killed and the owner of the team mir
aculously saved from death, occurred

other alternative than steering the
horses directly toward the postofice,
between a telegraph pole and the
fountain in front of the building. Both
horses dashed up the stone steps and
fell, the inner horse striking it's head
against the steps and becoming
caught under the heavy wagon. 1t

'LOVEOF PRAISE
HANDICAPSSEX
So Says Noted Psychologist
In Magazine Article on
Woman.

Woman's most serious handicap
lies in her instructive craving for
appreciation, according to the noted
psychologist, Edward H. Reede, who
attempts an analysis of the femi-
nine mind in the November issue
of the Suffragist, official organ Of
the National Woman's party.
The purely thinking mind is fun
damentally alike in both sexes.
There is no foundation for the ira
ditional inferiority of the femi-
nine intellect" explains Mr.. Reede.
The great handicap is apparent
first the craving of the little girl
for parental appreciation; then of
the maiden for the appreciation Of
her suitors; and then the mature
woman for the appreciation Of her
husband or of her employer.
1T is in the business world that
this tendency is the greatest ham
dicap to women. Shrewd employ
ers of women know that well-timed
appreciation and praise will often
be an entirely satisfactory substi-
tute for a raise in salary or the
payment of q just wage.
Such methods would never be
attempted with q man, for, gener-
ally speaking, when a man is get
ting the thing he most desires
whether it is money or some other
object-he docs not care a hang for
the approval 6r disapproval OF any
one. This is true even of consci-
entious men, when their own con-
science approves their course.
Whether this sensitiveness 20
criticism will cause women TO raise
the standard of political morality
remains to be seen. There is good
reason to hope it will"

FASHION GUIDE
BFAIRY BOOK
Copy Cat of Ages Steals Gin,
derella Stuff This Year,
Says Writer.
BY wINIFRED VAN DUzER.

New York, Oct. 2s.-Once upon a
time someone concocted a story of
a lovely princess who wore a gown
of solid silver and danced in gilt
tering glass slippers.
And fashion, which ever has been
a copy cat, flched the silver and
crystal from pages of romance and
today craftily placed them within
one of Fifth avenues show windows
for all the world to see and desire.
And. as II one act of vandalism
were not enough, fashion also stole
the glory OF a peacock and the fas-
cination of a basking cobra and
made gowns Of each for the adorn-
msnt OF madsme's evening self.
They all are to be seen among
the offerings of the most exclusive
and fashionable OF modistes, these
three gowns, and probably not since
style dictatorship Of the country
centered within a few squares each
way from Fifth avenue and Fifty
seventh street has anything SO gor-
geous been upon display here.
The silver gown which fashion
has evolved from the tale of the
fairy princess is a slender, SHIN
mering thing. graceful as a dagger
blade. Silver tissue is substituted
for the tabled solid metal, and 1t is
fashioned in a low-corsaged, short
skirted sheath. Wired panniers OF
silver lace, caught by medallions
Of monkey fur, are the only trim
ming.
The peacock gown undoubtedly
was stolen from the king OF those
birds. Otherwise there could be no
such melting OF royal blues, all set
in seQuins upon outlines Of teath-
ers, upon grass chiffon. The gown
is fashioned very simply, with a
sleeveless bodice blousing slightly
over a short skirt.

Two men sat on a stringer of n
North River pier in the city of New
York. A steamer from the tropics
had begun to unload bananas and
oranges on the pier. Now and then
a banana or two would fall from
an overripe bunch, and one OF the
two men would shamble forward,
seize the fruit and return to share
IT with his companion.
+ One of the men was in the ul-
innate stage of deterioration. As
far as rain and wind and sun could
wreck the garments he wore. 1t

TWO RECALLS

THERE remains three duties to

tain falls upon the patched comedy.
Two have been promised; the third
is no less obligatory.
1t was set forth in the program
OF this tropic vaudeville that it
would be made known why Shorty

Agency. lost his position. Also that
Smith should come again to tell us
what mystery he followed that night
on the shores of Anchuria when
he strewed so many cigar stumps
around the cocoanut palm during
his lonely night vigil on the beach.
These things were promised; but
a bigger thing yet remains to be
accompl.shed-the clearing up of a
seeming wrong that has been done
according to the array ofchronicled
facts (truthfully set forth) that
have been presented. And one

things.
