. It had been outside the pale of her calculations that ever there could exist her equal as a dancer-tO say nothing of her superior. She was Lolette-the premiere danseuse. It filled the world for her and blinded her sight to every other possibility There had been but one Lolette. There could never be another.
 And yet-there was La Phalene, come like the sun oyer the edge of the unknown, dimming the lustre of the moon, yet high in the heavens, but like to die as the new light spread across the world.
 LOlette watched the overlong ash from her cigarette drop on to the silken cOverlet with eyes which did not consciously see the happening. All this was such. shock that she felt stunned and helpless. For she herself

SHOES FOR THE SPORTS

SHOES FOR THE SPORTS
 TNHE shoe of the we'll dressed man
 does not call attention to his
 foot, but to, his good taste. This distinction is not so subtle as it is sensible. The recent vogue of the thick soled brogue shows some signs of wan ing and there is already demand for lighter-weight oxfords which harmonize more fitly with soft summer clothes. Furthermore, unless signs are all away, we shall soon see plain black oxfords return to something like their former favor for no other reason than that the wearer seems. to be tiring of the long reign of tan and brown.
 A golf shoe which is highly regarded is tMat having the English crepe rub Der sole, a special composition that pre- vents slipping and lends nearly perfect stance. This shoe is lighter than leath- er and has more give-and-ta&e. More over, it does away with '.washboard" soles, corrugations, calks, studs. hob nails and other attachments designed to grip the ground.
 Americans, falling into the comfort able dog-trot of habit, are prone to own too few pairs of shoes and to wear the same shoes upon all occasions. In truth, there are just as sharp divisions

One Year To Live
sy loHn HUNTER

Brunei himself threw her cloak about her shoulders.
 "ThAt was good. You pleased them.'' She went up to her dressing room.
 She went down for> her second dance in a different frame of mind. The ap. plause which had greeted the little fragment she had offered had steadied her and given her confidence, though she knew that this second appearance was the great hazard, the thing which must make or break her. In the first act she had shown that she was a good dancer. In the second she had to prove that she was great.
 Afterwards, when the account of that second appearance was written for the newspapers, it was called the Triumph of La Phalene.
 The slow, haunting music, the half lights, the lyrical movements of the dancer, movements in which there was poetry and music unexpressed by the orchestra, gripped the audience, 80 that it sat still, strained and silent. There was a pathos in it which no words could ever have told and no brush have portrayed. All the soul of Elise was in it, her fears and her de- spair. She stripped her thoughts and her emotions for the multitude to see, and in the stripping she made them understood. X
 The music dropped and died at last. The dim lights dimmed still further. From twilight the stage became dark ened. The dancer seemed to melt into nebulous space at the back of the stage, her hands out-flung appealingly. The curtain dropped. It came like a clap of thunder on the stiffness of a summers night-ap- plause, appalling in it's volume, rolling to the stars above the theatre, crash ing on the ears of Elise, as the lights on the stage leapt up and the curtain lifted to disclose her.
 She same forward, trembling, bow ing, smiling, hardly aware of herself. Brunei was beside her, holding her hand and bowling towards her. Bou- quets were being handed up, and she gathered them, dropped them, and gath cred them again.
 She heard Brunei speaking-a few well-chosen sentences, with thanks as their dominant note, and an excuse for her inability to respond to their re- quests for a speech. Yet still they de- manded it, and at last she stepped to the edge of the stage. Silence came down on the place.
 She stammered something's, words which seemed to her incoherent.
 Thank you," she said at last. Thank you"
 The curtain dropped again while their applause rang out afresh, and behind it Brunei turned to. her, his eyes alight, his cheeks unwontedly flushed.
 It is triumph" he said. Ut is tri. umph !"

between styles in shoes as there are in suits and hats, gloves and cravats. A mans street or businesss hoe should be simple and sturdy, suggesting in its lines a fortnight practicality of pur- pose. Contrariwise, dress or formal shoes may be more delicate of toe, whilst sport shoes may be more decora- tive of trim.
 The shoe shown in the sketch is. the white buckskin model with cap, fore part, eyelet stays and backstay trimmed with dark mahogany leather. The soles are black or red rubber either with the spring heel or the solid heel.
 The now familiar kiltie brogan, with the slashed leather tongue, reminiscent of ''ye banks and braes o'bonny Doon," Is still spruce and sportsmanlike shoe for the golfer, because it is true-to-type.

WHO THEY ARE

WHO THEY ARE ELISE DUCHANIER is q beautiful and innocent young girl of gentle birth, who, by misfortune. has sunk to be a dresser in small Montmar tre theatre. Elise has the care of a bed-ridden sister, who is attended by an elderly doctor named Lapierre who loves Elise. The young girl is dresser to the Parisian star
 L0LETTE, gorgeous creature of flaming passions, glarfng appearance, and equally glaring morals. Elise's modesty and beauty are a thorn in Lolette's jealous side, and the star desires the downfall of her little dresser. Lolette's manager and pro- tector ia
 MAURICE BRUNEI, the great entre- preneur, while another follower of Lolette's is a certain Count .Mordac. To this latter Lolette confides the fact that she is determined to ruin Elise.
 Elise meets a young American named TOM KENDRICK, whom she at once recognizes as a man of different stamp from the hangers-on of the theatre Kendrick asks Elise to acs company him to a great bal masque and the girl accepts. At this ball, in pursuance of her plan, Lolette in- duces Mise to dance with her, 50 that the little dresser attracts the attention of the famous Brunei the man through whose hands mary beautiful girls have passed. Brunei offers to make Elise a star-on con- ditions that the pure, young girl in- dignantly rejects. One day Elise faints dead away in her room. Dr. Lapierre, who is summoned, reluc- tantiy informs the girl that she has only a short time to live.
 The doctor asks Elise to marry him but she refuses; she has come to q decision. Since she had only a year . to live. she will live to the full. Bru. nePs promise to make her a star springs to her mind, and she agrees to dance for him, signing a contract which is financially in her favor. Dr. Lapierre tries vainly to dissuade her from dancing for Brunei. Elise comes out as a dancer under the name of La Phalene.
 CHATTER 2f-THE FOOTLIGHTE CHE had always imagined that once
 on she might forget the audience
 and think only of the dance; but in this she found she was wrong. Int audience, quiet, watching, woven by her imagination into one great hvint creature, ready to acclaim or destroy according to it's whim, dominated bel thoughts entirely. But, curiousl, enough, it did not frighten her now that she fronted it. Rather did it in trigue her. She wanted to see what she could do with it, whether sht could sway it to her will, catch thu fancy, please it. The dance ended in what seemed ar incredibly short space of time, and immediately came an outburst of ap plause. She withdrew lowing and smiling, while yet they clapped.
