The Grist

By ARCHIE CAMERON NEW

(Copyright. 1918. by McClure Newspaper —: -------- Syndicate.) John Cates came, out of a trancelike stupor and sfnrqd in disgust. Jig had not Keen the victim of a had dream. N»>, hr shivered would that life were Mke that dream! Two- .minutes before there had danced before his vision a picture of •an old grist mill. He could see the trees lazily and.happily brushing their leaves w*ith every puff of wind, and ; the little dam that laughingly dashed | I|Hikprny aguim.t its rooky forn*&tioni-l Ami ids father, with His kindly old ! eyes and stopped shoulders, pouring Into tlw tnlll’s grist fine whole wheat. ; And theft he saw the pure-white flour, so niudi in keeping with the sacredly pure precincts about he hiul before, barefoot* poor. but happy. Ami then the sweet smile of his mother—that dear, kindly squL whose happiest ‘mission was. mtn-. tstration to his boyish' whims and an appreciative father's wants. And then he xvoke up! For a moment he surveyed himself sadly. Those bare toes- of his boyhood were now encased in rich, comfortable shoes, showing off in marked contrast the worn carpet on which they rested. lie fingered nervously the well-tailored clothes that long since hud replaced torn, ragged uvcrallseand smiled bitterly. And then he looked tip ! An ofd nm n ben t over a desk several ’ -feet=ffw-ay seerffcfFTTr remind him of - the old miller, his father, with his sparse gray hairs and stooped shoulders until he looked up. A pair of cunning eyes met Oates' furtively, and then darted to a roughI looking individual waiting, as was Gates, on one of the chairs in a row about the wall of the large outer office. A buzzer sounded and the door of the inner sanctum opened. "It’s your turn next,” huskily whispered the old man to the other. “Leave it to Jerry Bletzman. He’ll fix you up.” The .man grunted unintelligibly and rose hesitatingly try his feet.He, like most of his waiting brethren, had come to be “fixed up.” And Bletzman, the far-famed P. Gerald Bletzman. selfstyled “counselor at law,” was to do the fixing,” or. rather, the “unfixing.” For Bletzman’s many hired henchmen proclaimed that no matrimonial knot was too hard for their patron to untie. “jes’ leave it t’ me,” boomed a raucous'voice, which Gates recognized-as Bletzman’s as he hurriedly pushed a spidery-looking young man out of his office. “L’lLgetsometiiiiE-onher.They ain’t, none o’ them too foxy fer Bletziiran. are they, Pete?” Pete, his assistant. acquiesced .speedily with a chuckle, and Bletzman bent a beady eye on the man who stood close to Pete’s desk. “Come right in.” he welcomed - the other suavely, laying a sweaty palm on i the client’s sleeve. “Pete, bring th' • gentleman’s card in—now.” ; The door slammed and again the I outer office subsided into a low tnur- . mur. of voices.- ,■ So, mused Gates, this was what he . had come to. A place -where the sacred ties of marriage and motherhood were bandied' ahouUlKe. packin£„b<>xes. and card-indexed like a case of measies. Br-r-FL, ■. / —— And across the room, instead Of the sweet smile of his mother, a grayhaired woman in gay clothes smirked fraternally at blip while waiting her i turn. - This drove Gates’ eyes to his lap. on which rested a neat package, which >he now untied. Dragging forth a yelInwish paper, he fell to reading it,, and again It conjured forth visions from outiof a happy past.

There was a great high-ceilinged parlor. smelling deliciously ..of fresh- I picked blossoms, and echoing the sound trf many laughing voh'VsS and the crinkle of.many stiff party dresses. And a rose-bower in the center, under which an ecstatic couple were receivIng congratulations. And Gates, as he read his marriage license, heard ahexy, as if it were yesterday, the little-old ; pastor IsJjsiilenin. Avar tiing, ..“Whom.. God., hath joined together, let nO mqp put asunder.” ■■ “I‘urty well prepared, ain’t yuh, mister?” The voice at Gates’ .elbow' caused him to thrust the paper back in the packet, as he looked up to meet the leer of tjje pian on hisrlght, “Mv 01(1 -woman Wibed mtno “ cnnttTiued the other, enviously, “Leastways, sho--muster given it t’ th’ guy she ''’loped with. -Cost me ‘ fifty. extra t’ get a new one.

