began life as asnewsboy, recently gave
out the following as the code of his
life:
1t doesn't make amy difference
whether boy is "a ragged newsboy
or high school graduate with money
he will succeed If The Is honest and
wants to.
There is nothing so scarce In the
world as boy of the right sort.
He must be righE-truthful, homes

afraid of hard work.
He has got to take hard blows in

More rich men ARE holding out
their hands in the darkness to give a

blood they-the captains of industry

There are four excellent positions

HOBBLE SKIRT
reign is over
Newest Dresses Are Not Hob.
bIed at All.

New York, November 14.-Reams
have been written about the hcbole
skirt and it's extreme ugliness and
unbeconingnes to the female form di-
vine. 1t is rather comforting to know
that in Paris, the capital of tae elf
fons, its run is completely over. The
newest gowns emanating from the
French coutouries are certainly tight,
but not so much as they We're last
spring.
On the contrary, the folds fall nat
urally and gracefully from the wais5,
which remains rather short
This latter characteristic deprives
the figure of one of its most beautiful
ines, the inward curve OF the back.
When shall we see it again? 1t mist
be borne in mind by our readers that
no trace whatever of the hobble skirt
is in tee best and newest of Paris
gowns.
An example may be quoted. 1t is a
tailor-made in myrtle green cloth
with tablier pointed at the sides and
embroidered in the same color as the
clot hin geometric design. AT the
back the skirt is fairly full. The coat
is caught in at the waist by two TABS
placed close above each other at the
back. These serve to confine the full
ness to the middle of the back and
thus bring the little jacket into accord
with the full skirt Embroidery is
added in IA point from the shoulders
and on the turn-back cuff of the
sleeves, which end midway between
elbow and wrist.
