Five minutes later he rang Tor

inner office. and q little while
later Wescott rang again.

The iciness with which Har-
riet uttered the words should
have frozen Nancy to her chair.
But 1t didn't. She had too much
OF 4 sense Of humor to be dis

and Harriet Crosby expressed the
same thing. only differently.

latter smiled at Nancy. and Har-

with ziegelbaum but a girl needs
clothes and Ziegelbaum was in

feet as soon as Nancy entered
his office. He drew up a chair
beside his desk and asked her to
sit down.

her older sister and equally
clever in her choice of frocks.
Pattern 14S5 Is a delightful
school frock for fashionable
youngsters. Developed in jersey,
kasha or wool crepe. it fashions
! practical little dress for sturdy
wear. Straight, simple lines
are most effective with the "
shaped yoke as an interesting
detail of the neckline. Inverted
pleats render the necessary full
ness.
Leather belts are smart this
season and Pattern 1485 pre-
sents 4 belt that holds the froek
snugly to the slender figure.
Bands are repeated on the long
sleeves to carry out the effect of
the yoke. Tiny buttons give, a
final chic to the entire scheme.
This costume would be equally
smart carried out in linen when
warmer days often demand
lighter attire.
May be obtained in sizes 5
to 16.
Size 10 requires IL yards Of
