direction of his gaze, saw the figure
of an Oriental of enormous girth
framed in the doorway. The, new-
comer wore a white tunic, buttoned
up to the ntbk, across which stretch-
ed the massive links of a gold chain.
His legs were encased in baggy trou-
sers of black silk that rustled in the
breeze and the third finger of his left
hand displayed a riag set with a large
green stone.

The trader shrugged his shoulders.
"A yellow card fluttered on to the

Oriental's eyes.

visibly from brown to gray and his

Chinese Pennington -summoned in
hot haste by his henchman• -arrived
at the foot of `ffarney's steps a bare
hundred yards behind Rabat -Pilaff. He'
took the flight at a bound and, pistol
in hand, made headlong for the trad-
er's living -room. '
As he flung open the door, a scene
of utter chaos met his eyes. The door
at the far end ofthe room was wide
open. Between this and where he
stood a table had been overturned,
from behind which trickled a steady,
dark stream. The chimney of the
swinging lamp was shattered and the
atmosphere was thick with smoke and
soot. One window had been wrenched
clean from its ' fastenings . and the
bookcase in the corner had fallen for-
wards -arrested half -way bya chair -
and had tipped its contents into a
jumbled heap. -
He pushed• -the table back into place
and recoiled in horror.
A noon in a turban of red and gold
lay full on his face. Beneath him,
lashed to a chair, lay a second form
that kicked and rocked to -and"from

