 It is good plan to stitch around the tops of new stockings on the, sew ing machine just at the edge of the hem or double top. They say this prevents ladders from running down the stockings n a thread is broken by the supporters.
 A woman who wears gi1er dresses badly under the arms will do well to reinforce that part of the waist. A

WHEN MARY CAME" TO TOWN

/ Mile sped away, but too late, for the
citizens of Santa Cruz followed in
every form of vehicle Side-bar bug
gies struggled for supremacy in the
wake Of fleeing cars; motorcycles
crowded bicycles into the ditch; far In
the rear a perspiring little tike on
velocipede pedaled frantically in the
dust Of the pursuing thousands.
Arriving at the location the company
went through every scene before the
eyes of the vast throng. The crowd
made no attempt to encroach upon the
scenes, but stood or sat respectfully
and feasted their eyes. An enterpris-
ing passenger agent of one Of the rail
roads hearing that the Pickford COM
pany was to remain in Santa Cruz for
several days sent out announcements
all along the line, and every day fol
lowing, trainloads of people arrived
and were driven to the location by
automobile owners who rapidly ap-
preached opulency, and there, with
their basket lunches, sat under the
trees and watched the scenes.
There is probably not a person with
in a radius of hundred and fifty

in Santa Cruz, was pursued by an ad-
