HIS most graceful evening f roc It on t lie left is
made of apricot silk cash men* The bodice
is made over a foundation of light pink
silk muslin, with an embroidered and beaded galloon.
A very wide piece of applique lace, edged with
a narrow band of Fable, passed over the shoulders,
veils the arms and falls in two long ends, front and
back. These points are finished by long bended
tassels.
The skirt is shirred very full at the Km pi re
waist line, the head of which Is rather high, adding
to the short waisted effect. It is trimmed with in
crustations of beaded embroidery, and is finished
by a rounded train.
This garment attracts particular admiration be
cause of the manner In which It hangs in the most
graceful linos to the feet.
Many of the season’s evening gowns are worn
shorter than ever, and. in addition, am drawn up
high In the hack. This style is illustrated by the
accompanying model of “‘jonquil souffle de
sole” (jonquil silk breath) and green and jonquil
liberty silk on the right.
The bodice, made of souffle de solo. is draped
both front and back with a crossing, or Priscilla,
effect, and is richly embroidered with immense

a deep decollete In V, unlined and with very short
sleeves.

skirt is of green and jonquil double-face satin,
gathered very full at the waist, showing the pan
nier effect on either side, and trimmed with a huge
bow at the back. It falls over a second tunic made

TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
C APTAIN HOLBROOK had stopped
Ju*t beyond the great curtains
Fie stood, a straight and splendid
figure In his loose topcoat, and marked
himself that absolute gentleman who
wears his dress clothes with the same
graceful ease and self-forgetfulness he
shmvs In tennis flannels Then suddenly
the "devil-may-care” ease of the up
standing Irish gentleman, than whom
there is no finer, went from his simple
pose. He became no mere onlooker -but
one who feels a sudden vital interest
In what lies before him.
Holbrook gave the room the qulok In
spectlon of a man trained In the mili
tary. He turned his head sharply from
side to side inhaling—while abruptly
fear crossed his face
In the lightning flash with which a
drowning man sees the panorama of his
life—Larry Holbrook lived over a hap
py scene—a merry little dialogue he had
heard that afternoon.
"The Man: "Tell me—what perfume
is that you're wearing?"
The Girl: "It Is vile, Isn’t it?"
The Man: "It haunts me like a dream
of summer what is it?"
The Girl: "It is named Chypre,"
The Man: "To be sure -Chypre I
loafed away a fortnight there. A god
dess like you does well to wear the per
fume of the Island of Cyprus Chypre
is the French for that island where
Mount Olympus stands, and the girls of
Cyprus wear that Olympian perfume,
too."
The Girl: “Do you like It?"
The Man: "I adore it."
The Girl: "Father doesn’t—he says it
saturates the house."
A puzzled look—-a look of pain came
across I^arry Holbrook’s face. That
perfume saturated the room in which he
stood- and the girl and the man In
the conversation which had just flashed
Its message of\ horror across his bralr
were* Aline Graham and himself!
The chief turned to look at Holbrook.
That gentleman had too often found hu
man life depending on ea.se and savoir
faire to be at a loss now. There was
but a momentary paqse. Then Holbrook
spoke easily:
"Shot, wasn’t he. Donnell?"
"No ”
"Wasn’t?”
The captain’s tone bespoke utter as
tonishment.
"Struck with one of thlm iron paper
folles," explained Donnell, with a heavy
brogue that was cider brother to the
wee touch of Irish music In Ijurry Hol
brook's voice.
"Powder smoke in the air," said Hol-
| brook In easy explanation of his theory.
And to himself he added very serious
ly: "And—perfume."
j "I thought this Job would be* too
j big for the headquarters men. Chief ’’
began Donnell.
"Ob, I’m not on It officially. Donnell
just to look It over with the inspector.
Has he been here?"
Donnell shook his head. "The Inspec
tor Just phoned and asked you to please
wait for him"
"I see! Every moment that we waste
may lie fading a clew. We had better
look about a bit," said the Chief, more
truthfully than he knew.
The two officials- -with that cold
blooded air of business that they must
all the more assume in the presence of
mysterious death, walked over and look
ed at the Body.
fudson Flagg lay sprawled across the
table as he had died. And one clenched
fist held the clew that must betray
Aline Graham with pitiless certainty.
Hut the Chief did not touch the inert
mass of evil that lay before him. All
must be left as It had been at the
moment of death—Inspector MacIntyre
must find every olew intact. % So Judson
Flagg’s remorseless dead hand still cov
ered Its bitter evidence.
Laryy Holbrook still stood motionless
near the door. He felt the stern ne
cessity for clear thought—the situa
tion threatened to be strangely com
plicated.
What did It all portend And that
was the very question that a trem
bling girl was asking of the night’s
darkness—what did It all mean?
Suddenly Holbrook spied a crumpled
rose at his feet—her rose—could It be?
But no—there were thousands of Klllar-
ney roses in Washington. He stooped
and picked up the flower—In another
moment It would have been safe In
the pocket of his coat, but Chief Demp
ster looked up, and, assuming a fine air
of casual Interest, Holbrook dropped the
liower at his feet. Another piece of
evidence lay shrieking to the Heavens
of Aline!
"Right over the heart," said Donnell
with unction. Even a crime neatly con
summated may have its admirers!
"Not a bad weapon
, rnitted Chief Dempster.
The Chief began moving about quiet-
[ ly, and as he scanned everything in a
quick, alei^t way Donnell watched him
admiringly.
Holbrook still held his position near
the center door, but suddenly he took
off his top coat and tossed It and his
hat on an Inconspicuous chair. His
manner had become alert and deter
mined. There was a military crispness
in his bearing as he came forward and
scanned everything as quickly as the
Chief himself. He seemed to be listen
ing to Donnell, but he was following a
train of thought far removed from Don
nell.
"I wus on Sixteenth street, an’ I
hcerd the Kid a-yelllng an’ I run over
here, a-blowin’ my whistle as I come,
an’ I found what you see, and T phoned
headquarters, and "
"See anybody after you got here?"
asked the Captain.
"Only the boy—he's upstairs—but he
don’t know nothing about it."
A look of relief crossed Holbrook's
face. What did he fear? And could his
love stand the strain—If It all proved
J true? Could a man go on loving a
woman after he knew that she had
committed murder? Would he still wish
to marry a girl whose hands were
stained with the blood of human life?
"Him," said Donnell, nodding to the
i thing that had"been Judson Flagg, "and
! the boy lived here to themselves."
"Made any investigations?" asked the
! Chief crisp y,
"Never touched a thing, no, sir—just
as you see it."

