"Oh, yes," agreed his wife, sweetly.
"And had you exclaim, is this the
spoon you said you borrowed from
your mother If only you would not
put on such a beaming, angelically
innocent expression when you are

HIS INNOCENT
WAY

Yes said Mrs. Hamvery, gazing
fondly across the room at her hus-
band, who beamed blandly, not know
ing what was about to befall him at
her hands. "Yes, last Tuesday was
certainly Billy's busy day for saying
and doing the wrong thing,
Honest, now, Billy" she went on
before he could open his mouth to
protest, II wish some time you'd con-

she explained to the others, who en-
joyed watching Hamvery writhe
Now, I'm not exactly afraid of the
Simpsons, but if things are going to
go wrong I'd lots prefer that they'd
more easy-going.
"Of course, had all my best things
out for the table. | always intend to
use good things every day for my
own family, but few of my cherished
possessions | am trying to make last
as long os possible. Billy spied the
napkins first. Now, the monograms
on those new napkins are worth their
weight in gold, but l opened mine with
the nonchalant air of one who was
bored by the very sight of exquisite
embroidery and had even better ones,
inlaid with diamonds, perhaps, put
away. Not so, Billy"
'Whe-e-e!' he murmured, survey
ing his napkin admiringly. Got those
initials done at last, didn't you, Adele?

Silk from Wood Pulp.

Artificial silk is made from wood
pulp in Sweden. The imitation is ex-
cellent, but it is found that many
dresses made from it have been dis
carded because the creases made
when the wearers sit down do not
come out. 1t is scarcely possible to
distinguish the real from the artificial

Wear a Kilt and Be Warm

An enthusiastic Scot has written to the press trying to convert Englishmen to wearing kilts, especially in cold weather He assures them that any body who has once worn the kilt will never forget the comfort and warmth it insures.
 His opinion is indorsed by West End physician, who, among other ar guments, claims that petticoats are much warmer than trousers. He repudi- G;cs the idea that the legs of those wearing kilts must be cold, and says iiat the mere barring of the knees is harmless. He instances football players leaving the knees uncovered for the purpose of bracing the sinews. He points out that worsted stockings, which are coneomtant of kilts, are warmer than the present leg gear.
 The editor of the Tailor and Cutter says that the fashionable streets of the West End would certainly gain in pie turesgueness by the adoption of the kilt. Among other advantages it wouId- nee essarily kill the obnoxious high hat and abolish baggy kneed trousers. He in forms the uninitiated that nine yards of cloth are required for kilt, owing to the numerous pleats. Thus it is more costly than an ordinary suit, but will wear far longer and will never lose its shape.-LOndOn cable to the New York Sun.
