HUMOR OF THE HOUR.

When the man whom the joke Is on
tells the story himself, you are dispos-
ed to believe him. This Is from the
early experiences of a Detroiter who
seldom touches anything that some one
does not come running TO him with
check.
IL never did care for big weddings
he relates. $50 / went away from home
quietly one day and in two weeks re-
turned as husband of the girl to whom
1 had been engaged months before.
During q long time had been pestered
by letters from a susceptible old maid
who lived within calling distance of
our house, yet insisted upon transmit
ting her avowed affection for me
through the mails. Some of the boys
in the town kept her In the faith that l
was hopelessly smitten with her, and
she wrote industriously without regard
to the fact that never answered. She
attributed this neglect to shyness on
my part.
when we reached home from the
wedding trip, there was heaping peck
of communications from her, and they
were continuing to pour in steadily.
They were a warm collection in prose
and doggerel. OF course my wife DIS
covered them and actually seemed
amused, but it struck me as mighty sc,
rious. l knew that the truth would
sound awful fat and fishy, so l hasten
ed to my old, tried friend, the druggist
stated the case and told him for heav'
ems sake to square me.
THAT evening he called and unblush
ingly told my wife that some of my OLD
chums had put up job on me, had
been writing love letters and had made
free with the signature Of my alleged
admirer. / have no idea that my wife
believed the story, but she kindly pre-
tended to. Meantime it took the drug
gist and a corps of able assistants
about ten hours to convince my CORE
spondent that she should not drag mt
into court for breach of promise
though the only attention l ever pail
her was to get on the other side of thu
street when l saw her first. Funn!
people, these women."-Detroit Ere,

The Blouse In Autumn.

When the autumn begins to create
change in the momentous affairs or
dress, the blouse waists will appear
under the guise of black and white
silk muslin or chiffon webs, richly en-
broidered and laid over tinted silk lin
ings. They can be worn with any sort
Of silk, satin or fine cloth skirt, and
those women who invariably force ev-
cry season have been appearing in
beautiful hand worked bodices at
smart country house morning enter
tainments.
In heavier and more durable goods
the novelty blouses are already max
ing a show, and a new silk, called peau
de suede, is what they are built Of. n
peau de suede surface, tinted in pale
tan, displays interviewer spots OF
brown velvet of graduated sizes, tech
nically termed the mushroom pattern
and to find a blouse of more interest
ing and modish goods than this wo-
man will be obliged to search far and
wide.
1t seems almost essential to mention
| here In connection with blOuses that
any maid or matron who is obliged to
conduct ut once with skill and economy
the destinies of her wardrobe for the
approaching fall will do herself good
turn by investing in a white satin skirt.
1t Is to be The basis-in fact, it has
been the basis all summer-Of every
variety of blouse. No woman who
knows the laws of clOthesland mounts
her blouses, be they grave or gay of
aspect, on n black satin skirt. She
buys instead the richest ivory white
satin she can find, gives it to a good
dressmaker who will cut it on hand
some lines, but decorates it with moth
ing more than a narrow, thick fold of
satin at the foot or with three inch
wide tucks.
1t Is amazing what rough, steady
usage such a skirt can endure and how
with a few blouses it will answer as
the very backbone and cornerstone OF
theater toilets, dinner dresses, at home
costumes and at a pinch for ball
gown. Now, important as it is to dwell
on the merits of the white satin skirt,
just SO important Is 1t to caution every
woman against its black satin fellow.
That garment Is an old soldier on I'M

ly to be recalled to active duty.-Mil-
