HIS most graceful evening frock on the left is
made of apricot silk cashmere. 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 sable, passed over the shoulders,
veils the arms and falls in t^vo long ends, front and
J>ack These points are finished by long beaded
tassels.
The skirt is shirred very full at the Empire
waist line, the head of which is rather high, adding
to the short waisted effect. It is trimmed with in
crustations of headed 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 lines to the feet.
Many of the season’s evening gowns are worn
shorter than ever, aud, In addition, are drawn up
high In the back. 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 soie, is draped
both front and back with a crossing, or Priscilla,
effect, and is richly embroidered with immense
green flowers covering the shoulders. The effect, is
a deep decollete in V, unlined and with very short
sleeves.
The skirt is made up of three parts. The top
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
of gathered flounces of jonquil souffle de soie. The
lower skirt is of jonquil liberty silk veiled by souffle
de sole of the same shade and embroidered with
huge green flowers. OLIVETTE.

TO DAY’S INSTALLMENT.
C APTAIN HOLBROOK had stopped
Juat beyond the great, curtains.
He stood, a straight and sp)endid
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
shows In tennis flannels. Then suddenly j
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 vltaJ Interest
in what lies before him.
Holbrook gave the room the quick in
spection 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 j
loafed away a fortnight there. A god- j
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 Btands. 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 T^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 brail?
—were Aline Graham and himself!
The chief turned to look at Holbrook.
That gentleman had too often found hu
man life depending on ease and savoir
falre to be at a loss now. There was
but a momentary pause. Then Holbrook
spoke easily:
"Shot, wasn't he, Donnell?"
"No "
"Wasn’t?"
The captain's tone bespoke utter as
tonishment.
"Struck with one of thiin iron paper
folles," explained Donnell, with a heavy
brogue that was elder brother to the
wee touch of Irish music In Larry 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."
"I thought this Job would be too
big for the headquarters men. Chief—"
began Donnell.
"Oh. 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 be 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
Judson Flagg lay sprawled across the
fable as he had died. And one clenched
fist held the clew that must betray
Aline Graham with pitiless certainty.
But 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 And every clew intact. Bo Judson
Flagg’s remorseless dead hand still cov
ered Its bitter evidence.
I^arry Holbrook still stood motionless
near the door. He felt the stern ne
cessity for clear thought—the situa
tion threatened to b« 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
flower at his feet. Another piece of
evidence lay shrieking to the Heavens
of Aline!
"Bight over the heart.” said Donnell
with unction. Even a crime neatly con
summated may have its admirers!
"Not a bad weapon at that," ad
mitted Chief Dempster.
The Chief began moving about quiet
ly and as he scanned everything in a
quick, alert 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
ha.t 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
heerd the Kid a-yelllng an' I run over
here, a-blowin’ my whistle as I come,
an’ I found what you see, and I 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
i face. What did he fear? And could his
j love stand the strain—if It all proved
true? Could a man go on loving a
; woman after he knew' that she had
I 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
thing that had" been Judson Flagg, "and
the boy lived here to themselves.”
"Made any investigations?" asked the
Chief erisp’y.
"Never touched a thing, no, sir^-just
as you see it."

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I would like to know whether
it Is up to me to apologize to a
girl for the following reason:
I keep company, and my girl
friend and myself with another
couple were at an affair when we
had some trouble with some boys,
and they saw this other girl hold
her friend’s cigarette and thev
thought bad of her. I told her
about having a bad reputation
with these boys and she got sore.
Now my friend refuses to talk to
me until I apologize to my lady

owe no one an apology
Perhaps however, you might have
stated your objections more delicate

you intended no offense.

months. She does not pay any at

she has my ring in her possession
and does not want to return It. and
talks to friends of mine about me,
asking them many different ques

I think she would like to make up,
but wants to punish you first.
You have apologized. Let the matter
rest there for a few months Perhaps
when she thinks you may no longer

