THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER, McHEXRY, ILL. % CLIVE ARDEN r.UIk?*ji*^ s••a"'jsjy?r v -" &'•*••••¥*'<'4>y-*.J-»£, '•...jCv>ir05Tif 3vi Copyright by 'Mia -^»rrltl T*o LOVE FINDS A WAY This Is one of the many "Two- ©n-an-I«l*nd" stories that have been popular ever since Charles Reade's classic. "Foul Play," was published in 1869. So, of course. It is a story of adventure, love-- and sex. Briefly, a young man and a young woman are wrecked In an airplane, land on an outof- way island inhabited by cannibals, and fall in love. The situation Is still further complicated by the fact that the girl Is engaged to a man in England and has been brought up among j»eo|>le who are strait-laced and narrow-minded beyond belief. But lo've finds a way--as It usually does--even' on cannib&l- ..Infeated islands. A • feature of the story, of course, is the study of the girl's mind and heart In her struggle between love and duty, with Mrs. Grundy thrown in for good measure. So it Is a story that a woman could write better than a man. The author Is a Englishwoman, Cllve Arden. Her Story Is not only her first novel, but a prize novel. It caused a sensation last year In England, has duplicated that success here and Is now being shown in moving pictures in various parts of the country, the picture rights having been purchased for a very large price. Quite an Interesting problem. Isn't it--two people In love, rescue improbable and no minister handy to tie the knot and transform sorrow to happiness! Mk PART ONE --1-- **i Little Notes I Darbury was a small parish possessing an old church, m combined $pst office and sweet shop, but-no ac- Jbal village street. " I As often happens with isolated peole and places, the little parish was pry self-important. The war and mo- <br traffic had tended to modernize the •ommunity; and the new freedom . JiBther went to its head. It was as yet J(ot quite sure of its line, though pain- Jally anxious to appear assured--one alf shocked at the other half's doings, iind altogether rather mixed. This had been apparent, a year ago, ^hen divorce had raised its ominous lead for the first time within the memory of living inhabitants. Divorces took place elsewhere-, of course, and :' IDarburyites read and discussed the •ewspaper accounts with avidity; but that such things should happen within their own fold, between people known and even liked by everybody else, was ^iftn unheard-of idea. The topic, thrilling in the press, appeared indecent in these circumstances. Although it was llajor Randall who had obtained the decree; and although his wife, Instead Jf offering a defense, had brazenly gone way with another man. yet most peo- 1 pie shrank from his society. As Mrs. Jltockley, the widow of the late vicar, jfogely remarked: "There are often two #des to these things; you never Snow.-' '•'£ Even the squire and Mrs. Rochdale. J^lndlifst of the "old order," began to tow a slight coldness. They placed e hospitable doors of Darbury house *jar, so to speak, instead of wide open. Illntlng to their only son that a little less golf with the major might be wise. But Hugh laughed at the hint, in his lasy-going way. "That's all his fu- Jieral. not mine"; thus he waived responsibility for the morals of the house Of Randall. A wholesome young Briton, Hugh would abominate shady actions. If brought actually into contact with Ijieni; but he lacked the imagination fa visualize what failed to interest him. His own purpose was single, his own heart fixed. Barbara Stockley, only illd of the late vicar, had filled it en- Irely, since the days of frocks and . perambulators. Growing up together, Inseparable, their engagement was a foregone conclusion. Nobody therefore #ad been surprised at its public an- •*---a*ouncement upon Hugh's return from j , tte war. ^ The wedding had been fixed for the following December. The happy pair were to live In one of the pretty modem houses at Hillbeak during the old squire's lifetime, continuing all their activities in Darbury as usual. Everybody would call upon them; and everything would be nice, respectable and conventional. But while everybody purred contentedly over this satisfactory romance, a bombshell exploded in their midst, launched by the heroine herself. Instead of spending the next four months amid dainty needlework, her mind oblivious to all save the prospective , bridegroom and the dressmaker she . shattered all traditions by announcing ' her Intention to accompany an atfnt Mr«l. Sit rwL'liiv'o . * Hugh, she learned, had been averse to the idea at first. Quite right and proper! He had also steadfastly refused to go too; and Darbury had agreed with the decision. That a man should give up the routine of autumn pursuits was unheard of . . . Besides, he managed his father's extensive property, and the harvest would soon be in full swing. Darbury. like Hugh, wasessentiully