The Mystery Explained,

Clifton Hess, an employee of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Shelbyville
Ind, relates the Indianapolis News
looked out the window of the freight
depot the other day and noticed q
woman. A half hour later he looked
again and still saw the woman. She
had changed her position only slightly
moving down the railroad track a few
feet. She seemed to be strolling leIs
urely along, covering about a foot O
minute.
Curious to determine the reason fol
her actions, Hess walked outside te
get a better view. Then II was all
explained. The woman had q bic
Rhode Island Red rooster with q
string tied to his leg. There had
evidently been lcaky car Of wheat
along the railroad, and the rooster, OBJ,
livious to all else, was calmly filling
his craw while the woman kept up
with the procession.
Later on during the day the good
news must have spread, for there an.
peared on the scene several other
chickens with owners attached ia
them by strings. AS the ground be.
came clean the procession SLOWLY
moved from view.

If there is a combination with moro
novel features than this attractive suit
and hat, it has not as yet found it's
way before the public eye. Almost
every gnishing touch on the suit brings
some new point of beauty into play.
The features arc multitudinous, and
none Of them freakish. The collar of
fur that hugs the chin and extends
high up in the back in a new mode
that is bound to please the best
dressers. The sleeve that blossoms
into it's fullness past the elbow, with
1ur creeping around the edge, and the
belt are other noteworthy style adj
Vances. The suit is made of brown
chiffon velvet and the artistic designs
OF blue and gold embroidery are the
1nal touches of exquisite charm. The
nat with its broad wings lifts the en-
tire combination into the realms of
ultra style. The fur on the crown
makes for piQuant beauty.
