That in the comparatively recent
past our Great Lakes were much
larger than they are today is no Sc
cret. And indications that the re-
cession is continuing are easily dis
coverable. But just how rapidly the
outlines and levels of the lakes
change is another matter, and some
reports made by two men from the
University of Michigan invite atten-
ton to this somewhat important
question, says Detroit Free Press.
Recently DR.. E. G.. Greenman,
archeologist, uncovered on Great
Cloche island in the Georgian bay re-
gion the evidences of a great gath
ering of Indians at spot which
was then on the beach of the lake.
But this same spot is % feet higher
than the present beach.
Estimating that the water table
has been falling for some thousands
of years at the rate of foot in
from 38 to SO years, DR.. George M.
Stanley after studying the site be-
lieves the Red Men held their pow
wow and feast somewhere between
500 and 300 A. D.
However, all biologists are not in
agreement regarding the rate at
which the big lakes have been re-
ceding, and the estimate of one con-
sentative savant would put the gath
ering back about $500 years, which
would be in the neighborhood of
1000 r. G.

spicuously enhance at the waistline.
Which reminds us that designers
are very enthusiastic in regard to
ornamental buttons, either large
and colorful like these, or veritable
jewel pieces in their settings of col
ored stones.
If there is schoolfaring maiden
who has not turned plaid-minded
this season during this epidemic of
plaids now sweeping through fash
ion realms be it known that she is
certainly an exception to the rule.
When you see such eye-compelling
outfits as that shown above to the
right in the illustration one readily
understands the reason why such
fuss and Juror is being made over
handsome wool plaids this fall. This
most attractive daytime frock fash
Toned of fine Scottish clan wool plaid
was selected for illustration from
among a flock of gorgeous plaids
displayed at prevue showing of
autumn and winter fashions present
ed by the Style Creators of Chicago.
1t is typical of schoolgirl choices
this season.
Had you thought of a Roman
striped wool jacket to wear with
different skirts, of dark monotone
wool? The biggest argument we
can make in favor of such selec-
ton is the stunning style pictured
above to the left in the group. Here
is an example of the effective way
in which designers are working out
color alliances. Under this Roman
striped wool jacket this lady of high
fashion wears a chartreuse blouse
of silk crepe draped from a demure
neckline and rendered uneven at
the waistline by a black serpentine
belt. The plain skirt is of black
wool.

him. But she thinks she is. There's
nothing more that can do"
Evans had taken the letter to the
library to read. He was alone, ex-
cept for Rusty, who had limped
after him and laid at his feet.
She loved-Towne. And that set
tied it. 81 am marrying Mr.. Towne
because ! love him." Nothing could
be palmer than that. Badly might
protest. But the words were there.
AS Evans sat gazing into the fire,
he saw her as she had so often
been in this old room-as a child,
sprawled on the hearth-rug over
some enhancing book from his
shelves, swinging her feet on the
edge of a table while he Dragged
of his athletic prowess; leaning over
war-maps, while he pointed out the
fields of fighting; curled up in
corner on the couch while he read
to her-"Oh, silver shrine, here
will I take my rest .9.."
He could stand his thoughts no
longer. Without hat or heavy coat,
he stepped through one OF the long
windows and into the night.
AS he walked on in the darkness,
he had no knowledge of his destina-
ton. He swept on and on, pursued
by dreadful thoughts.
On and on through the blackness.
No moon wet wind blow
ing . /. on and on
He came to bridge which crossed
culvert. No water flowed under
it. But down the road which led
through the Glen was another
bridge, and beneath it a deep, still
pool.
With the thought of that deep and
quiet pool came momentary relief
from the horrors which had bounded
him. 1t would be easy. A seconds
struggle. Then everything over.
Peace. No fears. No dread of the
1t seemed long time after, that,
leaning against the buttress of the
bridge, he heard, with increasing
clearness, the sound of boys voices
in the dark.
He drew back among the shadows.
1t was Sandy and Arthur. Not three
feet away from him-passing.
"Well, of course, Mr.. Toilette is
just man." Sandy was saying.
"Maybe he is" Arthur spoke
earnestly, t'but I don't know.
There's something about him"
He paused.

struggling to express himself,
splendid. 1t shines like light
Their brisk footsteps left the
bridge, and were dulled by the dirt
road beyond. Sandy's response was
inaudible. A last murmur, and then
silence.
Evans was swept by wave of
emotion; his heart, warm and alive,
began to beat in the place. where
there had been frozen emptiness.
Something splendid-that shines
like light!"'

