"McGee! Is he down there?" STAN
mered Blake.
"Yes, he's been listening to our
little alteration"
Dick picked him up and carried him
to the entrance. He was a light
weight, and without great difficulty he
got him down and placed him along
side his partner in crime. MCGEE shot
him a venomous look and tried to
grunt his anger.
Don't exert yourself, McGee," Dick
said. you'll burst blood vessel

"Are you going to gag me?" whined
Blake. "I'll keep quiet If you don't"
For the present-no," replied Dick.
II may want to ask you some ques-
tions, and 1t would be a little incon-
venient to remove the gag to get an
swers from you"
He left the two in the corner and
walked over to the wireless, which he
began examining carefully and criti-
cally. He was so absorbed in this
that he nearly forgot his prisoners.
Finally with a smile he looked up.

CHAPTER XII

It was not a complicated plant
Dicks knowledge of sending and re-
ceiving wireless messages had been
picked up at an early age when, as an
amateur, he had experimental with
various instruments: Later he had
added to this on his fathers yacht,
taking the operators place at times
TO send messages ashore to friends.
His satisfaction was complete. He
smiled at Blake, and said: 81 don't
mind If you listen in, Blake. So ]
won't stuff your ears with cotton. The
message Pm going to send isn't Sc
cret."
He turned on the current, tapped
the sender, and then opening the
switch wide sent broadcast across the
seas:
"Send help to Valhalla island! Mu-
tiny-murder Help needed at once.
Don't delay. Relay to shore if neces-
sary."
Signing the name of Steve Cutler to
his S. 0. S. message, he waited for a
response. None coming, he repeated
the message Again and again he agi-
tated the air with his wave vibrations.
There was no response, and Dick
frowned at the failure of his expert
ment. For half an hour he kept 1t
up, and then closed the circuit and
rose to his feet.
THAT will have to do for the pres
ent," he observed. "Pll try again
later. Meanwhile, Pm due up at the
house to interview Doctor Alster"
Everything was quiet about the big
house when he approached, boldly and
without any attempt at cOncealment.
1t was still very early, and it was a
question whether the rest of the house
hold were out Of bed yet.
He was a little gratified when the
front door opened for him, and Alice
Cutler let him in. Her face was
white, with dark circles under her
eyes. HAS anything happened?" she
asked anxiously.
"Yes, everything-two of our worst
enemies are prisoners in a cave"
you mean Mr. Blake?
Eyes, and his particular friend from
the sea-Mr. MCGEE"
The smile that irradated her face
was sufficient reward for Dick. AS he
looked into the blue depths of her
eyes he had a queer sensation of gid
diness. 1t passed an instant later, and
his smile of confidence returned
81 want to see Doctor Alster," he
added. "Will you take me to him?"
"Yes, if he's up"
81 can interview him in his bed If
he's not up yet. It's quite important,
Miss Cutler"
"Follow me-" she replied, leading
the way.
There was no necessity of rOusing
the man from his slumbers, for on the
upper landing they almost ran into
him as he was emerging from the sick
chamber. He gave Dick a scowl and
started to retreat to his own room.
"How's the patient this morning,
doctor?" Dick greeted him casually.
"No better, SIR" was the sour retort.
"Have you given him his morning
medicine yet?"
That's none of your business, SIR"
the other said angrily. 81 won't be
interrogated by you. ask you, Miss
Cutler, to protect me in my profess
sional-"
professional fiddlesticks!" inter-
rupted Dick. "Get it out of your head
that there's any professional etiquette
down here, doctor. I'm going to see
Mr. Cutler"
'Not with my permission, SIR"
Planting his bulky figure against
the door, Doctor Alster faced them de-
family. Dick smiled at his words and
attitude.

flash such a presentation as was
never featured before.
It seems as il most OF the inhab.
itants of the animal kingdom will
contribute to summer wear. Exotic
trimmings, originally parts OF ele-
plants, Colbras, sharks, alligators,
lizards, pigs. goats, etc.,-in fact
anything tannable-have been used.
For That Distinctive Touch
While there Is no decided change
in the model or last these trimmings
will lend that distinctive touch and
will go hand in hand with mans de-
sire for more color. All Of this has
to do largely with summer modes.
For spring the emi-balloon, a
modification of the broad toe of last
spring and fall, will be the vogue
introduced by the majority OF the
better shoe manufacturers. This
change was brought about by the
narrower trousers now being worn.
The balloon trousers demanded a
substantial base, but with the altera-
ton in suit styles also comes modi-
fication of modes in footwear.
While the Scotch grains, noted for
their durability are still favored by
the, younger man, there Is tenden-
cy to offer lighter and finer footwear
for spring and summer. Fine KIDS

