So. promptly at o'clock Brosseau
pulled a sleepy eyed caddy from his
comfortable bench and started the en-
durance match. He played all morn
ing and only stopped at noon for q
light lunch. The caddy was unable
TO continue, so new one was enlist
ed. This caddy quit about o'clock
in the afternoon and third caddy en-
rolled.
All this time Brosseau played golf
like his life depended on the outcome
of the game. At the end of six
rounds of eighteen holes each he had
total of 565 strokes, which is de-
clared to be unusually good for such
an endurance contest. Also three tired
caddies We're ready for home and bed
and Brosseau was "clear tuckered
out"
This is one of the most remark
able golf records l know Of" said
President Mcdonald OF the Edgewater
club, land I imagine it will be some
time before it is beaten Ordinarily
when man plays eighteen holes he
is pretty well fatigued. thirty-six
hole match is a strain and when you
go beyond that you're getting into the
Marathon class"
Furthman, who held the record pre-
vious to Brosseau's feat, declared that
he would get out before sunup some
day soon and beat the long distance
champion.

BABIES UNHURT IN 30 FOOT

New York.-When Mrs. Annie Da-
Wis left her home at S5 Thomas street
at noon to do her marketing she left
her two little girls, Mary, aged 4. and
Helen, aged 2 in the front room of
her flat on the third floor.
The window was open and the flat
was sitting warm. Seeking a breath
of fresh air, little Helen climbed onto
chair and thence through an open
window to the FIRE escape, as she had
seen her elders do. She was halfway
out on the escape before little Mary
saw her. With cry the elder child
ran toward the window to stop tho
little child.
Christian Fredaum of sos West

she burst into tears and took her ba-
by over to her fathers home. Her
father advised her not to Judge too
hastily and to go home and await de-

For day or so thereafter the
Shackleford cottage was permeated
with ice. The young man asked
questions and tried out every known
method of tender persuasion. At last
he got an answer and the incriminat-

Now. it was Malcolm's turn to be
indignant. He not only disclaimed all
knowledge of Florence and her date,
but took the card to Chief of Police
O'Neill. The card was placed under
a microscope and it was seen that an
old address, 12S North Park street.

MEDFORD PUTS BAN
ON TURKEY TROT

Medford. Ore. Sept 5.-No turkey
trot. no anglewOrm wiggle. no Texas
Tommy, no bunny hug; in brief none
of your fancy. painful in their vul-
gar suggestiveness, ragtime dances
for the sturdy farmers of the upper
Rogue river country. Such was the
ultimatum delivered to the bellies and
beaux of Medford's younger society
set at a recent house party attended
by a score or two of the village elite.
The gathering was a mixed affair
at first, and ranchers and country
lasses mingled harmoniously with the
townspeople in Virginia reels, lancers
and the old fashioned round dances.
Then came the turkey trot and 9TH
er up-to-date terpsichorean contor-
tions unknown to our puritan ances-
tors. The country folk drew aside
and lined the walls of the dance hall,
looking on as if at a vaudeville per-
formance.
After a few variations first intro
duced by the Apaches of the slums,
the swelling Indignation of the far
mers found words. Declaring that
they could not permit their families
to witness such exhibitions, they de-
manded the cakes that they had
brought for refreshments, back, and
left the city dancers alone in their
ragtime glory.
A few weeks before, at a public
dance at Trail, two society bellies
who had attempted ~ give an exhibi-
tion OF the turkey trot were ordered
off the floor by the manager, who
declared such exhibitions immoral
This time. however, the raggers were
in the majority and kept it up until
the wee sma' hours.

TAFFETA WITH BROWN FUR
Effective Combination Of Materials
That There is Little Doubt
Is to Be Popular.

A brown taffeta dress (by the way.
brown taffeta is certainly going to be
the right wear for the next few
months) is trimmed with brown fur.
The corsage is bloused into a narrow
taffeta belt quite simply, and around
the throat lies soft cream lace col
larette The skirt is also bloused
just above the knees. over broad
band Of fur. which rises a little be-
hind. and below it the taffeta is tied
into a careless. fiat sort of bow. which
hangs not quite in the middle. behind.
The sleeves are long and have a
touch OF creamy lace at the wrists.
With simply dressed hair. sable
toque and big fur coat, could any
thing be more desirable or charm
ing for winter weather than this lit
tie dress. when people heat their
homes so much that thin gowns are
necessary?

The fine stripes that are so fash.

costumes. especially in the vague
black and gray stripes that are now
worn. The skirt is cut simply with
an apron back and front fastened
down by large buttons OF the materi-
al: the coat is short and single or
double breasted without trimming, but
with the collar faced with gray vel

Very Graceful and Comfortable Are
the Lines That Have the In
uorsement of Paris.

: Lower in bust than ever are the
stays. and the sloping shoulders OF
the kimono sleeve and the graceful,
draped fichu are but tendencies which
pointed the way for this new figure.
Some OF the newest Partisan cor
sets are but mere sirdles above the
waist-quite frequently not reaching
TO the bust. The idea is to give one
long line shoulder 10 waist--a gently
sloning line with the bust as low as
possible.
But not below the waist is the cor
set growing shorter. Far from it!
Longer and still longer grow

how they can be worn with comfort.
But they can, for many of them are

Not below the waist line alone.
however. is the figure TO be youthful
but above il as well. The high.
lifted waist line. the low bust, the
slim, slopng shoulders-all this is
calculated TO keep madame from
showing the rayageS of time--to keep
her youthful as nossihle.
Very comfortable. indeed are these
new corsets. for if they hold the body
trim and tight below the waist line
they keep it supple and free above
tie waist, allowing ease and freedom