moment to Jane. II can't describe
it. It was miracle-their coming.
AS much of a miracle as that light
which shone on Paul as he rode to
Damascus. The change within me
was absolute. I was born again.
All the old fears slipped from me
like garment. I was saved, Jane,
by those boys voices in the dark. -
The next day was Sunday. Evans
called up Sandy and Arthur and in
vited them to supper. cold Mary
said you were here last night, and
didn't find me. I've a book or two
for you. Can you come and get
them? And stay to supper. Miss
Towne, will be here and her uncle. /"
The boys could not know that they
were asked as a shield and buckler
in the battle which Evans was fight
ing. It seemed to him that he could
not meet Frederick Towne. Yet it
had been, of course, the logical thing
to ask him. Edith had invited her
self, and Towne had, of course,
much to tell about Jane.
Evans, therefore, with an outward
effect of tranquility, played the
host. After supper, however, he
took the boys with him to the Ii
brary.
On the table lay gray volume.
He opened it and showed the Cruik-
shank illustrations.

Sandy; edo you like it?''
eyes" Evans leaned above the
book where it lay open under the
light. and started to read to them.
That night Evans found out for the
first time something about his moth
er. "You look tired, dearest" he
had said, when their guests were
gone, and he and she had come into
the great hall together.
81 am tired" She sat down on
an old horsehair sofa. 81 can't stand
much excitement. 1t makes me feel
like an old lady"
"You'l never grow DID," He felt
deep tenderness for her in this
moment of confessed weakness. She
had always been so strong. Had re-
fused to lean. She had, in fact, TAX
en- from him his sons prerogative
of protectiveness.

said.

"What did he say?"

says I must not push myself"
II am worried. Let me look aft

That will give you an extra nap"
"Oh, won't do it, Evans. You

ing to boss you around bit" He
stopped and kissed her. "You are
too precious to lose, Mumsie."
She chung to him. 'What would I
do without you, my dear?"
He helped her up the stairs. And
as she climbed slowly, his arm
about her, he thought of that dark
moment by the bridge.
If those young voices had not
come to him in the night, this loving
soul might have been stricken and
made desolate; left alone in her
time of greatest need.

Porcelain Chains
Scoring Success

With pottery and china jewelry
scoring such success, it has been
only a short step to the use of por-
celain for their chains. Thin plastic
links rather than metal for neck
laces and bracelets are sometimes
opaque and sometimes transparent
and will not tarnish as some metals
do. They are, of course, much light
er than metal, and add the fin
ishing touch to the whole scheme
of lightweight jewelry.

Three in One New
Design in Goats

Something startlingly different in
fur coats for next season is the
three-in-one design. 1t is made as
a jacket, skirt and sash. When the
jacket and skirt are worn together,
they make a full length coat, with
the sash for a belt. The Jacket
can be worn separately, as can the
skirt, which, combined with the
sash, forms cape that will do for
evening wear.

CHAPTER XIII

Once more the Washington papers
had headlines that spoke of Della
field Simms. He had married
stenographer in Frederick Towne's
office. And it was Towne's niece
that he had deserted at the altar.
And most remarkable of all, Edith
Towne had been at the wedding. It

was Eloise Harper who told the re-
porters.
''They were married at the old
Inn below Alexandria this morning,
by the local Methodist clergyman.
Miss Logan is Methodist-fancy.
And Edith was bridesmaid"
But Eloise did not know that Lucy
had worn the wedding dress and
veil that Edith had given her and
looked lovely in them. And that
after the ceremony, Delafield had
wrung Edith's hand and had said,

you for what you have been to

the garden.

care you sure it didn't hurt?"
She smiled at him from beneath
her Zig hat. ''Not bit"
The moment was ripe for ro-
nance. But Badly almost feverish-
ly kept the conversation away from
serious things. They had talked Sc
riously enough, God knew, the other
night by Edith's fire. He had seen
her lonely in the thought of her flu
ture.
"When Uncle Fred marries
won't stay here"
He had yearned to take her in his
arms, to tell her that against his
heart she should never again know
loneliness. But he had not dared.
What had he to offer? A boys love.
Against her gold.
So he talked of Jane. "She doesn't
want her engagement announced I'M
til she gets back. I think she's
right"
II DON'T" Edith said lazily. eff I
loved man I'd want to shout it
to the world"
They were sitting on rustic
bench under the blossoming plum
tree. Edith's hands we're clasped
behind her head, and the winged
sleeves of her gown fell back and
showed her bare arms. Badly want
ed to unclasp those hands, crush
them to his lips-but instead he
stood up, looking over the river.
"Do you see the ducks out there?
Wild ones at that. A sign of spring."
She rose and stood beside him.
"And you can talk of-ducks-on
day like this?"

She swept out her hands in an
appealing gesture. "say it. want

She was adorable. But he drew
back a little. We've gone too far
and too fast. 1t is my fault, of
course, for being romantic fool"
