carried with great success into
the world of house dresses.
Pattern 1899 shows a delightful
model with unusual point treat
ments. The long pointed vestee

slender lines. Points are re-
peated in the patch pockets
and collar ends.
Pattern 1899 is lovely carried
out in printed percale, gingham
or linen with collar, cuffs,
vestee and pocket flaps Of white
pique.

create a smart frock, using red
buttons for an extra bit of color.
Short sleeves are so comfy for
warm weather.

She had taken him by the arm
and was urging him back to the
cottage. They walked on in
silence. Once she looked UP at
him and saw the hard smile play
ing about his lips.
VERY Wellp he said suddenly.
''You can have 1t your own way"
Something in her hridled at his

was chuckling again.
Linda made no answer. The
lethargy was still heavily upon
her.
Her silence brought a worried
frown between the professors
eyes. "If you don't object" he
said. I'll take you through side
street to my house, let you rest
there few minutes. and send
you on in a taxi-which is a
much more respectable vehicle
than a bicycle"
"All right, answered Linda
weakly. The pain was growing
less now, but it still absorbed her
body and her mind.
They turned into a dark side
street, which Linda recognized as

second later they had graZed the

she?" Linda asked.
Hush, said DR.. Prime, don't
let her hear your voice. That's
Mrs. Ella Steuer, dean of women.
They live next door. If she saw
who you were, God help us now"
His voice held desperation, but,
looking at him, Linda decided that
it was a mock. He was really as
unperturbed as ever.
He took her around the house
to the front door, walking on the
side sheltered from the eyes OF
the gaping Mrs. Steuer. Appar-
emily bizarre happenings of the
evening-finding Linda on the
road-grazing the shins of Dean
Steuer's wife-bringing home a
strange young woman-failed to
startle or even to interest him.
He steadied her arm as they
went up the steps to the wide
veranda. Linda was visibly shaken
by her fall and leaned upon him
heavily. Under the veranda roof
the dry leaves of the Virginia
creepers met long, trailing shadows
from the street lamp. The house
was quite dark and silent.
