little puff. In the other side of tho
wonderful little purse is another COM
partment containing a small pair of

in mother-of-pearl, and last, but most
surprising Of all, because it is so care

WAS REAL STOP WATCH"

He was a newly appointed constable
in the rural districts and he had come
all the way to town to find the watch
maker who had sold him faulty
timepiece.
But what's the matter with the
watch?" asked the matchmaker In al
innocence
Natter" drawled the old man. by
Heck. this watch stops every few min
utes."
The matchmaker came from behind
the counter and patted his dissatisfied
customer on the shoulder.
MY dear man. he whispered. you
have just been made constable.
haven't you?"
That's what be-" was the proud
response
And you expect to arrest motorists
for speeding?"

tiles without stop watch? Go home

And the old man was so puzzled he
walked out of the watchmaker's and

DRESS COMMENT.

Black chiffon tunics over blue or
green or orange satin foundations are
among the more favored styles.
Lace is more and more claiming
the attention for trimming hats and
gowns.
Black and white are most used, and
when decorating skirts it is adjusted
in flounces or as tunic.
Old gold silk for afternoon and
evening wear is being combined with
Chantilly lace.
Cloth of gold and silver tissue
comes again to a supple and glisten-
ing rescue when the dull rose and ma
hogany shades cry for a contrasting
touch
Yards and yards of shaded or
changeable ribbon will be devoted to
the hats in enormous loops, bows and
scarfs.
Figured silks are vying with two
toned effects for street and house
dresses.
Large fiat hats have appeared with
flowers in wreaths encircling the low
crowns. This style is becoming tt
nine out of ten women, for it is unde
niable that the long, sweeping lines
of hats will add to the charm of thu
face beneath, and they are rarely try
ing to the wearer on account of stiff
or straight effects.

Trim the flounce with a narrow band
