enough money. AT certain gro
Gerry store he had credit.
Thither he went, where he
purchased q dollars worth of
coffee, which he readily sold
to an acquaintance for fifty cents

police notice not long since. The

missal. The man was arrested
and notes from small girls
were found in his pockets. 1t de-
veloped that the man was connect
ed with low down theater. The
parents Of the children would not
prosecute him, so he was dis
charged.

SUMMER GIRLS HAMMOCK
1t Is a Gorgeous Affair and Ha
Many Uses.
Fascinating Gowns Designed for It's
Occupancy and Hosiery Which
is Very Bewildering.

The girl who is spending the season
at a fashionable hotel is forced to miss one
of the most fascinating pleasures of summer
time, namely, the hammock. At the really
swell Hotels nowadays one rarely sees a
hammock, for the reason, perhaps. that
the hammock is n sure destroyer OF lace,
chiffon or theafashionable costumes that
custom demands must be worn all day at the
popular watering places.
1t is only that fortunate young woman
who is summering at some country farm
house, or big. roomy mountain hotel where
there are plenty Of trees about the shady
piazza hooks, that can enjoy the true com
fort of the hammock. The watering place
girl can only dream of the luxury, and the
piazza rocking chair is the nearest approach
TO the graceful, swinging couch, Cano-
pied by green waving branches, which
her sister in the mountains spends the
long morning hours in.
The tactful maiden studies her type
before she makes up her mind TO adopt the
hammock as permanent back ground
There are certain styles OF girl that look
as though made for a hammock In it they
are marvels of grace and prcttinesS, but
the stout. comfortable, well fed young
woman who make fetching picture on
bicycle is as much out of place in ham
mock as ii is possible to imagine.

kind that looks well in a hammock She

This summer girl not only has the regula-
tioD tag upon her hammock, with her name
thereon, but she attaches it with huge bow
OF ribbon matching her cushions in color.
The ends of this hang so low that they sweep
the grass beneath the float in every passing
breeze.
OF course there are frocks specially
for hammock wear. and stockings and
shoes of attractive design TO be worn
when reposing in the luxurious swing.
At no time in the career of summer
girl are her feet more in evidence than
when she is poised in her hammock or
getting in or out of il.
This last opera ton is one which it
takes considerable deXterity and grace
to accomplish successf ully, but after

men manage to do it without turning

Here she makes a veritahle illustration OF
the verse:

The girl with dark eyes and brown hair

of the same rich hues; deep crmsons and
olive greens and here and there Persian

Alittle faded old woman, ,anorGinary huck-

a healthy looking, bareheaded girl, seated
astride the effects in question, and black
cat, drew.a curious crowd to the corner OF
Twelfth and Grand avenue the other after
noon, says the Kansas City Times.
The woman was clad in plainest calico, her
feet were bare and her head was protected
by a hideous red sunbomet. She had rested
the front of the cart on the curbstone and
said she was waiting for the appearance of
her ''oe man, who was hunting table salt"
The child stared st6liily at the gathering
crowd and thoughtfulIy pulled the cat s tail,
to which the outraEedIfolne made indig-
nant protest 10
A patrolman came upIand made the crowd

Here the old man turned up and ordered
his little caravan TO march. The little
height, trotted off down the street, her bare
feet pattering on the hard pavement. Her
husband, a great, -strapping six-footer,
slouched on behind.
To a reporter the husband claimed the
name of Bill Smith and said he and Mar

the Cherokee tribe of Indians.

"Marthy" has already dragged the cart
nearly 100 miles and has 800 more TO go
before her long overland journey is ended.
