Cloves.

One-button gloves are worn with
the very long transparent tulle
sleeves if Isl very particular as to
the nicely of each detail, for the edge
of the glove must not be seen through
the tulle above the ruche that hens
it. Even with linen and white flannel
or serge gowns for the shore and coun-
try, the odd little garment to match
the skirt is so often sleeveless that
under it's fine tulle or null sleeve.
Every sort of collar mounts as high
as possible about chin, ears and hair
behind, a frill completing it's upper
edge.-Vogue.

l ever saw, because he thought one
of those 16-inch shells had gone off
in his hat, and everybody said:
Served him right" and then he
laughed, the first time since the re-
view started, and he wanted the skin
of my toy balloon as a souvenir of
the first gun fired in the war with
Japan.
From that day, when | had exam.
ined critically our feet and seen il

dent, | felt so patriotic that | wanted
to fight for my country, and | could
hardly wait two days for Mr.. Evans
to send his launch ashore after me
and | didn't care if the whole thing
was iron, that couldn't float under
natural conditions and if Bob Evans
should put oarlocks on a bar or rail
road iron, and put me on it, with or
ders to go sink a Japanese sampan
or whatever they call their war ships,
| would step aboard that bar of rail
road iron with a light heart, wave
my hat and tell them all to go plumb.
So we went ashore, and that even
ing there was a ball at the hotel, and
all the officers of the navy were there,
and the army, and millions of ladies
with clothes on the lower half of them,
and talcum powder and black court
plaster on the upper half, and the
way they danced and waltzed and fiirt.

limping by me, with a 200-pound lady
on one arm, and a 90-pound girl on the
rheumatic side of him, | was so full
of patriotic fire | couldn't help saying:
Hello, Bob, l will be on deck all
right" and he looked at me with an
expression on his face that looked
as though he had drawn a lobster that
had been dead too long, and he
marched along with his female pro-
c%ession, and the orchestra struck up
a goodnight waltz, and everybody
waltzed, and took some drinks, and
went home to wait the sailing of the
fleet the next day, and / went to bed
with an order to be called at sunrise.

ticket in my hand, ready to jump into

away "for a frolic or a fight" and l
didn't care which.

ENLLS7ING IN THE NAVY

When our balloon that sailed from
st. Louis came down in Delaware, and
| had bid good-by to the two men
whom sailed with, and they had paid
me good money for my services and
Keeping them awake, | thought of that
fleet we had passed over at Fortress
Monroe, the beautiful white battle
ships, and was afraid | could not get
there before it sailed, and secure my
berth, as | had made up my mind to
go with it around the horn, and help
fight Japan or mosquitoes, or any old
thing that came in the way, so l
took the first train to Fortress Mon
roe, and found that the whole popula-
ton of several nearby states were go
ing too, as the president was going
to review the fleet before it sailed.
The next day l was at the hotel at
Old Point and with hundreds of other
people took a launch and went out
among the battleships. Everybody
was welcome to go aboard the ships,
and we visited several of them and
were shown all owe the vessels by
the uniformed packs.
Gee, but a battleship is like a sky
scraper on water, and you can go from
h roof clear down half a mile below
the water line, and it is like a combi-
nation of an engine mandatory, a
boiler plant, a coal yard, a wholesale
grocery, a packing house, a black
smith shop, a department store, a ho-
tel, a powder mill, a suburban trolley
line, and a bargain sale of blankets, a
state fair and a military encampment,
and a parade ground, a county Jail
and an apartment house, with rooms
to let on the European plan and all
OF it in an iron coffin, liable to go to
h bottom any minute, if the air
tanks are punctured.
Gee, but l was almost afraid to be
down cellar in a b~attleship without
any life preserver, and when | went
up on deck, where l could jump over
board if she began to sink, there,
away on top of the whole old cook
stove, were guns so big that it seemed
If n got to moving around on deck
it would tip the ship over. 1t seemed
to me like boring a hole in a fiat iron
and crawling in, and being put in a
bath tub, Or like rigging up a coal
stove with paddles and outriggers, and
padding out in a marsh duck shoot
ing.
The first hour / was investigating
the mechanism of a battleship and
was scared silly for fear she would
get ready to sink, and as l looked at
the iron everywhere, which | had been
taught in school would sink so quick
it would make your head swim, | won
dered what my nation could be think
ing of to build ships of iron and de-
pend on wind to keep them on top of

hang on like monkeys, lined up like
they were drilling on deck, and when
the Connecticut began to fire a salute
to the president, out of those great
iron sewer pipes, and all the rest of
the fleet began to shoot at the air, the
noise was so loud that it made your
head feel like you do when you take
seidlitz powders. and it gallups up
your nose, and the smokeless powder
made the smoke so thick you couldn't
e anything but the presidents teeth,
as he sailed along on his yacht, and
l got so patriotic that the chills went
up my back like when you have the
grip coming on, and then the smoke
cleared away and when a million
American flags were flung to the
breeze, | began to choke up like you
do when you are sick and the callers
say, well brace up, boy, you may
pull through, but there are a hundred
chances against your living till morn

at once seized the animals horns, one
with each chubby hand, and chung for
dear life, while the COW dashed madly
down the road to the home of a neigh
Dor, from whom she had been pur.
chased. Here the barn door was open
and through it she ran, striking her
head against al upright beam with
such terrific force that she was in
stantly killed, dropping dead in her
tracks.
Fortunately for the little passenger,
the sudden stoppage released his hold
upon the horns and he was thrown for
ward, to land unhurt upon the partial
ly-filled haymow.
Some idea of the force of the i'm
pact of the cows head against the post
may be gathered from the fact that
upon examination her backbone was
found SO completely displaced as to
lengthen the tail nearly seven inches.

In the Pinkham Laboratory at

from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and

The reason why Lydia E. Pink

Women who are suffering from

A stout and opulent man dwelling In
a suburban town had borne the *

EARRINGS in V

Il is interesting that the style in
earrings has not changed. 1t is as pro-
nounced as ever. The large ~baroque
pearls are worn against the ear and
all manner of semi-precious stones are
worn in pear-shaped drops that fall
half way down the neck.
Topaz and amethyst are the favorite
colors this autumn, but nothing is
more fashionable than the pear, ones
which are linked together with tiny
briiiiantS.
