MIR. SUBBUBS' GUESS
JUST AN IDEA OF WHAT SENSA-
 TON MIGHT BE.
But Then Possibly His Experience or Life in Country Town Had Left Him in a Slightly Pessi-
 mistic Mood.

Eagerly MT. Subbubs had moved from a congested city district to the broad coolness of a country town. At least so he supposed, and on his ar rival one warm afternoon within the shelter of his own vine and fig tree, he proceeded to array himself, according to free, unconventional fashion, in a cool, easy costume, minus the super fiuity of collar or coat
 'I wouldn't do that, dear said Mrs. Subbubs, when he had joined her in the breezy shade of the front varanda; "at least, not until we are better acquainted here. People judge one so from appearances, and I have noticed very few gentlemen about here in neg ligee dress
 MT. Subbubs obligingly retired to as sume his collar and coat, and then, re- comfort more endurable by tilting back in his porch chair, with both feet ele- vated to the railing before him.
 T wouldn't do that, dear" again ob- jected his wife. People judge others so by their attitudes, and I haven't noticed that anyone lounges about on their porches out here"
 Again MT. Subbubs, always accom- modating, acted on the suggestion, this time preparing to solace himself with cigarette, the materials for which he had at hand
 T don't know as I would do that" once more suggested his wife, notic- ing his design. Perhaps you had bet ter smoke cigars until you are a little better known here Some people are so prejudiced against cigarettes, and one is so apt to be judged by ones habits"
 If there was silky softness in MT. SubbubS' movements as he went in to hunt up the preferred cigar, it was en- tirely deceptive, tor within he was full of white-hot, boiling wrath.
 When he returned Mrs. Subbubs was listening in surprise to loud alterca- ton which had suddenly arisen a few blocks away in the streets of the usu- ally orderly, polite little town.
 T cant imagine what that noise can be about" she began, as MT. Subbubs returned to his seat, cigar in hand. Why do you suppose they are talking SO excitedly?"
 Easy co guess" returned MT. Sub pubs, applying lighted match to his cigar. Probably some poor devil has been moved to declare his soul is his own. I imagine an event like that would stir this town to it's founda- .ions. Judge.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
 A CH|LD'S BOWELS
# is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a
 sick child.

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose" mother insisted on - castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do The childrens revolt is well-found- ed. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them.
 If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious California Syrup of Figs" It's action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that teaspoonful given today saves sick child tomor- row.
 Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv

COLLARS OF WHITE SATIN
Make Charming Addition, Especially to the Gown Made Up of Dark
 Blue Serge.

There is already much speculation about the joining of soft silks and far ing circular skirts for spring, but if both remain in fashion after the French openings, which are scheduled for February as usual, no doubt the designers will find some good way out of the difficulty. Much can be done by borrowing from the ideas used in evening gowns made of silk net, which now have faring five and six-yard skirts held out by thick bullion cord. A cable cord of velvet or silk can re- place this one on silk street skirts
 The advance fashions in dark blue show the usage of white satin in the way of wrinkled stock collars and wide turnover cuffs. in wide belts of white kid with pearl buckles, and even in white satin hens when the nature of the frock allows one. This is good idea for the woman to assimilate if she is given to wearing dark blue. It would brighten that serge froek she has now and make it a bit different from what it has been.

 SUNK BY GERMANS
IT IS THE BELIEF THAT KAISER PLANS SYSTEMATIC RAID ON
 BRITISH SHIPPING.

London-The British steamer Dur ward, a Reuter- dispatch from Rotter- dam says, has been torpedoed by a German submarine. The crew was saved
 The Durward was a vessel of 1900 tons, built at Glasgow in 1895 and owned by G. Gibson & Co. of Leith. Scotland
 The Durward was bound from Leith for Rotterdam and was struck by the torpedo, according to tie Reuter- core spondent, while 22 miles off the Mas Hghtship. The crew took to the boats and reached the lightship from which Dutch pilot boat conveyed them to Rotterdam.
 News dispatches referring to the situation in Poland set forth that north of the Vistula, in the vicinity Of Lipno, Russian advance guards are within 20 miles of the German froL- tier, while to the northwest the Ger mans have evacuated Skempe, which is about 25 miles from the Prussian border and due southeast of Thorn.
 If the Russians follow up their sue. cess at Skempe and continue their forward movement, it will give them an unbroken front, in the opinion Of British observers. dangerously near German territory.

