skirts" says Stein "It's difficult
to get women to understand that
they mustn't wear a lot of skirts
and petticoats. For a successful
full-length Photographic pose the
skirt should always be long, train
ed and clinging.
skirts distended, petticoats
starched and pettjcoats of silk with
frills are the bane of woman's
graces."

would come home she used at time
| to take some Of the small change
and give 1t to Eddie to put in his
bank. Finally, one day. Eddie had
quite bank account-40 cents
and he was proud. He maintained
mysterious air all day until; the
nurse girl took him downtown. Be
fore he started he opened his little
safe and took out the 40 cents. On
the way downtown he conflded to
his nurse that he was going to
spend 1t all for pap and mamma
The nurse and lie visited many
stores that day before the little
man found what he wanted--a
gorgeous necktie Of many colors
and an equally undignified looking
pin. He was a happy little lad
when he returned home that even
ing. He intended to surprise his IA
Their in the morning by giving him
the necktie as birthday present
Of course he must give his mamma
present, too, even If she wasn't
to have a birthday.
But all of Eddie's plans went
wrong when he saw his parents
dressing for social gathering at q
neighbours house. Eddie thought It
would be nice for his father to wear
the tie that highland for his
mother to wear the pin. Just before
his bedtime he ran out and return
ed a proud boy and presented his
father with the necktie.
The head of the family was ar
rayed all in evering dress, and
looked quite the dandy. No one
would or could hurt his little boys
feelings. When Eddie falteringly
presented the necktie the father
laughed long and loud in derision
Eddie's cheeks reddened-he won

wrong. His mother looked like lshe
would cry, for she knew what was
"Why, do you think I would wear
such looking thing as that!"i the
man exclaimed, and he threw Ed
dies tie on the floor. The little boy
didn't cry-ujst looked hurt and ran
to his mothers arm. His mother,
however, was more considerate and
wore Eddie's pin until she was out
of the house. =
Eddie's father confided to a
friend next day that his wife had
been cranky" all evening, and he
couldn't guess what he had done
to make her so. d.

In Odessa
BY STUART MAGICIAN,

Petropaulsky of Odessa,
Dreaming of the tax assessor,
Woke to find his trusty valet
Beatlnng on him with a mallet,
Screaming, ooh, sir! Get up! Shooting.
Half the navy's revoluting!
All the city is a scooting!
If a bomb should light on you, sir,
| don't know what l would do sir,
If you want to keep your neck fast,
Please don't stay in bed for breakfast"
And the wealthy Russian gent,
Scarce perceiving what he meant,
Sat up in his royal bed,
Rubbed his wrinkled royal head
This" he said, sis in Odessa"
And the valet murmured, Eyes, sir"
Petropaulsky, of Odessa,
OF nurtured mind possessor,
Tossed away his silken stocking,
Lifted up his voice in hooking.
Listen" said he; I'm surprised
You should be SO exercised
This is not Berlin or Rome,
Both of us are here at home;
We might let this prejudice go
In New York or San Francisco.
They are not accustomed to it,
They have never been all through 1t:
Over here we always do 1t.
Go chase yourself away, sir.
Don't you dare to disobey, sir.
You're an awful rotten guesser.
This Is nothing in Odessa"

OvercroWded Street Cars
Claim More Victims
Troubles of United Railroads
Increased by Accidents

the day before had been too much for
the overworked cars and the repair
shops were filed. The mechanics there
said that only a few extra hands had
been put TO work and that nearly
double the force Of men was required.
Green teamsters contributed consid-
erably to the troubles Of the carmen.
The old-time union teamsters know
how TO handle their horses and seldom
block the cars, although in many cases
they cannot avoid doing so, as they
have to cross the tracks with heavy
loads and the sodden condition OF the
streets allows them no opportunity TO
get q good headway in running over
a raised track or a street obstruction.
Another reason for Iieups is that
builders are taking up all of many
sidewalks and part OF the street, and DO
not remove debris from the side of
tracks, forcing teams to take 10 the
tracks TO get past new buildings. The
police promise TO cooperate with the
Board OF Public Works in making con-
tractors keep within a reasonable dis
tance of the curbs with their building
material.
