With reasonable economy in arma-

able taxation, the French will bring
the franc back as rapidly as they
choose. To sell France short is

There Is delightful variety in the frocks for summer wear, but par tiuclarly smart is the gown on which there Is bit of fringe. Both day time and evening things are charm ing with skirts and sometimes the entire frock covered with this silken flowing ornament.
 A lovely frock is one of crepe back mist grey satin. It has an extremely long bodice and joining it and the skirt of grey fringe is wide band of embroidered grapes done in the same tone. The hem line is irregu- lar and the fringe follows its pat tern. The sleeves are short and the high round neck is split in front. A scarf collar ties around the throat and makes d soft bow in front. The ends of the strcamers have the em broidcry and fringe that occur on the skirt. The skirt is made extreme ly narrow, and to give 1t ease Of movement is split on one side and tiny knife pleats are set in under the fringe Thus both the slender sil- houette and comfort to the wearer are achieved.
 This slender frock of grey satin features the scarf collar and fringe skirt, two smart notes of the mode.

AN INVITATION

Again the girl hesitated, but l kept still. I knew if I acted too curious she would say no more. I knew that here was girl who had been coddled and protected all her life until she fairly had an obsession for freedom.
 Seeing that I looked interested. she went on:
 Harry met me at Encheon to- day and told me that 1t was his birthday and I gave him the hand kerchiefs that I had bought for Bud. You see, had been telling him that it was my brothers birthday and showed him the handkerchiefs, and ne said, Isn't it strange that your brother and I have the same birth day. Of course. after that I was delighted to give them to him."
 No doube he was delighted, too" I said to myself, for I had hunch that Harry was a gigolo. But again 1 kept still.
 You know I like you" said the girl.o 'I am sure you are what Harry would call a regular fellow I wish you would come out and have din- ner with me tonight. Not one of the family will be at home. And would like to talk with you. really need "a girl friend"

 "I never have heard Of ants tab. ing care Of aphjds." said Peter m an urbelieytnE sort of voice.

 Peter promptly went over 10 the foot of the alder and looked care fully. Sure enough. there were ants going up and others coming down. He saw that they were all going or coming from the branches on which those white aphids had collected. So he began to suspect that what Redwirg had said must be true.
 "I never have heard of such thing" said Peter. q didn't suppose ants had anything 10 do with aphids," He said this out loud. Red wing heard him.
 "I euesn," said Redwing, "you haven't used your eyes a whole lot, Peter Ants take the greatest care of aphids. They even fight their enemies for them. Yes, sir, they even fight their battles for them. I wouldn't be bit surprised If some of these ants , here are on guard now"
 How can ants fight birds?" de- manded Peter.
 RedWing looked quite as puzzled as he felt Then it came to him what was in Reter's mind. "Ho, ho, ho, ha h ha," he laughed. Do you think birds are the only enc mics aphids ha Q? Some birds do eat aphids, but the numbers they kill is nothing 10 the numbers that their other enemies kill.

 You certainly can. And what is Iyour name?" I questioned in turn.
 "Joan Meredith. Now you won't fail me, will you, Judy? I'll send my car for you. It will be at the employees entrance when the store closes.
 NO, don't send it there, Joan. It will make lot of talk.

Peter Rabbit looked up at Red wing the Blackbird sitting in the alder above Peters head. What is this you are telling me about ants and honey-deW? What is honey-dew and what have ants got to do with 1t? And what have ants and honey dew got to do with those white aphiGs up ,a that alder branch close to your flt?"

 That there was no turning Kath- crime from her pledge to Lucia Meredith I saw as I looked into the steadfast eyes Of the little nurse. Even had she shared the fantastic almost monstrous, notion which was mine concerning the plans Of inc sick woman, it would have made no difference in her determination. My brothcr-cousiu' wife is of the stun of which the old martyrs were made, and one might as well try to shake the Pyramids as to change any de- cision or hers which has her con- science behind il.

 The path I must follow did not lead toward Katherine. however, but in an entirely different direction. Therefore there was no shadow of excuse for annoying her with any further protests. What I planned must be performed without any slightest inkliug on her part of what I was doing. With queer little feeling that I was playing the hypo- crite, I pulled her face down to mine and returned the caress she had given me.
 You stubborn little saint,' I said. 'I won't bother you any more about 1t. And don't worry about me. I'll find some way out"
