SOME QUEER
WALL PAPERS
Rooms Covered With Losing
Tickets and Worthless
Bonds

A conglomeratlon Of "cat and dog
securities is not got together and sold
az auction every little while by some
curb broker down in Broad street or
by an auctioneer in the real estate OK
change. says the New York Press, At
such sales $50 note usually will pur-
chase stock certificates that have a
face value of more than 100000. The
auctioneer descants more on the beauty
Of the engraving that adorns them
than on the mine Of Improbable in
dustry that they once represented. His
reason for this is that among the bid
ders are some faddsts who have a
taste for the bizarre in wall paper. who
fancy that one Of their rooms would
look well decorated with a dado of
stocks that have brought disaster Ia
their original owners.
when I buy any Of these artistic
securities look not only at the colors
i'm which they are printed and the eN-
cellence of the engraving but also al
the name Of the company represented,

THE BUTCHERS COMPLAINT.

The butcher was cutting a large por-
terhouse. He raised his heavy cleav-
er Break the bone here, please"
said the feminine purchaser, touching
the spot indicated with her foreinger.
Down came the cleaver. She drew her
finger away Just in time to escape los
ing Il. The butcher turned pale.
"Just see that" he said Half a
second more and you'd be short nm
ger, and it wouldn't be my fault either.
why do all women point at meat? Tell
me that. They all do. though it's just
as easy to tell the butcher what you
want. We have the sharpest tools We
can get, and we work fast-have to do
IT, We can't spend our time watching
women's digits. and the wonder Of It is
that there isn't a little pile OF them
here every evening when we close"
Yes, know we all point. I don't
know why do. but do. know it's
dangerous" said the purchaser. THAT
steak viii be enough, since I have the
chops for tonight, but viii YOU please
trim off all this fat?" and she drew a
slender forefnger over the porterhouse

Hre You planning
the Spring frocks7
If So. Here Are Fashion Points
You Should Know.

an exclusive dressmaking establish
ment was delightfully."- carried out IN all
over eyelet embroidered crash, with
hip length blouse OF tire same material.
The fancy, though. IS to combine this
eyelet embroidery with plain matching
crash from which the skirt Is usually
fashioned.
Hip yokes are one OF the spring
dress novelties with plated skirts be-
low them. These hip effects are varl-
ously evolved. a rather striking de-
parture from the straight around yoke
being a model that wends its way down
the back breadth, looking very like the
skirts OF a mans claWhammer coat
The front and sides OF the skirt that
bears this yoke are trimmed with a
deep band OF eyelet embroidery, and
the waist has the same needleworx
outlining the yoke and sleeves. The
yoke IS OF very fine embroidered ba-
tiste. The next skirt choice is the null
tigored affair or the circular one.
One or the smartest and most useful
gowns for spring and summer is the
embroidered robe OF pongee. The nat
ural colors. dull mahogany reds, sage
green's old blue and gold are among
the shades most approved. The en-
broidery on these robes IS in tree
stitch or OF solid darning in Persian
patterns and colors. Such a frock is
not expensive, as II cleans perfectly
and may be worn on a number Of oc-
casions.
To come back for a moment TO the
linen frock. A stunning example seen
recently was Of a heavy mesh in a soft
rose color and made with Russian
tunic and plated skirt. The blouse
was belted at the waist and fashioned
on the order OF a Jumper with guimpe
and sleeves OF finely tucked handker-
chief linen in the same tone. Bands of
embroidery finished the neck and ex-
tended midway up the sleeves and ap-
peared on the lower edge OF the tunlc
The skirt had a deep hem and was
walking length.
Here IS a hint for the woman who 4,
making up her lingerie blouses, Col
ored ones are thought more fetching
and smart than the white modei-ai

my mind there is nothing that IS quite
