Where changes in suit styles arc con-
cerned, the chief interest centres around
tbe skirt. And skirts are still very full,
indeed whether one suits the style or
not to certain extent one must adapt
oneself to the prevailing mode, or, as an
alternative. look very odd and out Of
place.
one very wealthy woman OF my ac-
qualntance insists on wearing tight skirts
i'm defiance OF all fashions most stringent

initiated are plying her as being pow
erty-strlcken. This is the fate OF almost
every woman who defes prevailing styles.
skirts lust now have two pockets in

Every sort of pocket Is to be seen. Some
are very large. some arc very small,
some are inserted In the material while

The garrulous woman Is indeed tryns
proposition to her friends and to every
one with whom she comes in contact
One can't be actually rude to her and
yet Il is so dreadfully hard to get away
from the perpetual flow Of her talk.
For she seldom mas a breathing space IN
which one can gracefully retire from
the embarrassing situation
The curious thlng about her sarrulty
is that che seldom has anything Of real
import to communicate. From out the
wordy flow Of her eternal chatter one
does not CLEAN anything of value or
a single point that one could consider
worthy of remembrance But the sweet
est music on earth to the garrulous
woman is the sound of her own voice,
and it is a music that never ceases. Men
may come and men may try in vain to go,
but it goes on forever And oh. the
sheer boredom of that endless flow OF
small, involved complicated nothinss.

how very successfully she is giving away

/ When time was up she sent her brother
Tom, 10 years old, to uherate the prts-
oner, and the lad reported

Yes. the sugar-tho dourn-the zpon-

that Master Thomas Wnlets considered
himself a hard case. OF course, he had
visited the camp. and, though ne was
threatened with a tanning If he went
again, he intended running away that
very night He did run away, and he got

At o'clock m the evening. when II was
discovered that Master Tom was not IN
his little bed his sister Bessie volunteered
10 go out and look for him. II was pretty
plain that he had made for camp, aud the
way to find him was 10 go to tho EDGE

"We'u see what the officer Of the day
SAYS about it,"
And, despite her entreaties and pro-
testations, Miss Bessie had TO 20 along
to the quarters of the officer mentioned.
He did not know her. but he had seen
Tommy skulking about few minutes
before and the young reprohate was
hunted up. When questioned he replied:
"Why, she looks like my sister Bessie
"But Is she?"
THAT depends. n ! am to get a lick
Ing for this, then she isn't within a mile
OF being my sister; If I amt then she's

Miss Bessie was escorted home to weep
tears of anger and humiliation, and Mas
ter Tom got his good and plenty. He re-
turned good for evil, however. When his
sister would speak to him again. and
when mis- back had ceased to smart, he
argued
"Uh. what's the use? You began the

"He saw you I'm the hammock and

Good MarmaIade

In making orange marmalade remember
10 buy good fruit and use the oranges at
once, before the skins become dry, or the
marmalade will lack flavor and quality
in consequence; also, If marmalade is
overaoiled. it destroys both color and
flavor.

A wood box in the kitchen should not
be too low. 1t is a good idea to have the

such things as stove polish, etc are kept
II the front OF the box IS made TO let
down on hinges, 1t can be cleaned out
