MAKING A MILLION

By H. T. RICH.

(Copyright, IM7, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Charles E. C. Ackerson was an obscure little author of unpopular fiction —short stories that one thanked heaven were short. The difficulty lay not in any lack of language, but in a certain dearth of ideas. Result: a dull and tedious tale. Ever hear of him? I doubt it. Anyway, you would be unlikely to know he had a daughter. He had, though! Her name was Allalie, and her mother had died when she was very small, leaving her to her father’s kindly but irregular tutelage. As a consequence of which, by the time she reached twenty, she was in possession among other things of as vigorous an artistic temperament as the most ardent temperament fan could desire. Now an artistic temperament must have its opposite, and hers was H. H. Bennink —though he pretended he had just such a temperament as hers and swore he was a writer. For Bennink was versed in the ways of women. Moreover, he and the aforesaid Charles were friends. Put this with the fact that he actually was in love with daughter Allalie, and you have a situation that would really have afforded grounds for fiction. “Henry,” Charles said one day, “you don’t write I’ll wager you never sold a story in your life.” “Hush!” Henry refilled, drooping a slow lid. “I use a ‘norn de plume.’ ” Whereupon Charles had ceased to be concerned on that point. They understood each other, and the sooner a certain marriage took place, the better. But not so Allalie. She wanted a real author, not one who used “nom de plumes” arid was mysteriously reticent .about his work. “It’s no use, Henry,” she exclaimed at length, after he had been coming to see her for several months. “You’ve either got to write under your own name, or go away—for good.” Her words were final, and he knew it “Would you marry me if I did?” he asked. “Yes,” she said. Now watch! Bennink, being a business man, betook himself to Charles’ inner shrine and sat with him in solemn conclave. There was bold talk, and mention of sums of money in seven figures. An agreement was reached. Then he returned to Allalie. “My dear,” he said, “it shall be as you wish. I shall reveal my identity at last, in a series of stories which I promise to begin tomorrow.” And when tomorrow arrived, the series was begun. We must now suppose some months to have elapsed, and Allalie to have become Mrs. Bennink. Do you remember those stories in K t’s Magazine last year, about the young fellow who succeeded in relieving Wall street of so much money? “Henry Makes a Million,” the series was called. Perhaps you have forgotten, but the name H. H. Bennink was under the title. Bennink will never forget The memorable day the issue containing his first story appeared, he had returned from the office (Yes, indeed, it is quite customary for authors now--, adays to have city offices!) to be met on his doorstep by an exultant wife. “Not *O. Henry’—'H. H. Bennink!’ ” he had laughed, and kissed her. He said it bored him to see his name in print. But the arrival of each month’s issue of K ——’s continued to be fraught with keenest Interest for his wife, and a certain pride in her husband grew and grew. Nor was she unduly proud, for the series was a great success. “A case of getting famous all of a sudden,” he confided to Charles one morning. “Why, do you know, dozens of magazines t are after me for stories, publishers are bothering me to death about book rights, and seven colleges have offered me professorships in English. They hail me as the man of the hour, whereas —” “Hush!” warned Charles. The months sped on, the series was concluded, and presently it appeared in volume form —sb that all might buy and learn how a certain Henry had been able to gather together ten hundred thousand dollars out of the debris of Wall street Then, one day, Charles E. C. Ackerson and H. H. Bennink voted themselves leave of absence; and Mrs. Bennink, returning from an afternoon auction party, found the following note from her distinguished husband pinned rakishly to the lampshade in the library: <> “My Dear: s. / “I am the hero, your author. I made the million. He made it famous. We are on our vacation. Love. HENRY. “P. g.—You will find my bankbook in the top drawer Of my desk.” When Mrs. Bennink found that bankbook, she learned something that gave her artistic temperament a terrific jolt—and brought her to the conclusion that Henry was more of a business man, and her father more of a writer, than she had supposed—and that the combination was ideal both ways.

