A LATE SUMMER SUGGESTION
Chintz as a Fabric For Dresses Is
Meeting With Much Favor.

Now We are quite used to chintz as
a fabric for home decoration, and most
Of us are well acquainted with the
beauties of this dainty fabric. But
only a clever woman would think of
dressing herself in the same fabric in
which she decorates her furniture and
windows. And yet chintz as a dress
material Is altogether delightful, hav-
ing cheapness as well as beauty TO rec
ommend Ii.
A chintZ chosen for a gown Is In one
of the new Poiret designs. with a
white background. upon which black
lines In check design are drawn. A
tiny red and a tiny purple flower fills
the white squares. The skirt Is made
quite plain like n tennis model and
comfortably full. so that walking In 1t
is easy. Its only Communications are
two huge gathered pockets. which are
placed on either side Of the hip, a lit
tie above the knee.
A dainty white shirt waist, orna-
mented with a chintz collar and cuffs,
completes this effective costume.
Chintz Of a very charming and new
pattern can be purchased for 80 cents
n yard. and three yards will be quite
enough to make the entire costume.
This makes the actual cost come to
about a dollar. A good skirt pattern
can be bought for 10 cents. and this
will make things easy. From the
scraps left after the skirt is cut out
and made collars and cuffs for n last
years shirt waist can be devised. This
will give the blouse a new air and will
make 1t correspond with the chintz
skirt. If you have a last years straw
hat that looks quite hopelessly old COW

edge it with bah furniture fringe.

will be as smart en- outfit as could be
desired for a sun which will not ex-

The Woman Clerk ;, !. ..I.g. .ezIe.

Sykes kept turning over his capital
SO steadily that there was never much
cash on hand. He was always owing
money for goods. and as soon as he
received remittances to n consider
able amount he paid 1t out to his cred
itors. One day his clerk asked him
why he didn't let his creditors walt
for their money instead Of paying so
promptly and make interest ON 1t. add
ing that II he should at any time find
1t impossible to pay cash they would
suspect something was wrong with
him. Sykes was impressed with the
idea and ceased paying so promptly.
After that there were occasional ac-
cumulations of cash on hand.
One day Sykes was in the back Of
tn. store figuring over his cash ac-
count. His clerk was at the front
Gusting the shelves. 1t was at an
hour when few persons came to the
place to make purchases. and no one
besides the W. were in the store. A
man came in. said something to the
clerk, and the two walked back to
where Sykes was at work. He recog-
nized In the man the person who had
recommended his clerk.
"Mornin'. Mr.. Sykes" he said. "How
are you pleased with the young wom-
an l sent you?"

HE doesn't believe that women's
services are worth as much as a

with him long enough for a raise. but
I don't get It,"
Sykes looked uncomfortable. There
was something icy cold In the tone in
which she said this.
Don't you find her trustworthy? p
asked the man.
Perfectly" said Sykes, wondering
what this was leading to.
HE has never trusted me with the
safe combination" said the woman
Hasn't he? Well. l reckon he'd bet
ter pay you some back salary" With
that he whipped a revolver from his
hip and covered Sykes. There was q
weapon in the desk on which Sykes
was figuring. but he dare o attempt
to get 1t out.
Who are you and what do you want
here?" he asked the la

The game that had been played on
Sykes flashed upon him at once. He
opened the safe while the man kept
him covered. and. after the woman had
gathered some $1,000 that was in 1t,
they bound and gagged Sykes, walked

HOW YOUR NAME ORIGINATED
Many Of Our Ancestors Adopted Ones
of Trade They Worked At.

If you look in the city directory you
will find all kinds of trades represent
ed-Smith. Turner. Carpenter. Wheel
right, Goldsmith, Carter, Silverman,
etc. Most likely the ancestors of the
persons bearing any of these names
worked at those trades and became
known thus: John the Carpenter, Oil
yer the Goldsmith.
Other persons took their James from
their surroundings. For instance. Bel
mont originally meant n pretty mount;
Bergman. n maj that lived among the
mountains; Hamilton, a small town.
Some of our friends ancestors were
named after animals, such as Fox,
Bear. Wolf, etc.
Others again. after their habits. For
example, Drinkwater.
