common Your life is very different
from mine"
How she longed to bring up the sub
ject of Dorothy Wood; but. of course
she couldn't. That was out of the
question. 1t simply wouldn't be good
taste.
Tony wanted to feel resentful, but
he couldn't. He rather liked her spirit.
He was tired of women who, at the
slightest encouragement, fell on his
neck, but he attitude was calling to
his pride.
AT least you'll let me see you to a
taxi" he said with a grin so boyish
that Jills heart squirmed.
She smiled back at him.
Yes, If you will" And then she
was walking beside him, the porter,
who had become visibly impatient at
the wait, going on ahead.
Jill tipped her porter and stepped
into the cab. She nodded a friendly
good-by to Tony. and then leaned for
ward and gave her address. The taxi
started with a jerk, and she realized
that the feeling of happiness she had
experienced on the train was gone.
Once more she felt dull and heavy
and without spirit.
Hadn't she been rather a fool to
But no. If she had dinner with him,
it would be only a question of time
before he would be making light love
to her again. 1t wasn't in him to care
seriously for any woman. She would
simply be making more unhappiness
for herself. Better a nice, clean cut
than jagged wound.
In the days that followed Tony
found himself buying the Bulletin and
looking through it for Jill's articles.
He laughed at himself, but he did it
just the same. and whether he enjoy
ed reading them because Jill wrote
them, or because they were really
good. he didn't know Tony. if he had
but known it, was thinking more
about Jill Anderson than he had ever
thought of any woman in his life
before, and in a different way. He
thought about her so much that he
went over and over the conversation
they had had in the Grand Central
Station. and in a perfectly calm and
legal way tried to realize what had
been in her mind when she had SO
deliberately refused to have dinner
with him.
He finally came to the conclusion
that he knew.
She despised him for the part he

could blame her? Looking back, he
realized other things too. There must
have been more or less gossip in the
office about his reputation for break
ing hearts. She probably thought of
him as a philanderer, incapable of
caring for any woman deeply. Hadn't
he made love to her as well as the
others?

their places. And before really warm
weather has become established, dress
makers have fairly good idea of what
they will offer for Autumn and posi-
bly, for Winter as well.
Some definite sort of knowledge of
the future course of fashion is especi-
ally desirable when it comes to fash
ions for fur garments and elaborate or
fur-trimmed coats-things that re-
quire more time in the making and
that must suddenly be brought to the
light in amazingly large number when
Summer goes and Autumn comes.
So even now we hear prophecies as
to what sort of coats will be worn for
Autumn and Winter. We cannot, of
course, know how these fashions will
succeed, but we do know that certain
dreSsmakerS and coat makers of dis
cernment and good judgment have
adopted them for their first produc-
tons.
Two seasons ago came the coat with
a flare. There were fiaring fur coats.
Last year the fiaring coat was looked
upon with less enthusiasm. Women
who had bought a flared fur coat the
season before had the flare removed
and resumed the Well-eStabliShed
straight line. But now the flare re-
turns, only in the present guise it is
quite a different thing. The old flare
was q gradual fare on either side of
the front-Without much introduction
of fullness at the back. In the new
flare, the back remains plain but the
flare appears like half open flowers at
the SideS-sometimes only at the side
where the opening is.

MISTAKE ENFORCEABLEf
By THE COUNSELLOR.

An unforeseen contingency arose
after Harry Cooper had signed lease
for d business property. He had con-
tracted to pay high rental and TO
build at his own expense two more
stories to the structure, only to dis
cover later that the walls and founda-
ton of the building would not carry
the addition.
Before signing the lease. however,
Cooper had Informed the owner or the
building that he was counting upon
the addition. to help him pay the
rental. Otherwise, he declared, ne
would not enter into the lease. The
owner had replied that in his opinion
the addition could easily be made.
Relying on this statement, Cooper
signed.
When the impossibility became
known, Cooper asked the landlord 10

But the landlord, admitting that he
had been mistaken as to condition CT
the building, refused, and insisted
that his tenant remain in possession.
Cooper took the matter to court.
setting forth In his petition that both
parties had been mutually mistaken
regarding an essential element of the
contract. He asked to be relieved on
this ground.
In accordance with the we'll estab-
lished legal principle involved. the
court set aside the agreement, declar-
ing:
"a court Of equity will give appro-
pirate affirmative or defensive relief,
as may be required by the circum-
stances, from the consequences of any
mistake Of fact which is a material
element of the transaction, concerning
which relief is sought, and which mis-

CHAPTER l..
Jill Takes a Stand.

