Mr. Ffrench nd his niece were at breakfast, on the Sunday when the flrat account of the Georgia race reached Ffrenchwood. "You will take fresh coSee." Eratly waa saying, the little silver pot poised In her hand, when the door burst open and Dick hurried, actually hurried. In to the room. "He's won! He's got It!" he cried brandishing the morning newspaper "The-flrst time for an American car with an American diiyer. And how tie won It! He distanced every car on the track except the two b'g Ital ian and French machines Those he couldn't get, of course; but the Frenchman went out In the fourth hour with a broken valve. Then he waa set down for second place sec ond rlace. Emi!y. with every ether b!g car In the country entered. They ssy he drove like, .like I don't know what. A hundred and some mile an hour on the straight stretches." "Oh." Em!!y faltered, setting down the coffee-pot In her piate. He stori'ed her eagerly, half turning toward Mr. Ffrench, who had put on his plnce-nex to contemplate his nephew In stupefaction, not at hi statement, but at his condition. "Wait. In the last hour, the Ital tan ear lost Its chain and went over Into a ditch on a back stretch, three "Never Mind Me; miles from s doctor.

"It Is unusual to see you noticing business affairs, Dick; I might say unprecedented. I am glad If Bailey's new man Is cap able of hla work, at least I suppose tor the rest, that he could scarcely do less than take an Injured person to the hospital. Why are you putting sugar In my cup. Emily?" "I dont know," she acknowledged helplessly. "I dldnt mean to disturb any one,' said Dick, sulky and resentful. "It'll be a big thing though for our cars. Bailey says. I didn't know you dis liked Lestrsnge." Mr. Ffrench stiffened In bis chair. "I have not sufficient Interest In the man to dislike him." waa the cold re buke. "We will change the subject." Emily bent her head, remedying her mistake with the coffee. She compre hended that her uncle had conceived one of his strong, silent antipathies for the young manager, and she waa sorry. Sorry, although, remembering Bailey's unfortunate speech the night Lestrange's engagement was proposed, she was not surprised But she looked across to Pick sympathetica! ly. So sympathetically, that afte breakfast he followed her Into the li brary, the colored journals In his hand "What's the matter with the old gentleman this morning?" he com plained. "He wants the business to succeed, doesn't he? If he does, he ought to like what Lestrnnse Is do!n for It. What's the matter with him?" Emily shook back her yellow curls, turning her gare on him. "You might guess. Dickie. He Is lonely." "Lonely He!" Ail the feminine Impulse to defend flared up "Why not?" she exclaimed with pas slon. "Who haa he got? Who stands with him In his house? No wonder he can not bear the man who is hired to do what a Ffrench should be doing It Is not the racing driver he dis likes, but the manager. And do not you blame him. Pick Ffrench." Quite aghast, he stared after her as Let Us Read." she turned away to the nearest win dow. But presently be followed ber over, still holding the papers. "Don't you want to read about the race?" he ventured. Smiling, though ber lashes were damp, Emily accepted the peace offer ing. "Yes, please." "You're not angry? You know I'm a stupid chump sometimes; I don't mean It." This time she laughed outright "No; I am sorry I was cross. It Is I who would like to shirk my work. Never mind me; let us read." They did read, seated opposite each other In the broad window-seat and passing the sheets across as they fin ished them. Dick had not exagger ated. on the contrary he had not said enough. Lestrange and bis car were the focus of the hour's attention The daring, the reckless courage that risk ed life for victory, the generosity which could throw that victory away 'o aid a comrade, and lastly the deter mination snd skill whlrh had won the conquest after all the whole formed a feat too spectacular to escaje "pub llo hysteria. It was very doubtfil In deed whether Lestrange liked Ms Idol izing, but there was no escape. The two who read were young "It was a splendid fght," sighed Pick, w hen they dropped tie last pure "Yes," r..il!y assented. "When u fOT.c fcnek. whp you tee him, cue ll-ry ny c' rF'ttn'nt1on " "WI.MI I are Mrr,? M,y don't TO'I te'l 1 im yonrre'f ?"

