You could gore the skirt from seven to ten, with flare at the foot, and stripe it with silk around the hem, running upward ‘in different lengths. Long, narrow vers of silk or cloth, in white or p: blue, trimmed in fancy braid and gilt buttons, will dress the cont prettily. To Clean a Collar- ‘Dear Mme.

As they walked along he fell silent, and a look of trouble settled on his big face. “Yow're an entertaining sort of ocom- anton,” seid Mercedes at last. ‘You haven't spoken a word for three blocks, and you,didn't even answer when I spoke to you. If you think I'm going ‘to take/a deaf mute to lunch'’-— “I'm sorry,” he answered contritely. ‘Honest, I am. You see I'm bothered I'm in a@ lot of trouble and there's no one I can talk to about it, We rich men are popular, and everybody likes to fawn on us and lay pipes to get some of our money. But when we come to a tight place and try to tell them about it they'te boted or else they keep thinkin’ all the time: ‘How can I get something out of this?’ And one might as well be talkin’ to a stone wall."’ ' Mercedes looked at him keenly, He was very much in earnest, and the real perplexity in his eyes touched her, He seemed so big, -so helpless, #0 lonely amid all his wealth. “I don't want any ff your money,” uu can believe that or not And I don’t want to force your confidence, But if it will make things easier for you to tell me about this trouble, or if you think I can help you"— F “Say!” broke in Barrington, “I really believe you mean {t, You'll think it’s queer; but no woman hase ever talked Just that way to me before. I'm pretty good at sizin' people up,’ That's why I've hung on to all my money #o long instead of bein’ swindled, You're o brick, Miss Garth." Seated at a shiny-topped table in o little cheap. lunchroom, he told her they whole story; of the existence of Fratr-/ leigh’s qunt, real hely to. the Townsley ; millions; of Dorothy's threat and her { terms of silence. \ Mercedes listened in wondering silence. “But are you sure this:aynt {s really living and that Miss Kerr isn't bluffing you?" she asked when he was through. “That's the point.

I'd almost rather go back to my job as foreman than marry Dorothy Kerr. I don’t care for these big, statuesque women, any- how. And Dorothy's a wildcat. I feel better already from being able to talk this out to you.’ ‘Perhaps I can help you still more," rejoined Mercedes. “You'll be surprised to hear that 1 was an inmate of that same foundling asylum.

Walking is the most beneficial and healthful of all exercises—yet there are comparatively few women who do it gracefully. The newest method of agquiring a correct carriage is based on a series of ex- érelses taught by ballet masters the world over to produce the grace and supple- ness necessary to stage dancing. ‘The aspirants for the ballet are taught by the use of a long pole—a sort of gigantle fairy wand which when waved abont and aloft In the proper directions will give the magic ease and freedom of motion, The curriculum of ballet instruction is one that will develop each and everx part of the body in harmony and jn unison. ‘The first thing the pupil is taught {s how to stand, and until the correct position in standing is attained all elso is postponed.
