JEALOUS OF BoBBIE's WIFE.
New York Woman's Excuse for Fits
 of ExtraVagance.

Women dearly love an excuse fer little extravagances, says the New York Globe. Of course, the masculine readers of this column are not expect ed to indorse this, for, accoMSg to the masculine thought, woNeSneed no excuse for their eXtravagances-- they just have them without rhyme or reason.
 An uptown woman has charming excuse for any extra indulgence in her two-year-old blue-eyed son Bob- bic and Boobies future wife. In trust for Robbie is a handsome estate which gives her great concern because she feels that she must save and econo- mize for Robbie, for Boobies college education, his European trip, and, "oh, dear!" she always adds, Boobies wife" Wearying of continued spell of economy, in moment of reckless extravaganza she'll buy lot of dear, delightful things, have her fingers manicured, her hair shampooed and take fascinating trips here and there. And then when her conscience will prick she'll say, Why not? Boobies wife will, and he won't care how much it costs" And Boobies wife won't, either. She'll spend joyously and gloriously.

 Brown, Brown, Brown," groaned the old man. Had you no more sense than to follow fool orders like that?"

I'm doing my best to cooperate" And what wretched idiocy is this 9" he said, pointing to the new sign, and then to the others, with his cane. What are they doing here?"
 Mir. Rigbys orders"
 'Well!-" said the boss. And there he had to stop, for the situation was too much for even his extended yo. cabulary.
 When he got breath he said:
 There's another sign in your hand Brown. What is it?'
 "Well-oh, that?" stammered Brown going red.
 Let's see it" said the boss. What. ever it is, heaven knows it can be nc worse than the others"
 And with that he took it and read this:

 Shortly after he saw boy coming in with a cargo of beer, and down. stairs he flew to Brown, the shipping clerk and general manager of the of flee
 Brown" he said, there's beer drinking going on here!"
 Gan it be-" said Brown.
 Tt isl" announced the boy. "I'n put short stop to that. Tonight, Brown, you will discharge any man you know to be chronic beer-drink- CT"
 What shall we do for men?" asked Brown.
 "Oh, see here!' cried Rigby, very sharp and impatient, "how many men out of the 30 will you have to dis. charger"
 Thirty" said Brown.
 "Ah-hum," murmured Rigby. HThen I'll take another course Make a sign, Brown: Beer drinking posi- lively will not be permitted in this factory. That ought to stop it. he said, looking tickled to death over the terrible downrightness of the words. It did stop it, too. After that, whenever a man wanted a little li- uuid nourishment, he just stepped outside the door and took his kettle with him. Wasn't bad scheme, either-they could conform with the rules and get breath of fresh air at the same time.
 One day the engineer, Danny Mo Carthy, had more steam than he needed, and got the harmless notion of letting it off through his whistle.
 She started to blow at 12 o'clock and at five minutes past she was still blowing, and there isn't a whistle this side of Halifax with throat like her

the boy. T understand all that, but not knowing the precise kind of whis tie you're using, 1 cant give you spe. cific directions for repairing it. Can't you stop it-er-jigging yourself?"
 Well" said Danny, considering the matter, "of course, the best way is to let it blow till it stops and then soak it in a pail O soapy water till 'tis thoroughly cool and the ile out O the bearin's. That takes about three weeks. Then, agin, I can stop it to wunst by unscrewin' the governor, only that you run risk O hurtin the injector"
 Never mind the injector" said his highness. "Unscrew the governor, and for heavens sake, do it quick"
 And after Danny went out Rigby connected himself with the speaking tube again.
 Make sign, Brown" he said. telling the men that our whistle is jigging-what word land that for the ensuing three weeks, until our own is thoroughly cooled, they will listen for the whistles of adjacent factories. Put it on the same post"
 There's no room," Brown chuckled.
 Then take another post. There's plenty of posts" said Rigby, going back to bis newspaper.
 Danny got another little idea, too.
 His fireman had to cart out ashes and bring the coal from the pile in big sheetiron wheelbarrow, and the way lay over the cobblestones under the window of little Rigbys office. Just before Otis died, he bought Danny fine new wheelbarrow for the purpose, for the old one was loose in the joints and pretty rickety gen erally, and when a man was pushing her she sounded more than anything else like a carload of tinware being struck by lightning.
 But two or three days after the whistle stopped work, Danny-he's a tender-hearted feller-Danny got sentimental feeling for the old wreck and dragged her out of the scrap heap and set his fireman wheeling ashes, back and forth, back and forth, back
 
