Handsome Enough to Kiss
By HARVEY L. WILLIAMS

and a pair Of lips pressed against his
own.
Having been pinioned from behind.
he was powerless to resist the kiss-if
he had wished to do so-or to get a
hold on the kisser. He tried to clutch
the arms. but they evaded him, and all
the satisfaction he derived from the
attempt was a knowledge that they
were covered with feminine material.
He reached out wildly In the dark, but
came In contact with ~nothingness.
Nearly two minutes elapsed before
the train shot out into daylight. When
it did so Wilton swept the car with his
glance with a view TO discovering who
had kissed him. There were a number
of women in it besides the three ladies
mentioned. Having noted those at a
distance. he fixed his glance upon his
neighbors. Aunt Sue was peering out
of the window, and, her back being
toward him, he could not see her face.
Dorothy was wiping the dust out of
her eyes with her handkerchief. Fan
ny was leaning back in her chair look
ing up at the car ceiling apparently
wrapped in thought. (
Wilton formed an opinion that he
had been kissed by one of his neigh
bors. He came to this conclusion be-
cause they were so neal him and be-
cause there was no other woman on
the train who looked as II she would
be likely to commit such an act. OF
the three he fixed upon Dorothy as
the culprit. And yet when she finished
wiping the dust out of her eyes he
noticed an amused rather than a guilty
expression on her face. Aunt u kept
her back turned toward him Sc long
that he was not sure after all that she
was not the perpetrator. The only
one of the three that he was quite SURE
was innocent was Fanny. She looked
| fitted to sit as a model for n Madonna.
When the train reached the terminal
Wilton left the car. still uncertain as
to who had kissed him. The three Ia
dies left at the same time, and he saw
them driven away in a private car
riage. They took no notice of him.
| seeming to be oblivious of him.
One evening not a week later Wilton
appeared. handsomer than eve In even
ing dress at a function. He was walk
ing toward n group of ladies', and when
within a few feet of them one of them
whose back vas toward him turned
suddenly and faced him. The moment
she saw him she turned scarlet.
She was Fanny.
An Observation-Disclosures for
the young lady-followed, while a sat
isfied smile played on Wilton's lips.
Since they are now an old couple there
can be no harm in stating that she was
| put up to kissing her fellow traveller
by the other two women, who assured
her that they would draw the gentle
mans attention to themselves as soon
as an inspection was made.
But what at the time saved Fanny
from detection was her admirable nerve.

cut features.
Wilton entered a parlor car one day
for a journey. On the opposite side
were three women. One was about
thirty. another twenty and the third
seventeen. The two younger ones cali
ed the Oldest Aunt Sue, while she call
ed the next younger Dorothy and the
younger Fanny. Aunt Sue seemed to
be on terms of equality with the 9th
ers and was the merriest of the three.
Dorothy and she were continually
cracking jokes with each other. while
Fanny was sober, but childlike.
Wilton, having placed his hand bag
gage In the rack above him. settled
himself In his chair, pulled a novel
from his pocket and began to read. He
did not therefore observe the effect his
manly beauty had on the ladies.
Dorothy looked from him to Aunt Sue
and back again to him with an express
sion that being interpreted meant,
isn't he just too lovely for anything?'
Aunt Sue returned the glance, indicat-
ing Handsome enough to kiss" Little
Fanny observed the mute comments of
her elders, but said nothing.
Dorothy leaned toward Aunt Sue and
whispered something In her ear. Aunt
Sue cast her eyes aside. rested them
on Wilton for a few moments, then
whispered something in DorOthy's ear.
Then Dorothy swung her chair around
and said something to Fanny. who
glanced at Wilton and shook her head
indicating a negative.
Wilton read ON unconscious of the at
tention he was attracting from those
three ladies'. Indeed, he had not given
them a glance ON entering the car and
had begun his reading as 500 as he
had settled himself. They were all
comely, dressed in a manner to in
dictate that they were persons Of refine

have spurred them to a conspiracy they
coneocted concerning him. But of this

which these three persons were travel
ing was a tunnel so long that some
three minutes by the watch were re-
quired for a train to pass through 1t.
The train reached the tunnel In about
an hour after starting. AS soon as
they entered it Wilton dropped his
book on his knee and with his face to
the window waited for the return OF
light. About half the distance under
ground had been passed when he felt
a pair of arms thrown around his neck

champion prizefghter Of the world.
Prizefighting Is a sport that Is abhor-
red by many thinking persons, be-
cause it is regarded as brutal and has
a tendency to lower those who engage
in it. Boxing, however, is considered
an excellent exercise and is practicec
in gymnasiums and at the various col
leges. Boxing Is said to teach self re-
lance, Quickness of eye and brain and
when INDUCED in with soft gloves for
points of skill only is healthful and
beneficial To become a champion re-
quires steady nerves and great stam-
ina as well as mighty strength. Only
those succeed who live clean lives
that is, avoid the use of alcohol, tobac-
co and excuses of any sort. This is
true of almost any undertaking. The
boy who wishes to reach the top might
follow the example of Jess Willard in
his mode of life. He neither drinks
nor smokes. Little Jess is only a baby
yet. He is but two years of age.

