INNERS IN HEAVEN --• By CLIVE ARDEN ~ PART FOUR ,;#3& Miss Dsvles, Mrs. Stockiey's only Villaining sister, placed a marker !n ifer book; then laid It down upon a Mnall table. Her face assumed tlw Copyright by Tli* Bobba-Marrill Co. the drawing room door, and went to bed. But she lay long awake thinking over her sister's remarks. One alone stood out clearly, gathering force with every minute: "Everybody Is talking and wondering." Everybody eagerly devoured all complacent expression of one al»out to gornps of news; but the supply was perform a pleasant duty in accordance ' i HllTh her conscience. ' "I think." she observed decisively, \\ *|IuRh should be warned." - Mrs. Stockiey glanced up from tin .'liole she was embroidering. **Abou* What?' she asked. , : " "Barbara." • - , Hei sister made a Jpestor® of fnnoy- .'..-"..•Hinc*1, which caused her to prick her #nyor • this increased her irritation. • "I wish you would for once b$ explicit, Mary!

Stockiey, with much meaning. - "Well, then," continued her sister, Ignorinjf'this improbability, "you must realize that Barbara will most likely return--very changed. Indeed, from hibr one letter there seems no doubt •bout it., That . was. queer--very queer!" Mrs. Stockiey Impatiently hunted among bundles.of colored silks. "Of course she will be changed. She Is two years older and has suffered ghastly experiences. She was very 111 at Singapore? you couldn't expect long chatty letters!" She spoke with unusual asperity. Two years of her sister's undiluted companionship had increased an inherent instinct toward contradiction, ,1While developing a self-defensive alert- Bess.

After being brought to Singapore. the heroine remained there, ill, unable to be moved for a tlmfe. . , . A certain reticence surrounded this illness. prostration being given as the natural cause. No trace of a white man's body was found by the expedition sent, post-haste, to search the Island. Only the charred remains of a hut, and a few dead natives, were discovered In the north. In the south, a small tribe of furious, armed savages offered a wildly hostile reception, making approach difficult, refusing any information other than a poisoned arrow. . . . Babooma had presumably recovered and wreaked his vengeance upon the body of his late antagonist. . . . When well enough, the girl had Implored frantically, as one distraught, for facilities to return, herself, to search. This awakened a new interest, adding plqunncy to the situation. But such quixotic madness rould not he indulged by level-headed authorities. What could a girl accomplish where hosts of men had failed? No! The Island had been thoroughly explored. The hostile faction of the natives was in possession: her return would be mere suicide, or worse. She was sent to England as soon as practicable. But the De Borceau brothers, ever thirsting for adventure, understanding perhaps more of her sufferings and the true facts than they chose to publish, carried out to the end their oath to Croft. Only on the hoat did they bid her farewell--then they returned to their charts and their seaplane. Noth-' ing save death, so they vowed to her, in tlielr exuberant French fashion, should deter them from .learning final news of the man whose personality had won their generous admira- Hireds. Such gifts used at the expense of common acquaintances are a different matter, of course, v . . "Ah!" Miss Davies returned tor. the promptings of conscience with renewed . relish. "You are as blind as Hugh. Alice. I saw him this afternoon, quite Skcited over meeting her tomorrow. He wants to have the wedding after Christmas ... of course it was not my business to say anything!" Whether this self-discipline could have been maintained had not other people been present, is open to quest i o n . . . . "You don't understand Bab as well as Hugh and I do. you see," returned j her sister complacently. "No." she agreed, "but I understand If $n!" Her lips closed with a snap, to give effect to the world of meaning in her words. "Don't you realize, Alice, that Barbara was attractive? And she has been flung, unchaperoned, for two years. Into the society of a* man who-- well--had extremely loose ideas, and Bohemian ways--a man whose influence wbuld be most questionable for any young girl." Mrs. Stockiey flushed. "Are you Insinuating that Bab would be weak enough to allow him to influence her? After her careful upbringing, too? Why --looseness of any sort would be abhorrent to her! Her surroundings have always been strictly moral." "I don't insinuate anything: but I wouldn't trust that man far, in such circumstances! We have yet to learn how he behaved." "She did not allude to b{m in her letter." "No. But--she did h£r utmost to _jet token back to search for his body! HBurely her chief desire should have been to hurry home to Hugh?" Mrs. Stockiey smiled impatiently. "You are making mountains from molehills. Mnrv! She did that purely from humanitarian motives; It was only right"and natural. Hugh thought so. He liked Captain Croft." "Hugh Is too trustful: that's why I am sorry for him. Frankly. Alice, I do not believe a man and womajjco^iki , live in such Isolation withou^comlng to grief. I have seen too mi^h of human nature--M "My dear Mary! what^do^foo mean? You don't--" -- The key to more Intimate, romantic drama was not forthcoming. Speculation