 the speaking-tube once more.
 Brown" he cried, what on earth ails that wheelbarrow?"
 Ripe old age" answered Brown.
 Well, does it have to make that noise?"
 "The poor thing can't speak and tell us," chuckled the old gentleman. T presume it does.'
 Well. it's enough to drive man mad" said Rigby. "Ill have it stop ped, except when I'm out of this of fee Listen! You make another sign, reading like this: 'Workmen are pos itively prohibited from carting coal and ashes without obtaining permis- sion from the superintendent Nail it up."
 Another sign!" muttered Brown. Rigby didn't come back that noon time, but he sent boy to Brown with note, saying that he had severe headache, and would the fac i tory kindly try to run without him till the following morning.
 He took his time getting there the l following morning, too, and by the time he finally did arrive the boss had 1 come in in a fury.
 What under the sun is the matter? i Why is the factory shut >down?" he demanded of Brown.
 "Too many signs" snickered Brown. "The last of them being the most re- sponsible.'
 What do you mean?"
 Well, to put it another way, want of coal is keeping us from running" {"
 Goal! Great Scott!" shouted the boss. You had 50 tons last week. l Whats Rigby doing with it? Eating it?"

And is this by Rigbys orders, too?" asked the boss, with grin.
 Hardly" said Brown.
 Brown said the boss, you have a prophetic soul. Tack up your own lit. tie contribution to this galaxy of asininity. It'll be highly appropriate within the next five minutes. Tack it up so it'll stick, Brown"
 Then he made for the stairs. From that day to this, not one of us ever laid eyes on Rigby; and some of the boys still say that the old man, in the frightful wrath that possessed him, killed and ate the boy, blood, bones and all, right there in Otis office.

The Modern school FrocIS.

The fashions of the grown-ups are fol-
lowed-at a considerable distance, it must
be admittedly those of the younger
generation; but there Is just enough of
resemblance between the two styles to
bring them into certain amount of har-
monty. In the sleeve, perhaps, more than
in any other part of the garment, is the
trend of the current style noticeabe; and
pretty much the same sleeve designs are
used to day for mother and daughter For
the growing youngster, however, who
seems TO cultivate an especial knack OF
displaying an undue length of limb at
knee and wrist, the use of the bishop
sleeve, with a more less deep cuff, that
can be either renewed or heightened, and
either very deep hem or a couple of
tucks in the skirt, that may be let down,
will forestall the rejection of the frock
as outgrown ere its usefulness is past.
A smart and seryiceable self plaid in a
medium moss-green shade of sicilienne is
shown in the illustration, fashioned after
a style that commends itself at sight as
being both sufficiently pretty and sensible.
The waist part-there is 8 fitted lining un-
derneath-is disposed In broad pleats that
stitched down tuck fashion for some
inches. back and front. and then gently
bloused into a belt that occurs at the
natural waistline. The skirt is in 1--WE

well pressed 70 the deep hem, so that
the skirt retains the pleated shape through

lappet and shoulder straps serve to re-
lieve the dark coloring of the little frock

none the less, however, keeps it from
out the realm of dressy wraps. Viewed
from the standpoint of practicability, it
is equally suitable for school or for best
wear. The back is fashioned with bias
fold down the center, or with a similar
seam should the goods not allow of the
fold. The side seams are widely gored,
which brings just the right amount of
fulness to the front. Tucks in groups
of three are stitched all the way down

front fastening assumes the shape of
