Suits somo of us. Well, if we get to my camp before 3 the cook might feed us. Come on. You'll get to hating yourself if you stay here alone till Charlie's through." Why not? Thus she parleyed with herself, one half of her minded to stand upon her dignity, the other part of her urging acquiescence in his wish that was almost a com mand. She was tempted to refuse just to Bee what he would do, but she reconsidered that. Without any logical foundation for the feeling, she was shy of pitting her wi[l against Jack Fyfe's. Hitherto quite sure of herself, schooled in self pos session, it was a new disturbing ex perience to come in contact with that subtle, analysis defying quality which carries the possessor thereof straight to his < or her goal over all opposition, which indeed many times stifles all opposition. Force of char acter, overmastering personality,! emanation of sheer will, she could not say in what terms it should be described. Whatever it was, Jack Fyfe had it. It existed, a factor with him. For within twenty min utes she had packed a suit case full of clothes and was embarked in his rowboat. He sent the lightly built craft easily through the water with reg ular, effortless strokes. Stella sat in the stern, facing him. Out past the north horn of the bay she broke the silence that had fallen be tween them. "Why did you make a point of coming for me?" she asked bluntly. Fyfe rested on his oars a moment, looking at her in his direct, unem barrassed way. "I wintered once on the Stickine," he said. "My partner pulled out be fore Christmas and never, came back. It was the first time I'd ever been alone in my life. I wasn't a much older hand in the country than you are. Four months without hear-' ing the sound of a human voice— stark alone.

Stella sat gazing at the slow mov ing panorama of the lake shore, her chin in her hand. "Thank you," she said at last, and very gently. Fyfe looked at her a minute or more, a queer, half amused expres sion creeping into his eyes. "Well," he said finally, "I might as well tell the whole truth. I've been thinking about you quite a lot lately, Miss Stella Benton, or I wouldn't have thought about you getting lonesome." He smiled ever so faintly, a mere movement of the corners of his mouth, at the pink flush which rose quickly in her cheeks and then re sumed his steady pull at the oars. Except for a greater number of board shacks and a larger area of stump and top littered waste im mediately behind it, Fyfe's head quarters, outwardly at least, differed littlo from her brother's camp. Jack led her to a long log structure with a shingle roof, which from its more substantial appearance she judged to be his personal domicile. A plump smiling woman of forty greeted her on the threshold. Once within, Stella perceived that there was in fact, considerable difference in Mr. Fyfe's habitation. There was a great stone fireplace, before which tyg tfasy chairs Invited restful lounging. The floor was overlaid with thick rugs which deadened her footfalls. With no pretense of ornamental decoration, the room held an air of homely comfort. "Come In here and lay oft your things," Mrs. Howe beamed on her. "If I'd 'a' known you were livln' so cloto we'd have been acquainted a week ago. though I ain't got rightly settled here myself. My land, these men are such clams! I never knowed till this mornin' there was any white woman at this end of the lake- besides myself." She showed Stella into a bed room. It boasted an enamel wash stand with taps which yielded hot and cold water, neatly curtained windows and a deep seated morris chair. Certainly Fyfe's household accommodation was far superior to Charlie Benton's. Stella expected the man's home to be rough and ready like himself, and In a meas ure It was, but a comfortable sort of rough and readiness. She took off her hat and had a critical survey of herself In a mirror, after which she had just time to brush her hair before answering Mrs. Howe's call to a "cup of tea.", The cup of tea resolved itself Into a well cooked and well served meal, with china and linen and other un expected table accessories which agreeably surprised her. Inevitably she made comparisons, somewhat tinctured with natural envy. If Charlie would fix his place with a l'ew such household luxuries life In their camp would be more nearly bearable despite the long hours of disagreeable work. As it was —well the unrelieved discomforts were be ginning to warp her outlook on everything.