TODAY’S INST A LI, M E N T
"Ill get you money." said Kenneth
with the grimmest sort of determina
tion. He still felt the debt of the house
of Nelson to this girl and a man must
have love. If the best is out of his
reach, he is sadly likely to take the
worst, If a smiling face masks the hol
lowness of the cheap substitute.
"When’ll you get me the money?" in-
! sisted Kitty.
"Now'" He took out his watch and
came over to her away from the sun
shiny window and reverie back to the
1 drab room of heavy air, to Kitty—and
fact!
•'I’ll pawn this!"
Advancing in businesslike fashion Kit
ty examined the watch
* "What is it worth?"
“It cost $100!"
"You can't get more than $25. said
Kitty, with brisk certainty. "Can I have
$10?"
"Ten! You can have it all!”
There W as a happier time—when with
the assurance of youth and in the ar
got of Broadway, Ken would have add
ed—"and cheap at half the price." For
given money he knew Kitty would be
sweet again. She was like a gas meter
—that sputters and refuses to give out
light unless it is fed the quarters that
it likes to devour!
He started for the door—and as he
opened it he found Dick LeRoy stand
lng on the threshold In the very act of
entering without the preliminary of a
knock.
"What are you doing here?" snapped
—not Ken—but Ken’s overwrought
nerves.
"What d’ye want of my poor life?"
asked Dick, with his unfailing jaunti
ness. He seemed to have an ability,
shared by ducks, rubber and cravenette
cloth, of shedding the heaviest and
grimmest of rains!
; "Nothing. What do you want of me?"
asked Ken. with knowledge that he had
been bought and paid for.
"I've come to say good-bye." an
swered Dick, in the tone « f an unjust-
! lv suspected cherub.
"Say it before 1 get bad. that gives
iv#u t*a minutes—*tmii gv ilxtm Lot
good!” said Ken. He had determined on
a season of house-cleaning. Kitty should
have her dues - his broken life must
be patched as best it could—but to the
waifs and strays of Kitty’s errant fancy
he would no longer offer a refuge.
The door slammed with insistent em-
phasi*.
"Where’s he going?"
"To hock his watch!" explained Kit
ty nonchalantly.
Dick came closer and said, in a confi
dential and familiar tone of understand
ing and good fellowship:
‘‘Gettin’ to be a regular little feller,
ain’t he?"
"He’s all in," said Kitty, unsentl-
mentally.
"Sure he is, but what’s the odds if
you love him! Love’s better'n money
It gets you more—if you say it quick
enough. Well I’m off. 1 open Monday
up in Albany. Eighty per-^if it is four
shows a day, looks pretty soft—after
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
suggestion he meant to convey.
"Good-bye. Dick!” said Kitty in a far
away voice.
She had put the table between them,
and had seated herself in a high,
straight chair. Her hands were clasped
loosely in her lap- and she seemed
scarcely conscious of Dick I>« 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
did not attempt to touch her—he only
gave the impression of nearness His
eyes were always intent on her far
away gray-blue ones; they were sweep,
ing her face with the remorseless re
vealing of the clear searchlight.
"A hundred and seventy-five double!"
He waited a moment for this to sink
Into Kitty's money-loving conscious
ness.
"I got it in black and white—” His
voice took on a deeper tone, but his
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 vis
ioned. But the visions of even a Kitty
Claire are a little beyond the happy-go-
that a written description of this
last movement is not entirely ade
quate because the steps are ortgl
nal and not at all easy to learn
or to understand, either, for that
matter. And, although I have
great hopes for ■ those who hays
experimented with n great many of
the new dances, still the dance
should really he seen In order to
perfect this sixth movement as
well as the fifth. However, those
who are familiar with the scis
sors step will have very little
trouble In catching on to this
slight variation.

The Drag
The Skip.
By DONALD BRIAN.
Star of “The Marriage Market.”
Copyright, 1913, International News
Service.
T HE sixth movement of the
Futurist TwItI is a still fur
ther elaboration of the tur
k*v trot..
it begins with a drag forward,
the man starting with the right
foot, the girl backward wjth the
left foot, as in the picture, and
the man going forward with the
left and the girl hack 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, very 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 leg's are
held rigid,

ending with
the pose in
the top picture.
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 i hope by
this time its intricacies have been
mastered by many.
At any rate, it has been a grat
Iflcation 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!
