After that she glared at the Pages whenever she chanced to apy them, Then she had her own new troubles. Her lively nephews, Ned and Tom Barrett, and her lovely niece, Elida, had been away at school for a year. They had come home, Ned sprouting a mustache and sporting a hideous bulldog. Pretty Elida brought a pet, too—a bright mischievous little fox terrier, Once Hector caught sight of the dainty little miss across the fence he had frequent glances for the house next door. The second day, bulldog and fox terrier were no longer in evi dence. Miss Wentworth had ban- ished them. The following morning ns he left the house, Hector saw the young lady at her gate patting Tige affectionately with one hand and wip- ing the tears from her eyes with the other, probably lamenting the absence of her own especial pet, Miss Wentworth came into view Just then, She spoke sharply to her niece, gave Hector a devastating glance and marched back into the house, slamming the door after her. Then the same afternoon Hector met Miss Barrett as he came home from the office, She smiled In a friendly, neighborly way and he paused to address her by name. “Then you know who we are?” spoke the little miss archly. “Have your folks set the ban upon you as Aunt Naricissa has upon us?” “The—ban?’ repeated Hector, flush- ing consciously, for he knew exactly what the young lady meant, “Yes, that poor dear dog of yours. And she has sent away my pet, too,” and Elida looked as though on the verge of tears.

Love Beyond Grammar Normal Waistline | Divides Silhouette Into Two Units Once More—Dol- man Qutline.

Since feminine styles have been gradually re- turning to fuvor the waistline has not only become more pronounced but has been gradually and certainly ascending. Despite occasional mid-season rebuffs its progress has been satisfactory and the prognosis of the mode Is that dur- ing the coming season it will occupy a normal or nearly normal line and, while it may not disturb the silhouette there as it did in the days of waspish waists, It is to be misingly marked.
