SHERIFF AND POSSE
HAD HORRlBLEl TIME
CHASING BANDITS

Miami, Sept 27.-Dirty, ragged and
unspeakably tired, Sheriff Dan Hardie
and his posse came back to Miami
from Key Largo and vicinity where
for the past week they have pursued
the trail of the four bandits who
robbed the State Bank at Homestead
and later killed three of the posse.
/ Sheriff Hardie went at once to his
home. The dog didn't know him, the
ltcat ran from him, his wife wouldn't
let him in the house, and his two boys
Thought a tramp was approaching.
,Soon the sheriff made himself known
and was joyfully received.

To al the day with golden Joy
All summer long tho Merry Little
Breezes Of Old Mother West Wind had
played on the Green Meadows and in
the Green Forest. To dance and play
was what they were made for. At
least that II what they seemed to think.
Why any one should work was some
thing they couldn't understand. in
spite Of the fact that Old Mother West
Wind herself worked every day. When
early In the morning she would turn
them out Of her big bag to play they
would watch her 60 away to turn the
windmills that pumped the water for
the cows. to blow white-sailed ships
across the distant ocean. to sweep
away tho smoke from great cities. and
they would wonder yhy she did these
things when It was so much easier to
Just do nothing at ALL or to romp and
pay.
But even playing becomes tiresome,
especially when nobody WILL play with
you. And now that the busy autumn
had come there was no one to play
with. Everybody was too busy to play.
So it came about that the Merry Little
Breezes. because they could think Of
nothing else to do. offered to help
Striped Chipmunk, Of whom they are
very fond. They offered to shake down
nuts from the trees that he might

other branch and down showered more

branches and rolling under the brown
leaves on the ground. 1t was great
fun. It seemed as If those bright eyes
of Striped Chipmunk saw where every
nut rolled to. OF course they didn't,
but those they didn't see his keen lit
tie nose found, so it amounted to the
same thing.

Novelties for the Workbag.

The woman who goes about with a

has done much to make her so. for
before knitting came in there had been
many years of comparatively little do
ing Of needlework among US. Not that
knitting lie needle work. But knitting
has brought renewed interest I'm handi-
work of all sorts and now workbags
are so lovely that nobody can resist
them.
The autumn shops are full of interest
ing things to embroider and make. One
is a baby's shoebag, which would make
a charming gift for baby's first
Christmas Christmas when the baby
itself is not old enough to appreciate
toys and when a gift that appeals to
its mother is always acceptable. This
bag is to hang on door or wall. It is
made of heavy white material, and
there are two sections, one above the
other, each containing pockets for three
pairs of little boots or shoes. Embroid-
cred letters across the top announce
that it is for baby's shoes.
Fringe is in fashion, and 1t has in
vaded the realm Of art needlework
Some of the new sofa cushions, which
would make admirable gifts for the
boy or girl away at college, are Of heavy
tan linen or crash, embroidered in con-
ventiona1 designs in bright colors, and
finished with wide tan cotton fringe.
For the young housekeeper, a useful
gift is luncheon set, all in one piece,
consisting of centerpiece and four plate
doilies attached. in the form of Greek
cross. This is embroidered in various
designs. and in either rwhite or colors.
Boudoir caps are good gifts for young
girls. A new embroidered sort is made
in the style Of Dutch cap, with the
embroidery in Delft blue or in black, on
sheer white muslin ground.
A pretty card table cover Is made OF
heavy white linen, with a spread pack
Of cards in each corner. embroidered In
black and red.
For the women who travel q corset
bag. long, narrow washable bag en-
broidered with the word "Corsets," is
useful. These bags can also be used to
hold corsets in the bureau drawers OF
closet shelves.
Many of the new workbags that car
be made Of silk or cretonne show cords
| instead of ribbons. with fringed tassels
as finish.

With or Without the Train.

While It is quite true that several
of the leading evening frocks touch the
floor .in front. it must be confessed that
the most brilliant OF them are short
enough to show the ankles. They drop
down at the sides and they often have
long train in back, but the general
impression is that the designers are
not quite courageous enough to let the
whole hem rest on the floor.
Women who have extra short dane
ing skirts are already adding double
bands of chiffon or silver lace to
lengthen them. and many are adding
colored trains detached from the back
of the skirt and attached at the waist
or under the shoulder blades with an
ornament. Even the empire frocks that
do not have trains are perceptibly
longer than they have been for three
seasons.
The sketch shown today is a gown
worn by Ann Murdock in her new play
and 1t represents the silhouette which
may prevail among the younger set. 1t
is of tulle, covered with jeweled en-
broidery that is part of the medieval
needlework that has been constantly
featured on French gowns since the
season began. The skirt, while full,
clings to the figure, feature OF FASH
ion which is growing stronger every
hour.
Nothing must fare. No petticoat
must be used that has the slightest
tendency to hold the skirt away from
the figure We are coming back to
the first part of the nineteenth CEN
tury, which represented a tumble of
early Italian. earlier Greek, splendid
Roman and Napoleontc lines and orna-
nients.
