Military Models Are
Favored at Burgess
Nash Style Display
The Burgess-Na'sh company pre-
ented an authentic fashion display
f the fall and winter styles in the
own-stairs store Tuesday. Dame
Fashion's latest whim was exhibited
by living models on an especially
rccted stage.
A number of charming frocks were
displayed in satin and wool jersey,
which are the prevailing textures
this season. These were in tan,
brown and burgundy, the three lat
est colors. The lines of the new
dresses are longand straight, and
many have the panel effect both
back and front. The long tunic is
again very much in vogue. The
style of these frocks is found in the
severely tailored lines; however,
trimmings of fringe and wool em
broidery are permissible.
The "Sammy" model is the most
popular of all models among the
coats. It is an exact model of an
officer's trench coat. It is khaki
colored and made of army blankets,
which the government would not
'accept because the material was not
woven tightly enough. There is
also a coat on display which is a
copy of a French officer's coat. It
is of blue-grey, and with it was
shown a hat of the same material
with a saucy military pom-pom in
the front. This outfit was worn by
Angelina Sepin, a French girl, whose
father was killed at the beginning of
the war, fighting for France.
Black is the prevailing color of
the hats. Still .there are many in
the popular burgundy and brown.
Hatter's plush and velvets are the
materials that most of the hats are
made of, and the once popular os
trich tip has again come into its own
and constitutes the most stylish of
trimmings.

CHAPTER XIII (Continued.)
"And you consider yourself en
gaged to both John Smith and Stan
ley G. Fulton?"
"It sounds p'retty bad, but yes,"
blushed Miss Maggie.
"And you must love Stanley "G.
Fulton just exactly as well no, a
little better, than you did John
Smith."
"I'll try to if he's lovable." Miss
Maggie's head was at a saucy tilt.
"He'll try to be but it won't be
all play, you know, for you. You've
got to tell him what to do with those
twenty millions. By the way, what
will you do with them?" he demand
ed interestedly.
Miss Maggie looked up, plainly
startled.
"Why. yes. that's so. You vou
if you're Mr. Fulton, you have got
And I forgot all about those twen
ty millions. And they're yours, Mr.
Smith t"
"No, they're not Mr. Smith's," ob
jected the man. "They belong to
Fulton, if you please. Furthermore,
can't you call me anything but that
abominable 'Mr. Smith?' My name
is Stanley. Yqu might er er
abbreviate it to er er 'Stan' now."
"Perhaps so but I shan't,"
laughed Miss Maggie "not yet. You
may be thankful I have wits enough
left to call you anything after be
coming engaged to two men all t at
once."
"And with having the responsibil
ity of spending twenty millions,
too."
'Oh, yes, the money!" Her eyes
began to shine. - She drew another
long breath. "Oh, we can do so
much with that money! Why, only
think what is needed right here
better milk for the babies, and a
community house, and the streets
cleaner, and a new carpet for the
church, and a new hospital with "
"But, see here, aren't you going
to spend some of that money on
yburself?" t demanded. "Isn't
there something you want?"
She gave him a merry glance.
"Myself? Dear me, I guess I ami
I'm going to Egypt, and China, and
Japan with you, of course; and
books oh, you never saw such a lot
of books as I shall buy. And oh,
I'll spend heaps on just my selfish
self you see if I don't! But, first
oh, there are so many things that
I've wanted to do, and it's just come
over me this minute that now I can
do them! And you know how Hill
erton needs a new hospital." Her
eyes grew luminous and earnest
again. "And I want to build a store
and run it so the girls can live, and
a factory, too, and decent homes for
the workmen, and a big market,
where they can get their food at
cost; and there's the playground for
the children, and
But, Mr. Smith was laughing, and
lifting both hands in mock despair.
"Look here," he challenged, "I
thought you were marrying me, but
are you marrying me for that con
founded money?"
Miss Maggie laughed merrily.
"Yes, I know; but you see" She
stopped short. An odd expression
came to her eyes.
Suddenly she laughed again, and
threw into his eyes a look so merry,
so whimsical, so altogether challeng
ing, that he demanded:
"Well, what is it now?"
"Oh, is so good, I have half a
mind to tell you.1'
"Of course you'll tell me. Where

lhink"
Miss Maggie meditated; then, a
little tremulously she drew in her
breath. She lifted startled eyes to
his face.
"Why, you'd have to tell them that
that you did ft for a test, wouldn't
you?"
"If I told the truth yes."
"And they'd know they couldn't
help knowing that they had failed
to meet it adequately."
"Yes. And would that help matters
any make things any happier, all
around?"
"No oh, no," she frowned de
spairingly. "Would it do anybody any real
good, now? Think of that."
N-no, she admitted reluctantly,
"except that that you'd be doing
right.
