PARIS, July 29.-After a careful
survey of most of the big houses |
have come to the conclusion that we
will see in the United States a num-
Der of freak importations this year.
The styles are Sin the making" and
most of the houses are just at present
sending out a number of very star
Ting ideas which will settle down
probably into a c~rystallized fashion
before the end of the season.
Madame Paquin is the most con-
sentative of any of the big designers,
and the costume / am sending you is
one of the most conservative l have
seen. Even she, however, has dis
carded the straight. narrow skirt.
This street costume of black broad
cloth is trimmed with black braid
and is put on fat. By the way.
both braid and embroidery will be
used much this season. 1 have seen
sealskin decorated with braiding and
lace with emDIoluery
The skirt of this dress is gathered
up in front, the shirring covered by
a straight short panel, and while it Is
not much wider about the bottom
than those of last season, this gath
ering gives it the appearance of be-
ing more SO. The back panel is made
of a fiat graduated box plat. the bot
tom being braided to match the coat.
The coat shows a number of new
wrinkles. both actually and meta
phorically speaking. 1t is cut with
an armhole that reaches to the waist
line. just above the waistline in the
back the coat is shirred into a round
a coat set well after the shirring is
| completed it must be cut very long
WASTED. The sleeve is very large and
flowing. gathe-ed in at the shoulders.
There is more fulness at the shoulder
OF the bodice than we have seen in a
long while, although some of the new
gowns are cut with a kimono droor
and the sleeve set in about half way
to the elbow. thus giving the designer
a chance to keep the becoming droop
of the shoulder line and combine II
with a long, tight sleeve.
This black costume is one of Ma
dame Paquin's best models. and she
insisted that she was doing me q
great favor to allow the artist to
sketch it before she had shown it to
her best customers.
The hat worn with this costume is
one of the new turbans, is turned
sharply up at the back and n side
and dropped on the other. Hats this
year will be trimmed even higher than
; they were last.

ANTICIPATING TROUBLE

There was ence a pendulum waiting
to be fixed on a new clock. It be-
gan to calculate how long it would
be before the big wheels were worn
out and its work was done, 1t would
be expected to tick night and day, so
many times a minute, sixty times
that every hour, and twenty-four
times that every day, and three hun
bred and sixty-five times that every
year. II was awful. Quite a row OF
figures, enough to stagger you. Mil
lions of ticks. 81 can never do it."
said the poor pendulum. But the
clockmaker encouraged it. You can
do n tick at a time" he said. .Oh,
yes" the pendulum could do that.
We'll" he said, that is all which will
be required of you" so the pendulum
went to work, steadily ticking, one
tick at a time and it is ticking yet,
quite cheerfully.-D. L. Moody.

Nickname for Boy Chum

Dear Miss Doom
Will you kindly favor me by publish
ing a few nicknames appropriate for a
boy l nave a chum whose name is
Clarence and / would like very much to
nickname him. Thanking you, l am.
N. T..
There is no point in a nickname
unless it fits the personality or some
characteristic of the person to whom
it is applied unless, of. course, it is a
corruption of his given name. "Clar-
ence'' does not lend itself readily to
this, so I advise you to pick out some
characteristic of your boy chum and
name him from that. If he is of
small stature Shorty will be ap-
propriate. Boys with auburn locks
do not resent the appellation Red"
"Chief' is suitable for a boy who is
commanding in appearance or is a
natural leader. One young boy of
my acquaintance is always called
Bunny" (why, I have not been able
to discovery, another whose surname
is "Hil!" answers to Bunk" an alb
breviation of Bunker" (refer to your
history, another to Polly" still an
other to Buster"
Nicknames are a sign of good fell
lowship, so, of course, never have
reference to anything of which the
one who is named might be sensitive.
The name you would give your chum
based upon an intimate knowledge of
his character would be far more APP
propriate than any / could suggest.

