be celluloid in gay and attractive
colors. There is a little pendant
horny on a cord, and a Dutch boy in
gay colors that likewise hangs from
a cord to go about someylittlc girl's

The one exception that seems to
be made to the rule against precious
stones for children is in favor of
pearls. Diminutive necklaces of
sn’iall pearls are considered quite
appropriate for little girls in their
very best party clothes and as an

“.l‘ HARIS little but. neat and
unbecoming. a complexion
keyed high, and hands and
feet so. trim and attractive that
there is no’fault to be found with
them at all. and there you have an
every-day silhouette from Paris."
So writes—s. visitor in Paris. who
made concerning the French woman:
"She has set up a stardord» of
smartnese which it is hard for
women of other nations to live up
to.'though some cf them do. She
is the product of trained taste. per-
haps a. little over-trained some-
times. but wonderful to behold." .‘
The words that arc most interest-
ing about this comment are “neat
and unbecoming." One wonders
how many American women would
proceed to choose a hat that gained
in smartness and neatness while ’it
lost out in becomingness. Often.
you know. colors thataresmart are
unbecoming and sometimes p. style
of frock or suit that is most becom-
‘ lng happens to be so out of fashion
as to appear positively dowdy. But
in favor of. .Smartness. neatness,
while American women more usu-
ally select firstothat which is becom-
ing and after that strive to produce
the effect which ‘s neat and smart.

‘ THE GIRL wuo
LOOKED BACK
By MEL moms .

that had just arrived. Her
clear gray eyes were filled with
dread as she put it away in her desk
and leaned back in the chair. her
rounded chin cupped» in one my
palm. ‘ r .. y
So Billy Leasing was coming home
at last—and he evidently expected to
come straight to Avon and claim her ,,
as his betrothed. She opened a se-
cret drawer in; the desk and took
out a little box which conthined a
splendid diamond solitaire ring. She
had taken it from her engagement
finger six months ago. when she first
inst Lawrence Batten. and now
there was luit one thing that stood
between her engagement to Law-
rence and the return of the ring to
Billy.
That onelhlng was the absence of
Billy himself in South America. She
could not write the bitter truth to
him—she could not bear to have him
receive bad news in the wilderness
of the tropics, where he and other
brave men were conquering the Jun~
glee with marvellous feats of engi-
neering~she had received the ring“
tram Billy's hands. and she must
have the courage to give him back
the ring and face him. and give him
back his great love. It was a hard
duty to perform. but when Lawrence
was near. with his persuasive voice.
it seemed easy to enlighten Billy.
But now. With Billy so near—just
arrived in New York after two years
absence. and ’ right down to
Avon that very n ht!
"I must telephone Lawrence not
to come tonight." she thought, and
she crossed the room to the ins —
merit. After that was done. she to t.
better. There was something mag—
ical in Lawrence'- deep vibrant
voice, but there was something lack-
ing. She chided herself for mining
the. old tender confidence that Billy
had inspired—of course, she had
known Billy practically all her life.
and their love had been the natural
outcome'of their mutual infection.
"It isn’t real love." she told her-
self. impatiently. when she felt doubt
confusing her Judgment: "it is more
like cousinly affection. nothing else."
She went to tell her mother that
Billy Lansing would be there in time
for dinner. >.
“I am glad. dear." said Mrs. Joy;
"Billy is a Splendid boy. and he has
nude a great'nams for himself in
’ the engineering world." «
“So dad says." remarked Rose in

as they walked in the garden after

"But 'I am not lovely in spirit,
Billy dear." said the girl. "1—1-
am a traitor to you."
He tlinched. and swung about to
face her in the bright, moonlight.
I!" was ielning against the old fence
that separated garden and orchard.
"What do you mean. Rose?"
“.1 thought—l believed truly. that
i would always care as much—" she
(altered. and tears came into her
eyes.
“Don't cry about me, dear. i don’t
want any woman to shed tears about
me unless she belong to nae-and if
I have lost your love—why. we don't
belong." he said tensely.
"I know it—but I seem to care in
just the same way as ever—but i
am afraid that it is not‘ the real
way—3’
“You have learned to love some-
one else. Rose?" he asked grimly.
She nodded speechlesely. and held
gout the gleaming ring.
‘ lie took it and dropped it into his
{pocket “Who is it?" he asked curi-
l ousli’.
"His name is Batten—Lawrence
Batten." She did not feel so Joyous-
ly free as she had anticipated. Bills-
had taken it quietly—perhaps he
was glad—maybe there was anothei
giri— '
“Batten—Larry Batten? Never
heard of him. W‘ell. dear. don‘t shed
tears over me." he managed to smile
at her as he patted her shoulder
"I’ll try to like this Batten man—
after awhile: be as happy as you
can. Rosie—l believe 1’“ go in and
have a pipe with your father before
bedtime. I must be up early and
away—making another buying trip
for supplies—going back—next boat.“
"Why. Billy. I thought you wen
home for good!" she cried. and h
the cry was a sudden terror of 1hr
phantom girl who might be drawing
Billy” book to South America-domi-
beautiful dark-eyed maiden. ‘
"Run along to the house. :
I'll follow you in a minute." told
her. and added: "Be bani”. dour
always."
Rose walked slowly along the path
among her namesakes. She could
think only of Billy—Lawrence had
dropped into strange obscurity.