flourished. What would be likely to happen In such circumstances? Would propinquity bring love in Its train? And. if so-- This entailed endless discussion. hMt^l arguments. Impatience Was a Novelty. What would be right, and what wrong? Which would need most courage: to resist or-- There were women who thought the reverse. The fact of the girl being already engaged shed a further glamor of the dramatic over the adventure, making the uncertainty all the greater. Perhaps no., problem had arisen after platform at Charing Cross chatting together ; or promenaded slowly, eying their fellows with furtive Interest, or absorbed In their own reflections. Hugh became convinced that both the station clock and his wrist-watch had 8toPPed: yet the watch appeared to be ticking when, every few moments, he exclaimed It. He sighed, turned on his heel, and for the twentieth time started to walk the length of the platform and back. Impatience was a novelty, also the state of excitement In which he found himself: he hardly knew how to cope with such sensat i o n s . . . . „ ° . Two years in his asual comfortable groove had changed Hugh very little. He managed his father's property, hunted, shot, played games, as of yore. If the tragic loss of Barbara had taken the keen edge from his enjoyment of life, ma Using him a little older and graver, it had not destroyed his inte» ests in the wholesome occupations which came his way. After the first shock had abated, he found himself a forlorn hero among his many friends, Vho took him to their hearts and filled his; days so that brooding became im- • possible. Perhaps more than mere sympathy lurked within the minds of mothers with marriageable daughters; but that suspicion never penetrated his brain. The girl who was part of his very life had gone: to none other did he give a moment's thought. And now this Twentieth century miracle had happened! After what seemed a dull dream he awoke Just where he was, when, so to speak, he fell asleep. His feelings wece absolutely unchanged, except, perhaps, that they were Intensified by loss. The possibility of any alteration in their relationship never even occurred to him. As has been mentioned before, he was not blessed--or cursed--with imagination. . . . When he had nearly reached the barrier, a sudden tension became apparent everywhere: conversations ceased, heads all turned one way, a flutter of expectancy passed over the scattered groups. . . . Hugo turned quickly. The hage engine, approaching, glided slowly alongside the platform, followed by the train which brought far travelers home again from distant lands. . . Within a few minutes all was bustle and hurry. The platform swarmed with excited passengers, harassed porters, barrows, luggage. . . . He searched hither and thither for tho figure he sought, anxiety slowly rising within him. As the crowd thinned, he took up his position just Inside the barrier, where she was bound to qome. Peering through the murky light, he hastily scanned each face that passed, without success. When at last but a few stragglers remained, he made his way further down the platform a dull feeling of disappointment adding to his anxiety. Casually his glance traveled over a thin figure In a dark coat and hat, seated upon a bench, a kindly, grayhaired porter standing near, suit-case in hand. ... As he passed by, a voice he had once thought never to hear again caused him to turn sharply, with a leap of the heart. "I shall be better in a minute. . . . Thank you, porter. . . "Bab!" With probably the quickest movement of his life, Hugh reached the seat and seized th«^ girl's trembbllng hands in his own. . . . Then all other words of greeting faded upon his lips: he was conscious of a sense of shock, a nameless api?rfehenslon. The general features of the face quickly raised were those he knew; but that was all. This woman with the heavy, haunted-looking eyes, the strained set lips, the curious rigidity of expression, bore no resemblance to the sweetfaced. Impulsive girl who had clung round his neck at parting. In the cabin of the airplane. He felt checked, curl-, ously embarrassed, as if with a stranger. Still ciasplng hfr hands, he gazed at her silently, noting with alarm the aghen hue spreading even to her Hps. Several times she essayed to speak, and failed. The porter, ccentlng romance, discreetly moved a few steps away. ... At last Hugh heard his name uttered, again and again. In a voice so charged with misery that his all. . . . But If It had? Did the two i apprehensions deepened, and a sudden themselves have clear convictions on I ,nist,ness enveloped the |fled hand ^ou must talking Her sister held up a dl to stop all interruption, face it, Alice! Every bo and wondering. Of course, it depends entirely upon the man. I don't imply that all men are beasts--as some women would who had seenlfe much of the world as I have. If he had a strong spiritual nature--a clergyman, perhaps. But that man!" She pursed her lips. Mrs. Stockiey gazed at her. her own face paling, her finger twitching the forgotten stole. " 'Coming to grief!' " she repeated, horrified. "Do you dare suggest my daughter would so disgrace her name end family as to allow-- My dear Mary ! It is preposterous! I would disown such a child. But Barbara! Why, I would trust her alone with any man, for forty