They did not know each other. Oc
casionally he caught gllmpBea of the

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

want to ask you.” she hesitated,
"whether It Is considered proper In

He smiled.
"I am not a book on

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

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

There was a

transformation of himself Into a

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.

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.

Dressmakers h a v e

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

flounces are of lace or In some In

er contrast Is desired sable or seal

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

place of the low neck and short sleeves,

these and other materials as well are
used In the theater gown, while It Is

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

The velvet gowns this winter are
to be extremely smart and original.

such a lot of material to be made

new colors In velvet, In blue, purple,

only In choffon velvet, but In the best

That a velvet gown should be Includ

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

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-

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.

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

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
