An Open Knife Returned.

Freeholder Hugh Gallagher, OF
Montclair, has a knife which has
broken the record of the famous cat
for coming back" Some months
ago, so the story goes, a shark was
killed by fishermen on the Newfound-
land Banks. The big fish was opened,
and inside was found knife, with
one blade open. Through a celluloid
plate on one side was read the name,
Hugh Gallagher" and on the other
side was the photograph of an i'm
posing store. The knife was sent to
New York City and the mind readers
in the postoffice discovered that the
photograph was of business man in
Montclair. Mr.. Gallagher, who had
let the knife slip overheard from the
ship on which he was being carried

over Blouse with GuimDe.

The over blouse is one of the de-
velopments of the late season, and it
is being used in number of novel
and attractive ways. In its later
form it is quite simple in cut and for
the most part is made in one with
short sleeves. The one illustrated
shows it as it's best. 1t is made of
pretty thin silk with trimming of
banding and applique and it is worn
over guimpe of tucked net. Over
blouses of this sort are very much
liked for chiffon cloth, however, and
for crepe de chine and similar ma
terials, and they are worn over
guimpes Of lace, Powered and Persian
silks as well as over the palmer ma
terial. In addition to serving for
separate blouses they are admirable
for use in combination with coat
suits, in which case the over blouse
would be made of chiffon, crepe de
chine or messaline in color to match
the skirt with the guimpe in con-
trast.

'POSSumS and Cats on Car Track.
Standing ON the front of Swope
Park car the passenger, who was
there to smoke a cigar unmolested,
found the motormsn congenial. A
dog stood on the track as the car APP
preached, but jumped to one side
just in time to save himself. "A dog
will always jump off the track, night
or day, when car approaches" said
the motorman, but at night there
are two animals, one domestic, the
other wild, that will stand still and
be run over when the glare of the
headlight strikes them. One is cat,
the other a 'possum. / hate to kill
cat, but you can ring your bell
and yell at the top of your voice with
out soaring a cat off the track when
it sees that headlight. If I've run
over one 'possum I've run over a
hundred. Way out South in the
fall of the year, you know, they're
thick. I've often stopped the car
and got off and caught 'em. All the
boys on the Swope Park line had
plenty of possum this winter and
they got 'em the same way / did. -
