America on the 18th Of August and

The first thing needed was a wig. I
sailed forth to get one, having just
an hour before the train on which l
was to leave would start. This gave
me about twenty minutes to procure
a hair head covering. l found a place
where such things were sold, but un-
fortunately the only wig they had
that would fit my head was Of an
auburn hue. There was no other place

RIBBONS MUCH IN VOGUE.
Most Popular Used This Winter on
Sashes, Girdies and Hats.

Ribbons are the most popular trim
ming this season. They are used for
sashes. girdles and smart bows on
hats.
Moires undoubtedly take the lead.
Narrow width ribbons are being much
used. Picot edges are much seen, with
threads OF steel or silver interviewer
through them. There is a decidedly
old fashioned appearance to these rib
bons. especially the narrow figured
picots. Steel and silver effects are
smarter than gold at present.
For dress hats the ribbons are un-
usually beautiful. A hat trimmed with
just a ribbon bow may be far from
the simple, inexpensive affair 1t sounds.
There are wonderful tapestry effects,
exquisite brocades In silver or steel
and velvet and satin combinations of
the most exquisite colorlngs. Roman
stripes and plaids in sax and white,
green and white. gold and white and
navy and white are tremendously pop
ular.

Boy Scouts Do Good.

The Boy Scouts OF America of Bos-
ton, Ga. were recently of great serv-
ice to their community. After trying
several plans to obtain proper sanitary
means of having the garbage and rub
bish taken up from the streets and
after meeting each time with failure
the citizens Of the town called on the
scouts for aid. The scouts, under Scout
master r. ID. MacAlpine, put the prob
lem before the ladies' Twentieth Gen.
fury club in the form of a petition,
which was Endorsed by their members,
after which they carried the petition
to the town authorities. The work Of
the scouts united the various forces
in the town, and the relief was prompt
ly granted.

Closet Lovers Revei In House That 10
q Model Of Convenience.

= mooei OF convenience
A house recently built is a model in
the way OF closets. In every IN Of
the closets are electric lights. to be
turned on and of with the opening
and shutting Of the door. There are
conveniences for hats and shoes. Each
pair of shoes has a separate compart.
ment fitted with trees. The hat com
partments are fitted with millinery
stands to keep the bets from being
crushed.
There is n closet to be proud Of In
the nursery. 1t contains shelves set
closely together. one above the other.
They are very deep. but made of light
wood, so that they are not heavy. An
entire shelf. with its contents, can be
lifted u easily and carried like a
tray wherever needed.
The bottom shelf, covered with white
rubber, is for toilet articles. On it are
n pretty papier mache basin. soap dish
and powder boxes. On each Of the
shelves complete baby outfits are laid
out ready for use.
The architect who planned the linen
closet certainly knew woman's wants.
1t looks like a row OF deep drawers;
but. instead OF pulling out, the front
pieces are hinged and let down like a
desk cover. supported by chains. Be
hind are the shelves piled with linen.

You are cheap and coarse and common

Said the Turnip to the Apple:
pray. don't think yourself too smart.
Under all your rosy bushes
I've no doubt you're very tart!'
Said the Apple to the Turnip:
I'D not eat you for a crown:
In fact, wherever you turn up
I'd surely turf you down"
Said the Turnip to the Apple:
you are very far from meek:

And a little less of cheek"

GOWNS FOR SPRING.
Floral Patterns Favored In High Class
Cotton Fabrics.

While there are ample displays OF
spring dresses in silks. in covert cloths.
in serges, in gabardines. etc, the early
showings now ready include a large
proportion OF cotton and linen models,
says the Dry Goods Economist.
In high class cottons there are print
ed patterns In widely scattered floral
patterns. Especially attractive designs
have black flowers on white ground.
Stripes in black and In color ONT and
onehalf inches wide and separated by
white spaces n and one-half inches
wide are among the novelty cotton de-
signs used in some OF the smartest
dresses.
In three piece summer cotton suits
and o a dresses in mannish cotton
mixtures in black and white are par
ticularly effective. These materials
somewhat resemble ~ratines. but show
the newer weave brought out for the
season of 1915.

BY JUDS0N A. r

nation out of Germany for the use Of
an enemy.
Here was a pretty pass. In my hur-
ry to get away I had forgotten my
passport, or, rather. / had thus far not
been required to show 1t, and 1t had
not occurred to me that the document
would be now required. coo
When we reached a city, didn't
know what city, was taken from the
train and conducted to the headquar-
ters of an officer who, / judged by
the respect paid him. was Of high
rank. He received me with a lowering
port and. looking at my wig, said what
by his expression I judged to mean,
Take him out and shoot him."
The soldiers advanced Z take me.
In a fit Of desperation I seized my red
wig and, throwing it on the floor,
trampled on 1t and cried out, II am
not a red headed man; l am an Amer
lean citizen"
There must have been something
ridiculous I'm the act, for the officer
burst into a laugh. Then an inter-
prefer was called, who translated my
story. As soon as 1t was understood
that I was an American and the pass
port belonged to me / was set at lib
erty, with an apology. Realizing that
my train had gone on, l asked for a
permit to travel on a troop train, and
one was given me.
/ could not endure to travel without
my wig, so / retained 1t. During my
journey through Belgium l fell In with
a Frenchman with a red head. AS
soon as we passed into France he gave
me his passport, which he no longer
needed.
While working my way south toward
Paris l vas set upon by a party Of
French spy hunters. Thinking to get
rid of them without their noticing the
difference in my hair from that laid
down In my passport, l used the one
given me. Unfortunately a keen eyed
fellow noticed how the hair of my wig
fell on my neck and, grasping the wig,
held it up amid shouts from the 9TH
ers, crying:
"A spy! A spy"
Again I was taken before an officer
this time a Frenchman, who. on re-
ceiving the report of my captors. or
dered me out to instant execution. /
stood before him with folded arms and
uncovered dome and cried in a stem
torian voice:
'Je suis Americana
/ suppose it was the absurdity this
time as well as before that saved me.
The officer laughed, consented to listen
to me, and. since / spoke French toll
erably, + told my story. producing my
own passport.
And so my life for the second time
was saved by mock heroics, and I
reached Paris without further trouble.

The acme Of realism was reached,

Two men had a personal encounter.
One Of them after vainly trying to
draw his pistol from bis hip pocket
turned to fee. A moment later he fell,
shot in the small Of the back. One
chamber of his pistol was found to
have been fired. His assatlant was
tried for murder.
The defense commended that the man
had shot himself while trying to draw
his pistol. which had become entangled
in the lining Of the pocket. and that the
prisoners shot had not taken effect.
The prosecution eontended that such
a wound could not have been self In
f1icted.
The defendants counsel, Clement Z.
yallandigham, undertook to demon
strate to the jury Just how the dead
mans pistol had hung In the pocket
and Just how possible 1t was to iniict
such a wound. Suddenly there was a
loud report, and the lawyer sank to
the floor. The ball had entered the
back almost in the identical spot where
the dead mar had been shot.
The defendant was acquitted. Mr.
vallandigham died-Exchange.

SKIRTS FOR SPRING.
Most Of These With the Flare Effect,
Says a Fashion Authority.

The skirts of spring suits are practi-
cally all made in flare effect, says the
Dry Goods Economist.
Various types of skirts are being
shown, including the modification Of
the circular skirt. the godet and the
skirt in yoke effect.
A few skirts showing. clusters of
plaits inset at the side seams and other
novel forms OF plating are also in
cluded in the early showings.
Suits Of serges, gabardines. coverts
and poplins are looked upon with favor
for the coming season. A few club
and shepherd checks are also included
in the spring samples.
