joyed a peaceful conversations until the
last guest had arrived and been disabled
in the prevailing manner.
This arrival was the signal for the be-
ginning of the left-handed work that had
been laid out for US. There were several
contests planned. You can imagine how
lively they were when you know that our
right hands could not be used even to
help. These members were to be consid-
cred as nen-existent, Marion adjured us.
Our poor lefts must do all that was 10 be
done.
One Of the contests was in writing.
Pencils and tablets were provided and
each contestant was commanded to write
twelve times over the copybook sentence,
writing Maketh a Ready Man"
Very few, indeed. of those present had
sufficient practice in left hand chirography
20 write even legibly, and this fact made
the competition Of the merriest kind.
The two competitors whose writing was
considered most readable received re-
spectively. pretty writing portfolio IN
leather and a silver pen-holder.
Another contest was announced as soon
as the awarding of prizes had taken
place, and the little speeches of thanks
from the different recipients were made.
For this second trial all guests were in
vited to step to blackboard which hung
In a convenient position on the wall, and
to draw a picture of an animal in colored
crayons.
No limits were set to the play OF the
ina gination Any animal in any position,
would serve.
The prizes were decided by vote. each
voting for any drawing not his own.
The first prize winner received a copy
OF wild Animals 1 Have Known" The
second a bronze paper weight for the
desk, representing a sleeping Lion.
The last tourney was as clever as those
which preceded 1t. 1t consisted of qUoit-
throwing with the left hand, and proved
quite difficult enough to keep the fun
well on the jump
A statuette of the classic discus throw
er was the trophy in this contest.

New York. July 27.-The eternal femi-
nine does nothing but talk bargains these
days. She swoops into the city by the
early Tnorning train that her husband
patronizes, and struggles about in the
heat from shop to shop, with eyes for none
but the placarded counters. In the cool
OF the evening she sits on the veranda
steps of the summer hotel and makes the
ears of all the other women tingle while
she brags of the sales she has seen and
prof1ted by.

New York, July Fit is not always
necessary in order that a woman should
be we'll gowned for her to gather her
clothes entirely from the renowned i'm

Cured would be much too great for the
majority of women to stand UP against.
Many, therefore, to keep pace with the
changes Of fashion, use. instead OF money
their own ingenuity. Or, as one woman
has cleverly summed up the situation.
IF one hasn't the money, one must have
taste"
A decided and pretty innovation this
year has been the jackets of silk which
are worn with lightweight cloth skirts
They are of either taffeta, corded or
heavy grograin silk, and in plain black
or small black and white plaid. The
latter, those of the shepherds plaid are
regarded as being particularly smart In
abe design of the making up they are
quite plain, snugly fitted and strapped on
the seams with stitched bands of cloth
that match the material of the skirt with
which they are worn. Below the waist
line in the back they taper into a point
or long, oval scallop. In front they most
ly hang sufficiently open to show that
they are faced with black cloth. and
have revers OF the same cloth, which are
solidly stitched Whether the stitching is
done with white or black silk is entirely
a matter Of taste. Should II be with

and just as the train began to move
he made his way to the door and jumped
off. The girl gave him a stiff nod through
the window and remained perfectly mo-
tionless until the train was slowly rum

At this point she quietly picked up the
book and the box of bonbons, placed them
together on the window ledge, and, tip

offending objects into the blue water be-

Something more severe and useful, es-

is her washable stock of white linen, with

For cooler days she has three possible
smart variations in collar trimming for

with little blue rings Another is a stock

There are also seen black satin jackets
that are made plainly and strapped with
stitched bands of Goth. The stitching
on them is always done with black, and
they ara invariably lined with white sat-

the shoulders a fanciful stitching on cloth
holds the plsits in place, and almost with

New York, Aug. 2O.-A director of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad said Saturday: "No holder of
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe stock
should feel alarmed for moment be-
cause of the reports of damages to
the corn crop of Kansas. Our divi-
sion which covers the state of Kansas,
carries about Az per cent. of corn.
The wheat crop of Kansas has yielded
over 100000 bushels and is the
largest in the history of the state.
This in itself means an immense tom
mage for our system and for all other
roads entering the state. 1t is true
damage has been done to the corn
crop of Kansas and that from pres
ent indications the yield will be about
50 per cent. of the first estimate.
The corn acreage of Kansas was large
ly increased over last year and the
yield per acre was expected to be ex-
ceptionally large, in other words, "a
bumper crpp of corn was anticipated.
AS it is Kansas farmers will receive
higher prices for their corn, and had
this been a bumper crop, prices
would have been SO low as not to have
paid freight"

Must Accept Old Books.

A ruling has been made by Super
intendent Nelson that under the
text book uniformity law, contracting
firms are compelled to accept all
school books that have been used
within six months in exchange. The
contention was whether the cover
and leaves must all be intact. Mr..
Nelson held that such was not neces-
sary. 1t is provided that books now
in use shall be exchanged for new
ones at not more than so per cent.
of the maximum prices at which the
books were adopted. Provision is a.
so made that the counties operating
under the uniformity contract shall,
at the expiration of that contract,
be entitled to the exchange privi-
