A Mysterious Window Breaking.

About noon Tuesday while Mrs.
Becker and Mrs. DR.. Parrish. were
looking at a display in the big east
window of the Jamison store rock
force, punctured the thick glass and
struck Mrs. Parrish on the ankle
with the force of a spent cannon
ball. 1t is mystery as from whence
the missile came. Just at the time
an auto went south on the paved
street at a rapid rate. 1t is presum-
ed that the pebble, a boulder about
the size of a walnut had slipped from
the rapidly moving car tire in such
manner as to give it the momentum
of a bullet. Since the pane is pune
tured near the base a great force
must have been required TO Dreak
the thick glass.
Mrs. Parrish is suffering from a
badly bruised ankle.-Osceola Sen

Some Hints For Use of Sugar ana
SyrupS.

From l II to i u cups OF syrup
are required for each quart when
Jars are closely packed with unc9ok,
ed fruit. The jars should be Tiled
only u to q inches of top IT, pre-
vent loss of syrup. Fruits MATURING
in very wet season are so juicy that
they require less water for Jelly
making. u,,r
resulting from any combination OF
sugar and water, add half the
amount of sugar to the amount OF
water used, e. G., two cups OF sugar
and three cups of water make tour
quarts of syrup.
Sugar goes farther when added to
hot fruits or made into syrup before

that the rep is heavy fabric and
the sleeves are long instead of ell

pointed pockets and the wide belt
with scalloped band across the front
make the accessories part of the
neat effect of the design. Other mnte-
rials-all those that have sufficient

or canton crepe-might be used for
a dress of this kind.
1t is the part of patriotism to use
cotton or linen for school dresses or
to remodel the discarded wool dresses

dress the little maid pictured above is
fortunate in her smoothly braided hair

the results of their efforts to the mer-

There was a great gathering of
handsome new coats ut the style
show, but this airplane coat was the
most interesting of them all. Are
we really about 10 fly and 10 need Il
special kind of coat for doing it? Or,
firmly CONVINCED that we will never
get our courage up to the flying point,
are we going to have to forego this
wonderful new achievement in coats?
We are not. 1t may be long time
before we soar in an airship, but an
airplane coat will shortly be among

Its most distinguishing feature is
