Wondered Why He Laughed.

A sweet young thing who knew all
about the latest fashions, for she wore
them, but apparently nothing about ma
ture. was attracted by q crowd Of
youngsters who were watching a
young sparrow on the sidewalk The
bird was too young to tiy and too bad
" frightened even to hep The young
woman tried to keep. the boys who had
gathered around II from harming 1t.
Presently big boy pushed through
the group, looked at the bird kindly,
then stopped and took it up. She was
much relieved. "WilI you take care Of
it?.s she asked him. Sure" he re-
sponded with inelegant emphasis. She
was anxious that it should have the
best OF care. so she suggested help
fully. better give it a little milk.
The boy stared. then he grinned. Then
he yelled Milk" he reared. milk

street. carrying the bird carefully in
his hands and derisively calculating
milk" Her face flushed as she went
ON her way. and she was heard to muir

crowd we're ear-splltting.
AS l stepped out with Atterbury, the
hands of the police went up to their
helmets in salutation. We passed be-
tween two oceans of humanity. Then
we were in an automobile, and rolling
toward the palace, with running,

In the cool courtyard half troop of
soldiers presented arms to US. A gor-

It is a good idea to buy an extra
yard or so Of the material selected for
a tailored suit, in order that the coat
or skirt, or both, may be altered and
the suit remOdeled. Good fabrics out
last styles, and a suit is often regret
fully consigned to the discard, not be-
cause it is worn but because styles
have changed since 1t was made.
A suit that is required to do more
than one seasons service without any
alteration should be conservative in
style. A plain skirt of medium full
ness, and box coat or one of the
plain, semifitted models, if well made
Of good material and fine finish, is
never out OF the running.
A good model to follow in remaking
suit is shown in the picture given
here. The skirt is made with an in
verified panel set In at the back and
front, and narrow skirt may be wild
ened by the addition OF such panels
Another good plan for widening a mar
row skirt is to split 1t up at each side