Women's Ways and Fancies
NOT REALLY MIDWcToRIAN.
We Stop Short at Couture Which
Stamps Us as Of Twentieth Century.

Stamps Us as Of Twentieth Century.
Shall we be wearing one button
gloves with our short sleeved gowns
and carrying reticules by August?
We already have the shepherdess hat
with its artless ribbons, the fiounced
skirts, the silk basque, the white stock
ings and laced black slippers. Moth
ing seems wanting but the couture to
turn us into mid victorians.
But the manner of wearing the hair
which We have adopted to 60 with this
historic style of dressing is another ex-
ample of the fact that no mode ever
renews itself In exactly the same ex-
preston.
The wearers of this type of gown
during its last incarnation thought 1t
almost improper to show their ears.
They parted their hair in the exact
middle and plastered it down with
bandoline on each side of the face.
Then they Topped it up into a knot or
a group Of conventional ringlets in the
back and called the result the proper
mode of hair dressing.
We, on the contrary. brush 1t up. fold
1t around our heads to make them as
much like a dot as possible, turn 1t In
behind and pin it firmly in place, and
cover only the tips of our ears and
sometimes not even their tips.
In this way we give an entirely diff
ferent effect to the ensemble and date
ourselves of the twentieth century in
stead of the nineteenth.

"The Skin of Ny Teeth"

this expression, which by many is re-
garded as vulgar slang, has really the
high classical authority of the Bible.
1t is Job 1890. who exclaims In his
anguish, 81 am escaped with the skin
of my teeth!'
Some common sayings, such as God
tempereth the wind to the shorn
lamb" Pouring oil on the troubled
waters The Mar horse scents the
battle from affair."" are supposed to be
in the Bible, though not &c. But there
are not many who, in using the ex-
preston of hanging on or being saved
by the skin Of their teeth" know the
high authority for its use.

BLUE FOR PEIGNoIRs.
This 10 the Color Most Employed For
Fascinating 6oudoir Gowns.

SC00Str 9OWfSs
Blue seems to be the favorite color
in peignoirs II one may Judge by those
recently arrived from Paris. The blues
employed are chiefly Of pale tone. since
duh shades do not accord with the
dainty furnishings and decorations of
the dressing room. Then, too, a great
many women who would not dream of
wearing certain delicate tones in con-
ventional garb have no hesitancy about
adopting them for garments of a char
acter so personal as is a peignoir. And
blue Is first ~favorite with the average
woman. eve though to some complex
ions it is unkind.
Delicate azure is the shade of a
peignoir entirely Of chiffon and trim
med in novel fashion with morning
glory sprays and satin ribbon. The
flowers head a knee deep lace founce
ON a filmy skirt, which they separate
from n bodice whose upper edge runs
under the armpits. Crossing the bust
is q blue satin wide ribbon. which at
the back drops ove the hips to recross
as a bow on the skirts front and finally
joins low at the back.
Alice. most alluring of modern blues,
Is combined with old rose in a peignoir
whose salient feature is a short box
like jacket, apparently designed to
break the long lines of a garment
whose silhouette is usually attenuated.

What Is Your Occupation?

The game may be played by three
or more children. One player becomes
the "guesser' and the others each

supposed to follow. The Ehesser then
asks. what is your ocGf pationy' and
all the other players must go through
the operation Of performing the labor
agreed upon. If from any one he

labor is then .he laborer must take
his place. He can have but N guess.

The argument Of Bishop Greer CP.
e. of New York is that because of
the war the Christian church Is fac
ing a critical situation and that 1t must
arouse and prepare itself to meet 1t
or acknowledge failure. He says in
part:
THAT the church today is facing a
critical situation both in it's own his
tory and in the history of the world Is
so obviously true that If we have eyes
We cannot fail to see it. But have we
the faith and courage to meet 1t? That

to us.
"A conventional acceptance of the
Christian faith or a formal acquies-
in 1t Is not enough. We must
put 1t to work not only in our personal
and parochial lives, but in the life of
the world. For that is what the Chris
tian faith claims to be; not tribal, ra-
cial or even national, but a faith for
humankind, for all humankind, and the
world now as never before is ready
to receive ii.
"The world is learning now from ex.
perience that it cannot get ON without
it. But are we ready to give it? Are
WE ready to make sacrifice for it? That
is what soldiers In Europe are doing
for their countries. And we Christians
call ourselves soldiers of Christ. If
we are, let us show and prove it. But
If we are not, then let us quit saying
and singing it. Let us at least be
real. Then it will appear. not al some
persons are saying, that the Christian
faith has failed today in the world, but
that we have failed to put it to work
in the world"

When about half way through the

more was put IN. The oil can was up
set and oil spread around the floor. In
some unknown way the oil caught fire
and for q time It looked as If the

members Of the gathering rushed up
to the stage and extinguished the

guests costumes caught fire, but it
was Immediately extinguished. After
the excitement was over Miss Drake
