"I suppose you are right about sending for the specialist.’ Mr. It. Stephen Carrikc, who drop ped in at eight oelock with the casual air of one making an evening call, was as human as he was dis tinguished. He listened patiently to Hamilton’s preliminary recital, asked a few questions and made a thorough examinations of hi» patient in a manner that wus not too im pressive. He left Miss Parsons very much encouraged -they had decided to adotp the hotel name for her bu) when he found himself alone with Hamilton in the hotel writing- room hi» manner was less care-free. "It’s a case one can’t safely make any predictions about,’ he confessed “If we knew what had caused the condition or what the patient’s re cent id had been, we could do some guessing ami one man» guess would be about as good as another’s. "Her general health seems to be good. She’s a highstrung, tempera mental creature, but she has dignity und poise, even in this condition, and I'd wager she’s kept herself pretty well in hand all her life. I'm guessing that some big jolt caused this something that ju.»l about sent her off her head.’ On the whole, their talk left the Good Samaritan glad he had shared his responsibilities; and later, in Miss Parson's upstair’» sitting-room he gave a carefully edited report of Carrick’s conclusions. “He thinks as I do,” he robustly announced, “that it’s merely a tem porary matter. He told you that, himself. Your memory may return any minute, or it may not come back for some time possibly not for sev eral days,” he optimistically added, observing the quick change in her expression. “As I expected, he wants a nurse SECOND INSTALLMENT seruwls.

She wa» very «light and girlish, and in the rather dim room the light of a gold-shaded bulb near her gave bronzy-tinted hair the ef- fecf of a halo around her small head.

(Continued Next Week) (Continued Next Wleek) Very Latests Sleeves are cast for a far more important role in the play of fashion this season than they have been for many years. They are no longer the negligible quantity that they had to remain so long as skirts were ex tremely short. There would have been something absurdly top-heavy about a knee-length dress provided with sleeves of importance. The revival of interest in slender waistline has made it desirable to P,» I • ♦’ ■ SB ■ LJ give some enthasis to the shoulders. Sleeveless dresses are provided with shoulder capes or cape collars or are worn with scarfs arranged to give | this desirable shoulder breadth. ! Some women st | i refer the sleev- l less frock for sport wear but the ! very short shoulder sleeve is mak ing rapid headway as a rival. Short puffed sleeves and short cap sleeves no longer look old fashioned. It is a fairly safe prediction to make—that if skirts become fuller, sleeves will also become broader. The task of giving an up-to-date look to the sleeveless dress is not a particularly difficult one. Cape collars of contrasting material—chif fon. georgette, or fine lingerie—may be added. Or you may set flowing or puffed sleeves of chiffon or other light fabric into the armholes of the sleeveless dress. The sketch shows a new spring dress made wilh removable sleeves of lace to match the collar. ------- -o-------- I Understand your husband can’t meet his creditors." “I dont believe he wants to, par ticularly."

The idea that thinning fruits will overcome what is known as the al ternate hearing habit is incorrect says the Oregon Experiment station. Alternate hearing is frequently a varietal characteristic, which seems to be only slightly modified by any thing the grower can do.
