It is rather amusing to find in the
Spectator an inquiry as to very com.
mon phrase which that learned jour
nal cannot answer. The Spectator
quoted without question the remark:
"The more know of men the more
] like dogs as attributed by the
Countess Martinengo Cesaresco to
Nine. de Stael. OF course. Nine. de
stael never said anything SO straight
forward as that. How could any one
with such u name as Martinengo
Casaresco know English? For the
phrase was original with Walter Scott.
and 1t is to be found in Lockhart's
biography-one of the best biograph-
les ever written. The sentiment is
not at all exclusive; it has often been
expressed. OF late years 1t has been
attributed to Mark Twain and would
be characteristic. Also It may have
been as original with him as with
Scott. Both the men knew men and
dogs. and must have had the same
relative estimate Springfield Repub-
lican.

watered silk. and is fastened down
the back with hooks and eyes.
The skirt clears the groun by two
inches and has hem of black wa

or three-quarter length. Each woman
is in a go-as.you-please race concern

one on Uncle Joe.

On his trips to New York Uncle Joe
usually stops at the Hotel Aston. Re-
Gently while in New York he took a
room at the Knickerbocl1er. After
walking up and down Broadway in the
glare of the white lights for an hour
or two the speaker decided to retire
and walked into the Astor. When the
clerk asked him to register, Uncle Joe
nonchalantly announced that he had
already registered A search was
made by those behind the desks, but
It was unavailing. Firmly the clerk,
who didn't happen to recognize his
distinguished visitor, even after he
had told him his name, informed Mr..
Cannon that he was mistaken-thnt
he hadn't registered. Uncle Joe can
say things on occasion and this was
an occasion. He INDUCED in some very
naughty language.
"Dern your hotel, I'll go to the
Knickerbocker." he said. Gimme my
grip"
The word Knickerbocker arrested
his thought and his free flow of Ian
guage. Uncle Joe came to.
Damned II l amt getting old and
forgetful." he murmured as the turn
stile door swung behind him.--Cin,

Plain materials are much easier of
construction than are those of striped,

The fact remains that many of the
more expensive sheer linen models in
these delicate tones are copied by the

A favored method of finishing the