Through one a burly Individual shoved a mini, and stood surveying the crowd of waiters. “Who’s next?” he vociferated, in his best barber manner, as if getting divorced was no more than a shave. “Ah, the little lady?” He advanced toward the outer door and Gate?.fob... lowed him with his eyes. And then Gates staggered,, in horror, to his feet. “Luci 11 e I” cried Gates, as a pre tty, slender young girl of obvious refinement hesitated at the threshold. “I wan tio see—Mr. —Bletzman,” she. announced In a low tone, and that individual was about to take her outstretched hand when he was roughly pushed out of the- way and .a -tall, muscular figure stood between him and Mrs. Gates. “Lucille,” repeated John Gates, forcing her to meet his gaze,, “you have no business —here —this —place.” “What in the —,” Bletzman started to splutter, edging himself toward the couple, but again Gates pushed him aside. ~ “Come. Lucille." he urged, taking her hand, and leading her toward the door “Out of this —den. This is not for us. I came —as I know you did—to get—a—divorce.”—He brushed his free hand across a feverish brow as if to wipe away an awful vision. “Come, this is not the mill-for us. Let’s —go —back to Lochinvar---to peace. Let’s be happy as we were before I came tp the city. We —” “Do you know you are interferin’ with my busine?®?” demanded Bletzman. In a seething rage. “This lady wants tysee-—” “Me,” John finished Bletzman’s sentence, restraining his clenched fists with an effort. “She wants to see me,” he repeated. “Do you get that? And she will —exclusively —for the rest of her life —if she wants to.” And then, as if the mighty Bletzman were no more than a troublesome beggar, Gates swung around and faced the trembling little girl he had promised to love, honor and protect. “Don’t you, Lucille?” .. As she nodded her head and buried her face in his sleeve, John led her into the corridor. He slammed the door and then* breathed deeply. “Even here the Jir is foul,” he growled, putting his arm around her. “Come, let’s hurry. We’ll get the.3:2o train down. Dinner will be ready for -us when we get there.” e —the office Bletzman stared dumfounded at the closed door, then, shrugging his shoulders indifferently, ambled tovyard Pete’s desk. “Why didn’ y’ show ’im in quick?” he roared at Pete.* “Couldn’t y’ tell he’s th’ kin’ that think twice? If I’d seen him. I’d fixed it.” Then he turned savagely toward the waiting “Next!”

TUNIC IS TO BE GIVEN A TRYOUT

know when the ronic started Its career Ytnmamehtal fashion 1 In the, clothing of the hunufti race, but no one has stated the exact date with an at"tempt at accuracy, according to a prominent fashion authority. There are many Who believe that. it was the first garment worn by Adam and Eve, when they realized that clotting was (c be a necessity t<> tlicir species. The tunic really Jollowed the mantle/and from Elijah to William I of England is a long, long spell iff his-tory,-but we know that the former wore a mantle and the latter a Junie.. Julius Caesar occupied a place in the sun betweea these- tw», 4hh he wore a toga. Beau Brummel brought in coats and George IV, picturesque as he was ; in his cos turnery, blazed the path for the ugliest clothes that the men on this planet have ever worn. The tunic'was a masculine fashion, as most garments are that women think are their own. The critics of this generation fall upon women and smite them hard for their fripperfes-j and caprices ? of their clothing, and yet these critics ' are men who do not seem to 4 realize that all the centuries of progress of the male part of the human race were given over to caprice and brilliancy in apparel, as well as to defeat and victory in arms. . War and the Primitive Tunic. No doubt the clash of arms In ; France brought back to the minds of i the designers the long centuries of | warfare that had' preceded the peace since 1870. The tunic was the fundamental part of the British warrior’s costume, and the cuirass—that glittering breastplate of steel and highly polished metal —waa the symbol of all = fighters. So France introduced the tunic of that other and primitive warfare which she thought had gone forever, and suddenly found one August morning that it had come to her with all the cruelty of the early centuries. She did her best to enforce this tunic Into the fashions of other countries, but with small measure of success until late this autumn. After steady persistence, a trick she has in the making of all her forms of art, the least of which is fashion, she found that America had suddenly awakened to the comfort and beauty of this garment. It is difficult to persuade American women to go without shirtwaists. They borrowed the idea of a wash shirt from man, as they have borrowed all their fashions, and they felt, and rightly so, that there is an element of cleanliness in putting next to the skin throughout the day hours a garment that can go to the tub. The tunic does not go to the tub, and the only way to keep ft entirely fresh is to wear it over a long-sleeved muslin lining, which many women do. Practical and Ornate Blouses. The tunic and the outside blouse are one and the same thing. You may call

