Mr. Gryce had respect for this outburst.

“It was a cheerful letter Such a one

Mr. Gryce recalled the Incongruities,
the inconsistencies and ev» 11 the surpris.ng [
contradictions which had often marked ; 1
the conduct of men and women, hi his 1
length) experience with the strange, the 1
sudden, and the tragic things of life, and
slightly shook his head. Hr pitied Mr (

might not be able to prove it, but it .
was nevertheless true, and this broken f

nothing of this, and was very patient with (
the further arguments the other advanced 1
to prove his point and the lofty character (
of the girl, to whom, misled by appear- |

Sweetwater from the dining room where

“I m sorry that I've hern able to do so

The coroner darted him a quick look.

The detective frowned at his hands

shaking his bran, replied:

chosen from those before him “disturbs
the most equable natures When it en
ters hr a factor, we can expect anything--

dently was much attached to her corre

And Dr. Heath read:

"A threat ’"
’The words sprang from Sweetwater,
and were evidently involuntary. Dr.
Heath paid no notice, but Mr. Gryce. in
shifting Ids hands on his cane top, gave
them a sidelong look which was not with
out a hint of fresh interest in a case con
cerning which he had believed himself to
have said his last word.
"It Is the only letter of*them all which
conveys anything like a reproach,” pro
ceeded the coroner "I’he rest are ardent

Fiber Muffs and Scarfs
By OLIVETTE.
< T''O take one kind of material and make some things en
tirely different out of it seems to be the great ambition
of the modern fashion artist. "Never be what you is,
just seem what you ain’t,” to paraphrase a popular song.
This muff which looks so furry is not of fur. but braid; and
the braid which is so silky and fine isn’t silk; it’s made of
woodpulp. There, 1 hope that’s complicated enough for you.
It shows how very hard our fashion artists do try to please.
Silk braid is going to be tremendously popular this season.
And you know you can make anything mil of silk braid. Evon
false bail Many women are wearing switches of this silk hair,
which is over so much more hygienic than ordinary false hair
and can not be told from the real article.
The muff, as you see. is very elaborate, with long streamers
and fringe of silk. The fact that the braid is made of wood
pulp and fiber makes it less expensive than the real kind and
will aid so popularize it.
The last of the summer races have taken place at Long
champs; so the fashions for early fall are definitely settled.
They include the draped and slightly wide skirt, short jackets
of contrasting color, usually lighter than the skirj malerial.
The latest jacket is a kind of sack coat which is very smart
and can be worn with the short pleated skirts. These skirts
retain their narrow' lines, despite the pleats, as the latter are
sewn down to look very flat.
The general one-sided effect that was a feature of last sea
son’s fashions and which was very much overdone is being
i carefully eliminated by the best Paris dressmakers, and lace
and other trimming are arranged in a more natural manner.
; The fichu and the cape effect, however, will be carried over into
' next season and the cape in all kinds of arrangements will be
! most popular.
Nothing seems to be able to stop the vogue of black and
white; and, indeed, most women find it both becoming and
economical. It will continue next fall, and already the first
autumn hats are appearing in black or white. The white ones
are of plush, with lower crowns and large flat brims. Then
there are helmet shaped toques with the plume very much to
one side and bonnet shaped toques in the Directoire style.
These are to be worn with very simple models in velveteen.
One of the smartest of these new frocks Is of golden brown vel
veteen bordered with black satin. The foundation is the simple
■ frocks we have seen all summer. A plain, rather short-waisted
I dress is buttoned down the front. The back breadth of the
I velvet Is draped at the hem of the gown and the band of
i black satin goes over the.-shoulder to the foot of the gown in
I front and then around the back. There is the flat, wide collar
; of l.ice over the shoulders and the so-called Robespierre collar
■ besides.
The girl who loves ruffles would he suited with the new
’ fashion, for flounces and ruffles of lace or heavy material are
' sure to be a feature of the autumn fashions. The dark taffeta
1 dresses which were so much worn in the early spring days are
i disappearing from view, while poplins and satins are being
• made up for smart afternoon dresses.
Fur has already made its appearance and is used to trim
chiffon dresses. It is sure to be very popular for fall, espe
cially skunk and ermine. A callot dress of white satin is one
of the handsomest new models; the skirt is made very full and
over it is a short tunic of white chiffon, edged with ermine.
Most of the waists are tight fitting, and all the silk dresses
have long, tight sleeves. Many of the waist belts are deep and
folded to the figure with a sash and long ends behind.
Among amusing fashions that were seen at the races was a
hat in prune taffeta, corded into the shape of a melon with a
plain taffeta border; curling from this border upward and
backward from the right side was a wonderful golden paradise
plume.
Shoes are quite fantastic, most of them being In the same
shade as the dress and made of satin, but the fad for white
shoes with dark dresses will go well in the autumn, and prob
ably we will see this piebald effect in the winter, too.
Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
HE DOESN’T LOVE YOU.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am nineteen and have a great
many gentlemen friends, but I love
one very much, and he seems to
care for me.
We meet quite often at different
parties, where he pays a lot of at
tention to me and always takes
me home, but h» never asks if he
can call for me. My girl friends
asfted j**m quite a few times to
bring me. but he either says he has
another engagement or stays home
without an excuse.
ANXIOUS
if he cared for you he would look for
an opportunity to be with you. In
stead of that he seems to shun it.
It is a good rule for a girl to ob
serve to refuse to let a man escort her
home if he didn’t have enough gal
lantry to escort her there. Don’t let
him take you home next time.
YOU ARE NOT IN LOVE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
J am 23 and in love with a young
man of 19. We were engaged to be
married, but this young man Is
making only S3O a week, and told
me to wait, that in the course of
four or five years he would be mak
ing S6O or S7O a week. There is
another young man of 26 who Is
making sl2 a week. I love both of
these young men dearly and do
you think it is proper for me to wait
for the young man five years, or
marrv the voting in? i who is now
making sl2? UNDECIDED.
Don't become engaged to either, fer
the reason that you don't really love
one well enough to marry him.
If you did. there would be no room in
your heart for doubt or argument.
CERTAINLY NOT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 32. but do not think I look
over 24. 1 have been keeping com
pany with a young lady 18 years of
age for the past year.
I am at present earning sll a
week, with a bright future.
I am desperately in love with this
girl She is a Swede and I am
Irish. Do you think this difference
in nationality would mar our hap
piness? WILLIAM CHEENERS.
If you really love each other it makes
no difference what country was your
i birthplace or hers. Go ahead and win.
A Swedish girl usually has so much
energy and vim that she makes a fine
wife, especially for an easy-going Irish.

