of the more t%houghtless of the drivers
to treat him with condescension, If
not with contempt, and nothing is so
CALLING as that.
9TH guardeen iv tn la-aw," he said
to a burly driver one day, "sh'u'd be
threated with r~ay-spict."
Don't get foolish, little man." re-.
turned the driver, patronizingly, at
the same time showing a disposition
to ignore the policeman's uplifted
club.
"Oho! ye'd yet ga-ay with me, w'u'd
ye?" cried Policeman Flynn. Come
down out Nv that high-chair seat!"
The driver only laughed, w%hereupon
Flynn, by a quick movement, caught
hold of the reins and jerked them out
of the drivers hands.
"Now will we be good" he asked
"or will we dhrive me over to tn sta.
tion?"
The driver realized that he was al
the policeman's mercy, and surlily
promised to show all proper respect II
the future.
otis not me own dignity, but me-
polls dignity I'm upholdin'," Flynn
explained afterward. "Ye ca-an'
r-rule at a crossin' opliss we insis'
upon r-rulin', an tits tn injane-yu!
ma-an that's tn boss Nv things"
Policeman Flynn certainly was in
genious, and he held the drivers whit
regularly passed his corner in sub
lection by his reputation for esource
fulness and the uncertainty as II
what he would do next. When h
finally humbled the contractor VIII,
was always in a hurry, and cut in ant
out of the line of teams in a most haz
ardous way, his authority nev agail
was questioned. Another policeman
would have caught the horse by tn
bride some day, thrown him back OF
his launches, and cursed or arrested
the driver; but Policeman Flynn neve
does things as others would do them
He bided his time, and finally, whel
the contractor was caught in a poke
and had to draw up, the policeman
promptly stuck his club between tn
spokes of his buggy wheel.

from a butcher. The pointed end OF
the skewer should be cut off, and
some pretty paper pasted on the ends
of the spools to v the torn labels.
Then the spools are wound with
string. 1t is prettier if one spool Is
used for colored string and the other
for white. The baby ribbon is tied
on each end of the stick in a many.
looped bow, and carried up into a long
loop for hanging. This loop should be
arranged so that it may be united for
winding new string or the spools. It
is convenient to have a small pair of
scissors hanging with the roller.

HE GUARDS A

How Policeman Barney Flynn hap
pened to be put on crossing duty
was a mystery to every man on the
force, but why he was taken off was
well known to all of them. The cross
ing men" are usually large and of i'm
posing presence, while Flynn is small
and would not attract the attention
Of anyone who did not know of his
prowess. But he was given the work,
nevertheless.
otis me size" he said by way of
explanation. 9Th big ma-an is a fine
thing on PARADE, but FIR worry give

PIN CUSHIONS IN FLORAL DE.
VICES ARE POPULAR.
Old FERNS of This Useful Adjunct to
Toilet Table Replaced by De-
signs Prettler and Fully az
Adequate for Purpose.

Pin cushions in floral devices have
quite supplanted the more prosaic and
stereotyped forms which have long
been indicative of this toilet necessity,
and bureaus, chiffoniers and toilet
tSsles will this winter blossom out in
to regular flower gardens with their
new appointments.
Effective as these cushions are, they
are simple to make, and any woman
fond of fancy work will have nc diff
ficulty in ~fashioning a wild rose or, a
gorgeous sunfower pin cushion for the
bureau.
Simplest Of these cushions are
made In the shape of a bag, the top of
which spreads out into a pretty bios
som. For the bottom of the bag a
square or round piece of cardboard is
first covered with white or colored

Be Ready for the Rainy Day.

Don't wait for the rainy day to come
-be ready to receive It.
See to 1t that you have trim, thick
soled, wet-weather boots.
Don't try to worry along without a
dark, s~erviceable and well-cut rain
coat. .
Or, better yet, II you can afford It,
have a waterproofed short skirt and
coat.
Provide yourself with a small, close
fitting hat, without feathers.
Have a good umbrella, neat gloves
and a dark petticoat, not silk.
If becoming, have a dash Of red
somewhere about your costume, In
hat, umbrella or neckscarf.
IA little bit Of red has much piqu
ancy on a dull, wet day.
It's worth q good bit to know that
you are prepared In this way, wher
you wake up In the morning and heal
the rain pattering.

The petals of white, pink or whatever
the color may be, are cut from the tied
ends of the ribbon and knotted to imi-
tate the scalloped edges of the real
leaves, but if a pansy OF a daisy is to
be fashioned, the petals are turned
down slightly at either side and the
effect is decidedly natural. Artificial
~centers may either be bought for a
small sum or made by working French
knots of embroidery silk and attach
ing them to twisted threads waxed so
they will stand up in place.
A pretty cushion that is ven less
difficult to make is fashioned out of a
round piece of cardboard, covered with
silk, with a layer of cotton batting be-
meath. On top two or three roses in
a cluster make this cushion effective
and decorative. At the top a twisted
piece Of ribbon is sewed to the edge
so it can be hung up.
Flower pin cushions are not the
only floral decorative pieces that will
be used on dressing tables, for there
are hat pin and hair pin holders that
are made in imitation of apple BIOS
SONS and wild roses. These are easily
made by covering a glass tube with a
netting, to which the ribbons may be
sewed. About eight pieces of narrow
satin ribbon will cover an ordinary
tube. These pieces are sewed togeth-
er to make a bag and are held in place
at the top by a narrow piece of baby
ribbon. Above the baby ribbon, so The
petals fall over and inside the tube,
the petals of a rose or daisy are at
tached, and with yellow centers look
like a flower that has just burst into
full bloom.

sylvania says he shall not be surprised
if demand for smoking cars for ladies
arises as early as next autumn.
That women have acquired the smok-
ing habit is true. The incest women in
the land have taken it up. Very we'll
With the stamp of fashion on the custom
and with the English roads blazing the
way, naturally it is not unlikely that
American roads will have to give the
fair smokers a place for themselves in
the very near future. When the Euro
pean travellers come back next autumn
If they feel that they want smokers for
the women yot, may be sure we will
provide them.
''Of course, smoking cars for women
will be provided on our trains de luxe,
transcontinental expresses and so on.
Logically, if they were put on plain,
ordinary trains there would not be any
demand for them" ~
CT. DAILY, passenger traffic manager
of the New York Central system, agrees
with Mr.. Sheppard. He said today that
he hadn't heard of the English innova-