S
orts Frocks
in 28 inutes
At a dreasmaking demonstration
held in. Boston a month or so ago,
Miss Lenore McCormick of'New York
City cut, sewed and fitted a sports
dress in exactly 28 minutes, 'and that
was three' minutes longer than she
had taken when she earned the title a
few weeks before of champion clfain-
lightning dressmaker of the world,
because this time the thread ,in the
machine broke. However, which is
more to the point, the costume was.
complete in every detail, from the
eight plaits in the bottom of the skirt
to the neatly bound sleeves.
When Miss McCormick started the
dress was -nothing but time yards
of polka-dotted cambric. Twenty-eight
minutes later, when Miss Mary Ackley
slipped it on, it was a perfect little
sports frock` of the Sleeveless type,
with a straight back, two -pieced front,
and set off with a white collar, a red
tie and a narrow red belt.
Miss McCormick's record as a
speedy dressmaker had preceded her,
and several hundred incredulous
women were on band to see how any
woman could turn out a finished dress
in so short a time. The advertisement
of a pattern company a while ago to
the effect that with their guide the
average woman could make a certain
dress in an hour had seemed mislead-
ing enough. But herewas a woman
who, without any evident haste, re-
quired less than half that period!. No,
wonder the audience sat on the edge
of their chairs, anxious not to miss a
single detail as to how she accomplish-
ed the seemingly impossible.
Simplicity a Time Saver
A great many women have uncon-
sciously clung to the ideas they had
about dressmaking in the days of
fitted waists and 'skirts, high collars,
plackets and multitudinous button-
holes, as well as lined skirts with
crinoline and brush binding at the
bottom. No woman could turn out a
costume like that in less than a good-
ly number of days. Numerous fittings,
then the seemingly endless wait for
the garment one was eager to wear,
left a strong impression that it re-
quired marvelous skill and much time
to make a dress.
In the meantime, all the difficult
features of home dressmaking have
silently dropped away. The modern
frock demands very little fitting, no
high collars, no separate waists and
skirts of intricate composition, and
practically no plackets and button-
holes, all of which ate up hours of
time that may be spent in much more
interesting ways to -day. And along
with these changes in style have come
patterns that are not only perfectly
reliable, but also furnish charts full
of suggestions as to economy in cut-
ting into
ut-ting„into expensive material and ideas
for making from the one guide several
frocks, each quite different frons the
other, Indeed, dresses need not de-
pend sonnrch upon the model for their
induividuality as on the material
from which they are made and the
good taste displayed in accessories.
And the manufacture of cloth have
,he t h other trades
keupt up well with ,
in their progress. They show to -day
Materials which are very lovely and
Yet prat t cal. -
Sequence Important
There aro tricks in dressmaking,:
just as there. are In other occupations,
and oue cannot learn them Without
practice. Then the work grows easier
and is Moro quickly tanned off with
each garment nide. :One of'the'inost
valuable secrets .is to keep the pieces
flat as long ,ad possible, so they may
be handled easily In. the machine.' A
two-piebe front of a dress, such as
Mise McCormick made, for instance,
should bo put together after the skirt!
portion has been plaited. When this
portion is all finished, except at the
neck and hem, it should be sewed to
the beck at the shoulder seams, but.
not down the underarm seams just
yet.- This makes it easier to finish
the neck and armholes. When these
are done, it is time to close the gar-
ment along- the two remaining long
seams and put in the him. Of course,
all- this is assuming that the pattern
has been used before' and altered, if
neeeasary,.so it exactly site the person
for whom the frock was designed.
Undoubtedly many home - dress-
makers would be surprised at the
speed with which they could make
a dress similar to the one fashioned
by Miss McCormick, if they would try
to do it in as short a time as possible.
Lagging in such work and laying it
aside often destroys one"s morale
for such undertakings: What many
women need'is the realization that the.
days of difficult,' dressmaking have
gone by. And, that realization comes
speedily 'when it is found by experi-
ment that,. the" amateur can come _re-
markably close to Miss McCormick's
time in cutting, sewing and fitting a
simple, attractive dress.,
Three Monarchs
Have Airplanes
'King of Afghanistan Joins
s
Ranks—Wants Pilot's '
License
Paris -Three Kings now have their
private airplanes -but only two show
an inclination to travel by air.
The latest of monarchs to join the.
aviation ranks was the King of
Afghanistan, who has just had le -
livered at his Royal Palace a French-
built monoplane. He has ordered an-
other craft and wants to get a pilot's
license.
Albert, Ring of the Belgians, has
his own 'plane, but makes few trips
and evidently does not care much for
flying.
The King of Egypt had his air
"baptism” ni a 50 -mile joy -ride near
Cairo -and he gurgled with delight
when the 'plane was soaring through
the air. But when the pilotmade a
bumpy landing, it is said, Fuad was
somewhat' upset and renounced all
further use of the machine.
Moet of the monarchs of Europe
have ridden in 'planes, but the "Reyna
Hangars" are not much in evidence
at present.
Poor Business
A young couple, allotted a telephone
number that formerly belonged to a
Turkish bat!} place, were frequently
rung up by mistake.
One night a man rang up and asked
for one df the company's cars to be
sent for him, and, although he was
told politely be had the wrong num-
ber, he rang again -and still again.
After midnight he rang up a fourth
time.
The irate husband went into a long
and embittered explanation of the
whole situation, explaining that he
was a private resident, that he had
certain rights, that he had no cars,
and that he gave no Turkish baths.
He rang off, congratulating himself
that he had at last put the man off.
, A minute or two later, however, the
man rang up again.
"Lemme tell you one thing," he said.
"You'll never, never get any custom-
ers that way 1 "-Helpful.

