John G. King is a native of the
Show-Me State, having been born in
Kansas City, Nov. 13, 1875. He first
began to make a noise like a baseball
player some twenty years ago, when
he was in the lineup of Kansas CITY
independent and semi-profess1onaA
teams. In 1896 he was given a try
out by the st. LOUIS NaLlOHdISs anu
had a narrow escape from being &C
cepted, but was finally discarded as
too young in years and light in weight.
After a brief experience at Rockford,
ILL.,, King returned to Kansas City to
play with the semi-pro clubs. At that
period of his budding career John oc-
casionalIy entertained /; misconcept1on
that he could pitch, and in 1899 Hous-
ton, Tex, gave him a trial in the box.
He was not a brilliant success as
twir1er, but the next year St Joe gave
him a chance to show what he could
do behind the bat, and right there
Jawn made good. He swatted over
800 and was the star catcher of the
Western League. The Chicago Cubs
nabbed him the next year, and he be-
came the catching mainstay of the
great Chance machine. In 1909 Gin
cinnad offered King a berth as man
ager, but Murphy wouldn't let him ac-
cept, so John refused to play in Muir
phys yard that year. He returned to
the fold in 1910, was sent to Boston
in 1911, and went to Chimney in 1912.

girdle is boned at the ends and sides.
1t is to be worn with the fastening at
the back, front or sides, at the pleas
ure of the wearer.
Figure 2 is similar girdle in Q
narrower and heavier ribbon. 1t Is q
gay Roman striped affair to be worn
with cloth or other afternoon gowns
and with street dresses. Its buckle
is smaller and an oval form. The end
Is turned under, forming three-inch
loop. Very little ribbon is required
for this, about three-quarters of yard
for the average waist.
One of the prettiest designs is pio-
tured in Figure 3. 1t Is a plain girdle
of black satin ribbon having two ends
finished with plaid ribbon. 1t Is boned
at the gathered ends and fastened
with hooks and eyes. The plaid rib
bon is machine stitched to the end
with white silk thread.
The plaid sash in Figure A is one Of
the smartest of the new designs. The
buckle at the waist is made Of silk In
the prevailing color Of the plaid and
a second smaller buckle fastens the
hanging loop and end together.
A more expensive ribbon is used for
the next model than appears in any
Of the others. In Figure silk and
velvet is shown having dark green
ground in satin with roses In subdued
colors and foliage in blurred outlines
covering the surface. The girdle 10

are usuelly finished with tiny craVat
bow of velvet or silk ribbon. Buttons,
too, play a part in their makeup.
Such collars should be boned at the
sides and back. They fasten either
with tiny hooks and eyes or beauty
pins.
Very elegant little cravats Of velvet
ribbon serve as background for me-
dallions Of hand-crocheted lace. These
are worn by all the grown-ups, young
or old, and make most acceptable
Christmas gifts. The medallions are
in the Irish lace patterns and very dur
able. They will outwear the bit Of vel
vet, and stand laundering week In and
out. The same medallions may be
tackled to cravats of different colors
from time to time. Bright green vel
vet ribbon, black and also vivid red
are favorite just now.
Small fiat cravat bows Of silk are
liked. They serve as background
for the new brooches and bar pins in
novelty jewelry,
Neckwear will help out the Christ
mas shopper and any one who has
time to make up these attractive fin
ishing touches to the toilette at home
will be able to gladen many hearts at

There was no time for them to pro-

Kendall and Kerr were closeted, and
closed the door quietly after him.
The situation was not without its
embarrassment. Taking into consider
alton everything which had happened
in the last month, there was little won

dition to that, Gloria felt as If she
had just been figuratively thrown at

to produce these neck-pieces at a trihe

For wear with either dresses or
coats the sailor collar with fischu ends
is made In the designs pictured here.
Plain fine net is liked for edging the
all-over lace. 1t is used as fat bind

of fine cord Of silk make an elegant
finish at the top of the binding.
Little buttons, nearly always cover
ed with silk, are liked on neckwear
and they appear in all the designs.
Two jabots with silk turnover col
lars are handsome designs for older
women. These collars are boned at
the sides and often adorned with small
sparkling rhinestone buttons or silk
covered buttons matching the collar.
Laces and nets are used for the jabots
and when very sheer the plaitings are
made double-that is, one falling over
another, as shown in the picture.
High, close-f1tting collars of net and
