COMBINE DIAMONDS AND ONYX Fashion Now Reflects Mode of Black and White Which Is Seen in Dress. 1 The diamond la generally chosen for engagement rings because the legend Is that It strengthens the love of a man for a woman. The fashion now h to ally It with onyx, reflecting the mode of black and white which is Been In dress. Since onyx is supposed to have a cooling effect on lovers. It is well to have its influence counteracted by diamonds for those who are superstitious in regard to Jewels. The Fparkle of the diamonds against the black surface of the onyx Is striking and this combination Is seen In many articles of Jewelry. A handsome brooch Is made of a large oval onyx, with an interesting deslgu of diamonds net In platinum worked in It Hatpins are made of it. too; a ring of onyx with a tiny band of diamonds crossing ! It where It Is Joined to the pin. l or pendants It is somtflnies cut In little squares and alternated with square diamonds. Cigarette and flat vanity cases are made of-silver, striped with bands of onyx or white enamel and onyx. Often pearls are added to this combination, enhancing the effectiveness without disturbing the color scheme. One way to tench aliens English I to deprive them of foreign language papers.

DAME FASHION SAYS That many of the smartest new eults have extremely long coats. That Paris shows' n decided liking for simple suits of homespun cheviot. That crepe de chine is smarter than ever. Crepe de chine gowns are trimmed with Jet beads and delicately touched with embroideries In wool. That chiffons and georgette crepes are no longer beaded and embroidered, but depend upon fragile laces for the small amount of trimming which they receive. That medieval Italy has a hand In the mode. Its influence is felt In the low waistlines which appear on many frocks and in the long, tight sleeves with turn-back cuffs. That there Is no trace left of the white embroidery upon dark fabrics which was so popular during the past season. There Is virtually every other conceivable combination of colors, however. That a prominent designer has made a new dinner gown of black Charmeuse which depends only upon Its cut for the trimming. A petaled skirt Is topped by a sleeveless blouse. The effect of sleevelessnes's Is counteracted by n modest little round neck. That the peasant has a decided Influence on tho mode. Especially Is this seen In the vogue for elaborate embroideries. The peasant embroideries from Roumania. Poland, Greece, Czecho-Slovakla, Syria and Arabia quite outdistance the more aristocratic embroideries from China and Persia.

Last Night's Dreams What They Mean

DID YOU DREAM OF CROSSING A BRIDGE? NEARLY aU authorities agree that to dream of crossing a bridge indicates success In business. If you dream that the bridge is in bad condition and that you are warned not to cross it, and yet do cross it. Is a sign that you will rapidly go onward to success. If you have any difficulty in getting across your dream bridge, and yet do so, it means that you will successfully overcome obstacles thrown in your path. Simply to aee a bridge In a dream means that you will soon be called upon to exert yourself to get the better of some private difficulty or business obstacle. But don't fall off your bridge of dreams wake up before you do that. However, If you should fall off, or be pushed off, or be forced to leave the roadway to avoid being run over, If you support yourself by clinging to the structure it Is still a good sign, for It mjjans the overcoming of difficulties on the road to success. Only one authority can be found who regards it unlucky to dream of a bridge; i he almost unanimous verdict is the other way except that you should t fall entirely off the structure. In that case, or If the bridge collapses under you,1 beware of false friends.

