By the Associated Press. PARIS, February 6.—The Spring ‘openings” of the Parisian style dicta- tors are in full swing. Paquin and Worth, opening today, brought the number of showings already on view to 46, and there probably are 9 more first- class ocontrollers of fashion still to make thelr 1926 bow, among them Lanvin, Callot and Boue. Chinese red, Springlike green, beige and dark blue are given as the colors 0 be most popular next season. One of the exhibits which has evoked much comment is that of Prince Felix Yous- soupoff's newly established house. The prince does not claim to be the artist who designed the gowns he is showing, and admits that he has at least three talented designers working for him. He avers his personal ambition is to turn women from imitating men in dress and to influence them to revert wnnl‘hmlnmetn-.'hhhm- always have lked. % SYNOPSIS. ir Hargrave Wendever, count tle- man and Ahancier. calls on'a {amous Tondon Dr. Horridee piore than ix or elght ‘months.

As a matter of fact, she’s gone to see about her frock for the ball.” Gorse smiled indulgently. “It's queer,” he reflected, “how often 1 find myself driftng Into your attr- She is a child in her tremendous capacity for enjoy- ment.

Hargrave even descended the stairs and looked in the restaurant. When he returned there was a puz zled frown upon his forehead. “This becomes mysterious,”* he dé- clared. “Horridge evidently knew we were talking about him and he has absolutely disappeared. Why he should want to avold me, I can't im- agine. T paid him the largest fee I have ever been asked for by a physi- cian in my life.” “Wait a moment,” Gorse begged. “They seemed to know him over there.” He made his way to the chef, who was seated behind the croupier, close to where the man and the woman had been playing. He came back looking more puzzled than ever. “The chef knows nothing about him, except that he plays high,” he reported, “but he believes his name is Horridge." Hargrave nodded indifferently. “There was never any doubt about that,” he declared. “I don't often make that sort of mistake." Returning from Mont Agel after a round of golf with Philip Gorse a day or two later, Hargrave, as he gazed idly down on to the panorama below, was more than ever impressed by the I've never The Casino, with its grotesque lines, its florid ornamentation, its almost flaunting appeal to a certain tawdri- ness in life, seemed suddenly an im- possible place, the life which centered from it unreal, the people, crawling about like ants below, not humans at fantastic unreality of the whole place. | it any different.

PLEASANT LAXATIVE For Sick, Bilious Children all, creatures of travesty, puppets, whose sense of the real things in life had departed. Philip Gorse found himself studying his friend’s expres- slon with some apprehension. He, himself a born optimist, had never wholly accepted Hargrave's grim pre- monitions as to his own fate. Today, for the first time, there seemed to be indications of it in his appearance. His lean face, with its coating of sun- burn, was still the face of a strong and healthy man, but there were tired lines about the mouth which were new; the weariness in his bearing and in his eyes seemed to speak of lessen- ing strength. ““You've had all that's good for you of this place, old chap,” he remarked, a little abruptly. Hargrave withdrew his eyes from their downward gaze. ‘“Where could you find a better.” he asked, “when one's life’s work is fin- ished? It rests with ourselves whether we make use of our opportunities for enjovment or not. I expect I have tried to squeeze a little too much out of the hours. We all do that when our time {s limited. “If I hear another word like that,” Phillp Gorse said firmly, “I'm going to march you off to the local vet. He's an excellent chap—can't do you any harm—and you're under a promise, you know." Hargrave nodded. “I've_been rather hoping I'd come across Horridge again,” he remarked. “The Horridge who isn’t Horridge," Gorse said stubbornly. “So far as the Monte Carlo hotels are concerned,” Hargrave admitted, *he certainly hasn’t materialized. I've had the conclerge at the Hotel de Paris inquire at all of them. I.can’t see his name either as staying at Cannes or Nice. Yet I don't make mistakes of that sort, you know, Gorse.
