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

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.

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

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

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

Six months later Dol l'eterklu met
Tony Hush autsldo tho studio door.
"So you'ro related to old Anthony

Long timo ngo, tho deer had no

was the rabbit. 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

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
