Lillian said Indifferently, giving Tommy the cherry from her grapefruit, "but I'm not going until Ikte. and I'm furious at having lo go at all. I hate the Wallaces, I'm wor- • ried about your father's cold, and altogether my dolly Is stuffed with sawdust!" "I suppose, wi couldn't be rude to them again 1*'. the old man said, doubtfully. "I suppose we couldn't!" she answered, smiling. "No, and I wouldn't have you go In with that cold, either 1 I'll go in about five and stay at the Plaza, and have a really nice time, so don't give it another thought!

Tommy laughed gaily, danced with his father to the door, and watched until the roadster disappeared down the drive. The day wore on. At eleven o'clock Lillian, whose woman was shampooing her hair, wandered, with all Its glory spread loose over her shoulders, to Ellen's door. "Snow, Ellen!" Ellen had been writing, but had stopped, and"was"staring blindly ahead of her through tear-filmed eyes. She was glad she did not have to face Lillian as she looked out of the window. "So It l*r she managed to My huskily. Lillian wandered on, stood In the bathroom door, where Lizzie was working mittens and warm woolen wraps upon the excited Tommy. When she turned back into Ellen's room tlu younger woman, had entirely recovered her self-control. While they lunched, snowflakes fluttered softly down from a leaden sky A wind began to whistle about th<- corners of the house. Outside thert was great emptiness, an appalling silence. Ellen forced herself to settle down with her father-in-law In th> study after lunch; the old mar seemed supremely happy as sh» opened "Jean Christophe." He was eh tablished in his great chair by the fire, with a plaid over his knees, and interrupted the reading now and then to congratulate himself upon having escaped the necessity of going out that night. But Lillian seemed as restless and nervous as Ellen did. At four o'clock she came In to say goodby, exquisite in her furs, and Ellen suddenly decided to try to walk herself into a better frame of mind. She saw Torrens walking about the big car, as she went down the drive, and presently it passed her and she waved to Lillian in farewell. *' It was bitterly cold, and a strong wind was blowing. Th<Psnow fell fitfully; the storm was coming, but it was not yet fairly under way. Ellen, usually normal and sensible enough, felt a sense of Impending horror close upon her. She did not want to go back to that dreadful house, where selfishness, and deceit, and cruelty flourished. But she did go back, and sent her wet shoes downstairs by Keno, and slowly got KATHLEEN NORRIS Coprrtahi bs Kathleen Nocrii And with a gesture as primitive as ft was unconscioas she wound her hand.* together, and pressed them to her face. "They're at the studio--together!" she muttered, blindly .beginning to pace the room. "Oh, Olbbs-- Glhbs-- I" The old man stared at her for a moment In utter bewilderment. Then the slow blood of age crept slo\Vly Into his colorful cheek, a hundred half-forgotten episodes rallied to support the new suspicion. His gallantry, courtesy, untiring animation and geniality were a deliberately adopted philosophy. He had not been Lillian's husband for eight years without perceiving the real woman beneath the soft and lovely surface. He felt for her at times the angry contempt of a genuine nature forced to treaty with what Is fklse. But her arts had seemed to him so patent, so pitifully childish and apparent, that he had never dreamed-- No, he had never dreamed of Glbbs! And as the thing burst upon him, suddenly confirmed by much that he had seen and heard without understanding, in the last few weeks, he knew what a fool he had been not to foresee exactly- this. "You think they--" he began, clearing his throat. Ellen recalled to herself in the midst of her frenzy, looked with quick concern upon his suddenly aged face. "Oh, I don't know!" she said, more quietly. "I don't know anything! But I--iVe been thinking about it all day I They may be dining together, and then they will come home late. It seemed to me that they were planning it--" She stopped her restless walk, and came to the side of his chair and knelt down besi'le It with the endear- Ellen Had Been Writing, but Had 8topped, and Was Staring Blindly Ahead of Her Through Tear>Fiimed Eyes. Ing penitence of a passionate child. "I may be wrong !