cold winds sweep in at the open win
dows, for in this day of fresh night air
the sleeping rooms are extremely cold.
The models for the night caps are
as various as the materials. Those of
lowered cIetonne are made on the
lines of a baby's bonnet, with ribbons
of pink or blue for strings, and per
haps a rosette on either side.
The lingerie caps are made of sheer
est null or lawn, with exquisitely
dainty hand embroideries, fine laces
and gay ribbons. AS they are too thin
to be warm, they often have an inter
lining of silk or flannel, or a padded
sachet, which scents the hair delight

HAao Foa HUBBY TO EXPLAIN.
Wife's Apple Pie the Direct Cause Of
a Tragedy.

There was tragedy out at the
home Of the Lorings the other day.
The Lorings were married a little
over a year ago. In the first week
after their return from the wedding
trip to the little fiat which they had
so much fun in furnishing Mrs. Lor-
ing offered as a dinner delicacy her
first apple pie. He tried the pie, but
was not equal to the task of eating
any of it, and of course she wanted
to know why.
MY dear, | never eat pie" ex-
planned LoringI 81 thought | would try
this Just out of compliment to you,
but ! can't finish it. Besides, l am
certain it will make me ILL.,"
1t was done with such skill that
she put her arm lovingly about him
and called him dear old thing"
just for trying to eat it.
Now If there was any time at which
Loring was at peace with the world it
was when he was in front of man s
size slab of pie. But for year he
missed that pleasure in his new home.
The other night Loring had as a
guest a chum of clearinghouse days,
and the latter was telling Of Lorings
table feats.
Did you ever in all your life he
asked the young wife, "see man who
could eat so much pie as he CAM"
Hence the tragedy.
