the short box coat Of green kid in
large plaid Of tan.
Plaids Are Popular.
Plaids are especially good this sea-
son and are shown in endless smart
combinations in suits, coats and
frocks. A coat dress of brown and
tan plaid worsted is cut very low in
the neck, back and front, and with
deep armholes, to be worn over an
underdress of plain tan crepe. In an
other pretty model warm shade Of
burgundy kasha alternates with q
broken plaid of fine lines in black. An
ensemble is shown in black and white,
a coat frock of wool check with mar
row belt Of red patent leather, coat of
the checked material. with lining. col,
lar and deep cuffs of plain black.
The browns are especially attractive
this season and combine beautifully
with tan, beige and the new yellow,
making the harmony in the tints Of
the wall flower from which they take
their name. All of the reds are fash
ionable-the wine shades, garnet, null
berry and such bright reds as coral,
flame, geranium and lacqueur. Brit
tany blue, old blue and French blue
are shown In some Of the new frocks.

shades of green.

a band or ripples about the hips CIV
ing the effect Of two-piece costume.
Scarfs appear to have caught the
spirit Of the fall season, despite the
fact that they are being shown In chif-
fon-usually treated as summer fab
ric or for very formal evening use.
Rustic leaves, autumn foliage and
huge chrysanthemums are combined
or used singly In these large, flowing
scarfs. One especially attractive
shawl-scarf on pastel background Of
beige surrounds its plain center with
a border Of punches of chrysanthe-
NUNS, ranging in color from pale yell
low to deep rustic tones. Another
scarf of all-over design Is without
flowers and depends upon leaves and
branches for its design. The plume
furnishes the inspiration for other
scarfs that take In the blue and gray
tones. Occasionally in these colors 1t
is introduced in ribbon streamer flut-
tering throughout the design, or In
a multicolored border.
Squares of large size, Just the thing
for school, sports wear, to fill In with
a top coat. or to complete sweater
outfit, show Chinese inspiration In
color selection and design. The ma
terial chosen, in fact. is pongee from
China. In place of the conventional
squares with borders, or all-over de-
signs after the French prints, these
squares are blocked off sections. Each
section has some marking or odd turn
of design. One scarf of red. gray and
black, for instance. shows black let
tering on the gray section; on its red
part ball Of bright orange stands
out; and the black appears to unite
the other colors In harmony. Chinese
lettering is used, mostly to fill out
corners and complete the color scheme.
When several of these scarfs are seen
at distance, the effect is remarkably
like line Of signal flags.

She drew her hand from his,

the two stunted pillars wavered.
The central vault of the crypt

bearded wooden replica of a he
goats head. In utter silence, all
facing the altar-tomb, the congre-
cation knelt upon the stony floor
of the vault, that was filled with
the dust of death. There were
about twenty of them.
Sidonia, after her first dozen
steps, had paused. She was just
behind the rearmost kneelers. She
alone stood erect beneath the low
ering roof that upheld the weight
of the great church above. The
silence was leaden, peculiar. There
were none of the little noises that
attend a gathering. Like a person
from whom the power of
the will has been abruptly with
drawn, Sidonia remained motion

head, that seemed to wink its eyes

trable and crushing shadow, as of
the neither world, revealed but not
illumined by the hidden fire-pulsH
A swarm of enigmatic creatures
might move beneath the cloak Of
this shadow-or it might be void
as a tomb. There was nothing to
prove or disprove it either way.
Gervais visioned crawling skclc-
tons, toad-bodied incubi, composite
things with the heads of wild hoarS.
Sidonia's mind was empty of all
such; it held only the figure of the
Master-a shape of strong dread
and horrid fascination. There was
a thick, cold vault-smell and a
sense of walls.
The vague shadows of a pair of
squat, heavy, branching pillars
. were thrown uncertainty backward
by the light of brace of torches
thrust into iron wall-brackets, one
upon either side of the main vault
of the crypt. At the dim threshold
of this vault, where the tunnel
passage they had followed entered
it at right angles, the two paused.
The passage wall still screened
them from the partly shattered
darkness of the vault. A soft,
whispering sound of steps came
FROM the hollow gloom behind-the
gloom from which they had come.
Instantly Sidonia drew aside until
she was pressed right against the
wall, drawing Gervais with her.
They stayed so, silent, still holding
each others hands.
A smallish figure, muffled,
hooded like a monk, passed within
a few steps of the witch's daugh-
ter and her man. And as is passed it
gave little husky cough-a pure
ly human sound, and feminine.
Then the eerie stiffness, dead and
crushing as the oppression of a
tomb, was re-established, and moth !
ing moved save the throbbing pulse
of the two unseen flames.
"Gervais," said Sidonia in the
ghost of whisper.
