PRESENT FOR ENGAGED GIRL
An Apron to Slip on When Bride Does
Houscwork Is Always Ac-
ceptable.

A useful and attractive gift for an
engaged girl Is an apron that may
be slipped on when the bride does
Homework, and wishes to keep pre-
sentable. Just this type Of apron is
hard to buy, SO is doubly acceptable.
Probably the most useful kind is q
studio apron, such as Is used by the
woman artist. Get good pattern
with sleeves reaching to the wrists
and cut without too much fullness.
Choose pink Bingham of fine quality
or clear black and white stripe,
which always washes we'll.
For the former trim the neck
which should be cut slightly square
and sleeves with a two-inch insertion
Of white embroidery, and fasten at
the back with white pearl buttons.
The black and white. apron may be
trimmed with black bias bands, or
with white cotton bands embroidered
in cross-s.itch design In black.
A somewhat dressier apron, though
not SO useful for protection, is made
like waitress apron, with straps
over the shoulders. A pretty effect
is had with ecru or pale pink percale.
the straps embroidered in cross
stitch band that is carried on each
side to the bottom of the apron. The
hem at bottom and sides is finished
with a row Of two-chain stitch-bands.
Use several tones of brown or red
mercerized cotton on the ecru apron,
and white or black on the pink one.

poker party at his roadhouse in West
Creek, near this city, the other night
was decided success.
All those present held good hands.
In fact, such lot of good poker hands
being dealt at the same time was al
most unheard of by most of the play
ers. Moreover, they noticed that two
players seemed to have a happy fac
ulty of holding the best hands when
there were many "big" hands dealt.
This fact might not have been COM

noticed another popularity of the
game.
One of the lucky" players had
opened pot and drawn three cards.
Phillips drew one card and filled a
flush. He bet half of his pile of chips
and, to his CONSERVATION, was raised
by the lucky stranger.
Lets see what you've got" said
Phillips, seeing" the raise.
-Four aces" said the lucky" play
er, exhibiting his hand.
But that was not the most remark

aces were hearts.

the table, smashed the chandeliers
and threw a cut glass pitcher through
small buffet.
Edward Brooks, horse trader, was
disappearing through smashed win
dow when Phillips drew revolver
and fired at him. Brooks right leg
was broken. Several revolvers were
drawn and five men were wounded be-
fore the fight finally was concluded.
Phillips made his way home, threat
ening to kill anybody who tried to
stop him. He gave himself up half an
hour later, however, when the sheriff
reached there from Kankakee.

made you forget that he was one of
the most desperate bank robbers ever
dealt with by the New York police.
He was closely associated with all of

made him in great demand as a part

Strange Facts About Animals.

There are many strange facts about
animals which no one has ever seemed
able to understand.
A fly, for instance, will crawl to the
top Of a window pane, fly back to the
bottom, and crawl up again. Hardly
ever does it fly up and crawl down.
Hens scratch for food always with the
sun behind them, so that its rays will
reflect on the tiny particles. Yet a
blind hen, for whom this reason does
not hold, always manages to get the
sun behind her when she scratches.
Cats hardly ever lie with their feet
to the fire. In most cases they lie in
stead with their left side turned to-
wards it. Dogs, however, invariably
lie with their forepaws to the IRE. A
mouse overlooks a perfectly safe food
supply to enjoy the perilous pleasures
of an unlimited store.
Why does a dog always turn round
two or three times before he lies
down? It is because his remote an
cestors had to scratch around in the
leaves or long grass for a bed before
they could find a convenient place in
which to lie.

Rome, Ga.--When you push a per

and then get beating for 1t you have
no legal recourse in Georgia. This ia
the status as a result of court action
brought here by M. H. Floyd, a promt

pushed the sixteen year old daughter
of Thomas Parker from the end Of a
church seat and to have sent her
sprawling into the aisle. Parker whip

Floyd carried the matter to the
courts, and Judge Breach refused to
bind over the irate father for assault

Two New Ideas.

If you wish to give your lingerie
frock the very latest whim OF the fash
ion realm add narrow bands of brown
fur. These bands of fur edging foun-
ces and drapery of the most transpa-
rent and filmy net and chiffon dresses
were one Of the NEST marked features
of the drag race at Auteuil. It is one
Of those curious combinations in
which the French revel, but at the
same time It is effective.
Another popular fancy is the scarf
of maline attached to the gown on one
shoulder and thrown around the figure
in artistic abandon. In fact, maline
will be found surprisingly useful in re-
freshing slightly worn gowns, whether
used as scarf, neck ruche, sash or fin
ishing the sleeves. There is now a
waterproof maline on the market
which neither the dampness Of the
shore nor an unexpected shower can

Barber Shops In China.

Since the Chinese revolution a.
great many Chinese have had their
cues cut of, and this has led to the
opening of large number of barber
shops throughout the far east whert
ever Chinese are located, says an e17

men Of Singapore, anticipating this.
imported large number of American
barber chairs, and they are now UNI
able to get supplies quickly enough.
It has also been learned that the Chi
