TREATED HIM LIKE LEPER
Characteristic French Method of Pay

Made Him Forever Infamous.

Alexandra Dumas contributed to the
Curieux an anecdote told him by Henri
Didier, who was deputy under the
Second empire. Didier's father was
secretary to the ministry of the in
terror at the time when the Duchesse
de Berri was arrested at Nantes at
the end of her attempt to raise the
country against Louis Philippe and in
favor of her son, the Count de Cham
bord. The traitor Deutz agreed to
sell to the government the secret of
her hiding place for five hundred thou
sand francs, and it was the elder Di-
diers duty to pay the scoundred for his
dirty work. He took his son Henri
into the Office and said: Look well
now at what passes, and never forget
it. You will learn what lache is,
and the method Of paying him." Deutz
was then brought into the room where
Monsieur Didier was standing behind
his desk, on which were placed two
packets, each of which contained two
hundred and fifty thousand francs. AS
DeutZ neared the desk Monsieur Di-
der made a sign to him to stop. Then,
taking a pair of tongs, he extended
the packets, one after the other, into
the hands open to receive them. Not
a word was spoken, and, when the
transfer was effected, Monsieur Didier
pointed to the door.

BOY TOOK CHANCE OFFERED
Indiana Judge Had Faith in Human
Nature, and 1t was Not Mis-
placed on This Occasion.

A judge sitting as the juvenile court
in an Indiana town was trying boy
on charge Of stealing stamps from
his employer. The evidence was pure
ly circumstantial. The boy had
cleaned his employers desk and a
short time later he tried to sell to an
other employee the same number, OF
stamps that had been missed from the
desk. The judge considered the evil
dence of the men who worked at the
same place and then called the police
man who had arrested the boy.
''Now," said the court, ibid either
of you see this boy take the stamps?"

WINGED Slightly at this statement.

may be. But I'm for absolute justice
In this court, and nobody saw the boy
take the stamps. The defendant is
discharged"
The next day the boy returned the
stamps to his employer.-Indianapolis

sleeves whatever. Occasionally a wide
circular cape without even armholes
is shown, made of pastel or high-col-
ored silk. Again, Sits framed in self
ruchings serve as armholes. Self
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-
gestion of waistline are features of
the summer evening wraps developed.
The afternoon wrap of satin or silk,
semiftted, and trimmed with bands Of
ostrich or marabou, is popular. The
selection of satin at this time is wise,

he would supply artificial teeth to the

cumstances who applied for them.

shabby but respectable clothes, who
was politely ushered into the waiting
room.
Scarcely was she seated when red
faced old man came to the place, and
announced that he had come about

"You are making a mistake, the
dentist replied. ST only made my offer
to ladies. In fact, there's one lady
waiting now
"Ay, an it's about 'er I've come" re

Frocl<s Are Quilted.

Quilted frocks for the kiddies are
replacing shocked effects, for quilt
ing is now the very last note in fash
ionable revivals. The quilting is done
in tiny hand stitches through two lay
ers of fabric, and is added to the frocK
in the way Of pockets, cuffs, round
yoke sections and trimming bands.
Linen does not take as kindly to
quilting as very fine cotton-all the
quilted counterpanes of great-grand-
mas day were of patchwork made of
scraps of cotton or muslin fabric, with
usually quilt lining of unbleached
muslin. Frocks for little girls are now
made Of very fine cream-colored cot
ton fabric, with quilted trimmings set
in with piped edges in color. The eff
feet is novel and very good.

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-
CURED 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

will be required, about 4 yards, from
u to 2 inches in width. Just fold
the ribbon lengthwise, then iron it !;
sew one folded end together and slip
a piece of glass between the fold;
stretch the ribbon tightly along the
glass, cut off the end of the piece;
turn the edges of ends in and over
sew; it should grip the glass quite
tightly.
Frame each edge of the glass in
the same way with ribbon border.
When the pieces have all been framed
the box is put together by overseeing
the ribbon edges together; use silk or
thread to sew with that is the same
color as the ribbon.
For a little latch, buttonhole tiny
ring with the silk and sew in the cen
ter of the top lid edge. At the bottom
of the box lay piece Of colored satin
or silk the color Of the ribbon used,
and the pretty box is complete.

Went With the Load.

An Irishman, having arrived in New
York few days ago, got employment
with lumber merchant. Later he was
ordered to take 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 yon think the horses haven't got
enough to do without hauling you up
this hill?"
Pat, fixing himself more comfortably
on top of the load, said:

Then, with a crack Of his whip, Pat
concluded:
Gee up, it's poor ship that can't

NEW MILITARY CAPE

Seeking something unusual In
wraps, a designer evolved the military
cape shown in the sketch, employing
In the original design natural color
pongee with facing and collar OF
French blue faille silk. A simple en-
broidery is worked in blue, yellow and
green thread.
Obviously a cape of this type is not
for conservative street wear, but 1t
offers an excellent suggestion for a
summer evening wrap, while 1t is
practical for wear over a bathing suit
to protect the wearer's arms and
shoulders from the suns rays while
Iounging on the beach. The cape is
circular, AZ inches long, and at the
center back is slashed to depth OF
18 inches. The collar is adjustable,
and may be worn as shown or drawn
high about the throat. If desired a
hood may be attached also and the
garment made practical for motoring
wear.
To make tL1s cape four yards Of ma
terial SO inches wide are required, to-
gether with two yards of contrasting
color for facing and collar.
Many owners of quaint old shaWls
are this season converting them into
capes, using the fringe or border as a
Trimming. A handsome shawl so con-
Vnrted may still be retained as an heir
loom, wraps of the cape type having if
not continuous at least a frequently
recurring vogue.
Great variety is in evidence in the
array of dressy silk wraps developed
for afternoon and evening wear this
season. Some have flowing dolman
sleeves, and an equal number have no

his offer of work.
