Mrs. Darby's Mother Dead.

Mrs Virginia A. Cullens, mother of
Mrs. Samuel E. Darby, of Palisade,

morning of April 25th after long
illness. She was sixty-three years

Darby, survive her. The funeral took

The Balloon Route.

William Quigley, the Palisade wit,
was talking with H. c. Straight, the
Grantwood grocer, the other day.
Speaking of matrimony," said the
Palisadian, reminds me-"

N"Well, | dunno, really"
Are you thinking of embarking in
the matrimonial balloon? Lookout,
William, people who go that way
never know where they are going to

A Mean Kind of Thief.

GOT THE WRONG TIP.
Palisade Youth Gets Into Difficulties
While Shaving.

A certain one of Palisades most
promising young presidents while
languidly loling in the BARRIERS chair,
having a weeks growth of shrubbery
removed from his countenance, sud-
denly discovered a new way of get
ting into trouble.
The "Palisade Pullman" had come
up the hill bound for Fort Lee and
the landscape gardener had just fin
ished lathering the lawn for the final
touch of the mower, when the young
man unconcernedly glanced at the
occupants of the car, beholding to his
surprise the dreamiest vision in
brown he had ever seen. The young
lady was gracefully reclining on the
bell-cord and as the car gave sud-
den lurch around the curve. the bell
rang and it stopped abruptly. That
stop was fatal, for it gave the shavee
just time enough to lose his self-con-
troll, rush madly to the door with bib
on and soap-suds flying, and wave a
fond yet frantic adieu to the fair
damsel ere she passed out of sight.
He thought he knew her but was mis-
taken.
The tonsorial operation was soon
over, and paying his bill he walked
le1Surely OUT, only TO come lace to

answered.

whats her manner"
That's all right about her name,
but you take my advice, old boy, and
look twice before you go waving
your hand to married women in flu
ture"
"You bet, | will"
And ever since then this young man
has been living in mortal terror, lest
he receive a call-out card from some
benedict requesting the pleasure of
his company one of these mornings
before sunrise on the western slope
Let us have no more of these Blen-
nerhasset duels.

NEW AUTUMN TRIMMINGS

Among the very latest in autumn
dress trimmings is the use of very
wide black braids in plain weaves or in
fancy radium patterns upon cloth
tailored suits. AS far as these cloth
suits are concerned, it is evidently to
be braid season.
On such materials as black or navy
blue velvet or chiffon, white rubber
bead embroideries are all the tn hng.
They are especially marked on these
very dark materials, in a strong con-
trast of color.
Velvet trimmings are combined with
all sorts of other fabrics-chiffon, lace,
fur, sat.n-in every possible variety of
style and use. Band ngs, collars, re-
vers, buttons, ETC., are included among
these trimmings of velvet.
With the craze for Pals ey has come
the Paisley bead embroidery, which is
really new and very beautiful. Beads
in the Paisley colors are worked into
tie familiar designs and used on the
collars, lapeis and turnback cuffs of
dark tailored suits. THY aod touch
of richness and distinction that is in
describable.
And, of course, always and forever
this season-fur trimmings are in
vogue.

SANDALS AND FooTeEAR

1t was undoubtedly as a protection
and not an adornment that man first
learned to cover his feet. He had to
walk over rough and jagged places
where there might be thorns and fiints;
his clothing being of skins, he drew a
portion of skin below his foot and Sc
cured it with thongs crossing the ankle
and instep.
The earlier shoe was a sandal, says
the London Globe, and it was most fire.
quently of hide or leather, but some
times of wood; in Egypt it was woven
of palm leaves and papyrus. When the
word "shoe" is used in the Scriptures
it is commonly sandal that is intended.
AS symbol of treading their enem es
under their feet the Egyptians often
painted the figures of opponents and
persons with whom they were at war
on the lining of their sandals. If util-
ity was the first motive, art and deco
ration soon crept in.
Ladies allowed themselves great
luxury in the attire of their feet: "How
beautiful are thy feet with sandals, o
princes daughter!" The sandal became
identified with symbolism, very much
as the glove became later. To throw a
sandal or shoe over a piece of land
was a symbol Of possession; hence the
figure of speech, "N yer Edom do cast
my SHOE"
