"Gal," suggested Chunk hopefully.
'"That's more like it. Ask her
what she wants."
"Gone"
His master went outside to verify
the report. He thought he heard re-
pressed laughter behind the hedge.
"Who's there?" he called.
A ringing voice answered. "Your
heroine"
This was something new. Did an
authors creations come to life and
Economically visit him in the dim
watches of the night? If so, there
was more to this writing business
than he had suspected.
A horn blared an impatient sum-
mons from the road. Retreating
footsteps were audible. He STUN
bled along through the darkness.
Two dim lights winked and van
ished. A door slammed.

''Why not?"

see us again"
II haven't seen you yet. Not real
ly. To what do owe the honor of
this visit?" he added politely.

put in second voice.
'Who?" he asked unthinkingly.
"You. We haven't got the wrong
bird, have WEI"
"Oh! No. Of course not" KEEL
sey fastened to reply, thereby en-
downing himself with a personality
which, for many troubled day,
was to enmesh him like an octopus.
You're sure you're Templeton
Sayles?"
II think l may be accepted as
an authority on the subject"
There was a whispered consulta-
ton; then, "Prove it."
Inspiration, though unbidden, the
favorite claim of Maiden Feather
ston, hero of "Love Beyond Sin"
came to his aid. II know all about
women" he acclaimed.
Perfect. Goodnight" came
back the joyous duet, as the car
sped away with derisive boot.
A vague memory hoVered in the
air and accompanied the young man
into the house. From the mantel
smiled the printed face of the girl,
labeled by the ribald Holmes, Miss
Adelina Ashcan. Was there like
ness? He almost made himself be-
lieve it. He picked up the clipping,
revealing back Of it the yellow en-
velope of the forgotten message ad-
dressed 'Templeton Sayles." Well,
for better or for worse, he was
Templeton Sayles now. He opened
the envelope and read with uncom-
pretending eyes:

date of the message. Four days old.
Probably the crisis, whatever it
might have been, was all over by
this time. Anyway the thing didn't
make sense to him. Thrusting it

TT is intensely interesting to note
the comradeship, the spirit of
mutual endeavor and cooperation
that exists these days between mer-
chairman, designer and the college
girl as to the planning of program
of clothes that must be practical
first of all, at the same time they
must date smartly for the varied
types of activities that crowd the
life of Miss Modern.
1t was happy inspiration that
moved merchandiser and style Gre
ator to call into consultation groups
of typical college girls, to take these
young people into partnership, so to
speak, in their efforts to assemble
wardrobes of smart apparel that
would meet the demands of every
occasion in thoroughly practical
sense as well as a highly fashion,
correct way.
In the Illustration we are showing
three apparel choices Of a typical
college girl who considers these
clothes classics as indispensable for
her alma mater. To be sure they
simply represent the initial numbers
that lay the foundation of a well
organized wardrobe.
Conferred in the picture Miss Col
legiate is properly attired in a twin
sweater set topping circular plaid
skirt plus the inevitable common
sense oxfords. And here's some
thing about plaids to keep in mind,
you can't wear 'em too bright this
season, the more red in their color
scheme the better.
To the right in the picture this
fair coed is wearing a skirt and
sweater combination topped by a

classic water-proofed clan plaid coat
with gabardine lining. Her sports
hat of felt is a perfect college-glrl
type. She wears the typical saddle
oxfords and wool ankle sox. Have
your sox initiated is fashions latest
message. You can know that the
coat here pictured will attend foot
ball games this fall, which was IN
the mind of the designer who styled
it with an idea for warmth and COM
fort as well as good Clocks" This
coat is likewise the type that will
20 to town often, will stand the test
of motoring and prove friend in
deed throughout wind, rain, sum
shine and the vagaries of weather
that mark autumn and winter days.
Miss College Girls choice to wear
on date with her best beau is
trim, very smart, very practical
outfit in black as illustrated to the
left in the group. Her crepe frock
has the pinched-in waistline such as
fashion demands this season.; also
the new back fullness. In her trunk
she has tucked away one of the new
detachable hustle bows which she
wears now and then to add an extra
note of chic to her frock. Her felt
beret (small, it won't slip out Of
pose in dancing) has the new for
ward tilt and she brightens the
whole with a f1amboyant necklace
and matching bracelet set in eye
thrilling colored. stones.
Not that choice must be restricted
to black dress with massive gold
and colorful stone-set jewelry for
keeping dress-up dates. To be sure
the big idea is black for your
autumn FIRST" but the gorgeous
colors on the way are simply breath
taking. The new wool dresses and
the very chic and fetching velveteen
dresses make Striking color their
theme.

Glacier White Is
Latest Lace Tint

Glacier white, which has a pale
blush cast, was one of Patou's
favorite colors for evening gowns in
the most recent Paris showings,
while Molyneux showed a vivid
bright shade of blue. Molyneux
not only did the new pencil-slim
silhouette in lace, but made quite
a sensation with his double-swing
skirts for dance frocks, which were
often ankle length. One of these
in black lace had three founces at
the hem, with deep square decol-
letage at the back edged with three
ruff1es. Another gown in the full
skirted group was in black net with
lace top.
In gown by Patou with long,
slim lines, fullness in the back was
achieved by means of godets, and
the effect was quite sophisticated in
lace over a silver princess slip.