practlcal. . - • Great difficulty. It transpired over the tea Pups, had been experienced In overcoming Mrs. Stockleyvs objections. But as she, like many weak women, usually took refuge in tears when thwarted, little' direct" information was obtained; : However. Darbury persevered In its ferreting tactics, at last gaining a little more light. ^Irs. Field paid one of her brief visits to lier pretty house: and it became known, that she'had arranged everything. Everybody said "Oh-h!" In a-^ drawn-out syllable which expressed volumes; for Mrs. Field wj^s accustomed to doing extraordinary things, without bowing to convention. The aviator proved to be her cousin, Alan Croft, a man well known in aviation and in the engineering circles of many lands. After having swooped down v.pon England from Australia in a super-machine of his own design-- brilliantly achieving the long test trip with two passengers in addition, to his crew--^in influential firm had cabled agreement of purchase, pending an immediate, equally successful, return journey. So much they gleaned. But why or how Mrs. Field had* maneuvered for Barbara Stockley and her aunt. Miss Dolly Da vies, to be his passengers on the return journey, Darbury was left to conjecture, Mrs. Field being a woman who kept her own counsel - • - « A rumor soon grose that the aviator might be expected at the "House on the Moor,"- Mrs. Field's home, for the week-end. This, clashing with a coun- "That Won't Matter. He Is Only the Pilot." try fete at which most of-the Darbury- Ites were assisting, raised them to a state of unusual excitement. He might be there. ... II The Darbury feje, being in aid .of a hospital fund, was held in the grounds of a neighboring mansion, the winter garden of which was utilized for dancing. Barbara and Miss Brown were in, charge of the sweety and tobacco stall. After a morning spent in preparations for the fete, and an afternoon behind (he stall, Barbara was feeling unutterably bored. Then, suddenly, she was aware of a man's figure standing near; and knew, without looking up. that she was being intently scrutinized. "I think you are so brave to fly to Australia!" Miss Brown exclaimed. "And with a strange man, too! Doesn't Mr. Hugh mind?" Barbara laughed at this typical Darbury remark. "No! Of course not." "But suppose you don't like him?" "That won't mutter. He is only the pilot." Glancing up as she spoke, she gave an involuntary start at finding a direct, piercing look fastened upon ner. It was not the rude stare of a man who appraises women as if they were horses; rather did it seem to scatter nonessentials and to probe to the spirit within. For a moment her own eyes seemed held by a curious compulsion. At the same Instant Mrs. Field came briskly round the corner of the tent. "Ah!" she cried. "You are here first, Alan." Then, turning to Barbara, "I want to introduce you both," she. said, taking an arm of each. And Barbara, feeling uncoStaifortably self-conscious, too bewildered to do more than stammer n conventional greeting, was forced to lift her eyes to his. They were deep-set and gray like thwe of his cousin.'but lacking the tenderness which lurked In hers; the little lines at their corners, suWy betokening humor, appeared out of place. In her rapicf glance she was dimly aware *«f great height, broad shoulders and a. lean, deeply tanned, clean-shaven face. "Alan borrowed a car and turned up last-night." Mrs. Field smootl»ed over the Impending awkwardness; but at that moment some one called* her away. There fell a silence, which the girl "racked her brains in vain to break. She was somehow conscious of feeling acutely disappointed. This was the man who. to her inexperienced mind, had seemed a dim, unreal figure crowned by a halo of glorious achievement ! This the heaven-sent deliverer, •who, unknowingly, hnd offered that hidden self the one chance of stretching its cramped wings! Even If, as she had told Miss Brown, it did not matter. If was, nevertheless, very disappointing. V Before the pause became too uncomfortable, Mrs. Field returned and insisted upon having tea. On these occasions tea suggests a gathering of the - clans. All the little cliques of the neighborhood meet in the large marquee and discuss the news they have gleaned. , Barbara was detained at the entrance; and Mrs. Field looked at her cousin with kindly enthusiasm, when they found a vacant table. "Well, Alan?.Isn't she a dear girl? And pretty?" He responded indifferently; stooped down to tuck his pananra hat under the seat; then sat up and ran his fingers through his thickdark hair. * "D--d hot in here, Madge!" She glanced round apprehensively i then leaned toward him. "Alan, for heaven's sake don't upset any of these good people, or she may not be allowed to go, after all!" A smile of extraordinary Infectiousness lit up his face, transfiguring It: the lines of humor proved that .they were not, after