that a written description of this
last movement Is not entirely ade
quate because the steps are origi
nal and not at all easy to learn
or to understand, either, for that
matter. And, although I have
great hopes for those who have
experimented with a great many of
the new dances, still the dance
should really be seen In order to
perfect this sixth movement as

M >. -
The Drag.
By DONALD BRIAN.
Star of “The Marriage Market.”
Copyright, 1913, International News
Service.
T HE sixth movement of the
Futurist Twirl is a still fur
ther elaboration of the tur
key trot.
It begins with a drag forward,
the man starting with the right
foot, the girl backward with the
left foot, as in the picture, and
the man going forward with the
left and the girl back with the
right, to make two drags or four
counts.
This drag Is simply a skip done
slowly. Then there are eight
hops, or eight of the dragging
steps done rapidly, vary rapidly,
so as to make them almost a skip.
This rapid movement may be bet
ter known to dancers of to-day as
the scissors step.
The legs are held rigid and the
movement of four counts ends
with the pose In the second pic
ture finishing up the eight counts
of the music, the left foot of the
man across the right foot of the
girl. Don't forget to have your
music right with you—hum if you
have nothing better—for this dance
depends on the lilt of a good tango
for Its better understanding.
This position in the second pic-
In the "drag”
the legs are
held rigid,
the movement
ending with
the pose in
the top picture.
The Skip.
ture is exactly the position for the
beginning of the scissors step also,
so that when it Is practiced it will
help a great deal to fall into the
position Immediately.
After the sixth movement eight
more counts of the turkey trot are
added, and then a repetition of the
fish walk described in the third
movement.
Of course It can readily be seen
is now revealed. And 1 hope by
this time Its Intricacies have been
mastered by many.
At any rate, it has been a grat
ification to me to see it danced
this Winter, and I have no doubt
that I shall some day stumble upon
some of my pupils who have faith
fully, studied my directions through
these columns, and who will dance
it a great deal better than I do.
A Merry Christmas to you all!
Dick came closer and said, in a ennfl-
j dentlal and familiar bone of understand-
! ing and good fellowship:
"Gettin' to be a regular little feller,
I ain’t he?"
I "He’s all in," said Kitty, unsenti-
j mentally.

enough. tYell I’m off I open Monday

this!"
He looked around him with a sneer.
His roving eye lingered a bit on Kitty’s
; face to see how she would take the
j suggestion he meant to convey.
"Good-bye. Dick!" said Kitty in a far
away voice.
She had put the table between them,
i and had seated herself in a high.
1 straight chair. Iter hands were clasped
loosely In her lap- and she seemed
scarcely conscious of Dick I^e Roy and
| his "eighty per.”
Dick came over to the table and
leaned across it so that his sleek brown
head was close to her golden one. He

j eyes were always Intent on her far-

"A hundred and seventy-five double!"
He waited a moment for this to sink I
into Kitty’s mfcney-lovtng conscious
ness
"I got It in black and white—” Hts
voice took on a deeper tone, but his
J manner was guarded—held In leash
"A hundred and seventy-five double—
and a wedding ring, If you’re fond of
Jewelry."
Kitty put her elbows on the table and
sunk her chin in the palms of her
hands She was still staring—staring
intently. Dick wondered what she vls-
