Diplomatic Honors,

Diplomatic agents are in three
classes: First. ambassadors, legates,
and nuncios: second, ENJOYS and
ministers; third, charges daffaires.
An ambassador is thus the highest
diplomatic official sent from one coun-
try to another, and a minister is an
agent of the next lowest rank. The
ambassador represents not only the
state from which he is sent but the
person of his sovereign. and is enti-
tied to ask an audience at any time,
to rank next the blood royal, and to
be held exempt. with his household,
from local jurisdiction Envoy ex.
traordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary" Is the full title of the diplomat
ic agent of the second class. who rep.
resents only the state. and not the
person OF the ruler. Charges d'affaires
are lesser representatives, and must
deal with the ministers of foreign at.
fairs of the country to which they are
sent. The embassy is the headquar.

"A mighty slick young fellow"
was what most people said of Joel
Quinby.
"A steady-going plodder.' was the
way Ned Travers was designated.
: Both were in love with Constance
Farrar. beauty and belle. Naturally
Joel attracted her with his brilliant.
dashing ways. When Constance Sc
, riously reflected. however. her
thoughts mostly favored Ned
Both young men had a future to
make. and both started in with the
| big wholesale house Of Brown & Co.
on an equal footing and with even
chances.
Joel was in the buying. and Ned in
the selling department. The house
had a large clientele. With Ned the
effort was to buy as cheaply as posi-
BILE. with Joel to sell at the best profit
he could get. The latter had the in
stincts of a natural trader and forged
ahead rapidly. He began to sport
loud clothes. diamonds, and assumed
an independent, staggering manner
, that did not win friends among his
; associates.
One day Ned had an insight into
the character of Joel that affected him
gravely. Joel invited him to visit
his club. 1t was all new to Ned. who
noticed that Joel made himself con-
/ spicuous. Some men were playing
| cards at a table, when Joel sauntered
towards them.

trusive way, speaking of cards, I've
run across a queer thing. Friend Of

"Done!"
The money was put up. One of the
card players selected a card 1t was
the ten Of spades. Silently he showed
1t to Joel and his companions. Then
he lay 1t face down on the table.
Hey, jerks" he called to the club
manager, go to the phone, will you?
Now then-what's your friends ad-
dress?" he asked Of Joel.

The club manager called up the
number indicated. Ned interestedly
keeping track of the incident, heard
him say over the wire:
This Mr.. Randolph yes? Mr..
Quinby and some members OF the
club here have picked out a certain
card. He has wagered that you can
tell what it is"
Very promptly the person at the
other end OF the line must have an
swered, for the club manager wrote
down his reply on a piece of paper
and took it over to Joel and his
friends. II read:
Ten of spades"
There were EXPLANATIONS of sur
prise. suspicious guesses, theories.
No one, however could tell how the
thing was done. Blandly Joel peck
eted his winnings. He chuckled audi
bly, as he and Ned got out on the
street.

Ned did see, and also the low grade
of morals to which Joel had de-
scended. However, many a time he
smarted under the rapid advance Joel
made in business. He was desig-
mated as shrewd, live wire, and all
that. Ned went slow-but sure. He
could not afford to take Constance
around In an automobile nor send
her flve-dollar-a-dozen roses. For all
that she seemed to enjoy a drive In
the old-fashioned phaeton. and the
first wild daisies that Ned walked
miles to discover.

is the item of low cost (very low as
compared to fur coats) the popularity
of fur-cloth is easily understood.
One of the newest models is pic
tured in the handsome garment shown
here. The full ruffled skirt and
straight-hanging lines, with ample
width around the bottom, place the
design in the front row of novel
ideas in coats. There are not two
opinions as to the style and beauty
of this striking wrap, which, by the
way, is an American production.
Occasionally one finds a sentiment
at war with the use of skins. More
over the supply of fur. unequal to the
demand in normal times. must send
prices upward. II they are out Of
reach, or the fur garment cannot be
worn with an easy conscience, fur
cloth is the best of substitutes.

There was great long table and
this was soon piled man high with
the boxes. As Ned got down from the
ladder. his task accomplished, he was
amazed TO see Joel jump up on the
table and fling himself into the midst
of the heap. He paved over the
boxes. he rolled, he struck out with
his fists, he jumped about the pile
until it presented a great mass Of
wreckage
"There!" he cried exultantly. that

Ned

Then came ii: news of war and close
on the heels Of the announcement the
head Of the firm returned
Two days later the amazing news
went the rounds Of the establishment
that Joel had resigned" Later Ned
got wind of a STERN.

of the firm had not ordered any new

Are Different.

Just as last summer the lovely
touch of white neckwear was organdie
and lawn, SO now 1t is of cream net
and lace in the finer costumes. and of
pique In those dresses that smack Of
the tailormade.
There is less wiring of the collars
to make them stand up, as the necks
are higher as far as decollete is con.
cerned; they can, however, be lightly
wired IL they are more becoming.
Fine venise. applique and point laces
are noted In the collars OF the new
dress models, and there is always
enough net added to the neck decora,
ton to keep the lace from looking too
hard against the skin.
Some Of the lace guimpes are Of

with Q round neck that does not come