all, misplaced. "Try a muzzle, Madge! How the dickens do I know what may upset the old darlings--" "Hush! Here Is Mrs. Stockley." The grim mask of reserve quickly covered his face again. The Darburyites, hearing that the stranger had at last arrived, soon clustered round for Introductions, anxious to impress him with their own intelligence. But, with Barbara, they were doomed to bitter disappointment; for this hero refused to be lionized, ahd declined to talk "shop." Their intelligent overtures left him unimpressed; no pumping drew other than the briefest trickle in reply. Slowly, to Barbara, the time wore • on. More and more weary of the monotony, sick of the smell of chocolate, she became consumed with restlessness. All the social world had left long ago. From the glass walls of the winter garden came the exhjJ^prtting, if garish, strains of dance nfusic, tantalizing in their infectious rhythm. Barbara hummed the tune, tapping her foot in unison, occasionally surprising her companions by performing a few revolutions round the tent. In the middle of one of these she halted abruptly, for a shadow had fallen across the rays of the sun streaming athwart the stall. "Come and dance with me," said Croft. Her face expressed blank astonishment. "Oh!" she exclaimed, confusedly. "1 --we--only the villagers usually dance here." "Oh, good lord!" The amused contempt In his voice made her flush. Then, conscious of having given a wrong impression of detestable snobbery, she felt furious with herself. "You never swerve from convention, I suppose?" he asked, watching her sensitive face in his disconcerting manner. Mrs. Stockley'8 half-sister, to Austra lia. Darbury gasped. But it gasped yet more upon discovering that the journey was to be made, in ultra-modern style, by, airplane. An Ordinary ship would have seemed at least respectable. The ostensible reason glyen war merely a visit to the aunt's colonial relatives. But. of course, evervbody knew better than to believe that; a deeper motive was needed to inspire such a risky wild-goose chase. Couia there be private trouble between the engaged couple? But the girl herself went about as usilal, only a suppressed excitement deepening the already deep blue of her eyes, bubbling out occasionally' into scraps of confidential speech which yet were no confidences *t al]. -Such an advartnc»l" «he exclaimed, when Miss Brown sought to probe to the soul of this problem. "The <m\» one 1 have ever had. There will never be such another chance." This from one who should have been deep in the adventure of marrlaff «! Mm Brown wsI'nAimk shocked. *X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X<>X*X*X*X*X*X4> She looked away, uncomfortably self* conscious. "I--Oh--" She gave an embarrassed laugh. An opening door brought a louder riot of music flooding In with the evening sunshine. "I--really don't know." Then some queer, psychological wave seemed to pass across the sweetstall. It brought a strange current of air from the great Unknown without, from towering mountains and deep seas scarcely dreamed of In this pretty corner of orthodoxy. And it emanated from the figure standing motionless before her, whose very appearance seemeo symbolical of freedom--the freedom of mind and freedom from petty tyrannies, which is only gained by depth of vision, breadth of outlook, contact with the forces whose existence was beginning to stir faint echoes within her soul. * ' "Come!" he exclaimed'suddenly, an undertone of impatience sounding in his word. f" ' V • •- "'Very well," she Sqid In a lowrvoice, "I will crime." \v He threw back his head a little, and smiled again. No modern affectation shdwed In Croft's dancing. He abandoned himself to the rhythm of the music, with an ease which swept the girl along In sympathetic exhilaration. She forgot the imperfect floor, the clumsy couples, the staring eyes, mere instinctive dislike of this strange man, and surrendered herself to the rare Joy of perfect harmony in movement. When, for an instant, she glanced up at her partner, she saw in his face a corresponding light which filled her with a momentary sense of fellowship. Afterward, 'I hey strolled out on the terrace, flooded in"the red gold of the setting sun. Barbara sat upon the low parapet. Croft flung his long legs over and drew out his cigarettes. Presently she found his glance fixed upon her. "Well?" he asked, without preliminaries. "What about our little trip? Have you counted all the risks?" "Risks? No ! 