His mind raced on and
on; thoughts hurting him
with their very intensity.
Suddenly the answer came
to him.
Tonight had shown him
that he could no longer
trust himself. And coming
home on the ferry, he had
such good news to tell Eve
: that his last bit of
work had been accepted
that there would now be
the means to provide their
home " the dainty things
to clothe Eve.
But now-this was the
end. Unfaithful though Eve
had been, he could not ex-
pect her to carry on with
him.
He would not face her
again.
The dawn found him still
walking wildly about the
hillsides, which were dotted
with the bloom of acacia
and dogwood and bay tree.
Well, he didn't have any
thing to say-yet. Without
a backward glance, he took
the worn piece of luggage
and went down the path to
catch the next ferry for San
Francisco.
Don Carlos checked the
worn bit Of baggage at the
ferry building and then
wandered idly about. He
was still numb from the re-
actions of the night
dimly he felt that he should
be calling Eve up to find
out whether George Phillips
was still alive . " and yet
he did nothing about it.

AYO matter which periodical de-

THE thing for spring. All ma

ing mode, but the silk ones are
particularly smart.
On the right is shown an ensem.
BILE with the finger tip length
jacket. The charming bow frock
of white crepe de chine has long
sleeves and plain back. The
skirt is pleated in front with
novel hip band to add distinction.
A deep V yoke is featured on the
blouse and the bow carries the
shades of the jacket and frock.
This particular model Is develo. ped
in champagne color crepe with q
jacket of marine blue.
The ever popular polka dot Is
featured in the ensemble on the
left. The frock is Oh radium silk,
pleated in the front and with q
jabot caught with a rhinestone
pin. The coat Is of flat crepe in
green with tan dots.
These little ensembles are an
almost indispensable feature OF
every woman's wardrobe. The
jackets may be worn with other
frocks. or the frOcks alone are suf-
ficiently dressy for informal wear.
So, :. you wcdld be considered the
well dressed woman. don't fail to
include ~ least two in your sum-
mer wardrobe.
The old order changeth, and
purses that consider themselves
up to the minute have to make
provisions for the cigarette case
and lighter. Getting out Of the
difficulty in a smart way, an
antelope bag with teweled frame
has a little drawer at either side
for cigarettes and for a lighter.
Agreeing and disagreeing. the
blouse of a smart ensemble
matches the accompanying coat
and skirt as far as it's dot motif IL
concerned. The material of the
coat and skirt Is of darke-'
shade, however. which are also
edged with velvet A bit OF vel
