| | BISVOLUNTEER GUARDIAN {| By E. G. HOGSHEAD. “There,” sald Mrs. Kenyon, as she' hung up the receiver, “I hope she'll feel ashamed of herself now. That's! the third time this afternoon that girl has called up to ask for Irving—she wants him to call for her this eve ning. She’s the boldest young woman 1 ever met.” And ber kindly blue eyes flashed | und her cheeks reddened. “I dom't believe I'll tell him,” she declared. “If I do he'll surely go, and I hate to see him imposed on in that fashion.” “But you must tell him, mother,” eaid her daughter. “She’ll surely tell him if you don't and he's only our; guest, you know. You can't take the! Hberties with him that -you would! with Bob. Anyway, he seems quite! fond of her!” “Fond of her!" exclaimed Mrs,! Kenyon. “She has deliberately infat. | wated him. I wish Bob would speak! to Irving. As his room-mate at col- lege he ought to have some influence with him. If Irving's mother knew of the attention and money he is lavish-| ing on that girl she'd be horrified. 1 feel responsible for him while he's’ fn my house. I'd want her to do as| much for Bob.” “There's really nothing to do but to let things slide till the boys go| back to college next week,” declared her daughter. ! But the path of least resistance! was never the path of duty for Mrs.! Kenyon. The difficulty of the situa| tion appealed to her powers of strat-| egy. Dinner that evening was pur posely, though apparently by acet' dent, delayed a half hour. From soup to ice she deftly and tactfully dis eussed the charming girls of their circle with sly innuendos about the unwomanliness of calling up men al, all times and imposing upon thefr| leisure. ! After dinner two of Bob's friends| dropped in for a game of bllllards.! Mrs. Kenyon welcomed them cordial-' 1y. She waited till they were all deeply interested in the game. Then: she said suddenly: | “There, I nearly forgot. Miss El dridge called you up several times this afternoon, Irving. She wants' you to call for her this evening. The directions are on the phone tablet. I wish I had told you before. I'm so sorry.” ! Irving, with exasperating cheerful- ness, excused himself and hastened away. Mrs. Kenyon met her daugh- ter's teasing smile with a swift glance of indignation. During the next few days rumors of a theater party and a taxi for a dance increased her chagrin and de termination. At the end of the week her oportunity came. ! “Mrs. Kenyon,” said Irving, with a good deal of embarrassment, “I want a gift for a very dear friend of mine, something worth while—like a fine ellk umbrella—for a lady—a stylish one. I hate to put you to any trou- ble, but you see I don’t know much about these things and I thought per- haps vou'd help me out.” | “But, my dear boy,” objected Mrs. Kenyon. “you don't want anything so expensive as that. Flowers, books or music would be just as——" | “But I think a lot of her,” he inter- rupted, “and I want something wnrth" while. Here's $10. I don't know what those thincs are worth. If {t! fsn’t enough just let me know and I'll7‘ give you more.” Then he hurried out of the room. Mrs. Kenyon frowned. “The idea!" she said. “Well. that young woman will be disappointed this time. TI'll make it my business to see that there'll be no extravagance here.” With purpose of vindictive econ- omy she confined her shopping to the basement sections of the department stores. And it scemed that never be- ;¢ po o fore had bargains been so numerous and so alluring. H “This is an unusual bargain,” said one sa'osman. duced 10 $7.50. It's the very latest style 2 i the only one left.” Mrs. Kenyon fortified herself against the ter ntation with the vision of Bob i Irv 's place and purchased in- stead ilk and cotton | umbr t Irving's inquiries with ¢ ea cicnce, 1 Wh lrs von!" he said. “Are Jyou su tl enouy seems =0 cl i you have bough! iust that kin it had been! for yo | “Wh indeed,” replied Mrs. Kenyo mptly, forcing down the llection of the $12 ‘No one could wish lad of that,” he sald. d to me —_——— 6 “It's a $12 value re- gpening above the feet. t 1 wanted ! NEW TAILORED SUITS HAVE MARKED DISTINCTNESS IN CUT AND FINISH, | | Departure From the Mannish Feature Is Noted—Terndency to Drapery on Both Skirts and Coate— Much Fur Will Be Used. Fall tailored suits will be characten ized by various eccentricities of cut and finish. Occasionally a mannich, model is to be noted among the new consignments, but for the most part they are more on the costume order, and, although plain and exceedingly well tailorcd, nevertheless have a more formal appearance than the coat and skirt of other seasons. Much fur will be used, and there is a decided tendency to drape not | only the skirts but the couts, or at | least to ve them hint of drapery. ! Skirts are still TOW at (1o foot, but sually hay ne fullnecs, variously ! arranged, at the top—thut is, there may be a few gathers distributed along the sides only or across the back and frout or strung uniforw lly around the top, and there is us a break in the folds at the knee line oy ankles, caused by raising or lowering the ma- terial whe.e it is attached to the walst- { band. Generally this marks the ex- tent of attempts at draping. Today’s sketch shows a suit that is typical of fall's fashion. It Is de- veloped in the wedgwood blue velours de laine, and has for trimming band cuffs and a rolling collar of gray fox fur. The cutaway jacket is cxtremely smart, fitting smoothly in front and blousing a little in back. A sash of black moire is run through an eye- let on either side of the front at the bust line, and from there 15 carried ! downward and tied in a bow below the ' New Tailored Model in Wedgwood Blue Velours de Laine, | ist in bacl;, with two not very long | sh ends.

