One might as well ask why the house builder puts up houses in a showy style he knows to be of not the best architectural type. or the theatrical producer offers plays that are high class only from the box office point of view The fact that there is so much “Junk” in the accessory shops of Parls ought to make the game of find ing what vou want ali the more inter | |e.nmx, You have the opportunity {for a little adventure.

That's that.”” observes the brother. We can't spend any more time pok ing 'round the shops. Let's get the we have to take things to, and buy om all bags. Get one of each kind of all they've got here and then it won't look as if we had bought ‘em wholegale.” One fashion authority here remarks with a sigh of relief that the bag has replaced what the French call the “portfeuille” tvpe of purse. Assuredly the bag that is a real bag is carried by a large number of well dressed women, but, on the other hand, many women cling to the envelope type of bag because they find it more con- venient. ¥ k% 'HERE should be something subtle about the bag and it should not be chosen with too obvious intenf 1o its | matching one's costume. The woman who chooses a bright green scarf, a bright green leather envelope purse and a green hat to go with her beige or black costume—and for another occasion purple scarf. purple purse and purple hat to go with the same wrap or suit—has followed a rather too obvious road to smartness. To | the Parisian the effect is “provincial.” To the knowing Londoner that sort of thing smacks of the “suburbs.’ One American hers merely comments. “All | dressed up for a matinee.’ With all the little accessory shops showing casés full of beads of every description it is rather interesting to hear one fashionable French woman observe that beads are mnot much | worn. Assurediy they are.worn—tons of them dangle round the necks of French women as well as Americans. Decidedly the cheap pearl necklace has been overdone. If you have pearis at all they should be small enough to be convincing. The heavy slave link necklets and round necklets of heavy gold that Americans wore so much in the Spring are little worn here. Very few of them are seen even in the shops. It is true enough to say that every one in Paris wants a colorful neck scarf. Even the man who collects the refuse at an early morning hour has one of these accessories. It is of brilllant greens and reds and he hangs it up on one side of his car as he empties cans on his way And practically every woman of the her suit she wears either a fur or a silk scarf. She is wise to choose & scarf if she cannot afford a very good fur. Besides, the scarf is more com fortable in days like this when the sunshine is bright and the skies are warm HERE are long silk there are enormous many of one as the other—but for the woman who does not want to be bothered with the dangling ends of the scarf the square is preferred. These are of all colors and all designs. Some of them show picot edges, some of them have neat machine sewed hemns and others have the ends rolled anrd sewed by hand. Many women. of course, buy the pretty figured silk by the meter and malke this little rolled edge themselves. Farrings are not worn more here than at home, but they are approved by the best fashion. Many women like to wear them even for the street as they provide a softening line that is needed now that hair is o shori and hats fit like onion skins Gloves are chosen by the partic woman to match the stockings. That is if flesh-colored stockings are worn then gloves of the same shade of beige are worn. However there seems to be no dispesition to wear colored gloves with the new colored stock ings.

