Several Folks Are Puzzled.

Several folks were puzzled, very
much puzzled. Farmer Brown was
puzzled. Mrs. Brown was puzzled.
Farmer Browns Boy was puzzled:
Jimmy Skunk was puzzled. And all
were puzzled by the same thing. Yes.
sir, all were puzzled by the same thing.
Jimmy Skunk was in Farmer Browns
cellar. 1t had been easy enough to get
in there. But how was he to get out
again? That is the thing that was
puzzling all of them.
Now Jimmy Skunk wasn't one bit
more anxious to get out of that cellar
than Farmer Brown and Mrs. Brown
and Farmer Browns Boy were to have
Jimmy to eat down there there was a
great deal that others wanted to eat.
but which they couldn't get while Jim
my was there because-we11. to tell
the truth they didn't dare go down to
get those things they wanted and need
ed while Jimmy was there. They were
afraid Of that little bag Of scent he
always carries with him and Is so ready
to use If he thinks that any harm is
intended. They didn't want to harm
Jimmy, but they were afraid he would
think they did. which would amount
to the same thing.

Farmer Browns Boy. you leave the

perhaps Jimmy Skunk will come up the

But Mrs. Brown just threw up her
hands in dismay at the very idea. 1t
was bad enough to have Jimmy in the
cellar. AS for giving him chance
to get into her kitchen, even If only

To retain the straight line frock,

for the past two seasons and still make
1t new and distinctly of the 1917-1S vim
tage is a task that fashion designers
have struggled nightly with during
two or three months. Many attractive
styles have resulted. and perhaps an
equal number that are not attractive.
The ultra-tight skirt, on dresses in any
event, Is not approved. and comfortable
fullness is let in either through the
medium of pleats or gathers.
The dress shown in the sketch would
develop extremely well in velvet or
velveteen, If it is to be a real winter
dress. If for earlier wear velvet or
veiveteen might be used for the bodice

Farmer Brown proposed that he take

the fall and winter season, but variou:
braids are also favored, and pipings ir

Revolution in Decoration.

Poiret saw in this famous workshop
the germ of a revolution in interior
decoration. With his superhuman en-
ergy, he instantly transferred a minia-
ture workshop of his own from Vienna
to Paris, set 1t up on the Rue Saint
Honore and called it MARITIME: and
through this wide field of artistic work
he impressed upon all of France and
white Squares. black velvet curtains
and couch covers. and q bewildering
display of gorgeous oriental cushions.
When Poiret came to America Just
before the war he brought these deco
rative ideas with him. and now. through
the medium of a half dozen well known
interior decorators, we get the extraor-
binary color schemes with fiat designs
and a strong mixture of black for
which Poiret stands.
He admits the source of his tnspira-
ton. but, like all men who are able to
apply in a wholesale and vtrile man
ner the inventions of others, he gets
from the world the credit for the revo-
luton.
things that he developed for the house
in new schemes of color his artistic
nature sp1ashed over on perfumery and
the bottles in which it should be held.
He went to the cradle of civilization
tory in his garden in the Avenue dan
tin behind his great house which con-
fronts that thoroughfare. and there he
concocted those sensuous perfumes Of
the east which bear the name of his
eldest child. MARITIME.
After he had done this he turned his

So if the moving picture concerns
are deprived of their stars, their cam
era men and their office men, who
will be left to make pictures with?
OF course, the film concerns will keep
on manufacturing pictures, but the
nature of the stories will have to be
changed. We will have to forget for
the time being Douglas Fairbanks,
Jack Mulhall, Warren Kerrigan,
Bushman ard Jack Pickford- We will
have to forget them until this conflict
is over.
And in heir stead we will accept
the stories of older men and older ro
mances and the moving picture actor
who has a large family and who is
past the juvenile age will necessarily
become the star. OF course, the patri-
otto public will understand and will
patronize the pictures just the same
tomorrow as they did yesterday.
So the effect, perhaps, will be Sc

made, but it will all right itself and
the problem, tho serious, will only be
temporarily serious and moving pic