TANDING ruches are quite the thing just now and will be for some time to come. Most of them are provided with fine wire supports at the back to hold them up, but fall as they will at the sides and front. It is a fad to leave the throat uncovered or veiled lightly with net or lace provided in these ruffs. Nearly all of them are made to be laundered convenfently; if not in one piece, then in such a way that the washable portion may be easily taken away from its support and put back after its cleaning. These ruffs are worn in coats or under them, under furs, marabout and jackets. They pro- tect both the neck and the coat. When designed to be worn under an outer garment they are often finished Two examples of this design are ehown in the picture. In one of them (at the left) the ruff is sewed to a band of insertion of shadow lace and is wired at the back in two places. A jabot of net edged with shadow lace is plaited on at the front. A pretty finishing touch is provided by four tiny satin-covered buttons on the jabot. The piece Is fastened at the front with a brooch or bar pin. In the second ruff the lace plaiting (which is sewed into a very narrow band of fine muslin) is basted to a supporting collar of black satin. It is finished with little buttons of white satin, The standing ruff i{s not to be con- sidered by the woman whose neck and face are thin or scrawny., Fine net in high collars and chemisettes will do wonders for her, but the standing rulf will detract rather than add something toward her good looks, A pretty crocheted neckpiece is in- tended for a slender neck. It is made of two shaped bands boned or wired at the back and sewed to a plece of vel- vet ribbon at the front. Baby velvet ribbon, matching the wider ribbon used forms two little crossbars at the front. They are finished with small buttons of crochet. A little rose, two leaves and a pendant fuchsia blossom. all in crochet, are sewed to the velvet FASHIONS AND FADS. Dark, rich colors are emphasized. New tailored costumes are olive green.

In fact, it will last for years. Anyone famillar with crochet can make it. Three small fads of the hour made of silk or ribbon are shown in the pic- ture. One of them is a bow of silk crepe de chine. The silk is cut in bias strips three or four inches wide, which are made into plain folds slip stitched along the edges together. A smail cravat bow, two hanging ends finished with little balls covered with the crepe, make up this charming gar- niture for the neck. The other two pieces are made of very narrow folds of silk fashioned with little flower forms and hanging ends. In one of them fine strands (each supporting a tiny rose made of the same silk fold) are braided to- gether. Three of these strands are finished with little silk balls matching them in color. Half way of the length of the pendant ends they are fastened together with three little silk roses like those at the top. Two strands are cut off at this point, leaving three pendant Silk in three colors is used in mak- ing this pretty trifle of elegant neck- wear. Three strands are made of one color (blue, for instance), a fourth of pink and a fifth of light green, But any combination that pleases the maker may of course be substituted for the colors mentioned. The other little piece I8 also made of narrow folds in three contrasting colors, Strong colors, as sapphire blue, emerald green and carnation red, are used for this picce. Small “button roses” of silk make (in a group) a sort of brooch at the top. The three pendants are finished with little circles made by gathering the silk folds on one edge There is nothing more appropriate for a Christmas gift than any one of these neckpicces. The small ones re- quire scraps of bright silk and care- ful workmanship in making. The ruffs of net and lace are casier to make, JULIA BOTTOMLEY. ribbon at the front.
