IN DEFERENCE TO MRS. GRUNDY By TEMPLE IH1U, b j BAILEY L ll«T »r j P M . ) On on« aide of the hall Dorla Wright practiced acalea In the won derful rolce that waa, aome day, to •atonlah the multitude. On the other aide of the hall Philip Wentworth painted picture« and dreamed dreama of fame. Now and then at twilight the artlat would lay down hla bruah and lie- ten to the alnger. It waa at thla time that «he allowed herself a reat from the monotony of her work, and Bang. They did not know each other. Oc casionally he caught gllmpBea of the alender figure In black, and once ahe had aald "Good morning" aa she paaaed him on the atepa. She had raised a barrier of reaerre, however, agalnat any cloaer acquaintance, and he had been forced to content him self with the Bound of her voice when she sang. Aa the summer came on he worked little. He waa not a painter of sum mer acenea: he choae rather the gray days of the fall and of winter, and waa at hla beat with mist and rain effects and the dreary everyday life of the streets. Perhaps It waa becauae hla subjects were ao somber that he needed the Joy and freshness of her young voice. A t any rate, he learned to depend upon It and to miss It when she went away. So much did he miss her dur ing her two months’ vacation that his greeting was Involuntary as he met her on the stairs. "I am so glad to see you back." She hesitated and stopped. There was a little flush on her cheeks. "It aems good to be here,” ahe said. “ I missed your song,” he told her; “It waa as If a bird had flown away." After that they established a good comradeship which limited Itself to the greeting on the stairway, an ex change of the dally paper, or a short walk together to and from the car. Further than that she would not let him go. She never asked him to her room nor accepted an Invitation. He learned, however, that she was a little country maid, whose wonderful voice had attracted the attention of those who knew, and she had come to the city to win for hernelf fame and fortune. As yet ahe was unspoiled, but he, knowing the world, feared for her future. Gradually he assumed a protective attitude toward her. Without her knowledge he waiched over her. When her lessons kept her late at night, he managed to be near her as she went through the lonely streets. A t last he knew that he loved her, that she was the one thing that made bright hla lonely life. He did not tell her, for he felt that there could be aa yet no answering response, but he dedicated himself to a watchfulness which should shield her from harm. Gradually she began to turn to Aim for advice; she seemed to feel Instinctively a security In his friendship. One night she rapped timidly at his door. When he opened It he saw a vision In soft shining white. "I am Invited," Doris explained, "to the opera and afterward to supper. I want to ask you.” she hesitated, "whether It Is considered proper In the city for a girl to go to a late sup per unchaperoned?" He smiled. "I am not a book on etiquette," he told her, “ and In Bo hemian circles almost anything passes—but for you— I wish you would ask aome older woman friend to go." "But I haven't any woman friend." she satd. "I should have to stay at home." "Would that be so hard?" he ques tioned. "I have so little fun.” Her eyes were wlstfuL “ I am young, you know. “ Yes, It's hard," he considered a moment, and then laughed. “ I'll pro vide a chaperon If you say so." "Who?" she demanded. "Go back to your room," he said, "and wait In a few minutes I'll bring the lady." In every studio there are properties o f all kinds. It happened that a few nionths before he had painted a pic ture of a Venetian grande dame. The gown In which he had costumed his model waa one that he had picked up abroad, of dull green velvet with a broad lace collar. He waa of slender build, and when he had tried It on tt fitted him prefectly. There was a gray wig In an old trunk and the transformation of himself Into a stately lady was complete. If the rosea In bis cheeks came out of his paint box, what then ? He was not the only old lady who did not depend upon nature for her color. When Doris saw him she gave him a little startled cry. "Why, where did Mr Wentworth And you?" she de manded. His voice, answering her, gave ner the key to the situation, and shs broke Into ripples of laughter. "How did jou manage It so well?” she questioned. "I used tp play girls’ parts In the 'Paint and Powder club' at home, he stated. Then he broke In a whin ing falsetto. “ Does that sound like an old lady?” Again sne went off Into gales of laughter, but ended with a serious question: "Shall I really be better chaperoned by two men than by one?" His answer waa given In his own voice, deep with emotion. "I shall watch over you as carefully as your Her Revenge By N E L L I E C.

"I should have been so frightened If I had not had you tonight.” “ I wish I might take care of you always,” Wentworth said, and hav ing admitted that much he was car ried away and found himself pleading hla case earnestly. It was a strange scene, but so seri ous were they that they did not real ise the Incongruity. It was only as Doris said "Y es” that the strangeness of It struck her. "But I cannot marry my chaperon," she protested and laughed. The old lady In the velvet gown flung off her gray wig and showed the crop of dark curls that crowned Wentworth'B handsome head. “ I have masqueraded long enough In' defer ence to Mrs. Grundy," he said, "but now answer me, Doris, will you marry me?” And still with laughter in her eyes she answered "Yes.” Reward of Merit. The motor car was obstinate. It wouldn’t budge. Industriously, the man In waterproof cap and goggles turned the crank handle; but without result He turned and turned and turned.

