BLUE AND BROWN ARE SMART
These Are the Years Popular Coiors,
the Latter Especially in Its
Darker Shades.

Certain colors never go out of fash
lon and others are doomed to a short
life by the very quality that makea
them popular. Navy blue is one of tie
colors whose popularity never seems
to ductuate from season to seasor,
probably because it is so universally
becoming. The browns are more var.
able, but this year they are consiG.
cred extremely smart, especially IL
theU darker shades-Kaflr, nutmeR,
seal and walnut
In fact, all the new colors are pes>
ceptibly darker. Black is the smars-
est color Of the season, but it's effect
is far from being sober or somber,
because it is always relieved by White
or by some vivid color. 1t has had lis
effect on other colors; the smart blues
are almost black, the new greens are
the deep shades of tea-leaf and win
tergreen; and prune is the most popu~
lar shade of purple. Black used to be
kept almost entirely for older women.

''Your apology is untakeable," he
answered. "Since you have decided
to acquire the apartment that is the
necessary essential"
What makes you think we've de-.
cided to take it," inquired Clara j.
'The little boy who is with you,'
the janitor said gravely. by some
mysterious concern he secured my
hatchet, and for fifteen minutes past
he has been chopping down the wood
work in the buffers pantry, which is
at times fatal to the building. But. OF
course, since you decide to take the
apartment the damage is immaterial

living there"

o5rALL WAIST NOT NEEDED
Women Gladly Follow New Law Of
Paris, but Their Hips Must
Be Reduced.

Most certainly very small waists
are not today necessity in beauty
culture; indeed, some classic statues
dressed In Partisan modes might pass
muster now; twenty-six inches is none
too big, even twenty-eight inches.
Paris made the law, and every one
followed it joyously; even the stays,
pull as you may, will not give you a
small waist. It is even rumored that
Frenchwomen pad the front Of the fig
ure, to cause it to appear straight. It
Is not the waist we have to reduce,
but the hips; the one desideratum is
to keep them to the straight line.
Catherine de Medici when she in-
troduced the bone corset, made thlr-
teen inches the right size for the
waist, and many woman at court
sacrificed her life to attain it. There
is no necessity to have long bones to
keep in the hips; coutil or brocade
may be cut so as to confine the d.
mensions. Digestive organs are now
left full and easy play; but we do
not want to get too tubelike, which
seems the special danger of the mo-
ment.

FRANXLIN'S CLOTHES STORY
ls Brought Out Again for Airing and
It Is Urged That Our Diplomats
Should Follow Example.

Every now and then when a laud-
lomatic corps in something more be-
fitting their dignity on ceremonial oc-
casions than the funereal spiketail or
waiter costume in which they are now
garbed, cry is raised by some Of
our representatives in congress that
such change is undesirable, and
the old story of the way Franklin ap.
peared at the court of Louis XVI. of
France IS brought out again for an
airing, and it is urged that our diplo-
mats should follow his example.
Franklin, it will be remembered, ap-
peared among other foreign ambassa-
dors and the uniformed generals and
admirals at court in a plain suit, such
as he was accustomed to travel in
The French, ever eager for novelty,
enthusiasm and supposed it was the
costume of an ambassador from poor
and struggling nation.
AS a matter of fact, Franklin had
no intention of wearing the suit in
which he appeared, and until he found
out it's effect, he probably had an un-
comfortable time Of it, for he was a
man with an acute sense of the fit
ness Of things. Some time before he
had ordered a handsome court suit
and expected to make as fine an ap-
pearance as any other foreign am
bassador, but the tailor from whom he
had ordered the suit did not get 1t
finished in time and Franklin had to
go in the only suit he had ready.
He continued to wear it after his
court suit was done, as he saw he
had made an unintentional "hit. ="
When he was in England, he wore a
handsome court dress of velvet, en-
broidered with gold.-The Christian
Herald.

StronQ PREACHING.

The minister's eight-year-old daugh
ter was returning with her parents
from church, where the district super
1ntendent had that morning occupied
the pulpit.
"Oh, father" asked the little girl
her face alive with enthusiasm. Don't
you think Brother c. is very strong
preacher? l do."
Gratified by this evidence of un.
usual intelligence on the part of hia
offspring, the minister eagerly in,
quired into her reasons for her state
ment.
"Oh." replied the little miss. art
lessly, didn't you SEQ how the dust
rose when he stamped his feet ?'-

VI Hunts a Flat
By GEORGE v. HOBART

This particular janitor was Charles
the Real. Oh, but maybe he wasn't
the lad with the loud lingo!
AS soon as we butted-ln he picked
mamma out as a steady listener. and
he led her through field Of prose
where the large, fat words grew in
rich profusion.
When child fancy he must have
pushed pocket dictionary under his
scalp, for he had the largest collection
of homeless language I ever lis
tened to-
"You will notice, men," he chatted
on, that the builder was very es-
scntial In obtaining large rooms so
that the tenants might confirm to
their own comfort. Yes, mem; they's
stationary washtubs in the kitchen !;
and you will notice, mem, that the
wainscoating in the dining-hall is
percolated so as to inflict itself neces-
sarily upon the harmony Of the deco
rations you may select. Yes, mem,
it is all open plumbing."
Clara j. took me by the arm and
led me through the condensed cata-
combs, pointing out to me the objects
of interest along the route.

Usefulness of Brothers.

The girl with brothers, and owning
a home in which brothers friends are
made welcome, has an infinitely better
chance of making happy marriage
than the girl with neither of these ad
vantages.
Brothers make excellent chaperons
Any man they introduce to their sis
ters is quite sure to be all that can be
desired. Men know men as no woman
can ever hope to know them.
If brother shows his willingness
for things to happen by bringing {
friend often home, his little sister may
feel quietly confident that her hear
is leading her in the right direction.
The brother with pretty sisters is
quite philanthropist in his way, since
he runs the risk of losing the friend O.
his bosom if he becomes his sisters
ardent admirer and the lady fails tt
return the admiration.

