Economy in Wise Use of Dye Pot Renovating Fall Draperies Comparatively Easy Procedure. In the season of renewing fall draperies for winter use not all pocketbooks permit of Indulging In g purchase of new goods. If the drap eries are sound, but fa'ded. the prob lem is not too difficult. Change can be effected by use of the dye pot, eren If not in the hands of an ex pert. Or a cheap fabric In white can I be bought and colored To dye fabrics an even shade is not n matter to be dismissed lightly, If the goods are to bear the close scrutiny which Is accorded to dress materials. But curtains, partly be cause they hang In folds, and partly because the light behind them helps to distribute the color, can be suc cessful to a greater degree In ama teur hnnds. Soa;) dyes do not demand the washing of the material beforehand, but It is not a bud rule to follow, with all dyes, that material dyes bet ter when clean, or at least relieved of Its greatest burden of dust. A plunger, such as Is used In washing blankets, Is recommended. A wood en spoon or stick for stirring the goods In the dye pot Is needed. Excellent Instructions are to be found on the packages of dyes, but there are others, more personal which come only from the experienced. Wear an old dress, and a pair of stockings that can't he harmed. Dye Is sure to splash on them. 1/ your shoos are good, wear rubbers, as they, too, will get marked In trans ferrin'" the newly dyed fabric from pot to line, or wash tub to pot. Dip and dry a piece of the fabric before dipping the article. Have the right kind of dye for your goods. Curtains, if somewhat streaked, are not beyond use, hut if they come out actually different shades their beauty Is doubtful. To avoid this mishap get this feature of dyeing clearly In mind. A solution becomes weaker with every article dyed in It. Nat urally the goods fttkes up the dye, and any moisture In goods diminishes the strength of the dye. Make a larger quantity of dye than Is to be used on the tyrst pair or first two pair of curtains. Measure It, so many cups to the gallon, and throw away the weakened dye solution after the first lot is dipped. Mix the next quantity In the same proportion and use the same number of cur tains. IJe sure to give the dyed curtains clear line space. Have nothing near them they can mark. Dry them opened up, not folded over the line. Iron while damp. This process Is called "reflnishlng." One woman known to the writer re-dlps her liv ing room draperies a dark rich brown every year. She makes no work of It at all. ?. Hell Synillcnto. ? WNU Sorvlce.

Ghtpmu WNU B*ry1 o? SYNOPSIS ' On her way to a faculty position In Lostland Academy, Janet Mercer meeta Prof. Arthur Fleming. also on his way to the Academy. At the school the group la struck by an air of mystery pervading the place. Gordon Haskell, proprietor, welcomes them. Wilton Payne completes the Academy faculty. In a schoolroom Janet finds a group which the teachers had supposed were scholars, are wax figures. Haskell ex plains unusual circumstances connected with the oonduct of the Academy. Among thd pupils Is Berenice Brace bridge, daughter of the late owner of the school. The atory of the tragedy of Lostland Academy Is that of two sisters and two brothers of Berenice, who lost, their lives In the water, at the same moment, some years ago. The wax figures were modeled In the likenesses of the four children, and Doctor Bracebrldgs's will provided that they must bs preserved. Fayne learns from Berenice that the uncouth giant whom Janet had seen with Hask ell Is named Balder, and Is a valuable servant. From an old farmer, Jerry Moore, the only witness of the drown ing of the children, Payne learns par ticulars of the tragedy. He begins to take an Increasing Interest In Berenice, aa Fleming does In Janet. CHAPTER IV? -Continued ? 1 3 ? The head of Lostland academy seemed Inordinately fond of flowers, and. as Mrs. Denver came down a path to take the air, lie gallantly gathered a bunch and handed them to her. She took them shyly, then her face lighted up with pleasure as she saw the quar tette approaching. Balder In the dis tance rested on his hoe and watched the scene. The evening wind was blowing cold from the lake and n moaning began In the pines. Payne noticed a black glove lying on the white gravel of a side walk. The wind grew wilder. All at once the hell hlgn up in the belfry struck one note. Has kell started violently, und Mrs. Den ver almost dropped her flowers. Berenice said: "1 am sure It Is Mother Martha, Guardian. You know she likes to think the boys and girls are coming back to school." remember the rope does run down through the end of the passage where she lives. 'But 1 didn't know she had strength enough In her old hands to pull the rope. Wilton, what do you think of our chrysanthemums? I can't do much here ? but these plants take care of themselves." Again the bell sounded. Balder ceased to stare at them and resumed his work. "Some one has dropped a glove," Mrs. Denver remarked, and picked it up. "It's Mother Martha's," said Ber enice. "Look, Janet ? may I call you Janet? ? she knits these black gloves herself, and puts them on ? " Haskell frowned.