r THINK for a little girl Of her age
/ Mary Altemus has one Of the pref
tiest costumes I've seen for long time.
II il n cream q lored skirt and cape
and n round sports hat Of the same ma
teriaI sits iauutily on her head. The
nlainness of the cream material Is
broken BY a pin stripe plaid about an
inch square in very dark blue or black.
It's so dark one cannot be sure OF the
color. and the effect of the costume is
lirht, SO the color Of the stripe does not
matter. 1t is awfully smart! MRS.
Altemus certainly knows how to, dress
her daughter as well as she dresses
herself. She was out at the pony snow
the other afternoon with Mary and was
wearing stunning gown OF oieSk
satin siashed with orange. From the
shoulders fell two panels like Roman
scarfs. Her small black toque was
trimmed with two long crystal hatpins
which gave it just the right finish.
A CERTAIN man you know, ana
n know, had to 80 south on ousi-
ness trip the other day; and when two
fashionably dressed women entered the
Pullman and sat across the aisle he
happened to notice the very handsome
fur coat that one took off and hung up
back of her chair. He thought to him
self, "That's Just the kind of a coat
that Mary (his wife) has been want
ing" Then he turned to his paper and
did not look about again till the train
stopped ut a junction for passengers to
change to a waiting train for another
direction. He noticed that the women
arose, collected their bags and things
and went out and was just about to
take to his reading again when he saw
the coat hanging there.
He jumped to his feet, grabbed 1t up
and rushed from the car just In time
to see the junction train starting OIL
A porter happened to be on the back
platform, so the gallant man threw the
coat to him, saying, "Those ladies left
IT,"
Back he went and started once more
TO read his paper when the conductor
came in and began looking about.
He turned to the man and said, Sir,
did you notice fur coat around here?'
Yes, indeed" said our hero. 81 saw
1t just after those ladies left, and 80 /
ran with 1t to the train and threw it to
the porter, telling him to give it to
them
What" cried the conductor, why,
they Just moved to other chairs in the
neIt Pullman"
OF course, after ipnumerable tele-
grams the woman got her coat again,
but could you blame the gallant hero
Tor leaving to the tender mercies of the
conductor an old lady who asked him,
as he left the car at his destination,
Please. sir, my leg Is very stif, will
yon help me on to the step Of the carr"
Thank you, madam, no." replied he,
t-l think won't, it-it-er-might
come of, you know"
