PAGE TWO Voile Blouses for Daily Wear B SEEM to have got away forever from the stiff and starchy shirt- waist and to have adopted the soft and comfortable blouse, without any sacrifice of neatness. There are plain waists of trim wash silks and others of batiste and voile. The good, at- tractive, all-round walsts of voile, like those shown in the picture, combine 80 many satlsfactory features for dally wear that they are most popular of all. One of the best new models is pic- tured here, with round neck and long eleeves. It is cut with drop shoulder, and the seams are hemstitched. Small tucks decorate the body and sleeves. The neck is finished with a narrow turnback collar edged with a pet flounce. A little hand embroidery touches up the collar and its net edg- ing. There is a net flounce at the wrists. The lower sleeve is set on to the upper sleeve a few inches above the elbow. The second walst is a high-necked model embellished with tucks and small pleces of Irish lace insertion let into the voile. The collar and sleeves are finished with tucks and insertion and are bordered with a lace edging to match the insertion. Hand crochet or cluny lace {8 most desirable, a good match for the voilé in wear-resisting qualities. The sleeves are three-quarter length and all seams hemstitched. It is bet- ter to make the collars detachable, as they soil more quickly than the body of the walst. In selecting the voile, choose a sheer variety made of very hard twist. ed threads. It will thicken a little with washing, and it 18 a good idea to rinse it out and iron it before mak- ing it up. The front panel in this walst is dec- orated with small sprays of embroid- ery. It is one of the few models that open in the back. For the business woman and for home wear these walsts provide one with cool, comfortable garments hav- ing the charm of crisp neatness added to their other attractions, without any hard, starched surfaces to suggest dis- comfort and become mussed. A very little starch or none at all {8 used when they are laundered. The ex- pense of the materials is next to noth- ing, the handwork places them in the elegant class, and their durability pays for it. They are an evolution in walsts, the outcome of long experi- ence with the requirements of Ameri- can woman. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. G. H. Alfleld Res. Phone 39 Blue Office Phone 348 Black.

THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAN | \ | Time had been when the Tylers and | Warrens were on the best of terms and | the children of the two families played together. But there came a later date when the heads of the households had | some business that involved a dis- puted title deed. There were misun- derstandings and bitter words which left in their train rancor and resent- ment. And the once smoothly trimmed osage hedge between the two lawns grew into something that resembled a forest. So it happened that through their early youth Donald Warren and Edith Tyler saw very fittle of each other. But it also happened that they both went away the same year to the State university, and for the fitgt t¥me since AT THE OSAGE GATE By KATHERINE HOPSON. { their ghildhood became really ac- as a trystiug place. But not a word of their love did they breathe to their respective fam- ilies—even when they were graduated and their romance, long past the puppy stage, had assumed the propor- tions of a full-fledged engagement. When one family gave a social| function the enemy would give an-, other—a more pretentious one if pos- sible. Therefore, when Edith Tyler gave a house party that June to some out-of-town friends Mabel Warren, Donald's sister, gave one likewise. And the comings and goings of the furnished conversation rival party for the other. On this afternoon, the Tyler party, after a heated game of tennis, was resting under the shady maples when Lucy Bartel remarked: “1 verily believe Donald Warren is in love with that red-haired Gleason girl. He Is certainly her devoted cavalier.” Just then the couple in question sped past in Donald’s new touring car. “Yes,” remarked another girl, “I've seen several things to make me think 80." Edith Tyler smiled with her lips, and sald never a word. Mr. Jonathan Tyler, her father, who had heard these remarks chuckled. *I shouldn’t wonder if the family encour- ages them. The Gleasons are the largest land-owners in their county, and old Warren would look upon the match as suitable.” Edith listened and wondered. Could it be true? Donald—her Donald— making love to another girl? Covertly she felt a slender chain she wore about her neck beneath her dress. From it was suspended a diamond Maybe that is why he was so late last evening. Meetings between them were now few and far between owing to their duties as host and hostess. "\l[ she now saw other reasons. Trifles became magnified. Thus did the green-eyed monster gnaw at her heart. She had received a note from Don asking for a few words at the Osage Gate—for so they designated their trysting place. After what she had heard, Kdith was first disposed to