They were made of crepe silk, georgette or some other soft material of a silent sort. One of the leading French dress- makers has started the new fashion by making linings of many of her suit jackets all of taffeta. There are ensembles consisting of frock of cloth and figured taffeta silk, with jacket of the wool lined with taffeta fo match the upper part of the frock. To be sure this taffeta is rather soft and not very rustly, but it is taffeta none the less. Some of the new organdies are made up over Mght-colored taffeta ips instead of the crepes that have cen used almost exclusively for silk slips recently. (Copyrizht. 1927.) | SUMMERTIME BY D. 0.

Nothing too fine for her; she wanted only the best. “Haven't you a better quality?” she would demand, in quite her old-time manner, and out would come boxes and wrappings; and out of those, again, wonderful thing ings and handkerchiefs, underwear and linen. But she did not buy Holly’s house- hold linens at Steinfeldt & Roder’s. Not since Margaret’s marriage had she been in that store. By noon she was very tired. She went up to the restaurant and ordered herself a frugal luncheon, and, while waiting for it, listed her expenditures so far. She had done well, she T flected. ‘True, Holly would not have w0 many of each sort of thing—she herself had had two dozen of ever: thing, when she had married—but what Holly had was very good. She had ordered a New England boiled dinner, because it was ready The cabbage, she kaew, she wa She wa and, after it gestion that da she ate heartily, luncheon, she made some more pu chases, looking wistfully at gown with a chinchilla collar for her- self for the wedding, and then passing it by, There may have been a mo- ment when she thought of those other bonds, lying where they had lain for and doing mnobody sod, l\\ll she put the temptation away from her. And what she called Holly noney was not to be spent for he self. "Not one cent. But the indigestion hegan to bother She took a taxi home. The floor d with her packages; a boy rry them out for her. But she could not wait for their delivery. She wanted to get home and gloat over them, like old times. Like old times. She took out the money fave, and then closed her b a time, she dozed off comfortably. t the house Holly had mechan- ically finished her belated morning work and was watching for her mothe! Holly had worked hard, for not want to think how. She had told they had not believed her. She free. But Howard Warrington under suspicion. She was free, and they were after him, who had done nothing, known nothing. It was noon before she sat down and began really to think; and then her thinking got her nowhere, Some memory of Furness that morning came back, and she wondered if she had driven him away for good. The thought left her entirely indifferent, save for her inmer knowledge that, for the first time since she had known him, she had been absolutely honest with him then. “Honest for once!” she thought. “All along, I've been acting and lying. It been wrong. It's been immoral. But wasn't there a fundamental im- morality in the whole situation? Not the bond. That had been an ac- cident, a temptation in a weak mo- ment. But all the rest of it, their pretense at gentility, their snobberies and hypocrisies; how about them? She was through with them. If, after it all came out, she told Furness how she felt about him and he still wanted to marry her, she would. But she would tell him first. And it was out of that conclusion that she came to another. She would marry him, but her mother would hsve to clear things up. She would have to tell the police about the bond. it would not be So terrible, after for her Copyright. 1026, by Mary Roberts Rinehart and the Metropolitan Newspaper Service. all, They would not arrest her mother any more than they had arrested her. One could go to the district attorney and tell him the truth, and, so long as there was no consp and_the money was returned, there would be no_punishment. She knew that now. She made a bargain with herself: if her mother would clear Howard, she would pay the price. She would mar- v Furness, if he still wanted her. he went down the stairs when she | heard the door open, and found Mrs B: her arms filled with bundles, nt. e, face rad ‘Oh, my dear,” she said. “Such a morning!

It smells so.

