SMALL COATS OF BROCADE
Fashions, With Trimmings of Odds
and Ends of Fur.

The winter fashions are getting
more and more alluring, and very

with their cutaway fronts and high

descriptions, display an edging or
trimming Of fur, skunk, apparently, be-
ing first favorite. Many of us have
been boarding short lengths of broche
velvet or satin, and rejoice that the
present vogue gives us an opportunity
to utilizing them. If the length be not
quite sufficient for a blouse we are
permitted to call into service plain
satin for its successful completion, as
a combination of plain and fancy fab
RIGS is a fashionable alliance this sea-

Dry velours is carrying all before
it, and in the finest quality is an ideal
fabric for princess tailored robes as

more severe the design the more sue

supply the requisite trimming.

RIMGWORM ON CHILD'S FACE

Stratford, Iowa.-"Three years ago

ringworm on the face. First II was In
small red spots which had rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red dots and
then they got bigger. about the size
of birds egg. They had a white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-
fered terrible itching and burning, so
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
full He was cross when he had them.
We used several bottles Of liniment,
but nothing helped.

GRACE'S SACRIFICE
Girl Cashier Starts Misguided Or
flee Boy on Street Called
Straight.
BY FRANK FlLSON.

Fifty dollars missing! Grace Boyce,
cashier and secretary Of the downtown
office of the Allen Manufacturing COM
pany. stood staring in a dazed way
into the money drawer of the high
screened desk that was her post Of
duty.
All her pride and esteem went down
IN kind of crash at this, the first
blow in her pleasant business career
Never before during her two years
service with the company had her
thing about it was that she could not
explain the circumstance.
She had tailed off her cash balance
at noon the day previous. Then she
had gone to the bank. She had re-
turned and filled the pay envelopes for
the factory hands. At four o'clock, as
was usual, young Alden Morris, son of
the president of the company, had ar
rived to take the pay roll to the fac
tory in his automobile.
Grace very distinctly remembered
that incident. A slight flush tinged
her fair cheeks as she thought of 1t.
Whenever the young man visited the
Office life seemed to brighten up. Then
after the days work Grace had placed
the cash box in the safe and had gone
over the books.
81 never let the handbag out of my
sight from the bank to the Office" she
reflected. "Then l placed It for a mo-
ment on Jerry's desk while l put my
wraps away. Oh, yes, l remember
the bag snapped open. But it was
only a minute, and l gathered it up
and took it into the cage with me-"
Because Of the minute she tabulated
Grace mechanically walked over to the
little desk that was the post of the
office boy, Jerry Lang. She stood
racking her brain anew, trying to fig
ure things out Suddenly she gave a
start, leaned over. and from the tiny
ink tray on the desk took up long,
thick pin.
"A bank PIN" she fluttered-"not
another in the tray like it, and-oh,
dear, I'm afraid / see it ALL"
Grace made spasmodic dive for

RHINESTONES MUCH IN FAVOR
Really There Is No More Effective
Trimming for the Smart Afternoon
or Evening Dress.

Rhinestone trimmings are promi-
nent for evening wear, especially in
the simple outlining form suitable for
edging tunics, necks. sleeves and edg-
ing elaborate scarfs of chiffon or
mousseline. Rhinestones in combina-
ton with jet are formed into hand
some floral and scroll effects. Rhine
stone and pearl slides and ornaments
are used for catching up draperies.
Narrow Chiffon pink rosebud trim
mings continue to be fashionable. Fur
bands in skunk, mole. fox, ermine and
sable continue to be much used for
trimmings. Fur is often used in COM
bination with metal with excellent
effect. An elaborate evening wrap or
gown may be trimmed with a light
weight metal band outlined with mar
row strip OF fur.

Fastening From Treat Like
That

Clayton B. Templer, one OF the
Oldest members Of the Delaware
County Bar association, had the scare
of his life recently. Mr.. Templer owns
a number of tenant houses in Muncie.
He was seeking John Proctor, stage
carpenter for a local theater, to hire
him TO do some repair work on one of
the houses.
Just go to the stage door in the
alley, pull it back and go inside. He
is in there" Templer was told when
he inquired at the theater for Proctor.
Templer, following instructions,
opened the stage door to enter. A
black mustached man, swarthy of
feature and glistening of teeth, met
him, shouting: VILLAIN, you shall
pay dearly for this! Die the death of
a dog, you hound!"
Not mel" Templer exclaimed, as
he ran at jack rabbit speed down the
alley to the nearest policeman.
The policeman investigated and
found that just as Templer entered
the stage door a "ten-twent'-thirt'
melodrama was being rehearsed for
that evenings performance and that

contrite Office boy declared she had
saved him from an abyss and he
would be "true blue!"
Jerry went back to his desk. Grace
with a sigh drew a check against her
little savings account, thought OF poor
Mrs Lang, and hoped she was acting
for the best. She was little sur
prised when Young Mr.. Norris en-
tered the office q few minutes later.
They chatted for awhile. Then Grace
asked him to give Jerry a place at
the factory
Two months went by. Every Sat
urday evening Jerry called upon Grace
at her boarding house. On each occa-
sion he had humbly offered her a dol
lar of his salary, which she declined
TO take.

finely as you have started" she en-
couraged him.
"How do you know that am, Miss
Boyer" he asked
"Mr. Morris tells me about you
whenever he comes to the Office" ex-
planned Grace.
He's good as gold, he is" stated
Jerry enthusiastically. "He seems
| just glad to advise me and show me
how to do things. He advanced me
last week. And he always speaks of
you, Miss Boyce, as gentle like and in
terested," and Grace had to turn away
her head to hide the hot, quick bushes
that came to her face.
The last day of the fiscal year let
ter was handed to Grace by the Office
manager. 1t was from the president
of the company, and it inclosed a
check for two hundred dollars-'for
| faithful services" the letter read, "the
amount to be duplicated as an advance
in salary for the coming year"
Grace was regarding it, dreaming
over what the unexpected windfall
would mean to her, when a smiling
face pressed close to the netted wire.

Morris "You deserve it, Miss Boyce."

stepping into the cage.
