What 10 Wear

Any dress maker can make gowns for
the slender woman 1t is the stout lady
who drives her to distraction. Pat
terms have way of being deceptive.
Sometimes they appear to make the
figure look thin in the picture, but in
reality they caricature it out of all
proportion. The only road to safety
for the stout lady lies in not trusting
the dress maker, but in using her own
common sense.
The stout woman should never wear
certain colors-yellow, white pale
gray-that have the quality of making
her look substantial. She should avoid
as she would the plague short WASTED
styles and also those extreme effects
that show only too plainly the line

Marriage of Widows In india.

We are glad to note the number Of
widow marriages increasing every
year. Following on the heels of one
in high life in Calcutta, there have
been lately three such marriages in

a noteworthy record, which should
cause the social reformer to take heart
for the ultimate success of his work.
The agitation that has been kept up
for years by the social conference

HUNTING FOR BIG GAME.

The Highlands of Ontario is an ideal
spot for the sportsman during the open
hunting season for big game. In the
Temagami region moose are plentiful
and may be killed during the period
from October 10th to November 18th.
This territory is forest preserve OF
vast expanse. and in addition to being
the hunters paradise, its waters
abound with game fish of many
species. The home of the red deer is
located somewhat to the south of

Mad" Dan Maitland, on reaching his
New York bachelor club, met an attrac-
tive young woman at the door. Janitor
O'Hagan assured him no one had been

along with a letter from his attorney.
Maitland dined with Bannerman, his at
torney. Dan set out for Greentlelds, to

cracking the safe containing his gems.
She, apparently, took him for we'll
known crook, Daniel Anisty. Half-hyp-
Noticed, Maitland opened his safe, took
therefrom the jewels and gave them to
her, first forming partnership in crime:
The real Dan Anisty sought by police % OF

about to show him the jewels, supposedly
lost, was feled by blow from ''Snaith's"
cane. The latter proved to be Anisty
himself and he secured the gems. Anisty,
who was Maitlands double, masqueraded
as the latter. The criminal kept Matt
lands engagement with the girl in gray.
He gave her the gems. The girl in gray
visited Maitland's apartments during his
absence and returned gems. Maitland,
without cash, called up his home and
Anisty, disguised as Maitland, tried to

A crash was heard at the front door.
Maitland overwhelmed the crook, allow
ing him to escape to shield the young
woman. The girl in gray made her es-
cape, jumping into cab. An instant
later, by working ruse, Anisty was at
her side. He took her to Attorney Ban

tried in vain to wiring from her the loca-

And How He Found His Niche
in the World.

Where youth is coupled with intel
ligence illusions pass rapidly away.
Early in my married life it dawned on
me that was going to be at home
for long stay. / realized that my
tenure in business, and even my place
in my fathers family, were insignifi-
cant in their importance when COM
pared with this new relation had es-
tablished. l saw that it was the
greatest contract l had ever signed.
I was also becoming conscious of my
relative insignificance in the general
scheme of things 1t appeared less
likely that should be called away to
dig the Panama canal, and more and
more probable that / should continue
in the daily performance in incon-
spicuous work.
"Out of all this there came to my
wife and me the realization that the
greatest chance within our reach lay
right there in our two-by-four house.
If the world was unappreciative of
our unparalleled talents, the world
could go hang. We'd use them our
selves.
And so we set out to surmount all
difficulties. We haven't done that
yet, but we have made start /

until l have come 20 the conclusion
that they are practically as desirable
as my own. My wife has pursued the
same attitude toward my relatives to
the point where she thinks more IA

myself.

we harbor and nourish feelings OF
hate. Sometimes we talk loud, but

"Ah, cut that, can't yeh?" Hickey
got on all tours, found his cigar, stuck
it in his mouth, and fell into place at
Maitland's side.

IF yeh're Maitland, md Anisty's at

Maitland had no need to lift the
trap; the cabby had already done

"All right" the young man called.
ITS Detective Hickey. Drive on"
The lash leaped out over the roof
cr-rackl-and the horse, presumably
convinced that no speed other than a
dead-run would ever again be de-
manded of it, tore frantically down the
avenue, the hanson rocking like a top
sail-schooner in heavy gale.
Maitland and the detective were bat
tered against the side and back of the
vehicle and slammed against one an
other with painful regularity. Under
such circumstances speech was diff
cult; yet they managed to exchange a
few sentences.
"Yeh gottuh gum"
"Anistys--two good cartridges"

And again: How'd yeh s'pose An

case?"
Maitland took swift thought on her
behalf.
