Yankee Tars Amaze Neapolitans.

Some American sailors who had
been indulging in liberal potations
and had had rows with some of the
many bad characters of Naples were
conducted by the police to the Cen
trail police station yesterday.
Tired of waiting in the courtyard,
two of them noticed column leading
to an upper story, and climbed it like
monkeys, while the astonished police
ordered them to descend. Arrived at
the upper story, the sailors climbed
the balustrade and entered the town
hall amid the lively curiosity of ush-
ers, clerks and porters. Then they
leisurely passed through the halls,
and at last descended the central
staircase, where they found their way
to the street.
In few minutes they sauntered
back into the courtyard, to the fur
ther surprise Of the guard. All were
then marched off to the police magis-
trate, who on hearing of the adven-
ture and seeing the laughing faces of
the sailors, liberated the whole batch.
The sailors gayly thanked him, and
the whole crowd went back to the
ship thoroughly amused. - Naples

Box pleated Skirt.

Every variation of the pleated skirt
Is to be found in the incoming styles,
but the one that gives suggestion
of the yoke utilized in one way or
another Is a pronounced favorite. This
model is so arranged as to provide
unbroken lines at the front and the
back when used with the yoke, and it
allows a choice of such treatment or
of the plain box pleated skirt. In the
Illustration one of the novelty suit
ings is finished with stitching, the
color being the bronze which prom
ises to be such favorite. Almost all
suitings and all skirting materials are
appropriate, however, as the skirt
will be found just as well adapted to
cashmere and similar materials of
indoor wear as 1t is to the heavier
suitings. 1t is made in walking
length, and whether the yoke is used
or not is stitched fiat over the hips,
doing away with all bulk at that
point.

1t is not necessary to go around to

known, must be respected. Generally
your hostess will let you know in a
quiet way how she feels on the sub
ject.
How much to give depends upon
how much one can afford. 1t is fool
ish from false pride to cripple ones
self by gifts or stay at home from a
visit because you cannot afford to
tip. Both maids and hostess usually
know your financial status, and the
latter would only be worried by ex-
travagant tipping.
If you have made demands upon
the time of maid, such as asking
her to press a dress for you, she
should be quietly given something for
her trouble at the time. You would
have to pay an outsider for such
work, and have no right to expect It
as favor.
If at all possible do not get into the
way of expecting your friends maids

Never fee ostentatiously. It is the
height of bad taste. Also do not get
into the habit of letting your hosts
pay your way as right.
There are many excursions where
the hosts assume all obligations;
these must not be questioned, but ac-
cepted gracefully. If you propose
little trips, or If you pay long visit,
insist upon paying your share of car
fare and other expenses.
The money side of visiting requires
delicate handling. You do not wish

Etiquette For the Visitor.

It is difficult to lay down hard and
fast rules for the stranger who visits
in another's home. Customs differ
not only in different social sets, but
even in various families in the same
circle.
The matter of tipping, for instance,
is a troublesome problem for a girl
or woman. Shall tip? Whom shall
l tip? How much shall l give? She
does not know and has no one from
whom she can seek information with
out embarrassment.
Tipping is much more customary in
this country than it was few years
ago, and as a rule it is safe to give a
moderate fee to any servant with
whom you have come in contact.

"Yes. You know pet dogs are like

just like people"
"Ak! l suppose some one has to
take them out for this exercise?"
"Oh, certainly. Usually that falls
to the lot. of the maid or some other
servant.
But suppose the servant should
not wish to be incidentally banted?"

called upon to do jury duty. BY this
l mean that when a woman Is vitally
interested in court case, whether it
be civil or criminal, it should be de-
cided by jury which comprises an
equal number of men and women.
Women alone can understand wom-

be avoided If women were permitted
to serve on juries. OF course the
women picked for jury duty should
not be of the butterfly type. They
should, instead, be intelligent women
who have had the benefit of an edu-
cation.
"As far as woman suffrage itself is
concerned, I do not believe the wom-
en- will make much progress until
they adopt womanly and conservative
tactics. A good, true, womanly wom-
an can get anything she desires.
When the so-called suffragettes come
to realize this they will modify their
tactics, and then their chances for
success will be greater. Until that
time, however, l think the success of
the cause is more or less hopeless, for
men will not be forced to do any
thing. They prefer to be coaxed. The
women who should vote are the wom-
en- who pay taxes. Strangely enough,
though, they as yet have remained in
the background. But when they do
enter the lists, mark my words, some

any rough ground and steep grades

that not much gas escapes. The best
result Genes from brisance grenades,

that each projectile contains a burner
