HOSIERY is a
subtle accessory
The Lucile shades in IOLEPROOF HOSIERY are unquestionably subtle and smart
IT
TAKES a sensitive eye to choose the subtly correct colour in hosiery. But all smart women realize its per- fection when they see it worn. That's why Lucile's shades in Holeproof are such a boon:
Lancile of Paris, lioth colour and fashion expert, creates for each estime colour of the season just the one perfect shade in Holeproof Hosiery. Her authoritative advice is being welcomed by smart women everywhere. And Holeproof's long wearing quality is also welcomed by them. They bless the "Ex" reinforcement at the toe as they wear each pair of rich natural silk hose monthslonger.

Eva was getting out of the car and did not answer him. She was glad that her face was turned so that he could not see the red that she felt flaming into it.
It was at a time when she was plunged deeply into doubt of her- self that Bob came to pay the call his mother
insisted and sister upon. Brent had just left her, after again vainly urging her to move to New York.
Helen had been desperately lonely when he left. "Why am I so obstinate?" she had cried to herself. "Why can't I do as Leno wants me to?"

Brent nodded courteously but was very slow a-borning. there was no welcome in his man-

Eva went to sit beside Helen on the great divan before the fire. In her eyes there was a faint mist
of tears.
"We were talking something over," Helen admitted, "but it isn't at all private. Leno wants me to leave Bramblewood and live in New York."
Eva's eyes sought Brent's. He did not look at her.
"But somehow I've grown to love this place," Helen' went on. "I think I shall remodel it and live here always."
Brent impatiently crushed out the cigarette he had been smoking. "But I've taken in apartment for you," he expostulated.
Helen smiled at him, seized sud- denly with a desire to tease. "But you aren't my guardian any more, Leno dear," she said.