- "Now, Berenice, don't reveal your old nurse's eccentric ities." "It Isn't nn eccentricity to mourn ? Is it? She wears them on the anni versaries of people's deaths! What can it be today! Ah. 1 remember ? my brothers and sisters!" Haskell turned with a kind of an ger to Janet. "There, you see I did what 1 could to divert her mind ? away with sad anniversaries, I say! I hope you will be happy this evening! (*o Into the library, build a fire. (Jo down Into the kitchen and make fudge. I'll tell the cook you are to have any thing you like. Wilton, ire you too grave a psychologist to make fudge?" Wilton was thinking he had mis judged Haskell, who certainly had his problems in managing an estate so freighted with old tragedies and tra ditions and so Involved with the fu ture of a girl as charming as Ber enice. He approved Haskell's etTort to keep this anniversary from the girl's mind. "You'll come, Mrs. Den ver t<> this, party?" "Indeed I will!" she answered heart ily ; then in a lower voice, "May I walk a little with you. Mr. Payne? 1 want to ask you something." "Have you seen the lake?" "No." He turned In that direction. She came along gratefully, huddling her rather worn coat of Hudson seal about her and glancing from time to time at her companion's face. "How we all' walk here/ It seems as If everybody hated to he Indoors. You are a psychologlnt, Mr. Payne. Tell me what Is wrong with this house?" "Ah, you've been thinking too much of theae? - figures of the old. ?ad story." She lowered her voice, looked about her cautiously. "It's a story that's not finished ? " "Are any stories ever finished?" be salrf gently. % "It's not finished! You'll think me strange ? I have m feeling we were brought here to finish It- ? we? uncon querable four!" "I'm glad you Include yourself. It means you'll stay." "Yes. I'll st/iy ! I want to go but I'll stay I I'm afraid of Bal der, of Mother Martha, of the prin cipal with Ills queer bright eyes; but I'll stay!" At the door wldch led Into the base ment he left her ? and descending the moRfty stone steps he found himself In the, passage where the wax figures were lodged. A new keyhole contain ing a key had been let Into the door. lie heard some one on tho base ment stairs, and stepped Inside the room beyond that in which were the *jr*x figures. As a further precaution he stepped Into an empty closet the room contained. By leaving the door ajar he could see the other door and the passage. Haskell entered swinging the new key Iq^ his hand. He looked about a moment, spied a loosened brick In the fireplace, drew it out, thrust the key In the aperture, and locked It up again. "Balder will never find that," he muttered. Payne waited until the quick foot steps died away, then he stole out feel ing like a criminal, but sure, never theless, that he had a legitimate cuil oslty In this matter. Haskell's putting on the new lock seemed nutural enough, however, us a protection to the figures from the Idle eyes and fin gers of the day scholars or from Bal der's apparently linplsh desire to play tricks with them. Finding Arthur in his bedroom smok ing the black pipe which was his dar ling, he related the recent circum stances, winding up by a retrogressive process with the account of his visit to the Moore farm. "Do you believe that old farmer'? story?" "Yes ? why not?" "He was the only witness of their deaths ? "? "And their drowned bodies?" "That's so! l always forget they are burled in the little graveyard. They seem so Intensely alive I expect them some day to come upstairs and Join my scholars." "Haskell does, too ? Judging by the new lock. Do you know what thought was In my mind down at the old church ?" "'I lit* same that was In mine, 1 sup pose ? that Haskell In the dim light thought Berenice ? " "Kxactly. she Is so like the younger ot,e ? Isabel ? that it is startling. Has kell was frightened ? plain frightened. I hope he won't come In to our festivi ties this evening. But 1 am afraid he will !" "1 believe, Wilton, he's jealous of your growing Influence over Berenice. She likes you, and there's nothing would please him less than ? " "And myself more. If your sharp eyes have also discovered that 1 am devoted to Berenice Bracebrklge, 1 shall not deny it." "Janet? and 1 both think?" "I am comparatively poor ? and shs is rich, or will be." "What's the odds, if you are fond of each other." "The important thing now is to pro tect her." "From what?" "That's Just It," Payne answered helplessly. "I don't know what tho danger Is ? but there Is a danger. I feel It In those black basement robins, In the stiff sad drawing room, In her own fear of the place as If she were only safe sitting close -to little Isabel or with her arms about Althea or Norman. Why did you start so?" "het's go down !" ^ ou cant take your pipe down stairs." "1 hate this room ! Come along." At dinner, Payne asked Cordon Has kell some questions about the old house. After dinner, continuing in the same strain, he Inquired: "Was Arthur Fleming's room ever assigned to the boarding pupils?" "No. Why do you ask?" "I was Just wondering. It's a verj nice, large room." "It was young .lethro's for a great many years; then the four children used It tor ii study room. Berenice had It for a while, but gave It up She said the furniture creaked sol All old furniture does!" "Yes, Fleming , says the furniture crea ks." The evening plans Included first the making of the fudge in the great bar ruck of a kitchen. The cook, and the rather sullen young man who had brought up their trunks, were seated near the range, and watched the pro ceedings with unfeigned Interest. The old man who had driven the car up wandered in and began to upbraid the other servitor for his matchless In- j competence. "Ah, shut your mtmth ! Nobody told I me to paw thfit wood. Balder's Job? ! not mine." "Much chance I'd ha\e for kindling from that greiit lummox ; always hang ing around where he ain't no business to be!" "Oh, well, he's teacher's pet. He could set lire to the old rat trap and HaskeM would say nothln'." Payne vlinost let the great Iron spoon drop tn the pan of fudge h? was tftlrrlng. Janet and Berenice, picking meat from hickory nuts, did not raise their heads; nor evidence In ! any wny that they heard this colloquy of servants. They were deft workers. Arthur had a fleeting thought that all men contemplating marriage should ] see tho woman of their dreams once, at least, against the background of the kitchen. The candy came to perfection, and was put In a window to cool. The four, two of them feeling that they had renewed their childhood, went up to the library, where Haskell, true to his promise, had made a Are. Mrs. Denver was knitting a red sweater hy the light of one of the lamps set liberally about to overcome the gloom. She looked up with an air of relief as they entered. "I'm glad you've come. The ser vants seem to be all downstairs, and I can't get used to this big house." Haskell appeared In the doorway ? "All comfortable, all set?" "Won't you come In, Ouardlanr* TO J?? mNTlNU?l>. Swagger Furs Will Attend Game By CKERIE NICHOLAS TN REGARD to the swagger, *? swanky sports furs which will attend the football games, here's the newsiest of fashion notes ? a seven-eighths brown lupin coat with a lighter brown suede skirt. Fancy what a sensation In spectator row 'such a novel. and stunning com bination will create. Before telling further exciting news about football modes, we would like to stop long enough to say that suede is a new enthusiasm not only among sports fans but the loveliest of evening gowns are being made of this novel media. One such recently created In Paris for a leading American film star is of suede in that seductive "dusty pink" which is so flattering to most complexions. To continue with more football fash ion thrills, registering high in the list Is the suit that uses eel gray lupin for a swagger coat which takes unto itself a skirt, scaVf and belt (across front only) of wool knit in the new plno green which Is so widely acclaimed ibis season. Other refreshingly out-of the-ordlnary sports style items Include huge fur pockets, tiny fur cuffs, tuxedo revers of fur, the fur waist-depth enpe, which Is very important, also detach able fur vestees which keep you extra warm, high winds or no high winds. Which all goes to show that the new football and otherwise sports furs are making novelty their big appeal this season. For breath-taking novelty we cite the new suits which are fashioned of tweed In a tapestry effect (very new) that blends blue, red, purple, green and brown in indefinite stripes. Add a broad scarf collar and big pockets of brown caracul and go where you will you will sight nothing more eye-filling In the way of a sports spectator cos tume.

All sorts of muffs with wee muffs In the lend, also the new accordion mufTs so long and nar row, they crinkle up like the instru ment they are named for. The muff here shown Is a compromise between | the two. The wide fur cuffs and the generously cut sleeves are also ltnpor tant style features. The handsome coat centered in the group Is one that will quicken the pulse of any style-loving young modern. The large rolling collar and wide cuffs of dark gray I-'ersian lamb are wonderfully effective against the lighter gray of the kUbkln which fashions the coat. The dress of a plaid woolen In gay Mexican colors with green predominating and the felt hat In the new pine green la a perfect foil to the placid gray of the fur. A very wearable type of fur coat la shown to the right, being of a soft brown summer ermine which makes !t comfortable In the early not-too-cool autumn days. The pelts have been worked diagonally In the rippled loose back. The hat Is devastating. One glance at It and the wearer, and the ! conquering football hero will no longer be master of his fate.