Mrs. Judson was charming, and Betty ‘was about all that George ever imag- ined a gir] could be. The subject of the strike was not touched during dinner, but as thev left the table Mrs. Judson asked her husband what had hl:nened at the plant. At his answer her alarm was apparent “I'm afraid, John,” she said, a wor- ried expression appearing on her face. “I'm afrgid theyll try to do some- thing to you.” ~ “Qh, 1 guess I can take care of myself,” replied Mr. Jydson. He was none too easy in his own mind, but he did not wish ,to communicate his misgivings to the family. ‘“This man Egbert, who is the ringleader of the bunch, is a wind-bag. He said he'd ‘get’ me, but I don't think he would have the ne:ve to try—unless he was drunk. I was through one of those affalrs once before, before we were married. Usually it’s a case of one or two bad ones at the head, and a lot of other men following them blindly and half-heartedly. If we could get Egbert I think the whole thing would collapse.” “Is Egbert that big labor boss I saw coming out of your office this after- noon, the one that said those things to you?” asked George. “Yes,” answered Mr. Judson, “that’'s the fellow:” Then he turned to hi wife. “I'm a good deal more worried about the mill than T am about my- self,” he sald. "hut of course if any- thing develops I'll take megsures to protect vou and the children, He paused and thoughtfully stroked his chin. “I wish T knew somebody 1 could gei to go down to the mill gnd stay tonight. I'd feel a whoele lot easier.” “GEORGE WENT COLD WI' the other men in room?” suggested George. ‘would do it, I know."” “That’s a good idea,” agreed Mr. Judson, “I'll do it.” A moment later he returned from the telephone. “Paul is going to get the rest of the bunch and go down,” he said. The rest of the evening was passed on the porch, where the three young people sat and talked, discussing their school, their Summer sports, and a hundred and one other things. Betty rose in George's estimation every min- ute, and Bob, he decided, was a prince. It was almost 11 o'clock when he Jooked at his watch and, startled, he prepared to take a hasty leave. “There is no use of you taking that long street car ride,” said Mrs. Jud- sen, who eame out on the porch just “‘Beb can take you home in the car. . Thas »! th Beb and ‘George, the engineering ““Paul 'TH SURPRISE AND FEAR.” and away they went, Bob sitting down low behind the big wheel and playfully tapping the accelerator to make the motor “zuum,” as he called it. “Say, Bob,” George said to him, as they passed through the well lighted Btrests, “you ought to come down to the mill tomorrow. Paul Lane told me that there would be all sorts of trouble. * And say!” he suddenly straightened up, excited. ‘““¥You know, if the strikers are going to do any- thing tomorrow they mlght e having a meeting down in the South End te- night.” “What do veu v we drive down that way?" sugge Bob. It isn't much out of our way. “Good! Let's go."” At the next corner Bob swung the |car to the south. and soan they were riding smoothly through the dark xllfdow 'glho i"tnu h'" end of tuh:lL seemed quiet, hawever. re Were a few. loiterers on ghe cerners and a few boys still slinking along the streets, but there were no signs of disorder. “Isn't this a tough neighborhood?" Bob remarked. as they rode slowly through one of the worst streets. “Doesn’t seem to be anything doing here, though. Boy, wouldn't you hate to live down here? “I'll say I would,” replied George, a little slangily. Suddenly there was a loud “bang" divectly behind them. George jumped and smothered a vell, but Bob only grunted in disgust “‘Of all the lucl he said. There foes that right back tire. 1 knew t was bad—I should have changed it this morning.” The two bovs climbed out of the car. Sure enough, the tire was flat on the pavement. “Well, the only thing to do is to change it.” Bob glanced around. “Boy, I think this must be just about the worst spot in town.” George glanced around. Law, poer- Iy lighted buildings staggered ck from the dirty, rarrow street. .Just above them was a street light, but all around it the darkness was thick. “I don't want to stay here any longer than necessary,” avowed Bob: “There—yeou take the spare off and I'll_jack this wheel up." With the two boys workigg, the tire was not hard to change.. Just as Bob. was starting to tighten up the rim bolts, however, George looked at his watch. ‘“‘Say, Bob, it's after-42. call mother up. 1'd ‘better he’ll .be worrfed.” crouched po- . “That’s righ he answered. “You might run over and try in that store on the corner. You had better call my folks and tel) them, toa.” “All right. I'll be back in a min- ute,” said George, starting across the street. The “little store” that he entered proved to be a disreputable barroom. A number of —aqn unusually large number, George thought—were talk- 1 ;rounl the bar dnd tables. He ¢d one of them about a phone. “Yeh, kid, dere's one in de back room.” He turned and called, “Hey, Joe, is it all right for dis kid to use yer phone?” A cogrse voice gave permission, and George entered a om behind the outer one. The phone was on the wall, afd only a dim light illuminated the shahby furniture. It took him but a moment to call his mother and tell her of the delay.

The voice—surely it was that of Egbert, the man who had threat- ened Mr. Judson in the mill, and the ringleader of the strikers. The words —they could mean only one thing. George crept to the door of the room. ¥es—Egbert, drupk and ugly, was ranguing the other men. A minute of listening left George aghast. Egbert was going to blow up the Judson home, and the rest of the men were bound for the mill! Swearing and shouting, the men lurched from the saloon.
