I'll F RIGHT OF Y1Y.

Some very ridiculous questions are asked by those who do not like to be run over by the all-conquering bicycle or some other vehicle. For instance. Director Ritter of the department of public safety in Philadelphia asks City Solicitor Kinsey: ''Who has the right of way, pedestrian about to cross the street, or a vehicle going at right an- gles. with him longitudinally with the street?' Practically. of course, the ve- hicle has the right of way Theoreti- cally both the man and the vehicle must be careful MT. Kinsey says that neither the man on foot nor the vehicle has right of way on that street cross ing to the exclusion of the other He quotes several Pennsylvania decisions on the subject. In one case the court said: There is a joint duty upon the driver of the wagon and the pedestrian upon the street; as the one attempts to cross the highway and the other drives near the fagstones, which is the usual and ordinary place for people to cross, 1t is the duty of both of them to remem- ber-the pedestrian to remember that cars or wagons may be going up or down the street, the driver to remem- Der that pedestrians may be there crossing the street" In another case the Supreme court of the common wealth held the language here follow ing: Even on a city street man must heed what he is doing, or where he is going, or he cannot complain of the consequences. This is the rule even on the sidewalk, and when he steps into the cartway he is equally bound to re- member that horses and vehicles have also right of way there to which he must give due attention, or he will be barred of complaint as to the conse- quences ,
 The learned solicitor adds on his own account that the so-called rules of the road bearing on the question submitted to him have not been legally formu- lated" as far as he can find out. and that in view of the endless diversity of circumstances he thinks no hard and fast rule could be laid down with safety. "The comparative ease and quickness of control which a pedestrian has over his movements must always be duly regarded" says Solicitor Kin sey, 'in reaching a conclusion upon the facts which any case discleses."
 In other words, if you don't give a bicycle or any other vehicle any chance to run over you, you will not be run over.

IS of some bright color, though an ef- feet even more dainty than that of starehed linen is gained when crisp white ribbon is used. The buckle on the top of the wrist may be as elabo- rate as you like, and the ends of ribbon passing through the buckle should stand out crisply with butterfly bow ef- feet. This idea is carried out in sets including wrist bands and collar to match.
 Quite as novel a wrist finish is that in the accompanying picture, which matched the revers trimming and was the bodice's characteristic feature. It was made of black chiffon rufiline and was over black satin in the revers. The bodice itself was olive green cloth, the vest being white taffeta and the collar black satin. Old jackets are many, why shouldn't they be when they have been in fashion so long? But this pic. ture shows that new ones are yet possi- ble
 An effort'was made last winter to in troduce light cloth lining for skirts in- stead of silk The idea is likely to gain some favor this season. The difference in expense is great, which is one consid eration. and another is that wooIs are now dyed with all the brilliancy that shows in silk. Cloth lining, especially for children's dresses, is distinctly more suitable than is silk, besides wearing much better and being without the ruff fling sound, which to some tastes has come to suggest vulgar display

 A novelty in the way of ribbon cuff is band or ribbon that passes on the top of the wrist through a jewelled buckle. The ribbon is fastened on the under side of the wrist to the sleeve band by stud that passes through button-hole on both sleeve band and wrist-band, much as linen cuff would be fastened. This wrist ribbon is very effective when worn just above the fall of lace that covers the hand, but when it makes the only finish at the foot of a sleeve the effect is rather trying to any but very slender hand As rule, the ribbon used matches the collar and

It is written that in the old German town Hanover there is buried a coun- tess who denied the existence of God and ridiculed the idea of the resurrec- tion. In her contempt for Christianity she ordered that after her death her grave should be built of solid masonry and covered with enormous stones. bound tightly together by iron clamps. On this tomb she ordered to be en- graved her defiant challenge that if could never be disturbed by God or man. One day the seed vessels of trees above the countess grave lodged in a small crevice in the tomb, where it soon sprouted, and, extending it's deli cate roots under the massive stones. quietly and slowly raised them from their place. the sod beneath it furnish ing nourishment for the majestic tree that has accomplished what the woman defied God to do

American and English tourists who visited Ischl, in Austria, recently, were confronted with the following notice on a sign board over the door of one of the hostelries of the place: ITO the gen. tlemans Englanders and Americaners, here you become asses Upon inquiry 1t was learned that the purport of the singular sign was that the proprietor of the place had donkeys to let which were used for excursions into the neigh boring mountains. A much traveled cobbler, who professed to be able to master the English language, was re- sponsible for the unique wording of the sign. He had translated the German sentence: "An de Herren Englander und Amerikaner, hier bekommt ihr Esel," the latter four words meaning there you can hire asses.
