q house I was thinking OF cracking
into. I'd 60 downtown and buy a tin
of dog biscuits. Then I'd go out 70
this house and try to sell them dog
biscuits. II they said, I'VE don't need
any. We haven't got dog" I'd turn
around and say to myself. Glad to
hear It."
Tip No. 6-If you like dogs, get
one. They're liable TO break up
burglars game some time or
other.
Lots of burglars, well-dressed ones,
make It their business only to get
into q house when the folks have gone
to the theater. They can be walking
up and down the street without any
one getting suspicious, and see the
people leave home. I've seen people
time and again leave their door keys
under the door mat when going to
show.
Tip No. Garry your key with
you when you 90 out. Some Gay
It'lI be found-but not by you.
A certain class of burglars known
as "wampuses" go to the telephone
directories and find name beginning
with Miss" OF MRS" That's fair
proof, In most cases, that a widow or
single woman lives there. and these
fellows rob their homes because they
know they won't run up against q
man.
Tip No. 7-lf you're single
woman don't let your nane 90
Into the phone directory that way.
Let your frlends call "informa-
tlon" for your number, or use
plain Initials, without "Miss" or
"Mrs."
I'm going to tell how a burglar
breaks into q house In my next story

A burglar takes days, sometimes, to
get everything down pat, and makes
sure there's no chance Of slipping up.
A burglar isn't tramp. A bum
burglar may be. but good one isn't.
Tip No. 1-Don't trust strangers
around your house no matter what
Kind OF good clothes they wear or
how polite they are. Don't take
chances.
The first thing one of us fellows
does after reaching a town Is to make
tracks for the swell residences and
size things up. Out In the tony parts
|of town there aren't any coppers be-
cause there aren't any DRINKS to pick
|up or any fights. Most OF us fellows
won't try after any kind of a house
excepting two-story one, or one or
these apartments.
A burglar Is always looking out for
open cellar windows. You see lots
|of them held open with little stick
Ito ventilate the basement. It's one
|of the easiest ways OF getting into a
house on record.
Tip No. keep those cellar
windows closed and boIted at
night.
There's only one trouble with get.
ting into a house this way. It's easy
enough to get In but it's stiff propo-
|sition getting out OF the place II you
are caught before you can get up
stairs and open an outside door.
People seem to think that II they've
got screens on their windows nobody
can get In. They leave their win

FASHIONS IN JEWELRY

Styles and fashions In Jewelry may
truly be said TO be governed almost
entirely by the modiste. and the crea-
tons In the goldsmiths art shown In
the Jewelry shops OF Paris, London
and New York for the fall and winter
seasons shows the close association
the one has with the other. The dis
tinct departure Of the modiste In
creating the styles for the seasons
now at hand has had q direct and very
noticeable effect on the goldsmith's
productions, for il has become neces-
sary to furnish such ideas In gem
ornaments, mounted In platinum, az
well as semi-precious jewels set In
unique mountings Of gold, for more
informal occasions, which will be In
harmony with the gowns In vogue. In
short the styles In jewelry have kept
face with those OF the modesto and the
leading shops are showing styles
which are a radical departure from
the ordinary.
tured taste will be found to wear
pearls and diamonds to the exclusion
or other precious stones. and the
forms In which these jewels will be
worn will be collarettes, ropes and
single strand necklaces, or of two or
more strands hung In festoon. A
splendid effect Is produced by sus-
pending a pear-shaped pearl or dia-
mond from the center OF a single
strand OF graduated pearls. Diamonds
OF such unusual shades, such as olive
green. brown, canary, pink and green
are also shown In combination with
pure white diamonds and produce an
exquisite effect.
Sautiors OF pearls In three or four
strands. with clasp and side orna-
ments Of diamonds, from which may
be suspended q diamond plague or
sautoir watch. The latter Is OF ex-
tremely thin model and may be had
1eweled In various degrees of excel
lence.
y 1t Is safe to say that with the pro-
nounced shades OF color shown for
evening gowns, such as satin OF deep
carmine-pink and dull porcelain-blue
that diamonds and pearls will be the
favored gems for formal occasions.
For semi-formal affairs, however,
very pronounced changes are noticed
In tewelry fashions. A few seasons
back q jeweler who would have sug-
gested combining coral and garnets
would have been scorned for suggest
ing. which at first thought. is an
atrocious combination of colors But
some OF the smartest effects shown
In cavaliers and necklaces, have been
made possible by combining these
very corals and garnets and mount
Ing them In red gold Anothar paw
and exquisite combination 10 obtained
by mounting black opal and turquoise
together In green gold. tho effect be-

mothers carried. will be one of the
fashions Of the coming season.
Girdles and belt of satin are again
fashionable for dresses of crepe or
marquisette. They are fastened at
the left side In front and finished with
only one long streamer caught at hem
Of skirt.
Because of the popularity of all
shades of gray. there is again the re-
turn to fashion Of cut steel Many Of
the designs are copies of those worn
In the eighteenth century. Pendants,
buttons, buckles, bag mounts and
slides to wear on velvet throatlets
are among the novelties.
Street shoes OF calfskin and even
OF patent leather will be severely
tailormade with plain-stitched seams,
and with only the smallest of eyelet
holes. The evening slippers and
pumps will be as elaborate as the In
dividual taste and purse will warrant
They will be made of velvet, satin,
kid and suede, and will be decorated
with fancy rosettes Of ribbon. tulle
or flowers.
Beaver cloth toques and turbans,
either self or velvet trimmed, will be
extensively seen this fall and winter.
