New EoIdIna Umbrella.

A new folding umbrella is SO con-
structed that the ribs and the center
rod, being hinged in the middle, will
fold to half their length. When folded
and slipped into Its case 1t is only 16
inches long and can easily be carried
in the overcoat pocket or in a catchel.
When extended each rib snaps into a
clamp which holds 1t perfectly rigid,
and the two sections Of the center rod
screw together in a firm Joint. Only
half minute is required to either set
up the umbrella or to fold 1t. When
set up 1t can be carried open or closed
in exactly the same manner and with
the same appearance as an ordinary
mbrella.-Popular Mechanics.

SMALL GIRLS AGAIN TO RULE
English Fashion journal Sees End of
the Domination OF the Tall
Woman.

Brisades Of exceptionally tall girls
practically rule hospitality all over
the country, declares the English
Lady's Pictorial. They need not be
pretty or intelligent, for they are ex.
pected to do nothing except to be
tall.
A tall girl season now means that
every hostess must endeavor to pro
duce a predominating impression Of
tallness at her parties. Tall dinners
and tall dances become social ambi.
tion small men find themselves sud-
denly useful as an effective means Of
creating a contrast when semi-Ama-
IONS must be entertained.
There Is no limit which can be re-
garded as reasonable when once the
craze for tallness commences; yet at
the moment when with that mysteri-
Gus facility OF the feminine nature tall
girls seem to be looming up in all
directions the edict goes forth that
her reign is over and the little won.
an is in the ascendant.
Men would seem to have rather In
geniously guarded against fashions in
height by becoming almost uniformly
of medium stature. The present pre-.
diction of smaller men need not be
taken seriously; from every point OF
view moderation in inches has been
found satisfactory, now that we never
kno wfrom one year to another wheth.
er woman is going to be ridiculously
small or absurdly tall.

he executed quick movement and
was gone before the sheriff could lay
hands on him. Mr.. Louthan followed
at about a 2:10 gait, following him
down the street and through alleys and
finally taking few shots at him.
But the black one was too fleet-footed
for the big sheriff and it was Officer
Meacum who finally headed him off
