 nishings most of them realizing that cote for two.
 colored It all happened because Stockings girls will insist on wear Hoodooed ing light colored stock
 ings That Is. one young man of Fairbanks considers that light colored stockings are hoodoos, particularly yellow ones never again for him. For he lays all of his trou- bles to the fact that one of the two young ladies he was with wore yellow stockings. What l say is that he should have had more trouble than he did for having two girls when so many fellows are going begging But then, he has an auto mobile.
 It seems that the above men toned trio went out to one of the creek towns one evening last week One girl wore white stockings; the other the 'hoodoo" yellow kind Without mentioning the fact, of course. the young man made mental cal Culation after he had seen two pairs of trim ankles enveloped in white and yellow stockings. to the effect that if he got home that night with out an accident he would be lucky
 But such was not to be, although the accident which befell the young man and his machine was nothing compared to the troubles suffered by the girls and which the young man attributes to the yellow stock hnn1nn homo a mudhole was encountered and the little old Ford absolutely refused to climb out of it with all three people in it. The wheels would churn around all right under the impetus of the engine. until finally they let the axle of the car down into the mud
 Of course, there was nothing to do but get out and push, which the two girls proceeded to do. In the mean time the young man occupied the drivers seat and kept the machinery going The result was that one of the young ladies burned a hole in nice new coat by getting too near the engine exhaust while the other had her dress badly torn by a stick which flew up from under one of the swiftly revolving wheels.
 And her dress was not all that was torn according to all accounts, for the stick hit her with such force that it went entirely through her clothing and cut gash in one Of her limbs
 Wasn't II is not to be doubt'd Soaked As that Fred Douse does Supposed. look as if he had tan
 gled up with a buzz saw or something of the kind. For he has an eye on him which would do credit to a worlds champion af ter a championship battle in the ring. And the eye looks for all the world like it had stopped the busi- ness side of boxing glove which had been ripped open for the tE press purpose of barring knuckles.
 But such is not the case, accord ing to MT. Douse. For he says that the bad eye was caused by it's having come in contact with stick of wood. This statement will set at rest all fears of MT. DouSe's friends For MT. Douse Is a truth full man.
 Moves In There Is considerable Musical movement in the musl- Circles. cal circles just now,
 and it is probable that when all of it settles down, Fair banks will still have a choice lot of musical talent, both for teaching and for entertainments. The move ment Is caused by the arrival here from the Outside of new musicians and the resolve of others who spent the past winter here to leave Fair banks Then there are others who have decided to stay here and grow up with the country so to speak.
 The latest additions to the nu1n- bers of musicians here are Miss Mamie w. Harryhausen, of San Fran cisco, and MT. Rolf Brandt, of Port, land, Oregon. It is understood that both intend to remain here, both to teach and to work. In fact, Miss Harryhausen has already announced the opening of a studio.
 Miss Frances R. Boelen has like wise announced her intention to remain in Fairbanks to teach. She came to Fairbanks last summer di- rect from the New England Con servatory of Music, intending to spend a year with her mother and then go Outside to take up her work, having received several very flattering offers as teacher, but has now decided to remain here.
 On the other hand, there are two other musicians who it is under stood, will soon leave Fairbanks for the Outside. They are Sister Ee- ronica, of St Joseph's hospital, who has had a large piano class here, and Miss Clara White Cooley, who has likewise enjoyed the patronage of a large number of pupils. It is probable that after they leave, their pupils, if they wish to con tinue their musical studies, will take from one of the two young ladies who have decided to remain here.
 If Rolf Brandt decides to remain here he will probably be Fairbanks only violin1st next winter. For it is understood that Victor Durand, who is now at Tofty, likes that country so we'll that he is determined to stay there
 "Vic" Mente. the old standby, will, of course, remain here. For his picture show music is an absolute necessity. In fact, about all of his time is taken up with the picture shows and tuning pianos,
