CHAPTER IV.
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

"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

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

Vaguely pujiled and dismayed.

to question

weeks that followed. Through pick

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

Pick, and plunged headlong through

"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

"Y'ou're not hurt." Pick Inferred.
"I think she's not a tire gone.

"Two tires off." said the laconlo
mechanician. "Two funerals post

"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

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

"All light. Youll have to walk
down and get a car from Mr. Bailey
to tow It home."

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

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

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

frocks that are being shown by the
great dressmakers are of !hl color

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

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