THERE COULD BE NO OBJECTION.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 have a bachelor friend living
in the mountains who wants me to
write to him. He is very lonely, he
says. He is forty: lam twenty. 1
would like to correspond, but don't
want to if it means to encourage
him, for I could never feel toward
him in that way.
CONST AN T REA DER
I'lie correspondence might prove of
interest and profit to both of you. Per
haps he has no sentimental hopes re
garding you. and considers you merely
as a nice girl friend No man re
gards every woman correspondent as a
possible matrimonial venture.
Do You Know—
An average man of 150 pounds con
tains the constituents found in 1,200
eggs. There is enough gas In him to
fill a gasometer of 3,649 cubic feet. He
contains enough iron to make four
tenpenny nails. His fat would make
75 candles and a good-sized cake of
soap. His phosphate contents would
make 8,064 boxes of matches. There
Is enough hydrogen in him in com
bination to fill a balloon and carry him
above the clouds. The remaining con
stituents of a man would yield, if
utilized, six teaspoonfuls of salt, a bowl
of sugar and ten gallons of water.

Kelso, whom the Alaska Steamship
Company have just placed in charge of
the wireless installation of their latest

holds a. certificate of proficiency from
the United States navy department,
and understands emergency repairs and
the replacing of broken parts. When

A feature of the Hotel Industry’ ex
hibition now open in Zurich is a very
simple and Ingenious machine called a
“tornado-dishwasher,” which can easily
wash up and dry with hot air 300
plates and dishes in ten minutes. The
cleansing, which is perfect, is done by
means of 72 brushes, and it is impos
sible for the crockery to be broken.
The washing and drying apparatus is
all in the same piece of machinery,
which is not very large and is as sim
ple as possible to manipulate.
There Is a gamekeeper at Winches
ter. Va., who has a wonderful collec
tion of eats’ tails, which he obtained in
the following way: He surrounds the
coops in which he keeps his pheasants
with a network of electric wires, and
when the cats come after his birds
they are killed by the shock on touch
ing the wires. In the morning the
gamekeeper goes around and picks up
the bodies of the marauders and cuts
off their tails, of which he has 255 spec
imens.

THE HOUSEHOLD PRISONER.
MX THEN women with high hair and
\/\/ high voices get up to talk about
the Prisoner of the Home they
invariably represent that prisoner as j
woman.
They' make of her kitchen dress a
convict's garb, and mold her biscuit
cutter and dishpan into manacles, and
of the chopping bowl make a big ball
which they’ chain to her feet.
There may be homes in which such
conditions exist, but there are as many
more in which the husband is the pris
oner. and his fetters are made of what
his wife calls "love.”
If she doesn't love him. he can do as
he pleases. If she loves him, when he
takes off his hat he hears, "Where have
you been?” and when he puts it on he
hears. "Where are you going?”
These two questions Mrs. Lysander
John Appleton always asks her hus
band. They are followed by objections,
reproaches, mote questions, suspicion,
jealousy, sometimes detective work, and
tears.
Lysander John put on his hat.
“Where.” asked his wife, "are you
going?"
He wanted a breath of air. he said,
and was told to stick his head out of
the window. He believed he would go
to the corner and buy’ a cigar. There
were cigars in his den. He believed he
would ask the druggist for a corn cure.
There were corn remedies in the house.
He sighed, and subsided,, but it was
only’ temporary. He must use diplo
macy.
The florist at the corner has some
American Beauties. Would she like a
bunch? She sniffed in scorn. Would
she like a box of candy? She smiled in
contempt.
