Babe Ruth has a weakness. It is

or so one scribe opines.
In a recent article in a New York
paper one of the scribes pointed out
that Ruth's weakness is found in the
way he slides into bases, and it is a
fact that Babe cannot be called 4
graceful or finished slider" AS Ruth
starts to hit the dirt he puts his hand
beneath him to break the fall and
takes the pressure on his wrist, which
is not the best thing in the world for
player to do. Ruth injured his wrist

and Yankees in this way

Among the forty beautifully formed
women who will apear in the living
statuary during the performances of
the Barnum & Bailey circus in To-
peka Thursday afternoon and evening,
one figure will stand forth as the most
beautiful in form and grace. In the
center group, standing above the 9TH

the world as Seldom's Venus, will at
tract all eyes because of her art in
posing and the perfection of the pro-
portions of her body. She is a perfect
reproduction OF the Venus de Milo
with the exception that she is two
inches smaller in the waist and 4
fraction of an inch smaller in the
wrists.

practical to make each rafter into a

Whether a rafter Is solid or whether
it is made of openwork in truss fash

a new proposition in the curved hip

intersect.

A close examination of the photo

will be both interesting and instruc-

valley rafters are made very heavy.
Their curvature is, of course, not the
same as that of the common rafters,
but corresponds point for point the
same as a straight hip or valley cor

task is to lay out the diagram and
fashion the curves on this high scale.

OPEN NECKS WILL REAPPEAR
Warmer Weather Certain to Bring
More Comfortable Apparel Into
Use, According to Writer.

Many of the eton street dresses
are most attractive. They can be
worn over blOuses or over sleeveless
guimpeS or with the skeleton waist
coats referred to above. These waist
coats are being made of satin and fig
ured silks and of rich and beautiful
materials to give a touch of color to
the favorite dark blue costumes. For
everyday use, however, the simple
white blouse of washable satin or of
Organdie or of handkerchief lawn is
well liked, and a great many of these
blouses are made with the round col
lars that Once we Knew as Peter Pan,
although there is something of a ten
dency toward the revival of tine high
stock, and with the coming of the
warmer weather we shall see open
necks in generous numbers.
We will do a great deal for fashion
and we will do still more for the needs
of the country, observes a fashion
writer, but it is a proven fact that
women who have grown accustomed to
the comfort of the rolling collars are
exceedingly slow TO accept to any
great extent a fashion which calls for
swathed throats, for open necks have
conserved health as well as comfort,

WAlSTLINE AND NEW GOWNS
Stout Woman Need Not Dispair for
There Are Methods by Which Fig
ure May Be Transformed.

A waistline is an essential detail of
the newest gowns, notes a fashion
writer in the New York Herald. The
line may be straight, very much so,
especially at the back, but the girdle,
or belt, must be present in one form
or another. The effect of the straight
line is accomplished by the entire
elimination of gathers and fullness,
but the gown which hangs straight
from the shoulders, beltless, has rath-
err gone out. This is particularly OBJ
servable in, the gowns of voiles and
chiffons designed for afternoon wear.
Here draped skirts are seen. it is true.
but managed in such a that
the wearer's slenderness is accentu-
ated rather than Obscured. Possibly
! without exception this idea of draping
is in the thinner of materials; GER
tainly nothing heavier than satin and
usually of material thin enough tc
| show an underskirt closely fitting the
figure.
Whatever the skirt may be above,
at the hem it is always closer, making
more apparent the desired slimness.
i Even the stout need not de-
spair, for many and varied are the
methods by which her figure may be
transformed and made to appear al
most as much of a sylph as her more
slender sister.

Gothic roof barnS-those with curved
roofs in the form of a pointed arch
are getting to be quite common. There
are a few leaders among the farmers
in every community who occupy a con-
spicuous position and who favor the
unique or distinctive type Of farm
building for that reason. These like
the gothic oof barn. Even if the cost
should be q trifle more, they gladly
stand it because of the distinction
which a big barn of this type gives a
farmstead.
The L-shaped barn with a gothic
roof is not S common. Barn builders
have worked out a standard solution
to the roof-framing problem of the
gothic barn and it seldom gives trou-
BILE any more; but when the contractor

deed is the man who has both beauti-
full memories and plenty of the worlds
goods.
Perhaps you have wondered why old
people demand old songs. 1t is not
that they have a mean of discrimina-
ton whereby they feel that the songs
of long ago are better than the same
type of songs made today. Fifty years
from now people may cast the same
halo over the songs of today that the
old folks of today cast over "Alice,
Where Art Thou" "Juanita' and "Ben
Bolt"
What is It then that makes the old
songs hallowed? 1t is its wonderful
power of conjuring up memories-the
beautiful memories of the dear, dear
past. When grandma takes off her
glasses and quietly asks you to sing
one Of her old favorites, hunt it up at
once and let her have it over and over
again. 1t is the magic talisman which
will open the riches of her memoir to
her. AS you sing

Afternoon Dresses and Lingerie
FrockS to Be Worn.
American Loom Products Are Now
Taking the Place of Weaves That
Were Formerly Imported.

