squealing for dear life.
AS Mr.. Townbred picked himself
up he instantly forgot 1t was Billy

and turned him upside down. And
he was athirst for revenge. So, wav-
ing the board aloft and shouting for
John, he set out in pursuit Of Billy.
The chase was q merry one,

den and out again, around the back
of the house and out over the front
lawn to the public road where Billy,

Clothes Did 1t!

>HERE was once q certain Young
Man who Hewed Close to the
Line and Passed Up the Light
- Stuff. He worked like a Steam
Roller, leaving nothing Sticking Up In
his Wake. He was On the Job to the
minute Of a morning. and he left moth

as Faithful Employe-and he got

Which is to say that he got the Short

Drove him with Binders. The Boss
scarcely knew he was Present, for he
never got in the way by Falling Down
on Job. nor did he Step Forward and
ask to be Gazed Upon. He Sawed
Wood and swept up the Shavings" and
he never manouvered so the Boss could
note how much he had Piled Up in
day.
The only Front he had was Spotted
and Out of Press waistcoat that ought
to have been Cremated long ago. The
hair Of his head grew Six Ways for
Sunday and we'll down his Neck.
Whether he needed 1t or not, he
Shaved every Third Day.
He wore Threads on his Cuffs and
his collars were Laundered with an
Ink Eraser. The creases in his trous-
ers ran Round and Round and they
couldn't have been ironed out with a
pile Driver. Altogether. he looked like
tho Elks had just finished Initiating
him.
One day he was notified that Aunt
Mary had Shuffled OFF and left him the
Sole owner OF her Bank Account. Now
Aunt Mary had always been a Thrifty
Soul and she never Played Tag with u
Penny. Wherefor. Aunt Mary had
many Entries and no Withdrawals In
her Pass Book. She might even have
Dabbled II Bit in War Stocks on a Wide
House had she been Wiped Out But
Aunt Mary did no such thing.
So. Our Hero had Something left

Aunt Mary's Old Sock. And then he
began to Act Foolish. He made no

He tied no more Knots In his Shoe

Grape fruit or oysters for the first

vegetable, salad and sweets. The
word breakfast puzzles the uninitiated
American, but tho wedding breakfast
corresponds to the dejeuner a la four

In both Of the cases mentioned tho

THAT at suppers after the theatre,

WHITE LAMP SHADES ARE SMART

9YnHITE lamp shades made either
IL of heavy lace or of embroidered
w linen are the newest things, and
very attractive they are too, especially
in white, or white and black room.
According to modern ideas the light
from lamp should not be thrown
upon the ceiling and therefore all Of
those shades intended for electric
lamps are made with solid tops Of the
material. White shades are not nearly
so becoming as the rose-colored and

becomingness when fashion is to be
