This aloneness was to Nepeese bur-
dened with no thought of danger.
There were times, now, when the
thought of being alone was pleasant
to her, when she wanted to dream by
herself, when she visioned things into
the mysteries of which she would not
admit even Pierrot. She was growing
into womanhood-just the sweet, closed
bud of womanhood as yet-still girl
with the soft velvet of girlhood in
her eyes, yet with the mystery of
woman stirring gently in her soul, as
if the Great Hand were hesitating be-
tween awakening her and letting her
sleep a little longer. At these times,
when the opportunity came to steal
hours by herself, she would put on the
red dress and do up her wonderful
hair as she saw 1t in the pictures of
the magazines Pierrot had sent up
twice year from Nelson House.
On the second day of Pierrot's alb
sence Nepeese dressed herself like this,
but today she let her hair cascade in
shining glory about her, anu about
her forehead bound circlet of red
ribbon. She was not yet done. To
day she had marvellous designs. On
the wall close to her mirror she had
tucked a large page from a woman's
magazine, and on this page was a
lovely vision of curls. Fifteen hun
dred miles north of the sunny Cali
fornia studio in which the picture had
been taken, Nepeese, with pouted red
lips and puckered forehead, was fight
ing to master the mystery of the
other girls curls
She was looking into her mirror,
her face flushed and her eyes aglow
in the excitement of the struggle to

chosen shoes of the types which meet
our requirements.
In daytime and walking shoes, light
colored kid is as popular as black and
is shown in parchment color,
light tan, light brown, sauterne, gray
and beige. Two colors are often COM
bined in shoes fer walking or for
afternoon wear. Light gray kid COM

slippers with touches Of tan reptile
applique, and combinations of black
and white leather are promenading
the boulevards along with many other
elegancies in footwear. In the pic

shades are lovely in color combina-
tons and many little frocks employ
two colors in their construction, or a
dress of one color uses another color,
in the same sheer fabric, in its trim
ming. This is characteristic of chif-
fon, wolfe and georgette dresses this
season, with their simple decorations
made of the same material as the
dress.
In the sketch Of two party frocks
shown here, Paris presents simple but
ingenious models made of georgette
crepe in pastel colors. In the frock at
the left the georgette is shirred into
q flat puff used as finish at the neck
line and for bands at the wrist of
long, full sleeves. The arresting fea-
ture of this model is the use Of long
petals of georgette over simple

SHOES FEATURE SHARPNESS;
/ LITTLE FRENCH PARTY FROCKS


In sports shoes the practical types
are increasing In demand in oxford
and slngle-strap styles and in brown
and white combinations. Low cuban
heels and perforated trimmings dis
tinguish them.
Whenever little mam'selle has oc-
casion to be much dressed up
as for wedding in the family or
birthday party-she walks unknow-
ingly into the limelight and reveals
the genius Of the French for dainti-
ness. In her, coat and hat she may be
small splotch of brilliant color like
an animated rose or poppy, or some
intense blue flower, but in her party
frocks she is likely to be clad in light,
pastel colors or tints. These light

with a very smart and original de-
velopment of the two-piece dress.
This has jacket Of natural colored
linen and a skirt Of beige crepe de
chine. The hat is of brown GRO
cheted silk straw. Another popular
walking shoe is illustrated. 1t is a
center-strap sandal of sauterne kid
skin, with narrow pipipgs of blonde
kid and heels of the same. These
colors harmonic with many frocks.
Black patent leather is popular in
single-strap and center-strap varie-
ties and is very handsome with
pipings of lizard skin. Pumps in
blonde or suede lightweight kid or In
lizard skin are as adaptable as black
shoes to different colors in frncks.

Dan Beard Organized American Boy Scouts

The experiences of Lieut.. Gen. Sir
Robert S. S. Baden Powell of the
British army with boys as messengers
during the Boer war in South Africa
50 impressed him that he came later
to devote almost his entire time to
work with boys. He organized the
boy scouts In England, and from there
the movement spread to most other
countries, and the membership has
grown until it now includes millions
of boys.
"The boys general" however, free
ly acknowledged his debt to move
ments of similar character in the
United States. And so. although the
Boy Scouts of America were not in
corporated until 1910. which was some

packing Industry"

From the beginning pork was sailed
down and packed in barrels, hence
arose the name now given the meat
industry. 1t is more or less a mis-
homer today because it applies in
greater degree to the industries of
fruit and vegetable canning where
packing in containers is an important
feature.

 the negative side alone and he coV- cred himself with glory in so doing. All three judges rendered their de- cision in his favor giving him weight of argument and manner of delivery.

ANACOSTIA DEMANDS
BAN ON BATHING SITE

Protests against the decision TO To-
cate the colored bathing pool recently
provided for by Congress In section
&c" Of Anacostia Park were received
today by Maj. II. s. Grant. Sd, director
of the Office of Public Buildings and
Public Parks Of the National Capital.
Section "C'' is that part of Anacostia
Park living between the Anacostia
Bridge over the river at the foot OF
Eleventh street southeast and Boiling
Field.
The protests came from the' Ana
costa and Randle Highlands Citizens
Associations, and their objections lay
on the ground Of the single railroad
line which provides transportation for
the citizens of that section of the city.
Although the decision has been reach
ed to locate the bathing pool at this
point, it was said today there was
nothing to prevent the site from being
changed. However. it was added that
there is likely to be less objection to
its location in this section of the city
than In any other. because of the fact
that 1t is some distance from any we'll
populated section.
1t is planned to place there in addi
ton to the bathing pool. a golf course
and ba Sc ball diamond, as well has
other recreational features, and ITO
confna their use to the colored popu-
lation Of the city.
