Gray Again Popular

Gray in all shades is becoming ex'
tremely fashionable again, for all
though it has never been entirely out
for the last year, it has not been SO
popular a color, and light tan and wood
color has been considered smarter.
Now, however all the different shades
of gray and the different combinations
of gray and black, gray and white in
stripes and checks are more popular
than any other. And squirrel fur
which was so very popular to start
with but soon lost its individuality, has
taken a new lease of life and is worn
with the latest style of mixed gray
|street gowns.
Already there are any number OF
gray yelling gowns being made up

Much Bread

Many stories are told OF Sothern's
original methods of entertaining his
friends at dinner, and possibly the
most amusing is that Of the belated
guest. When, late in the dinner this
friend was announced, Mr.. Sothern ex-
claimed, Let us all hide under the
table," and down they all went save
Mr.. Sothern himself, who remained
seated. When the tardy guest entered,
Mr. Sothern rose and received him
with exquisite courtesy saying, "When
your name was announced, my guests,
for some unaccountable reason, all hid
under the table" After a few mo-
ments Of discomfort one by one they
crept out and back to their seats.

Mrs Vincent this account Of an out

large, square pieces Of bread were
placed with mathematical precision
one at each plate, and then he left the
room to bring the wine. Mr.. Sothern
saw his opportunity and, calling his
dog, cried "Tlger, the breadl Quick,

hound bounded lightly upon the table
