GOOD USE FOR EXTRA scARFS
May Be Made Into Blouse by Any One at All Clever With
 the Needle

If you have an extra scarf in the Paisley, Dresden or Parisian design and want to have a blouse to match the scarf which you wish to retain, for scarfs still have wide fashion, the idea of turning the extra one into a blouse is one you can snatch up and put to good use.
 Scarfs, muffiers and kerchiefs of these silky crepe materials are easily cut up and made into neat and becom- ing blouses by the home needlework- CT who takes advantage of the inno- vation.
 Almost invariably the middle pos sesses a figure design, while the bor- der is also composed of figures with band of white or light color between these two figured portions. Make 1t point to use these strips of mate rial for the lower part of the blouse or the inside of the sleeves, and in thus utilizing the plain strip a bo- lero effect is secured.
 One must choose for oneself ac- cording to the largeness of design whether to set in the figured parts lengthwise or crosswise, the length wise effect being assumed generally only when the figure Is very large.
 These with smaller figures can so well be arranged in series of cross wise bars that it would hardly be be coming in the heightened effect.
 These crepe scarf waists are draped under sheer yelling. to which they adapt themselves readily without any nerve jarring aspect that attend some of the innovations that are executed in such an off-hand manner.

AN IRON
 DOG
By sUsANNE GLENN

tCopyriRht. 1911. by Associated Literary Press-)
 q haven't lived next door to the Rumfords 25 years for nothing, Jen- nieI"
 Mrs. Grey emphasized her remark by an energetic placing of the tea kettle over the fire.
 Fred Rumford may be an improve ment over some of them-I think my self he is some like his mother-and don't know as we ought to blame him for being born a RuInford, but I do not want to see him lording 1t over my girls as every Rumford of them all has lorded it over his wife!"
 "But Fred loves me, mother" ex- postulated Jennie, tearfully.
 q wish he had discovered it soon- er," said keen-sighted Mrs. Grey. "He never showed you any attention until he needed a housekeeper. I'll say all I mean to say right now, Jennie, and then you must do as you think best.
 Fred is as hard and close as his iather-why, they wouldn't keep a cat or dog two inches long on the place for fear one inch of it might be stom- ach. Fred's mother was always an awful coward, and was forever want ing a good watchdog. So one day her husband brought home the big iron dog. I happened to be over there when he came with it.
 "'There, Milly.' he said, is the dog you've been wanting It didn't cost no more than live one. It will last a lifetime, and won't be eating of its own head every two or three months. And it will scare tramps and stray cats as well as any of them, I guess!
 Poor Milly Rumford was mortified most to death. It gave her such an uncomfortable feeling that she never used the front porch again. But there at the corner of the house stands that ridiculous iron dog to this day, a monument to Rumford closenessl
 Maybe if Fred has some capable, determined woman, he might make

survival of the klmono Sleeve.

It is strange how faithful Dame Fashion is to the hmono sleeve, which still appears on the latest models, and we have gone back to the very high waist effect. In most of the new skirts there is a loose pleat at the back. which hangs down to varying lengths, but generally reaches the hem. This has charming effect, and takes away the extreme severity of the plain, tight skirt. The train which has made Its appearance is either cut quite square or is very narrow indeed.

good husband, but he'd be the death of little meek thing like you."
 Her duty done, Mrs. Grey closed her lips resolutely. Jennie must take her own chances if she persisted in them.
 Though the girl remained true to her lover, she never saw the iron dog from that day without an uneasy won- derment as to the future.
 "A month from today" she said a little shyly as they fingered one even ing in the twilight, you will have me and Chrisi" She laughed as a huge yellow cat sprang upon her shoulder
 'T want you, all right, Jennie" re- turned the young man, "but I don't think I have ever bargained for Chris"
 ''But that was understood, of course. You couldn't keep Chris away from me if he knew where I wasl"
 we are not fond of cats at our house; they are entirely too useless. They are forever killing chickens and stealing meat; and if you want a mouse caught you have to set trap. guess if Chris gets troublesome about not staying home he'll have to be put out of the way!"
 Rumford spoke with easy assurance. The girl realized that her lovers man. ner was unmistakably changing as the wedding day approached and his cer- tainty of her increased. She clutched her pet protectingly, and her eyes looked defiant under cover of the dusk.
 Chris will be afraid of our dog. !" he added with a laugh, dropping down on step near where the girl was seated.
 That reminds me, Fred" Jennie spoke in carefully pleasant tones, q wish you would move that dog to some other part of the yard. It is so conspicuous right there beside the porch; and besides want that spot spaded up for a flower border"
 Fred Rumford was sflenced for a moment by her sheer audacity Then the vials of his displeasure overflow ed generously.
 Well, I'd just like to have you hear what father would say if that dog was to be movedI It IS a valuable orna- ment, and deserves a conspicuous place And there is going to be no flower bed littering up the front yard. If you have a desire to fuss with

In a New York street car a young man attracted the attention of the other passengers by leaping from his seat and picking up something from between the slats of the floor. Then he asked, Did anybody lose a $5 gold piece?" A ministerial looking man got up from his seat at the other end of the car and started toward the young man with outstretched hand.
 "Yes," he said. 'T dropped $5 gold piece when I got on, but owing to the crush I couldn't find it."
 ''Very we'll" said the young man g1eefully, here's nickel toward it."
