And the jumper is smartest when

and quite snug at the hips. To
give smart proportions the skirt

The Turtle-neck Sweater Has Is-

the Woman Who lndulgss In

'iP‘. type of sweater which the
I young girl of today regards as
quite the newest
this line of Karment is really a
reversion to type. It is more like
the sweaters that were so called
when the word was still something
of a novelty than any of the popular
sweaters have been for many sca-
sons past. The original sweater
was. like this. essentially an ath-
lete‘s garment. He put it on as an
act of precaution after he had been
exe rising strenuously. it was slip-
pm on over the head and had a
collar that gave ample protection at
the neck.
After that the coat sweater came
in [is l~~inlt‘lhan of a novelty. and
was r-illed specially “coahswentcr”
until it nae no longer a matter of
cnmnir-zt l‘lut .i sweater should he
slit down the front. After that
when “Pf” were sweaters that
didn‘t so on like a coat we called
them "slip-one." as if it was some-
thing new under the sun for a
sweater to go on in this was. '
And now the swmtcr that is so
much like the original athlete's
garment we call a turtle-neck
sweater. which describes it admir-
ably. t'nder a fur coat it gives
really much better protection than
a coat sweater that buttons up the
front. and needs no scarf to make
up for lack of protection at the

WHEREDOYOUKEEP
YOURa-OTHES?
OMEN. those who 'in elm-d
to. take a great I of in-
terest nowadays ' the rs-
cop lcies for holding t) ii-thes.
On’the whole. cupbw.us seem to
be pretty generally liked—cupboards
properly titted with shelves and
drawers. But if you can‘t have the
right sort of wpbosrd built in your
houss. or made out of one already
there. than you can do very nicely
with chests of various sorts. They
go by all sorts of names. many
of them indicating chiifonier. but
changed sunlclsntly to indicate the
change of arrangement in the piece
of furniture itself. There are slides
and shelves in place of some of the
drawers. and the whole thing is
quite convenient. '
Some women have one cupboard
to hold headgear and footgssb—ths
stockings in sliding dram the
hats on shelves at the top. the sham
on shelves at the bottom. .‘
If you have only one closet for
your things. then a ahoebag of some
strong material placed against the
closet door will help matters. espe-
cially if its fitted with long pockets
for your umbrellas.
A shelf for bats in this closet is
necessary. unless you can spare s
big bureau drawer to hold them—
whlch is often a very good arrange-
ment.
In, the one closet. a rod to hold
hangers for all your clothes is pros--
tically essential. so convenient is it.
If the closet has a high ceiling. you
can have some hooks above the rod.
and on these hang shorter garments
—blouses. perhaps. on hangers.
You may find a big bag which
will hook over the rod in good recepo
tacle for sweaters. These should
not be hung from the rod or hang-
ers. as they stretch out of shape.
Again. the bureau drawer may be
the best solution of the matter.

he took refuge in fearing anything

Mrs. Hyems. the cook. who weighed

money for that. and felt the need
of educating him away from his

worlds below themselves.

sister with three girl—children. There
was very badly spoiled Helen. aged
thirteen, who sang a great deal——
mainly of love and loss. Winn and
Bennie. the girl twins. three years
younger. were tomboys of degree.

with a huge rag baby. of their own

forcibly. for a tour around the
world. And very soon they were
blissful—almost as much so as Tip

to go along and act as a sort of
glorified courier. "I know you'll like
to help me. old man.” be had said
artfully.
Tip had next to nothing. yet use

Sailing from the Golden Gate was
the tour's actual beginning. Since

Panic fell instantly upon Arch-

him. high. wide and fancy. but gave
the consent of silence. The Ventnor
girl made him glad he hsd done it

actly all the Rowfon girls were not.
By the time Honolulu came in
view. Tomboy Benny had so capti-
vated the aunts it was clear Arch
would have to choose between her
and the Lacey fortune. Helen
smiled and shrugged. saying: “It's
what. we came foo—the old duchesses
needed a chance to see their duty—
snd do it. as they are going to.
Portionless girls can‘t let any chance
slip.” She was havering between

nor agreed so hvartlly. her real opin-
ion stuck out between words. Until
he saw her thus s foil for Benny.
or the reverse—Arch had had no
definite impression of her, beyond
the surface of very good form. Now
his angry inner consciousness pro-
claimed: “If I have to bother mar-
rying somebody. why can‘t I be as
lucky as Tip?"
He who speculates thus is more
certainly lost than she who hesi-

much of the incident Helen sent a
message to her mother: “No mourn-

This because she knew the aunts in
conclsve had decided that Arch must
marry Benny out of hand—as only
a husband's authority could save
her. There was more than the div-
ing—a sultry sudden affair. devel-
oped in last night's perfumed dusk
—they were firm for giving Arch
this adorable wife, as they had been
firm ver since he was born for giv-
ing him the best. 80 they put the
case to him flatly. Re rushed 08
without a "Yes" or “Nay.” Miss
Ventnor wsyisid him—with or with-

as that the family trooped up to see
them start. Helen and Benny an-
nounced with a firmness that
brooked no argument. their intention
of going along.
Said Helen: "It's just the thing.
We shall learn all about tours and
be able to take other girls wher-
ever we think they ought to go—
becauuse we would like to. Thus
we shall do good and make money
out malice aforethought was never
clear. Her empathetic eyes drew
from him the tale of his dilemma.
Sho listened attentively. answering
with a small sighing smile: “i don‘t
see what you can do except to tell
them—you are engaged—elsewhere.”
Arch stared at her stricken dumb
for a minute. then whispered: “Who

young woman. “'l‘lp lost out two
