The ''Crevice''

The girl gave little cry of relieved
anxiety, and caught the kitten in her
arms.
'+Oh, am so glad, was afraid
it was lost, and 1t is SO tiny and de-

cold and darkness Thank you so
much, Mr.. Morrow. I suppose it was
waiting for me, as it usually does,
and grew restless at my delay, poor lit
tie thing, 1t was kind of you to COM

Feeling like an utter brute, Morrow
stammered a humble disclaimer of
her undeserved gratitude, and moved
toward the steps.

GREAT GRAVES COMES
TO GARDEN AlRDOME

Beginning next Monday, June II and
continuing the entire week at the Gar
den Airdome, The Great Graves COM
mences an engagement extraordinary.
Graves is by far the foremost nypno-
fist entour. He comes highly praised
by both press and local managers,
wherever he has appeared this season.
Last week in Fort Wayne at the Ma
jestic, he played a capacity business
all week. All Of Graves work is on /
me- and novel line and is far away
from the usual performances present
ed by other operators of this peculiar
science. There is more real comedy
and hearty laughter in an evening
with Graves than in a half a dozen
with a so-called musical or farce COM
edy now on the road. This will be
an entertainment out of the usual run
and one that you will come again to
see as the program changes in it's en-
tirety nightly.

'KERCHlEF TO BE CONSIDERED
Has Place All Its Own Among the
Accessories Of Dress in FASH
ions of Today.

That little square of cambria is al
most losing its identity with its i'm
portance as a dress accessory. Now
instead Of being a very handy object
when g. cold in the head is insistent,
or when summer heat brings the per-
spiration to the fevered brow, the
handkerchief is used to express the
latest fad or to give touch of color
to q sOmber frock.
You may have striped sports hand
kerchiefs in colors to- match the
striped skirt or blouse. They should
peep from the pocket of the plain
part of the sports costume. Often they
are of silk and encircle the sports hat
or swathe the neck OF the sports
blouse.
Handkerchiefs are no longer square,
either. They are round or show
rounded corners cut TO follow the out
line of the embroidered motif. Net
handkerchiefs, of no earthly use, but
of much dainty beauty, come in all
shapes and sizes. They are usually
finished with net footing.
Yes, and you may have a tasSeled
handkerchief. 1t matches your tas-
seled veil, too, by the way.

USE FOR OLD WAISTBAND
Discarded Article May Be Made of
Service in This Way, and Will
Last Some Time.

A good use to which an old leather
band and buckle may be put is illus
trated by the accompanying sketch,
in the way of using a portion of it in
suspending a purse or small bag from
the waist.
The bag shown in the sketch is a
simple and useful little article to make
for this purpose, but there are many
small bags and bag-purses already in
existence that could be used in the
way shown. The band will most prob
ably have to be shortened little, and
it can easily be cut down to any re-
quired length. 1t is sewn onto the
top of the bag in the position shown
in diagram A. The pointed end is
then passed under the waist-belt and
fastened into the buckle, with the re-
suit to be seen in the larger sketch.
Diagram B shows the bag hanging in
position upon the left-hand side of the

French blue faille silk. A simple en-
broidery is worked in blue, yellow and

Obviously n cape OF this type is not
for conservative street wear, but ii
offers an excellent suggestion for a

practical for wear over bathing suit

shoulders from the suns hays while

circular, AZ inches long, and at the
center back is slashed TO q depth of

and may be worn as shown or drawn
high about the throat. If desired a

To make this cape four yards of ma

Frocks Are Quilted.

Quilted frocks for the kiddies are
replacing shocked effects, for quilt
ing is now the very last note in fash
ionable reyivals. The quilting is done
in tiny hand stitches through two lay

yoke sections and trimming bands.

Went With the Load.

An Irishman, having arrived in New
York a few days ago, got employment
with lumber merchant. Later he was
ordered TO take q load of lumber some
distance away. Having gone half his
journey, he came to steep hill, and
while the horses were struggling to
get TO the top his boss happened TO
meet him, and seeing the horses in
such a difficulty, and Pat standing on
top of the load, he stopped him and
exclaimed:
do you think the horses haven't got
enough TO do without hauling you up
this hill?"
Pat. fixing himself more comfOrtab-
ly on top of the load, said:

fringed ruches, wide puffs or narrow
quillings of silk are favorite trimmings
for wraps of the type described. A
wide flare and the absence Of any sug-

the summer evening wraps developed.
The afternoon wrap of satin or silk,
semifltted, and trimmed with bands of
ostrich or marabou, is popular. The
selection of satin at this time is wise,
