A Song Of the r. Ed.


Everybody works but father,
He hauls the U. 8. mail,
Rides in covered wagon.
Hitting his daily trail;
Mother she keeps boaders,
Sister Nan works out,
Everybody works at our house
But pop-he drives the route.
Everybody works but father.
He's got snap, you bet,
But us kids we must skidoo
Fer the food an clothes we get
Jimmie he sells papers, and
I'm bootblack, an
Everybody works at our house
But my old man.
Father he is foolish
Fer not givin' 1t up today,
For he never kin support us
On sech scanty pay.
But he's a-stayin' with 1t,
Fer he likes the job somehow,
An he thinks he'll have an Increase
Bout twenty years from now.

Skirts are without exception the
escape length" The fact that Amer
lean women are more given to run
ming about on foot than French wo-
men explains why they do not follow
the latter in the matter of trained
dresses, which can only be carried
about safely in carriages. This, of
course, applies only to the tailor
dresses. The evening gowns are
trained, though an occasional dance
dress is short. Skirts are usually
made with from nine to thirteen cores,
though once in a while there are some
sixteen or seventeen. This, however,
Is extreme. AS to the pattern, the
flare and circular hounces are most
prominent. There is a suggestion of
empire effect in the so-called princess
skirt. 1t is fitted over the hips and
around the waist, extending few
inches above the waist line. The jack
ct worn with this is very short, be-
ing something between an Elton and a

While the European powers are en-

NEAT SWINDLE IN PICTURES

In the Paris Matin M. Hardouin,
well-known writer and financial au-
thority, thus describes an ingenious
plan to hoodwink the New York Gus
toms authorities, which he says was
carried out: There exist in Mont
martre poor devils who can turn out
Rembrandts better than Rembrandt
himself. Certain dishonest picture
dealers in Paris know this and give
orders for these Dutch masterpieces.
At the bottom of the canvases the
Iame of Rembrandt is placed. Ordi-
narily the dealer sells these. But 1t
occurred to one of them last summer
that there was something better to
do with them These are good he
said to the ragged painter who brought
them. Put your own name on them
in place of that of Rembrandt. Why
give him the credit, eh?' The artist
carried off the canvases, painted out
the false name and put his own in
place of 1t. Then he took them back,
and the dealer bought them for a
pitiful sum.
After few weeks the dealer sent
the pictures to his correspondent in
New York, and at the same time sent

A special cable message to the Daily

strained to make an appeal directly
to European solidarity in order to con-
vince France and Britain that a

of a book which has recently been
published in the German capital. It's
title is The Collapse of the Old

Britain provokes war with Germany.

TRAGEDY OF HEAD HUNTING

Here is a story of the head-hunting
Dyaks of Dutch Borneo which recent
ly appeared in the British North Bor-
neo Herald. "Hathnaveng, a tribes
man, had been persuaded by Dutch
missionaries to abandon the practice
of head-hunting He remained true
to his promise, and for time led
a quiet life. Recently, however, he
fell in love with Dyak maiden. The
girl, although returning his passion,
disdained his offer of marriage be-
cause he no longer INDUCED in the
ancient practice of cutting off and
bringing home the heads of the enc
mics of the tribe. Hathnaveng, goad-
ed by the taunts Of the girl, who told
him to dress in womens clothes in
future, as he no longer had the cour-
age of a man, quilted the village and
remained away a considerable time.

when he returned he entered his
sweethheart's hut, carrying a sack on
his shoulders. He opened it and four
human heads rolled upon the bamboo
floor. At the sight of the trophies
the girl at once took him back into
her favor, and, flinging her arms
around his neck, embraced him pas
sionately, You wanted heads, -declar.
ed her lover. Il have brought them.
Do you recognize them?' Then, to
her horror, she saw they were the
heads of her father, her mother, her
brother and Of young man wo was
Hathnaveng's rival for her affections.
"Hathnaveng was Immediately seiz-
ed by some Of the tribesmen and by
way Of punishment was placed in
small bamboo structure such as is
commonly used by the Dyaks for pigs
and allowed to starve to death"

Shlrred Velveteen.

A few short seasons ago the sug-
gestion that velveteen be shirred in
any way would have been greeted with
scorn and derision, but the chiffon
velveteens of to-day lend themselves
beautifully to this effective mode of
handling, A charming design is that
wherein the grace of the costume lies
in the way the material is handled.
The corsage maintains some sem
blance of blouse lines. the necessary
definition of the wasteline being clev-
erly accomplished in strapped cein-
ture. The sleeve is pulled at the top
and all down the arm are rows upon
rows of shirring clear to the wrist.
The skirt has a narrow petticoat panel
in the front.

a letter to the customs authorities
there, telling them that they we're
about to be the victims of tremen-
dous fraud. Two real Rembrandt pic
lures, recently discovered, were to ar
rive from Europe with the name OF
Rembrandt painted out and another
insignificant name substituted for 1t.
Take off the upper coat of paint In
the right-hand lower corner and you
will find that the name of Rembrandt
is there. The idea is to sell these old
masterpieces in the United States
after they have passed your admins
tration. | warn you that each paint
ing is worth at least $120,000.'
This advice did not fall into un-
eager ears. The outer coat was taken
off, and sure enough, there was the
name Rembrandt with the proper
date. The customs people demanded
$4,000 for the two paintings, sum
paid contritely by the correspondent,
who feigned great thankfulness for
being let off for that amount. But
a fortnight later he sold the pictures
for nearly 100000, their authenticity
being properly established by the re-
ceipts of the American custom house.
They had cost 500 apiece in Paris"
