Their hurry to speak had rendered them incapable of speech, so they stood in the doorway panting breathlessly for a moment, while Fairy and her aunt, withdrawn thus rudely from dreamland, looked at them interrogatively. "Yes, I think so, too." began Fairy, and the twins endeavored to crush her with their lofty scorn. But it is not easy to erpress lofty scorn when one Is fed in the face, perspirey and short of breath. So the twins decided of necessity to overlook the offense just this once. Finally, recovering their vocal pow­ ers simei taneoagiy, they cried in uni­ son r - - •• -- "Dickie !M "Dock! In the yard ! ,Doyoy,»ean a live one? Where di<ntucdjBtfe ftwnT* ejaculated their aunt.

"Why, I would, twins, of course, to oblige you, but you know Gene's in town this week, and I've got to--" "Oh, you leave Babble--Gene, I mean--to us." said Carol airily. Fairy being a junior in college, and Eugene Babler a student of pharmacy in Chi­ cago. she felt obliged to restore him to his Christian name, shortened to Gene. But the twins refused to accede to this propriety, except when they particu­ larly wished to placate Fairy. "You leave Gene to us." repeated Carol. ""We'll amuse him. Is he com­ ing tonight?" "Yes. at seyenrithitty^';t ... "Let's call him*up and Invite him ft"" dinner, too," suggested Lark. "And youli do us a favor and be nice to Duckie, won't yoi? We'll Ifeeep Babh-- er.

And just as a favor to you, twins, I will help amuse, yoqr pro­ fessor. You'll be good, and help, won't you?" The twins glowed at Fairy with a warmth that seemed almost triumph­ ant. She stopped and looked at them doubtfully. When she returned after telephoning, they were gone, and she said to her aunt: "I'm not superstitions, but when the twins act like that; there's usually a cloud in the parsonage skylight. Pru­ dence says so." But the twins comported themselves most decorously. All during the weekl they worked like kitchen slaveys, doing chores, running errands. And they treated Fairy with a gentle considera­ tion which almost drew tears to her, eyes, though she still remembered Pru­ dence's cloud In the parsonage sky- light I They certainly Interfered with her own plans.

And Gene, who nearly haunted the House, had a savage gleami In his eyes quite out of accord with his usual chatty good humor. Fairy s,Jinew jihe was being adroitly managed, but she had promised to help the trwinsj with "Duckie." At first she tried ar« tistlcally and unobtrusively to free her­ self from the complication in which her sisters "had involved her. But the twins were both persistent and clever, and Fairy found herself no match for them (when it came right down to business. ,She had no idea of their purpose--she only knew that she and Gene were al­ ways on opposite sides of the room, the young man grinning savagely at the twins' haerry prattle, And she and the professor trying to keep quiet enough to hear every word from the other cor­ ner. And If they walked. Gene was dragged off by the firm slender fingers of the friendly twins, and Fairy and the professor walked drearily along in jthe rear, talking inanely about the weather--and wondering what the twins were talking about. And the week passed. Gene finally feSl off inltis attendance, and the twins took a much-needed rest. On Friday afternoon they flattered themselves that all w^jp well. Gene was net conn­ ing; Fairy was in the hammock waiting tor the professor. So the twins hugged each other gleefullfeand went to the haymow to discuss the strain and struggle of the jyeek. And then-r- "Why, the big mutt !" cried Carol, In her'annoyance Ignoring the Methodist grammatical boundaries, "here comes that bubbling Babler this minute. And he said he was going to New London for the day. Now we'll have to chase down there and shoo him off before Duckie comes." The twins, growling and grumbling, gathered themselves up and started. But they started too re­ luctantly, too leisurely. They were not In time. Fairy sat up In the hammock with h cry of surprise, Sut not vexation, when Gene's angry countenance appeared be­ fore her. "Look here. Fairy," he began, what's the Joke? Are your fingers itching to get hold of that four thou­ sand a year the twins are eternally bragging about? Are you trying to thrown yourself into the old schp^l teacher's poeketbook, or what?" "Don't be silly, Gene," she said, "come and sit down and--' "Sit down, your grauduiotfier!" lie snapped, still angrily. "Old Double D D- will be bobbing up in a uiinute, and the twins'Il drag ne off to fceur about "Cpme On* Lffs peat Itjf Fairy--I guess they had an t¥frand somewhere. We think they'll be back very soon. Fairy, will be so soWAy." The * professor' smiled" and looked quite bright. ; ."Are they golie?" "Yes, but we're sure they'll be back --that is, we're almost sure." , Carol, remembering the mode of their depar­ ture, felt far less assurance op that point than she could have wished. "Well, that's too bad," he salc|_ cheer­ fully. "But my loss Is Babler% gain. I suppose we ought in Christian de­ cency to. give him the afternoons Let's go out to the creek for a stroH our­ selves* shall we? ^That'll leave him a clear field when they return, Yoft think they'll be. back soon, do you?".. He looked down the road hopefully, but whether, hopeful they would re­ turn, or wouldn't, the twins could not have told. At any rate, he rteeemea quite Impatient until they were ready to start, and- then, Very gayiy, the three wended their way out thatpretty country road toward the creek and Blackbird lane. They had a good time i the twins always did Insist that no one on earth was quite so entertaining ra$ dear old Dutfkte. but In her heart Carol registered a solemn vow to have it out with Fairy when she got back. , She had no opportunity that night. Fairy and Gene telephoned that they would not be home for dinner, and the pro­ fessor had gone, and the twins were sleeping soundly, when Fairy crept softly up the stairs. But Carol did not forget her vow. Early the next morning she stalked grimly into Fairy's room, where Fairy was conscientiously bringing order out of the chaos In her bureau drawers, a thing Fairy always did after a perfect­ ly happy day. Carol knew that, and It was with genuine reproach ttt hervoice that slie spoke at last, after standing for some two minutes watching Fairy as she deftly twirled long ribbon^ about her fingers and then laid them i$ methodical piles in separate corners of - *4 . girl.

