Saved Friend from Bore

''You appear to be unusually glad
to see me- remarked man surprised
at the effusiveness of the greeting of
which he had been made the object in
entering the office of friend whom
he was accustomed to see every day.
II am always glad to see you,'' said
his friend, subsiding into his usual

"but do you know that when you hove

"Curious sensations for a man to
have during business hours in his
office, far from any water" said his
friend, who began to look him over
with rather grave face.

VoQue of ParasoIs.

The coming summer girl will be a
study in parasols. Never were these
charming accessories of a woman's
toilet gotten out in such artistic
shapes and such infinite variety. They
are embroidered ruffled, appliqued,
dotted, banded and covered with lace.
White silk parasols are made gay
with black lace butterflies appliqued
upon their silken surface and fluffy
chiffon frills falling from their edges.
Parasols of yellow silk are complete
ly covered with infinitesimal ruff1es of
ecrue val. Golden butterflies, chiffon
roses and lace rosettes are set upon
the most expensive of these summer
luxuries, which come in every shape
and every material for the delecta-

There are to-day some thousands Of

INSCRIPTIONS agents trade on this;
many do not fully understand the
meaning of terms themselves, but
have learned their lesson parrot-like,
and most of them apparently find it
unnecessary to describe in plain Eng
llsh to those about to insure what
they are contracting for. The result
is a mass of transformation and con-
fusion about the whole subject.
For instance, an agent was trying to
insure an editor on some new plan.
The editor had a theory that any fact
could be put into plain everyday Eng
lish If the man behind the fact really
knew what he was talking about.
After listening to an involved flow of
"premiums," deferred dividends, -
"cash surrender values" and "optional

Lynx:Eyed Russian Spies

Russia is prominently the land OF
spies. Democratic and socialistic
France has raised the spy system to
state function, but in Russia it is the
very soul of the state. In Moscow, in
the streets, agents Of the police are
stationed every five hundred yards;
in addition, secret agents watch the
houses day and night-one being al
1otted to every four houses, and in
every house is another spy, the porter.
90 where you will, you are never out
OF the watchful eye of the police. You
brush against spies in your hotel, as
in the theaters; in a restaurant, as in
the drawing room of a friend. 1t is
riGiculously easy to recognize those
you meet in the fashionable resorts
They have evidently been Instructed
to disguise themselves as gentlemen,
and for one of them the livery of a

Il should say his age at his death

$4,000 on 20 to shot, his horse win

Simple Evening Frocks.


One OF the prettiest ideas that the
season shows in simple evening gowns
is the use of silk bands edging ruff
f1es of mousseline de sole, or the same
idea on other thin material. A girlish
frock is of white mousseline de sole,
mounted over pink silk. The skirt is
trimmed with flounces of wide valen-
ciennes, with the points falling into
a straight band of blue velvet. The
same idea with narrower lace and
bands makes a fichu arrangement
and there is a blue sash.
An equally simple froclz is of white
crepe, with irregular lines of silver
running through the stuff. The cor
sage is cut in surplice fashion and
crosses with line of blue velvet
bows. The bottom of the skirt Is
trimmed with a flounce made of a
broad liberty ribbon, edged and
headed with ruching of narrow vel
vet.
This use Of liberty ribbon as trim
ming that is shirred and used as ruff
tles or shirred on both edges and used
as entredeux is an idea just launched.
A beautiful evening coat is made of
panels of Irish lace, with shirred en-
tredeux of wide liberty ribbon. At the
bottom of the garment is a band OF
ermine.

and will be welcomed, If only it goes
no further. Triple skirts are charm

looks still more diminutive in skirts
cut around in parts. The threatened
invasion by the oldtime panier and
polonaise is confidently predicted, but,
then. it's comfort to know that the
great designers are not agreed on this

the coming season, and experience has
proved that the designers may offer
this or that, but popular fancy decides
the question. So we must wait and

the device consists of two power

Bolero coats are too becoming to
be discarded. A pretty street model
after this style is developed in chest
nut brown Panama cloth, with a bo-
Zero fitted to the figure by means of

forms scollops, and is outlined with

Old STYLES in Sleeves.

Sleeves are the most talked of fea-
ture of the new spring designs. They
differ radically from the sleeves of
last season in having the puff always
at the upper, rather than the lower,
part. Deep cuffs are also much in
evidence and elbow sleeves, full and
fluffy, are never to be more popular.
The old-fashioned mousquetaire
sleeve, made famous by Bernhard. is
to be worn again. Its leg O. mutton
is not so pronounced as most of the
new models and it fits the arm rather
closely it's whole length. It is hardly
necessary to say that this sleeve is

This cuff is shaped precisely like a

knuckles and is stiffened and trim

very snug to the wrist. It is a typical