*' she stammered eagerly, "Lillian may be somewhere else--Glbbs may be at the club dinner! But they do meet--they do write each other," Ellen went on with trembling lips, and a shaken voice, "and he has changed to me, I don't count with him any more--he's forgotten--he's forgotten--!" She burst into bitter crying, and the old man fumbled for his handkerchief, and pressed it against her cheek, as she hid her eyes on his shoulder. After a few moments she freed herself, and went back to her own chair, where she dried her eyes, and managed a watery smile, but did not speak. She herself into something I fen shaken and exhausted; yet the warm. She went to the study, where Just before dinner Josselyn, Senior, Joined her. Ellen was almost frantic now with undefined nervousness, her hands were icy cold, her face burned, and when one of the maids dropped a spoon at dinner she gave a sharp little cry. * She and her father-in-law were alone at the stately meal. "Here comes the storm!" he said pleasantly, as a wild assault of wind drove violently against the windows. "Oh, I wish Gibbs were here!" Ellen exclaimed, with suddenly watering eyes. "Here--or that I were anywhere in the world, with him!" her heart added. And tonight where was he, while she went silently and heavy-hearted about this house of shadows and menaces? The thought tormented her like a gnawing pain. Where was he? Who was enjoying the smile she loved so well, the accents of that wonderful voice? 8he was not beautiful, as Lillian was, die was thin and nervous, and alien to his atmosphere, hut she waa his wife, after all--sha^was the same Ellen who had talked with him there at the yacht club, in her pink dress, and given him the freshness and the glory '«f her youth. "Oh, I could be pretty again!" she mused, beside the study "fire. "I could be gay again I But not here--not here!" * Her book lay Idle in her lap. and g^ter awhile, glancing toward him. she fliw thut her father-in-law was dreamtig. too. 4Tm a Httle worried about Lillian!" ' Ite said, as their eyes met. "I'm afraid they bad a bad trip! relief of speaking at last had seemed to lift a weight from her soul. "I blame myself for this, Ellen," Josselyn, Senior, said presently, in some agitation. He got up, took his pipe from the mantel, filled it, and laid it irresolutely nslde. "Well!" he said briskly, "I will think about this, my dear, and we will decide what todo. We will take It in time. We will --take--it--In--time." And now he lighted his pipe, his tone resolute. "It's nearly eleven o'clock, Ellen, and time for you to go to bed. Tomorrow--" They lingered for a moment over their good-nights, and he laid his hand on her shoulder. "One thin? more, Ellen.. Witt you forgive him?" Her quick tears came again. Her voice thickened. "I--I love him. There's nothing to forgive!" Her father-in-law stared down at her from his greater height as If he saw something admirable In the honest, earnest little face, and the wet blue eyes. "You are a good woman, Ellen," he said. "Glbbs' mother was Jnst such another 1 You shall have him back, my dear, and this will all be forgotten. It's the fault of the times, Ellen--but no harm has been done, yet. I'll think about It--I have been talking of going to England, and Lillian seems to wunt to go. She's like a child: she forgets. Only tell me again that you'll forgive him, Ellen, and be happy again!" Ellen went up to bed comforted, and undressed while she dreamed of a new life for herself and Gibbs. They would .take the little apartment that adjoined the studio, they would be alone again, the old happy atmosphere would be recreated. He loved her, under all tills new madness-- Ellen saw herself in her mirror; her cheeks burning, her eyes starry, her loosened cloud of hair framing her thoughtful face. Hope came back, confidence came back, a dimple deepened in her cheek. It was all her foolish suspicion, after all. Glbbs had been at the dinner, and would come home on the midnight train, and turn the electric lights full In her eyes while he gave her a yawning account of the speeches, and tore off his white tie. And Lillian had been--she did not care where Lillian had been! But when sffe had jumped Into bed, and midnight struck, and one o'clock, and two o'clock, and be did not come, the anger and doubt returned In double force. The stdrm was still racketing about the house. Ellen felt cold under her c thick blankets. She tossed and turned, locked her anns under her head and stared Into the dark, turned and tossed again. Her father-in-law had disposed of the matter simply and sanely. But gnppose ghe was right, suppose Lillian and Gibbs had really thrown 'ull honor to the winds, were really together tonight, then what? How could she--how could any wife, forgive that? To have his father take away the danger, as she might take matches away from Tommy, proved nothing for him, and solved nothing for her. And if he and Lillian did not choose to be separated. If that passion had carried them far beyond any plans that she and his father might make--7 The clock struck three; struck fout. Ellen felt as if she would never sleep again. > * The next morning she surprised Liable and Tommy at their early breakfast ; she was going Into the city. The world was mantled with snow, hut the sun bad just risen, and Louts, the lad who assisted Torrens, had the little service car at the door, and was^onfldent that he could get Mrs. Josselyn as far ns the station. Just as Ellen was leaving, her father-in-law, also cloaked and gloved, came downstairs. Their heavy eyes met "I don't knogr why I'm going, or what Tm going