There are so many brunettes and

The Japanese administration in

A baseball bat was used by John
Kearney of West Philadelphia to sub
due burglar who attacked him in the
cellar of his home. After pummeling
the intruder until he howled for mercy
Kearney turned him over to the po-
lice
Kearney awakened before daylight
and smelIed gas. After careful daylight
examination of the rooms OF the first
floor, he made his way to the cellar.
At the bottom of the stairs man
jumped on Kearney's shoulders and a
struggle followed Jars of raspberry
jam, tomatoes. pickles. and other pre-
serves were smashed during the COM
bat At last one of Kearney's hands
closed on a baseball bat as the two
men rolled about the floor.
Wrenching himself loose, he swung
the bat against the burglars head and
repeated the operation until the man
cried enough"

New Small Hats

A little very close-ftting hat is more
like the old porkpie shape and has the
ustal cluster of pompons, but very
small, and set on the outside of the
brim, not above it. Another more be-
coming shape is that of twisted tur-
ban in effect, but higher in the crown
than those that were in vogue not so
long ago. A third, prettiest of all, is
just like fat strawberry basket, and
appears at first sight to be of drab
straw, but proves to be woven of
strips of cloth. This is trimmed with
black cloth cherries

Flarinq Cuffs.

A noticeable feature of the newest
sleeves is their flaring cuffs. On
blouses of transparent materials the
cuffs are very gauzy, while on after
noon gowns of faille or serge the far
ing cuffs are lined with a bright con-
trasting color. The same color is then
introduced on vest, collar and girdle.
The flaring cuff truly adds grace and
attractiveness to the hand over which
it flares.

Easily Constructed Little contrivance

of the Occupation.

In the first place, a small cardboard
box, into which the ball of wool will
fit comfortably, must be procured and
a small round hole made in one side
through which the wool may be drawn
off. Then small bag is made to
hold the box and in one side of the

the cardboard box.
To either side of the bag ribbon
strings are sewn and the ends of
these strings o. gecurely tied to a
bangle. The bangle may be slipped
on to the wrist and the bag allowed
to hang downwards in the manner
shown in diagram A. on the right of

strengthening Coast pefenses.

All the coast forts of the United
States are being equipped with new
towers that resemble small light
houses. Battery commanders win use
these towers for observation purposes,
because they overlook the guns and

which are pleasing from an archi-
tectural standpoint, are constructed of