6r I might never get there!" His quick look of approval was lost" on the girl, as she glanced away with a laugh. "When there is a-chance of getting your heart's desire, would you count risks?" "No!" he ejaculated warmly. "That's my creed." From the determined lines of his well-cut tips, she judged this to be the truth. "But your 'heart's desire'?" he went on; "what do you mean by that?" She flushed faintly; the shy reserve in her nature ever made personal tulk difficult. "Surely you have that?" he suggested boldly, waving his cigarette toward the diamond scintillating on her finger. "Oh, yes. Yes. I have, of course"in that way," she replied hurriedly. The band struck up a stirring Jazz tune, a medley bringing hints of tomtoms, drums, rattling castanets, the uncouth music of the East. . . . "Oh!" she cried involuntarily, starting up: then sitting down again. "But you could never understand," she muttered. "What?" He watched her closely, his cigarette burning, forgotten, ber tween his fingers. "The craving to live--really live!-- for a time! To get out Into the world; to--to experience everything instead of Just reading about it all; to--feel life itself! In huge cities, among vast crowds. I want to find out--" She hesitated, looking away over the meadows, with a puzzled frown. "Something seems lost, missing In some way. I--I can't explain." She turned back to him, the color in her face heightened. But he did not laugh as Hugh would have done. "iluge cities'?" he queried slowly. "You think you will find it In them? Why not in remote villages?" "Oh, no!" she cried. "Nothing ever happens in them! Villages are only full of little obscurities. I want to sample bigger things--" ' "They will be but 'little obscurities' In fresh places," he interrupted. "The "whole world is only composed of little notes, you know, and their reverberations." She listened In surprise. In her experience. talk like this, especially from a man, was unusual; but from one famed for a life of action it seemed little short of miraculous. "Well," she said, enjoying; the novelty of metaphor, "I want to feel the big 'reverberations'--to get among deep chords, in fact!" "They might be rather overpowering. It's having some sort of right keynote that counts." Twilight" of Mind* Might Work Wonder* To most grown-ups the child mind is an enigma, and it is reasonable to suppose that the grown-up mind is an enigma to the child. So that. If there be a sudden "twilight" for a few hours, great changes would be apparent in the behavior of the one to the other, a writer in the Westminster Gazette comments. Take, for Instance, meal time--a period when youth and maturity wage eternal warfare--Mary and Bobble would appreciate mothers' dislike to messy, noisy meals, and mother would realize In a flash how tin some and dull it is to sit quiet and be careful and clean and good right th rough all the courses.

BobbJa weul4 plate (probably), but not at such an acute angle ihat the tablecloth would be drenched with rhunurb J«lce. 1 . . As for mother, instead of losing herself In gloomy contemplation of the years to pass before she could have her meals in peace, site would chat companlonably and limit considerably her number of "don'ts." Naturally you begirt such a story with ideas of your own about such a situation. See if you stick to them. Out of extremes moderation Is achieved, says a fashion authority In the New York Times. So from the wildest extravagances and Incongruities of Egyptian and other far distant origins have been evolved the refreshing youthful Bilhouettes, the slender lines and the classic ensemble. And In these the rarest fabrics, the most splendid metal and silk brocades appear . in patterns inspired by great works of art, expressed In #11 the beautiful colors ever known. No woman could look unlovely In them. In dress of this type are embodied classic ideals in lines, materials and harmonies of color. As a sesult of radical remodeling, the curveless onepiece frock, whether made of blue serge for morning street wear or of rainbow tinted silver tissue for evening, is a garment of dignity, beauty and Importance. Its variants are countless. It Is as enchanting In finely plaited white chiffon, snowy and soft, as when the same model is done in the most bizarre metal cloth splashed across with colors. When a simple, plain-colored fabric Is used, the unbroken line of the chemise frock is made into a brilliant costume, with added motifs in brilliants, feathers, fur, metal lace and other most lovely luxuries. After the straight frock began to be monotonous the feeling for something more interesting was evident in the softening of lines, the drawing of Vogue of Red Fox Featured in Slack Broadcloth Coat. curves, the lifting of length to create drapery and the dropping of skirts to add grace. The evolved evening gown was built In a manner to match dignity of design with quality and type of material, and nothing more charming has ever been shown by the prominent style creators. Generally Satisfactory. "Ensemble" expresses one of the most satisfactory costumes of the season. The three-piect suit known heretofore was a clumsy affair which, being all cloth, appeared always to be too heavy or not heavy enough for late autumn street wear. When It reappeared this season it presented