STHE Christmas after the San

Charley Chaplin's The Cold Rush
This was to be my first Christmas
on land. During my seafaring days
/ never had Christmas tree. This
Christmas l was going to have a
tree for Father and me. Dad was
expected home from a voyage he
was making in the Oceania Vance.
No end of preparations were made
for that tree.
"Christmas morning dreamed
not cheerful holiday dream, but
dread dream-that saw my father
under water, saw him struggling to
get out. FESTIVE, went downstairs
early.

but an unusual article for our house,

not with me for Christmas.

burning for him. New candles were
inserted as the old ones burned out.

Christmas tree daddy; You will
have your Christmas tree
"By the New Year the Oceania
Vance was found ut the bottom OF
the ocean. IT was overturned there,
without any sign of the crew The
distance of the vessel from shore
was too great for any human TO
swim: the length of time since the
disaster was too great for any hui
man to endure without food
II kept the Christmas candles

Eighteen days after Christmas
my father walked into my house.
He and his crew had been picked
up by a Mexican fishing smack and
taken to southern Mexico, from
where he could not communicate
with us.

genially. Genially. yes, but In that

Serbia Always Markets
Brides Through Broker

Many of the younger Serbians wish
elders would abolish the custom of buy
ing and selling brides, but the older
generation can't see it that way. And
the authorities are helpless to stop
the practice, too, because negotiations
between the parents involved are car
ried on in secret by a marriage broker.
called the storjnik, and no one is wiser
until it is settled.
The supporters of the old order
claim they are put to great expense in
rearing their daughters, and it is only
right and fair that the bridegroom
should pay for the added help he thus
obtains for his household in taking a
wife.
Prices vary greatly in this Serbian
bride market, some fetching as high
as 10000 dinars (about $1,000, others
as low as 1000 dinars. A brides worth
is measured by her health, strength
and knowledge of farm and household
affairs. Beauty is secondary consid-
Grafton, but should the prospective wife
possess it her value is enhanced.
In many instances when sutton has
been too poor to pay the price asked
by the girls parents, he has abducted
his bride with the aid of friends. And
as only the splitting of blood can wipe
out the deep humiliation and disgrace
of having daughter "snatched," feuds
lasting through generations have In
this way begun.-Pathfinde Magazine.

OF more than passing interest, toU,
is the pointed turnover collar on the
jacket which gives decidedly youth
full aspect to the neckline. The grace
full Embroidered cape has likewise gone
pointed at the back to below the waist
line in compliment to the collar.
In regard to the model centered in
the group, the handsome MORE brocade
which fashions 1t Is one of the inter-
esting novelty weaves which empha-
sizes the fact that fabrics were never
more varied and fascinating than they
are for the new season. 1t is also said
that we are entering into an era of col
or the likes of which we have not
known for years and the green-gold
tone of the MORE brocade for the
capped waistcoat together with the beige
of the skirt goes far way to verify
the statement. This compose of two
striking colors also confirms reports
that daring combinations distinguish
the majority of costumes this season.
Note the rope braidings of self-fabric
which collar the throat and girdle the
waist, which is trend in current fash
ion that is chic to the nth degree.
Contrasting the color-glory of the
cape-suits shown, enter the handsome
topcoat of black cloth to the left in
the Illustration. 1t is an aristocrat
among spring coats, the sort in which
best dressed women find appeal. The
wide banding of superb silver fox adds
greatly to its distinction. The cape fits
snugly which is noteworthy detail to
keep in mind, as it is in keeping with
the prevailing idea. 1t is also well to
remember when selecting your new
spring coat that silver fox is one Of
the very smart frst-choice furs this
season.

DREFIX the word cape to suit, coat
or ensemble and you will be speak
ing in terms of smartest fashion. A
tremendous vogue is predicted for the
perfectly stunning cape-suits, cape
coats and cape-ensembles which are SO
dramatically lending their fashionable
presence to the spring style panorama.
The three models pictured were
shown at the fashion revue recently
presented by the Chicago wholesale
market council. Seeing that they
speak louder than words as to the new
spring fashion trends, we are passing
them on to you via illustration.
This trio of smart modes is style-re-
vealing from any number of view
points. Firstly the group bespeaks the
versatility of the new capped costumes
"a coat to the left, one of the very
new waistcoat effects in the center, a
simple, youthful two-piece suit to the
right, each Of which is styled with a
cape.
A most interesting feature in regard
to the tailored suit on the figure seated
is the narrow skirt which exploits a
slit hemline, detail which is consid-
cred tres chic for street wear. But
wait until we tell you of the breath
taking color scheme of this charming
tailleur! The cloth Of which it is
made is in the new blue called "del-
phinia," handsomely trimmed with
wide bordering of choice fox fur, and
here is the big part Of the story, it is
dyed in harmonizing darker blue
"tropez"-a perfect symphony in blue
even to the girlish off-the-face hat, the
brim of which is smartly fluted at the
edge. Fur dyed in exotic colors to
match the materials it trims is one of
the thrilling adventures which fashion
is making this season.

SPRING FASHIONS
ARE INTERESTING

Rare color combinations, unique
types and arrangements of trimmings,
and tricky fabrics are doing their
best to attract women's attention to
the new spring fashions. The alliance
of tomato red and chartreuse is one
of the most arresting of the colors
that you'll see but no more impressive
than the use of red and yellow. A
wooden jacket costume of a porous.
honeycomb wooden appears in the
chartreuse shade but adds a stom-
acher of the tomato colored crepe.
One evidence of the discard of the
red and yellow rule is yellow knitted
frock trimmed with bright red buttons.
These buttons fasten the shirtwaist
front, the composition of which they
are made being duplicated on the red
leather belt. A silk scarf that is
striped with alternating bands of the
two colors is tied carelessly around
the neck. .l

Foot.Worm Disease

The malady which has been termed
foot-worm disease, is an infection Of

tode worm known as the onchocera
fiexuosa, which sometimes reaches a
length of 10 inches, says the Detroit
News. These parasites are found ex-
tended in the subcutaneous tissues.

even be loosened.

"The pool rooms good place for
you to be, Limpy. Great center for
news. Well You keep on re-
porting everything that's said there.
d. Good night"
Holbrook limped out and Brandon,
alone, puffed for time on his cigar.
Next, he opened lower drawer and
drew out bottle of whisky. Only one
drink remained in it. He frowned. A
year ago he had procured that liquor;
for nearly twelve months it had been,
scarcely touched. But since the night
that old Don Stuart died it's contents
had been drawn upon frequently. His
hands shook bit as he lifted the bot
tie to his lips, now, but after drinking
new strength began to surge through
his body and he smiled. He looked
at his watch after a time and then
out into the street. After time he
rose and walked to the wall telephone.
"Give me Miss Coburn's house, will
you?" he asked the operator. Hello
Miss Co All, Dawn! It's Uncle
Nick talking. Want to go to the movie
tonight?'
She seemed to hesitate and he tilted
his head sharply, lips parted. Then
her voice came.
"It's nice of you to think of me, Mr..
Brandon. But l don't think I care to
go with you tonight"
"Oh; sorry" he said genially enough
but his brows gathered. another
time, them"
Perhaps"
Her receiver clicked up and he
turned away from the instrument
scowling thoughtfully.
mister Brandon, eh?" he said softly.
"And No excuse Well!"
The last word was spoken with
snap, as though a chapter were closed.
He paced the floor slowly. He was
brooding. planning, and by the look
on his face it was evident that he
planned good for no man . except,
possibly Nicholas Brandon.
Perhaps he was thinking of the mat
ter that was to confront Ben Elliott
within twenty-four hours.