Friend Is a Public Speaker

Dear Miss Doom;
l know a very pretty, good hearted
girl, but she has one bad habit that Is
very annoying. She talks too loud, ana
when / take her anywhere everybody
looks and listens and 1t Is very empar-
1assing. she doesn't seem to notice IT,
but l wish I knew Of some way OF cur
ing her. Can you tell me?
ALFRED.
A good many girls have this un-
mannerly habit of talking and laugh
ing too loud in public. Some do II
to attract attention and others dc
1t without thinking how 1t appears
to others. 1t is probably just mgr
spirits in the girl you mention.
Have you tried remaining -apso-
lutely silent when she begins to talk
loud? When she finds that you are
not saying anything she may begin
to feel that something is wrong, ano
possibly she will become a little self
Conscious. The next step will be FOL
her I'd notice that other people are
watching her, and she may ask you
IL there is anything wrong with her
Z Then it will be time for you to re
mind her, gently, that everybody
probably listening to her remarks.
You might add, in half joking way
that when you like a girl as much al
you do her, you don't like very wei
to share her conversation with the
public-you want 1t for yourself
alone.

Use. of Firm Name

Dear MISS DOOus
I am about to ngage in the mail order
business and ] wish to use a firm name.
Will you kindly inform me how l may
file my name with the county clerk or
go about to do 1t and also must ! have a
lawyer? Please state the fees as pest
you can. ~ y u. .
This is a matter of technical legal
knowledge and as sooner or later,
you will require the services of a
lawyer to advise you and to prepare
whatever papers may be required in
order to accomplish your object, I
would consult an attorney in the
first instance. The fee that will
be charged will depend in great
measure upon the lawyer. The ideas
of the profession as to the value Of
their services are very elastic, some
charging more than others for the
same work or advice, but you doubt
less know or can have recommended
to you some lawyer of the requisite
knowledge who will be moderate in
his charges. Above all things don't
try to be your own lawyer in the
matter. You have doubtless heard
OF the trite but lin many instances)
true saying, "A man who is his own
lawyer has a fool for a client" A
few dollars paid to an attorney for
work that peculiarly within
his own province. with knowledge ac-
quired by years of study and consid-
Grafton Of statutes and decisions.
will often save to the client many
times the amount that would be lost
by trying to manage the business
without legal assistance. And law
yers, as a rule. are sincere and hon.
est with their clients, faithful to the
trusts reposed in them and moderate
in their charges. And besides, you
can make a bargain with the attor-
ney as to the amount of HIS fee, ETC..
before you actually employ him.

Not a Term of Endearment
Dear Miss Doom

If one person calls another person a
"blubber head' what is the exact mean
Ing of the word? I. Il.
The word is neither complimentary
nor in good taste. 1t refers to a per-
sons lack of brains. his density, his
inability to see through" things.
The adjective means "thick."S and is
derived from the noun which, ac-
cording to Webster, means 1.-The fat
of whales and other large marine
mammals from which oil is OBJ
tanned"

II PINEAPPLE

Now is the time.
t.Pines'' are plenty.
And pines are cheap.
1t is time to can them, too.
For canning they may be grated.
Sliced pine rivals pine III in cubes.
A food chopper or a grinder is used
by some.
The pine is ground for use in shcr-
bet or shortcake.
For sliced. canned pineapple peel
the slices and place in jars.
Preserves may be made by strain
ing ground pineapple through cheese
cloth. boiling a pound of sugar to
each pint of juice till it thickens.
For grated or ground canned pines
fill the jars with the grated or ground
pine. cook n hour and seal while

THE SAND BAG


A sand bag is an excellent substi-
tute for a hot water bottle. Any sort
of a bag will do, if the fabric is
close enough to prevent the sand from
sitting through. Fill the bag with
clean white sand. Heat in the oven
and use, just as you would a hot
water bottle.
It's a good scheme to have two such
bags. then one a be heating while
the other is in use.

New York, April 27.-'Packey' Nc
Farand, who was introduced last

Engand's lightweight champion,
Matt Wells, severe drubbing. The
men fought 10 rounds at the Garden

was a 10 to favorite, nobody
thought his task would be so easy.
Wells was a decided disappointment
and the Englishman's much-heralded
cleverness was not in evidence after
the opening round. Mcfarland was
at all stages of the bout cool and
collected, while Wells lost his head
early. Packey jabbed, swung and up
percnt his man at will from the open
ing OF the second round till the final
clang of the bell, and Wells made
frantic efforts to land a telling blow,
but Packey invariably made him miss
by clever side-stepping and ducking
Wells did not land 10 clean blows

kept busy trying to escape McFar-
