ty, to Marshall, by way of Big Flat,
James Albert Rorie, who has been
blind since he was five years old, ar
rived at Frank R~ainbolt's, near Mar

the way with no one to guide him ak
cept his faithful dog. He chained his
dog TO the bit of his horses bride.
The dog started out in the direction
that Mr.. Rorie pointed. When the dog
came to the forks Of a road he would
trot back and forth until Mr.. Rorie
motioned either to the left or to the
right, and then they would proceed on
their journey. There are three broth,
ers in this family who are blind, the
other two being Henry and John. They
go to any place they wish with no per
son to accompany them. Last year

Two of the most BEAUTIFUL hats of
the season are portrayed here, and
they belong to those types that with
little variation reappear with each sea-
son They are picture hats on such
good lines and with SO much to recom-
mend them that their welcome is all
ways assured.
The hat at the left is made of black
velvet or of one of the dark shades
which are fashionable in colors. The
crown is round. The wide brim is
flexible and cut with a straight edge
at the right side. At the left it turns
up and is bent toward the crown,
showing, altogether, the influence of
the seasons tendency toward eccen-
trio brims. Its lines are wonderfully
becoming.
1t remained for this season to show
just what beautiful effects can be
wrought by the artist whose medium
Of expression is the fancy feather.
This hat is trimmed with fancy os-
trich. It seems that nothing else could
look Just as we'll.
The hat at the right is a wide
brimmed French sailor made of vel
vet faced with striped plush. Its color
possibilities are worth considering.
1t has a round crow and. for trim
ming. another masterpiece in fancy
feathers.
1t is not always easy to recognize
the kind of feather which those clever
people who work in them CONVEX into
the things of beauty that adorn so

Most naval air mechanics are ac-
complished swimmers, and possess a
constitution of iron. When the navy's
great seaplanes are launched the me-
chanics generally have to wade up to
their necks into the water to
maneuver the machine from the shore.
To plunge into icy cold water in the
half light of dawn is not a pleasant
task, yet it is one which the sailor
mechanics have to carry out almost
daily. In rough seas the waves break
over their Leads, and the seaplane
they are maneuvering is tossed about
like a cork. YET in true naval spirit
the mechanics of the naval air serv-
ice carry out their hazardous duties
cheerfully.

The New Belts.

Four-inch belts of soft kid in light
and medium colors are bound with
black or white silk braid. Black rib
bon lacings through black eyelets are
seen on smart models. Ornaments
and buckles to match are used on
belts, the former being placed at the
back. Buckles are also made of Jet,
gilt, pearl, galalith, silver, beads, etc.
A very military-looking belt Of kid
or leather has for a fastening a buckle
initiating four cartridges made Of gilt,
nickel, gun metal or a combination of
two metals. Embroidered belts are
used Of satin, ribbon, soft kid or panne
velvet. With princess fronts the belt
disappeared under the side of the one
piece effect. Sometimes It is worn
at the real waist line, or it may go
an inch above.

Two favorites Of fashion for this
season enter into the composition of
this handsome coat; they are the
corduroy velvet of which it is made,
and the opossum fur On the collar.
Corduroy in a good quality is about
the best choice one can make among
materials designed for coats for gen.
eral wear, and the high favor of
opossum fur threatens to thin the
ranks Of the little animal, whose fine
markings have lately sprung into I'M
~precedented favor.
The coat is long, ample and grace
full. 1t is cut with the long arms
eye and easy adjustment which makes
it practical for wear yer evening
gowns.
Innings selected for coats of this
kind are of thin, supple silk or crepe,
in order that the coat may fall in
good lines about the figure. 1t is cut

with full skirt, which ripples at the
bottom, and is provided with a shaped
belt and sash ends Of the corduroy,
also lined with silk. Machine stitch
ing makes the finish, and the ele-
gance Of the coat is still further en-
HANGED by the lack of any other trim
ming.
The model is double-breasted, fas-
tening at the throat with a single
large and ornamental button. A sim
liar button in a smaller size appears
on each cuff. The collar is made so
that it may be rolled up about the
neck and fastened with hook and eye
in a high turnover.
Although pictured as worn ove an
evening gown, this coat is appropri-
ate for all sorts of wear. The mate
rial is very serviceable, but its rich
luster places it in the class of dressy
coats as well as among those de.

Bridgeport, Conn.-Paul ]. Barber
is a prominent young business man of
Wilkes-B Barre, Pa. With his friend and
classmate of old University of Penn,
sylvania days, Edward Poll, he came
here recently for a visit.
The especial attraction which
Bridgeport held for Poll was a young
woman who was then visiting Miss
Ruth B. Alling, the attractive daugh-
ter of Noyes B. Alling, who conducts
several rubber stores. Naturally Poll
and Barber were frequent visitors at
the Alling home during their stay.
Some days ago Barber, in opening
his mail, found a postal from Miss
Alling. She had "just dropped him a
line" to let him know she was to be
married to John R. Wrigle, manager
of the Bridgeport Compressed Paper
Box company. She hoped he would
wish her happiness in her engage
ment and subsequent marriage.
Barber did wish her happiness-all
the happiness in the world-but he
was determined he would be the one
who would bring her this bountiful
happiness.
Puts in Long-Distance Call.
The young man fastened to the
nearest long-distance telephone. He
called the Alling home, got Miss Alline
on the wire, having prearranged with
the Wilkes-Barre operator that no mat
ter how high the tolls rose he must
not be interrupted.
There is little likelihood Of anyone
ever knowing, including Barber him
self, just what was said in that con
v~ersation or how it was said, but II
was eminently satisfactory and effec
tive.
Barber, in consequence, took the
next train for Bridgeport. He did moi
his arrival here, but he ant

was the city hall. A license was pro

could hear the safe being opened. After
that it was easy"
Who works at night besides Pc
tefs?"
Miss Graham"
"Whewi" said Bramwell. Engaged,
aren't they?"
They stared at each other and then
smiled. There was small hope of re-
covering the plans, but at least it
seemed to them that they were on the
trail.
John Peters, President Feggis' sec
rotary, and Nancy Graham, his stenog-
rapher, had practically the run of the
Office during the presidents absence.
The inquisition had narrowed itself
down to them. Nobody else could pos
sibly have been guilty. Peters had en-
tered the presidents employ in his
present capacity five years before,
Miss Graham seven. She had worked
up to her present position at thirty dol
lars a week, and there existed some
feeling against her, not only on the
part of the girls who we're now her
subordinates, but among Bramwell
and Lewis, who resented the fact that
she and Peters occupied a practically
independent position during the presi-
dents absence.
In spite of the heads precautions
the story of the theft leaked out. In
sensibly the suspicion of the office
force was directed toward the oecu-
pants of the mahogany-furnished room
where Peters and Nancy worked to-
gether. And insensibly Nancy felt
that chilling suspicion enter her own
heart.
There was, in reality, little room for
private talk between them, even If
they had been SO minded. The presi-
dents office. fitted with transparent
windows that looked out directly upon
the general Office, allowed both occu.
pants to be seen at all times. Often
Nancy would look up from her work to
