BY WILMA LAVILLE

Spanish tile is one Of the
newest fall colors. Smart be-
cause it is vivid and colorful,
and wearable because it COM
bines well with both black and
brown. 1t is a rusty brick dust
red that should be becoming to
both blondes and brunettes, and
Is used for whole dresses or for
trimming on dresses.
WooIs Very Sheer
The Spanish tile dress we
have sketched today is one Of
the new sheer woolens that you
have been hearing about for
fall. They are marvels of, sheer
ness, and some of them are al
most invisible in their weave.
Of course they are not hot to
wear under coat and so they
are just as practical as they are
smart.
In Two CoIors
The skirt Of this dress is
brown sheer wool crepe and the
Spanish tile jacket is edged with
brown curly lamb. The little
jacket is Of Empress Eugene
inspiration with its capelets.
The gauntlet cuffs have brown
buttons and the belt is Of Span
iSh tile crepe. This dress will
be particularly becoming to a
short or slight person, and it
will be splendid under q fur
coat or a brown cloth coat
throughout the winter. It is
from a washington store.

 Sponsored by Sen. O.. s. Loomis, one of the young Progressives- in the upper house, a bill permitting the creation of power districts has been passed and signed by the Gov ernor. It will permit municipalities to connect their utility plants to gain the advantages of mass pro- duction.
 Open Way To Competition.
 For almost quarter century, WiSconson private utilities have been immune from competition, it has been charged, because Of the indeterminate operating permits granted them by the state.
 A bill now before the Senate, however, would permit municipali- ties to enter into competition with private firms. The measure is re- garded as club to enforce fair rates and efficient service.
 The fifth measure in the Progress Sive program establishes a state power corporation which would en- courage public operation Of utilities and provide comprehensive, statewide program for the pro- duction and distribution of light, heat and power. This bill is pend ing.

It is reported that the animals have been very destruc- tive to game and fur alike.
 It is also reported that wolves appeared in the Kantishna coun- try during the past winter in un- usually abundant numbers, where they caused great destruction among the caribou.
 It is also reported to the Alaska Game Commission, by Warden Ho- mer w. Jewell, at False Pass, that due to the heaviest snowfall during the past ten years on Unimak Is- land, it is estimated that over three hundred caribou have died

you mean the color of her hair?'
 Isn't there anything else you want to tell me?" she persisted.
 Do you mean about my wicked past?" he asked ironically
 He said no more about his people
 But that night she tried to Dir her father down to facts.
 Julian, you don't think-I mear you do think that I should marry Nicholas?"
 Think of some one beside your self, my child. The poor fellow would lose his mind if you didn't, he said airily.
 An unmarried daughter, tagging you over Europe, especially on your honeymoon, he reflected, would be a little tiresome.
 Julian was sitting at the foot Of her bed, smoking, and now she asked him about their relatives at home. ~
 Dreadful" he shuddered. But my sister isn't so bad Anyone is dreadful who doesn't admire me Emily told me once I was wasting my time might give fame a rest. And earn my bread. That is the way the bourgeoise talk" he warned her. .fi..s
 He always slid away from under her fingers like this.
 But with Nicholas it was differ ent. She could say anything that came into her head to him and he would answer her honestly. She asked him little timidly if he were happy.
 "Happy-who is?" he asked her. Remember. Nora, take all you can get out of life. But don't pay too much for money"
 She sat thinking. If she had had money, would she have married him?
 Her father said that romance was the dream of fools. And she had plenty of romance to last her; if romance meant rushing from one place to another in pursuit of some thing you never found.
 The days went pell-mell past. The last one was on them. Nicho- las was going ahead to Naples. He told her their plans carefully, as though she were child; and she sat looking at his thin hawk like nose and cold eyes. No one to see him so would ever know, as she did, how infinitely kind he was.
 But at the end she said in a panic, Nicholas, you don't have to marry me, you know!'
 But I am going to-" he said.
 Julian burst in to say. '"The fiacres at the door. You'd better hurry. We'll wire you, my dear fellow, the hour of our arrival"
 And two days later Nora and her father left. She was seeing the last of their borrowed Villa Rosa.
 Nora turned to her father anx- iously to ask him if she looked all right.
 You look charming! Charming!" he told her, his eyes twinkling.
 But she wondered little doubt fully if the old blue suit and scarlet

