HOW TO ENTERTAIN A
 YOUNG MAN CALLER

Tt lies not in our pow'r to love or
 hate,
 For will in us is overraal'd by fate
 sewalI you please give me a set of rules for entertaining q young man caHer?''
 This is question asked of me con tirual1y by young girls. They usually explain that when a young man calls once or twice he does not continue coming. They are quite sure that tho reason is he does not find them enter taining.
 Some admit they are poor conversa- tionaIists When a. young man is in their parlor, they declare. they find themselves at a loss just what to say and how to say it, and on what sub- ject to begin.
 In the first place, give him a. com fortable chair. If he is a very tall man, don't seat him in the tiny little rocker you find so cornfortabIel where his knees will be parallel with his chest, making him instantly feel out of sorts with you and the rest of the world. If, on the contrary, he is short in stature, don't place for him a high chair, where his feet dangle an inch or So above the floor. It would scarce 1y take a cap and a bell to make him feel like a dunce. tie will cut short his call quickly, to get out of his dis coanf1ture
 No man expects girl to talk like g book. There is no set of rules on this subject. Every girl must be her own sweet, natural self. My dears. let me give you this wee bit of advice: Don't start in hammer and tongs to talk of something. anything your thoughts may wildly grasp at, as soon as he has seated himself as though your very life depended upon your brisk conver- satioh. Give him an opportunity to make some remarks after the first words Of greeting are over. That is a

COL0IEUI VELVET WRAPs.

Outer garments for evening wear are noted for their unusual colorings. IL is considered the smart thing, however. for the cape or coat to correspond with the tone of the froelx over which 1t IS worn For instance. the pink and cream model shown here is accompa- nied by a cape Of American beauty panne velvet lined with pink satin The cape is of the spanish cavalier type. made with a Directotre collar and straps that cross at the front If de- sired. the straps may be carried to the back of the cape, where they are drawn through an opening at each side and fastened on the outside in sash erect- To make the cape requires 9 a yards of 66-inch material and 4 yards of 8e inch satin for the lining.
 The material is laid open and the pattern arranged upon 1t If the cape is desired in shorter lengths it may be cut off as indicated Provision Is also made for emitting the sleeves and long sash.
 The first step in making Is to sew the front and sash section to. cape as notched- Now slash back of cape on line of small %" perforations. The edges Of these incisions may be bound with satin or finished in any other way for the sash to pass through. Sew the rever to the front as indicated. then add collar to the neck edge
 If desired with sleeve extension. bring corresponding single large -Os and triple small "o's perforations to- gether and stitch
 s Frequently the revers are overlaid with lace or stitched with an elegant braid in decorative design.

rival of the police, which by the way, is one of the most dramatic moments in the play. The part of Alice Gard- ner is indeed cleverly portrayed by Rosely Barkey assisted by Leo Mc- Hlrop as Teddy the Kid" Both Miss Barkey and MT. McElroy are quite well known In the Alumni Dramas clubs from former productions, MT. Joe, Hatch, expert cracksman is shown to advantage by Clarence Lister. Hi earnestness and sincerity of actlng are apparent in every line. James Jensea4 makes superb gentleman burglar, while MT. Weiss, as chief of police. is most expert in the handling Of his crew gun and incidentally his pris- oners. All in all the members Of the club handle this clever comedy in a very unamateurish manner.

FINDING A FATHER
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Bobby was lost. 1t is very hard to
be lost when you are only five years
old and have gone out into the world
to find father.
He had wandered away from the
little apartment uptown, and, having
found the street, had run on and on.
past big. friendly policemen, and hos
tile districts where bigger boys lay
In wait for five-year-olds. Then he
had come into place of tagicabs and
street cars, and how he crossed that
he never knew But finally he was in
a crowded street, and-and he hadn't
found father yet.
He held the scrap of paper which
was to be talisman in his hand He
had taken that from mothers desk
when she was in the other room. He
knew that this would help him to find
a father such as he had always
wanted.
Suddenly Bobby's legs gave out. He
was tired and bewildered by the rush
of traffic and the busy pedestrians,
who did not seem to have time to look
where they were going. Several times
he had been swept into doorways,
and once he had been knocked down,
and it required all his manliness not
to cry. If he had not been looking