Here was her chance, a chance that
she had never expected, a chance to
get even.
She loved him. but he would never
know it-never. And the reason for
that was that she despised herself Tor
loving him.
Dorothy Wood had given him up to
go back to her husband, and now be-
cause he had happened to meet her
here in the station, he wanted to re-
new his filtration with her.
She shook her head slowly, her lips
parted in a smile.
II don't think it would be wise"
The cut was direct, and the smile
slowly faded from Tony's face.
"Why?" he persisted.
Exactly" Jill countered. 'Why?"
do you hate me SO much?"
Jill's laugh rang out.
why should 1 hate you?"
She seemed as cool and remote as a
star. She was so sure of herself. and
it irritated him. Why should she re.
fuse to have dinner with him? Why,
indeed, unless she didn't want to. I'M
less she had the very good reason OF
not wanting to see him again?
Her calm remark stung his ego He
stood before her feeling like a fool
He-Tony, who had captivated SO
many women with his charm. was now
being put in his place by a little
stenographer. No. that wasn't quite
true, she was a newspaper reporter.
But she had worked In his Office.

is the establishment of Dummy's
Clubs and not the immediate elimina-
ton of the adverse trumps He leads

to enter his own hand for a more adj

drops the ten of trumps, Declarer
plays a second round in hope that
West may also be found with the

The basis of his hope is clearly shown
with the ten and Queen gone. A top

Clear, Fresh Skin
Wins Admirers

First impressions are lasting. A
woman may be ever so sweet and
lovely, but if her skin is dull and
lifeless she will always be passed
up for the one who knows that
the secret OF popularity is a youth
full. clear complexion.
If your skin is discolored, freckled,
tanned and coarse. clear it and re-
vive that satin texture it once had
by simply massaging it with the
dainty and fragrant lotion which so
many women are using. Get three
ounce bottle of Orchard White from
your nearest dealer and squeeze the
juice of two lemons into it.
You will never go another day
without looking like a fairy queen
after you once see how smooth and
deWily fresh it keeps your skin.

CHILLON CASTLE
 TO BE RESTORED
American Visitors Contribute to
 Swiss Fund

Montreaux, Switzerland, Aug 26 P>-American visitors are legion in contributing to the fund for the repair and restoration of the Castle of Chiffon, one of the most famous as we'll as the most beautiful of Europe's historical monuments.
 The castle eribodies struggle of liberty against tyranny. Byron perpetuated it in his poem "The Prisoner of Chiffon"
 Located on a small rocky islet near the Swiss shore of Lake Le- man, the castle was the scene of revolting cruelties. Among the un- fortunate who suffered calvary were the Jews of Villeneuve, who were accused in 1348 of having poisoned the water of the lake and of having thus introduced "the Black Death"
 Jews, men, women and children, were burned alive in the fortress, as we'll as some Christians. who were accused of complicity. To- wards the end of the 18th and 17th centuries a large number of so- called sorcerers were incarcerated, tortured and finally put to death,
 Tombs unearthed near the en- trance of the castle are said to show that human beings dwelt at Chiffon in the bronze age, between the 18th and 18th centuries B. c. But the oldest authenticated his torical document bears the date of 1905 A. D. and indicates that the castle belonged at that time to the Bishop of Sion. Eventually the castle passed into the possession of the House of Savoy. whose Duke, Charles the Third, was the perse cutor of Francois Bonivard, whose Imprisonment inspired Byron's poem.
 Byron visited Chiffon in 1s1e and cut his name in the stone pillar to which Bonivard had so long been manacled. Dickens and other nota- bles also have chiselled their names in the stone of the dungeon and today the castle is visited by thousands of Americans.

 While they stood admiringly by. he placed the torpedo on rock and pounded 1t with a hammer until it exploded and burst into bits injuring all three children.
 As the result of his experim enting, Albert has already lost piece of his nose and may lose the sight of his right eye and Domenic and Helen are in serious condition.
 Their parents, hearing the explo- slon and the children's screams, and thinking that they had been shot, called the Hamden police depart ment on the telephone.