Success for the Friendly Pansy
and Points for its Culture
"Should I be asked to name my
very first choice of all the flowers I.
know and love," a certain garden en-
thusiast remarked earnedtly, "I would
promptly say pansies. They are se.
beautiful, they possess such a dainty,
sweet fragrance and charm. It
seems that each -little face reveals an
individuality or character all its own,
just like real persons."
Indeed, there is an alluring, ap-
pealing friendliness in pansies that
wins the heart, and, it is delightfully
satisfying to have, ,not one bed of
them, but many little trails here and
there in the flower garden -among
the tulips and narcissi and blue
browallia (B. elate demissa). The
browallias will grow 'a few Inches
above the pansies, spreading a little
canopy of blue stars for the pansies
to see. 1
With all the pansy's charms, many
flower lovers do not grow it or, at-
tempting to do so, do not have suc-
cess. To obtain an abundance of
large, attractively colored pansies,
the seeds should be sowed by the
latter part of August, and the plants
will bloom in early spring. Sowings
can be made in the open ground or
in the coldframe or a spent hotbed.
Pansy seed older than nine months
is not recommended, as a great many
of the seeds will have lost vitality
and will not germinate properly. As
an offset to the doubtful fertility of
old seeds, however, rather than delay
planting, it is better to use last year's
seed and sow very thickly. Usually
a satisfying number will grow, al-
-though s1osY, `and slow germination
insures the rarest colored, largest. '.
sized flowers. Remember, too, that
the rare • varieties are shy seeders
and therefore most expensive. ,One
is amply rewarded by buying the best
to be .obtained. The Giant Trimar-
dean is a fine strain; and its available
in the special colors usually wanted
inlarge quaatit;es like Lord Beacons-
field, color purple shading to white;
Giant Yellow, yellow with dark eye;
Snow Queen, pure . whitey Giant
Royal Blue, a rich royal blue;. Cardi-
nal, a rich red; Giant White, white
with purple .eye; Golden Queen, pure
yellow, and Giant Adonis, a dainty
lavender . blue. The Giant Cassier is
another lovely strain.
Cultivation
Open Ground Method: Pulverize a
perfectly clean soil to a depth of at
least six Inches and level the surface.
Over this spread an inch -thick layer
of barnyard fertilizer and over this,
in turn, spread a halt -inch -thick lay-
er of the best soil available. Pansy
plants are shallow rooters but put
out many fine surface roots, and Plac-
ing the fertilizer below the top sur-
face encourages a deep root growth;
with a shallow root growth even a
temporary drying out of the top soil
proves quite injurious, if not fatal.
Fist Time
In El !gland
I set foot in England for the first
time in March, 1903. The first thing
that I remarked was the apparent near-
ness`o'f the grey sky. In quick succes-
sion I was surprised by the youthful
look of the people, by the fresh, damp
smell,by th the dirtiness of e
walls of
I
the houses, by the vivid green of the!
fields, and last -but by no means least
-by curious stripes that lay across
many 01 the meadows. It was not till
years later that I discovered that these ,
stripes were caused by rolling the
grass in spring....
• Two or three of us went down the
Strand to Piccadilly that Saturday
night, and I was accosted by a benevo-
lent old gentleman who presumed
that I belonged to the Wild West show
at Olympia, I had never beard either
of the entertainment or of Olympia;
and I was highly indignant that an
Englishman could not recognize a
Wow -Englishman when he saw him.
But this incident called my attention
to my sun -bleached peaked bat... I -
determined to get a bowler.
I awoke the next morning to a tre-
mendous silence reigning over the
City of London, a silence broken only
by the twittering of numbers of spar-
rows down in Charterhouse Square.
As soon as I had had breakfast I hur-
ried outside to see London. The spar-
rows appealed to me tremendously;
every breath of the damp.ir seemed
fraught with new things. . I peer-
ed through the iron railings at old
Charterhouse School; I found an o1d
friend, a very grimy fig -tree, growing
against a wall In the Square. Then
I went forth into Aldersgate Street
and discovered St. Paul's, I knew it
was really St. Paul's because a police-
man told me... .
Soon after my arrival I went down
to Welwyn, dor Hertfordshire, for the
day. And there, for the first time,
I saw a daisy. I went down on my
hands and knees on the wet turf to
see it closer, and when I looker! up
I saw that all the field before me was
carpeted with daisies. I rose and
went forward among them as it were.
upon wings. This was the land of my
fathers. -From "The Autobiography

Are upheaved and through the portals
Of my heart Dome free as. air,

petition is Welcome
Toronto- Members of the Federa-
tion of British Industries party
which is touring Canada met repre-
sentative Ontario business men at a
luncheon at the Royal Canadian
Yacht Club. .An under current of
mutual understanding was evident in
the addresses.
A. B. Cooper, ohairman of the To-
ronto Branch of the Canadian Manu-
facturers Association, who presided,
declared that not only would Cana-
dian manufacturers receive, gladly,
British products which are not manu-
factured in Canada. But that they
would welcome competition in their
own lines from British industrial
,concerns.
Col. W. H. Price, Attorney -General
of Ontario, representing the Ontario
Government, told the British• repres-
entatives that they would not find the
Canadian market an easy one to en-
ter, but he asserted that if they put
forth sufficient effort, they would find
it a tremendously profitable one.