years! She wouldn't dream of such things. Besides, Captaln Croft Mrs. Field's cousin of good family himself--•• Martha, the old servant, hustled In aither side; and, above all, courage to tte true to them? I This was the vital point all longed to know. The pair became invested with romance. . . . Women laid their heads together and wondered. . . . Dark surmises were murmured concerning that illness at Singapore. . . . Sentimental girls forgot their matinee or cinema Idols and cut Croft's photograph out of newspapers, halfwishing they themselves had been w r e c k e d w i t h h i m . . . . Meanwhile, through the darkness of winter nights and drabness of monotonous days, the ship plowed her wajP to England which bore one from the closed gates of an "earthly paradise," with agonized eyfcs still dazzled by the lights she had left there, to trim the little lamps of he* Darbory home. II The boat train was late. Little groups of people, wrapped In heavy coats and furs, stood about the surrounding scene.. For she was clinging to his hands like one in deep torment who. for the first time amid a storm of suffering, finds the anchor of an old friend. ... And yet he received the impression of fear in her manner; she seemed loath to meet his gaze, unable to talk to him. . . . He was frankly puzzled; but an Englishman, with bis horror of scenes, can be trusted to bridge over any threatening chasms. Sending the porter ror a taxi, he sat down by her side, still holding her hands, and took refuge In the prosnlc. "Come and have some tea--or brandy ->-or something, Bab," he suggested. "There's just time." She shook her head. „ "But--you--ijrou--dash it all! You don't look fit to travel. What Is it, dear--" "I--shall be all right." she breathed. "We had a bad crossing. I--caught cold. That's all. Hugh." He watched her with puckered brow. "What made you leave the boat at Marseilles and come overland?" at this moment with bedroom candle* 1 _ _ l o. • , _ _ pl«rThJ| down «pon the j Stories Told of Famous French Writer table, and her old face beamed at ah excuse for garrulity over Barbara's re "I hated It I** she cried huskily, freeing her hands. "It was all--unbearable-- day after day--the nytnotony, the people--oh! I bated It all I" Her eyes roved wildly over the platform, then she abruptly turned toward him. "I want Mrs. Field. Is she In London, or at Darbury?" "Neither. She's in Russia." Tlie girl's hands twined convulsively together, and she said no more. It was a relief to both when the porter appeared to lead them to the waiting taxi. By this sudden act of traveling overland, she bad successfully thwarted publicity. No curiosity was evinced In her arrival. She sank back in a corner, witli throbbing head, bewildered by the noise around. It all seemed part of the nightmare which had been going on for so long, in which various parts of her anatomy moved, spoke, ate and slept, while she herself was numbed or dead. The movements around appeared as unreal and detached as the life of a gay city to one lying, blind and pain-stricken, in a darkened room. Hugh turned to put his arms about her, us they drove away--but again something Intangible checked him; instead, he took her hand once more, elmost shyly, and leaned toward her. "Bab." he asked diffidently, "won't you --aren't you going to kiss Biel After al! this time?*' She drew away quickly. Sharply- For a moment she laid her hand upon the door, with the mad Instinct to escape which some trapped animal might feel on its way to the zoo, its heart ever awaj^ in tbe ^llds with its lost mate. . . . Then, drawing a long quivering breath, she leaned back and looked up at him. In the light from passing vehicles, she saw the hurt wonder on his face. . . . All at once the cold rigidity encompassing her heart relaxed. With trembling lips, and eyes swimming in sudden tears, she laid her free band on his. Hughle!" she mustered brokenly, you must bear with me. So much has h a p p e n e d . I h a v e t o t e l l y o u . . . . 1 --I'm not--I don't--" The words quavered away Into silence. How was It possible, at this first moment of meetig, to blurt out the bald statements hich would shatter his pathetic happiness and trust? She could not bear, yet, to allude to what had become a sacred memory full of poignant, exquisite pain. "I can't tell you everything-- here^'^he continued. "Oh! I can't speak of it all--yet, Hugh! Don't ask me. It--it is so--unbearable--" Again her voice died away. Hugh pressed the hands in his. and laid them agninst his cheek. Darling old girl !' Ham It .teen as bad as all that?" He had, she knew, entirely tnlstmderstood; but she made no comment. xplanatlons were Impossible, Just then. This meeting, fraught with such irony and tragedy, had bewildered her. Hugh's presence, with Its present strangeness and odd sense of familiarity, brought with it a sense of shock, reducing her preconceived ideas of if to chaos. When they reached Waterloo, she nerved herself to put the question she scarcely dared to frame--that which was her only interest In life at present. Hns any news reached England-- yet--from De Borceau?'