oujours Amour

Prithe tell me, Dimpie Chin,
AT what age does love begin?
Your blue eyes have scarcely seen
Summers three, my fairy queen,
But a miracle of sweets,
Soft approaches, sly retreats,
Show the little archer there
Hidden in your pretty hair,
When didst learn a heart to win?
prithe tell me, Dimple Chin!
~Oh!" the rosy lips reply,
II can't tell you If try.
Tis so long | can't remember
Ask some younger lass than /!
Tell, 0 tell me, Grizzled-Face,
DO your heart and head heep pace?
Waen does hoary Love expire
When do frosts put out the fire?
can its embers burn below
All that chill December snow9
care you sill soft hands to press,
Bonny heads to smooth and bless?
When does love give up the chase?
Tell. O tell me, Grizzled-tacel
AM" the wise old lips reply,
Youth may pass and strength may
die;
ASK some older sage than H.
Gut of Love | can't foretoken;

NEW DESIGN OF HEADDREsS
Seml-Transparent Gold Tlnsel the
Basis for Really Pretty
Adornment.

An odd and becoming headdress to
be worn in the evening, especially at
the theater, where hair is likely to be
nussed from the chiffon scarf or hat,
is a cap-like arrangement OF semi
transparent gold tinsel.
This fits closely over the back OF
the hair and around the face are tur-
ban folds Of shimmering tissue to
match, or sometimes yellow chiffon is
used. The hair comes from under
this cap in soft curls or loose waves.
Another smart evening couture has
q wide band Of black velvet ribbon
brought round the hair about the mid
die Of the head. This band Is en-
broidered with detached violets In
colored jewels, different shades OF
amethysts usually. There are also
forget.me.nots in blue stones, and
rosebuds In coral.
Soft turban bands Of gold tissue are
held round the head by slides OF
French jewelry. These slides are also
effective when gauze folds the color
Of the frock are used.

age, with a temper that fits the Rea-
gan exactly.
A season or so ago he was pitching
for Mobile. A few days ago / met
him, and back somewhere in the dim
recesses of memory was the recoliec-
ton that he had had some trouble
down south.
What was that row you had?" /
asked.
Say" he said, wasn't that the raw
est deal fellow ever got?"
Il don't remember just what 1t was"
Why, do you know, they threw me
into Jail down there. kept me in jail
eight days, fined me $125 and were
going to send me to the turpentine
camps"
His voice quivered with indignation.
What did you do?"
Me? Nothing at all. Them south

II 1t hadn't been that the old Judge
went away on his vacation and q
young one took his place, ia have
been sent to the turpentine camp

But what did you dot"
Me? Nothin'. Just had q little
run-in with the umpire. Then they
dragged me OF the field, tried to mob
me, and threw me into jail"
His voice quivered again.
But what did you do? They couldn't
do that for nothing"
Say, you don't know them south
erners. They'll do anything II they
get sore on q northerner."
Tell me about It," said, coaxingly.
We'll, 1t was this way. We were
playing Gulfport, and l had them
beaten to in the ninth inning.
There were two out and a man on
first base and two strikes on the bat
ter, so 1t looked as If the game was
as good as over. That batter couldn't
hit 67s against my spitball, and he
knew it. l broke a spit ball right
through the center Of the plate, right
across his belt, the most perfect
strike you ever saw, and that ham Of
an umpire called it q ball.
Il didn't say much to him. just
told him he was a blank blank. blink

I'd pitched that fellow four spit balls,
