FANCY NELVETS.

II is n pity stamped velvets were
doomed because they became common.
About two years ago these velvcts
were shown in wonderful assort-
ment. The stamped vclvets caught

could reproduce these velvets chcaply.
In fact, some '7crc sold at sixty

paid seven times this sum for material

Crushed vclvcts are always good and

crees that these velvet robes be

The man was in such n position that
he could not move backward or for

brought ropes and with great difficulty
succeeded in rescuing him from his

FREAK DINNERS NOW BAD FORM

There are in New York n number OF
women who make u handsome living

SO much freak entertaining was being
done in New York and ar Newport.
Paris set that fashion with peacock

dinner, the white luncheon and the
other color fads for eating followed
naturally. and every hostess was vie

happened 10 these people.
1t was Tuesday afternoon that NJ.
Berdeen. who is always looking out
10: the pleasures OF his guests, spied
n big bull moose on the shore Of
thought what fun ii would be to chase
the big animal in canoe.
Calling 70 Miss CoOmbs. Mr.. Patten
and Jack Dyer. the guide. Mr. Berdeen
started toward the big animal. who at
once began TO swim out into the lake.
Quickly jumping into a canoe, the
quartet started. Driven by the lusty
strokes of the guide and the camp pro
prictor, thc canoe was not long in over
taking the animal, who was making
frantic efforts TO escape across the
lake
Upon reaching him, Dyer who was
in the bow. seized the moose by the
nj ha nm at
this point that the most remarkable
occurrence happened. The party was
about 100 yards from The shore when,
on turning around. one Of them saw
two COW moose making out from the
shore.
The smaller animals soon overlook
the big bull. WHO was sadly bandi-
capped by having TO drag the canoe
full Of people and they began to swim
alongside.
Ii was at this juncturc, however.
that the fun nearly became serious.
As the four people. each one wanting
10 get n better look at the big moose.
crowded forward into the bow Of the
frail craft. il nearly swampcd, the bow
coming perilously near going under.
How Mr.. Berdeen got over the three
people and resting himself on the
moose, held mp tho canoe. no one can
tell, but he did, and for mile and n
half the big animal towcd the four pco.
PIE in the canoe. while the two COW
moose swan alongside. All this time,
too. the bow OF the craft was being
kept up by Mr.. Berdee1. who was sup
porting it one The mOose'S back.
When the party had travelled as far
rs il wished and the moose was puff
ing and blowing at .-reat rate, he was
released. and the four occupants OF
the canoe said that IL was sight
worth going miles TO see the way that
moose. even in his wnded condition,
bumped himself and made the water
fly getting across the remainder of the
lake 10 the opposite shCre.
Had not the performance been wit
messed by n number Of people from the
camp the tale which the occupants Of
the canoe told would have been hard
10 believe. AS II is. however il is
vouched for by enough people. so that
there is absolutely no doubt OF its

German Army Needs Officers

The German Army is badly in need
OF officers. This is due directly TO the
increased cost of living. officers need
more clothes and more expensive
equipment than they did formerly. and
the number of high priced banquets
where expensive wines are drunk has
increased greatly. This. combined with
tine decline OF agriculture. has kept out
OF the army many young men who
otherwise would dave adopted that
profession. Moreover. officers are gem
orally retired after twenty years ser.
