| Elected to Smartness
v/
By KLEANOK GUNN.
Tho vote of women, when it comes
to fabrics, results in the election of
plain over printed materials. Re
ports of many brocades may appear
to give a certain vagueness to this
statement, but regarding fashions
by daylight, the impression is that
prints have lost rather than gained
during their year or more in power.
Plain surfaces are broken by ap
plique, embroidery, beading and
sometimes by printing, but fashion
ists do not look forward to a spring
gay with prints, as was the case
last spring and summer here and
abroad.
The greatest transformation, how
ever, has to do with tlie substitution
of a sheen for a dull finish, applying
to a certain extent, to cloth as well as
silk. Broadcloths flic satiny In sur
face and flannels and cotton broad
cloth have a certain smoothness. One
lather credits tho Parisian success
with alpaca to the creation of a de
mand for smoothness and for polish
Gone are the fuzzy tweeds and
sponRcllke fabrics of other seasons

Why Wild Surmises Flashed Through
Madge's Brain.
The wildest possible surmises
flashed through my brain as tjie de
partment manager of the children s
outfitting store aceosted mo by name
and asked me to step aside with heh
While I occasionally had shopped In
the store, yet I was not a familiar
enough figure there for anyone to
know my name. I* always had made
cash purchases and carried them
home, and I was sure that my iden
tity was known to no one. Yet the
woman's demeanor confirmed my
earlier fantastic suspicion that In
some inaner she had known before
hand of m.v necessary hurried shop
ping trip.
Surely the detective on the trail of
the Harrison children could not have
found out my plans! If he had—I felt
my respect for the apparently clumsy
and stupid man rise dizzily. The pros
pect of getting the children out of the
country without Interference from
their father’s family appeared to be a
very slender one.
Mechanically I followed the woman
to a partially secluded nook near the
window. There she turned with a
smile to which I forced an answering
perfunc tory one.
“You'll be surprised to know. Mis.
Oraham, that we've been watching
for you for hours," she began, and
I saw that she was rather dramatic
ally enjoying the task of astonishing
me.
“I don't understand that,” I re
plied, “for no one but myself and
two or three other people who I
know are not in the city today, are
aware that I meant to go shopping.
And no one but myself knows that
1 came here."
I knew, of course. Hint till* Inst
statement was not strictly the truth.
Alfred Dutkee knew where I was
hut unless things had gone terribly
wrong, he was busily engaged on
the others side of the city In trying
to get steamer passage for Dr. and
Mrs. Bralthwaite and the Harrison
children,
“You have a friend who Is a good
guesser," the department head re
plied. "She rarnc into the store a
few hours ago, and said you would
no doubt be in some time today for
just such emergency shopping for
c hildren going on a sea voyage as
you have just completed. She asked
me to have the saleswomen watch
for you and said thnt you were to
lie asked to wait for her. and under
no circumstances to leave the store
until she came hack. 1 believe she
Intended going to some of the other
Mores to hunt for you."
I stared at the woman In amaze
ment, then the thought of Bess Doan
flashed into my mind in w'ild fantas
tic surmise. Could Alfred have told
her — I almost laughed aloud at my
own folly as 1 remembered that when
Alfred left his office—and Bess—he
know nothing of mv errand to the
e ity save that I needed his aid.
Mrs. Bird—Harriet—rould some
thing, have happened which required
mv Immediate presence? Had one of
them followed to the city? That
pppmed to he the most plausible ex
pianatlon, yet there were absolutely
no grounds for believing that the
mysterious request and I remain at
the store, knowing that if I did so
1 should tniss keeping the appoint
ment T had made with Alfred Durkee
and Mrs. Bird’s driver, and on the
time of which I had so strenuously
insisted.
And then the realization of my
own absent-minded silliness swept
over me. Surely my wils had gone
wool-gathering. 1 turned In the Woman
smiling at me.
“Did ’my friend give her name?”
I asked.
"Oh, yes!" she said. "She told me
to tell you that—’’
Mrs. Baird!" The courteous voice

peremptory note in the well modu

from me instantly with a murmured.
"Pardon me a m note," and following
hi* beckoning finger stepped away
from a few- pare* and stood listening
tespectfully to some Instrurtoon,
which he was giving her. which ob
viously concerned some detail of the
establishment'* business.
1 bad hard work to keep from strid
ing after her and demanding the
name which her superior officer's
interruption had left unuttered. But I
rigidly curbed my Impatience, con
sulting my wrist watch, hoping
conspiring my wrist watch, hoping
that she would take the hint, and
ask permission to come back to me.
But long before her colloquy was
ended, a familiar voice sounded be

A Mistake
That some beauty lovers are making.
They are misled on “olive oil” soaps.
Do you realize, Madam, that “olive oil” soaps are ages and ages old?
But never has one, before Palmolive, brought comparable results to
the skin.
Palmolive Soap is a masterpiece, based on 60 years of soap study.
It is a scientific creation, made to bring new beauty to the skin.
Made to keep schoolgirl complexions.
Its unique results have led millions to adopt it Now it is made in
five countries, to supply the world-wide demand. It is made in France
because French women find in this their supreme cosmetic soap.
Soft, velvety complexions are many times as common as they
were before Palmolive came. Then don’t accept ordinary “olive oil”
soap, with artificial color, and largely animal fat.
Palmolive costs 10 cents—the price of most crude soaps. But that
is due to enormous production Palmolive has become the leading
toilet soap of the world. The only two soaps we know to compare
with it cost 25 cents per cake.
This warning is in your interest There is a way to keep youthful
complexions, and multitudes have found it But that way is not a
mere “olive oil” soap. It is found in Palmolive alone.
If you want a mere cleanser, many a soap will do. The name
matters little. But if you want more—beauty, youthful looks and
fine complexion—don’t be misled. All the world has proved Palmolive
the beauty-bringing soap. Let no one convince you, for selfish reasons,
that other soaps are like it They are not
