OUR TABLOID CLASSIC-NO. II.
Cicero WAS the first Roman who
literally talked himself Co the top.
He could crate in circles around
his contemporaries i'm the Roman
forum and make them so dizzy
with his rotary rhetoric that they
were glad To sit down and give him
full possession Of the floor. Many
men i'm later periods have done the
same thing but, unlike Cicero, they
have not always lasted.
The admiration OF oratory was,
we may say. no greater in CicerO's
day than at the present time. The
man today who can get up and
reel off a spiel full of rounded pc
riOdS and hot air il a hero no less
than he who gOeth forth TO battle
and drives the enemy across the
border. The pOpulace sits with
open mouth wonder and when the
orator has finished with a great
flourish. which may be Iikened to
"a Garrison finish, goes away shak-
ing its head i'm utter amaZemCnt,
while the orator chuckles i'm his
sleeve at having put one over on
his fellow citizens.
Still, there was something more
TO Cicero than OratOry. He had
the goods TO deliver, which is more
than can be said of many modern
orators. whose efforts may be SYM
bolized by the collar on the schOOn-
err, which once blown off yanishes
forever.

Well. suppose they do offer our Sc

Statesmen Real

By Fred c. Kelly

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Associate
Justice William r. Day of the United
States supreme court weighs scarce
" more than a hundred pounds, but
has the physical courage of a big.
shaggy-maned lion. In the summer.
when he goes fishing, he will row
boat across troubled waters when
everybody else is afraid 20 venture
out, and. he would just as soon sass
a 24O-pOund conductor as not.
Some time ago Justice Day was
iourneying To his summer home in
Michigan, accompanied by his little
grandson, four or five years old. He
did not buy any ticket for the little
boy The conductor met the justice
back in the smoking department
Who's going to pay for that boy
in your sectiOn2" inquired the ticket
taker.
Nobody" replied Day. THAT boy
is considerably too young TO require
a ticket
He's a lot over six years Old re-
torted the conductor. You'll have to
pay at least half fare for him"
I'll not do any such thing" re-
piled Day Indignantly. "and kindly
do not contradict me again"
But. l tell you"
Il say don't contradict me-" cut in
Day, ClenChing his fist. And the con-
ductor, built like a piano mover, went
on, for. small as Day is. he is not a
man that one likes 10 contradict
Then Day returned 10 his seat and
made a startling discovery. His lit
tie grandson was in another part of
the car. and in his seat was a big
hulk of a farm boy about IA years
old. Ii was this husky boy that the
conductor insisted was more than six
years old when Day had warned him
not TO contradict.

Is StASON FUR BEAUTY
FEMININE FlNERY NEVER so
LUXURIOUS AS NOW.
Showing of Imported Frocks by One
New York House Reveals the Ex.
travagance That Is to Be
Marked.

The shops are all displaying FEM
lining fnery calculated to arouse the
enthusiasm even of the most indlfer-
ent observer, but one house on lower
Broadway had on view last week q
collection of imported frocks which
struck the high note Of the season
with regard to extravaganza. Else
where were found models as beautiful
but nowhere else were so many su
perb creations shown in one group.
Every famous Frenr. dressmake'
was represented by th F.. best Of his o:
her productions, and looking over tn
scores of elaborate models and reac
ing the price Labels, one could no
help exclaiming over the extrava
gance which can justify shrew'
buyer in catering after this fashIo
to American women. The only COL
clusion is that American purses mus
be full and American husbands ant
fathers must be very indulgent.
But if this is to be season OF uD
usual extravaganza it is also to b.
a season of exceptionally beautiful
clothes. This fact has been eviden
since the first autumn models begal
to drift across the seas, and the col
lection of frocks referred to above EN-
phasized it, underscored it, put ex
clamation marks after it.
After a general survey Of the ex
hibit, one was left with a dazed i'm
preston as Of riot Of velvets ano
furs, chiffons and laces, wonderful
cleaning embroideries and supple silk
er stuffs in lines of indescribable
beauty. But closer study revealed
the unity in variety and resolved the
bewildering eonfections into their com
ponent parts.

MORE BAGS ARE POPULAR
Especially In Black, 20 Match the
Present Taste in Color, They Are
In Great Demand.

When a buyer who has just returned
from Europe was asked what was the
most popular bag, he said without hes
itation, "Moire, particularly black. y
With the demand for black dresses
and black millinery it naturally fol-
lows that the bags should also be
black and that the remarkable popu-
larity of moire should extend to these
dainty accessories
Demand for moire silk has caused a
shortage in the markets, 1t Is said,
and, although the looms of some Of
the mills are running overtime, they
cannot supply the demand.
Shapes Of bags are original and
unique. The mountngs Of many OF
them are Of metal, while others are
drawn in by a heavy cord or narrow
mcire ribbon. Hand-embroidered flow
ers are frequently used to brighten
the black bags, or small designs are
wrought in colored beads.

ing the body Of the case and fold
over flap, and the other two pieces
the sides. After the material has
been cut out, 1t should be lined and
then sewn together, the seams being
hidden with fine silk cord which is
carried round the edge of the flap.
This flap can either be made to fasten
with small buttons and buttonholes, or
two snap fasteners, cut possibly from
an old kid glove, can be used. A
long loop of ribbon (the ends Of which
are sewn in on either side OF the
case) is provided by which it may
be carried slung upon the wrist.
The colors of the materials are a
matter of choice, but dark green silk
lined with soft silk Of lighter shade
of the same color, and ribbon and
cord of an old gold color, would be a
strikingly pretty and effective combi-
nation.

MANY NOVELTIES FOR FALL
Wonderful Selection From Which the
Woman Of Fashion May Pick
Her Favorite.

Milady of fashion who is seeking for
novelties in fall fabrics will have a
wonderful selection to choose from
this year. The soft colors which blend
so we'll in furs show to special advan-
tage in the new materials. Kittens
ear cloth, soft, velvety material, just
what the name implies, is a triumph
indeed of the weaver's art. Drap de
nymphe, cloth fabric with the luster
and drape of charmeuse, chenille
cloth which is rich. soft and distinct
i've, AID peluche de laine bid fair to
be some of the most used materials OF
the season.
The demand for soft clinging folds
and draperies this year has taxed the
manufacturers skill to the greatest de-
gree. The result from the loom is a
marvel of art, even the stiff brocade
of silver and gold, praised by our an
cestress Of old, has been transformed
under the deft finger of the weaver in.
to a pliable material with softness
that falls and drapes at the modiste's
will. The brocade of this fall is OF a
royal richness, with a riot of color and
fanciful designs. One beautiful design
was woven of gold and claret, the warp
being of one and the woof Of the
other. Over the background was bro
caded a design in plain claret. The
complete effec. was an impression of
yelled light.

To strenothen Silk Stockings.

To save silk stockings, first buy
them large, almost full size larger
than you may wear in cotton or Isle
stocking, next darn loosely the heel
and toe, and places Tor garter catches,
all before wearing the stockings. This
prevents holes from appearing in
heel and toe and the knee from having

will last two or three times longer
than when these precautions are not
taken.
