His Definition

And what is a girl?
A morsel of ribbon and feathers and
lace;
A mischievous elf with an angels face!
A thorn that will tease you,
A rose that will please you,
A wil.-o'-the-wisD for eluding your
chase
And that is a grill
And what is a girl?
A riddle whose meaning no mortal
can guess;
With "No" on her tongue when her
heart would say "Yes!"
Half artful, half simple,
Half pOut and half dimple,
Whose eyes will betray what her lips
would repress-
And that Is a grill
& Harlem Life.

The National Basketball League, on
the verge Of disintegration, as now re-
sorting to underhand and questionable
methods in its frenzed attempts to boil
ster up its falling fabric and at the same
time deal the American League n fatal
blow. This much was implied by the ex-
traordinary secret session held at Yren-

prove it. Both Burlington and Whining

American League circuit, have been ap-
preached with n view to amalgamating
them to the National organization to take
the place of the dead wood that sooner
or later must drop to the ground from
. sheer rot.
l The Camden team is the only money
maker in the National League The
others are merely hanging on TO a forlorn
hope for better days. Bristol. with its
high-salaried players, would have bowed
down to the inevitable long ago. but for
the fact that its position at the head OF

respiration. The Trenton team is moi

They understand ologies Of various
sorts. can play little, sing more or

under the influence of an artistic
mania. They can dance, golf, flirt,

StraWs Of Fashion

Some Of the new skirts are almost
startling in their plainness, after the
founces and frills and ribbons
and trimmings with which
women have been adorning that i'm
portant article of wear.
The newest spangles are either heart
or leaf-shaped and the hole by which
they are sewed on being at the extrem-
ity, they hang loose.
Sleeves are more elaborate but not
so large and the little cuff at the elbow
turns down instead of up.
In embroidery the blind effects have
the greatest vogue and it is so dainty
and wears so well that it is likely to
long remain in favor.
Lace is used more than embroidery
on all corset covers.
Carved flowers are favorite decora-
tions for umbrella handles. White
enamel encircled with leaves cut i'm
antique silver and topped by a white
marguerite formed one of the hand
soonest handles seen for many a day.
Umbrellas are more quietly elegant
this season than they have been for a
long time.
The lace collar has entered upon a
new era of popularity. 1t appears in
various forms. but the leading shape
is the shawl collar with fichu ends.
The fad Of the moment in regard to
the black gowns is to have Just a little
touch Of color, preferably pale blue, at
the throat and waist.
Particularly smart women are wear
ing chiffon and liberty silk boas with
muffs to match.

REFORM. OR CHANGE2

The evervexed question of spelling reform is agtat
ing the brains of Cbauauqua and WILL as usual come
naught 1t gives something like oense to an educated
person to familiar word shon of half its letters
and the only instance in which permanent change has
been effected is the dropping of the letter "a" in such
words as honour favour" &c-a questionable re-
Iorm' which has never been countenanced by English
writer's and not accepted by many American casscsts
However advantageous it may be to programme to be
cartaed we don't care tosee three ofts letters left out
nor onethlrd of the decalogne omitted 1t vexes the
American soul that England will persist in speaking and
writing English instead of United States and still more
when, on investigation, fine that they are right as
when they say lift for elevator calmly asking Us
nov we can elevate" anything down. 1t would be a
useful work for Chauaugua to try delete from our Ian
zuaee such words as elevator" Refrigerator and the
IKE They smack too much of the refinement that saws
