HOUSEBOAT IS INEXPENSIVE
Whole Family May Be Given Cruise

Around Some Lake or River.

But few people can afford the house
boats one sees illustrated in the maya

chance to take the whole family and
spend couple of weeks, or more,
cruising about some lake or river. A
houseboat is figured in the accompany

inexpensive, and still large enough and
convenient enough to make a family
outing very pleasant. In many places
a f1at-bottomed "scow' can be found,

can be purchased for trihing sum. A

COURTESY TO BOYS MOTHER

Valuable Posse Observation-Disclosures
Also to Sister.

least, have from him the same marks
can tell a boys character pretty &C,
curately by the way in which he treats
his mother, for as a mother has prob
ably done and will do more for her son
than any other woman-with perhaps
one exception-will ever do, he ought,
in return, to treat her as his most val.
liable possession. His courtesy, his
chivalrous and knightly bearing toward
her, are never thrown away.
She sees it all and thinks more of it
than does any one else and he need
never fear that his thoughtfulness is
thrown away Perhaps, occasionally,
such conduct may to a certain extent,
go unnoticed by some other women,
but by his mother, never.
In the same way ones conduct to
ones sister is test of good breeding:
Sisters are not mothers, by any means:
but still they demand courtesy from
their brothers. Perhaps a sister can
be pretty hard to get on with at times,
but nevertheless she is a woman. and
she can do certain things without any
fear Of retaliation, because the nobility
of the man in the boy is bound to re-
spect the woman in his sister.
Let her tease and tantalize, but re-
member the best way to cure her is to
treat her so like a lady who could
never descend to such methods that
she will soon be forced to stop, in or.
der to live up to the character Won
have given her. Mothers come first
therefore, over all the world, and sis;

you do anything else in your life, and
with even more care, and then we can

been pushed off the counter. Platt's
head had been crushed. The coroner
said Platt had been dead fully six
hours when the body was found, which
indicated that the old man had been
surprised while eating and beaten to
death. Plat always carried consider
able money and small wallet con-
tanning numerous old coins of America
and other countries. His pockets had
been rifled, the murderer obtaining
about $3.50 in cash and some clothing.
The wallets were found in the alley
back of the store. The murderer had
apparently locked the front door, leav-
ing through the rear door, setting the
spring lock so that 1t caught.
The police and detectives worked
for two weeks on the case and were
unable to discover single clew as to
the identity of the murderer. They
had practically given up hope when
the coroner received letter contain

Platt's pockets. They were easily
identified by numismatists to whom
Plat had shown them.
The next day the police found a suit

were several pieces of clothing, all
worn and frayed. It is believed that
the murderer took clothing from the
store, changed his old clothes and put
his garments in the suit case. which
he cast into vacant lot.

CURVES NO LONGER IN STYLE

Parallel.

This is the season of the Dtsap-
pearance Figure.
Figures-as fgures-are no more.
They make excellent clothes props, or
pillow-case advertisements. But as
figures their day is done.
Venus has now vanished. Not by
Straightforward or force of circum-
stances, but by word of mouth. The
decree Of fashion has gone forth, and
Venus has bowed to the inevitable.
Not only has she mislaid her arm: she
has now lost her shape. The curves
and contours Of yesterday have be-
come the lines and angles Of today.
Women have gone back a decade.
They have discarded their corsets and
curves; their broad shoulders and mar
row waists. They are now perpendi-
cularly parallel, from head to heels.
In brief-they are waistless.
We do all we can nowadays to hide
our figures. If Nature has blessed
or cursed-us with a few fascinating
curves, We rush to the nearest Disap-
pearing-F igure-Factory, and purchase
a casing to fill the unnecessary spaces.

such skill and cunning that for two

Chemical Prints in Darkness

Here is the way to take a picture in
the dark: Draw picture on a piece
of paper, using sulphate of quinine in
making the outlines. Expose the paper
to the sun for a few minutes; then
place the paper face down on a piece
of sensitive paper, like that used by
photographers, and place the two
sheets between the leaves of a book 7.
the sheets are removed from :ne took
a few hours later you will f1nd that an
exact reproduction of the drawing will
have been impressed on the sensitive
paper. Designs of any sort can be
copied in this way, or you may trace
over printed picture or design with
sulphate of Quin1ne and by the same
process produce faithful copy Of the
print. Try it.
