AW-TOUCHED FELTS CARRY |
(A
ELL, in the realm of smart hats,
felt is still the central theme,
Indeed, it is during these intermediate
days ’twixt winter and spring that
enthusiasm for colorful felts runs
highest. Considering the ingenuity
and skill with which milliners are
working felt, it is no wonder that once
again the felt hat is proving a magnet
which is attracting all seekers of
smart headwear unto it.
The ways and workings of the brims
of felt hats are past analyzing. Suffice
it to say that brims were never more
intriguing or unusual or so universally
flattering. The top hat in this picture
with the embroidered flowers give a
fair idea of how ingeniously brims are
manipulated.
A touch of straw on a felt hat
works wonders in creating a feeling
of spring in the air. It is the straw-
touched felt which is holding the cen-
ter of the stage at this very moment.
Note the model at the top to the right
in this group. The picture fails to
show it very clearly, but under the
fringe of felt, if you will look closely,
you will discover a circlet which is
formed of hand sewn wee straw braid.
Nuff said! Spring is on the way!

In the Haunted
3 House
S
& By FREDERICK HART
(Copyright.)
i SHAW! There's no such thing
as a ghost!” Cordelia Davis’
voice was defiant. “There’s ng more
harm in that old house than there is
in a chicken coop.”
“But, Cordelia, old Bates says—”
“Oh, don’t tell me what old Bates
says! 1 wouldn't believe that old rep-
robate on a stack of Bibles!”
The object of Cordelia’s outburst
of skepticism was a group of young
pecple around the fireplace in the
Davis country house.
The talk had drifted from golf and
bridge to haunted houses and some
one had mentioned the deserted house
up the road, stating that it was haunt-
ed, and adducing the evidence of old
Bates, the peripatetic gardener of the
Davis menage, as evidence in support.
A weird tale of moving lights and
hollow groans had caused the com-
pany to sit a little closer around the
fire—all except Cordelia. She shouted
her derision at the idea, and over
rode the objections of the company.
“Why,” she finished, as'a sort of
crusher to trample all opposition, *I
wouldn't be afraid to spend a night
in that old place any time. I'll go
there tonight!”
And before gnyone could protest
she was out of the room. Looking out
of the window they could see her in
the early moonlight walking rapidly
toward the path that led to the haunt-
ed house, with a shawl which she had
caught up in her progress through the
hall, thrown over her head. The com-
pany returned to their seats by the
fire a little sobered by the incident.
“I think Cordelia’s very foolish to
rush off like that,” said Betty Sterne,
one of the most popular of the guests.
“She might meet a tramp or a dog or
anything. Don’t you think some one
might go after her?”
“Whoever went after her would run
an awful risk of being eaten alive,”
retorted Charles West, Betty's suitor
of the moment. *“Cordelia’s made up
her mind. and nothing we could do
would change it.”
So the crowd continued its chatter,
apparently forgetful of the obstinate
Cordelia. But one man was moody
and silent. This was Jimmy Westlake.
He did not like the idea of Cordelia’s
being out alone, even though the
ruined house was on her own property
and there was nothing to be appre-
hended from tramps or other prowlers
of the night. His solicitude was not
entirely based on disinterestedness;
Cordelia had long ago entangled him
in the meshes of her attractiveness,
but he was by nature a silent man.
who did not show well in the com-
pany of the more brilliant, if shallow-
er, group that surrounded Cordelia.
So he had never spoken.
As the hour wore on toward half-
past eleven, Jimmy's uneasiness in-
creased. Finally he could bear it no
longer, and with a word of excuse
about going out to the garage to see
about something he had forgotten to
do to his car, he slipped from the
room. Once outside he headed for the
haunted house.
The broken edifice was ghostly
enough in the pale moonlight, with
its crumbling walls, glassless windows
and shattered door. He stole cautious-
ly up the path te the doorway, and
ever as his fcot touched the worn sill
he heard a muffled shriek from with-
in. Every nerve on fire, he rushed
through the littered hall and came to
a door from behind which emanated
sobs mingled with an unearthly clank-
ing sound.
It was locked, but his shoulder sent
it crashing inward and he found him-
self in a room dusty with the accumyp-
lation of years, in which the moon-
light filtered dimly through dirty
panes; in one corner a huddled heap
of white which he knew to be Cor-
delia; and across the floor something
black and shapeless was moving ac-
companied by that ghostly rattle!
He kicked savagely at the thing.
It leaped away with a snarl, and the
moonlight fell on it—a small dog with
a collar from which dangled a few
feet of rusty chain!
Relieved, Jimmy laughed aloud, and
took two strides to where Cordelia
crouched, her hands over her face. At
the sound of his voice she looked up.
then suddenly sprang to her feet and
threw her arms around his neck, hid-
ing her face on his shoulder.
“Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy! U'm so glad
you came! I'm so glad!”
Even when he explained that it was
only a dog she refused to be com-
forted, shuddering against him and
begging to be taken home. He helped
her outdcors, and in the open air she
found relief in. tears, his good right
arm holding her close. And as she
realized her need of him he felt surg-
ing through him h#s love for her, and
then and there, on the path that led
to her house he told her all that his
heart had ached to express. Her
tears ceased; but she did not draw
away from his protecting arm. At
the threshold of the house they
paused.
“And you were the only one to think
of coming for me!”
“I had to come—something made
me. | had to come because I love you
and have always loved you. Cordelia
| dear, you do care, don’t you?”
“Oh, Jimmy, I'm so glad I was fool
ish and willful and went to that hor-
rible house! I might never have
known—just think, I might never have
found out that you love me and that—
and that I love you, Jimmy.”
