tense whisper. quivering with the
grand idea that had come to him with
Normie's remark.
With beaming face he explained his
scheme to his brother while their faith

and under their nimble fingers was
evolved In few moments a grotes
que figure that In their enthusiastic
eyes bore an excellent likeness to
Kris Kringle.
Softly the door to the bedroom was
opened. Herbie was fast asleep. The
figure was experimentally placed at
different points before the coal oil
lamp until its shadow rested upon the

eyes OF the sleeper on opening, would

The boys went happily to bed. Pa

and laid at its base the assortment OF
presents for the children. The bed.

the last and the two were silent as
they completed their work, rafting
the paper parcels and listening ex

A slight movement in the bed en-.

coverlet and the sound of small body

little room nestled again into the pil

But Herbie was not fully satisfied.
Grown folks would say most anything

had been too rudely shaken to be SO

and rubbing his tingling cheeks. He
stamped his feet before the stove in
which the hickory was burning with
such roar of comfortable warmth as
almost to drown the shrill whistling OF
the December wind outside the farm
house.
Hello, what's the matter with Her
bie?" The youngest OF his three boys,
a tiny misshapen child who had suf-
fered boyhood OF pain and deformity
since his nurse had dropped him in

shook his thin little frame.

sobbing broke forth unrestrainedly un-

Argument That Has Long been Made
seems Substantated by Excava-
tons in Crete.

Announcement that the excavations
in Crete for the University Of Penn
sylvania have brought to light frag-
ments of an ancient civilization Wnlcn
show that women of that island wore
corsets and hobble-skirts 5000 years
ago is interesting as matter OF
archaeology; but it is nothing new.
In fact. it has been developed long
since that even in the classic times
of Greece the graceful garment shown
in statuary and painting was con-
ventionality of art rather than a fash
ion of the time Woman, it seems,
has ever delighted in styles that
change with the seasons and with the
years. but return again in cycles that
appear to have had no beginning and
to approach to no end. She and her
clothing are the joint symbols OF the
truth that nothing is so immutable as
mutability.
1t is questionable, however, wheth-
er the women or the youth Of the
world ever subordinated their own
tastes to the whims and absurdities OF
foreign fashion makers. Was it ever
the vogue in Crete to wear the styles
of Babylon or of Thebes? AS some
bold hearts are striving in this coun-
try to develop an American fashion
opposed to that of Paris, that Is the

The Clocks We Wear.

The three marks on the back OF q
glove and the clocks on the stocking
are due practically to the same cir
cumstance. The glove marks CORE
spond to the fourchette pieces be-
tween the fingers, and in other days
these pieces we're continued along the
back of the hand, braid being used to
conceal the seams. A somewhat SIM
liar origin is assigned to the orna-
mental clock on the stockings. In the
days when stockings were made or
cloth, the seams occurred where the
clocks do now, the ornamentation then
being used to conceal the seams. The
useless little bow in the leather band
lining mans hat is the survival or
the time when hat was made by Ia
king a piece Of leather, boring two
holes through it and drawing it up
with a piece of string.-HarpeTs
