The trader had teen against as hard a proposition as tkis before, but not exactly of this kind. If he weakened, his authority was gone. He rubbed hU chin once more and looked vacantly out through the small window In front of the store. Then his eyes wandered the different objects aoout the din-

Lifting the lid of the tall desk he took out a large sheet of writing paper and with a great show of deliberation.v he reached for a pen-and dipped It li!(to the ink. , "Who are his friends that will rfot let him come?" he demanded fiercely. They were all known. One by one they were called off and slowly and carefully each name was written down on the paper. There were nine Altogether. He now held up the sheet so they could see the names written upon It, and then walking briskly across the room, opened the letter book, placed the

Bowing fronts, under-arm gores that outline the figure and a back that Is laid In inverted plea'ts to give a Watteau effect. The upper edges of the back are finished with rovers. Bolero fronts that are softly draped from the underarm seam to the centr- front have revere that roll over at the upper edge and meet those of the back at the shoulders. * The sleeves are In bishop style with deep pointed hell cuffs, and at the neck Is a turn-over collar.

A tip for you. An Inch-wide stitched band like the bodice Is much more becoming when n contrasting waist and skirt are worn, as a belt to match the skirt makes oue look so mnch shorter-
