haven't exactly succeeded as yet.
A Chicago society girl, daughter of
millionaire, took a ride in a police patrol
wagon day last week through the shop
ping district. She was seen and recognized
by many acquantances and others who knew
her by sight only, and the incident caused
grea. sensation. The presence of the young
woman in the wagon was heroic deed
her part. AS she was promenading State
street her curiosity was attracted by a crowd.
Drawing near she found that it had collected
around a little boy who had slipped and
broken his leg She recognized in the little
sufferer her cousins son. Two policemen
had sent for the patrol wagon. The young
woman told where the boy lived and offered
to take him home in cab. The police
obdurate. Police rules called for trans
portation in the patrol wagon. 1--WE will
take him wherever you say. but he must go

gave up. Well" she said. "if he must
go home in a patrol wagon I'll go home in it.

the society girl climbed in after him, and
the policemen mounted guard on each side.

headgear this year, it seems to me-" said

This is new industry which bids fair to
be very popslar one Tor almost every
woman in society must necessarily collect a
great deal of excellent material which is too
good to be thrown away, and which she
does not know how to use, but which. under
the deft fingers of a skillful modiste, may be
used over again with charming results. "In

accounting for the numerous confections,
