Dame Rumor Says
Men Are to Wear
Knee Pants Again
BY MARGARET RoNE

NEW YORK.-The coming year
promises to be wide open season
indeed for calves.
Feminine ones have been cavorting
around unhampered by the mere de-
tail of a skirt long enough to hide
their curves until the men have be-
come nearly desperate for an oppor-
tunity to show that they have a per-
fectly good understanding of what's
nifty in the mode themselves. Now
they are about to burst forth in all
their 'opulence with knee breecIles as
a. first aid to calf emancipation.
At least that is the rumor that is
going round and though we have been
threatened- with a return of these
erstwhile popular small clothes, al
most every year that somehow failed
to materiaIize this time it really
looks as if they would come true.
Just calling to mind off-handedly the
vision of your male friends and rela-
tives in bathing suits or golf toys it
would seem as if this threatened
pantie shortening were going to be
an awful blow to aesthetic art.
Still there is always the comforting
assurance that, talthough according
to Ellis Parker Butler, "pige is pigs"
calves are not always calves and
that often a silk stocking covers
multitude of symmetricals as they
say in the profession.
And then there is all the color ex-
element that King Alphonso has
started with his new lavender
clothes. It's quite natural for the
Spanish monarch to don half-mourn-
ing for the Ringing business which is,
now almost as dead as a door nail
but whether other less regal males
will adopt the purple mauve and vio
lent violet tints as the color scheme
for their 1920 outfits is a question
that is still an open one at the time
Of going to press. Mark Twain tried
mighty hard to make white the smart
background of the modish male and
someone else. forget just who, es-
sayed to put over dark blue. Now
along comes Alphonso with a little
dash of lavender, and if there is
anything in the saying that ''the
thirds the charm purple panties
ought to be a go.

Tongues Of Gossip DrIve
Missouri -At0rney From
Home to South AmerICa

ST. JOSEPH, Mo.-FTom gossip,
which for nearly four years has
bounded him, Oscar d. Mcdaniel fled
months ago.
With his wife and two children,
this man. the most talked-of in the
city, vanished utterly. Detectives
now report that he has been traced
to a South American city, but it is
doubtful whether he will ever be
brought back to straighten out the
tangled money matters which wound
up his local career
Pursued by Memories
Pursuing the Mcdaniel family are
the memories of an appalling series
of crimes and catastrophes. Before
them all Mcdaniel kept his nerve
until he saw his children tortured by
the gossip which their playmates
freely repeated, but which no adult
dared voice in McDanieFs presence.
1t was in 1916 that the first Mrs.
Mcdaniel was found murdered in her
home. Mcdaniel, then prosecuting
attorney of Buchanan county, was
pitied by the entire comm unity-un-
til the gossip began.
Gossip was ugly and presently a
warrant was issued for Mcdaniel
and he was tried on the charge of
killing his wife. Not once did he
finch, and his complete composure
convinced his little circle of loyal
friends that he was guiltless. He
was acquitted.
More Gossip Coces
AS he was struggling to relnstate
himself, gossip was given ammuni-
ton for another terrific assault on
Mcdaniel
Gossip had associated his name for
some time with that of Mrs. Dagmar
Krucker. Her husband killed her,
then turned the gun on himself and
died.
Mcdaniel withstood that storm of
gossip, and started another when he
married the daughter of C. A. Cook,
vino had been one of the principal
witnesses for the defense in his trial.
The bride and groom, with two
children by the former marriage,
went to live in the Mcdaniel home
where the first Mrs. Mcdaniel had
been slain
Mcdaniel Rome Burns
Gossip apparently could not hurt
them.
One night the dwelling burned, and
Mcdaniel lowered his wife and chill
dren from an upper window saving
their lives by narrow margin.
Gossip again! and superstition add

Reduction IN | nice Of
Butter, Lard, Eggs, In
Prospect, Says Manget

Immediately reductions in the
prices of butter and lard and the
prospect for an early decline in the
price of eggs are announced by John,
A. Mangret, fair-price commissioner
for Georgia.
Butter. which has remained sta
tion-ry at seventy-eight cents, for
come time, is reduced to seventy
seven cents. Lard, both pure and
compounds. drops from thirty-one
to twenty-nine cents. Lard was
thirty-four cents not so long ago.
Teh new scale became effective
Tuesday.
Eggs were due for a decline when
the present cold snap arrived, accord
ing to Marion Jackson, assistant to
the commissioner, and as soon as the
wealth r moderates a reduction likely
will BE ordered

ed it's whisper to the kissing torrent
Of bitter words.
Then the Mcdaniel children be-
came old enough to feel the cruelty
of the boys and girls who started
them in the school yard and the
streets. They came home every day
in tears.
One day they were absent from
school. Other days passed, and
they did not appear. Questions were
asked.
Gossip gasped for breath, and re-
sumed.
Gossip Drove Him Out
1t is said that Mcdaniel sold per-
sonal property for about $4,000, and
left owing one bank $4,000 and nu-
merous tradesmen various amounts.
although up until that time his cred
IL had been carefully maintained.
1t is generally believed that he at
last. retreated, precipitateIy, before
gossip, using all of his legal ingenu-
ity to make good the escape of him
self and family.

Fits of Temper

Just why Mr.. Wilson wanted the
whole boat to himself, people
couldn't understand nor was it COM
Drehensible why the president al
lowed only a handful of people to
accompany him on the return jour
ney and left lots of space in the ves-
sci which it had been thought would
be occupied by returning troops But
the boat was only half filled when it
started from Brest and the only ex-
PLANTATION which anybody could de-
duce from the strange demeanor of
the president was that he wanted
to be alone and didn't want to be
annoyed.
Instances, trivial, indeed, could be
cited to show that the president was
weighed down by official burdens to
an extent that the public has little
known and that gradually he has de
veloped an irritability which has not
been known except to the Inner cir
Gle. Twice on the western trip which
he took Immediately after his return
from Europe the president showed
his temper.
In st. Louis, just as he was about
to begin his speech at night pho
tographer took a flashlight. Now Mr..
Wilson had that happen to him many
times before but on this occasion he
blurted out angrily, I'VE ought not to
care how we look but how we act"
and the crowd which had been anus
ed as it always is bya sudden flash
light picture, stopped it's laughter
abruptly and wondered.
Again, at Salt Lake, a fortnight
later the president was talking about
article ten and asked a rhetorical
questionable kind that the crowd
isn't supposed to answer, but Mr..
Wilson'S delivery was so forceful
and he had been getting such enthu-
Slastic applause at the end of almost
every sentence that somebody ap-
piauded in the wrong place. I am
sure it was unintentional, the pres
ident stopped short and issued an
angry rebuke in the direction from
which the applause came-better
walt till you hear it all, before you
applaud-was his reprimand and the
crowd wondered.
Time was when Mr.. Wilson school
ed himself to repress his temper

tied him in the White House he got
his dander up, but usually the steno-

Ugly Girls Make Best
Dancers. Saws Observer

CHICAGO.-Hope for the homely
girls and tip for dancing young
men are offered by Louis Guyon, pro-
prietor of the largest dance palace in
Chicago, when he declared that the
homely girls dance much better than
their pretty sisters. AS boss of a
dancing floor on which thousands of
both ugly and pretty girls do the hop,
skip, jump, drag, crawl and squirm
of the new dances, he has observed
closely, he says, and declares that
he knows whereof he speaks.
Says Guyon: ugly girls make the
best dancers. They are more graceful
than pretty girls because they are
more serious and work harder to
make up for their lack of facial
beauty. Pretty girls are lazy and
indifferent as a rule. They are apt
to be conceited." H..