SPRING SOUNDS
NEW NOTES IN
HABERDASHERY

The well dressed man this spring
and summer is going to be a bird
of gay plummage indeed. Color, al
most to the point of exotic express
sion, is prescribed for all manner of
furnishing goods.
Shirts run to high color, neck
wear is of dazzling hues and intri-
cate pattern motifs; hosiery is, to say
the least, fiamboyant. Even the
handkerchief (and it's an important
accessory this season in the we'll
dressed mans scheme of attire) is
to be ornate and colorful.
But to particularize.
Colored Shirts the Vogue
Colored shirts dominate the style
Of the season. While white shirts
will have their place-mostly for
sport occasion such as golf, tennis.
boating and summer resort wear,
for the daily dress the shirt to be
right must be colored and usually
with the collar to match.
These can be Numbered collars as
they probably will be for the early
spring months and later the soft
collar or collar attached shirt will
become prominent.
And these shirts are not merely
colored but they are obtrusive in

FLIPPANT BRIMS

While there Will be no decided
change in mems hat styles over those
year ago, there appears to be gen.
eral tends - in some quarters to
surrender the Alpine or fedora shape
for the curl brim effects.
Just how widespread this move
ment will be difficult to say until
well into spring when most men have
purchased their headwear.
Particularly among the younger
! fellows and that class includes the
style making collegians, will this win
favor. The first evidence of SWITCH
ing came almost a year ago and
gradually gained Roadway through
the fall and winter seasons. The
movement promises to gain nomen-
tum this spring.
Hat makers and retailers are reti-
cent in making predictions in regard
to the advance this turn down brim
vogue will make, but they have pre-
pared to meet any emergency.
Fedora Remains Popular.
The ever popular fedora or Alpine
shape, in good stead for many years,
will continue to have it's horde of
devotees as in time past. 1t is the
style of the man who prefers the
conventional; the man who is pretty
much set in his ways, and the only
difference is in the size of brim and
crown.
AS for colors pearl greys probably
will dominate the field. This par
ticular shade always has been con-
sidered spring color, but until re-
cent years hasn't made much stride
forwards and this year promises to
hit the peak Of popularity.
There, too. will be other shades
OF grey. running the entire gamut
from lights to darks. Various tones
OF tans and browns will have quite
following. The green hat, which
some makers attempted to force up
on the public in other sr~ir~ seasons,
VIII take the background.
Again the Fancy Bands
The fancy band, which was shown
more last spring than any previous
season, again will occupy an impor-
tant part in lending a bit more color
to headwear. Many of these bands
will be similar to those worn around
straw hats, but in many instances
they will be toned down a bit, with
narrower stripes of color just
enough to make a mans hat not
iceable part of his ensemble.
And when warm weather comes In
SOIiico tilc straw nat. Lightweight
straw sailors, the standbys of other
season. will win the favor of most
men. Brims will he hit wider and
there will be plenty of splash to the
bands.
Among the colors that will be
worn largely in straws are whites,
light browns and tans. All the
weaves, including those that were
first introduced with the first straw
hat to the newest novelties will be
on display.
The conservative man will stick to
the Panama and leghorn. They are
the truly comfort straws and for that
reason will retain their following.
Derby Is Coming Back
The derby which has been with US
for scores of years, passing through
many years Of diminishing and in
creasing popularity, Is expected to
blossom forth. In the east this style
has already won over many new
wearers and the movement, it is said.
is travelling westward
Light, rich, distinctive all-over
patterns will prevail in caps. The
one and eight-piece styles will pre-
vail. Such headwear will be used
largely for sports and general out
door, activity. &a.sz
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1926-03-23