"Thank you, my man—thank you!" he murmured. "It’s the only street or gan I ever saw that didn't send me nearly deaf with Its noise! You de serve a copper!"—Answers. »am Hetty Jerkily. "I think perhaps you could reach him at bis office«" "Thank you very much, but I'm afraid I shan’t have time to get by there. I'm trying to catch that 9:30 train south. I very carelessly walked ofT with his topcoat last night W’e were at the club together, and I left first, taking his coat, which Is the counterpart of mine, with me. If you would be good enough to let him know that I have left bis at the club and ask him to forward mine to At lanta I should be greatly obliged." Betty kept down her exhilaration long enough to assure him that she "would be delighted.” then turned and re-entered the room In a tumult of emotions. The first thing she did was to ring up Preston's office. He waa not there. He was not at home, either, and as time passed and there came no answering call, she went wearily to bed and spent a dazed night. The following morning she read In the paper that the Third regiment would leave Immediately for the Phil ippines Instead of two weeks hence, as originally ordered. She quitted the breakfast table, leaving hor food untasted. What If he had already gone and she would never see him again? A little sob rose In her throat and choked her. All at once the possibility became a reality, and she began to wring her hands. She had sent him to his death—broken her own heart and his—acted the part of a despicable wretch. She went Into the morning room and began to straighten the books and papers. But the atmosphere suf focated her and she hurried out to the garden to cut fresh roses for tha vases. The tears were falling fast as she bent to snip the flaming Jacque minots from the bush, when suddenly she felt the pressure of warm palms over her bulging eyes. Startled, she turned and Preston caught her In his arms. “ W e’re sailing at three,” he said, “ and I couldn't endure the thought of going so far without making one more attempt. You— you'll not refuse to tell me good-by, Betty? It—It may be the last time we'll ever meet.” Betty’s roses dropped in a crimson shower to the ground. When she could find her voice, she said tremu lously: "No, I shall not tell you good by, Tom, I—I can’t." Preston's arms fell limp at his sides. The light died out of hts face. He looked down for a moment and drew her glance to his. Their eyes merged; hers, tentative, radiant; his. puzzled, deepening with shadows. Betty's brave glance flickered beneath the pleading tenderness of his. Preston's question hung mute upon his lips. “ I have other plans," she whis pered with her cheek against his sleeve. "I mean to be revenged. Con sequently, I shall go with you.” Regardless of possible passers-by, Preston drew her to his arms. Afterward, she told him about the coats. Strange Lizard. Living specimens of a strange frilled lizard of Australia have been trans ported to England, where photography has most convincingly proved the truth of the legend that these animals, which sometimes attain a length of three feet, are In the habit of running about erect on their hind legs. The lizards are furnished wl’ h a broad frill, or collar, round the neck, which lies folded un less the :.n1mal Is threatened. In that case It Immediately spreads its frill like a suddenly opened umbrella to frighten off the enemy. When running on Its hind legs, with Its long tall swinging In the air, It presents an Irre sistibly ludicrous appearance.

HE fashion for short skirts continues to be decreed, and even the most expensive materials are made In this style, but that the fashion will last Is not to be too strongly relied upon. Dressmakers h a v e reached a marvel lous proficiency In their art, when they can turn out short- skirted gowns made on such becoming lines as are to be seen today, but the smartest short skirt ever made lacks the grace and charm of one that has a train, even though It be merely a short one, writes A. T. Ashmore In the New York Herald. Flounced skirts of lace and chiffon are on the old picture order, with a narrow edge of ermine heading each flounce, and the long coat la edged with ermine to match. The body of the gown, coat and skirt Is of the chiffon or voile de sole, while the flounces are of lace or In some In stances the entire gown Is of lace and the flounces are edged with plaltlngs of fine net. The ermine bands. In contrast with the lace and net. show up most effectively, but If a still great er contrast Is desired sable or seal skin Is substituted for the ermine. The fashion of wearing low cut gowns at the restaurant and theater Is universally accepted as correct, but there are many conservative Individu als who still prefer the gowns with the transparent yoke and collar. There Is no difference In the material nor In deed In the general style, only that In place of the low neck and short sleeves, exaggeratedly Bhort, there Is the trans parent net or finest lace covering for neck and arms. Lace and satin, voile de sole and satin finished cloth— all these and other materials as well are used In the theater gown, while It Is a question to be decided by the Indi vidual whether there shall be a lot of elaborate trimming or merely plain draped folds. Costly Individuality. The woman who does not know the dress of the present day cannot un derstand why such high prlceB are often asked for the gown of silk or satin which haa little or no trimming but which owes Its charm and style entirely to Its beauty of line and to some elusive quality of Individuality. When there are bands of embroidery or embroidered tunics and overskirts, then It Is not difficult to realize why the cost Is so great, but these severe ly plain gowns are hard to understand until the beauty of line Is realized. Just at the moment It must be ad mitted that beauty of line Is not so