Vaguely pujiled and dismayed. Dick sat looking at ber, not daring to question Kmlly kepi her word during the weeks that followed. Through pick and Bailey she beard of factory af fairs; of the sudden Increase of orders for the Mercury automobiles, tbe add ed prestige gained -I the publlo favor bestowed o r But she saw nothing of th. . ho was re sponsible tor all ti i lustead she went out more than ever before. Their social circle was too painfully exclusive to be large or gay. Three times week It was Mr. Ffrench's stately custom to visit tbe factory and tnspect It wltb Bailey. At other times Bailey came up to tbe house, where affairs were conducted. But in neither place did Mr. Ffrench ever come In contact wltb his man ager, during all the months while win ter waxed and waned again to spring "That's Bailey's doing." chuckled Dick, when Emily finally wondered aloud at the circumstance. "He Isnt going to risk losing Lestrange because our high and mighty uncle falls out with him. And It would be pretty likely to happen If they met. Le strange has a temper, you know, even If It doesn't stick out all over him like a hedgehog: and a dozen other companies would give money to get him." Emily nodded grav!y. It was a sun ny morning In the first of March, and the cousins were at the end of the old park surrounding Ffrenchwood. where they had strolled before breakfast. Mr. Bailey likes Mr Lest range." she commented. Likes him! He loves him. You know Lestrange lives with him; a bachelor household, cozy as gr gs " Just past here ran the road, beyond a hiKh cedar heile While he was speaking, tie lrr milar explosive re porta of a motor had sounded down the valley, unmistakable to those fa miliar with the testing of the stripped cars, and rapid'y approaching. Now. as Emily wouij have answered, the roar ruddeiily charged In character. an aiipaH'nir ncrlt's of explosion tnln 'ed with the grind of outraged ma chinery suddenly braked, and some cne shouted above the din The next Instant a hufie mass shot past the oth-jr-'deof the hedge and there followed a dull crash. "That's one of our men!" gasped Pick, and plunged headlong through the shrubbery. Paied momentarily. Emily stood, then caupht u; her skirts ard rrn aft er him She knew well enough what the teters of the cars risked "Pick"' she appealed. "Pick!" But It was not the wreck she antici pated that met her eyes as she came throueh the hedge. On the opposite side of the road a long low skeleton car was standing, one side lurched drunken!- down with two wheels In the gutter. Still In his seat, the driver was leaning over the steering-wheel, out of breath, but laughing a greeting to the astonished Pick. "A break In the steering gear." be declared, by way of explanation. "I told Bailey It was a weak point; now perhaps he'll believe me and strength en It." "Y'ou're not hurt." Pick Inferred. "I think she's not a tire gone. Find anything wrong. Rupert?" "Two tires off." said the laconlo mechanician. "Two funerals post poned. That was a pretty stop. Dar ling " "Very." coolly agreed Lestrange. rising and removing bis goggles. "What's the matter. Ffrench?" "Y'ou frightened us out of our five sense, that's all. Do you usually prac tise for races out here?" "T.'s?" repeated Estrange, and turn ing, saw the girt at the edge of the park. "Miss Ffrench. I beg your par don!" The swift chsnge In his tone, the ease of deference with which he bared bis head and. motor caps not being readily donned or doffed, so remained bareheaded In the bright sunlight, sav ored of the Continent "It Is too commonplace to say good morning." Emily replied, her color ris ing with ber smile. "I am very glad you escaped. But that Is common place, too. I'm afraid " "Every one la commonplace before breakfast." reassured her cousin. "Honestly, Lestrange, do you practice racing here?" "Hardly. I'm trying out the car; very car baa to go through that be fore It Is used Don't you know that we've recently secured from the local authorities a permit to run at any speed over this road between four o'clock and eight In the morning? I thought all the countryside know that." "But we have a regiment of men to test cars." Lestrsnge passed a caressing glance over the dingy-gray machine In Its state of bareness that suggested In decorum. "This ! my car, the one I'll race this spring and summer. No one drives It but me. Besides, I have to have some diversion." He stepped to the ground with the last word, and went sround to where Rupert wss on his knees beside the machine. "Can you fix It here?" he demanded. "Not precisely," was the drawled re ply. "Back to camp for It with horse In front" "All light. Youll have to walk down and get a car from Mr. Bailey to tow It home."

