The clash came with Elspeth in
her last year at finishing school.
Cars crashing together in a. thick

wife half a million in trust. pro-

went to two nephews. gentlemen-
sportsman away for three years in
the wilds of Africii.
The trust laspcd automatically to
the rosiduary estate. Elspeth had
nothing beyond her‘ few valuables?
Being men of hearts, the executors
in pity paid her school bills. and
asked what she could do? This was
a month after the funeral—she. an-
swered steadfastly: "I can—dance.
Miss Gore will keep me as assistant
-—so I shall not starve—for a while."
Two year's of it had worn thin her
Dancing was in her
blood. her very soul—she loved it
passionately—but not the senseless
posturings. whirling: and dips fash-

at th school through vocation. but
had desperately quitted it. and found
heaven in the Bailey homestead,
here in the heart of the grass coun-
try. Five hundred dollsrs. plus her
. ' '
vitiful ornaments. stood between her
and starvatibn, yet she resolved to
rest. ' Afterward—dimly there came
a Vision of light. color. music. and
herself hosting flower-like. star-like
through the sea of it. ‘
Late August found her a. new
creature—refreshed. vital to her fin-
ger-tips. flaming with courage. do
she sought out a secluded circle of
sword. where daily for 'bours she
dreamed. now and then transmuting
'the dreams into motion. timing lur-
self with castanete or plucked chords
from an old syn-r banjo. If only
she had a mirror! Hourly the
thought was with her—would she
ever dare venture forth unless she"
had first seen the thing- she had
achieved? Through‘the Baileysahe
knew there was a big room full of
mirrors at Grassmere. the unused
great house on the nearby hill.‘
Thus it happened that in a flood
of noon-light she saw herself a rose
of flame. afloat in a silver sea. Long
mirrors on every hand gave back
faithfully each wonder-pose—she
was striken almost as was Narcissus
with ioy in her own charm. Sud—
denly she felt ethereyes upon her-
a startled look in the mirror showed
her a tall sunburned man staring
hard at her. from an ornbush of
heavy draperies. With a little cry.
she hid her face in the cloud of
veils. asldng piteously. "Please!
Please go away! I have done no

"Instead. you hate done a great
kindness—made a picture for me I
shall refuse ever to forget." the man
said stepping forward. "I thought
first I must be dreaming—or else
that nymphs have not quite for-

prise. May I ask. how it happens?
And who you are?"
A minute Elspeth was voiceless—
then bravely. her voice coming
clearer with each word. she told
him nil—her name, her estate. her
hope of escape. at the end asking
humbly- to be forgiven her intrusion.
He had heard her in silence. but
with a face singularly mobile. As
she ended he «took her hands firmly.

How no You cnoes THE
norms:
The idea used to be—did it not?—
thet you could tell a country bump- ‘
kin by the way he crossed the road.
' But there are many confirmed city
dwellers who never learn how to
cross a road properly. Really it is
more -a matter of disposition and
training than anything else.
In big cities where there is tramc
regulation it is getting more‘ and
more to be considered bad form not
to wait for a hold-up in street traf-
fic before going across the road. To
be sure there are persons who, in
spite of strict regulations. pay no
attention to signsls. darting across
city streets whenever the way looks
clear. There are people. too. who
while waiting for trailic to give way,
insist on puttinglone foot down in
the gutter. feeling, apparently that
even this fraction of a. moment's
time is worth saving.
A great deal of needless anxiew
is sometimes felt by persons in busy
streets. They' look this way and
that. feel apprehensive where appre—
hension is not needed. It is as im-
portant. almost. for pedestrians to
know tradlc regulations as for mo-
torists or drivers. Once knowing
them. they then realise Just what to

Now although much is said about

During late summer French wom-
en adopted the high-crowned hat of
Directoire suggestion quite as uni—
formly as they had formerly worn
the small cloche. _nght away ques-
tion was raised in this country as
to whether the high-crowned hat
would ever be popular here. The
general conclusion seemed to be that
it would not, at least for the present.
The opinion is likewise expressed
that the shape is‘not suited to Amer-
ican faces. hence it will never be-
come accepted here-as it has been
in France.
But_ don't forget that the small
cloche prevailed in Paris for six
months or more before we Amer-
icans took to it. land the statement.
was'cven made that it wasn't suited
to American foods—that it” never
would be adopted here. .
Yet ‘ncver in the height of its
Paris run did the cloche meet with
more slavish acceptance than. it has
had in this country. and a. glance at
timetables and cases of the 2:1in
department in any department store
will show you that those who make
the vending of hats their business
etlll pin their faith in the cloche.
Obviously the majority of women
have not wearied of it.‘and the high
Directoire shapes will in America
remain the choice of the few for
months to come.
French Women Adopt the Trick e9
Carrying Fresh lower-a in the
Hand—and Call it mericsn.
EXT time you go through a pic-
ture gallery or look through a
volume of portraits, notice the
disposition of the women's hands.
You will doubtless come to the con-
ciusion that in most cases portrait
painters prefer to portray their sub-
Jeets holding something in their
hands.
The women like Medusa Reca-
'mier and “nuns Lisa. who can hold
their hands with perfect grace with
fingers quits relaxed. are rare in.
deed. Hence we find the charming
ladies of the portrait galleries hold-
. ing handkerchiefs, fans, the folds of
their skirts. a pet cat or dog. or idly
fingering the strands of a string of
pearls.
During the early nineteenth cen-
tury women were frequently por~
trayed holding small volumes in
their hands. Irrtfact. it was quite
the fashion to carry a book. provid-
ing it was not too large. Enormous
mufls in winter and -microscopic
fans in summer also gave occupa-
tion to fashionable hands in the
early nineteenth-century, and toward
the middle of the century every per-
fect lady seems to have carried a
lace-trimmed handkerchief. A little
.letor came the. trick of wearing ‘one'
glove and carrying the other. Borne-
times idle handsgare occupied with
the flowing ends of a scarf or shawl.
and occasionally a reticule simpli-

THE SPONGES WE USE
I" we only realized it. there is
I really a good deal of adven-
ture represented in the articles
of usefulness and luxury and
necessity about us.
Sponges, for instance. We see
them hanging in our bathrooms
and that's all we see. But they
must be brought‘ from the bot-
tom of the sea.’ Sponges do not
grow everywhere. and those from
some sections of the ocean's bed
are superior to others. The best
sponges usually come from the
deepest water. and the so-called
silk sponges, tram the Mediter.
rauean are from deep water. For
i
the deep-water sponges it is nec-
essary for divers to search, though
those from shallower water can be
gathered by means of long poles.
