It was only when I told him yeu were confidently expect- ing him that he showed any symptoms of ordinary friendlines “Oh, Lillian, you didn’t that?” Katherine exclaimed tress. Lillian gave her a quick keen look. “I'm sorry, dear, he said gently, “if I've intruded where I shouldn't. But take an older woman's advice and don’t let pride stand in the way of happines: Her voice was infinitely sad, and I knew that she was thinking of the happiness that was denied her, not be- cause of her pride, but because of the fate that linked her to Harry Under- woed, who not only had currishly de- sertdd her for Grace Drajfer, but who, she strangly suspected, was associated with that beautiful stormy petrel in treachery to his count Katherine's eyes filled tears which she turned aside to hide. T wished that she would confide in Lillian or let me do it for her, for I have the most childlike faith in Lil- lian’s ability to straighten out any- thing, no matter how tangled its threads may be. But Lillian’s mind was on somne- thing else. I knew it by the expres- sion that crept over her face as if she had just thought of something to which she must attend at once. She stood with her head bent for a mo- ment, locking and unlocking her fin- gers, then straightened herself and spoke rapidly, first closing the massive library door. “I've changed my mind nurse,” she said at last. at first 1 wauld try to trap her she was searching my room, and for that reason wanted you, Madge. to stay in the libra all the tie I was not here.

This Newspaper By Pictorial Review A Graceful Skirt of Chiffon Taffeta. Black chiffon tafleta makes wup this graceful one-piece skirt. It is gath- ered adbout the waistline under a straight belt and trimmed with a deep tuck. - B Fashion dictates many novelties in skirts this season, but none more attractive than this one-piece model trimmed with a deep tuck and poec- kets. The lower edge is turnmed un- der in a hem the same size of the tuck. Gathers take up the fulness about the waistline. In medium size the skirt requires 5% yards 36-inch silk. The cutting guide will be of ineay culable help to the amateur dress maker, since it will save errors 1a the arrangement of the patterm on the material, as well as material. An open width of the taffeta wifll be needed for the piecing for the skirt, Double the silk with right sides fac ing. The sash is laid along the sel vage and if it is lined, the lining iy cut in the same way. Now, take the remaining taffeta and fold in half. Place the skirt along the lengthwise fold, then lay the pocket to the right, with large “0’’ perforations on a lengthwise thread of taffeta. If the tuck is not desired, cut off the lower edge of the skirt pattern along line of double small “00” perforations and turn & 4-inch hem at lower edge. To make the skirt shorter, cut off from lower #dge of pattern the desired amount al- lowing for a hem, and raise the tuck accordingly. The majority of materials used for dressy separate skirts are so rich and effective that the very simplio- ity of many models gives them a dis- tinction that more gorgeous crea- tions might lack. Black satin is quite as effective as taffeta for skirts. — Pictorial Review Skirt No. 7470, Sizes, 24 to 36 inches walst. Price, 20 pents. ~ rose ¥ green or blue are embroidered with .-