* Hugh looked grave and triiook his head. Of--Croft, you mean? No, Poor fellow. . • . I suppose--I m*t~ Bab--" "Yes?" « ' ;' "I suppose--Tve Sometimes wondered-- was Croft quite--decent to you. all the time?" A harsh caricature of a laugh Jaifred on his ears. "Yes. Oh ! Quite--decent V Hugh knitted Ills brow at her tone "You are sure? He--looked after you, I mean, and did all he could?" "Oh, yes, yes! He--did all he posslbly could." It was a beastly position jtfbr you both. Especially as you didn't like him--" Here's the station!" sh© exclaimed, with a quick breath of relief. .The taxi drew up at the pavement, and a porter o p e n e d t h e d o o r . . . . The train was rather full; but the presence of others in their carriage was a boon to Barbara. Hugh had sunk so far into the background that. In her recent anguish, the consideration of their position had held no place. Robbed with such cruel suddenness of both Alan and her future motherhood, there had been no room. In the bitterness of her heart, for thoughts of ths empty years ahead. Every throb ot the engines bringing her away Increased the passionate craving to return-- to search every nook and corner of the Island for remains of the man who mehnt more than life to her; then to lie down beside them and die, her self. , (TO BE CONTINUED j with an air of outraged digturn.

Mannish Two Most Popular Fashions of Season Combined • ".v • . m Latest Mode* , "r'-y.-j ^rae iho&e has acquired a coifi$re4-- and a Freudian complex to boot, writes a Paris fashion correspondent In the New York Herald-Tribune. Having freed Itself from the tyranny of the tubular outline. It has stepped blithely into the maelstrom of the masculine Influence In dress versus the feminine, and milady Is still unable to rest easy In tbe lap of fashion. Contrast the mannlBh tailleur and. the essential feminine ensemble, the simple unadorned suits with the frilly and Intricate dresses of tlie new season, the mold and Dare with tbe straight line, and you will begin to appreciate the numerous conflicting issues which have been raised by the Paris couture. Out of the varied maze of themes It is clearly evident that the mode must either follow the 'stricter lines of the mannish tailleur, the gentler influence of the feminine ensemble, or else arrive at some liappy compromise. The ensemble is the leading exponent of the feminine Influence spring dress, and It is equally a let* ft er In the revolt .from the hackneyed tubular silhouette. The theme, of course, may be and frequently Is extended to hats, hosiery, shoes and the various other accessories of dress, but" In its essential form it consists of a dress and coat which are brought Into a single Identity by means of fabric trimming or fabric design. The most usual linking liaison Is a printed material which is used for the dress and the lining of the coat, and which appears not infrequently upon sleeves, collar and hemline as well. Granted that there is no longer anything novel In the theme--It was originally Introduced In the winter of 1923-24--Its principal virtue lies In the fact that its novel effects cannot be easily Imitated. On that basis Long Coat and Flared Dress. Ensemble dresses are normally jl silk, principally georgette crepe, satin, crepe-satln, chiffon and taffeta, while the coats are usually developed in wool and silk. Except for Chanel, the Paris designers have chosen the threequarter, seven-eighths or full-length coat to accompany these costumes, and Chanel has chosen the short coat only to be worn with her well-known Jun er effects. -Redingotes and an i caslonal suggestion of the dlrecto are noteworthy In the new ensemble coats. The most frequent combination is the three-quarter kasha coat lined with printed Silk and the. silk frock with a hemline flare. The only obstacle which prevents the spring ensemble from achieving a landslide this season Is the tailored suit, which Is bravely returning after a dismally* cold reception last year. The tailleur boasts a long line of Inspiring sponsors this season both In the ranks of thejiaute monde and In the ranks of the equally haute couture-- it is a definite response to the trend toward unadorned simplicity and its vogue for spring already is distinctly assured in smart circles. Tbe silhouette of the tallormade Is comparatively undistinguished--It la short, straight, and subject to none of the allurements of the frilly ensemble. In its typical form the tailleur consists of a jacket and skirt of the, same material and either a silk waist or a pique waistcoat. The Jackets are short or long, but the skirt does not share that indecision--it Is always short, and Is sometimes curtailed beyond the point of artistry. Our own preference Is for tbe short Jacket as well--not only because It harmonizes with the abbreviated hemline, but because It stands out In sbarp contrast to the long coats of tbe ensemble Let it not be thought, however, that the new tailleur always adheres to the conservative lines of former years. It is true that in fabric and color It typically conforms to the substantial, non-radical standards of the past, but It has been spurred by the example of the ensemble to acquire many novet details. One of these is the use of opposing materials for the Jacket and skirt; another the featuring of elaborate high-colored linings for the Jacket, and the repetition of this same color as a trimming for tlie outside ot both coat and skirt. V '"the Mode CompromlssH. ' "V ' ' Tfie' Issue between tailleur aniS ensemble Is still-clouded. Each has its salient points.

