Thrills And Chills

The biggest thrill that can come to
any American: News that he has
been nominated for President.
The biggest chill: The flash on
election night that he has been de-
feated.
Only five men now living have ex-
perienced that thrill, and four of them
have sshivered with subsequent chill
Bryan had three thrills and one
Chill Taft had two thrills and a chill.
Parker and Hughes thrill and chill
each, while Woodrow Wilson has felt
two thrills and no chills.
People often talk about and try to
answer the question, What was the
biggest thrill | ever had?" but these
five men can give an answer right of

1t is certainly most welcome, that

delightful convenience OF the we'll
loved suit without the usual Broken"
appearance of the skirt and blouse
that so many women find unbecom-

In Harpers Bazaar for August there
are several examples of this new
mode as developed in delightful ways
One is of blue serge with long
WASTED bodice of white crepe de
Chine, stitched in white, and with a
crushed girdle of blue serge at the
normal waist line The coat which
accompanies it is of blue serge
stitched in white, cuffless and without
fastenings. the whole effect being de-
cidedly, chic and becoming. Jenny,
who is the originator of this costume,
calls it 'Pratique"
Another example of the new mode
is for more dressy occasions. The
frock of soft black crepe de Chine
is refreshingly plain, short of sleeve,
round of neck and with frivolous
ruffie just below the waist which cas-
cades on down the sides. Then to
make up for the simplicity of the

American Forestry Magazine in
making the announcement. Ii was IN
the spring of 1915, and on January s
of that year they had helped General
Jackson whip the British in the Bat
tie of New Orleans.
These boys both attended log roll
ling on the old Pierce farm that
spring. and as they were returning TO
the house after their days work, made
wager who could vault the farthest
using their cottonwood handspikes as
vaulting poles. They both left their
handspikes sticking in the soft earth
where they had vaulted, and during
the spring rains of 1915 the both took
root and lived.
One of these trees died about ter
years ago but the other is still living
and is 105 years old. This tree has a
| peculiar base on account of the I'M
usual manner of planting; is about 81
feet in circumference, IT'S feet high