 The Woman's Trade Union of Amer lea has over 65,000 members
 Three out of every four nonagena- rians in Berlin, Germany, are women.
 Miss Jean T. Moehle, an automobile saleswoman, recently showed that she could handle machinery as we'll as sell cars. In leather apron and blue jean coat she stood on platform in a New York salesroom anG dismantled and assembled motor taken from a car she had driven over ten thousand miles.
 The wearing of skirt which was so tight that it interfered with the free use of her limbs caused Mrs. Della Wilson of Kansas City to lose her suit for $5,000 damages against the Chi cago. Burlington & Quincy railroad. The jury contended that a skirt which was only 32 inches wide was entirely 100 narrow for free use of the feet in boarding a train.

DICTATES OF FASHION

The newest card case is of striped silk.
 There is a new brown or greenish shade called rhubarb.
 Pale green and tan are the favorite shades for gaiters,
 A yellow vest will add a note of richness to the gray suit.
 Ripple styles and cape effects pre- dominate in both evening and after noon wraps.
 The new Japanese quilted wrappers are cut with perfectly straight unfit ted back.
 Square frames are seen in the new handbags, and some handbags are mel on shaped
 There are no tight-itting coats; all the new coats are semifitting; some have clusters of plaits at the side.
 Evening slippers are gorgeous. They are made of all sorts of rich ma terials and trimmed with brilliants and pearls.
 A gay conceit in handkerchiefs, not exactly the thing one would recom- mend for dress occasions, but just the thing to delight a kiddie, is a linen handkerchief with gay Panama canal straying in colors across it's southwest corner

At present smart footgear occupies great deal of attention, and the wom- an who realizes the importance of the smaller details of costume will in- vest in large selection of shoes, for almost every gown demands harmoniz- ing shoes.
 One of the newest ideas introduced upon smart slippers for afternoon and evening wear is the ankle strap, which clasps about the ankle in bracelet form. There are also ieweled ankle straps-not the stiff metal bands of other days, but flexible straps of rib bon or satin, with jeweled slides.
 In the fall high boots with wrinkled tops will be worn. They are fashioned of soft feathers and extend half way to the knees
 Embroidered leggings and gaiters also be worn, and with all footgear stockings of color to match the gown are favored. The vogue for black and white however, males white stockings the correct color to wear with black shoes.

 This he handed to his wife as some compensation for his present some what worm-eaten appearance.
 There, Alice,' said Mrs. Mumpser. proudly exhibiting the picture to the servant. That is a portrait of your master, painted when he was child"

GERMANS SHOWING
 RENEWED ACTIVITY
SMALL GAINS ARE REPORTED = BOTH SIDES ATTACK w.
 GOROUSLY.
ATTACK MADE ON DUNkiRk
No Confirmation From Official Sources of the Reported Visit of
 the Allies.

London.-Although official descrip- tions of fighting on the western front continue to be brief, there is evidence that it is growing fiercer at many points. The Germans are showing re- newed activity in the neighborhood Of Ypres, and heavy bombardments of the left wing ot the allies are almost incessant.
 From the center eastward, however, the battles are most bitter. In the Ar gonne, around Verdun and in Alsace, heavy engagements are in progress, ing been reached. But these are mere iy local affairs compared to what is ex- pected when the ground becomes more suitable for moving troops.
 Along the Belgian coast every move of the Germans is the signal for a re- newed Commandment by the British ships, while the aviators of both forces gre continually dropping bombs behind the lines.
 Dunkirk has been separated out for a German air attack, doubtless be- cause it is being used by the British as base of supplies from England, while Ostend, Bruges and Zeebrugge are receiving attention from the allies for a similar reason. There is no con- firmation from official sources of the reported visit of the allies airmen to Essen and Dusseldorf early in the week

sired it will be necessary to put in a basting thread to show where. It is not safe to give verbal order.
 Plain organdie collars are the rule, though we see some embroidered, others decorated with insets of lace and so on. I like those showing a little embroidery in satin stitch all around or upon the revers These are especially dainty.
 Organdie lends itself well to collar and cuff sets, and so does pique, which, by the way, is one of the fashionable fabrics again. Not the stiff, old-fash- toned kind. but soft, though heavy, weave. The large cord is preferred to any other.
 The pique collar and cuff sets are made with machine stitch. The material is always used double. The edges are stitched upon the wrong side. Then the collar is turned right side out, and a second stitching is put around the edge.

