Stray Yellow Dog Finds Good Friend

EVEN in staid and sedate Washing
u ton an amusing scene Will occur
and a stray yellow dog will find
friend. The gallant Ambassador JUS
serand Of France, in faultless attire,
was returning from hall where ne
had delivered an address. A liveried
footman was holding open the door OF
his carriage, and the coachman, sitting
stifHy on the box, was the very picture
of convention. The chivalrous ambas-
sador was bowling right and left, when
his eye fell upon little dog who had
made his way through the crowd and
stood in front Of him. The little ami
NAL looked beseechingly up into the
eyes of the great diplomat, who for
got his white gloves and stopped down
to pat the dusty head. But the sud
den motion frightened the dog. who
was used to being kicked and beaten,
and with his tail between his legs he
scampered away.

SMARTEST WHEN PLAIN
BIMPLlcITY THE KEYNOTE IN
cHILpREN's CLOTHING.
Really calls for the Exercise Of More
Ingenuity In Designing Than Would
Elaboratlon-Whlte Crepe
Is In Favor.

Clothes for small children are smart
sst when simplest nowadays. That
fact speaks volumes for the increas-
ing good taste among American moth
Brs, but It does not by any means Inn
ply that those mothers give less
thought and care to the dressing OF
their small folk than they once did'
according to the New York Sun.
on the contrary, smart simplicity Is
matter calling for more ingenuity In
designing than any amount OF elabora-
tion. One may dress a small girl OF
boy prettily, modishly and simply by
merely buying with taste moderately
priced ready-made garments or by
choosing attractive materials and
making them up on accepted and gen
orally useful lines; but II a mother
wants originality with simplicity ana
Is not content to dress her children
prettily as all her neighbors' children
are dressed, then this problem be-
comes more difficult.
Among the most original OF the
seasons little dresses are those in
which the straight apron tunic, short
or long, figures and those made with
short kimono sleeves cut practically
1t right angles from the body of the
iress, which is usually cut merely In
two pieces with a seam down each
shoulder and outer arm. This latter
idea was exploited last year, but is ap-
Oarently attaining more popularity this
season and is illustrated in various
pretty materials with mere touches
Of hand embroidery for trimming. The
hand embroidery frequently is in cross
'titch-quaint little motifs in wash
,ble cotton or linen thread, which for
'ome reason or other seem more child
,sh than most OF the more convention
u or elaborate embroideries.
White linens embroidered in the
,hin. blues or perhaps in black blue
ind red and black or in red and blue
are charming. So are the ecru and
natural toned linens embroidered In
dmilar colorings. On the soft dull
blue linens or cottons cross-stitch in
iarker blue and white or in gayer col
'rs are effective, and little motifs in
brown and white are good, too, upon
the natural tones.
Pretty frocks of white crepe-a ma
sria, which is finding much favor for
iressy little frocks and does not muss
Is the other lingerie materials do-are
also embroidered lightly in cross
stitch and they, too, may be made up
with kimono sleeves, which because of
the crepon's softness do not have at
all the same effect as the blocked out
sleeves Of the linen models.

continues for four or Ave hours at a
time some days, and II is almost too
much for the curiosity Of the Six
teenth street people, who have noticed
It. A good many thought II must be
an invalid, or maybe an imbeeile, while
some suggested dogs, cats, or even
snakes.
Finally one day an enterprising
young resident Of sixteenth street, on
her way home, decided that she would
at least get a peep inside, so ac'
cordingly she went to the curb and
nearly lost her balance in the attempt
as the carriage went by, but the empty
seat only greeted her eye, and no
queer face or form.
He must be on the other side" she
said to herself. "Tll get him when he
comes back"
so when 1t returned she was there
ready, but not a sign OF life was to be
seen within.
Probably he has moved over" was
the young lady's conclusion, and she
pursued her way, but on reaching
home another girl was seen on the op-
posite curb, staring down the street
did you see that carriageT she
called I'm dying to know what's in
it,"
When next It came up, a girl moved
toward it from either curb and took a
look.
Empty!
The mystery is still mystery, and
will be until some clever person hnda
the solution. According to Sherlock
Holmes process Of elimination, II
there is no one inside, they must be
outside. Is 1t the coachman? Who
knows? sixteenth street would be

When Colonel Glider had been
called 10 town that morning on busi'
ness. leaving his daughter Floy and
the cook TO care for the house, he had
said to the girl before leaving:

An hour later, as Miss Floy reclined
in u rocker on the Yeranda, a burly
big tramp turned in at the gate. He
had a swagger to ais shoulders and
a bad face. AS a first military move
ment, the girl stood up. AS a second,
she assumed a very stern and un-
compromising expression.
Missy, could ! get a bite to eat at
the htchen?" was grufiy asked.

The man shrugged his shoulders
and looked around in a leering way.
He was about to observe that the
rich we're growing richer and the
poor poorer, and that there was no
longer a show for a hard working
man, when Miss Floyd retired within
the fortifcations to secure the first
advantage. The tramp took it that

When Sunday school was well under

Erocka for Summer.

Keeping ones summer frocks in con-
dition is hard work for the girl OF
small income. If laundry must be con-
sidered, wear simple gowns that may
be tubbed often.
To prevent wrinkling, choose soft
material rather than linens. A gown
can go for weeks without being put in
tub if it is pressed over cold starch
water.
The girl who perspires freely should
not wear coat suits. The one-piece
frock is cooler and stylish.
