Serge 10 preferred to cloth for the
serv1ceable coat and very often a
smart little coat Of serge has no
trimming at all save a big collar of
some contrasting material.
Dark blue serge and black and
white check seem to be the favor

serviceable wear, though biscuit and
khaki tones arc considerably used.

SMOOTH EYE NEEDLE BEST
Choice Of Needles for Embroidery
Matter In Which Great Care
Should Oe Exercised,

Exercise care in the choice Of nee
dies for embroidery. The best is a
needle with smooth eye that allows
the silk plenty of leeway and will not
pull or rough it.
Be sure your needle is adapted to
the size of the silk. A too small eye
cuts and trays the silk, gathering it
in thick lump which must be forced
through the fabric. A too large one,
on the other hand, shows the holes
and makes the work look as if it had
too few stitches.
In general, when working on the
usual materials, a No. 9 or a No. 10
needle is best for double silk, No. 10
for fine embroidery with a single
thread, No. for thick floss, twisted
embroidery silk and outline silk and
No. 8 for rope silk.
In shading, where number of col
ors are used alternately, have a needle
for each color, and use the different

Acting Animals.

This is a game called acting ami
mails. One child pretends to be some
kind Of animal and acts just as that
animal would act Then tho other
children guess what he is trying to
be. The child who guesses correctly
may be the next one to represent an
animal. 1t is really very funny, espe-
cially If you try to initiate something
like q stork standing on one leg or a
rhinoceros or turtle or even 4

An Unlaureled Hero.

Here is niche in the Hall of Fame
for Seth A. Eaton, a rural mail car
rier from the Middleboro post ONCE,
who, surrounded by woodland fire. his
horse lying on the ground stided with
smoke, his own hair singed, his hat
burned and one side of his face and
hands blistered, was still mindful Of
duty and saved the mail he was car
rying by burying it in the sand, before
he fought through the line of firo to
safety. Not all the heroes tread the
battlefields.-Fall River Herald.

Neckband Again.

The mode Of the low-necked dress

out the black velvet neckband once
more. This band is about an inch IN

merely a band, fastening in back or
front under a buckle or pretty pin
Now. however, 1t is fastened in the
back in the manner Of thirty or forty
years ago, with the long ends hanging
down the back.

4 Compliment,

Senator Depew, at q dinner In his
honor. said of his notable oratorical
gift:
Il have received many compliments
on my skill at after-dinner speaking:

typhoid and recover, you might have
pneumonia and recover. you might
have yellow fever and recover, but IL
you ever have lockjaw you'd bust!'"

Tom and Vera Have Secret Between
Them and Each in Burst Of Con-
fidence Tells Friend.

Tom and Vera had a secret between
them. In burst of confidence Tom
told it to a mutual friend, Will; but
regretting his action, obtained prom
Use from Will that he would never let
Vera know that the secret had been
told.
Will, however, told Vera that Tom
had let him into the secret, but made
her promise not to tell Tom that he
(Will) had informed her of having
obtained the Information from Tom.
A little later Tom decided to let Vera
know that he had told the secret to
viii, but instructed her not to tell
VIII that he (Tom) had admitted to
giving away the secret to Will.
Vera went to Will and told him that
Tom had confessed to having let him
into the secret, but she made VIII
promise not to let Tom Know that she
had given him this information. She
also went to Tom and told him, in
strict confidence, that Will had told
her about having learned the secret
from him.
VIII next went to Tom and inform
ed him Of Vera having stated that he
(Tom) had admitted to giving away
tho secret. Tom retorted by saying
that Vera had told him that he (Wil)
had advised her of being let into
tho secret. They both promised not
to tell Vera Of having given away
the condolences which she had late
ly given.
But this is tho question: Were any
more condolences necessary? Or had
all of the three friends heard enough
to be convinced that the others knew
everything that could be told?

The forthcoming semi-centennial re
union of the LIST Iowa cavalry at Keo-
kuk on the anniversary of the battle
of Wilson's creek is bringing TO light
many memories and wartime relics.
One of the relics which has a lively
interest In Davenport and Dubuque is
a copy of a paper published by Iowa
soldiers. now in the hands Of II. B.
Clifford of Grinnell. a member Of Com
pany /. recruited in Dubuque. The
paper was printed in Macon City, Mo-,
by printers in the ranks Of the LIST
Iowa, and bore the title Our Whole
Union, or the Missouri Register" It
was issued from an office owned by a
rebel sympathizer named Johnson, who
fed at the approach of the union
troops. The paper was issued on the

The articles written by the editors
are breezy, the work of Wilkie and
Ballou being discernable by those who
knew their styles. This is a portion
of the valedictory penned by the bril-
liant Wilkie:
Johnson, We leave You tonight
we're going where bullets are thick
and mosquitoes thiCker-We may new
er return-if we do not, old boy, re-
member us. We sat at your table, we
stole Latin from your Dictionary of
Latin Quotations. we wrote UNION
articles with your pen, your ink, on
your paper, we printed them on your
press, our boys set 'em up with your
types; they used your galleys, your
shooting sticks your 'Chases,' your
'quads,' your Spaces your rules
your everything-we drank some poor
whisky out Of your bottle; and now,
Johnson, after doing all this for you,
you won't forget us, will you? Keep
US in mind; remember us in your ev-
ening prayers. and your morning pray
ers, too, when you say them, if you do
say them land if you put up a petit
ton at midday, don't forget us then;
or, if you awake in the solemn still
ness Of the night and implore a ben
isOn upon the absent, remember us
then. Johnson, goodbye! If you come
our way, call. "-Davenport Democrat.
