used to play cards, but being poor.
they never had much money to lose,
and so could never do much plunging.
Hence the derisive term "piker" appli-
cable to the merely pettifogging gam
bier A recent writer has another
derivation. He says: I'm the early
days men from Pike county, Missouri,
and Pike County, Illinois, went all
through the West. They were all
good men. In fact, they were such
a fine lot that when any crooks would
want to represent themselves as hon
est men they would say they were
from Pike. As q result of this all
the bad mon In the West claimed
to be from our section, and in that
way Pike got bad name. So when
the Westerners suspected Z man Of
being crooked. they'd say: Look out
for him. he's Piker.'" This sounds
somewhat apocryphal. however. There
was q General Pike who fell in tho
United States attack upon Toronto
in 1913, who traced the Mississippi
to its source. and Also discovered
Pixies peak in the Rockies during ex-
ploring surveys conducted for the
United States government after the
Louisiana purchase in 1804.5. Pre-
sumably the counties above referred
to were named after him. and possibly
there 10 some connection between
him and the slang term in question.

Mr.. Ramsdale looked up and half
smiled at the pretty dark face looking
at his wife. Both women nodded and
the conductor called: "All aboard"
Mr.. Ramsdale hurriedly kissed his
! wife and swung on the step. His
wife waved her hand and as she

Mr.. Ramsdale entered the sleeping
car behind the porter and his first
glance was towards the girl that his
wife had recognized.
She was dressed entirely in black.

The train pulled out and the two
went to dinner together. When they
were at table he was rather sur
prised that she did not remove her
gloves. but he was SO deep in his flirt-
alton that he made no remark.
The next day was spent by the two
together in pleasant converse. She
received several kilograms at Mem
phis the next day. One of them was
from his wife and she showed 1t to
him. 1t was as follows:
My husband is on the train. Will you

to a well-dressed negro standing be-

An April Costume Dance

Dear Miss Doom:
A club of girls will give a dance
the latter part of April 1t is to be
informal, with admission by invita-
ton. About twenty couples rang
ing in age from eighteen to twenty
one will be present. Can you sug-
gest a novel and original dancer
We have already given a barn
dance and are tired of the regular
dances. We would like something
in which we could costume, Any
suggestions you may offer will pe
more than appreciated.
Also, how are the nails mani
cured? Thanking you once more.
STEADY READER.
Japanese parties are always sue
cessful, perhaps because the girls
look so well in the dainty, flowing
costumes.
Carry out the Japanese idea in
the decorations of the room, using
umbrellas, fans, clusters of cherry
and wistaria blossoms, and Japa-
nese lanterns for lighting. Ask all
of the feminine guests-and the
men, too, only they'll probably balk,
preferring to come in regulation
dress-to wear Japanese costumes,
which can easily be fashioned at
home. The members of the club
might wear pink and blue effects.

obs. or vice versa. The hair could
be dressed pompadour style, with
pink cherry blossoms clustered over
the ears, or little japanese fans
stuck in the sides of the knot.
You might like an indoor moon
light dance For this affair the
lights are covered with thin white
silk, which gives a moonlight sheen
to the room. Fill the corners OF the
room with palms, and let the girls
wear white Grecian costumes, with
. garlands in their hair. This would
be very pretty, as well as unusual.

persons will cut them out:
Begin by filing the nails In any
