"Nobody in the Timanyoni is going to pry into you an inch farther than you caro to let 'em; and if you get into trouble by helping us, you can count on at least one backer who will stand by you until the cows come home. Now, then, hunt up your coat and we'll drive over to Hillcrest for a bite to eat. I had my orders from the missus before I left town, and I know better than to go home without you. Never mind the commissary khaki. It won't be the first time that the working- clothes have figured at the Hillcrest table—not by a long shot." And because he did not know how to frame a refusal that would refuse, Smith got his coat and went. Given his choice between the two. Smith would cheerfully have faced another hand-to-hand battle with the claim jumpers in preference to even so mild a dip into the former things as the dinner at Hillcrest foreshadowed. The reluctance was not forced: it was real. The primi tive man in him did not wish to be entertained. On the fast auto drive down to Brewster, across the bridge, and out to the Baldwin ranch. Smith's humor was frankly sardonic. He cherished a small hope that Mrs. Baldwin might be shocked at the soft shirt and the khaki. It would serve her right for taking a man from his job.

Smith let the gray car go on its way up the drive without him.- "So you weakened, did you? I'm disappointed in you," was Sliss Bald win's greeting. "You've made mo lose my bet with colonel-daddy. I said you wouldn't come.' ' "I had no business to come," he answered morosely. "But your fath er wouldn't let me off." "Of course he wouldn't: daddy never lets anybody off. unless they owe him money. Where are your evening clothes?" Smith let the lever of moroseness slip back to the grinning notch. "They are about two thousand miles away, and probably in some second hand shop by this time. What makes you think I ever wore a dress suit?" He had closed the gates and was walking beside her horse up the driveway. "Oh. I just guessed it," she return ed lightly, "and if you'll hold your breath, I'll guess again." "Don't," he laughed.

As it is shown here, it is made of a Scotch gingham, green and white check, and it is trimmed with white to be very dainty and pretty, but you could copy it in linen or in chambray or in challis, if you want a light weight wool material, or you could use a pique and the piques are very charming. Rose colored or blue pique would be charming triifimed with white or you could use white and trim with color, or, if you like you could use color for the trimming as well as for the dress and simply scallop the edges of the collar, pockets and cuffs with white. For the 12-year size will be needed, 4 yards of material 36 inches wide, with yards for the box plait and trimming. The pattern No. 9400 is cut in sizes from Bto 14 years.