I've dropped y But it was not there. Nor was it in the hall, nor in the vestibule, nor on the street. Afterward, Holly was al- ways to remember her mother, the agonized look on her face and the stiffness of her lips, as she talked on. “I had it in the tax I took out a dollar for the man; see, I still have the change.” She held out her hand. nd then T closed it again. I must ve dropped it there.” How much was in it?” ix hundred and ten dollars."” Mrs. Bayne turned slowly and stared at herself in the mirror. Then, without any warning, she fell in a dead faint. James still sat in the living room. The events of the day and Warring- ton's visit that evening had left him benumbed. The very futility of anger left him weaponless. He was ready to shake his fist at the world, but the world was callous to the shak- ing of fists. It recognized only ef- fective action—and he could not act. ““Won't you come to bed, James?"” Margaret had said. “You need to sleep and forget. things for a while.” “Not now,” he said, and looked at her with eyes that were at once hard and hurt. “I could warm some milk. If you have something in your stomach, it will make you sleepy.” He shook his head obstinately. “I don’t want to_ sleep,” he protested vehemently. “I've got to think. I've got to think this thing out.” She was suffering; he knew that. All her new vitality had been drained from her. She might have been the Margaret of six months ago. He was afraid to look at her hands, so sure he was that she had clenched the left one. “You go to bed,” he told her roughly. “I'll come in later.” He heard her moving about, un- dressing, the slow sound of the brush over her hair, the two small knocks of her slippers on the floor, and the soft rustle as she got into the bed. He wanted to go in, to kneel beside hex and put his head down and be comforted. But how could he? She was keeping something from him, something that she and War- rington both knew.

When, toward daylight, she crept to the liv- ing room door, he was asleep on the davenport. Things were no better between them in the morning. He shaved while she got the breakfast, but be- fore he ate he went down and hought a paper, and she found him in the living room with the paper on the floor, and what was left of his world in_ruins. “You id Mar I don't want sny breakfast.” Her look was piteous, but he did not see ft. “You can't work all food.” Then he turned on her. “Work!” he said. you sup- pose 1 can go to the store after that?"” He pointed to the paper, then picked it up and thrust it at her savagely. “Read it,” he said. “Look what vou've done to me.

Out of her ignorance she drew a picture of her sister in prison. 1t would kill her; she would never live through the trial. Her imagination leaped on. She saw Mrs. Bayne gone, and Holly's en- gagemgent broken. She saw the shabby old house, and only Tom Bayne and Holly in it. Time going on, d Tom Bayne creeping about, a sick an, a friendless man—and Holly's outh going, gone, like her own. “I n't do it,” she told herself. But she knew she would do it. By noon she had worked herself in- to a state of frenzy, and then the tele- phone rang. She was so certain it was James that her heart leaped; but the call was from Simmons’ grocery store on Kelsey street.

One Mother Says: Most children are very fond of raisins. Buy the small seedless kind and wash well in several waters by rubbing between the hands. After washing, put them into a collander and set it in a pan of warm water: change the water several times. Spread the raisins on trays and dry as quickly as possible. When thor- oughly dry, store in glass jars for future use. Use freely on cergal, in bread, rolls and puddings. They add concentrated and valuable nutriment at small cost of cash or effort. It is wise to buy the raisins in quantities. (Covyright. 1027.) — Nearly 4,000,000,000 pounds of corn is being raised in South Africa this year.

Let us talk about beautifying the hands today. I am not saying any thing about manicuring, however, for we've talked a great deal recently about caring for the nails. that properly manicured nails will almost save the appearance of badly treated hands, but they will not en tirely save them. The very best manicurist massage the hands. It is a perfectly simple As these establishments | ly done away with the manicurist’s table, and substituted armchairs, it is possible to lean back and relax completely. Partway through the treatment the manicurist rolls back the sleeves, massages each finger separately, then the palm and back of the hand, then the wrist and fore- arm. Treatment like this is most re- freshing even to the woman who finds manicuring a nervous business, You can easily massage the hands and arms yourself, for it is simply rubbing, working the skin back and forth, Use the thumb as a pivot, put- ting it in the palm of the hand, and then with the fingers stroke the of the hand, pressing toward the wrist.

Leather gloves would be too hot and uncomfortable, but suede fab- ric is so well made these days that it it quite as smart and good looking and much cooler. The cheapest and easiest way to keep the hands bleached is to use fresh vegetable juice.
