HATED

LLEN CASS closed the door be-
hind her and ran out to where
her husband was doing some
last tinkering on the newly ac-
quired second-hand flivver., As she
appeared he drew his head from un-
der the hood with a sigh of satisfac
tion,

he said. “But drive carefully, dear,
No speeding.”
“Speeding! On these roads!" Ellen
faughed as she jumped in. “All right.

noticed that the weather had changed.
The sky was gray, right down to the
tops of the hills the wind was beat-
ing Ellen's cheeks, trying to run away
with her hat and scarf,
“We're going heme more to
roam.” Ellen always sang that on the
return journey. She sang it now, but
somehow it failed of its effect. Per-
haps it was because she was alone.
And now suddenly she felt a cold
caress on her chin. She looked up.
Snowflakes! A million of them up

flakes en her brown gumming

It was difficult to drive, for even after
Helen had turned on the headlights
she found that they penetrated but
feebly into the fast-thicening gloom,
Suppose she got lost! It was pos

the forks of the road. There was no

Ellen gave a sharp little ery, The
cry was torn from her by that swift
terror of concussion, Then she re-
gained calm,
“What a fool 1 am!” she thought.
“There's nobody to hear me”
She got out of the ear and tried
to make an examination of the dam-
nee done, She could not see a thing,
but she felt here and therco—-at the
headlights, the fenders, the radiator,
All safe. The bumper had saved her.
She hod struck something hard, but
the good old bumper had not given
way. The obstacle, however, had gone
down in the shock of impact. A small
tree-—or post. She touched something
with her foot, heard a rattle and
picked up a tin box--a mall bex,

voice answered. “Hello! “What's the

“I ran into your mall box

“Wait! I'm coming.”
Through the opaque veil of the
snow a shadow appeared—Amy Les-

Voile Handkerchicts of
Man-Size Proportions
Fine volle handkerchiefs of man-
wize proportions are decorative as well
as useful. for they add a pleasing
note to any sports costume when seen
drooping from a pocket. Wide hems
and hand-drawn work with a bit of
colorful embroidery here and there
furnish the means of embellishment.
These lovely kerchiefs come in the
light shades of rose, beflge, lavender,
maize and blue. Large squares of
chiffon and georgette make the most
entrancing handkerchiefs, especially
in patterns favoring the floral themes,
where several shades of one color may
be artfully blended In an all-over de-
sign. Tiny rolled hems stand ont es
pecially, for they usually are of black
and so narrow that they supply the
