Terse, Tart, Timely
Short and Snappy Sayings to Interest
Old and Young

And what office do you want?
n n n
A funny mar seldom sees any hu-
MOI in his own product.
n n x
Just why is a mean man? But
then, only the mean man can tell.
n n n
Of course Willie has high ideals,
but has he a single practical idea?
n n n
Yep, election time is trotting right
along. 1t will soon be on the gallop.
n n n
Even the buzzard, the lowliest of
birds, is loyal to its home. Are you?
Speaking of the weather reminds US
that it continues to be just weather.
Smile, and the world giggles with
you. Scowl, and you are just crouch.
n n n
Cheer up! At worst this life is just
one blissful dream of things we never
get.
A wise man ofttimes changes his
mind. The fool has no mind to
change.
n n n
"Push and Go" is bully in a kid,
provided it doesn't require a push to
make him 60.
rs n n
Even if you can't keep your money
in your own possession, at least keep
it in Pleasantville.
n n n
High society finds a deal of comfort
in the divorce courts. The press is
lavish in its publicity.
n n n
Tell every stranger you meet that
Pleasantville is a good town. In time
you may think so yourself.
n n n
Marriage is a sublime institution,
but often the sublimity is left with
the parSon VINO ties the KNOT.
~ n n
No, sister, not all men are beasts.
There are times when the beast
would object to the comparison.
n n n
Perseverance is an admirable trait,
but without the safety valve of COM
mon sense it becomes a menace
~ n n
There's a time for work and a time
for play, but some people in Pleas
antville forget to wind the clock.
n n n
There are two things a wise man
never does but once-twist the cats
tail and tread on his wife's corn.

 There is a choice in length of coat, but if one chooses to be exactly cor rect, the coat is short enough to show eight inches of the brooches, unmount- ed, and six in the saddle. There is a variety in coat models, among them the Norfolk and the English styles, and the coats for suits intended both for hunting and riding. A practical and dressy suit is pictured, made of hard-twilled serge in black and white check, with an adjustable cape.
 Riding boots of soft black or tan calfskin, and those that lace up the front, belong to the regulation outfit. For very dressy suits patent leather is offered, but it is less comfortable than the others. Soft white shirts with prim collars and mannish riding hats complete a costume that may be de- pended upon to enhance the good looks of any woman. In hats the choice lies between clipped beaver, felt. milan straws, satin jockey caps, or severely tailored street hats, with the clipped beaver in first place.

WOULD TABOO .TROT' STEALS
Move on Foot to Eliminate Unwar- ranted PurIoining of Bases in
 One-Sided Games.

There's movement on foot for a new rule that will cut down the base stealing averages of athletes who get a chance to bolster this percentage by trotting from sack to sack when they get on in the ninth inning and their team is hopelessly behind.
 For years it has been understood among ball players that catchers won't even try to get runners out under such circumstances. These pilfered sacks don't help to win the game and they're a regular joke.
 And yet a few such donated steals may enable the lucky player to lead the league in base running, nosing out some player who has had to work for every steal. The rulemakers have legislated out credit for steal when the other half of an attempted double steal fails, and now they are figuring how to word rule to cover this other scoring evil.

 "Who do you think is coming to our dinner party tomorrow night, Henry?" asked little Mrs. Emory of her husband. The Countess Karolyi." Well, let her carol all she wants to-" said Henry Emory heartlessly. Never heard of her anyway. Who is she?''

 Everybody in Mrs. Emory's circle had read of the countess, who had r,rn away from home as a girl and found employment as woman writer in London; how she had returned to peo- pie who believed her dead, years af- I0E, Ol uSI dllSi all to the elderly count to escape whom she had first left home Mrs. Emory felt that her visit would be a social triumph.
 You must be on your very best be- havior tomorrow, John,' she said to the butler.
 John Lisz, her Hungarian butler was treasure. She had had him | nearly year, and had never had a better or more distinguished looking servant.

 A couple of hours later John way laid her with the most extraordinary proposition that she had ever heard.

 Well, one gets things only by ask ing,"' said Mrs. Emory briskly.
 Madame, I was a-a gentleman III my own country, and Fl would give the world to meet gentlefolks again, not as butler. Madame, I ask to be your guest at dinner -:
 My guest, Jchn!' exclaimed his mistress, astounded at this sudden in depreciation of her own thought.
 "Yes. Madame, I pledge my word I know how gentlefolks behave. shall not shame you.'
 Little Mrs. Emory was indignant for a moment; then she saw the humor of the situation. And she happened to be one man short for her party She was sure none of those dining with her, largely strangers as they would be, would recognize the butler
 John, I will" she exclaimed i'm. pulsively. And I'll introduce you as a friend of ours who is staying with us. You have the-the proper clothes?'
 Indeed, yes. A million thanks madame!" cried John.
