AUTUMN WHISPERINGS.
A Few Hints From Paris, Still the
Fashion Center.


The genius in Paris who designs
many of the materials which later ap-
pear in America for women'S suits and
gowns has already begun work for the
fall season, and information regarding
woolens, yelvets and silks, their colors
and their weaves, has been waited
across the Atlantic for the edification
of such men and women here whose
business is directly concerned with the
making Of women's garments.
Very interesting is the statement
that serge Is to remain in vogue
throughout the coming season. This
does not mean altogether a serge of
the type to which we have been accus-
toned during the last several months.
The high novelty as projected is to be
of serge with an embroidered pattern
executed in silk threads. No doubt the
big dressmakers of Paris who are the
first to avail themselves Of fabric nov
elites will find some way Of combining
this with plain material to bring about
very excellent and striking results.
Because of the fancy for striped pat
terms this season the materials listed
on the fall schedule also run to many
striped ideas. In some instances these
are carried out in silk threads. massed
together to give the effect Of a satin
stripe.

Making a Short Hike.

There is no troop or patrol Of scouts
which cannot get somewhere worth
hiking to, wherever it may be located.
If you don't know where to go the
interest is all the more. Make a hike
of exploration. For the one day trip
you need not give much attention to
Quitting and such matters asSoccupy
so much space in the manuals and
~handbooks. The most important thing
Of all is a comfortable pair Of shoes.
no matter how old, and enough clothes
to keep you warm. Also the first day
out in the season don't try for any rec
ords. A gait Of about two and 4 half
or three miles an hour will be plenty
and take you anywhere you want to
go. Sore feet and aching muscles tend
to discourage novitiate scouts.

dear, you being my most
intimate friend. l write you
first Of all to announce my en-

Illlllllule lllClII, L "AllC Nou
lv first Of all to my en-
gagelnent. Harry, after hang
Ing about me for two years. has ut

would have continued to do SO had I
not by my W skillful manipulation
brought him to terms l don't know.
AS it is. l had a hard time landing him
and did so only after a number Of eff
forts had failed.
Now, l wish to assure you. my dear.
that if YOU have occasion to bring a
man to terms, do not adopt any of the
old fashioned methods that are we'll
known-that is, if you are playing Il
man who is as adept at the game as
you. l tried a number Of them on
Harry. and he was too smart for them
all. First l told him that l was in
tending to study the law and. would
make a VOW Of celibacy that l might
be welded only to my professional
work. He laughed me to scorn; drew
ironical pictures Of my arguing a case
before a jury; said he would like to be
the Judge before whom l pleaded a
case. and all that.
About the time of this first failure
the European war broke out. and l
threatened to so abroad and take care
Of sick and wounded soldiers. He said
and enlisting in the Foreign legion.
l didn't go as a nurse. and he didn't
60 as q soldier. He had met my bluff
with one Of his own.
Then Howard Wentworth came to
town. and of all the girls here he SEEM
ed to prefer me. Taking advantage Of
his preference, l encouraged him, es-
pecially in presence of Harry. What
did the scamp do but devote himself
to Agnes Woodruff. l was frightened
for fear she would get him away from
me and dropped Mr.. Wentworth imme-
diately. After l had done so Harry
gradually ceased to pay marked atten-
ton to Agnes, but l knew that he was
still more or less devoted to her, and
it worried me.
Having heard that Aunt Caroline had
been in her youth skillful at the game
Of hearts, l confessed my failures and
my anxiety to her and asked her help.
/, THE trouble with your expedients,"
she said to me, "is that they are too
palpable. One Of those you have tried
Is excellent, but you did not apply it
in the right way. l refer to your at
tempt to pique your lover by accept
ing the attentions of another man.
You should not have called in the at
tentions of n real admirer, but an i'm
aginary one"
Not understanding what Aunt Carrie
meant, l asked her to explain. She
did so and gave me the identical meth
cd by which she brought Uncle John
to terms twenty years ago. l made
up my mind to try it.

Pussy Raised the Rumpus.

A Chicago lady became so afraid OF
burglars that her husband had the
house fitted with burglar alarms. Then
the lady slept serenely for seven nights.
On the eighth night, after all had re.
tired, the family was aroused by a VIC
lent buzzing and the furious jangling
of bells. \ terrified group Don gather
ed in the upper hall, and the head Of
the family turned on the electric lights
from garnet to cellar. Armed with re-
volvers, the men cautiously descended
to the parlors. found them silent, and
then entered the dining room. Hah, a
noise in the Kitchen. Door carefully
opened, and behold-the family cat!
She had been fumbling at the door
knob and raised all the tumult and ter
rOr.

WOmen's Ways and Fancies
IMITATION FURS.
Fur Fabric 10 to Be One Of the Leading
Imports For Fall.