THE FISHERMAN

I By DOROTHY A. BALDWIN. (. 1I2L br McClur Ntwapapcr Syndicate.) "Hallo, young man !" said Mr. Wentworth heartily. "You've come Just In time. This Is a ripper of a thunder shower, isn't It? Here's your cousin Ralph, Marcia," he added, turning to his daughter. 4Do come away from that window, child. Dick will come Just a3 soon if you don't watcbfor hlraP Ralph's face darkened. "Oh. Dick Winthrop here, Is he? Still think he's worth marrying Mar-cla?-"Dick came two or three days ago," said Marcia, Ignoring Ralph's thrust. "He and Uncle Joe went down to Stevens brook this afternoon. Uncle Joe's delighted to. have someone to share his enthusiasm ovc-r trout fishing." Ralph's eyes narrowed. "I do wish they'd come. .They should have been here long ago," she added. "What a terrible shower this isP There came a blinding flash of lightning, followed by a terrific cnuh of thunder. Then the front door was flung open and Marcia rushed Into the hall. "Thank goodness, you've come? Dick!" she cried. "But Where's Uncle Joe?" "Heavens! Isn't he here? We got separated at the brook! Kach playing a trout, you know." Dick looked up quickly at the sound of the voice. "Oh, hallo, Ralph! Say. It's a mighty good thing you're here. Get Into some togs quick and come back with me to hunt." Involuntarily Marcia remembered Uncle Joe's will, which was to leave two-thirds of bis property to her In cast of -her marriage. If he should be dead, it would mean that she and Dick could be married without waiting the few years Dick would need to earn enough In his profession fo support them. Marcia Instantly dismissed the thought as unworthy. She loved her uncle, and she and Dick dfd not want to profit by his untimely death. Ten o'clock struck; then eleven, then twelve. It was of no use to think of going to bed. Sleep would be Impossible. Dawn came. Then, Just as the clock struck five, the three men returned alone. "Couldn't you find any trace of him?" cried Marcia. "We found a decided trace," said Ralph, quickly, looking hard at Dick. "Look at these!" and he held out to the startled girl her uncle's handkerchief, covered with blood, and an open Jack-knife. "We found these lying together below the bridge. That's Dick's knife." Marcia uttered an invpluntary exclamation. Then her head went up. "Well, what of It?" she said, defiantly. "Dick loaned him the kidfe, ami he accidentally cut himself with It." "Oh, very likely." said Ralph, with biting sarcasm. "Dick knew about your uncle' will, and he Just thought he saw a good chance to benefit by it, that's what! We'll Just turn this young man over to the sheriff." v Marcia looked imploringly at her father, who shook his head sadly and looked away. "Dick," she cried. "It's not true." I know it!" "Of course it Isn't, Marcia. Things will clear up before long. If we could only rind your uncle!" "You never willr unless you choose to find his body," said Ralph significantly. Dick's face 'flamed. He balled Ms fists and made a quick step toward Ralph, when the door flew open and In walked Uncle Joe! "Don't stare at me as If I were a ghost," he cried. "Did you think I was lost for good?" "Uncle Joe P gasped Marcia. "Where have you been?" . "Over at Ezeklel Johnson's, sound asleep! Sorry to have worried you "Rut how?" began Dick. "It's ten miles ever there!" "Why, you see, I went farther than I thought after that trout. When the shower struck, I found myself near the road. There wasn't a shelter in sight, but Johnson happened along Just then and offered to take me to his house. I tried to telephone you, but the wires were out of commission. When the storm kept up, they offered me a night's lodging and said they'd bring me home bright and early this morning. "I should say you people had been beating the brush all night, by the looks. Hold on, Ralph! Don't run oft before I've had a chance to thank you P , "I think Ralph would like to go Irai mediately," said Marcia Icily. "The strain must be wearing on him!" Uncle Joe stared at Marcia In aston1 lshraent as Ralph slammed the door J behind him. Sparing no details, Marcla told him the whole story. Uncle i Joe chuckled. I "That's the trouble my cut finger caused I Thought Dick was after my money, did he? Well, I'm not going to have any suspicions like that around asaln! I'll tear up that will of mine and give you the property now, while I'm alive. I don't need It to live on, and Pd like the fun of seeing you enJoy it. j "Now, no thanks 1" he added, hastily. a Marcia and Dick both started to speak, "and there's Just one condition : that you two shall marry each other at once." . .

STREET GOWN OF BLUE CREPE

This extremely modest street gown was developed by a Parisian designer. The fabric is moroccan crepe and of blue crepe, soutached with gold braid. A belt buckle of cloth, cut in srt antique design, completes the ensemble. EVER POPULAR TUB DRESS Fabrics of Washable Variety Are No Longer in Class With HighPriced Luxuries. There seems to be no reason whatever why every woman should not be daintily gowned at comparatively small cost this' summer. Fabrics of the washable variety, whether cotton or linen, are no longer in the luxury class, and certainly style designers have offered a splendid range of .attractive styles. A frock of two materials Is one of the excellent examples of smart simplicity offered this season. It may be white or plain color linen with cretonne. This type of dress Is cut on the simplest of lines, buttons sensible und comfortably in the center back, and is of the one-piece variety. The cretonne is used for collar and cuffb and to form a girdle effect at either side. White organdie and gingham in a half-Inch cheeky In blue and white, red and white or yellow and white, are frequently combined in dainty summer frocks. This combination is also worked out in some very pleasing blouses' for wear with white tub skirts. The major portion of the blouse Is usually of the organdie with pipings, belt or girdle and collar, of gingham, Instead of using the sheer material as trimming for the heavier fabric. CORRECT FOR THE LUNCHEON Bisques' and Bouillons Should Be Served in Two-Handled Cups the Latest. Bisques and bouillons are the correct soups for luncheons and should be served In two-handled cups (the newest form is the two-handled cup which is very shallow and broad known as a "cream soup cup"). The use ol bouillon cups at dinner or of soup plates at luncheon stamps the hostess as ill-informed. Roast beef or mutton may not be offered as the hearty course at luncheon; chops, croquettes, patties, birds or broiled chicken are correct. A formal luncheon may be started with a fruit course of berries, grapefruit or melon ; or with a cocktail of mixed fruits; or with clams, crab meat or oysters. BRIEF FASHION NOTES Drawn work 'on light frocks is a very popular form of decoration. Double stitching is used as trimmlug on tailored serge suits. Plaited flounces are used on sleeves us side panels and as tunics. An effective mode is the hanging of loose panels from a low waist line. Swagger coats have high-buttoned necks and narrow fitted shoulders. Among new fabrics for evening are 'self-tone brocades and beaded nets. Ialllettes In square and oblong shapes are in much demand for evening p.owns. Taffeta for hats is used In a combination brim of the taffeta and a crown o( leghorn. Plaid and striped ginghams are, being used for warm weather separate skirts for both children and grownups. The "handkerchief drapery Is one of the new Ideas evolved to bring about the uneven line at the skirt edge so much favored this season. To terminate with ostrich H-k the long ribbon streamers which fall below the skirt of the dancing frock Is the very latent. These tips may match In color with the dress or may be in vivid contrast. 'Many lace dresses have skirts In deep, overlapping flounces; other models show lace draperies and almost Invariably the lace falls here and there below the edge of the underskirt, making a soft, shadowy effect above the inkles.