evident as usual, but the best dress makers, the artists In their profession, refuse to be daunted by the models that are so pronounced and eccentric and so entirely at variance with good taste, and Bucceed In turning out smart, becoming and graceful gowns that bear the hallmark of the latest design, without a single blemish of too scant a skirt, too high a waist band or too lavish an amount of trim ming. The velvet gowns this winter are to be extremely smart and original. The smartest are remarkably simple In design, rather on the order of those worn for the last few seasons by very young girls. The skirt Is short enough to clear the ground, gathered Into the waist band and with broad band around the lower part of the skirt The waist with some little fulness, is Joined to the skirt under a cording or piping of velvet. A silk or satin belt with long sash ends and a wide lace collar and cuffs complete the only trimming In description It may seem as though a gathered vel vet skirt would be clumsy and unbe coming to the figure, but be It remem bered that the skirt, while not scant. Is cut so narrow that there Is not such a lot of material to be made way with around the waist, and the lines of the skirt, being quite straight up and down, give an effect of slen derness that makes even a stout per son look well. Fascinating are the new colors In velvet, In blue, purple, dust brown, green and red, and not only In choffon velvet, but In the best qualities of velveteen and corduroy. That a velvet gown should be Includ ed In the winter outfit Is quite evident. From an economical standpoint there Is nothing more practical, for the gown In Itself Is appropriate for re ception or theater, and with coat to match Is the smartest of street cos tumes. For Afternoon and Evening. Gowns for afternoon and evening made of silk cloth— meaning the soft finish which Is so becoming and ef fective— are this season made up most elaborately. It Is not the same quali ty as Is used for the street costume, Is lighter In weight and Is attractive combined with satin or velvet. Cash- mere de sole or silk cashmere Is the most fashionable of all, and In an odd shade of green. Nattier blue and a dull wood color Is In great demand. Then black Is made up In most effect ive fashion combined with ecru or cream lace, while If a light color Is preferred there are lighter shades of the colors already mentioned or one of the many different tones of white. The oyster white, which has the gray ish tone, Is very smart, and this is embroidered In gray, and also has touches of black to give the so popu lar note of contrast. A becoming shade of pinkish mauve Is sometimes used In preference to black, but the latter Is really smarter. Draped effects are easily obtained with these soft-finish cloths, and an endless variety Is to be noticed In the different models. It Is a mistake to attempt the too classical draperies; they are not practical, and In fact are not becoming to the average wom an and are most difficult to attain to. Not one dressmaker in a hundred un derstands the art of becoming draper ies, and when she attempts to drape a modern figure with the classical draperies copied from some ancient piece of statuary the result Is most ludicrous.

It « The pastoral life of the Palestlnt peasant has always been a subject ol Interest and a pleasant study. The shepherd Is seen at bis best In the spring, when he has the care of both sheep and lambs and when all hie thoughts are centered on his seeming ly Indolent occupation. Work for the shepherd begins In earnest with the lambing season, which commences early In January and continues for two or three months. During that time tt Is no unusual sight to see the shepherd with sev eral newly born lambs or kids stored away In the capacious folds of hla bosom and the mothers In close attend ance. i When heavy storms of snow or rain come on the shelter of some cave has to be sought and a careful watch against the attacks of wild animals kept. This watchfulness Is not re laxed on a fine day, and the long hours on the hillsides or plains are whiled away In making music on the reed lute, of which every shepherd Is the maker and player. The music Is an assurance to the sheep that the shepherd Is on the alert. Let the music cease for any length of time and the flock will stop grazing and look around for their caretaker and leader. At night the sheep are folded around the village or camp to which they belong. The fold Is a large enclosure, the wall of which Is made up of good sized stones piled one on another. There Is only one entrance, which Is narrow, for the sheep as they enter have to “ pass under the rod” so that the owner may count them and see that none are missing. To find good pasture and a qnlet resting place Is the dally duty of the shepherd, and In the long summer days the flock rests during the heat by some stream or under the shadow of a great rock. Each sheep has Its name, to which It will respond on be ing called by Its keeper. In southern Palestine the flocks are tended by girls and women, but In other parts by youths and men. The “ Hobble” Band. The band around the bottom of the skirt is to remain In fashion for a while longer, but Its width Is depend ent entirely upon what is becoming to each individual. It. may be so wide as to half cover the skirt or it may be so narrow as to look almost like a turned over hem. Oddly enough, two bands are not nearly so effective as the one, even if only of narrow width, and the wide band does not cut the lines of the figure If put on properly and If it Is narrower than the upper part of the sklrL This Is not to recommend the exaggeratedly tled-ln Bklrt, which could never be made becoming, only to Indicate how the fashion can be carried out In such a modified degree as to Insure Its popularity for a time and to mark a contrast In the plain straight skirt of last winter.