A Bio Maine EaQIe,

Mrs. Andrew Hartman of Bucksport,
a few days ago killed an eagle with an
ak in her poultry house, and her quick
action undoubtedly prevented her re-
ceiving severe injuries In an encounter
with the bird. The persistent barking
of the dog drew her attention to the
hen house, and on looking within she
saw large bird causing strange
commotion among the hens. Thinking
the bird to be hawk, she grabbed an
ak from nearby woodplle and,
strengthened by excitement and fear
for the safety of her hens, she dealt
the big bird blow which killed it at
once. She was greatly astonished to
find that she had, unaided, killed an
enormous golden eagle. The eagle had
bitten the head off one of the hens and
his talons had done other damage The
eagle measured seven feet from tip to
tip of it's powerful wings, and from his
feathered legs talons two and one-half
inches long protruded.-Kennebec
Journal.

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form OF humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was slight Itching but
it grew steadily worse until, when I
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends Of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
In a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, II deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. l was
in despair, really afraid OF becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, would
scratch the worst places so that my
dnger-tips would be bloody. could
not sleep we'll and, after being asleep
short time, that awful stinging pain
would commence and then l would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.
Having used Cut1cura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, I now decided to
order a set Of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off.
as the disease seemed to be eradl-
Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn Of the scalp humor. CON-
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once. so had very little trouble. On
my scalp used about one half cake
Of Cuticura Soap and half a box of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time took six or seven bottles of Gu
tcura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or te-
dious treatment. Since then l have
had no scalp trouble of any kind.
Standing up. with my hair unbound, it
comes to my knees and had It not been
for Cuticura I should doubtless be
wholly bald.
This Is a voluntary, unsolicited tes-
tmonial and take pleasure in writing

let her sleep.
It was a jeweled joint with seven
rooms and a landlord.
There were self-folding doors and
hot and cold gas in every room.
The gas meter had ball-bearing
axles and was guaranteed to exceed
the speed limit set by law.
The dumbwaiter was so lazy that
every time it went to work it let out
yell of mortal agony, and the floors
were sound-proof against everything
but noise.
The outlook provided superb

ten by my old pals who had developed
phunnyphobia
Behind closed doors at "mother's"
we sat on the slopes Of Arcadia and
gave our fool friends the laugh by the
absent treatment process.
Clara ]. went through the newspa-
per ads. looking for apartments, and
at the end of the week she had picked
219 winners.
One bright day, mother, Clara j.,
Tacks, and l sauntered forth for the
purposing of finding janitor tame
enough to live in the same house with.
"A sweet little nest of our own"
was the way Clara J. put it, but men,
tally l put the foot to that nest and
pushed it out of the tree
A nest, forsooth! Not if l saw it
first. l had friend once who built
a nest in a Harlem fiat, and three
months later a strange bird flew in
and eloped with his wife. So me for
a dug-out with a yale lock on the
front gate-always!
The first palace we entered bore
up bravely under the name of Hello
trope hall"
suppose they had sprinkled that
name over it SO as to counteract the
effects of the stiff fight soap factory
was putting up four blocks away.
"Heliotrope hall" was all right, but
1t wouldn't do. The janitor showed
us through a collection of horse stalls
hN irl nd vyyho oc1yn
him if he knew any place around
there large enough to hold table and
two chairs he blew out his cylinder
head.
The janitor told us there were only
three dark rooms, and when l told
him that three was too many for us
and not quite enough for a photog-
rapher l thought he'd bite me.
In the meantime Tacks was out in
the hall cutting his initials on the
dining-room door with a penknife.
Tacks always manages to leave a
wide, white wake behind him as he
sails through life
Our next guess was high bundle
of stone tied up with strings Of white
windows and called The Daisyora." !"
Wouldn't that name make your
pulse beat faster?
I've often wondered how apartment
houses and Pullman cars manage to
do business under the burden of the
bitter names that are thrust upon
them. Fancy a big slob of car roll
ing through the country with the
, name "Babyetta" painted all over it!
l should think it would want to
crawl in tunnel and never come out
again.
The janitor in "The Daisyora" was
made up to look like walrus.
When I told him what we were
looking for he showed us two tusks
and led the way to the elevator.
That fellow had the softest voice l
ever heard. Every time he spoke it
sounded like somebody hitting a fat
squash with paddle.
After the janitor had shown US
through the cubby-hole he said that
no children were allowed there.
"Why not?" said. 1T looks nearly
large enough"
Then he ran the tusks out again
and we quit him.
Three blocks away we anchored
for few minutes at a bungalow
called "The Dulcydooza."
A colored bell-boy met us at the
door and dared us to come In.
We were offered fiat on the fifth
floor but the walls were so close to-
gether l told them they'd better save
it. It might be a success as a place
to press autumn leaves, but never as
a place to live In, unless the tenants
went through life standing up.
Tacks took a knob off one Of the

police station is only four blocks east.
Some people finds considerable en-
joyness In celebrating the cause of
Justice as it is dispelled in a police
station; but, for my part, preference
good brisk walk of an evening,
which is always essential to an exer-
cising standpoint"
l thought that speech would cure
Clara j., but she was still in dream
land.
The place pleased her, SO made up
my mind she should have It. With
the exception of the janitor's vecabu-
larry it certainly was the best cellar
we had found so far, and I was game
to hang up my hat there If she was.
Clara Us mother and trooped into
the sitting-room to discuss the situa.

the janitor rushed in.

moved on to the next stand.
"Oh, what cute little dining