You can't say anything, can you, Tom, but you're purring like a music box." A sudden knock sounded at the. door, was followed by a girl's voice. "It's only Molly. Aunt Win." Then when the frail little lady drew the bolt, the young voice exclaimed: "Why, I never knew you to bolt tho door at this time of day. Are you sick?" Molly rushed across the threshold, gave Aunt Win a hearty hug. then .looking at the table In the living room. I with its barely touched food, said: "You must be slck for you have not eaten a mite for linner." "Sit down, child," Aunt Win answered quietly, "I was just talking with Tom and wondering what ;h" matter was with me." "That was a tip-top sermon. was;.'t it. Aunt Win? It just made mo s!t up j and take notice, but you didn't need to take it to heart," Molly said, patting her listener's cheek. "Dear child, that's just It! Of course," Aunt Win explained, "when It conies to making a haf of cake or knitting, to help my church I do my mite, but " a pause emphasized by the solemn ticking of the tall clock, and then, "but, Molly, when It's a case of dollars and cents I haven't any to give, and yet I love my church and what it stands for as dearly as anyone in this place. Why shouldn't I: It has helped me when everything was swept from mo. ami isn't that a tost? I have found my faith lit to live by and expect to Vie by it when my call Comes." "Perhaps this dreary dark day !:as upset you," suggeried th girl, "loir you aren't ever bine. Let's pile on tli. wood. Oil. these beauty andirons! You polished them yesterday. I know." A sudden gleam Uitted across the shining tops and seemed to bring an Illuminating thought to Aunt Winifred. She choked back a sigh and half sob, then sank into the nearest chair while Molly put on fresh logs. In a trembling voice the little lady said: "These are very precious andirons, they are more than 100 years old and were given. t ;ay great-grandmother in payment for teaching laria Ilussey's children at Cent school. "Cent sclio -IV" repeated Molly In surprise. "What on earth was a Cent school?" "That was long before your generation, dear, when little children were taught tho tljree Rs by dear old ladies and carried their cents in corners of their handkerchiefs to pay. I set my eyes by these andirons." She murmured as if alone in the room, "Can I do It? Can I make up my mind to do it?" Molly glanced up suddenly at AuntWinifred. Was she Just right in her mind? she -wondered. "Oh, don't worry, I'm not out of my head, child, but these andirons have preached me a sermon, too. Do you know Mrs. James has been wild to buy theni, and row I've made up my mind I'll sell them for $15 would you, !say?" . "Fifteen? nothing of the kind. Why!" exclaimed Molly, "you're not a bit of a trader. They are worth $oO. Rut, oh, dear, how can you part with them? What will you do without them? How kep warm?" "Have a fire In the air-tight and forget them. Fifty, do you say? Then," Aunt Win added breathlessly, "I'll pire ?."0 to my church and $20 to the Red Cross in memory of our Will, dear, dear boy !" Then fell the first tears as Aunt Win's thoughts sped across the seas to a lonely grave In the Argonne. "I just hate, dear Aunt Win, to have you give them up," murmured Molly once more. "Sh not a word! I'll just go to work and rid up these dishes." "Yes," Interrupted Molly, "and If you really mean It I'll have John take them over to Mrs. James this afternoon or tomorrow." "No, no, the quicker the better!" Aunt Winifred bustled around so briskly that Molly felt the spirit of the hour and said: "I'll slip away now, before John goes for the afternoon." She appreciated the situation, and by 4 o'clock the andirons of blessed memories no longer shone on the hearth, but In Aunt Win's hand at the close of the day lav n chck for $50, and wiping nwuy the unbidden tears she murmured : "More precious than my andirons Is my Faith, and all that it has meant to me and mine."

