A dinner, under the {auspices of the United States Fish- erie Association, of which William |Fellowes Morgan jr. is Chairman, , Will be given at the Hotel Pennsyl- |vanin Tuesday evening, ; . While the committees in charge of , the work will have the co-operation of hotels and restaurants, where thc | bills of fare will show a large and varied assortment of fish, the main jobjeotive is the housewife, who, they hope, will see the économy tn using | fish at least three times a week, which not only will reduce the weekly cost of the family food bills, but a potent factor ip regulating the prices on meats and other staple foods, Leading wholesale merchants admit the large supply of emga bas a far reaching influence on the prices of | other foods, At the present retail price of 42%, a dozen on eggs the housewife is paying only 28c. a pound for the finest food in existence and when it is considered that News York City consumed 8,240,625 pounds of eggs last week the effect on values of other foods can be appreciated. Lower prices on poultry and veai attracted many housewives, and man- agers of three of the langest markets | in Hariem said they sold more poultry and veal than in several weeks. Legs of milk veal were generally retailed At 2c. to 32c., while roasting veal sold at 20e, to 22., and from 6c. to 18c. on the shoulder and neck cuts. Fric- assee fowls were retailed at 40c, to 42c., and roasting chickens from 45c. to 48c. on the cornfed, while sume milkfed roasters were retailed at 50c & pound. Rb roast was retailed gen- erally at 820, to 34c. gn best cills, while the cash and carry stores re- tatled the loin cuts at ym te, to 3c. a pound. New and Ori on De By Mildre For Smart .

With the American woman, the firet essential is a straw hut, or oye of silken fab- rie in some light color. After that comes the tat- lored street suit, or the tailored street frock. Many varied types will be introduced both for suits and frocks, but the most talked of one, which nevertheless may not be the favored one, is the Directoire style, Certain types of women can carry this style very well, and for them I have designed this model, which ex- hibits together with its smartness and distinction a refined conservatism, Dark blue serge or twill are suitable fabrics, with black satin Introduced as trimming. , The bodice is plain, and has a very slight suggestion of be- ing high waisted, the skirt joining it without fullness. At the side front the bodice closes in {double-breasted fashion, with two large buttons, while a huge collar rolis away luxuriantly. “The black satin is chosen for the collar, with a band of serge edging it, and in the front a jabot of fine lage dropped from a high collar of net lends grace. The skirt, though lack- in fullness, is. granted a satisfactory trimming in many rows of bias black satin folds around the bottom, while embroidery in black and silver brings attention to two small pockets placed conveniently.

T last “She crept out of bed, drew off her rumpled dreas and in the dark room laid off her clothes and tiptoed to the closet for her nightgown. Varia could hear no sound in the apartment. It was as still as though she were alone. When she had slipped between the cool sheets she fell at last Into the sleep of exhaustion. On the other side of her door a)?! man paced the hall till the clock struck two. CHAPTER XIII, HPN Varia woke she could not quite remember what had happened. Had it been a night~ mare? That heavy dragging fear that had followed her through her dreams? Bhe brushed the hair out of her eyes and looked across the room, It all came back to her, for she saw he: pretty dress tumbled on the floor, the sleeves grotesquely pulled awry, her rivboned underthings sprawigd on @ chair, Nothing in its customary dainty order, that was as much a part of Varia Amory as the delicacy of her body! - This morning she had yowed to go ttle biack bag— Propped on her elbow she looked ; about the room; there on the floor be- neath her door she spied a long white envelope. Had it been there the night before? What was It? Hope, fear, longing surged through her as she slipped out of bed and picked it up. It borg no writing. It was long and thick and unsealed. She stole back into bed with it, shivering a little as the cold air struck her shoulders, un- conscious of the physical sensation under this sudden wild hope. Varia pulled out the sheeis of rust- ling paper and looked at the black, careful writing that was as easy to |read as print. It began without salutation. I can't ask you to forgive me, Varia, but I do ask that you will read this letter through. How I could have come to ac- cuse you to-night of having charged all those clothes on my bill is incomprehensible to me now; my only excuse is that I was very tired. I have been wor- ried lately, but that should not concern you—— ‘The bills came addressed to my office, and you can understand it was only natural that, looking over them hurriedly, I thought, of: course, they were yours. Now as I look back on the Tyoung clerk behind yaad to you, it’ the way you meet But when a little later she sat at the breakfast table, eating hungrily Sally Lou's crisp bacon and pbut- tering the golden popovers so ly brown, she was just a very human girl again. “You're to have the afternoon off, this afternoon and evening, too, But don’t think I'm going to spoil you, Sally Lou, for next day you must cook such a dinner as never was ‘aa'm,” the old negress armswered ny lacidly, “We'll have a stéak and potatoes au gratin——" she frowned as she vent all her thoughts on the things that would be most appealing to John's taste, The pages of the letter were quite worn out by the time Varia had read them over for the third time. John was offering her nothing but his renewed faith, his ¢riendship, She faw that now, a8 she had time to read |t soberly. She could not expect anything but that, Nina’s passion had held him too long in its sway to release him yet. They would have to leave this apartment and hunt for another just ‘because Nina had been so wantonly selfiah ag to order all those things, “IT can never forgive ber,” Varia Thought, as bitterness grew in her heart. * “ + “‘Sne looked about her charming. living room, at the sunlight that pat- terned her velvet rug and showed the Hawthorne bowls on her white man- tel. She was seated on her favorite place, the curving window seat, and she Knew she could never again have the same thrill in a@ little home of her own as in this oné, in which she had suffered and grown and changed from the dreaming girl to. the stronger woman. The sun struck opal fire from the Hudson River, and Varia, puzzling over the bitterness that Nina had brought into her life, rose suddenly as the bell rang. \ “If that's my_ sister, IT won't see her,” she said to Sally Lou. AS she stood trembling in her bed~ room she heard the mellow tones of Sally Lou: “No’m, she ain't at home to-day.” The lacquer jewel case on her dressing table caught her eyes; she pulled out the drawers and emptied the contents in her two hands. . lf Varia's cheeks were hot with embarrassment, she held her head all the higher as she entered Tiffany's with her bead purse clasped tight in her hands. She went over uncertainly to a glass case and looked down at the flashing watches that were set in their velvet boxes. “Is there anything I can do for you, madam?" Varia looked up to see a polite he counter, “Why, yes, there i He moved a piece of. velvtt on the thick glass and leaned forward in readiness. 2 Varia with burning cheeks was try- ing to unclasp her beaded bag, but either she was very awkward or her hands trembled, for it withstood her while she struggled with it.

