champion. But his mother was
a black and-tan street dog. The
Kid took after his bull terrier sire in
looks, and inherited his street mothers

grel blood was stamped upon him, but
II did not show outwardly.
He belonged to a drunkard, who used
10 win money on him in dog fights.
Matched once against dog twice his

His owner, in chagrin. set out to kick
the helpless puppy to death. groom
Nolan by name-rescued him, nursed
him back to health. and gave him the
first kind treatment the luckless cur
had ever known. In return, The Kid
adored his new master.
Nolan worked for Mr.. Wyndham. at a
big country place on Long Island.
where were a kennel OF thoroughbred
st Bernards. The Kid lived in the sta
BILE and was very happy. For once. he
had caresses instead OF kicks. and he
throve splendidly on the new treatment.
Miss Dorothy, too, Mr.. Wyndham'
little daughter, used to como out TO the
stables to pet him and play with him.
One day Miss Dorothy took him to the
kennels. One OF the st. Bernards-a
champion-attacked her. The Kid flew
TO her aid. Fixing his teeth In the giant
brute's throat, the bull terrier hung or

The acme OF movable table construc-

~ HERE seems to be no end to
the number, variety, and
color OF hat bands. Surely
there is to be a busy season
for Panama hats! Nowadays there
are very few people who have but
one band for the hat-indeed. one to
match each outfit Is almost a neces-
sity.
Cheap and good looking as we'll
were the elastic hat bands seen In a
store in Eleventh street. These are
in plain blue or brown. and a va
riety Of Roman stripes. They are
fastened with three or four silk COW
cred buttons at one side, and the
band slips over the crown OF the hat
without the necessity for snappers or
basting.
Grosgrain ribbons. more than two
inches wide. are 80 cents a yard.
These come in all the plain colors,
and are very attractively made up
into hat bands. These may be fas-
tened with snappers, so that the
band may be changed when neces-
sary.
sim another variety of hat band
was Ave inches wide, of natural
linen crash with vertical stripes in
rose, blue. orange, green. and violet.
These are set of by smaller stripes
of black. This costs $1.10 a yard and
Is wide enough to allow for draping
or pleating about the crown of the
hat.

not springs in 1918. She SAYS:
mo more conventions in larxe

business In a large city. Let's meet
next time In q place where we'll be
the whole show. We don't want half
our delegates going of to theaters
ana on shopping trips when there.
ana we don't want our important
deuberattons buried in the sersa.