A fatuous argument he characterized as "like a chorus girl's tights, wblcb touch every point and cover nothing." When Mr. Thomas was rehearsing "Tbe Witch Ing Hour," one of tbe management stopped the players, and, turning to the author, remarked: "I think this would he good place for some witty dialogue."

FAQS FEMTO mid FANCIES MVOMEN A It IS. There I always a period P when the writer of fashions wander about lu a veritable mate of perplexity, hesitating to say what will be the best style or what will not. On one side tney near rumors of sensational and arasuc changes: on Iho other that the changes will be scarcely noticeable, nd will consist merely of modifica tions of what Is the present mode. As a matter of fact, during that pain ful time nobody really knows, and it la not until the autumn races com mence In Paris and the Parisians, who are responsible, for most of the fashions, return that one can speaa wind and weuther society has boen moment has arrived, for In spite of wind and weather society! has been attending the races at Chatitllly for a week or more, and on Sunday the first of the large meetings will be gin at Longchiunp Now we can an talk as glibly as we please, for once things are worn the agony Is over. The changes, for of course there are always these changes to be noted. that have evidently come to stay, are by no meaus sensational nor drastic, but they are Improvements and In some cases marked one. The first Is that longer skirts are sure and cer tain, and the secoud I the dccuiej differences In the material that are being used Long, Slim Look Retained. Fortunately, the long fklit I not colr.g to appear for street frocks, but only for afternoon t:oii and for those Intended fur evening wear. There la no doubt but wh.it these are far prettier and mor. graceful than the much abbreviated sktrt that have been generally worn for all occasions, even the most Informal. Some of these newest ones are so little on the ground that one would hardly notice that they train, hut they fall with Ju.-t the least bit of flare about their lower edj;e and, are possl bly an Inch on the floor Others, aft ernoon, as well us evening gowns, show decided trains, some being small and pointed, other fairly long and showing a more generous allowance of material In ttwlr sweeping lines None of them has the drawn In ap pearance of the trained skirt of a season or more ao. for If the skirt Is narrow the front and side are In varlubly slightly lifted to display a petticoat beneath, or there are cun ning little lace plalMiiK that are In sertion In the bottom of the skirt to give It extra fullness. In this man ner the long, slim look that women have found to be so becoming Is still retained, but with this they have greater freedom of movement and have lost that constrained walk that was a necessity with the mode of 1911. Materials are the Important things now, for It Is principally by these that the latest styles can be determined. The great novelty Is In the employ ment of all sorts of brocaded effects for every kind of costume, from street suits to gorgeous ball and dining toilets. They consist of broche silks, figured silks, and satins, stamped vel vet and matelasse velvet, plunh that haa designs sprinkled over Its sur face, ribbed silks that are also fig ured (the effect of this being un usual, and of heavy satin damask with marvelous patterns of conven tional flowers or birds covering them. In addition to being brocaded or fig ured, some of these frbrlca are given the appearance of being qulrred. and this Is used for petticoats that ap pear beneath satin gowns or for parts of draperies that are only slightly lift ad up. Fabrics More Than Sumptuous. All these stuffs are remarkably rich In appearance, and for those who thought the height of luxury In wom an's dress had been already reached last season the output of fabrics this year would be a revelation. Sumptu ous Is the only word that nearly de scribes them, but even this falls short of tbe mark. Along tbe same line as the mate rials for dresses come the stuffs that are being shown for evening cloaks and wraps, with this difference, that the latter are frequently combined with silver and gold effects. Thus satin backgrounds show gold threads woven Into them and over this a stunning de sign done In velvet or plush, or there are ribbed silks which show every other' cord In gold or silver tinsel, which may be also brocaded In dull colors or In black or white, both be ing In velvet Materials for Prsctlcal Use. In addition to all these silk and satin materials there Is a great va riety of others to be seen which are Intended for more practical use. These) Includo. first and foremost, vel vets, chiffon, and otherwise, which later In the season will undoubtedly take the place of many of the satin brocade now being worn for the street, velour de lalnes, which are now to bo had having plain surfaces, and thosn ribbed and striped and which have a flrilah that greatly re sembles velvet camel's hair, which Is being mridi) up Into tailor coatumes In place of satin; eponge, of an extra-1 Ribbons Must Bs Corgeous. The ribbons to be used this season must be classed ai splendid, for tlx Ir royal hues and gorgeous motif are un like anything which lias been display ed so many years. One In blue vel vet, roses, embossed, Is $10 SO a yard. This one Is sash width, and tha blue Is tha misty dawn blue which har monizes with sny attire, and can be used for evening or day wear. An other In rose pattern and the same width I In gold or black In brocade weav.