to do," Ellen said. "I've got to go to the studio--and see If they--if he's there. I didn't sleep all night." "I'll go with you," he said quickly. "I saw Louis come to the door, and I thought you must be going to town. I'll go too. Lillian's car may really have gotten Into trouble--** "Or he may have been foolish enough to try to come out In the rondster," Ellen added. They went down the scraped steps together; not another word was exchanged on the drive to the train. It was an early train: commuters were stamping on the snow-tracked platform. Ellen placed hersel" at a window and stared blindly out, making no attempt to entertain her companion, who rattled his newspaper with a great show of Interest. t The world glittered under the risen sun. Smoke rose straight from a hundred chimneys into the clear cold air. Ellen saw a woman with a shawl tied over her hend, feeding chickens; Glbbs' full, unmistakable voice. A woman's laugh--Lillian's rare laugh, sounded In answer. Instantly Ellen's -companion flung open the door. Gibbs and Lillian were alone m the studio. Glbbs, in his painting apron, was busy with the wooden screws and cogs that adjusted his big easel. Lillian, bareheaded and wearing a splendid robe of Chinese green, was beside the fire, coffee and rolls were on the little table before her; she waa en- Joying her breakfast. CHAPTER IX Ellen had passed through several phases of violent emotion !a the past ten days, like everyone else in the house she had been undergoing tremendous mental adjustments. But more sensible or more adaptable than the others, she had disciplined herself to accept the new order of things. Ellen had the advantage of some preparation, whereas the events of the memorable Wednesday had fallen upon the others like a thunderbolt She had suspected, doubted, and dreaded, for many heartsick days and weeks before the crisis came, and now, while they all suffered In thelf^separate ways from the shock, Ellerr even experienced a desperate satisfaction. It wns over: Gibbs loved her no longer, and he knew that she knew It. For a few days the repetitloh of this fact gave her an empty, vague feeling, and a sensation of fatigue. She was always tired, and her head felt always confused. Gibbs loved her no longer. Well, what next then? She had faced terrible things before. The old leather harness, for Instance, and the feverish days of pain In the old diningroom, by the nlr-tlght stove. And later winter days, in Paris now, when she had roused in the night to listen to the buby's uneven breathing and had wakened to remember that the crib was gone, that Kose was gone^-Rose was gone! And now she must keep sane, and face these new, strange things. Glbbs. her own husband, loved another woman more than his wife, and Joe, the little brother whose simple, sturdy integrity had seemed to shine in so brilliant a contrast to this life of hypocrisies and affectations, Joe had caused misery and harm, and must take a tarnished record Into his new life as a husband. Brooding on these things day and night, yet Ellen forced herself to a certain despernte courage. She dressed in her usual scrupulous, quaint way. she made herself .walk and read, and enter into Tommy's life. She met Glbbs' stern and moody unresponsiveness with tranquil gravity, with his father alone slie was more like her old sunshiny self. Lillian and Ellen barely spoke to each other, except for the unavoidable civilities whose omission would have caused talk among the servants. Josselyn, Senior, had somewhat withdrawn Into himself since the trip to the studio, and had asked his wife to cancel all engagements for a week or two. Lillian amiably obeyed, and after that the silence and chill of hidden anger and suppressed fear fell upon the "Vlllino dell' Orto." Once George Lathrop came to dinner, and for a few hours the shadow lifted, and now and then Joe came In, perceiving that something was wrong, but assuming, as they were all assuming, that everything was normal and pleasant between the Josselyns. Otherwise they were alone. Lillian was bewildered and made a little uneasy by the suddenness with which this change In ntmosphere had come about, because, u < she told herself a dozen times a day, nothing had happened, after all. When Tom and Ellen had so abruptly entered the studio, on that eventful Wednesday morning, she had been ready with her laughing explanation of her presence there, and she had seen that they accepted It. Lillian was not the woman to be caught unprepared in such a situation. The smiling greeting with which she had risen to meet them: "Ah, now-- you've spoiled It all!" >yas daunting In another woman kissed two bundle-like I its bright sincerity. She had had a Four Coats Found Poor different coats are essential for the complete winter wardrobe, and Paris has made each type so distinctive that it occupies a separate niche In the contemporary hall of fashion, says a Paris fashion correspondent In the New York Herald-Tribune. The