THE BEAUTY
BOX

Have you seen the new hair
pieces, plaits, curls, puffs and
what-nots to be pinned to the
rear portions Of the feminine
head to replace the casual little
buns of natural, homegrown
hair? They are as light as
feathers, they are easily dressed,
and they combine effectively
with the new hair ornaments
that are alluring.

beside it. Feminized, Of course
as all 1881 fashions are.
The suit (sketched at the left
of the coat) is another good
example Of this collarless fash
ion. It is a belted cardigan
with the new three-quarter
length sleeve, and that new
straight-up-the-center buttoning
that you're going to see lots Of.
Worn with Scarfs
Just take another look at the
coat. It's trim and wearable,
but it doesn't look bare and
plain, does it? That's because
it has a silk cravat tucked in
at the neckline.
This cravat serves another
purpose, too. It matches the
contrasting color of the leather
belt. In this way the coat gets
that color accent that everyone
IS talking about.

The lights were lowered. The

periods when the woman billed

were keen and the slim, fine
body tense.

He touched her hand and
went back to the waiting car
which would take him home,
settling back in the corner, re-
laxed, a troubled and lonely
man, feeling his age and his
inadequacy to help the one
person he loved above anything
on earth. in this emergency.
Margaret Lorrimer went up
to bed, dismissed her Waiting
maid, undressed and lay be-
tween cool sheets in the spring
darkness, thinking, planning.
A Mothers Love
She was a mother. She was,
therefore, where her sons vital
happiness was concerned, an
entirely unscrupulous woman.
She would sacrifice anything
and anybody to Travers Lor-
rimer's health and welfare. She
was entirely convinced that,
confronted with the truth,
brought together again with the
Delight Hartford he had known
and loved, as a boy, the man
he had become could never ad-
Just himself, could never find
happiness. Many years had
passed. Surely the woman she
had seen on the stage tonight
was a different person from
the girl met on a London leave
and loved with the desperate
and tragic gayety and ardor Of
war time. The years must have
brought many things to that
girl, changes, alterations in cir
cumstances; must have built
up for her an entirely dissim-
liar background. She must
now be as far apart from what
she had been as the moon from
the earth.
Besides, there was Mary Lou.
Iorrimer loved her, deeply,
thinking her the lost Delight,
but loved her, surely, in her
own person, and for herself.
And it was perfectly obvious
to Mrs. Lorrimer that Mary
Lou, in her turn. was in love
with Lorrimer. If this illusion
of a marriage could be cleared
up-and she had never be-
lieved in it, herself-surely
when Travers learned the truth
his love for Mary Lou would
have put forth such roots that
it would stand mistaken and
he would forgive them all for
the deception - would under
stand. A few months ago, he
couldn't have understood, in his
condition of irritable nerves
and unhappy memories. But
he was a normal man now,
clear thinking, sane, happy,
healthy. Love, instead of mar
rowing his interests, had wild
ened them. For no known
interest in life he had subSti-
tuted, not only Mary Lou, but
the normal interests of his sex,
age, circumstances and personal
likes-books, horses, the busi-
ness of managing great
estate, friends-such as the gal
lant little Mac, waging his
valiant battle with disease

Timely Topics

Sitting on the edge of a chair
is an ugly pose. It creates an
attitude that is without grace
or tranquility, throws the body
out OF balance. The lower part
of the torso and the shoulder
blades should touch the chair
back. The spinal column should
have an inward curve at the
waiStline that holds abdominal
muscles tight and which ele-
Yates the chest. Sit pretty, girls;

TORRINCTON
ALBEE BLOCK IS
 SCENE OF FIRE
Badly Damaged By Flames Benefit Nets
 $I,4zI

A blaze that Started at about 10 o'clock yesterday morning consid-
 erably damaged the A. D. Albee
 building, two-story frame struc- ture on Prospect street. The fire,
 which is thought to have started in
 the cellar near the furnace or on
 the ground floor in the rear of the
 building spread quickly up through
 the roof and gave the firemen a stubborn battle. The ground floor
 building was occupied by Charles
 Rodemayer, printer; and A. F.
 Rood, sewing machine repair man;
 and the second floor, formerly the Albee studio was occupied by Will liam Dandrea. The latter was in
 bed at the time of the fire and was reused by Samuel Tatnall, an em- ploye of the Rodemeyer shop. The connecting building, was occupied by Mir Albee and two roomers,
 Walter McDonald and Conlin Con- rad; and by Miss Hazel McCor-
 mick in the other. Conrad was al- so asleep an dwas reused by Me- Donald who had been summoned from his work at the Brass mill across the street. The equipment of the Rodemeyer shop, valued at $2,500 by the proprietor, was badly damaged by fire and water. Vari- ous articles, including phonogrhp and sewing machines were carried across the road tot he sidewalk so they would not ge damaged by water but soon after a shower of water was squirted across the street by accident and the salvaged merchandise was water soaked. The firemen were first summoned by a still alarm. When Chief Palm CT, arrived on the scene, he direct ed that ball alarm be turned in, calling out the rest of the appara- tus, and extra men. The flames ate through the roof and thick cloud of smoke covered Prospect and Daycoeton streets. The build- ing is one of closely built group of frame structures. The main part of the building at once was lo- cated next to the library but was chased it. Both of these sections of the building were damaged by fire and water but the part used for business purposes received most damage. Three lines Of hose were used to extinguish the flame and the hose was still attached to the hydrant until noon to make certain that no spark would start the fire all over again. A huge crowd quickly gathered to watch the fire and because of the hose spread out in the street, traffic was stopped on Prospect street, south of Water street on Daycoenton street. This is the third time MT Albee suf- fered loss by fire. Hiss loss is par tially covered by insurance.
