An iilustration of this fact is found in the design of to- day, It Is multable for serge, satin, vel- vet, velours, Mnen or almost any other fabric of medium welght. The revers of this model achieve distinction for the frock by an un- common selfishness. Not satisfied with an honored place on the waist, they continue past the belt line, where a trimming band on the skirt stops them abruptly. Another trimming band be- low this, together with the belt above it, forms an effective triple trimmin, Of dark army blue material this de- sign would be pretty with gray broad- cloth combined as revers, cuffs, trim- ming bands and skirt band, and blue braid trimming the gray portions.

The scene fades into blackness— then the mist gradually clears and we are back in 1429, in the French Village of Domremy, the birthplace Joan, Here, under sunny skies, with thelr house facing the little church, the d'’Are family spend their quiet, busy humdrum existence, In which the coming of Joan's Uncle HER TO GREAT DEEDS.

Isambeau goes on to recount hope- fully, however, the old French prov- erb that “France, lost by a wanton, will be saved by @ Virgin!” As Joan listens to this, absorbed, the part- ridge 6lips from her hand into the tire. She reaches to rescue it, but the grease spurts up in @ flaine and burns her hand. She pulls back with a frightened cry, “Tho fire! The fire!” suddenly Knowing that some place, some time, she will feel this same flame on her flesh again. Meantime, knowing of Charles's impoverished court and his great love of luxury, the cunning English Regent, the Duke of Bedford, cou- celves a plan to ruin Charles and get possession of the remainder of h's kingdom. So he takes his capable young captain, Eric Trent, and de- cides to visit the Duke of Burgundy, Charles's cousin, who is unfriendly to Charles and loyal to England Burgundy welcomes Bedford Erle Trent and the plot a French King is laid Hurgundy that there's a “plum in the ple’ for both of them if England takes the crown of France, and tn order to do this they must first strip Charles of all power.