afternoon coat, the evening wrap, the ensemble cloak and the sports coat are all decreed by the current mode, and while the minimdm requirements of fashion may be satisfied by the first two of these, the socially active woman will find a definite demand for all of the models. The most Important type of coat-- because it cannot be omitted from even the most frugal wardrobe--Is the afternoon coat, which can be worn for formal and semi-formal daytime functions. The Paris couture has offered numerous Interpretations of this essential garment, and these have centered around two silhouettes--the • slim, straight outline and the fuller flared effect. The latter type is smarter, because It it newer and because.lt Is gradually gaining ground as the season progresses. The coat flare differs from the dress flare In that the distended effect begins at a higher line--usually slightly above the knees. It Is accomplished by the manipulation of gwlets and flounces, and In order to Impress the fuller outline more forcefully ^the waistline is often perceptibly fashioned. Fur Trlmniing Popular. Pull evidence Is given In the A>rthcomlng winter fashions of ther popularity of the fur-trimmed fabric coat, whether the material be of silk or wool. Where dress and coat/ match this Is a happy solution of (Me ensemble idea. In a striking Patou model, fittingly called tapis de chine because of the Chinese embroidery that covers the long tunic, the coat Is of navy blue satin, with deep skirt band, collar and cuffs of nutria fur In the natural beige tone. The Chinese tunic is of dull rose wool, with Intricate Chinese patterned embroidery in navy blue. The satin skirt that underlies the tunic Is of navy blue, matching the top coat. Madeline Vionnet offers winter models which feature wide bands of fur bordering either side of the front and continuing to form a pointed collar and yoke at the back. Lynx, nutria, seal and summer ermine are used as trimmings by this designer. Patou makes a fetich of the molded bodice and the slight sub-waistline flare beginning Just below the waistline and being apparent at the front and sides. His most successful model Is known as Don Pedro. This coat has created an unusually favorable Impression and Is being much copied. The original model ches Patou is In corded black crepe of a very heavy quality. It has as a novel feature a plaited apron-like flounce across the front only. It Is of severely straight cot and the apron, or tabller, barely disturbs the slender silhouette. The collar, cuffs and skirt band are of gray chinchilla rat. These are characteristic variations of the winter afternoon .coat, which recognizes few restraining Influences In its diversifications. The most typical models have high fur collars, almost any type of sleeve and are developed In ottoman, bengallne, kasha, velours de lalne and the new suede finished cloths. Black, brown and green are the leading colors. The evening wrap Is Its usutfTelaborate self this winter, and the opera season will witness as brilliant an array of gowns and' coats as ever presented. There is less fundamental variation in the evening cloak--its distinctiveness Is achieved principally through rich fabrics and .luxurious trimmings--and this greater conformity begins with the silhouette, which is most freijBsatly sti**Light. The flared types are not without representation, but they have not been accepted as eagerly in this class of dress as in others. Cape effects are among the most prominent models. The threequarter length models are featured by Vionnet, who shows a regal evening cape in black and gold brocade fitting £t the shoulders and cut In a circular movement. The same model la developed in broadtail. i Red Is Effective. • - • An effective Chanel wrap Is of red Louis XIV lame with a tiny all-over pattern done In gold threads. This model has a straight, slightly fitted back, a full apron front and Is bordered with u six-Inch strip of lapln pekin. The same house offers a striking cloak iu solr of Bordeaux red velvet. lined with matching marabou. The feature of this model Is a succession of bands two Inches wide, which are set about three laches apart. These continue to the end of the hlpllne. From these typical details It is apparentt& fttthe evening tifrytnjli* babies at a gate. The little woman In front of her. In the warm tram, was consulting an Insignificant-looking, kindly little man about n Christmas list. "The children will go out of their senses when they see It!" Ellen heard her say. Then they were In the big statloti; In a taxicab. The streets, where languid gangs of men were shoveling snow, went by. Forty-second: Fiftieth: Fifty-ninth. They were at the door. "You have some explanation of this early trip for Glbbs?" her father-inlaw usked suddenly In the lift. She turned to him tortured eyes. "Oh. yes--toothache," she answered breathlessly, abstractedly. A second later, outside the studio door, she caught his arm. They stood a moment transfixed.

