Franklin Jones Had Smallpox

Franklin Jones, a very black man from
Maysville, KY, walked into the office of
the City Hospital yesterday and calmly
announced that he believed he had small
pox. A very cursory examination con-
WINGED the doctors that Franklin did not
need another guess as to his ailment, and
he was hustled off to the contagion house.
DR.. Carter, of the city health office, tried
to ascertain from Jones if he had rambled
around the city any length of time, but
the colored man stuck to the story that he
had just arrived from Maysville via an
empty freight car and had been with no
one. He is about twenty-seven years of
age.

but she had never suspected it was trainedi Then Bertie poised the hat he intended to try high in air, gave his neck a little shake in his collar, looked right at himself in the glass for mo- ment, appeared to count one, two. three and then with formal grace let tlls hat sink upon his head. She had often thought how easily and gracefully Ber- tie handled his hat, but she had not guessed that it was practiced.
 The hat did not suit him, and he tried again. He decided that it did not go on easily, so tried three others, and finally one went into place properly. Then he stood turning his head from side to side. Next he tried taking the hat off His little side curl stuck. That would not do. The hat was too narrow at the forehead. After seven others one was found that did not interfere with the curl, but the curve of the brim was not sharp enough; the curl was too much ill shadow Would it do to wear the hat ''imperceptiby to the other side?" Heavens. mol Though Ethel could not see a bit of difference. Three more hats. One just right in every other re- spect was not a true black. and any thing but jet black ruined the shade of his eyes. Two more7-then Ethel slipped out of the side door, though she might just as well have walked out of the front door to the street. Bertie was blind to everything except the re- fection of himself ii the glass. But Ethel knows what to say when he lec- lures her again about vanity.

Boas of brown chiffon, for instance, are considered very smart, particularly when combined with knots of golden brown velvet Brown gloves, brown pocketbool1s and brown taffeta petit coats, too, are. numerous. From Paris comes the edict that with brown cos tune brown shoes are a necessity, ana Louis Quinze shoes of brown suede promise to be among the summer nov cities for piazza wear.
 or course there are other colors for those who can't wear brown-plack' for instance, trimmed with strappings of pale blue and green, and that new shade of reseda green. Nearly all the coats are continued a little below the waist line, and the blouse is considered a smarter fashion than the Eton. As for the sleeves, they all have fullness below the elbow.
 Before go on to another subject want to give a hint to the girl whose last suamer suit needs freshenlng up Introduce if possible a bit of the Per sian which is just now so fashionable-- either silk velvet or embroidery will do-- and it will make it look like this sea son costume Another thing-if you have cheviot costumes trimmed with taffeta bands, as many were last sum ner. remove the worn taffeta bands and substitute bias folds of moire.

At the meeting place of the congress, which is the First l Baptist church, a bureau of information was established, where a list of hotels and boarding houses, with the price to be paid at each, might be seen.

WHEN MEN GO SHOPPING.

Woman as a shopper has hitherto had to endure and suffer in silence untold cheap wit from mere man. Occasion ally the lovely woman has a chance ot turning and does.
 Ethel has been engaged for some time to Bertie, and after he had invited her to the opera he stirred fennel in her cup by giving her at the same time a lecture on the horrid sin called shop ping.
 day or so afterward she entered one of those men women hatshops tc select a felt adornment, as she ought to look her best when he tool1aher to the picture show. The place was as full of customers as it is fitting a swagger shop ever should be, and her special salesman, MT. Smith. was busy. She sat down in the big chair at the hack of the shop to wait for him. Of q sudden her heart leaped. Where should she hide? Bertie walked in at the door which leads from another building. For an awful moment she thought that he might have seen her come in. But no. He was looking for something, but not for her. She pushed back into the chair and was thankful that the mems part of the shop was the forward end.
 She needn't have worried. Bertie wouldn't have seen her if she had been in front of him. He was going to select a hat for himself. She had never seen a man select a hat, but she had heard how many times all of us have heard the like-that men rush into a shop, try on one hat, glove or garment, ejaculate 'Take itl' and disappear without even waiting for change. After what Bertie had said to her, she naturally expected to see something Of that sort. He want ed a high hat doubtless for the picture show, though what was the matter with his other one, Ethel wondered. He posed in front of one mirror, but he did not like the light there, so changed to another one. The light there did not suit him either, and when the salesman told him that the light was bad every where Bertie said that they ought to remedy it. Then he took off the hat he was wearing and smoothed down his hair on either side, pushing forward one little lock at the left. How often Ethel had noticed that little stray lock, the tip of which just showed to the side of the brim of his hat on the forehead,

rHE- WOMAN WITH AN IDEA.

Here is an idea for any ambitious American woman of ability who wishes to start in business for herself Mme- Fargo, a young Frenchwoman, found herself without the means of support- She started dressmaking, but not in the ordinary way. Being a woman of res finement and taste and possessed of a beautiful figure she set to work and designed several exquisite robes, fit- ting them to herself. These she took to the homes of two or three rich la- dies and offered them for sale. Need- less to say, she disposed Of these and received at once orders for others, and from these others. Soon the fame of the stylish little Frenchwoman, who was an artist in original designs, spread. Among her early clientele were several artists from the Opera Comiqua and the Comedie Francaise, until today her showrooms are crowded with a po- lite throng, the large proportion of which are Americans.