"But would I be doing right? And
another thing aside from the mor
tification, dismay and anger of my
good cousins, have you thought
what I'd be bringing on you?"
"Me!"
"Yes. In less than half a dozen
hours after the Blaisdells knew that
Mr. John Smith was Stanley G. Ful
ton, Hillerton would know it. And
in less than half a dozen more hours,
Boston, New York, Chicago to say
nothing of a dozen lesser cities
would know it if there didn't hap
pen to be anything bigger on foot.
Headlines an inch high would pro
claim the discovery of the missing
Stanley G. Fulton, and the fine print
below would tell everything that
happened, and a great deal that did
not happen, in the carrying out of
the eccentric multimillionaire's ex
traordinary scheme of testing his
relatives with $100,000 apiece to find
a suitable heir. Your picture would
adorn the front page of the yellow
est of yellow journals, and "
"My picture! Oh, no, no!" gasped
Miss Maggie.
"Oh, yes, yes," smiled the man im
pertuibably. "You'll be in it, too.
Aren't you the affianced bride of
Mr. Stanley G. Fulton? I can see
them now: "In Search of an Heir
and Finds a Wife.' 'Charming Miss
Maggie Duff Falls in Love With
riain John Smith.' and "
"Oil, no. no," moaned Miss Mag
gie, shrinking back as if already the
lurid headlines were staring her in
the face.
Mr. Smith laughed.
"Oh. well, it might not be so bad
as that, of course. But you never
can tell. Undoubtedly there are ele
ments for a pretty good story in the
case, and some man, i with nothing
more important to write up, is bound
to make the most of it somewhere.
Then other papers will copy.
There's sure to be unpleasant pub
licity, my dear, if the truth once
leaks out."
"But what what had you planned
to do?" she faltered, shuddering
again.
"Well, I had planned something
like this: Pretty quick, now, Mr.
Smith was to announce the comple
tion of his Blaiscleil data, and, with
properly grateful farewells, take his
departure from Hillerton. He would
go to South America. There he
would go inland with a few native
guides and carriers, but no other
companion. Somewhere in the
wilderness he would shed his beard
and his name and would emerge in
his proper person of Stanley G. Fttl
ton and promptly take passage for
the states. Of course, upon the ar
rival in Chicago of Mr. Stanley G.
Fulton there would .be a slight
flurry at his appearance, and a few
references to the $100,000 gifts to the
eastern relatives, and sundry specu
lations as to the why and how of the
exploring trip. There would be
various rumors and alleged inter
views, .but Mr. Stanley G. Fulton
never was noted for his communi
cativeness, and, after a very short
time, the whole thing would be dis
missed as probably another of the
gentleman's kell-known eccentrici
ties. And there it would end."
(Continued Tomorrow.)
he aske discontent-
are you going
edly.
Miss Maggie had left the sofa, and
was standing, as if half poised for
flight, midway to the door.
"I think yes, I will tell you," she
nodded, her cheeks very pink; "but I
wanted to be over here, to tell it."
'"Way over there?" ,
"Yes, 'way ovef here. Do you re-
ago, and the call from the Bo"Ston
lawyer, that I I wouldn't tell you
about?"
"I should sav I did!
"Well, you know you you thought
they they had something to do
with my money; that I I'd lost
some."
"I did. dear."
"Well, they they did have some
thing to do with money.
"I knew they did I" triumphed the
man. "Oh, why wouldn't you tell me
then and let me help you some
way?"
She shook her head nervously and
backed nearer the door. He had half
started from his seat.
"No, stay there. If you don't I
won't tell you."
He fell back, but with obvfous
reluctance.
"Well, as I said, it did have some
thing to do with my money; but
just now, when you asked me if I
I was marrying you or your
money "
"But I was in fun you know I
was in fun!" defended the mat
hotly.
"Oh, yes, I knew that," nodded
Miss Maggie. "But it it made me
laugh and remember the letters.
You see, they weren't as you
thought. They didn't tell me of of
money lost. They told mc of money
gained."
"Gained?"
"Yes. That father's Cousin George
in Alaska had died and left me
$50,000.
But, my dear woman, why in
heaven's name wouldn't you tell mc
that?"
"Because." Miss Maggie took a
step nearer the door. "You see, I
thought you were, poor very poor.,
and I I wouldn't even own up to
it myself, but I knew, in my heart,
that I was fr-id, if you heard I had
this money, you wouldn't-iyou
wouldn't ask me to to " f
She was blushing s adorably now
that the man understood and leaped
to his feet.
"Maggie, you darling!"
But the door had shut Miss
Maggie had fled.
CHAPTER XXIV.
That Miserable Money.
In the evening after the Martin
girls had gone to their rooms,
Miss Maggie and Mr. Smith faced
the thing squarely.
"Of course," he began with a sigh.