Varia hugged the letter to her heart in her first wild exultation. He un- derstood! He understood! She sprang out of bed and, running into the bathroom, turned on the water while she pulled open her bureau drawers and tossed out her daintiest lingerie. Her trousseau, crepe de chine, with the pale pink rosebuds and the scent packet. “Mornin’, Miz Amory.” Sally Tou said, emiling, her big black hands on her white apron. ‘You certainly will excuse me, ma'am, but some persons rise up looking pretty as a rose and you am one of those person: “You're a wicked flattercr, Sally Lou!” Varia laughed, tossing back the hair that fell over her shoulders and showing her pretty little teeth. “Yea'm,” » Sally consented, smilingly amiably. “You all like a nice bit of bacon and a popover?" “Tm starved,” Varia sald, closing beginakas to dress ‘The open pages of the letter lay on her dressing table as she brushed her hair, and she stopped dreamily a moment to look about her. ‘The face of the Madonna on the gray wall, faintly smiling, wistfully rad, met her eyes, and Varia, leaning back, studied the delicate shadows about the mouth and eyes. “Nothing's quite all happiness, Varia nothing's quite all tears,” thought, ‘perhaps it isn't what emerald that her father had given her one Christmas, a string of tiny pearis, a pair of jade earrings, a bracelet set with sapphires and dia- monds that had been his last gift. “and then this” Varia unfas- tened. her wrist watch with its oc- tagonal face and its sides set with brilliants. “Do you wish them mended?” the young man asked examining a clasp. “No, I should like to sell them back to you," Varia said bravely. ‘The clerk looked uncertain, “That sort of thing isn't usually done.” He saw her entreating eyes and said slowly. “But I'll speak to Mr, Dixey about it.” He hurried off, await the decision. The young man returned in a few minutes, gathered up the collection and left. Varia, glancing idly about her, saw @ girl at the next counter, hesitating over a tray of cigarette holders, Moily Stilwell! She didn't want to be caught now—— i But Molly Stilwell, glancing up, was equally embai by the meeting. She said something to the clerk and came over to Varia. “That yéu of all people should be here,” Molly said. “Why not?

Wouldn't you, Varia.” “If you're not just doing it to be kind"—— Varia, said, while her white cheeks colored painfully. “T'll send you a check to-night"—— Varia crowded the bills down in her purse that the clerk handed to her and the two girls turned to leave, Once on the sidewalk Molly stopped a moment and then said, hurriedly, “He didn't propose! ‘Who “Andy Bruce, of course! Who could I mean? And, Varia, he's going back to Arizona! What would you do-- sometimes I think he found out about those two men and thought 1 was just a vamp—but I've a little plan.