I am engaged to Eugene Babler." She said It with pride, not unmixed with defiance, knowing as she dld^that the twins con­ sidered Gene too undignified for a par­ sonage son-in-law. The twins were strong for parsonage dignity ! "You--are?" . ,j "I am." ( A long instant Carol stared at her.

After a short silence she moved away once more,; . % "Where now?" ^ .v "To tell' Aunt Gracei • ihef£ "Aunt Grace knows it, tdflC' "Does Prudence knew Itf**' "Yes." .. w , Carol swallowed this bitter pill in silence. " "How long?" she inquired at last. "About a year. Look here, Carol, I'll show you something. Really I'm glad you know about It. We're pretty young, and papa thought , we ought to keep it darkf, a while, to make sure. That's why we didn't tell you. Look at this." From her cedar chest--a Christmas gift from Gene--she drew out a small velvet jeweler's box, and displayed befdre the admiring eyes of Carol a plain gold ring with a modest diamond. Carol kissed it. Then she kissed Fairy twice. "I know you'll be awfully happy, Fairy," she said soberly. "And I'm glad of it. But--I can't honestly be­ lieve there's any man good enough for our girls. Babble's nice, and dear, and all that, and he's s6 crazy about you, and--do you love him?" Her eyes were wide, rather wondering, as she put this question softly. Fairy put her arm about her sister's shoulders, and her fine steady eyes met Carol's clearly. "Yes," she said frankly, "I love Mm --with all my heart." "Is that what makes you so--so shiny, and stnlley, and starry all the time?" "I guess it is. It is the most won­ derful thing In the world, Carol. You can't imagine it--beforehand. It is magical; it is heavenly." "Yes, I suppose it is. Prudence says so, too. I can't imagine it, I kind of wish I could. Can't I go and tell Con­ nie and Lark? I want to tell some­ body !" "Yes, tell them. We decided not to let you know just yet, but since--yes, tell them, and bring them up to see it." Carol kissed her again, and went out, gently closing the door behind her. In the hallway she stopped and stared at the wall for an unseeing moment. Then she clenched and shook a stern white fist at the door. "I don't care," she muttered, "they're not ^ good enough for Prudence and Fairy! They're not! I Just believe I despise men, all of 'em, unless it's daddy and Duck!" She smiled a little and then looked grim once more. "Eu­ gene Babler, and a little queen like Fairy! I Chink that must be heaven's notion of a joke." She sighed again. "Oh, well, It's something to have some­ thing to tell! I'm glad I found it out ahead of Lark!"

It is a well-known fact that the American buyers who go to Paris to get new clothes often refuse lovely gowns If they bear a close kinship to those that were sold the year before. Now the Zouaye Skirt This line happens to be, at the pres­ ent moment, that tucked-in effect at the hem of the skirt, which is sugges­ tive of the trousers, of the Algerian troops. Nobody would remember, probably, the exact date of the beginning of this Idea, but It was evolved long be­ fore the war. It has been brought ont In various kinds of skirts. The house of Callot was probably the first to bring out the idea In a narrow skirt, but It did nut take. Poiret, who has. a devotional attitude SOME OF FASHION'S FANCIES , Banana a Bread Fruit. The orange, apple and banana can­ not be compared for the reason that they represent three extreme types. The orange contains no starch and the banana Is nearly all starch. The apple stands midway between the two. One can make a meal of ripe bananas, but ripe oranges would, by themselves, hardly suffice. The orange is i* re­ freshing food, the banana a nourish­ ing food. The orange and the apple should be consumed with other food, and wheras one might eat half a loaf of bread and half a dozen apples, he would be very foolish to eat half a l^af of bread and a half dozen ban' anas.