their pattern treatmenN as well.
Stripes will be more or less bold and
even more hilarious will be the fig
ured designs-batik effects, all-over
floral treatments, scroll and conven-
tional motifs-anything that will
make the man look more like the
Partisan boulevardier than a sedate
American business man. Some of
these designs are even Frenchy to
the point of effeminacy, employing
delicate pastel shades.
Madras and BrOadcloth Rule
Such shirts are of madras cloths,
light weight broadcloths and such
branded weayes as go under special
ty names like radium weaves. etc.
Light weight French fiannels will
also be considered very dpessy with
their matched collars attached.
Neckwear for the spring will be
in the standard weaves such as mo.
gadors, satin brocades, repps, etc.,
but as the season advances we will
see more of the summer fabrics
used. These are light crepes. silk
and wool mixtures, pongees. ,taffetas.
foulards and handkerchief silks. The
patterns are for the most part loud
and the colors warm.
All-over floral and conventional
designs are in high favor and in the
crepes there will be intricate mix
lures. Four-in-hand shapes still OBJ.
tain but the bow tie promised to be
stronger than ever.
Loud Effects i'm Hosiery
Hosiery stops at nothing in Great
Ing effect. Loud blocks, plaids, dia-
mond effects and horizontal stripes
are the things for the Younger and
more spirited dresser.
AS a consequence of this style wool
and worsted textures will be more
popular than the silks or isles. Silk
and wool mixtures will be very good.
Not all men will go to these strong
effects and many more men like
nothing but either silk or Isle hose
so that fashion is lenient and plant
to such demands. Accordingly. there
VIII be lots of the trim fitting, lust.

the shops. Most of these will be

Wide Borders on Hankies
Handkerchiefs have wide borders
and large patterns. These, of course.
are the dress observation-disclosures
that are purchased for no other pur-
pose than to peak out of the breast
pocket. They are in silks or fine
linens. Some have extravagant all
over designs.
PaJama innovations are more not
ed through new and rather artistic
modelling of French influence. This
feeling is secured as much from the
unique lines as in the novelty weases
and exotic patterns. Understand
these are the novelties of the season.
The conservative man will wear
practically the same type of paJa-
mas in weaves and models as here
tofore.
Little Change Is Noted
In such things as underwear, belts,
gloves etc, no noteworthy changes
have appeared though precedent in
dicates that many new ventures will
be launched as the summer season
comes around. This has always
proven so and always will be so as
the originality and righteousness of

Our footwear is becoming even
more prominent in the part it as
sumes in the costume of the well
dressed woman. There are two OBJ
ViouS reasons for this: One, that
with the extremely short skirts and
nude hose, our shoes are much more
prominent than ever before. The
second reason is that we are con-
sidering our costumes as a whole
nowadays. and anything as important
as our shoes must fit INTO the color
scheme harmoniously. And this
does not only mean in color but in
general line and feeling.
For Daytime
The newest thing for general day.
time wear, particularly for street
wear. is the high cut pump and
sometimes>a shoe that is cut so high
over the instep that 1t is closer
relative to the oxford than the pump.
At present, the high cut pump is
seen on fully eighty percent of the
well shod feet. But these higher cut
shoes are distinctly new trend and,
rs such. will bear watching.
The Combinations
The most popular materials are
kid, patent leather and antelope. But
these materials are scarcely ever by
themselves. They are usually found
in combination with each other, or
with lizard. For example. some very
smart patient leather pumps are
trimmed with a buckle of gray or
beige lizard with lizard heel match
ing the buckle. At other times, a
patent leather pump is trimmed with
lizard which forms buckle or some
t..i, 10 n
tiny scolloped band around the top
Of the shoe. Another favored com
bination for an all black shoe is kid
trimmed with patent leather.
In the high cut shoe the upper part
is sometimes of antelope while the
lower part and the heel are of patent
leather. Black satin is also being
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1926-03-23

used for daytime shoes. Some black
satin oXfords are seen, but they are
very feminized, high-heeled oxford
far removed from the simple
brogue of seasons past. Gray, beige
or black shoes are chosen according
to the color note of the costume.
Certainly There Are Strap Slippers
The strap slipper is far too Ropu-
lar to be dropped from the mode,
SO, of course, it is here in many
clever new interpretations. The
strap slipper is especially attractive
with afternoon frocks but it is also
worn INTERCHANGEABLE with the pump.
Some of the newest of these have a
sabot strap, that is strap which
goes high across the instep and con-
tinues across each side of the shoe
and joins the sole. The strap slipper
is found in the same combinations
of leather as the pump, but instead
of having a constrasting buckle to
match the heel, it is the strap which
matches.
However, there is one thing that
all of these shoes have in common,
and that is the very high heel. The
spike heel, sometimes between two
and three inches high, is seen on all
shoes except those for active sports.
With Sport logs
The low heeled oxford, peel OK
ford or two-stap slipper of white
buckskin trimmed with brown, gray
or black leather will be worn for
actual sports. The linen slipper in
pastel tones is very popular with the
light frocks of summer, and much
more practical than the pastel doe
skin of last year. Parchment kid, a
lovely creamy tone just off white,
is new and lovely with light frocks-
especially the printed chiffons with
light backgrown. There are even
few slippers of Panama.
