MARK TWAlN'S RENTED CAT.
Humorist Furnishes Something for
Scribes to Puzzle Over.

Mark Twain, as is his custom, hides
himself during the summer from the
head hunters, those persons seeking
autographs, photographs, or inter
views. This year he selected Tuxedo
Park as his retreat. renting an old
colonial house until the latter part Of
September. when he returned to his
New York home. There, during the
heated days, Mr.. Clemens wandered
about the country bsways or spent
the time in various shady hooks in
his grounds.
A visitor who succeeded in discov-
ering his whereabouts found the great
author in his famous suit of white
flannels, seated under tree petting
a kitten.
Where did you get it?' queried the
friendly intruder.
For moment there was twinkle

She was even more afraid OF cows
than most girls, so when she spied a
placid animal recumOent under a
tree, peacefully chewing its cud, she
at first refused to go through the pas
lure at all. Her husband Gained her
fears to some extent, and they started
by, when the COW slowly commenced
to get up, hind legs first, as they al
ways do. At this the little lady
shrieked with terror and said:

Notable among the new jewelry are
the cameo effects. Those lovely white
or tinted carved heads on pinkish
backgrounds set in oval frames of
gold are highly esteemed for fastening
the lace collar or veil Their quaint
ness perfectly fits the revival and
fashions of other days betrayed in
newest dressing.
Large single canoes form oval
brooches or lace pins. Others Of
small size are set in rows Of four or
five to form bar bins. Pretty indeed
are the stickpins with small cameo
heads and the studs consisting of a
pair Of canoes.

Embroideries are weighing all the
more luxurious Of filmy transparent
fabrics, sometimes embroideries of
bugles, either silver or colored, and at
other times embroideries of sequins;
not the glittering silver sequin Of old,
but others in softly cleaning mother
of-pearl and dull silver and gold.
There is still much embroidering of
silk, with the flowers outlined by Sc