"I'm really not out of the woods at
all. Blissfully happy as I am, I'm
really deeper in the woods than ever,
for now I've got you there with me,
to look out for. However success
fully John Smith might dematerialize
into nothingness Maggie Duff
can't."
"No, I know she can't," admitted
Miss Maggie, soberly.
"Yet, if she marries John Smith,
she'll have to and if she doesn't
marry hi.n, how's Stanley G. Fulton
going to do his courting? He can't
come here.
"But he mustn't!" Miss Maggie
looked up with startled eyes. "Why,
Mr. Smith, you'll have to tell them
who you are. You'll have to tell
them rijht away."
The mun n de a playfully wry
face.
"I shall be glad," he observed,
".vhen I shan't be held off at the end
of a 'Mr.'! However, we'll let that
pass until we settle the other mat
ter. Have you given any thought as
to how I'm going to tell Cousin
Frank and Cousin James and Cousin
Flora that I am Stanley G. Fulton?"
"No except tftat you must do it,"
she answered decidedly. "I don't
think you ought to deceive them an
other minute not another minute."
"Hm-m." Mr. Smith's eyes grew
reflective. "And had you thoughW-as
to what wguld happen when I-did
tell them?"
"Why, n-no. not particularly, ex
cept that that they naturally
wouldn't, like it, at first, and that
you'd hae to explain just as you
did to me-j-why you did it."
"And' do you think they'll like it

ILA LEE, the new star of the
Paramount company, has fin
ally entered into the moving
picture life she's bought a pet leo
pard. For a while it looked as if
Miss Lee was going to get by with
out any of the stunts of a real movie
actress; she was advertised as merely
a simple, pretty little girl with a
real talent basis as the reason for
being on the screen. She worked
a couple of months without any
stories, being sent out about stub
bing her toe and none of her fifth
cousins went to war and gave her a
chance to get her name in the pa
pers. Now, however, watch us close
lv, for we expect this pet leopard
will chew up at least $3,000
worth of gowns a week; he
ought to be good for at least one
biting and scratching contest why
here he is already in the paper with
Lila's name attached.
For two weeks, with the assistance
of the location man, the director
had been looking for a type. He
wanted a derelict. No half-starved
extra, willing to make up to repre
sent anything for $5. He must have
an out-of-the-ordinary piece' of real
human wreckage with a "tragic
something" in his face. He had
looked vainly at hundreds of un
shaven, evil hobos about the city.
Then they had roused him out
early in the morning to go and
look at a prospect. The bullett head,
u.ikempt hair, scarred, unshaven fea
tures, and dirt, dirt, dirt, besides
that "tragic something" proclaimed
his type.
He had given the man a dollar
and extracted from him a promise to
be at the studio at one o'clock that
afternoon.
That afternoon in high spirits
the director entered the studio lobby
and looked around.
Someone detached himself sud
denly from a bench and came for
ward. The director looked at him.
It was his precious type. But the
"tragic something" was missing
AM18EMENTS.
General Pershing himself sent to
this country the material included
in "America's Answer" the second
official government war film, now
showing at the Brandeis theater.

Mabel Montgomery Recovers
After Long Suffering
By Taking Tanlac
"No one could see the wonderful
change that has taken place in ouf
little daughter during the past few
weeks and doubt lanlac being a
grand medicine," said Mrs. H. W.
Montgomery, residing at 2701 Bris
tol street, Omaha, Nebraska, re
cently. "Mabel is now 13 years of age,"
continued Mrs. Montgomery, "and
had suffered terribly for five years.
One of her troubles was inflamma
tory rheumatism. Her feet and
hands would swell very badly and at
times she couldn't walk. She had
no appetite, suffered with frightful
headaches and iry place of growing
she seemed to be losing ground. She
was often in bed for several weeks
at a time, and we had to keep her
out of school all the past year. She
was a very sick child and' although
we spent lots of money for medi
cines, nothing seemed to reach her
trouble, and we had begun to think
she would never get well.
"One of our relatives urged us
to give h?r Tanlac and now vou
wouldn't take her for the same
child. She has actually gained
thirty-four pounds and looks the
picture of health, and to all ap
ances is perfectly well. She never
complains of an ache or a pain nor
a disagreeable symptom of any kind.
She is brimful of life and ambition
now and enjoys Hf-3 and play like
other children. Soon after she be
gan on Tanlac her appetite came
back 'and she increased in weight
so last mat we were astonished, and
the swelling, pain and headaches
gradually disappeared. She is now
able to enter school aain and we
are more than grateful for what
Tanlac had done for her. I have also
taken Tanlac for loss of anpetite,
poor digestion and nervousness, and
it has done me a world of good. I i
feel fine a'l the time and am glad 1
to say all I can for Tinlac."