FuF faPrie 10 TO 6e One OF the Lea0ln0
Imports For Fall.
Because fur is always in such great
evidence it has been thought desirable
include imitation furs Of good
weaves in the fabrics which we shall
see in the fall. Women Of good taste
are very cautious about adopting any
thing that is palpably an imitation OF
something better, and the mere fact
that the former is beautifully woven
and Of gracious quality Is seldom suf-
ficient to remove this prejudice.
Nevertheless from France we are to
receive an a%strakhan cloth Of a silky
quality, having a sort Of serge founda-
ton. Metal designs on wooden is an
other novelty promised, and this is con-
sidered something Of an accomplish
ment, as heretofore metal threads have
been largely confined to ~traceries on
silk or on velvet. The fact that they
are about to appear on cloth does not
mean that they will be any less in cost
than their forerunners on more sump-
tuous fabrics.

Bringing Him tOTerms
BY JOHN D.


My first nov was to nerve myself
to treat Harry with Indifference for a
stated period. This being a part of a
the part pretty we'll. l was careful
not to overact it, in order that he
might not see through what I was up
to. Having apparently grown more in
different to him for three or four
months, | accepted an invitation from
Elinor Trask to make her a visit. |
remained away six weeks, and when
l came home l talked a great deal to
my intimate girl friends about a fasci-
mating fellow l had met, or, rather
had not met. during my visit. giving
them the impression that l had been
much taken up with him. OF course they
spread a report that l was either en-
gagged or was likely to be engaged,
and it reached Harry's ears.
Nevertheless SO confident was he
that he could drop me and take me Up
when he pleased that he placed but
little confidence in my preference for
him having been diverted to another
channel. He came to see me ON my
return from my visit, twitted me on
having lost my heart during my alb
and asked for a description of
this "-Adonis." as he called my myth
ical lover. who had been SO fortunate
as to win such Il prize as myself. l
turned the conversation upon other
topics. Harry asked me to go to the
theater with him the next evening. l
told him so decidedly that l had a pre-
vious engagement that he did not ask
for another evening.
Harry did not call again for some
time. Meanwhile l was talking to my
chums about the fascinating man /
had met, confident that what l said
would reach the man I really loved.
telephoned to a florist. with whom ]
had left an order for flowers to be

Half an hour later the flowers came
and We're brought into the room to me
where l was sitting with Harry. Pre-.
tending to be anxious about them. !
!! opened the box containing them. In.
side was a little envelope. l seized i,
and without opening it held it in the
palm of my hand.
This was altogether too much fol
Harry's equanimity. He demanded tc
see the card of the sender, and ]
refused to give it to him. He turned
very red. then pale. and l saw that
an emotional storm was raging within
him. I let him go on till he had com
mitted himself after which he lost al
interest as to who sent the flowers, 70,
we were engaged.
l assure you, my dear. l. am Yer,
happy. and Harry says he is yer,
happy, and. as for my mythical lover
l think it is perfectly honorable for m,
to have used him, for he can't be a bi
! disappointed.

Lords Prayer on a Pinhead.

The Lords prayer recently was sent
to the Tribune, occupying cramped
quarters. The prayer was engraved on
the head of Il common pin-the kind
women use instead Of b~uttons-and, al.
though the script is invisible to the
naked eye, a magnifying glass brings
out every letter. The work was done
by a jeweler, who asked that his name
be withheld. He said the pinhead was
.OO73 OF an inch in diameter. He will
try, he added, to put the prayer on a
pinhead .OOG5 Of an inch in diameter

Religious
Increase Of Bible Distribution.

volumes last year, and with New Eng

mand Bibles in their tongues, and last
year 1918 copies We're distributed to
them. The lumber camps in the Adj
rondaclSs have been better supplied Of
late through a more efficient system.
The society has had a remarkable
year for a war year or any other. Its
issues of Bibles went beyond anything
in it's history and reached a total of
G.37O,4G5 volumes. This surpassed the
year previous. when there was no war,
by 1.119,2S9 volumes. The home field
distribution surpassed the previous
year by Scoops volumes and the for
eign n by 1.O5O,2G1 volumes. Since
its founding, nearly 100 years ago, the
society has circulated 100, 800, 1856 vol
umes. 4. reason for the large increase
last year. so the society reports, was
the extraordinary progress made on
mission fields in the far east.
TRANSACTIONS of the Bible into tongues

translation in Spanish is going on,
to be completed probably next year.
EeviSiOns for use of the Chinese and

Bibles for the Philippines, the Marshall
Stands and the Zulus of South Africa
are being translated. Already the BIZ

them.

knowledge and distribution. One is a

a Bible home at Panama. The third is
participation of the society in a Pana-

canal have long been found to furnish
opportunity for Bible sales to peoples
of many nations and tongues. 1t is be-

Besides these three plans having to
do with larger distribution Of Bibles,
the society is getting ready to cele-