And Glbbs had promptly and concernedly followed her lead. "And how'd you get in. Dad? The car broke down with Lillian yesterday on the Grent Neck hill--Torrens got In as far as the service station--did he telephone you?" "And I had to telephone the Wallaces," Lillian ad'led, wide-eyed, "and Tom, I simply Invited myself to stay with oft Mrs. Pepper at Great Neck all night. I didn't telephone you because I had this date tor an early sitting with Gibbs." "Take a look ft It!" Glbbs sa'd, at the easel. "Awfully rough now, of course! It's Just laid In." The old man. studying the canvas, nodded. "Still, you've caught ltl" he said. "Car broke down, eh?" "No. It was skidding," Lillian, at her husband's side, also looking at the portrait, explained.

Sleeves are iuvarlably ample, with still more ample cuffs, and collars and cuffs are generally of fur. Tinsel cloths, velvet, lame and metallic brocades are the principal fabrics, bright shades of red, green and brown the leading shades, and luxurious fur pelts the most prominent trimmings. The keynote of the evening wrap rests not in its details, but In Its materials and colorings. The ensemble coat is, of course, not a separate item of dress, and it must conform with the costume of which It is a part. That conformity is usually a question of material, and It is frequently manifested in the lining of the coat, which is of the identical fabric as the dress. However, there Is no set dicta on this point, and the ensemble effect may be carried out by numerous other means, such as trimmings and color. This type of costume is ap proptiate for all occasions--Informal semi-formal and formal--and the accompanying coats generally follow the lines of the regular models for these functions except that flared, effects are seldom adopted. Jean Patou's famous quand le solell tombe Is a perfect example of the Parisian ensemble--a charming costume quite dressy enough for an In formal evening dance or dinner and yet equally appropriate for a tea dansant or afternoon receptlqn.

Another typical afternoon ensemble consists of a coat and dress of navy blue velvet The long, slim coat is trimmed with border bands of dyed hare and numerous silk tassels. The dress Is exquisitely embroidered In turquoise beads and silk, this giving the name of le turquoise to the model. The sports coat follows the same general lines and details as Its afternoon prototype, except that the materials are different Rough and fleecy woolens in Scotch and Tartan plaids, gayly colored, take the place of the more conservative fabrics and hues employed for ordinary daytime wear. Apart from the mechanical details of the sports coat there Is another noteworthy consideration which places this item of the feminine- wardrobe in a class of Its own. It is the symbol of youth, and Its boyish effect must be paramount, even when worn by the more mature woman. This idea runs directly counter to the present temper of the mode, which has generally discarded the concept of youth eternal and has designed separate models tor debutante and matron. Yet the exception is logical enough. When Mr. Old Grad comes back to the bowl to cheer his alma mater he casts the years behind him and for the moment revives his undergraduate days.

About Present Fashions for Women and Flappers Nowadays there Is no particular "age" about either clothes or hats. The generally accepted idea is that the same style of hat and practically the same frock Is equally suitable for grandmother, mother, and daughter. Frequently this Idea hss lamentable results. The close-flttlng hats do not always suit elderly women. These small hats which cover up the hair entirely are apt to look very hard nnleas thsjr are trimmed softly. A famous Paris milliner--a highly accomplished man--says that In no circumstances whatever must a suspicion of fringe be seen under the hat nowadays, but a face that Is no longer young needs the softening effect of fluffy hair--Just a little of It. And then the actual brim of the bat however narrow, should alter with the flight ait years. Nine times In ten a middleaged woman looks years younger In a small hat with an almost straight brim than In one that hides part ot her face and most of her hair. % - J^mmwni toad* er« a good fnuutmsnt Road --W0ta*«x*cnM Building Far Behind the Automobile .
