Washington fashions
By WILMA LAvILLE

Perhaps you have problem
like friend of ours. She
wanted a dress or suit to wear
to a formal tea about the mid
die of September, and she
wanted something that would be
correct, rain or shine. Too late
for summer clothes, too early
for really formal winter clothes,
so she wanted something Gin
between" but something that
she could carry over into her
winter wardrobe.
Fills Many Needs
We shopped until we found
what seemed to be just the right
thing, a satin suit that was very
formal with the jacket off, but
informal and quite suitable to
a rainy day, with the jacket on.
This suit may be worn right
now on the street if you're going
to luncheon, and it will be
smart for tea. It is also excel
lent for Sunday nights" and
similar occasions, and it will be
as good two or three months
from now as it is now. Of course
you've seen many of these suits,
but we think this one is par
ticularly happy choice for a
number of occasions.
PepIums Again
It's of black satin, of course,
as satin is better in black than
in colors. The skirt has the
simplicity and low placed full
ness that are SO essential this
fall. Both the jacket and the
blouse have a little peplum ef-
feet. The blouse is Of the love-
liest pale flesh satin, with a
deep yoke of lace in matching
color, and the lace makes tiny
caps on the shoulder. The lace
is bound about the neck with
satin, one of those little touches
that are SO dainty. One rever
on the jacket is lined with
flesh satin, and the cuffs repeat
the peplum flare. With all Of
its many good points, this suit
Is not high priced.

Daddy" said Pearl, won't you shake hands with my future hA

and Just faded out Of the picture.
l did not hear from her again for q
long time. Then she came to my
office, one day. She had seen
Pearls picture in some society
column, and she realized I would
pay to protect her, Just as I had
always paid to protect her mother.
But her scheme had developed by
this time. Thornton was now grown
up. and she had decided that she
could tie me more firmly to her II
he married Pearl" Dare passed his
hand over his eyes, as II to wipe
away that unpleasant scene. Pearl
and I did not even glance at each
other, we were so afraid Of breaking
the spell.
II suppose" Dare went on, "she
would have been willing to consider
marriage with me. She was still
young looking-I believe she had
had some sort Of q facial operation
in Europe-and undoubtedly was at
tractiye. But I could no longer
think Of her as anything but the
most degrading and ~despicable
creature in the world. I suppose
she saw that when I began to talk
to her. But she did not care 1OI
herself then. She was willing to
go off with some one, out of my life,
If the plan for Thornton to marry
Pearl was carried through. When
/ met Thornton he seemed present
able enough and I agreed" Dare
stopped short. but went on IN I
moment.
Mrs. Richards arranged the Yep.
pelin trip SO that Pearl and her son
could get better acquainted. When
she found that you were determined
to follow PEARL even around the
world, she became enraged. She
worked Thornton into : passion
against y0u. She thought at first
that she could carry the thins
through single-handed, and use
only that Mrs. Frayne, who was your
first chapcron, Pearl, and really only
a tool Of hers, and Thornton, to ruin
your attempt to get Pearl away.