 Maisfe Bender suggests that become enga ged. To whom? Oh, anybody; that part of it doesn't matter. She says that the engaged girl has better tune of it than her unengaged sisters pe- cause all the men are forever trying to see if they can't make her change her mind. There are times when l find Maisie decidedly frivolous. I'm afraid she wouldn't have acted with the same discretion as girl I heard about last night. It was at Jack Pendleton,s club, We were dining together, and ne told me about it. "You know Dr. Bob Ark wright ?'' he began. Well. perhaps you know he's engaged to Bessie James. No? Well. it's so, and he brought her here to dine little while ago. Just ln the middle of the dinner what should come but a call for the doctor I must go,' he explained hurriedly to Bessie. It will only take me- half an hour. Would you mind staying here if l get one of my friends to keep you compa- ny?' Bessie said she wouldn't. and Bob went and explained the case 10 one Of his friends who was taking dinner by himself The friend agreed to act as substitute.
 .sThe dinner went on merrily; too nerriIy. Bob's friend began to make violent love to Bob's fancee. He told her how he had been aching to get 9 chance to see her alone and finally ask ed -her if she wouldn't allow him to write to her and if she wouldn't ar range for a meeting. The girl was highIy indignant, but she concealed her feelings beautifully. Bob at this mo- ment returned, and little later he and his fiancee left the club together Once outside, she told him all. He was so fu- risus that he was on the point of going right back to the club and making a tremendous row. Bessie, however, pre- vailed on him to do otherwise. Leave it all to me-. she said, and the doctor agreed to do so.

PICTURE T00UE OF LACE AND PLUMEs.
THE PERPETUAL PRESIDENT

pianos in city flats, it being righteously argued by Mrs. Corsonne that unceas- ing musical flats in a flat where peo- pie must dwell is an imposition not to be borne. Ip the constitution of the anticity flat piano club Mrs. Corsonne l wisely inserted the clause that the presidential term should be four years and that the president should be re- elected to succeed herself. There was accordingly no getting around the log ical conclusion that the clubs founder,
 Mrs. Calipa Poster (Mrs. John Todd) i Corsonne should be at it's head eight 1 years.
 | It is not recorded that this club SUD- pressed many pianos during these eight | years, but the organization had the | loveliest receptions, where the sweet l est and most magnetic tenors sang and 1 the ladies dressed to kill. It is also un- doubtedly true that in the course of the i eight years many pianos at least be- came cracked, and that was good so l far as it went
 l At the end of the eight happy years, 1 however, the discord of the flat pianos ! had somehow crept into the hearts of the ladies who tried to suppress them. and Mrs. Corsonne was not elected for the third term. Again she withdrew from the antipianos with the increased dignity IHaC dudeu SApeliSliSS ieiu soAN ' en her and founded the Society For the Suppression of Sneezing Tn Church, she, as before, being president. That, how ever, died a natural death while the grip season was on. and Mrs. Corsonne 1 was again a woman without presl- dency
 This vacuum continued only three
 days, owing to energetic action on the part of Mrs. Corsonne. She immedl- ately from the resources of her rich ex- | perience evolved the league for the electrocution of those enemies of the bun1an race who ask if it is hot enough or, cold enough for you. She became, i'll
 turn, president of this organization. with it's most noble and merciful object, and as such still waves.

costume is trimmed with this. The up standing collar is of the Persian, and there is Little blouse vest of it. The jack ct is laid in fine tucks stitched flat. At the waist line it is confined into belt of the Persian embroidery, and below this the jacket is continued for few inches. So you see the reaction against the Eton has begun.
 Like the jacket, the skirt is laid in crosswise tucks, which outline the fig ure. beautifully. There is 8 wide fiounce, also tucked and this is headed by a band of Persian embroidery. Now here comes the elegant part of it: The slip of the skirt and the lining of the jacket are both of Persian silk, combining the colors of the gown. The hat is of mohair straw in the same shade as the gown, and it is trimmed with a scarf of Persian silk and em- broidery like that on the costume. There was also a parasoI which went with the dress. However, I regret to say that Maisie's money gave out just then, and she didn't buy 1t. It was made of taffeta of the shade of the cos kume, with huge frills of Persian chif- ion. The idea seems to be to have ev- erything to match this spring.

'"The next day a note arrived from the

 sentimental kind Of language. Bessie answered 1t by making a rendezvous. 1t was to be on the corner nearest the club at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. A little before o'clock Bob's friend stood shivering on the windy corner. He did not see hidden in the club a score of the members watching him. Four o'clock. a quarter past 4, half past 4, went by. A quarter to 5. He gave it up in de- spair and, retracing his steps. started to go up the club steps. At this mo- ment d messenger boy all out of breath ran behind him up the steps and touch- ed him on the arm. Bob's friend seized with avidity the big pasteboard box and the letter the boy carried.
