THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIDUNE. NORTH PLATTE. NEBRASKA. r What the Bride flfe GEM of n dress is shown here, in this copy of a French model by one of the greatest of those de signers who have vindicated the art and precedence of Paris. This three piece dress, mado by Kurzman for Miss Wilson, makes almost no de parture from the original design which inspired it. Corboau, or raven's bill blue, which Is so dark as to bo near black, and 80 clear that it is a fascinating shade, is tho color. (It seems to be suited to the materials used, which were gabardine and charmeuse. The bodico Is made of dark blue chiffon over white. Over tho shoul ders are braided straps of gabardine, and tho belt Is made) of gabardine covered with 12 raws of narrow silk braid. Tho bodico opens over vestee and collar of white organdy edged with a roso and greens-flowered rib bon border, fastened In front by three ribbon buttons. The sleeves are lon; and mado over white chiffon, ending in a wide cuff of 16 rows of narrow black braid. Tho short skirt is mado of gabar dine and has three circular flounces starting at tho sides. These are fast Casque and French THERE is such an unsettled btate of affairs in tho matter of styles In colltures that no particular manner of dressing tho hair may bo said to bo THE fashion. Hut one sees, with greater frequency than any others, two styles. One is "tho casque, " and one is tho "French twist." In tho latter tho hair is usually placed high on tho head. In tho group of coiffures pictured hero two modifications of the casque colffuro and ono of tho Trench twist are faithfully portrayed It is notice able that tho side parting is udopted in all of them, and that two of the three aro waved and the third is ab solutely plain. When the hair Is fairly nbundant the unwaved colffuro is liked for those who are given to dancing tho modern and somewhat frolicsome dances. It Is easier to keep tho colffuro In or der, It seems, with the hair plain and unwaved than with the adoption of a more elaborato style. To keep It fluffy, without too frequent washing, it may bo treated to a bath of orris powder. This fs a sort of dry-cleaning process for the hair which leaves It easy to manage. It Is not a thorough-going cleansing process like a wa ter shampoo, but may be used to make tho shampoo necessary at longer In tervals. Tho powder Is rubbed Into tho hair and scalp and then shaken and afterward hrushod out until no trace of It is left. In passing. It Is to bo noticed that the fad for dancing has brought In & entirely new colffuro which shows Went Away In . ened at tho back with a strap of gabardine, attached to which are four small black silk tassels. Tho flounces nre attached to corbeau charmeuse and about one rnch of this shows be tween them. The flounces and tho bottom of tho skirt are edged with black silk braid. Tho coat is a combination of the gabardine and charmeuse. The front Is of, tho charmeuse, which extends over tho shoulders and upper part of the back.' It Is gathered In at tho collar. Carrying out the idea of combining the two materials, the three-quarter sleeves of gabardine are topped wjth charmeuse. The edges aio bound with flat silk braid. There in a soft girdlo of gabardine ending In front with nn oval charmeuse buckle. This quiet-looking but really elab orate costume is of that fashionable type which has replaced tho moro se verely tailor-made. It is a gown that presupposes many things in tho way of luxurious traveling and may be taken as a model of an afternoon or visiting gown of cloth which will an swer many requirements. Twist Coiffures the hair brought hack from the fore head and coiled at the back, with tho colls either of twisted or braided hair. A spaiso fringe about the faco Is curled In ringlets, and theso are pinned to the hair back of them. Thero is no small pompadour or other soft ar rangement about tho face, In this style. It leaves tho forehead, except for tho small ringlets, qulto bare. To do the hair in tho French twist Is simpio enough. All tho hair la combed back to tho crown of tho head and twisted into a lengthwise roll extending from tho napo of tho neck to tho top of the head. This lengthwlso coll Is pinned down with out pulling tho hair tightly back, bo as to lenvo It soft about tho face. Tho ends nre arranged on top of tho head in puffs or colls; or If tho hair Is "short, they may be curled and pinned down In a mass of pretty curls. In tho casquo colffuro tho hair, either waved or straight and parted or not parted, Is arranged llko a cap over the head, with the ends turned under and pinned In so that they aro lost sight of Tho style, thorefore, Is difficult for anyone with long hair. When tho hair Is parted at ono side for this coiffure tho ends aro brought to tho opposite side, tucked under and pinned In Tho usual An ion, at tho lino whero tho pinning In Is dono, Is a long shell comb or a Spanish comb. The Spanish comb used with tho French twist Is qulto tho latest and smartest Item in hair dressing style. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Kiriioio SCOLDING BY PROXY By JOHN KENT. Mrs. Ilclman nud her daughter ex changed glances aftor the doctor had left the house. Daisy was the first to spoak. "Now mothor, dour, don't you worry about tho medicine! I know wo enn afford; it" "Dear, how can wo?" interrupted tho delicate llttlo woman on tho sofa. "Dr. Witherbeo admits It's a very expensive treatment, but ho is positive that it will relievo my troublo to that 1 shall really bo of use In tho world again." "As if you wore not tho greatost use In tho world to me just ns you aro thoro oit tho sofa? What would I do without you to como home to at night?" asked tho girl passionately. "Mother, l'vo thought of tho loveliest plan to raise the money nnd you aro not to nsk a word about it, and don't w orry ! " Mrs. Helman raised herself to . a sii- ,, . , ,, , . .i. i ting posturo and Daisy put another , imiun UUU1I1U I1UI. "Iet mo tell you somothlng, dear, and it may savo you troublo and some mortification Don't go to jour fa ther's half-brother about It Anthony bears an old grudgo nnd would not help tno If I was dying." A pink flush came and went in her thin cheek. "Mother!" gasped Daisy. Daisy's ono hopo had been Anthoiiy Hush, rich and childless. "Why did he bate you so?" whispered the girl after awhile. "Heeause I married your father In stead of hlui," said Mrs. Helman quietly. "Oh! And ho holds revongo after all theso years? How contemptible ho must bo!" "Ho is a hard man." "Never mind, dear, I will get the medicine, somehow. I can got the llrst prescription filled tonight the powders." "Very well. As soon as you return we will go to bed you must be very tired." Tho next day Daisy Helman went to her work In n downtown law ofilco, un icfreshed by a night of sleepless toss ing. How to get the money needed for her mother's mediciuo .puzzled her. Thero was not a relative to call upon no money in tho bank since her fa ther's sudden death a year ago, ai.d no valuables which sho could pawn to gain the necessary amount. Daisy was the sole support of her mother and their tiny flat was the best that she could afford. 'I will como home with tho medicine tonight, mother," Daisy had promised. All day long that promiso haunted Daisy. Sho had promised her mother how could she fulfi! thnt promiso? On tho way home sho decided to' ap peal to Uncle Anthony. What if ho did snub her? It was for her mother's sake Sho could bear anything for her. Mr. Anthony Hush sat In his private office frowning at tho calendar which glaringly spaced off tho remaining months of the year. Anthony Hush was soured at he world ho had frowned at it for so many years that he had forgotten how to smile. Ilia expression did not change yhen Daisy camo timidly in, having been preceded by her card. Anthony Hush did not arlso at her entrance, nor did ho evon deign to turn his head in her direction. "Well?" he barked out. "Undo Anthony," began Daisy trem glingly, "mother is very ill and I need help I'll pay it back to you, every penny, if you" "Save your breatli! snarled An thony, rudely. "Your mother camo to mo for help a year ago I told her then that if sho had married mo, all of my money would have been at her ills - posal. As It is, she chose the spend thrift and must abide by tho conse quences." Daisy said not a word She vanished from tho room and never caught her breatli until sho had reached the lower corridor of tho big olllco building "How I hate him!" she cried passion-1 ately. "I wish I had told him so H will now!" She stopped Into an empty tolephono booth, picked up tho dlrec-1 tory, and with eyes blurred with tears, i sought and found the name of Anthony Hush. ! At tho satno time Daisy Helman was ' telephoning to her Uncle Anthony, tho telephone bell jangled in n pleasant studio, not fur from Washington square. At tho sound a big young man roused hlmsolf from n deep chair and picked up tho receiver "This is Anthony Hush," ho said pleasantly A girl's sweet, Indignant voice camo to his astonished eats i "Uncle Anthony, this Is Daisy Hel man. I have Just reached tho lower ' floor of tho building ufter my hateful j Interview with you. I want you to ' understand that 1 never would have asked help from you for myself, hut tho thought of my dear mother suffer ing, perhaps dying, for lack of neces sary remedies, drove mo to pocket my pride and appeal to you. You refused, and I want to tell jou that I think you aro the moat cruel, heartlesB, do testable, bolllsh old man In tho world. I'm glad mother didn't marry you In stead of futhor I don't wonder why bho refused you. You'ro a perfect bear and I hate you, thero!" The connection broke suddenly as a receiver clicked at tho othor end of the wiro Anthony Hush, the landscapo paint or, was left stnrlng foolishly into thu mouthpiece of his tolephono. "Well. I'll bo hanged," ho muttered ns ho returned to his chnlr. "That's tho worst blowing up I over had and. by Jove, It wnsn't meant for mo, after all! Tough luck that Undo Anthony, whoover It Is, didn't got It right In his ear' I expect ho deserves It. Any old codger sho called him old who could so anger a pretty girl I know she's prettj deserves a good rip." Ho picked up the tolephono directory nnd ran his linger down tho column. Next to his own nnmo was that of another Anthony Mush a broker In tho Woolly building "That's tho old duffer," ho said, no ting tho number. "I've heard of him rich as can be. Let mo soo, didn't Dol Poterkln tell me that he nsked old Anthony ono day If ho was