Wonderful New Resistance Allow.

A new alloy for use in making cleo tric resistance was put on the market in Germany shortly before the war and is said to be of great use in case the resistance wires or strips need to be worked at high heat; for the new alloy of chromium and nickel can be run at even bright red heat without suffering damage, and such heating does not make the metal brittle upon long use.
 Specific gravity of the alloy is S25, and it has a specific resistance per meter length and square millimeter section of 1.10 ohms. It can support temperature of 1110 degrees c. on constant run. The melting point is 1400 degrees c.

Petticoats Are Wider.

Petticoats are gradually growing wider at the foot. to keep pace with widening skirts. The ripple skirt. edged with fur. is all the prettier for ruffied silk petticoat beneath it, and the new petticoats with plaited frills are very gay and coquettish affairs. Pussy willow taffeta, soft in texture and charming in coloring, is better than messaline, which soon wears thin and frays at the seams, and the frills may be hemstitched or picot-edged to add a final touch of distinction Dan- cing petticoats of white or pale pink pussy willow silk are founced with lace and accordeon plaited chiffon, with trimming of small silk roses.

MEANS GREAT SAVING
PRETTY NECKWEAR THAT MAY
 BE MADE AT HOME.
Somewhat Expensive to Buy Ready to Wear, But Materials Are Cheap and the Work Really Amounts
 to Little.

Never before was there such a de- mand for pretty neckwear; in fact, the fancy, for it amounts to a craze. Going through a stock of neckwear a few days ago 1 was astonished at the simplicity of some models and could not help thinking how much money might be saved if the material were bought and the pretty accessories be made up at home, writes Helen Howe in the Washington Star. True. one can buy inexpensive neckwear that is very pretty; but alas! only lntil it has been laundered. Then it is poor look ing and sleazy. The better qualities of neekwear are quite expensive. For example, collar marked at S1.50 found was made of lace sold at 50 cents yard at the counter The two were exactly the same, both in tint and quality. As one yard makes the collar the saving is obvious. It could be made in half an hour. too
 The lace is folded in two and nine inches marked off at each end There it is mitered to form the corners. The lace between the corners is plaited or gathered to fit the collar on the waist. A strip of lawn doubled will make the raw edges neat and give a firm hold for sewing in
 The organdie collars are very popu- lar indeed. A collar in good quail ity will cost 50 cents, the cheaper kinds quarter, while half yard of the material will make half dozen collars in different sizes because the material is so very wide. For 60 cents yard very sheer organdie can be bought. The collars are made double The usual finish is a picot edge with or without row of hemstitching just inside. This can be sent to the hem stitchers to be done. In preparing the collar for hemstitching the raw edges are placed together and pasted half an inch from these edges. This is the guide for the hemstitcher. When re- turned the raw edges are cut away and the result is picot edge. If an additional row of hemstitching is de-

Private Tommy Sims had had pneu- mopia, and had been for some time in hospital, where they treated him so well that he was much averse to the prospect of being discharged as cured" One day the doctor was talk ing his temperature, and while Tommy had the thermometer in his mouth the doctor moved on, and happened to urn his back. Tommy saw his chance He pulled the thermometer out of his mouth and popped it into a cup of hot tea, replacing it at the first sign of the medico's turning. When that worthy examined the thermometer he looked first at Tommy and then back at the thermometer and gasped:

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
 TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
 Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff. itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get large bottle of the famous old recipe for about 50 cents.
 Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time, by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy Adv.

It is almost a relief to see a suit without vestige of fur trimming, for the use of fur threatens to be sadly overdone. Effectively used and in ously successful upon street costumes, but if one cannot have fur that is at least good of it's kind, one would be wiser to do without, and the number of cheap fur-trimmed models shown is lamentable.