ft a cuirass, or a blouse with a peplum, or a Chinese sacque, or whatever name suits your fancy- The elemental fact is that the fashionable blouse of today hangs from shoulders to hips. It may be girdled; it may not. Its sleeves may be- cut according to the fashion of William I or they may be after the manner of Dagobert of France—long and xyrinkled to the wrist. Building on this foundation, the designers in Amterica and Parts have thrown caution' and economy to tlje winds and accepted, this new blouse in such an extravagant manner that they seem to be making up for-that time when they let it rest nejglected in the dark corners. “The cables from Paris insist that coat suits are much smarter than onepiece frocks for the woman of fashion and her followers, but here in America,

even with the impetus given to tailoredsuits in the earlyautumn, the penduluni appears to have swung back to one-piece frocks and luxurious wraps of fur and velveteen. Probably with of early spring, with the southward bound tourist, the coat suit will regain the prestige of October. If it does, thfse extravagant, short, medieval tunics will have a high chance for development. In the interim, they are worn not only with heavy tailored suds, but as tops to separate skirts. Can Be Made at Home. It is in this department of dress that they are most brilliant. ' There are some dressmakers who feel that smart women-will no longer order entirefrocks if the enthusiasm for these brilliant accessories grow in strength. However, there is no reason for despair in that, for the tunic blouse, as it fs displayed at this hour, is no mean thing to make and no poor thing to purchase. Its fabric and the ornamentation put upon it bring the cost well up beyond the average purse. But the

best part of it Is that the amateur can make these things at home, for they have nothing but straight lines and are built from loosely hanging widths of the material. And yet there is danger in the work of the amateur, especially if she is guided by- this hasty description, for it is the tunic of the Conqueror that is in fashion, not the smock of the Russian moujik or the gorgeous coatof the Arabian potentate. The widths must outline the figure, and they must cling to the hips, and the armholes must be cut with precision and perfection. The whole attempt of fashion today is to throw the figure into a sharp outline, and we 'must watch that tendency if we would keep abreast of whatis happening and cultivate our vision to look ahead. There is no reason for women to cry aloud over the extravagance of some of the new tunics that are offered, for these may be copied in’simple fabrics. Leather Buckskin Brocade. Here are a few of the most extreme short tunics that are sponsored by good houses in Paris and America. First, there >are the blouses of leather, which Were shown in America a month ago, with and without sleeves. They came out with the leather top coat and the service coat of peltry and leather. As a rich sister to the practical leather blouses are those of colored buckskin, made in deep pink and embroidered all over the surface. These are worn with long, narrow black and seal-brown velvet skirts. The metal tricots are also used. They are reminiscent of the early centuries of warfare. They are cut on the fashion of the Conqueror’s tunic. Tunics That Will See Active Service.

As opposed to these gorgeous specimens of tunics that never were worn by William the Conqueror or any of the medieval warriors, there are practical ones in brilliant wool jersey.' In -France they are~ weffirtng'theiin iu cob ors taken from splendid-hued flowerg. Crepe de chine is a good fabric, and all manner of velours, suede cloth and knitted wool are turned into these tunjcs. They are not somber or demure.