re- fuse. Then she decided to be pur- posely late to try him. But when the hour came she was on time. Eight o'clock came and he did not appear. Quarter past! Three quar- ters! The night grew dark and damp. Somewhere nearby, she heard the lonely cry of a hoot owl. At this she gathered her dress around her and fled back to the house where her guests were merrily dancing. Thus quainted. A forgotten gate in the overgrown hedge was made to yield again on its rusty hinges and serva | she just missed an eager hurrying man who arrived just after she had gone. “No doubt he was with that Gleason girl and forgot all about me.” A lump rose to Edith's throat and was angrily choked back. “Well, I don't have to stand this. Other young men appreci- ate me anyway."”, She thought of Tom Sanford, one of the guests who had been very attentive. Hitherto, she had held him at a distance, but now she encouraged him. When he asked her to go with him to Barview the last of the week to a circus, she ac- cepted. The Penlow Brothers' World Re nowned Circus was a much heralded event, and all the country-side at- tended. Early that morning, Edith gaw Don go whizzing by in his car. Beside him on the front seat sat Ruth Gleason with a fetching green scart protecting her Titian locks Soon Edith and Tom Sanford were following suit in the latter's runabout. Edith wore on her curly brown head a blue auto bonnet which accentuated the color of her eyes. Apparently, she was happiest of the happy, and gayest of the gay. When the afternoon show was over, the crowd became so dense that the young people of the Tyler house party became separated. They had prepared for such a contingency by planning to meet at the parlors of the hotel From there they would go together to a picnic supper given by one of Edith's friends who lived at the edge of Barview. Though they were late in reaching the hotel, Edith and Tom were appar- ently the first ones there of ‘(heir | party | “The others must have stopped in the menagerie tent,” Edith remarked. “Maybe they have come and gone,” | asked for a drink. { Woman handed him a gourd dipper full 1914, Edith was watching. “Why don’t they come?” she at last exclaimed, impa- tiently. “They surely must have gone n.” Still Tom did not return. At this moment a small boy entered the room, and after eyeing her shyly for a few minutes, plucked up courage and asked: “Are you Miss Edith Tyler?” “T am.” “Here's a note fer yuh.” It was from Tom. She tore it open and read: ‘“Dear Edith—I am sorry to play what will seem like a shabby trick, especially when you and your people have entertained me so royally, and made things so pleasant for me this last week at your house party.

I've been rushing my head off to get here.” “I've been here nearly two hours.” Her tone was tart, for she was very tired. In her overwrought state she felt no surprise at seeing him. “Did you get Sanford’s note?”’ She nodded. “] guess they worked a surprise on everybody.” Somehow, his jocularity proved the last straw. “I think they might have arranged things so as not to leave me fn such an embarrassing position. They might have given me some hint.” Wrath was in her volce. Don was troubled. “Oh, come; nev- er mind,” he soothed. “Old Sanford was no end sorry to play such a shab- by trick on you people when you had been 80 nice to him. But it couldn’t seem to be helped. He told me his troubles some time ago, and 1 prom- tsed to help him. That’s why I had the bunch for a house party now. But it was a personal sacrifice, for it pre- vented me from being with you so much—"" “Things have been so mixed up, I thought—I thought—" The rest was lost in tears which Don soothed in his {ndividual way. When she was calm he sald: “Do | you know, Iidith, I've been thinking that Ruth and Tom were pretty wise after all. Their quiet marriage has prevented a lot of bother and opposi- tion. Why shouldn't we follow their example? TI'll get the license, and we can be married at my aunt's home. She'll help us, I'm sure. She never has been in sympathy with our pa- rents' senseless quarrel. Besldes, [ have a good position now with the Cregor company.” The proposition took Edith's breath, and at first she decidedly refused, but at last her objections were overruled. It was arranged, and his aunt, Mrs. Margrave, helped them with the sim- ple wedding. When it was over, they started back home in Don’s car. The summer moon was glorious and the white road stretched before them like an enchanted highway. Nevertheless, as they approached their respective homes, some of the glamour gave place to misgivings. “Shall we tell our own parents our- selves?” Edith nervously asked. “1 should think it would be better to face the music together. And I'll do the telling,” replied Don. They found the pienic party had not yet returned; but through the lighted window, Edith saw her pa- rents sitting in the library. Together they entered, outwardly brave inward- ly quaking. Don quietly stated mg’ facts. Edith, prepared for a storm, was all ready to fling herself on her father's neck with tears and supplications.
