The Lazy Lion

There was once upon time young
lion who often went out In the fields
and watched the larger lions play
baseball, and he often thought how
happy lie would be II he was only big
enough to take part in their games.
Well, he grew and grew, and aftsr
swh.e 1t seemed to him that he was OF
baseball size, and he decided to begin
to play. Now, 1t happened that this
young lions principal fault was that
he was lazy, and when he got to think
ing about how much running around
he would have to do as baseball
player he almost became discouraged.
After some time spent In thinking
this over he determined, however, to
try the game anyway.

Novellst,s Proposal.

"Capltal," exclaimed the brilliant
young novelist, laying down his pen: IL
was one Of his boasts that he never hesi.
tated TO criticise his own work.
He had just been writing proposal OF
marriage scene. It was dignified, ear
nest, eloquent on tho mans part; tender,
gentle, affecting on the part of the girl.
As he dressed for dinner the young
novelist wondered why men made such
an absurd fuss about simple matter.
II Doris was dining with the Russells
that night, for example, and it . suitable
opportunity occurred, he should certain
ly ask her to be his wife. NervousP Not
. bit. A man who could write scene
like that had little need to be nervous.
Fate was with him. Not only did he
sit next to Doris at dinner, but, the
family brougham being smaller after
dinner than before, his suggestion that
he and she should follow on to the
Jowitts' In hanson, was accepted with
slacrity BY Doris mother. Now for 1t.
"D'you feel coldP" asked Doris.
"Not . bit. WhyP"
81 thought you were shivering."
80, no, thanks"
A bad start. They were on the wrong
plane. He must begin by raising the
tone Of the conversation.
"What wonderfully bright star" he
breathed gently.

"You're not worrying me, only we're
wasting time"
"How shockingly rudeP'
"You don't understand. want to
ask you something"
"l'm not a. bit of good at riddles"

door was in sight. They drew into the

Indians With Blue Eyes.

One Of the mysteries Of Mexico is
presented by the Maya Indians, who
inhabit the Sierra Mndre mountains in
the lower part Of Sonora. They have
fair skins. blue eyes and light hair. and
students Of ethnology have always
been puzzled to account for them.
There Is tradition, however. that
these Indians are the descendants Of
the crew and passengers Of n Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
centuries before Columbus discovered
the new world. but this tradition Is
founded on nothing more substantial
than a folklore tale current among
them that their ancestors came over
the big salt water hundreds Of moons
ago.

Erom Fancy to Fact.

SO, thank you!" exclaims the de-
lighted wife, as her husband hands her a
large bunch of money and tells her to 60
right down town and buy everything she
likes.
"Don't mention it," replies the hus-
band. 81 want you to have everything
your heart desires in the way of dresses

and 1 hope may be able to make up for
it now. Here, take this double handful
of gold $50 pieces, too. Look out there
You're dropping them.'
But the double handful Of gold twen-

here and there and the husband laughed
merrily until

cRYsrALLIzED CHERRIES.

Many novelties have been introduced
in neck wear this spring, the choker
collar which appeared In the winter for
the first time being now decidedly in the
lead. These stiff rundown linen collars
are embroidered in neat designs, and
sometimes show open work or eyelet
effects. With these collars the made bow
or rosette Of soft silk il worn, also tue
pleated lingerie frill with lace edging
and French embroidery. A newer idea,
however, is simple little lawn tie with
a lace medallion inserted at either end.
This is just long enough to 60 around
the neck under the collar and tie 10 front
in q medium sized bow. Many simple
wash waists are trimmed with detacha-
BILE front pieces which extend from the
collar to the waist line. These are made
with center of embroidery or lace and
an edging. A stock is frequently at
tached to this piece. Windsor ties Ia
plain silks, sometimes embroidered or
hemstitched at the ends are worn as
much with the stiff linen collars as with
soft turnovers. In tailored neckwear
there are many pretty stocks OF wash
material with tabs and for mannish ef-
fects the once-over in linen Is very
smart.