BARRIE'S GUEST By JACK LAWTON. 4 1 For days Rarrie had ridden the ! lovely trail obsessed by a hunger for j companionship which he bad never j heretofore known. Kven the gruff, 11j literate guide, whom he had left fur ; below, would now be welcome. And 1 as Rarrie traveled his lonely paths, he wondered If the clue which led bin to this desolate spot might not be fnUt nftpr nil. In a snirit of enthu siastic confidence he had offered his service in seeking out the supposed ! defaulter of the bank, in which his j own father was president. j Detectives, it was proven, had been at sea In their suspicions, and Rarrie, in a moment of Inspiration, had put 1 his finger mentally upon th- culprit. ! and then had offered to taUe an adj venturous trip to the far mountains, , where Glen Gordon was supposed to be hiding. j GItn Cordon had served faithfully for many years In the bank where Rarrie, under his father, was employed. And when Glen Gordon's name was furnishing the sensation of city dallies. Gordon himself complete- ; ly disappeared. t As Rarrle's father in a last hope of proving his old employee's honesty had provided necessary ball, the ' flight was more distressing. Rut now Rarrie feared that the clue, given by f an old servant of the Gordon's, had been misleading, and his own offered j service useless. . Then, far above In a clearing, the 1 young man beheld a small cabin; j smoke came from. Its chimney, and j Rarrie eagerly pressed his horse for1 ward. The sight of human habitation was nt least comforting. And as be . approached, a young woman turned, j At sight of her, Rarrle's eyes reflected ) the astonishment of her own. Rarrie broke the silence. "Reg par- ! don," he said. "I have traveled far, j without finding a resting place. May ; I rest here? And, perhaps, trespass ; further upon your hospitality In ask- ' ing for food? A class of milk or a piece of bread would be gratefully , received." When she reappeared at the door of the cabin bearing a light table, l'.arrle hastened to relieve her. carrying It at the girl's direction to the shelter of a tree. 5harpness was still in the air, and he would have preferred Indoors. Rut when his enforced hostess came presently, she carried a basket of cakes and cracker-sandwiches and a pot of steaming tea. And as she served him, Rarrie noted the soft whiteness of her hands. ! "It Is unusually good fortune to enI Joy the hospitality of one of my own 1 country women In such a desolate place," be said. The girl, with an enigmatical smllo, ignored the suggested question, j "When you feel refreshed you will kindly ride on jour way," she returned. j "I'm afraid," Rarrie said decidedly, "that before I do so I must gain that 'information for which I carne. l am ; trying to locate a Mr. Glen Gordon, i being the bearer of news to Ids ad vantage." Though the girl's face paled, her blue eyes regarded steadily the selfimposed detective. "Mr.' Gordon is not here," she replied. "You may search the cabin, If you wish. I occupy it alone." Rarrie stared, then laughed Incredulously. "Alone In this wilderness?" he exclaimed. "Now, why you do that?" The girl gathered up the tea cups. "I have answered you," she said. "You are the first living person whom I heard speak In two months." Over her shoulder she nodded to him. "Good night," she said meaningly. Rarrie did not search the cabin; but when he was again upon a lower level he looked up nt the house In the clearing, and he saw the girl wave white cloth, giving with it three distinct signals. Then Rarrie saw a man's tall figure so the girl had lied, as he suspected. lie rode on to Intercept the man, and as the man came Rarrie recognized the one for whom he sought Glen Gordon, trapped and frightened. The older man's ghastly face turned crimson as the young one. alighting, clasped his hands as the bands of n friend. "It's all right" Gordon realized the young man's words at last "I cam to tell you that we are aware of your Innocence. I was lucky enough to hit upon th guilty devil, and be confessed Rains, your . assistant. Rut look here, man: why did you run away? You must have known that It would come out right?" , Inarticulate, tears rolling down his cheeks, Glen Gordon stood. Then be drew a paper from his pocket and wrote v "It was nerve shock; lost my power of speech; wanted lo run away from the papers the suspicion everything. And Julie came with me Juliet, my daughter. She was bound they wouldn't find me to take ine back. So I've camped on the ground, in the thick of the brush. Hut she said the truth would come out, and It has. Rarrie, my boy. come with me up to the cabin to Julie. We will all go back together." And as Rarrie led the old man on toward where a girlish figure waited In the sunlight, he was thinking not of the success of his quest, but of the light that it was hü tot bring to a jrlrl's Lrave bluo eyes
