THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON T h u rs d a y , A u g u s t 26, 1937 BRIGHT STAR Smart Coats for Now and Early Fall B y M ary S ch um ann C opyright by M acrae S m ith Go, W N U S ervie» CHAPTER XII—Continued Hugh, on hia way out, planned that he would have his mother in vite Ellen for dinner very soon O r he would issue the invitation, call up and coax her a bit if she seemed unwilling. Not tonight—he had to work late tonight. And to morrow Mother had invited the John Renshaws for dinner, and the next night he had to go to the Wel lers’ . . . well, some time soon! Perhaps next week. But the Renshaws could not come the next night and Fluvanna went to a concert with Margery and Will. Hugh read the paper, looked at a trade journal, and at nine o’clock, feeling restless, decided on a long ramble. He took Rowdy, Kezia’s dog, with him, a wire-haired ter rier, which she could not keep in the apartment. Hugh circled the boulevard and the park twice, a walk of two or three miles, drawing in deep breaths of the early March air which was keen and cold, yet with a difference. He walked with a swinging step, submerged in his own reflections, Rowdy investigated lawns where lighted windows drained away into the shrubbery, then returned to him. Hugh did not know when he became conscious that a woman was walking half a block ahead of him. She must have turned out unnoticed from a side street. She walked rapidly, for it was a lonely place for a woman to be, the dark woods on her right, and on her left the houses set far back from the street. Young, slight, and faintly familiar. Suddenly she turned abruptly to her right and plunged into the wood. She walked swiftly and without uncertainty until she dis appeared. Hugh stood still. He had recog nized her by a forward movement of her shoulders—or thought he had. Why was she going into the She Was Up to Her Knees in the Water and Wading Out When He Reached Her. park at this time of night?—timid, sheltered Ellen. The perspiration broke out on his forehead as he remembered the small artificial lake . . . She was up to her knees in the water and wading out when he reached her. He lifted her in his arms and car ried her to a seat near the bank. She looked in his face dazedly. “ It’s Hugh? . . . Hugh?’ ’ Then in a low murmur: "Why did you come?” "Fate sent me, Ellen,” he an swered simply. He drew her head to his shoulder. "Because you were never meant to do that tiling.” She gave a long sighing breath that was more poignant than any sob, it held so much of tears un shed, of misery. “ H ugh," she whis pered, "it aches so here.” She laid her hand on her heart. “ I know.” A pause, then her voice again on thnt tremulous, respiratory note: “ Yes, you know.” She diooped against him shivering. Suddenly she sat up. The water dripped from her sodden clothes. She faced him, her wistful blue eyes startled and examining. She shook her head. "You are braver than I—stronger. I can’t—go on.” She began to cry, shuddering dry sobs, that licked his heart like flaming faggots. He drew her to her feet. "L e t us walk. No good sitting here in wet clothes after that ducking. We'll walk very fast—see, like this.” He led her out of the woods, un resisting. "Can you run? . . . Come, E l len, run with me as far as the next corner.” They ran for a long block, then slowed down to a walk. "Tell you what we ll do. You come over to my house and get off your wet clothes, put on some thing of Mother's. I ’ll fix you a nice hot drink—then you'll raid the ice By C H E R IE NICHOLAS box—get us a lunch! We’ll have a nice clubby evening—com e!” She put her hand over her eyes. "Whatever you say—I ’m so bewil dered.” His mother was not home when they arrived. He took her directly upstairs, turned on the hot water in the bath. “ Get in there, young lady, and be quick about it. 'T i l have changed and be pounding at your door in five minutes. He changed his clothes quickly, then ran down to the telephone and called the Pendletons. Gavin’s nervous, irritated voice answered. "Ellen is here with us.” "Y e s, yes,” Gavin stuttered. "She’s all right. We’ll keep her until tomorrow if you don’t mind.” "Wait—wait!” Gavin had.a colloquy with Lizzie, then muttered, “ Mother wants you to bring her home.” " I f I do I won’t answer for the consequences!” replied Hugh. There was a pause while Hugh heard Lizzie’s strident voice in op position. She evidently wanted to talk to him. "Keep her,” said G av in suddenly. “ See you tomorrow.” He foraged for everything he could And in the way of food, cheese and ham, olives, white and rye bread, fruit and cake. When Ellen appeared she shook her head. “ AU this to eat? . . . ” She nibbled, then began eating.

She stood at the door in her velvet evening wrap, surveying them with wonder and surprise. “ Ellen—E l len!” Ellen ran to her and hid her face on her shoulder. “ So glad you’ve come, darling,” murmured Fluvanna, caressing her. “ She’s going to stay all night— perhaps a week or two,” said Hugh. “ Nothing would make me hap pier—Ellen knows I would like to have her forever.” C H A P T E R X III Gavin took off his glasses and rubbed the place behind his ear where they had rested, then put them on again and blinked at Hugh. ’Lizzie will raise a fuss,” at length came his pronouncement. 'I’ve not talked to Mother yet, but she is so devoted to Ellen that think she can be persuaded to' go,” said Hugh. Six months in France and Italy would restore Ellen, Hugh had pleaded. His mother would ac company her, he thought. It would be well for his mother to have the change; the family difficulties—he had paused—had been hard on her. Gavin frowned. "B ut Lizzie----- ” “ You mean she’ll disapprove? You must make her see how im portant it is.

Consciously fashioned for nonchalance, these wool tweeds are indifferent to the hard knocks of traveling and they never know the meaning of wear and tear.

FEATURE VEILS IN MODELS FOR AUTUMN Veils which not only cover an en tire hat but the face and the shoul ders are the most striking feature of many advance fall models. The large mesh veil which is dot ted with chenille is the favored type for wear during the daytime, but there are some handsome lace veils to wear for more formal occasions. Most of these veils are circular in shape and are thrown over the high peaked crowns of the new hats so that their draped edges extend well over the shoulders. Sometimes they are placed over the head before the hat is put on so that the part which covers the crown of the head serves as a crown for the hat. Another type of veil, also circular in shape, has the center cut out so that the veil fits around a crown or edges the brim of a hat. It usually is worn to give a downward sweep at the back, frequently extending halfway to the waistline. 666 COLDS FEVER Sew-Your-Own loves nothing more than catering to mother’s f ir s t d a y LIQ U ID , TABLETS wardrobe needs.

These full skirts resemble the tarleton skirts worn by ballet dancers. The material is gathered into so many folds that the skirts swing out grace fully in wide sweeps with every movement of the body. These short skirts are far more practical than floor-length ones, which are likely to get trampled underfoot when dancing, and their width and fullness make them graceful as well as practical.
