'S EMBERS e Garrison's Absorbing Sequel To “Revelations of a Wife” NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1928, |Once Overs | -Beginning a New Serial Princess Olina Reeeives Proof of Du- Plicity and Acts Immediately At my father’s dictum, Lillian, Allen Drake and I rose at once from our chairs realizing that no | time was to be lost in doing the things which the letter sent from the mysterious “K, seven” had sug- geated. “I'l wire to Dicky, Madge,” Lil- lan said, “for you're the only one to deal with Princess Olina. You'll have to put all your cards on the table. Incidentally 1 suppose we'd better give the once over to this letter which 'K. sever’ has sent for Olina's enlightenment before Madge takes it | with her.” She opened the letter as she spoke, glanced over it quickly and handed it to my father. “No sense reading it aloud,” she said. It's short, and evidently in Transvanian. ‘K. sever’ has append- ed a translation for our benerit.” ‘When it finally came to my hands, T read the translated phrases atten- tively. It should be potent ¥ thought to quiet Olina's doubts of the sinis- ter nature of the “message’” she car- ried. “See to It that vou token I'm sending you, as you did the first on the supposed friend of Olina had written, “for the time is short and anything might happen. Suppose the little fool died—where would you be then—with officials in charge of her body? Remember the negotiations for ransoming her will have to be conducted very adroitly. Never must any clue point even remotely toward me. I've done my part in getting her within a0 not lose this play me fals the message is about the jewels.” Lillian went with me to my room while T made ready for my trip to The Larches, and spoke crisply. “When T get hold of Dicky—on second thought I'm going to phone him instead of wiring—1'll eome on down to The Larches. It's going to take some hustling to get that estab- lishment broken up and the girl over here. Also, I'm going to ask your father's advice about letting Phil in on this. He's safe as a graveyard, and we may need him or his car or his coin. Good hunting, Girl!" But I was anything but cheered as T journeyed to The Tarches.

In my folly and credulity 1 nearly have done my country and yours a great wrong.” “Better d the letter anyway,” 1 said, and she took the paper from me. Her lips tightened as ahe scanned the words, but she handed |it back to me with no word of comment, although T knew that she had becn sorely stricken by the he: vealed therein. I men- !al luted her courage. She was every inch a princess in this trying moment, at least, She was regal also in her prompt | handling of the emergency with | which she was confronted. Her aunt had regained consciousness during the night and her condition was de- | cidedly improved. Fortunately for | our scheme, the physician in charge {dvendy had maid he would Uke 1o have her removed to the lospital, and Princess Olina, turning us all out, talked to her supposed aunt and uncle alone, coming out a fow min- utes later with their consent to the plan made for them.

Striped Chipmunk chuckled. “When Mr. Blacksnal shows up, Bammy Jay will tell the whole Graat World,” thought he. Then Striped Chipmunk dived down betwcen the stones at the end of the old stone wall.

Calloses Gt Gay Once More i Suspenders Are Becoming Things of Brilliance. BY CURTIS WOOD New York, May 8—Old-timers will remember suspenders as ‘*‘gal- luses”, something that you bought for 50 cents to give Uncle John down on the farm for Christmas. Youngsters probably won't know what they are. Or, at least, youngsters may not have known what suspenders were until now. If they don't make their acquaintance this summer they are blind. For suspenders, having & re- naissance all their own, have gone in for bright colors, patterns and put shirts and sox to shame and fancy buttons, buckles and other fastenings that are tricky as sports jewelry. And it {a most “collegiate” to wear ‘em. Prices Changed, Too If you think you can purchase old-time had better plan to this sum- { your conversion to | suspenders wait, They run as high as $20.

Once an Englishman put out silver grey “braces” with solid silver links and tabs for fastening to the trousers. They were considered “un- mentionable”—rather scandalously frivolous, and not nice. Now Amer- ican manufacturers use gold chains and fancy tabs for some suspenders is, in fact, a premium on the unusu- al touch in such things when it comes to this season's suspenders.

It is the wedding day. | Naturally,, therefors, THE gown in Miss Modern's life whieh has dreams and hopes woven into it as | gown, Curiously, the classic gown eof white or ivory satin is still chosen by the majority of brides, This is | due, porhaps, to the fact that the churches in which the gown plays its part have not succumbed to the craze for modernism in archi- {tecture and interior decorations. | 8o the classic gown fits into th 1mood of a church wedding. | Other Materials But there are other materials that many glrls prefer nowadays. 1 Chiffon lends itself admirably to | the moulded sithouette s0 much in | vogie.

Over this the Hlong-sleeved, surplice little jacket tiea in a pert bow in front. The veil is of the same net as the waist, cut circularly &o it falls in rippling folds about her, from ia smart little cap of duchess lace. The second gown {is a formal one of the classic satin, in an off- { white, softer than ivory. Four rows | or ahirring give the gown the jutted ! silhouette and aliow & most graceful {fullness. The uneven hemline is ac- cénted by a rose-point lace slip which follows the downward | also, and forms a second train fol- | lowing the line of the matin one, The bodice has shirring up and | down the sides, in a quaint manner. | ' Its meckline is modestly rounded and its sleeves are long and iwiden to . fall over the hands.
