they would have cleared up the mys-
terry in perfectly satisfactory man

to tell when we came to Southley
Downs. Only, of course, Ernest
would tell it, not |. My hours for
Joking in the old manor house were
done. Instead of triumph, his tone
limited that cold futility with which
men tell of their worst personal
tragedies.

SIMPLICITY IN KIDDIES FROCK
The Washington Times 15c Practical Pattern

A charming dress and bloomer
outfit featuring simplicity of
detail and displaying smartness
to the last degree, is Pattern
1888. An oddly V-shaped yoke
carries out the pointed effect of
the collar. The fullness of the
frock is obtained by means of
gathers on either side of the
yoke. Short sleeves add much
to comfort during play hours.
Jersey, silk or wool crepe or
linen would be charming for this
little frock. The collar and cuffs
are Of contrasting color. The
frock in blue or green may use
white trimming. Two shades of
tan are quite practical for kid
dies who play very hard. Tiny
buttons of pearl or bone add
final touch of smartness.
May be obtained in sizes 2,
a and 6.
Size 4 requires 2N yards OF
40-inch material, II yard trim
ming.
This model is easy to make il
you use this pattern, which is
individually hand-cut. A per-