rolutod to his namesako. Anthony Hush, tho land scape painter? Ho did, and Dol thought It a treat joko bocauso tho old man snarled that he'd rather claim kinship to a prosperous house painter than a starving artist! Ho must bo an old teaser!" Tony Hush changed Ills coat, put on his hat nnd wont down to the Woolly building. When ho was admitted to ,. . . .. i. .1 l"u j'"nuiii:u oi me inner iviuuuuy ,, ,1(j fomd Btudylng his card with mingled Impatience and curiosity "Some beggar trying to claim rela tionship with me," muttered old An thony, whoso conscience was still ten dor from his Interview with tho timid llttlo dark-eyed girl whom ho had scared out of his presence. He was scarcely prepared for the appearance of a young man, well dressed, well groomed, and qulto un uounl looking for the Woolly building. Tony stated his business at once. "I wondered If you could supply me with the address of Mrs. Helman," he asked, pleasantly. "Lydla Helman? I don't really know let mo see, I had the girl's card hero a moment ngo." Ho searched mound among tho papers on his desk, found Daisy's card, and tossed It over to the young man.- Tony copied tho address Into his notebook and arose to go. "Thank you lor this information," ho said, with a keen look at tho unhappy old face. "I happen to know Mint Mrs. Helman Is very ill and in temporary distress; I am axious to do something." Anthony grunted. "Any. rolatlon?" ho askbd. "None." "Ever mot tho girl, Mnrguerlto?" "Never saw her in my life," truthful ly replied Tony. "Spiritless llttlo chit I could have admired a spitfire!" Anthony remembered tho flery mes sage he had received over tho wire and chuckled. At that Instant tho door opened breezily and Daisy Helman camo hur rying In. Sho did not see Tony Hush and he could not guess her identity until she spoke. "Oh, Undo Anthony, I am so sorry tor what I said to you over tho tele phone! You must think me very rude and ill mannered mother would have cried if sho had known it. I simply had to como back and toll you how sorry I am and beg your pardon for tho dreadful things I said " Mr. Hush put up a protesting hand. Tho hand shook a little perhaps bo causo he noticed lor tho llrst time how llko her mothor sho was. "My dear, I don't know what you're talking about," he said with strango gentleness. "You didn't bay a word after I icfused to help you, and I rather wish you had. As for a telephone message, what are you talking about?" Daisy was looking at him in nniazo ment. "I went right downstairs and telephoned up to you and culled you mean and cruel and lots of things! Don't you reniembcr?" Anthony Hush's oyes twinkled. "My telephone bell has beon silent for three hours," ho protested. At that moment his glance met the betraying ones ol Tony Hush, who had lingered near the 1 door ToI)y camo forward at onc. "I beg your pardon, but I'm afraid that your message camo to mo Instead of your uncle. My nnmo Is Anthony Hush, too " Daisy turned red and palo, whllo Undo Anthony laughed until ho cried, and young Tony, who had received the hcolding by proxy, tried to keep his lips straight, but ho couldn't, and when the laughter camo Into his oyes Daisy Uuglied, too, and the spell of einbar iassniont wns ovur. "Young man, I owe you something for taking that scolding for me," i buckled Uncle Anthony, when Tony turned to go away. "How can 1 pay it?" Tony spoke In n low tone with a quick 'glanco at Daisy, whoso eyes were fixed on the rooftops below. "You can repay tho debt, Mr. Hush, by relieving Mrs. Hclman's distress As the messago camo to me, I was go ing to do what I could anonymously unless ou prefer to attend to It your self I'm suro you will. 1 will." said Anthony gruffly, "Hut I haven't repaid ou yet," ho said with a quizzical look In his eyes. Tony blushed and hesitated. At lust, with a glance at Daisy's graceful form, he said, doubtfully: "You might Introduco mo to your nieco! That would repay mo u thousandfold." Six months later Dol l'eterklu met Tony Hush autsldo tho studio door. "So you'ro related to old Anthony Hush after all! Head all about the wedding In tho paper. Congratula tions!" "Yes. wo'ro related," admitted hap py Tony. "Ho'h my Btop-grout-unclo-in law'" i uirli'it 1811. by 'li.

All the animals wanted to know which could run faster, and they arranged n race. But tho rabbit was caught trying to cheat, nnd so tho beautiful horns which they hud mado as a prlzo for tho winner were given to !iQ honest deor. Tho rabbit said to himself, "I must got even with tho deor for taking tho horns," and so ho fixed up a plan. First tho rnbblt stretched a big grapevine as thick as your arm across a trail and gnawed it with lilu sharp teeth until it wns almost cut In two. Then ho went back on tho trail a llttlo distanco mid mado a running jump nt tho vino. Ho did this again and again, and finally tho deor camo along and asked him why ho was doing It. "Can't you seo?" said tho rabbit. "I am so strong, nnd my teeth aro so sharp, that I can bito through that grapovlno at ono jump." "Well, I'd llko to seo you do It," said tho deer, who didn't bollevo what tho rabbit had told him. "Watch, thon!" said tho rabbit, and mado a groat Jump nnd bit tho grape vino through Just whoro ho had gnawed it before. "If you enn do that I can, too," said tho deer.