SHORT WRAP WORN

Apparently Shapeless One of Novelties of Season. 11l m Warm aa a Fur Coat but Does Not Hide Beauty of Smart Drew That May Be Worn Under It One of the most picturesque and popular novelties of the season is the apparently shapeless, little short wrap, which is warm as a fur coat, but which permits a smart dress to be seen in all its glory, writes Idalia de Villiers, a Paris correspondent For example, such a short wrap as that shown in the illustration. This was copied from an exclusive and very expensive Paris model, which was specially created for the young queen of Spain. The original model was composed of ermine and sable, with an exquisite lining of brocaded satin, which showed pastel pink flowers on a silver-gray ground. But the wrap shown in the sketch was made of pale-gray oursine, with a large collar of musquash and the same soft fur on the ends of the loose sash. There was a lining of bright printed silk, which exploited Chinese designs in three different shades of blue, and the sleeves were wide and rather short This was quite an inexpensive garment and eminently attractive. Melusine, oursine or supple ratine might be used for such a wrap as this, and any fur could be added on the collar and sash ends; this model would afford

Wrap of Smoke-Gray “Oursine."

an excellent opportunity for using up an old stole, which, though good In parts, was not fresh enough to be worn in its original form. I recently saw a very similar wrap made of melusine in a clear shade of beige, with collar and trimmings of beaver. There was a Russian toque to match, shaped very like the toque shown in the sketch. In passing 1 must point out that these high-crowned toques, with fur borders, are populgr Just now. They are easily made and very becoming.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

Women have taken the places of all men letter carriers in Paris. Women are working in Section gangs on the Pittsburgh division of the Pennsylvania railroad. The French “garcon” of the boulevard cases of Paris has disappeared and his place is taken by a girl. Three hospitals have been established in England for war victims by the Russian Grand Duchess Georgievna. Practically all the work in some departments of Belgian munition factories is done by girls. Hundreds of Russian girls, emulating their sisters of the Battalion of Death, have joined their country’s navy. It is estimated that at least 20,000 nurses will be needed for service in hospitals at home and abroad during the next year, according to the report of Surgeon General William O. Gorgas, United States An urgent appeal comes from Major Murphy, head of the American Red Cross in France, to the women of this country for more surgical dressings and* bandages. The Canadian government Is contemplating increase of the allowance of wives of soldiers from S2O to $25 a month. Records show that the demand for fur coats atfd sets by women of England and France has Increased enormously since the beginning of the war. Practical and attractive peasant costumes have been*made in America for the women In ruined districts of northern France. The first American woman to qualify as a sharpshooter, Mrs. Jackson Morris, Is instructiiig soldiers at Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Miss., In the best methods of shooting. .

HANDSOME AFTERNOON GOWN

This afternoon gown Is of navy blue taffeta combined with foulard In blue and white. The cover Jacket of navy blue chiffon falls in graceful lines arid is marked by bead embroidery following the same design as in the foulard. The Turkish skirt is a distinctive feature. The hat Is a georgette sailor, fur trimmed.

FROCKS OF VELVET SOMBER

Texture and Color Lend Distinction to Daytime Costumes Though Little Trimming Is Used. The women who dress well apparently cannot do without the little velvet frocks. More often they are built up on very straight lines, with just enough concession to the waist to avoid any awkward blockiness. Narrow-shouldered, large-walsted, long-sleeved, narrow at the hem are most of these velvet frocks,, but many variations are played upon the theme. Even where there is absolutely no trimming, as is often the case, individuality is given to the model by some original line of drapery on collar or sleeve; and if the velvet la one of the exquisitely soft and lustrous fabrics on whose beauty war conditions seem to have Imposed no limitations, its texture and color and line lend it more distinction than any amount of trimming could give. The daytime velvet frock if not black is almost always somber in tone, though the texture of velvet gives the lie to somberness. If not very dark its color is likely to be neutral, and although there are bright blues and reds of the brick, mahogany, rust and brighter wine shades among the velvet afternoon gowns, they are very few compared iflth the host of blacks, browns, taupes, deep wine and purple tones, dark greens, dark blues and grays. Where trimming is used upon the velvet day frock it is usually a bit of embroidery in self-color and metallic thread or discreetly used fur. Much less fur is introduced upon dresses than was usual last year, though fur is lavished upon the coats of the season.

POKE THAT HINTS OF SPRING

Just to take the chill off the air, taki a peek at a poke* bonnet, different front the rest, and with unusual charm. It is made of rows of ribbon facings in various colors and It Is called “Maytime," most appropriate for a bonnet that breathes the very feeling of spring Into one’s veins. The tiny flowers are remindful of youth.

Corduroy Bathrobes.

There is nothing so pleasantly cone sortable for cold mornings as a bathrobe—or breakfast robe—of corduroy, and these robes are not prohibitively expensive for the average woman They have graceful flowing lines, wid» sleeves, pockets and a knotted sash that give a shapely silhouette, and oris may select a becoming ear!y-mornin| color, like Dutch blue, rose or coral. ’r ' .
