 The article is entitled The Lightning Change Outfit"
 It runs thus:
 "A woman who works all day and whose hours for pleasure are not many has a secret by which she has been able to lengthen considerably the little joys which do come occasionally, like flowers along what is ordinarily a somewhat dull pathway. In a bureau drawer, sacred to this purpose as she keeps a pair or two of new, or at least perfectly mended Stockings, few of her prettiest hand kerchiefs some neckwear and pretty set of undergarments. She never uses these things except for emergencies. sud den invitations and the like. Experience has taught her what to add to this re- sourceful drawer. and even a single fou.

Searchlight to Shoot flares

From the New York Sun.
 Dixon, Ill.-The rabbit hunters of Dixor have hit upon a new way to capture bunny. They are now doing their hunt ing at night and use specially equipped automobiles for the work.
 A large searchllght is mounted on the car in addition to the regular lights. and the hunter takes his seat beside the driver, flashing the light from side to side of the country roads. The rabbits are blinded by the light and become easy victims of the hunter. Forty rabbits were killed last night in a trip by two hunters near here.
 Many farmers who have their farms posted forbidding' hunting are np in arms saying that night shooting is killing al the rabbits, and they know of no way to stop it.

 Her one joy in life was in watching the shop windows.
 | For hours at time she wolud sta ld be- fore them feasting her poor little eyes

 them, and then she began to laugh at her self, for she had no 'boudoir'" only the "hall'' bedroom, to wear them in, and she didn't even have a fluffy, filmy 'neg- ligee" to match the pretty things she had bought.

Remember that Phelan has done very
little work at second base so far, and
that McLarry. and Fisher have been
the boys doing the regular duty in
that vicinity.
There was some pepper and hustle
in the Cubs that was not there last
season. Frank Schultz hiked around
speedily, and was in the game every
minute. The Great Zim fooled a
couple of plays, but he was going
about his work seriously, with the
Charles Chaplin stuff eliminated.
Game No. makes the White Sox
look like different combination
from that which represented the
South Side in the American League
last season and for the past several
campaigns. The gang was strong
enough with the bat to overcome sew
eral deficiencies in the field and win
back the game after it was apparent
ly lost. That is unusual reading for

Main strength rather than good
baseball was responsible for the vic

parent that will wear down in time.
This was especially true of second
base, where Buck Weaver and Eddie
Collins acted as strangers, and did
not cooperate as they will when the
seasons a couple of weeks older.
One play illustrates this. In the
first inning a ball was bumped to
Breton with a man on first. The
third baseman turned to throw to
second for force. Weaver was loaf
ing between second and third, and
Collins was fiat-footed between sec
ond and first. Then Breton tried to
nail a man at first and made a wild
throw.
Either Weaver or Collins should
have been covering second base for
such a play as developed. AS yet
