nj prospective purchasers OF major
i and minor league baseball clubs
were as scarce as ice cream soda water
psrlors in the Sahara desert Now the
baseball woods are all cluttered up
with folks who arc cunning for fran
chises-at amy old price.
The settling Of the war is the reason.
There are many persons who think that
peace will bring about prosperous con-
ditions i'm a baseball way. They want
to grab off a bit Of that prosperity by
owning a bali club and they are bid
ding from 20 to so per cent more for
ball clubs than the asked price Of
year ago.
But those owners who were eI-
tremely anxious to get out Of baseball
a year ago now are just as anxious to
finger. They weathered two years Of
war and suffered huge losses They are
hopeful that profits in 1916 and the
other years to come Will wipe out the
deficit Of those two years and enable
them 20 reap a golden harvest
Huge Prices Demanded
Therefore, the club owners now have
doubled the former price they placed
on their club. Harry Sinclair wanted
the Giants and offered $1,500,00O for

Sleeveless
Nighties Are
Ankle Short
BY MARGARET MASON.
Sleeveless nighties. ankle short
Are the new alluring sort;
In them Sues so sweet a sight,
'Tis a shame to douse the light.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-The newest
nighties are bound to be a source of
ycXation to those unfortunates whose
vaccinations are thus laid bare either
by the lack of sleeve or the lack Of
length. But who can deny that they
are adorable? 1t takes little material
but lots OF art to evolve tnem and a
little nerve and lots OF charm to weas'
'em. About the only way you can tell
and nights Is by inches. The chemise Is
cut just above the knee and the nightie
Just below It.
1t is true that most of the nghties
actually blush for their own shortcom-
ings, and this beautifui blush pink dyes
them whether they be of sheer batistc,
crepe de chcne or the new wash satin.
1t takes lots of sibilants to describe
them and but little else-sheer, short,
sleeveless and simple will do the work.
and there you have it. Just to be con-
sistentlv short in every respect the
new nighties are also short wasted and
the empire waist line is shown on all the
smartest models. Narrow lace edgings
outlining the arhlholes and low neck
line: briar stitching in pink or blue,
touches of shocking or embroidery In
pink or blue are all the ornamentations
pei Imissiblc on these chastc little sleep
ing garments of the moment They
must be highly hygienic, allowing az
they do for so much fresh air, but one
shudders to think how soon these ducks
of njghteS will become an extinct spc-
cies along with the DO Do Bird and
other rara avis If they keep on dwind-
ling away to nothing in this reckless
way they have begun.
AS for caps to top the disheveled
matutinal locks of milady fair. they
are getting reckless. too. Time was
when a boudoir cap meant a coquettish
little morsel of ribbon and lace and net
or at most, pastel tinted bits of chiffon
or crepe de chine. Nowadays one must

but impersonally toward the man
who comes to talk TO mother about
my stomach which IL the wa" in
which one of my visits was sum-
med UP by an observing youngster
not long ago?'
Confidence of Patient.
There Is so much in the way of
prevention, which may be done If Il
doctor has the confidence of his little
patients, 30 much In the way of cor
recting bad habits. How many
mothers, for instance, think of ask
ing the questions that trained
specialist, can ask simply because
they attach no Importance to such
things?
"Of course they call-us in post
haste when the child has a cold or
a fever, or a broken arm, but then
they remain to tell us how it hap
pened, how it might have been pre-
vented. and how, at that minute,
time Is lost, mistakes in Judgment
made. As a physician. | am almost
ready to admit 1t. because We cam
not get information at IN 81 hand.
Il cannot say to a nervous mother:
Madam, will you kindly leave the
room while talk to this child, who
must know more about how he feels
than you or | possibly can | do
send them trotung on impossible >r-
rands sometimes" he admitted with
a grim smile.
I'm passing this conversation on to
all the mother l know. For it
contains an element of common
sense which no doubt the majority
OF them have overlooked.
A sick child does need deal of
coaXing at times; an i'll child needs
TO be reasoned with gently by an
expert who knows lust what nccCS-
Sary questions to ask.
And when We pay n man for hay
ing that skill. il dos sccm rather
unfortunate that VIC hrmnor him IN
his task. now. doesn't it?