a gown of satin or crepe with a practical wraD of cloth and fur, the idea of ensemble being maintained by lining the coat with the stuff of ilie dress. It has fcone so well that the model is redone in more elaborate form for evening and Is designed in lighter materials for southern resort wear and early sprlug weather. The fur trimming is almost universal. A frock of satin or crepe receives a richer appearance with bands of fur of even the narrowest measurement, and In some of the late models of straight sllhonette a wide band of fur borders the skirt. This Is used with profusion on *he wrap that accompanies the frock, and one seldom sees now a coat that Is without a lavish display of fur. Another type of dress that shows a marked evolution Is the sport suit. There is not nowadays anything hlt-ormlss or nondescript about the sport togs of persons of fashion. They have a style of their own, striking, picturesque, suitable and comfortable. The latest outfits, breeches, sweaters, kid jackets, boots and scarfs, are stunning--extremes done with masterful skill and artistry. The woven and knitted sweater-blouses, waistbands and scarfs. In the striped, plaid and zig-zag patterns, are gay, chic affairs and are the high lights in the most successful expression of costume in the entire wardrobe. The modern version of the homely old-time knit goods Is present, and the attraction of the homespuns and English materials that are best adapted to this sort of costume. Dinner and Dance Frocks. The dinner gowns and dancte frocks of this season are among the most artistic costumes, and match in beauty and grace the models of earlier times. With'daring and assurance the leading creators of Paris have presented the most important styles in models of elaborate simplicity and grace, done In splendid fabrics, beautiful colors and detail of much interest. Unheard of combinations have been successfully achieved with the use of rich brocades, velvets, fur, metals, luces and gauzy tissues. And the proof of their value Is the appreciative response of cultivated taste, for women of today are discriminating. With a sure touch the folk crafts of old countries are used to ornament the latest achievements of the loom, and peasant-woven woolen embroiders the sheerest spun silks. That these extremes are made to meet with results wholly artistic is a tribute to the talent and skill that are given to the subject of dress and the Important place It has come to have In the estimate of artists in highest standing. One style' of dress that has needed no argument for its ifresentatlon Is the "period" costume. Nothing has ever expressed better the subtlety and charm of the swish of silken skirts, and more beauty is suggested by the skirt of many folds than Is revealed by the clinging lines of scant drapery. Designed long ago, the quaint frock witli plain, tight bodice, the neck outlined with a demure bertha, a waistline unexaggerated and wide and full skirts have come back to fascinate the belle of today and to give her a conscious air of something that bears the stamp of tradition. Every girl loves to wear this dress reminiscent of the crinoline period. While it graces every one, only an occasional woman appears in It with euse and distinction. This season some of the most prominent modistes and the most exclusive shops in New York have featured the period- dress, depending upon material and color for whatever variants they have offered, and its popularity continues undiminished.

One model which will have an enduring picture value Is made of black chiffon velvet, the collar of old rose point pinned with an old brooch of seed pearls. Long medallion earrings match brooch and necklace, and a cluster of gardenias is fastened at one side of the belt Nothing in the styles of the present day Illustrates more happily and truly the elegance and beauty of the dress of earlier times. . In Just what manner the styles of today will develop, which way they will be swayed by fashion and fancy, cannot be foreseen. But that they have now a place of increasing importance In the world of art and convention is quite plain. And whatever of folly, extravagance or lack of taste or propriety appears In the present modes, we have come a long way in the elimination of some barbarities that will not likely be seen again. For now that tight staya and collars, Louis Quinze heels for walking, and skirts that sweep the pavement are do longer fashionable, they are certainly obsolete and their extreme opposites that add so much to the Joy and comfort of life will endure. The style of wearing street gloves with the cuffs turned down over the hand has resulted in special designs in the finish of the linlhg which adds much to the appearance of the glove. Because of this fad the cuff lining is strikingly emphasized and has become more important than the ornamenta-' tlon of the outside covering.