Be- Care of the Skin* Winter winds are decidedly destruc­ tive to delicate skins. So every woman ought to give par­ ticular time and attention to the care of her complexion during these diffi­ cult months. On the boudoir dressing table the maid or matron who is wise in her day and generation will keep a jar of cream or some lotion ready for use at any time. It Is best when choosing this prepa­ ration to select one that will soften and also whiten. Great care should be used not to obtain one which will dry the skin. Some people object to the u«p of grease and for them there is a tonic which Is quite as efficacious. It may be made from the following ingredients: Dissolve one and one-half drachms of citric acid and one drachm of borax in five and one-half ounces of hot wa­ ter.

Last autumn the immense bnlk of the American public looked with a shrug, of the shoulders at the pink and blue taffeta skirts that were tucked up at the hem and caught here and there with a formal little bouquet of roses. How stale and stupid Paris Is! was the comment. Can't sihe ever get it into her head that America does not want that loose, overfull skirt with its ungrace­ ful rtite about the ankles? Debu­ tantes and young girls continued toj dance in this kind -of skirt wherever! the fiddles sounded, but women of! more mature years dismissed it. a& a; fasliion _irom • the stark" • 'V;>• .

And the Interesting part of it is that it entirely changes, the sil­ h o u e t t e . 5 - • - V V This seems to be In contrast with the Stated fact ffiat France is persist­ ent in certain things #nd maintains a certain line fdr a longer period of time than America. The truth is that France persists with a trick, but changes the silhouette and still uses the trick, and that is what she has done in the new Algerian skirt. It Is difficult to say whether the trousers of the French troops In Al­ giers give the clew to this new skirt or whether it was the entire array of men in baggy trousers which curve in below the knees to fit the legs. ' Here Is the Silhouette^ The waist Is normally large, the line down the hips is either straight or slightly bulging through'the fullness of the material, and the hem is exceed­ ingly narrow and tucked under. A woman wearing the most fashionable of these skirts, with high boots added thereunto, will look at a slight dis­ tance as though she wrpre baggy trou­ sers and army boots. To the majority of women this news may not be welcome. They will fancy a far more sensational garment than what actually exists. That mild rev­ olution against the sheath and the hobble skirt may also crop up against this Algerian skirt, but both the other features of fashion were incorporated in our ordinary apparel after a while, without creating disturbance. There is so little fullness In this new skirt that It does not seem to be even a first cousin to the skirt of Jenny with Its tucked-up hem. That skirt, which pervaded the continent for two years, had a tendency to flare out, to fling Itself away from the ankles; this skirt goes In so rapidly from knees to hem that It does not need to undergo the same treatment that was accorded the other skirt. For Instance, to be technical--the fullness at Its hem Is not caught up and gathered to a short, narrow lin­ ing. This is not considered necessary. It is merely turned under and run into the conventional hem, allowing its fullness, slight as It Is, to fall against the shoetops and accentuate the trousered effect. This extreme skirt has brought about the narrowest silhouette we have had in years. When the hem is not tucked under, it Is only wide enough to provide free movement In walking. The skirts are necessarily short, for their narrowness would greatly impede progress If they were long. tween these bands, which really form the ends of the simulated muff, the coat Is fulled a trifle. Narrow soutache bri^d js. one of the fashionable trimmings of the hour. Both chalk-white and cream satin col­ lar and cuff sets are soutached In color. Brown Is a favorite, also re­ seda green. Georgette blouses are al­ so lavishly soutached. One in basque effect, navy blue in color, has a fitted bodice closely soutached in dark red. Gypsy 8ash. Everyone knows that the so-called gypsy sash which has been taken from the Roumanian vagabonds is apt to in­ crease the size appearance of the hips, and yet it has come into fashion as quickly as a thunder shower comes up in August, There is a strong belief among the designers that this Rouma­ nian hip girdle, which is as old as Nlnevah and Tyre, will not prove pop­ ular, but all the designers believe that the bias movement, which Is creeping into all the fashions and which ex­ presses itself in long, oblique lines, will soon take the place of the straight, Indian and Alexandrian silhouette.
