Here's a mid-winter fashion
that will add brightness und
joy to a dull winter wardrobe.
It's the wearing of wildly col
ored dresses with dark cloth
coats or fur coats.
This is a fashion that nearly
always recurs at this time OF the
year. We get tired of dark
colors and feel a little dreary IN
them. So we must have some
thing bright to add gayety to
Somber days.
The best part about the frocks
we are sketcning today is that
they are inexpensive as well as
smart. They are of pure dye
silk crepe and they have touches
Of real lace, hand-fagsoting,

BY FLORENCE p. PERCY.

-V HE colossal bronze lions which guard
the entrance to the Corcoran Gallery
of Art can be almost classed with the
oldest inhabitants Of Washington.
They are familiar figures to many,
as Mr.. Corcoran had them brought to this
country and placed ON each side of the entrance
to the old Art Gallery, then at Seventeenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue, about 1875.
When the gallery was moved to the new build
ing, the present site at Seventeenth street and
New York avenue in 1897, the bronze lions
were taken there and placed on white marble
pedestals on either side of the front entrance.
These massive figures are the work of the
celebrated sculptor Canova and they were cast
from the molds made over the famous lions
which guard the tomb of Pope Clement XIII
in st. Peters, Rome AS these noble lions stand
sentinel in front of the Corcoran Gallery of
Art they make a fitting frame for the magnif-
cent bronze doors of this building.
The monarchs in bronze crouching in sub
lime quietnesS, watching over the many treas
ures of the gallery receive often but slight notice
or perhaps glance from the numerous passerS-

He was a cheerful, sandy haired Scotchman, MacTavish by name Jay and Jerry strolled up Miss Titherington seemed to like Jay.
 Minutes fled by,
 Well, we may as well start her up," Tony commented presently, in the same casual voice he might have used when preparing for spin in his car.
 All along Mary Lou had been an- ticipating this moment, but now it's suddenness shocked her She want ed to run to Tony, cling to him, beg him to wait just little while longer With an effort She con- trolled herself and forced a smile.
 Tony was shaking hands with all of them, accepting with a smile their feverent good wishes. Mary Lou was last.
 Well, cheerio. old thing he bent and kissed her lightly on the cheek That casual kiss chilled her
 "Humph!" commented Miss Tith- erington caustically. If I had 8 young man and he kissed me like that, I'd box his ears!'
 Her remark saved the day. Every Ione was only too ready to break into laughter.
 Don't fuss, aunt" Tony grinneC back at her, as he prepared t( climb into the cockpit. If you do I'll come over and kiss you instead Besides, Mary Lou and I understand each other perfectly, don't we Mary Lou?"
 He grinned down at her in hi old, lopsided way. Mary Lou, vol must play up!' she whispered t' herself.
 "Of course we understand eacf other" she smiled back. Tony Good luckl"

of his paper, that the atmospheric conditions appeared to be favor able for a flight. Jay kicked at him under the table, and caught Mary Lou by mistake.
 Mary Lou smiled. Please don't try to be tactful, Jay" she begged. If you really want to do something for me, you'll both come out to Croyden and see Tony take off about eleven o'clock"
 Readily they agreed. The haste in getting through breakfast and preparing to start for the field helped the situation for Mary Lou She wore a fawn tweed coat and 2 red felt hat with tiny brim.
 She wouldn't see Tony until they arrived at the field and then it wasn't to be expected that she would see much of him.
 A huge crowd had assembled al croyden when she arrived. Mary Lou drew back in alarm.
 T never dreamed there would Dc so many :"
 Jerry grinned. T did. It's 1us' the sort of thing the public reVeis in, especially if there's a oash o' romance thrown in"
 He winked broadly at Mary Lou "You'l find yourself the heroine of the hour"

and rose gracefully into the air.
 A hundred photographers focused their cameras in her direction; hundreds of handkerchiefs flutter- ed. Cries of Good luck, Good luck!" were heard on every side.
 Mary Lou did not wave. She couldn't. Her eyes strained for a last glimpse of Tony. At first she could see the top of his brown leather helmet, but soon that was lost from view, and only the ma- chine remained, great silver bird in the clouds, flying away from them, flying