The tailored suit Is an entirely different conception and It expresses simplicity unudorned.. The first includes Ja hots, high collars, and all the other frilly furbelows; the second Is plain: in comparatively somber shades, and is developed In tbe typical, severe O'Rossen manner. The complete wardrobe, of course, will Include both-tailleur and ensemble, but there are frugal ladies with limited budgets who are compelled to align themselves with only one of the spring leaders. For them, these precepts. Both themes are en regflf-- the ensemble Is far the safer choice, but the tailleur has a more sporting appeal. its Interlude may be brief and It will not reach the numerical strength of the ensemble, this spring, but its proponents will be found in the most fashionable places.

The charge for admission Is only sixpence. Walk upl Walk up! A good many people responded to the invitation, and when the place was full the showman brought forward a very ordinary baby indeed in all respects.

There are also millions of cabbages which bear large heads of leaves 18 to 20 inches across.--Popular Alitajmnlna - . . •* ' •' ir ^ ' Yet In tbe last analysis the gentle opportunist will take advantage of a liberul mode and choose according to her type. It isn't always that the opportunity Is presented of selecting freely and with a definite assurance of correctness, and the chic demoiselle is certain to Improve a situation which Is unusual If not unique in the annals of fashion. Only one real danger confronts her, and this she must studiously avoid lest she join the malaprops of the mdde. When a tailor-made Is selected it must be essentially tailor-made--mannish, severe, and with none of the flaunt Ing femininity of the ensemble. And, conversely, the ensemble must svoid the straight rigidity of the tailleur and embody instead the flare and all the aity fragility of the afternoon dress. A tailleur that is half ensemble is not a tailleur at all, and an ensemble that is severely tailored bears too close a resemblance to last year's styles to be smart. Hybrid compromises are decidedly non grata In tlie new spring fashions, and every costume must be expressed distinctly according to the tenets of Hs type. Kasha Is the basis of the Lanvin daytime dresses that are seen on the streets of Paris and at the exclusive rendezvous. She uses it in every pastel shade as well as* In the striking vivid green hue that bears her name. -Used alone It is plaited, embroidered, quilted and painted. Combined with other materials it shows the adaptability of 'casha. which is charming with a silk-like surah or printed raarocain and equally attractive with lace or chiffon gowns. Though it is principally utilized for the sports suit and morning frock, Lanvin has extended the use of kasha to tbe afternoon dress as wqll. The polka dot has taken the place of the large embroidered or appllqued circles that were so popular last season. It Is always attractive whether It appears printed on silks and crepe de chine, embroidered In metal threads on taffeta or In fine silk threads on chiffon or organdie Lanvin uses dots of graduated sizes in haphazard pyramids along the hem of a full-skirted picture dress. Women Find Unlimited Variety in Lingerie Women who choose their own styles regardless of the mode may And this season an almost unlimited variety in lingerie. There Is still the woman who will wear white and only white lingerie, varied, perhaps, with an occasional nightgown or slip of the most delicate shade. Foe these there are countless models of the daintiest pattern and the finest materials, in silk, georgette, crossbar muslin, voile, handkerchief linen or crepe de chine. Some are shadow-striped or varied with dots or drop stitches, some models In white are finished with bands of delicately colored batiste, and much lace is used. In this tllet is still shown, but the most fashionable laces are Irish, valenclennes, bllche; also embroidered net, batiste embroidery and point d'esprlt. On all finest lingerie of Parisian authorship the delicate needlework known the world over as "French embroidery" is used.
