THE PROBLEM
"The hunter sees a squirrel on the trunk
of tree and tries to shoot it. As fast
rs he moves around to get a good shot,
the squirrel moves around also. and al
ways keeps the tree between himself and
the hunter; finally the hunter notices he
has walked all the way around the tree.
Did he go around the SQUIRREL
We would say that the hunter did not
go around the squirrel lie simply went
around the place where the squirrel had
been.

COMICAL ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS
A funny fatality seems to inspire the
opponents Of equal rights for women
to use the most incOngruOus arguments
possible. A United States senator of
VIGOROUSLY prOfligate life, objects to
woman suffrage on the ground that 1t

cause they cannot fight: and Mrs. A.
]. George of Massachusetts,, who
spends much time travelling about lee
turing. objects on the ground that "a
woman's place Is at home"
1t suggests a story Of the old days
before Imprisonment for debt was abol-
ished in England. The rumor of a
French invasion had thrown the whole
country into excitement. An impris-
oned debtor was talking through the
bars of his window with q street beg
gar and a soldier who was consider
ably more than half seas over"

short, and with a full bloused waist
beneath. The skirt is sheath-like in
fit. with a deep fullness at the bottom.
The white gowns, with their diapha-
nous elbow sleeves and blouses, have
given a new idea to a clever manufac-
turer Of jewelry who has a little
Frenchy shop on Broadway near Twen-
tieth street. The idea is to have jewel
ed collars and bracelets to match. They
are to be worn with low-necked or col
larless wash gowns that have short
sleeves. A debutante at Sherry's diner
de luxe on Sunday evening wore the
first set have seen, and 1t was simply
beautiful. She was a blonde, and very
plump. Her gown was Of pure white
crepe-de-chine and white, heavy lace.
The lace finished in it's own irregular
design at the base Of the throat, about
which was the necklace or collarI
don't know its real name. 1t was made
of Etruscan gold chains, with four
large ovals of turquoise matrix at in
tervals. There was a very large oval
in front, one on each side and one in
the back, where the necklace or collar
fastened. The bracelet, worn on the
left arm, midway between elbow and
wrist. was fac-simile of the collar.
1t Is the period of extremes of fash

hairdressing are the low, loose knot
and the Du Barry perpendicular braid
With the low knot the front hair is
parted exactly in the middle, and is
very loose and fluffy at the sides. held
by a long and heavy new side-comb.
The knot itself is worn very low, and
Is round and symmetrical 1t is an ex-
cellent style for regular features. The
Du Barry is very much in evidence
everywhere. 1t is newer, and we do
like to try new things. Besides, for a
