The fact that Barker began life as | @ corner store groceryman did not | detract from his lovableness. It was that charming personality of his that made his business so great a success. In a remarkably ehort time he climbed | frf).n the retail to the wholesale dis- | trict and later his clever business acu- | men placed him among the noted im- porters of foreign delicacies. During his only trip to the continent he had discovered a little community of people tucked away in sunny Italy. [ The grapes they grew were marvelous | and without loss of time Barker had contracted for the entire output in the { form of raisins. He put a new brand ou the market, pushed and advertised 1t with a vigor the result of which ‘ made the little band of workers under the Italian skies open their eyes. In- | cidentally it filled thelr purses with the golden lira. Barker noted, with commendation, | to the packers, that in proportion to his increased demand for raisins, the packages improved in daintiness and artistically designed labels, The first shipment that came with | & new label brought an excitement , of admiration from Barker. There was a most bewitching face smiling at him from a medallionehaped wreath of flowers. He realized that the Italian workers had anticipated his desire and that the label was more attractive than any he himself could | have designed. It was unique, the rapidity with which Barker fell a victim to the smil- | ing face that greeted him from each package of raisins that he imported. The very first consignment had prompted him to remove one photo- lithograph and put it in an antique | gold frame that adorned his desk. The correspondence from his raisin shippers improved with the label. The old, long-hand scrawls were replaced by concise, businesslike communica- tions neatly typed on an up-to-date machine. Barker's interest was so great in this last step toward progress that he was compelled to write a per- sonal letter commending the Italian workers on their improved office staft and methods. Also he made delicate inquiry as to the personality of the Lady of the Label. He waited eagerly for a reply to his letter. Nor was he in any way disap- pointed, for return mail brought him an answer, Senorita Gamboza herself wrote in | reply to all his questions. First she gave him an outline of the daily life of the busy little community; that was followed by prettily worded thanks for all that Senor Barker had done in the way of advancing prosperity to them. Finally she gave him the in- formation for which he hungered. He read the paragraph over a second time. “I would have you km)w that my dear father conceived tHe idea of mak- ing me his partner. He sent me to London to take a course in English and commerce at the Pitt institute and I now do the correspondence which the senor was good enough to praise. The Lady of the Label, a Senor Barker poetically put it, is none other than my humble self. It was my father's wish that I adorn the product that has been so good to us. He bids me thank you for the part you have played so generously.” The letter was eigned Maria Gam- boza. Barker became more than ever possessed with the ldea of meeting the girl. He longed to look into the original of those smiling eyes and he determined to take a long-contemplat- ec vacation and sail for Italian shores. When he left his office he took the photograph from his desk and put it carefully in his suitcase. It was on the eastern slope of the Apennines that the Gamboza villa lay. As Barker made his way through the gardens he marveled at the still- ness until he remembered it to be the glesta hour of the afternoon. Very suddenly the incongruous gound of typewriter keys, clicking rap- {dly, smote his ear. He followed the direction whence the sound came and found himself facing a summer house pery. The typewriter stopped and a young girl stood framed in the vine- { hung door. Had the Lady of the Label really appeared? Barker caught a swift breath. The girl was smiling even as did the face on the label. “We have no need of an introduc- tion.” It was the girl who spoke first, and her slim hand was extended and her full red lips parted over a row of pearly teeth. that he visited our home.” Barker's kindly smile came to his | rescue | [ did not know that you—that— | well—I have not seen you before,” he said “] was very young when ycu came. ‘ The sencr did not so much as glance n my directicn at that time,” she said.

When one sees the model from the side, front or back view it suggests an umbrella opened wide. The great width of the skirt is at the top, where it stands out from the belt in horizontal lines, the taffeta folds being wired to give the um- brella shape. The skirt slopes in at the feet and is slashed at the back, which is another innovation, but is by no means the feature of the sea- son. Slashes and draperies have prac- tically disappeared and skirts are gen- erally cut round and plain or greatly sloped upward at the side of the front. Every belle of 1830 had a dress flounced from waist to hem, and the fashionable woman of this summer will be no less fortunate. There is a genuine century old costume of black taffeta that has tier upon tier of grad- uated frills encircling the skirt, and each nicely laid flounce is finished on the edge with a fold of taffeta. The sleeves follow the same style and are quite long. FOR THE ELDERLY WOMAN Great Variety of Pleasing Materlals Are Offered—Embroidered Net Dresses. Striped and plain moire is lovely for tailored suits, gabardine and needle cloth morning wear or the simpler ! afternoon costumes. Lingerie dresses in batiste are embroidered with raised handwork French designs. There is not s0 much eyelet work in the em- broidered dresses at present. Filet lace is given preference. Striped or plaid girdles give these summer after- noon frocks an up-to-date touch. There {s such a choice in these designs, wide, narrow and varied stripes and vari- ous clan plaids in all combinations of colors and in dull as well as bright hues and tones, that the gowns may be infinitely varied by a judicious changing of these girdles. The embroidered net dresses are al- 80 nice for elderly women. These are made up over white, with coat-like tunics and discreet little touches of color made by quillings or ruches. Taffeta coats on the mantle order are often cape-like in appearance; a pinked edge ruching outlines them. To Clean Satin. Peel and slice two large raw pota- toes and put in a pint of water with a pinch of salt, and let stand all night. Next morning sponge the satin on the right side with this mixture and wipe lightly with a cloth. Then iron on wrong side, and it will be as glossy as new. Sagging Seams. In making little girls’ dresses with the gored or plaited skirts, take a piece of selvage or firm, straight piece of material and sew it along the cen- ter back seam; it will prevent them from hanging lower in the back than Fashion Shop : «'I’ROVIDE the perfect ac cesories to men's dress— the details that make for 3 genuine distinction.