Lace afternoon dresses and lingerie
frocks are to be worn this spring, ac-
cording to some indications. At an ex-
hibiton held recently some of the most
attractive gowns made from or in COM
bination with American-made laces
were shown.
The adaptability of the American
manufacturer was here very clearly
demonstrated, for the @ces included
most of the best known varieties
cluny, venise, net and fhet.
AS to the gowns, they could honestly
be called successful. One especially at
tractive model had a one-sided draped
waist which showed The lace under and
over the chiffon which was used for
the gown.
Lingerie dresses are in flesh colOred
and pale tinted fabrics, and tinted as
well as white laces are used with them
also little insects of embroidery for
summer wear are the voiles and tinted
~voiles, with soutache braiding in pat
terns which are conventional in design
for the most part, no matter how much
ground they may
For trotter frocks and street wear in
general, are frOcks of silk jersey, some
of which show a clever use of fiat
braid, applied closely in rows. Dark
blue, taupe and black are the usual
colOrs, and the braiding usually
matches rather than contrasts with the
dress. Button-up-the-back dresses,
wide braided girdles and models with
of this seasons gowns, just as you
choose to look at it.
L Pongee was used for a spring suit,
. which was embellished with braiding
and further boosted of a dotted foul
ard vest, with the conventional points
in the front. The braiding ran up and
down both sides of the front and
around on the skirt part of the coat,
In spite of all this decoration the col
ors matched exactly except for the
white spots on the vest, and the sim
pie lines helped to give the desired all
Of simplicity.
Midnight blue satin was the material
chosen for a three-piece suit which was
cut with a short bObbed-Off Elton jacket
and wide sleeves cut off at the wrists
The crepe was used again for the tor
of the dress, which was straight VI
and down and ~cOllarless. Cuffs ant
collar on the jacket were of p~eacocI
blue, and worn with this costume was
a hat covered with peacock feathers.

Frivolous Hats.

With her costumes in dark co1ors,
the Parisienne is wearing a hat of
some frivolous shade, and a soft rose
is first in favor.
These hats are made of velvet; the
material is shirred on the brim, some
times with long silk stitches which
show plainly. The crowns are unusual
ly high and the trimming of the SIM
plest.
They are worn sc far down OF the
head that they completely the
eyebrows.
We must learn to recognize each
feminine acquaintance by her nose.
That is all the mode permits us to see.
Hats down and collars up Is the order,
and the effect is almost as %concealing
as that of a gas mask.

MAY DARN NET IN COLORS
Numerous Articles, Both Dainty and
Attractive, Are Made From This
Variety Of Needlework.

Can you appreciate the artistry that
lies in colOred darning on f1let mesher
net? There are any number of lovely
things which can be made from this va
riety of needlework.
For instance, wouldn't oatmeal taste
better from a breakfast set showing OBJ
long inserts of fine net darned in col
ors and showing a cheerful daisy de-
sign in yellow, brown and green?
Or what about a bOudoir pillow
with a cunning little brown basket of
~variegated flowers splitting over it's
edges. the handle tied with blue rib
bon to a garland of the flowers.
Runners for the buffet or dressing
table a be treated to end inserts
or whole borders of the same darned
net. 1t is such an easy thing to do,
as it a follow any cross stitch or
flet pattern. 1t is best to use an en-
broidery hoop to hold the net in shape,
as the work is done on the net before
1t is inserted into the material. Use

Then, too, they were anxious to see
how it would turn out and whether
Miss Rhinoceros or Mrs. R~hinoceros
would win.
They didn't see how either one
could-for they were both indeed of
the same family, they had come from
the same country, and now they were
both in the zoe.
Tn very well-behaved and gentle,"
said Miss Rhinoceros.
'"The same is equally true of me-"
answered Mrs. R~hinoceros.
Il was carried on poles from my
home near the lake in Africa to a big
steamer, and 1 travelled by the sea to
ONE to this country"
"The same as I did," said Mrs.
R%hinoceros.
Now both of them were pleasant,
but the other animals feared there
would be a great fight following this,
and yet they both kept on talking.
| Each boosted of what experiences
each had had, and neither Miss Rhi-
noceros nor Mrs. Rhinoceros seemed
to have had one the other hadn't had.
The animals thought the converse
ton would end nowhere at all, and
ton to other matters, food and such
things, when suddenly Miss Rhonoce-
ros screamed out: 81 have had one
more experience than you have had.
Yes, I have. I'm sure of it. Quite
quite, quite sure.'
"Tell me of it," said Mrs. Rhinoce-
ros. She seemed to doubt very much
that Miss Rhinoceros could tell her
of any experience she hadn't had. And
no wonder she was still more firmly
convinced of this idea, because in all
their talk, no matter what Miss Rhi-
noceros had said, Mrs. Rhinoceros had
been able to say the same.
81 will tell you of it, and that most
quickly said Miss Rhinoceros.
All the animals listened once more.
They felt from the way Miss Rhinoce-
ros had spoken that surely this time
something interesting was forthcoming.
And they didn't want to miss anything
worth While. They had been listen
ing to too much that hadn't amounted
TO anything, though they had learned
a lot about the lives of the Rhinoceros
family in Africa and how they were
captured for this land, carried between
poles as Miss Rhinoceros had said.

Rh~inoceros.

The animals all looked very sad
There was nothing to this after all.
"And l had many dressings" said
Miss Rhinoceros.
$50 did l." repeated Mrs. Rhinoce
ros.
But my jaw was beyond the point
where dressings could help it. 1 was
operated upon. 1 took queer smelling
stuff that put me sound asleep, ant
then they fixed me all up. I've beer

81 don't believe that any of you,"
said Miss R~hinoceros, looking about
her, shave had the many and interest
ing experiences 1 have had"
Now none of the other animals in
the different houses of the zoo knew
all of Miss Rhinoceros' experiences. so
they really could not answer her when
she said she had had more interesting
experiences than they had had.
They all looked at her, open-mouth-
ed, but did not say a word.
Finally Mrs. Rhinoceros, who lived
next door in the zoo, spoke up and
this is what she said:
81 don't see why you a brag any
more than 1 cam. We are both of
the same family, we both have the
same habits and ways"
81 came from Africa" said Miss
Rhinoceros.

Now all the animals listened atten-
lively to this argument. They felt
sure it would be very interesting.
