ST. LOUIS HOSPITALITY.

n Queer Chicago Yarn About n Hos
tess, Her Guest and n Senlskin Sack.
From the Chicago Times-Herald
Last year Chicago girl visiting friends
in ST. Louis attended a reception in that
city. There was big crush of St. Louis
social lights, and when the fair Chicagoan
prepared to depart she was unable to find
her valuable sea)skin sacque anywhere In
its place was an old sealskin worn and di-
lapiiated.
The hostess regretted the mistake ex-
ceedingly. 1t seemed certain that some
thoughtless guest had worn away the miss
ing garment by mistake. She felt sure that
the sacque would be returned the next day
With an apology. In the meantime she sug-
gested that the Chicago girl wear the old
garment that had been left in its place
and this was done.
But the sealskin was rot forthcoming the
next day or the next week. The hostess
was annoyed almost to the verge of dis
traction, and offered to pay for the miss
ing sacque, but of course this proposition
was declined.
At length the chicagoan's visit was ter
minated and she returned home. One day
she stepped into a big store on State street
where she had purchased the lost sealskin
to inquire If the firm could suggest any way
by which 20 Identify the garment positively

but every garment which We make is
marked on the inside of the skin with our

the date. By removing the lining this can

the reply.
Then / wish you would examine this

1t was the work Of a minute to rip a seam
in the lining. Upon the back of one of the

The Mistake Two Americans Made
About a Fete to the kaiser.
From the st. Paul Globe
When Tom Bivens was very many years
younger: when he had just been graduated
from college, he went to Europe, and saw
everything on the continent which strang-
ers are permitted to see. He had with him
companionable alumnus. and the way
they did London, Paris and Brussels was
wonderful. By the time they reached Ber-
lin they were cosmopolites.
Immediately after finishing their dinner
Tom ard his chum sailed forth to behold
those much-ialked-of German beer gar
dens. They did not stop to ask from the
Interpreter where the best were, but felt
sure they would meet one before many
streets should be passed.
So on they went for few squares until
they came upon a brilliantly lighted place
filed with trees and plants, hooks and
corners. Officers were moving about with
gayly dressed ladies, music playing, dear
little round tables here and there. 1t was
charmipg-just what they expected.
"Shall we go in and have glass of
beer?" said one to the other.
by all MEANS.
Gates stood wide open. Servants in rows
bowed them in. The interior was more
fascinating than the glimpse through the
trees had promised. Several men in uni
form stared at them. They leisurely seat
ed themselves at small round table and
one tapped with his cane. One Of the men
who had been standing at the door, after
a hasty consultation with the others, ap-
preached them. He wore many decora-
tions. What a swell waiter,' said one.
The man in question demanded, What do
you want here?" of course in the German.
Two beers" answered the student, hold
ing up two fingers to make himself un-
derstood.
Thunder weatherv' exclaimed the man
In uniform and In two seconds time they
found themselves landed heavily on the
sidewalk and there left, with numberless
German words which they had not learned
at the university.
They afterward found that the brilliant
ly lighted garden" was a private one and
that they had assisted for brief space al
q fete given to the emperor.

lady started in to talk politics, and in a

To Make nm Oriental Booth.

Starting with the idea that what we do
shall be an aesthetic solace, indicative of
ones personality, let US consider first the
construction of an oriental BOOTH" writes
John Sparrowhawk. on "Divans and Cozy
Corners in the October Ladies' Home
Journal.
"a cot bed, with legs sawed of, with a.
woven wire spring and a four-inch mat
tress. will do for a serviceable couch But
to make a seat which Is not so apparently
a makeshift, construct of rough boards a
square frame, six feet six inches long by
four feet wide and fourteen inches deep. On
line two inches below the upper edge all
around bore half-inch holes four inches
apart. Take clothesline and lace back
and forth through these holes. drawing the
line tightly. This makes a good spring for
the mattress to rest upon. The front edge
of the wooden frame should be beveled so
that 1t will come sharp against the mat
tress. Cover the woodwork and cushion
with Bagdad curtain or some grasscloth.
The canopy is where ones inventive skill
is put 10 the test, however, and no rules
for draping will meet every condition. The
available curtains. shawls or strips of cloth
vary, and general suggestion can only be
offered. Experiment with pins until the de-
sired effect is obtained and then sew or
tack for permanency."

The wind was blowing a gale. bringing on
its invisible wings sky full Of sharp snow
sprfnkles. which beat on the windows and
ratified through the leafiess trees as IL the
hunters of the night were shooting the air
full of bird shot, while In q cozy corner
sat a retired police officer, who listened
at the cracking elements outside and shiv-
cred to himself just to emphasize the fact
that he didn't have to go out into that sort
of thing any more forever.
Il remember" he said to Star reporter,
when 1 had the most powerful argument I
ever feard, exemplifying the truth Of the
maxim: Too many cooks spoil the broth
1t was an unusually dark night, though,
and as I pulled along the rough street In
the suburban ward, where my duties led
me when first came on the force, felt
that policeman's lot was not a happy one.
though at that time that very truthful
little poem hadn't been thought of, though
all OF US knew the facts very well. At the
country end of the street the houses were
Iar apart and the last one was big one
and was occupied by rich family.
Il mad been expecting that some night 1t
would be raided by burglars who know a
coed thing when somebody tells them about
II, and l was pretty sure they knew of the
me things In that lonesome house which
OF us, burglars and police, knew about It,,
and my instructions were to be extra care
lui on dark and ugly nights. For the
same also received five dollars a month
ircm the owner. But nothing on earth can
mead on burglar when once he gets sot'
on doing thing, and SO on this night I
was rot greatly surprised in approaching
the house to hear pistol shot and a cry
Of alarm
II hurried to the place and at the upper
window saw the head of the owner of the
mousse and he called to me to hurry around
TO the back window, as his son had shot
burglar there. I went, and at the foot
or OF ladder I found the body Of a man.
Inc son was at the top of the ladder and
said he had shot him as he went down.
turned him over and found he was still
alive With a bullet hole through his chest
Deatn came soon, though not before he
told Us lie had killed some one in the
house"
This created a panic and the members
OF the family left the burglars side and
rusf ed into the house, for they thought
It might be some Of their own household
But 1t was not, for the man whom they
found with knife wounds all over his chest
and neck was evidently another burglar,
ana the two had met there Unexpectedly,
and one had been killed by the other with
out knowing who his victim was. We sup
struggle had taken place, which had
awakened the son, who killed the burglar
VINO was trying to escape after he had as
ne supposed, killed one of the men of the
house he was robbing.''
Ugh, exclaimed the reporter, as he but
tor ed up his great coat to keep out the
W1Eds and SHOWS he was compelled to min
thar he liked, and the policeman shivered
again.
