Billy Canton and one or two others

Just you wait!
"You asked me about Miss Banks.
She was in the place last week and
friendly. Asked me where could find
her father and took her up to the big
stock room where he happened to be.
Say, don't get your ideas up too high.
Still, stranger things have happened.

I have a social engagement almost
every evening with nice people. Every
one is very friendly. Where l board
there's some very pleasant folks and
when l don't go out we all collect in
the parlor and sing and play games.
One young lady can play fine on the
piano. I know you'd like her.
Il am all right; now don't you worry
about me. I like to get your letters.
Say, don't bother sending those shoes,
they pinch my feet. Nellie is well
enough, now ma don't you say things
to make her mad. Say, you haven't

Must quit now as 1 have an engage
ment to go to theater party with
supper afterward with some swell peo-
pie I've met through the boss. So you
see I'm getting along swimmingly.
Lots of love to both. Bert"
Our son Bert threw down his pen
with sigh of relief. A tear stole i'm
personally down his left cheek.
Blame it all, I'm tired. Nine o'clock
already? Well, if I'm going to get up
at six o'clock tomorrow morning it's
time I turned in"
Bert glanced around his small quar-
tiers as he wound the alarm clock and
set it for 6:10. Then he opened a
wooden box that had come by express
| that day and began to devour a por-
ton of the contents eagerly, discard
ing sartorial accessories as the BAN
quet proceeded.
The Cherry-A son owes his proud
parents at least few illusions.

father.
Winnie was blushing becomingly,
but she didn't look as if the subject
was disagreeable to her.

it over about Thursday. And write a
witty little note to put in with it. It'll

Poor Winnie-if she could only stop

Bert's mother stiff1y. 81 hope you are
quite well?"
Eyes, thank you," answered Nellie,

give fullness are groups of fine tucks,
over which and down the top of the
sleeves runs the same design in white
as is embroidered down the middle
panel. Here also the lace outlines in
scallops, beginning at the lower half
of oval, across bottom of tucks, and
the last large scallop forming the out
line for embroidered panel down the
sleeve. The cuff is of pin tucks and
lace edging, coming just above the
elbows. A black velvet ribbon girdle

For Motor Wear.

The cloche shape is quite the best
for motor wear. The turned-down
brim is not too large to be cumber-
some, but shady enough to afford pro-
lection to the eyes and there is in
finite variety in the way in which it
is treated.
Some brims are slashed up the
sides, others are brought upwards at
the back so that they lie densely upon
the sides of the crown, and materials
differing from Tyrian silk to rein
deer are used to make the shape.

SILK NULL GOWN
of the Prettiest of the Recent
Designs.

Another gray and white combination
is a pale gray silk null frock. The
skirt is gathered in at the waist line
and falls in graceful folds to the hem.
The only trimming is the panel en-
broidered rather heavily in some large
single flower and it's leaves. 1t runs
on up the front of the waist, broaden
ing at the top, SO that it completely
covers the front. The panel likewise
broadens at the hem. Outlining this
panel, in large scallops, is valen-
ciennes lace and edging about three
inches wide. The neck is cut out in

Errors of Little Women.

Large mushroom hats were there In
great profusion, says an exchange
chronicling a social function, and, sad
to relate, some of these enormous
cartwheels of straw, bristling with a
whole garden of flowers or farm
yard of feathers, were worn by small
women. When the small woman who
had not been endowed with wisdom
had not chosen the wrong bats they
had succeeded in making themselves
grotesque by wearing gowns or ac-
cessories which had been specially
designed to enhance the charms Of
their latter sisters.

Have TWO Poultry Yards.

If the same flock can have the use
of two yards, one may be cultivated
and sown with rye while the fowls
occupy the others; then when the rye

Misplaced Money.

A short time ago a gentleman IN
Boston sent a small boy in his neigh
borhood to deliver a note to young
lady who lived a few blocks away.
He gave the boy a quarter to make
him hurry. After short time the
messenger came back, and, handing
the money, said: Miss - saJc she
will be glad to see you tonight, but
she didn't want the quarter"

Skirts for Short Coats.

Beneath the long or short coats the
skirts are adjusted to the hips like
a glove, then left full below, and
growing very wide at the bottom.
They are usually self-trimmed, with
graduated bases, points, undulating
lines or a Greek key pattern. Some
times braid, usually of the same color,
Is substituted, but rarely is the skirt
garniture conspicuous.
