Pretty lingerie will tempt the most
economical woman into extravagances
that she has not really intended, if she
is not fortified with n good supply of
dainty pieces already on hand. These
can be made up at odd moments, If
she will take care to pick up pieces Of
cambria and bits of lace and embroi-
derry whenever they are found at entic-
ing prices. In this way, one does not
feel the time or money spent. This sur
plice style is a pretty variation of the
blouse corset covers for wearing with
thin waists. A set of narrow tucks
trims the back, but the fronts are plain

CAUGHT Whiskers in Safe.

In locking his safe the other night
prior to his going home for supper
George Edgemont, paperhanger who
lives at Jefferson street and Hermit
age lane; Manayunk, shut the safe
door upon his flowing whiskers and
was held until released by his daugh-
ter, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Edgemont had been out collecting
bills during the day. Returning to his
Office he opened his safe and placed
the money in it, He then threw the
door shut, catching the end of his
beard in the door. In the excitement
incident to his odd predicament he
forgot the combination and so could
not release himself. With his chin
resting on the safe he was discov-
cred about an hour after the accident
by his daughter, who came to find
what had delayed him. The safe was
broken open by a locksmith.

Bradley has withheld half of the pri-

treasurers and left it on deposit in

were sent for half of the amount
drawn on the banks where the money
was on deposit and the orders for the
remainder will be forwarded in Janu-

he cannot always avoid in offering the

their heads Johns mother took the
precaution to whisper to him that he
must be very quiet. Listen" she
said, land you will hear the minister
pray" This interested John at once,
and his little face took on a look OF
serious attention, but his mother,
watching him covertly, saw his ex-
preston change presently to one of
surprise and disapproval. A few min
utes more and he could stand it no
longer. What could this man be say
