The kimono sleeve is a graceful detail which every day grows more insistent, while th?? collarless neck, devised for fair youth ?loni>. iss th<> privilege now of almost all ages. The sleeve short at the elbow, or a few p ^|P inches below it, is absolutely necessary tor a dressy effect, and the very , dairies themselves seem to be responsible for the few inches of Kiiimpe and underaleeves that appear, so del- ' lente are they in texture. , \pro|)os of those feminine details, the woman who i.s clever with needle and thread may turn out almost any i nov 'lty and have it in fashion.

The loud effects once observed in waists?when sleeves were big and gaudy colors admired? are things of the past. The smart bodice, whether shirt waist or a more drossy affair, must have a certain chaste simplicity. You may call the quality maidenly, but if you know what is what you will understand that thid appearance is only achieved by j the utmost art. j A draped waist of the sort shown j in the illustration, of course, is made j in some thin texture, suited to the folding about the figure and to the elegance of the model. Chiffon, marquis t veiling, cnirton-satin, mossaline, | mouss-line, etc., are all desirable maI terials. There are also many airy i fabric;; of a cheaper sort which, com' bined with the right trimmings, ' would turn out a dainty waist of this kind with considerable dash?and among these may be recommended cotton and silk jacquard, cotton voile, and (lowered muslin. As pictured the waist is of chanteclcr red chiffon, and an edge of the same about the decolletuge of the chemisette. This detail itself is of white mousseline, and the lace is of a dull gold tinsel.

LI. and the winner of a prize In oratory, he brought with hlui two well developed ambitions. One of these?perhaps the one most fondlv cherished?wn? tn make himself so essential to the future of Jessica Haight that she could not build an air castle that did not include hlni as an occupant. He believed that he had already made considerablo progress toward the attainment of this premier ambi tlon, and it inspired him with a robust determination to bring about the speedy realization of the other. That other was the iuextingulshnble desire to serve his country as >f\int*rjcan representative In some foreign port?to bo appointed to some consulate on the long list beginning i at Iiondon. This latter ambition was | something ho had acquired at college, where he had specialized with direct reference to a future connection with Uncle Sam's diplomatic and consular service. From the first his scheme to Interest Jessica Haight in himself and his plans worked admirably. His campaign was so well ordered that she capitulated without going to the trouble of making even the conventional show of resistance. Although his easy victory did not Come .*!? n CltmPlon ?- - ? ?? erly elated; it would enable him to devote his undivided attention to the promotion of his remaining aspiration. Hesides, he had secured ;i very energetic ally in the young woman who had professed herself willing to follow hini to the end of the world. Jessica's opportunity to become active jn tlie matter came immediately. Judge Enoch Haight, her father, was the one man in New Thebes who could, if he would, exert a powerful . influence In behalf of Adam's candl- | dacy. Although the judge held no I office, it was understood In New The- j bes that, despite the changes brought ( about by civil service reform, he was j still a power in tho political world. 1 quite enough ko to land a consular appointment had he thus elected. He was not so minded. Jessica was brought to a sudden realization of the fact at her first attempt to make him a party to the pretty scheme which slio and Adam had devised. Sho had spent a Rood deal of lime In thinking up a diplomatic introduction to the business, but when tho moment came she couldn't recall a word of it and came out bluntly with a request that something handsome in tb<> consular line be done for Mr. Hazeltlne. "Mr. I Iaz?dt Inn'" ho "with amazement written all ovor his | usually placid countenance. "What ! Hazeltine?" And then It occurred to the fair ' promoter that there worn at least j three families of that name within i the limits of New Thebes. "Why, Adam, of course," sho ex- I plained. "Why of coarse?" he asked, with i no apparent modification of his aston- j ish men I. And now she recalled tho fact that her father had been pi von no opportunity to become wise as to the honor which Adam proposed to j confer on him. It was a trying ; situation, but r.ho was a young woman of courage and far too well I iicquainti d villi her father to stand in awe of him. "Oh, I .supposed you worf inter- : nstcnl in him," she answered, with . an excellent imitation of indifference, which did not deceive the judge for an instant. "You used to think him very I bright, yon know " "lie's outgrown it," ho returned ( grimly. "Very likely," she admitted pla cidly. "Still, he's spent years and years In preparing himself for the business, and 1 shouldn't think you'd | like like Like what?" he interrupted impatiently "I.iko Interfering with his career.

A to Paiigo LD PRIME lociateU Literary Press manded an accounting. The Judge told the story from beginning to end and found in his partner a sympathetic sharer in the humor of the situation. "Your Ilttlo girl's all right," he chuckled gleefully. "Hadn't you better let nui get something for the boy?" i\oi on your lire!" Mr Williams was startled almost Into seriousness. He tried It, but ho couldn't recall another occasion on' which his dignified partner had mado use of such an expression. "Why, why?" he stammered. "Boy's all right. Isn't he?" "Couldn't bo better." "All satisfactory to you, isn't it?" | "i'errectly." The eongres3inan throw his clgnr | stub out of the window, tilted his | chair against the wall at an angle I that would have boon precarious for one less expert and folded his arms. "I don't know anything better," he said, dryly, "than to quote from your speech to Jessica. Here goes: 'I am a lawyer of average intolli- J gence?' " "Hold up!" broko in thn judge. "Give me a chance to say that it's my turn to do a little trick and I want you to help me." Whereupon he proceeded to unfold u wiucn appealed so strongly to his partner's sense of humor that ho promised to co-operate in its development. A few days later there came to Adam by mail a franked notice to the efTed that he had been named as consul to Pango, and that his confirmation was a certainty. At last tin* coveted prize had been drawn. Pango? Where was Pango? It didn't worry him a little bit, because he couldn't place it. Pango ^was the entering wed go that assured his entrance Into the world of diplomacy. "ciiir u woman, jessica was more curious. Adam confessed that he had always been regrettably lame In geography ; that, for aught he knew. Pango might be In tins AntliKxles, provided it was not in Michigan. Jessica scouted the idea of Michigan, but was not so certain about the Antipodes. "Why didn't w? look for it on the map?" Adam asked with a sudden inspiration With the big atlas of thr world spread open on the lifjrary table, they began the quest of the elusive Pango. It was by no means a disagreeable task, but it proved to be fruitless. Pango eluded their combined vigilance; Pago-Pago there was; and a number of other names that might have been Pango, but weren't. "Never mind," said Jessica, tiredeyed, but undismayed. "We'll go anyway." "Perhaps your father may happen to know." suggested Adam, lamely. "Don't ask hint. Don't a.sk anybody. I'll manage tt. Listen let me tell you something," she said exritedly. "There isn't .mv Punim i?:n>n and Tom Williams are trying to hoax us. It's just as clear to mo as I <la> light.