Is heavy enough for automobile, coals and I used for them, having the ppoarance of the rough and ready to wear that Is es pecially attractive for this purpose. It Is always a problem to say what Is to be tha color of the season, but If a choice must be made then one would say that for street and much day Unto wear purple and the shades of prune, amethyst, and dark mauve lake the preference. Certainly for hats purple Is much to the fore, for these are being worn for every kind of occasion and In every shape and style. Bed for street uso Is also bar Ing Its lulling, and some, of the tailor frocks that are being shown by the great dressmakers are of !hl color and In really dazsllng shades. Com bined with dark furs or with some of the shade of fox, these red cos tumes are lovely and give a note of change among the niauy dull tlnta worn. Black Tailored ult Iverywhtre. Klue In fsded tone I more than fashionable for house dresse. and for evening wear there ar being shown some beautiful combinations or bronie and of this shade with gold or amber. For the conservative woman black Is always "the thing." and as alwava this will be worn more than any color no matter what fashion or the dressmaker will decree. Black tailored suits are to be seen every where, sometimes brightened with a touch of color on collar, cuffs and walstcottt. but fruuently with noth ing more than a band of fur at the neck and a lace Jabot with mffles In the sleeves to match. Black corn- ..i.-V. blned with gray does not sound ef fective, but when us. d by an artist and In Just the proper degree It I one of the popular combination. Illack camel's hair costumes trimmed with chinchilla are exceedingly smart, and tha same material combined with chinchilla, plush, and a touch of bril liant flame color to give It character. Is ravtshlngly pretty. Skirts Still Narrow. Now comes the question of the tight or nontlght skirt F.arly In the fall we were told that the skirt of narrow dimensions was doomed and that the day of plaits, drsperles. and of all sorts of looped and. panlcred effect was at hand. This may be true of tbe future, but for the present the skirt of narrow width and straight line Is the fashion. There are draped skirts for the street, but the drspery Is a mere pretense, there Is so little of It, and what there Is Is so artfully adjusted that It Is scarcely to be seen. Not that the skirts are what Is known as "hobble," but they are close and are as narrow still about their lower edges ss they can be worn. There Is a distinct partiality for Jet for all beaded materials used In com binations for evening gowns. The Jet generally takes the form of em broidery or It Is used In outline on brocaded stuff. Jet fringe Is charm ing on frocks of white chiffon or whit satin, and It Is frequently seen bor dering tunics or on the ends of sash es that are draped on to trained skirts. Some elaborate evening gowns have been Been that are whol ly beaded, this appearing on the bod Ices or In white borderlngs on skirts or oversklrts. Long Coat. For serge or cloth the model Illus trated Is well suited; It Is loose fit ting and has the side from shoulder to halfway down skirt part set on with wrapped seams; these have tabs cut In with them at the waist linn, a button Is sewn In the rounded end of each tab.