Chapter 10 ESCAPE FOR NORA

The color was driven from Nora $ cheeks by Nicholas's brutal re- ply. Her breath was coming so un- steadily that she could not speak and her heart seemed to shake her body to pieces.
 T don't know what I meant, she stammered.
 And yet when she had asked Nicholas to take her away with him, had she not meant that he marry her? All these days that she had thought of him was it not just this that she hoped for? Was this not her single chance of escape? He locked so unromantic when she glanced at him. Yet he alone could take her home, save her from Helen Meyers, from this futile life that she must lead henceforth be- lside a jealous woman.
 Could you-give me the money? I would pay it back"
 No, but I'll marry you"
 You're sorry for mel she cried.
 Does it look that way? Why did come to this place? Why have I stayed? Why did I tell you last night"
 Suddenly she was in panic. Each way she turned she seemed to be trapped. She whispered:
 ''But-1 don't love you!"
 All she wanted was security. She was standing now as though she would run down that hill if he touched her. He drew her toward him, but all she said when she leaned back from his kiss was. ss s'Take me home"
 She left him with the excuse that she must go down to look after Magdalenna. but half way down the hill she decided she must go back to tell him not to tell her

father yet. She stole around tht winding path and stood still Ther she saw him lying in the grass or his face, his hands clenched in tht grass and he was sobbing
 She moved back step by step. His bitterness was only the shield oi an intolerable sensitiveness. Ht had seemed callous when he was suffering horribly
 She was not afraid of him now that she had stumbled on his se- cret. Some one needed her. as her father no longer needed her; and in that moment she knew she had found her excuse for marrying him.
 She liked places better than peo- pie, Nora decided. Wet mornings when the brown leaves glistened; cloud-filled afternoons; deep eve nings with their stars.
 Yet Nicholas had not disappoint- ed her. He was kind; he was even thoughtful. And she, who never had anyone in all of 20 years-ex- cept her grandmother-who thought of her first, was constantly touch ed and pleased.
 She was not excited by Nicholas; but she no longer felt strange with him. She was used to his moody silence now. And she believed with a pride that was pathetic that he needed her.
 Her feelings did not need ar engagement; for they were simply gratitude and pity and pride. It was, after all, rather splendid thing as Julian and Helen Meyers told her, that a man who would one day be a famous painter had chosen her from all the world
 But when she was alone it was of the old Dutch house on the river bank near Albany, where Nicholas was taking her, of which she etS otiiIi 5Al lAA6iiV have dreamed of love. No one would ever pull her up by the roots again. And she need not worry about money, now.
 Nicholas would give her infinite freedom and she would grow very fond of him in time. She passed over this very quickly.
 But she was hungry to know all about Nicholas's people; about his hone.- She urged him to tell her more.
 Nothing to tell That was my brother Jon you met in England, I fancy"
 He looked up. He was stacking his canvases face toward the wall He preferred, he had told her, that she shouldn't look at them. They were no good.
 No, I've step-sister, Damon. And her father"

 She was going to be married She supposed she should be happy; and she had never been more mis- erable in her life.
 At last they all leaned out to see the plume of smoke that hung above Vesuvius in the brilliant air; and Nora knew they were near Naples. Their bags went pitching through the windows to the plat form. Nora was between laughter and tears when Nicholas jointed them.
 Nicholas was strangely excited. His hand would be all right, he assured them. Her father asked Nicholas if he had the ring, and the tickets for the boat Nora moved in dream The only real person was Julian who was steady and calm in the rectory parlor where they were married q
