CHIC T~RANSPARENCIES.
They Are Extensively Used On BIouses
For Smart Afternoon Affairs.

For Smart Afternoon Affairs.
Fashion has never been more seduc-
tive in the matter of blouses. In the
homes, at luncheons, ut tea, ut bridge,
the modern blouse plays Il great part.
It is transparent. Made in lace, in tulle.
in a thin crepe dc chine, the charm of
the blouse consists in it's being void Of
lining.
Not only is the neck exposed, but
even the shoulders and arms are seen
dimly through the thin silks, laces or
nets. The blouse then comes directly
upon the neck and arms without an
intervening fabric Of batiste or cam
brio or the band Of ribbon, once so
fashionable.
A well gowned recently OBJ
served ut a smart afternoon bridge
wore a pale yellow blouse in Il kind of
spongy crepe de chine, semi-transpar-
ent, opening low at the neck, clinging
to the firm, white shoulders and loose
about the body.

THE CANNON CRACKER.
BY MARY NJ. PARKS.


1t was a Chinese cracker,
All clad in glowing red,
Lay trembling in a wooden box
Beside our Tommy's bed.
Tomorrow" sighed the cracker,
Unless l swiftly fly
Long ere the shining u Is up.
l shall most surely die!'
Out of the box he clambered,
With many a glance Of dread,
Where Tommy. dreaming Of the
Fourth,
Lay tossing on his bed.
The cracker, trembling greatly.
Then hied him to a wood
And sought a dark and lonely dell
Where drops Of moisture stood
On the flowers and grass. He
chuckled,
"This is the place for me-"
And sat down on a cold. damp stone
Beside a messy tree.
The woodland creatures gathered
And gazed with startled eyes
And listened to his tale Of woe
With murmurs Of surprise.
Said the selfish, boastful cracker:
you see, l used my wits.
My brothers In hat fatal box
Will all be blown to bits,
"While I, because I reasoned
. And dared to act Per BANG!
A terrible explosion
Throughout the woodland rang.
1t was a frisky FREELY
!, Toyed with that dangling cue,
!, And into countless pieces
, The cannon cracker flew!

Ioll, an American, just at his
~ majority and endowed with
abundant good looks, was a
passenger on Il train which was max
ing its way ~leisurely between the
Rhine and the Incompatible Lake of
L'ucerne. All the afternoon since leav-
ing Basel he had been the sole occu-
pant OF a compartment, first class, and
he was altogether too young and too
Interested in humanity to enjoy the
exclusiveness of the railway journey.
So he took Il book from his bag and
tried to become interested in it. a
single paragraph convinced him that
he had chosen a form of distraction
which was destined to prove unsatis-
Factory. The passage ran as follows:
There are moments in the lives even
of those who are in apparent control
OF their mental and normal processes
during which the most inconceivable
vagaries come into being and the most
u~naccountable acts are performed. All
this occurs, too, without any absolute
surrender of personal integrity on the
part of the subject sc influenced"
Holt read no further. Rot of the
deadliest sort" he calculated.
a moment later the train stopped at
a little station in a deep valley, the
door Of the compartment was opened
wide, and there entered the most in
terestlng subject for speculation Holt
had seen for many a day. After she
had established herself as his vis-a-vis
with the charming little hustle and
furry incident to the sex Holt stole a
glance and at once made up his mind
that his tedium vas at an end. Even

Not English certainly. There wasn't
a trace of the telltale insularity which
is so characteristic of the British fe-
male away from home.
pardon me, but is that a Chicago

The problem was solved. The ac-
cent and the left nothing to
be imagined.
"Would you-would you let me have
it just for Il moment? It's positively
ages since I've seen a Chicago paper"
She grasped the politely rendered
journal with a sincerity which was as
naive as it was unconventional. Then,
without further speech, she proceeded
to read his paper.
For full ten minutes Holt made good
his opportunity to make n more eX

had arrived at the conclusion that she
was the most Enthusiastically admirable
bit Of femininity he had eve encoun'

She heard, and it banished the spell
cast by the engrossing paper. An ex.
quisite flush appeared in her cheeks
and she laughed a little and then grew
very sober.
How perfectly dreadful of me to de-
prive you of your paper." she said, re

Last Fourth of July I was only six.
a regular little chump.
I got into a dreadful fix.
You see, there was a stump
In our back yard, where l used to play
All sorts of things alone.
On Sundays twas a pulpit;
On week days twas a throne.
I was a preacher Sundays.
And the pickets on the fence
Were the people that l preached to.
But l didn't preach no sense.
On other days l was a king.
The pickets were my people.
l wore a golden paper row
All pointed like a steeple.
Well, Fourth of July my cousin Bob
Came from the great big town
With crackers, punk n fireworks
To do the Fourth up brown.
/ told him how ] was a king
He Is bigger, some than me
And he said we would have a siege:
The stump would be- my fort.
And he would try to blow it up.
He said twas lots Of sport.
So l got up upon the stump.
And the crackers in a row
He piled up thick around the foot.
You should have heard it blow!
The stump caught fire; l lost my head.
My father carried me to bed.
l stayed in bed q long. long time,
So b%andaged l couldn't see.
The crackers on which poll will dine
Are now good enough for me.
I'm big this year-you needn't smile
I'm not so big a chump,
And if we have another siege
Bob can sit on the stump.
