himself to Franniston here in Bellaine
and asked for Job. He was given
one without question. Nothing was
said to indicate that Franniston
knew his real identity, nothing done
to show that Frannlston had the slight
est idea that this man was the father
of the girl to whom Franniston had
given his own name, but whom he had
not adopted. So the relationship be-
gan. Then, a year later, the truth
dawned on Jim. Bartholomew showed
up In Bellaine, under the name of Bar

true identity of the girl, and she would
be stained with the blackness OF be-

killed his wife. So he had Jim in

Find Priceless Relics
BeloID AnftDerp Street

Golden altar vessels dating from
the Tenth century have been found in
an underground passage in an Ant
werp street recently, Pierre Van PaaS
sen reports, In the Atlanta Constftu-
ton. The passage was like a long
tunnel and experts claim that 1t was
formerly used by a religious order
whose house was situated on the out
skirts of the city. The friars used the
tunnel to visit the cathedral when they
wished to avoid walking through the
streets. The tunnel ends abruptly and
the site of the cloister to which 1t led
is even in doubt. Near the altar yes
sells of priceless value were the In
evitabie skeletons nearly always dis
covered In connection with such finds
There is no way to estimate when the
vessels were hidden. Some advance
the opinion that they were hidden from
the English raiders, others say they ex-
cited the envy of Spanish soldiers. The
most likely explanation is that they
were brought to safety in the days
of inconoclast oufrages, when mobs in
vaded the churches and slashed price
less paintings, smashed inimitably
wrought gold and silver ad0rnments
and tore invaluable Illuminated BOOKS
and manuscripts into shreds.

knew to be a murderer? Why
There were too many questions,
even for conjectures. More, Jim had

was broi-en-hearted and weeping. Bart

curled In a chair, weeping. The wom-

Then the sobs came again. Mrs. Jor-

parted An hour later
In the big living-room downstairs,

the window, talking to Bart Rogers.

Jim, even If he Is a murderer. Per-

Neither do lin way" was the
quick rejoinder. "Old Jim may have
invented the whole story. Certainly
there is nothing but his word for it,
however.
According to what he told Anita,
he and young lawyer, Mason Bar
tholomew, were rivals for the same
girl back in Alkonia. She had be-
come engaged to Bartholomew, simply,
according to Jim, because he seemed
to exert some sort Of hypnotic infiu-
ence over her. She was afraid of
him-even after she had given her
promise. She told Jim of her fears
and of her dislike; once she ran away
from him. AS a result, Jim did not
give up his suit.

frightened than ever. Then Jim, ac-

OF course, they came back to Al

He offered Jim his hand and told him
that 1t was only natural that the best

One morning Jim opened his mall

some man in town whose name Anita

then went to the man in question, ac-

Journalism About
to Re~Enter Mode

Journalism Is about to re-enter the
mode as result of the unprecedented
extension of the sports vogue Every
new fashion begins as heresy and
ends in the midst of its apparent hey
day, when it becomes known far and
wide as an essential" Glance back,
says Paris fashion writer in the
New York Herald-Tribune, at the his
tory Of the mode as you remember it
and notice how invariably tOmorrow's
vogue has been ridiculed the day be-
fore and principally by those who
later became its most feyerish ex-
ponents. What would your Victorian
mother have said of the -eorsetless fig
ures and short skirts of this enlight-
ened day?-and don't you shudder
when you think of the anguished COM
ments of the pater familias. More re-
Gently consider the case of the straight
line and the fiare-the narrow sill
houette had become religion with
couturier and milady alike, and it was
bruited over the universe as the prime
essential of the modern mode. It's
freedom, It's simplicity, it's youth were
destined to make it the basis of every
new Style-it was the only logical out
line for the mOderns, if you listened
to the oratiOns of It's overenthusiasts
Despite all Of which relentless logic
the straight and narrow line has been
succeeded by the fare, just as its COM
panion-in-arms, eternal youth, which
might better have been named peren-
NAL puerilism, has gracefully surren-
dered to the charms OF post-adoles-
cence. And now a third movement, a
result of these preceding two, but
more tangible and more significant, Is
impending. Journalism, not yet Ches-
terfieldian, but at least heading toward
that gracious IDEAL is slowly but dis
tinctly replacing informality from the
regions Of fashion, and the sports
mode is being retired to the limita-
lions of it's own field.
Sports Clothes.
Sports clothes originally were i'm
posed upon Paris from the outside
they were only the foster children Of
the french couture, the result of q de-
mand from London and New York.
Yet they attained the quickest and
widest vogue in the history OF modern
fashions, and the sports spirit quickly
sought wider spheres than its own.
And found them. At first it reached
and conquered the domain of informal
daytime clothes, after which formal
afternoon frOcks, and occasionally the
mode du soir succumbed to it's irresist-
ible infection. You may remember
Palm Beach and those Riviera villas,
Nice, Monte Carlo and Cannes of last
winter. The chic demoiselles at these
rendezvous wore the Identical costume
at the afternoon dansant or at dinner
as they would wear and did wear at
the tennis court. So similar were the
styles worn at the different functions,
so widespread had the spirit of infor-

the sports vogue. Her anchor was

New Swinging Silhouette.
In the Lanvin versions the flare
translates itself into the new swing
ing silhouette, aptly called kinetic by
the ingenious Lucien Lelong. The
beauty of the swinging silhouette is
revealed when its wearer is in mo.

lOrdly late-Victorian. There is not the
accompanying swish which character
lied that much-petticoated lady, but
the gracefulness of the moving frock
is easily greater than that of it's pro-
totypes of two decades ago. 1t doesn't
belong in any part of the sports cate

cred one of the most eminent of the
differentiators of fall fashions.

cries, all of these featured on day

tinctly formal note. Even the peren-

being developed in metal lanes and

this collection as a straw that shows

nevertheless it requires no clairvoyant
to sense its coming.
The full-skirted silhouette, the rising

broidery by fur are prominent details
of the collections which are outlined

The details of the Chanel collection

Interpretation of the MODE permits
many things, even the straight line
with a straight, slim corsage some
times arranged in a zouave effect that
is infinitely becoming and suggests a
higher waistline.
Coats, whether straight or flared
are trimmed with fur. Many of them
have shaped fur f1ounce and wide
collar and cuffs. Others are fur lined
with still another suggestion of fur
appearing on the outside.
DrecoII-The 1880 Mode.
DrecolI has long been justly cele-
brated for rich, dignified gowns such
as are worn by women of unuues-
toned taste, and the present collec-
ton lives up to this reputation in
every way. Dignity, restraint and
good taste are its marked character
lstics with a distinct novelty In the
tight-itting corsages and strongly
fared skirts that are a feature OF sew
eral models.
Like most houses that study close
ly the requirements of modern ex-
istence, Drecoll is showing the Jumper
dress only for sports and morning
wear. He makes it with a short full
skirt into which circular godets are
inlet all around.
The high collar is being tentative
~ launched in this house but it re-
mains to be seen whether women will
be prepared to adopt it though IT is
in full harmony With the actually
fitted corsage from which only the
bones are lacking to make it an ex-
act counterpart of the style that pre-
vailed in 1880.
Coats are often fitted to the waist.
but are sometimes draped round the
figure when cut straight.
