Fooled by the Ladder.

Clang. clatter, bang! Down the
street came the fire engines.
Driving along ahead, obviously Of
danger, was a farmer in a ram-shack-

him: Hi, there, look out! The fire
department is coming"
Turning in by the curb the farmer
watched the hose cart, salvage wagon
and engine whizz past. Then he
turned out into the street again and
drove on. Barely had he started when
the hook and ladder came tearing
along. The rear wheel of the big truck
Slowed into the farmers buggy, smash
ing it to smithereen and sending the
farmer sprawllng into the gutter. The
policeman ran to his assistance.

r HE season has brought in and in
1 troduced successfully number of
hats very simply trimmed which are
nevertheless quite elaborate enough
The bodies of these hats are made of
beautiful braids, of which there are
so many different patterns, combined
with folded maline, matching them in
color. The result is exquisitely soft
and light shapes which look better
when simply trimmed than otherwise.
The Napoleon shape at the bottom of
the group is in silk braid, kings blue
in color. A close shirring of maline
is let in about the brim. breaking its
width and giving an airy touch that
is lovely. A shaded quill, blue to gray.
and a double fan of velvet ribbon, in
the same colors, are mounted at the
front. A single fiat band of the blue
velvet ribbon extends over the back
trimmed into the crown. This Is all
the trimming and nothing. more Is

BY No Means Angelic.

We are all much alike. The best we
can do is to curb our faults and favor
our virtues
What faults should l curb" very
pretty young lady asked.
WELL" said Walter, Il should think
you'd have about the same faults to
curb as little girl talked to yester-
day. She's charming little girl and
as we conyersed alone in the drawing
room while waiting for her father and
mother to come down, said to her:

She smiled and wriggled. 'Yeth,

The Bath as a Tonic.

Some women say that they have not

That is usually the case when the bath
Is considered bother and too much
strength is expended In the scrubbing

Is the quick one that is over within
three minutes. Such bath is a tonic.
It is not necessary to get into the

In the dock stood an old woman,

Beside her was a tall, slim, attractive

They were the Charlesworths. The
young woman was the heroine of the
romantic motor car mystery-the girl
who was to have huge fortune come

pounds from her victims pockets.
How" people asked one another as
they sat in court and heard the recital
of the frauds, could any one have be-

folds of maline does double service. 1t

The first temptation to become a

weave little romance about it, and

fections OF some gentleman Of high
position and wealth. She assures her
friends that they by no means know
all about her. If these stories work
satisfactorily. and she is of dishonest
disposition, she later on proceeds to
turn the stories to account.