This dress can be made with one wide tuck in the skirt, as it is here, or with two narrower ones and both treatments suggest the over-skirt idea. Jt is a very graceful dress, a very practical dress and it is perfect for street wear, while it is equally appro priate for indoor use. It can be made of charmeuse if something very dressy is wanted or it can be made of light weight serge if a practical dress is wanted. You can make the collar and cuffs of a contrasting material or of the same material embel lished with a little embroidery or with a little braiding. Any woman considering a useful cos tume for between seasons and early Autumn will find this model of inestimable value. Made of serge or of gabardine it serves numberless uses. White washable satin is much liked for collars and cuffs on a dark dress and practical women attach them with snap fasteners. For the medium size will be needed, 6% yards of material 36 inches wide, yards 44, with % /i yard 36 inches wide for the collar and cuffs. The pattern No. 9507 is cut in sizes from 34 to 42 inches bust measure. It will be mailed „ ~ „ „, to any address by the Fashion 9507 Drew with Over-Skirt Effect, Department of this paper, on 34 to 43 burt.

The other woman paused ana smiled a little j wearily. "I really oughtn't to," she| returned, "but it does look cool and ; nice, and I guess I will take thej time." "Of course, sou will," said thej other woman, who, though large, wore a simple gingham housedreK.s, short of sleeves and cut out in the neck. It was a hot day, but she did not look hot or hurried. She looked Instead supremely healthy. "I don't see how you get the time to sit down in the morning," sighed the other woman, who was slight and wore an old-fashioned dress of a washedout organdie. "It's all in the way you look at It, Mrs. Jenkins," said the first speaker. "And you look ao nice and new fangled, somehow. Now, that dress you have on, it's just gingham, and it's simple, but it has style." "I made it myself." "If you don't beat all," said the other admiringly. "You take life too hard," said the first speaker, who was called Mrs. Stewart. "I don't know what else I'm going to do. I forgot to get these things downtown yesterday and so I had to take the time to-day. I have to go home and iron this morning, too, and it's so hot." I'm ironing this morning, too. But let me tell you something, Mrs. Jenkins.. This is the way 1 do it: I iron in the dining room, for one thing, where I can look up the street and see what's happening. I use my electric iron. You have one, haven't you?" "Yes, but I never thought of iron ing in the dining room. I always shut it up to keep it cool." "Well, I always figure that I'm just as worth keeping cool as any one in our family, so I iron In there. If it's U)o hot I put the electric fan on, and I don't mind Ironing at ail. ' "You don't look as though you could," said Mrs. Jenkins. "This hot weather just fags me out. I said to John last night after sup per that, although we have the nicest porch in town to keep cool ' on, I never use it." "Why don't you?" "Well, by .the time I'm finished cleaning up at night John has had his smoke and is ready for bed. It's no fun sitting out there all alone by yourself." "But what makes you bother with the supper dishes at night?" "Don't you?" queried Mrs. Jen kins unbelievingly. "I should say not. I don't even in winter. I just carry the things out and brush up the scraps and pile them up, and there they sta-> till the next morning. Why, I toss: them off in the morning and never feel it.

You have no idea how it freshens you up. Just try it, Mrs. Jenkins. If you haven't any one to talk to, just sit down and rock and look oft at the mountains. When you get up again it will be like starting in fresh." "But how in the world do you get time to sew?" "Just by not taking life too haid. I really hate to sew, or used to, but, it's fun trying new things. I buy the fashion books and gfet my patterns, and it's just like a new venture every time I make something up. You see, I den't have much expense, because I buy cl\eap goods, and it's fun wondering how they're coming out." Mrs. Jenkins pondered over this. She was quite well aware of the fact that Jim Stewart hadn't half the money that her own husband had, and she remembered with a pang what she called dressmaking days, when the village seamstress came up to sew and wrangle about styles. Here was Mrs. Stewart far more of a novie with tlio needl" than she herself was, cutting out her own dresses, and what is inure enjoying doing it, and looking styl ish in them. She even looked stylish in her working clothes, and Mrs. Jenkins felt ashamed of the old fashioned organdie she had worn down street when her closet was full of clothes that she hadn't wanted to muss up. "It's all In the way you look at SEPTEMBER 15, 1917. It." Mrs. Stewart said again, as her guest rose to go. "I believe you," Mrs. Jenkins re turned heartily.
