GREATNESS NOT ON SURFACE
Reporter Had Perceived Nothing to
indicate That His Companion
Was a Man of Note.


Every one is entitled to one chuckle
In days like these. just as every dog
is entitled to one bite. Hence this
story of Sinclair Lewis, which is being
repeated with vicious enjoyment by a
lot of the loWbrows.
1t appears that Lewis was a guest
at a dinner not long ago at which a
number of newspaper men and other
low forms of life were present. The
guests were introduced to their hosts
in this fashion:
Gentlemen is Mr.. Smith, Mr..
Jones and Mr.. Lewis"
Mr.. Lewis sat next to a reporter.
The reporter talked of politics, the
next war, heat, Babe Ruth, the big
fight and other bourgeois things and
said no word of literature.
Mr.. Lewis became first uneasy and
then unhappy. When he could stand
1t no longer he turned to his neighbor
with gay laugh.

Use of NeCkWear
Decoration Affords Appearance
of Changes of Dress.
Many Of Latest Imports of Sheer
White Fabrics With Touches of
Bright Color.

A stock of pretty neckwear plays
an important part in any woman's
wardrobe, but more so in that of the
girl at boarding school or college,
whose clothes are more simple than
those of her debutante sister. Conse-
quently they require the small touches
which metamorphose a frock or suit
and give the appearance of more
changes of dress than one actually
has.
Sweaters more than any other ar
ticle Of dress have done a great deal
for neckwear. About year and a
half ago all Of the best dressmakers
featured the lingerie neck finish, and
much was said and written about it
as being the return of a well-liked but
for a time neglected fashion which
would be joyfully accepted by all
women.
This was not verified. While every
body knows that a touch of white at
the neck makes a gown more becom-
ing and a woman appear more
youthful, for some reason the plain,
collarless neck has been preferred.
It is the tailored suit and the
sweater that keep the neckwear bust
ness thriving. The wearing of one
piece dresses for such long time
was rather q severe blow to this
dainty detail Of dress. The recent re-
vival of tailored suits, especially those
with the open front requiring hand
some gilet, has stimulated the produc-
tion of new things in this line.
Many of the latest imports are of
sheer white fabrics with touches Of
bright color introduced, such as new
reds or unusual shades Of blue. These
may be in the form of simple en-

VELVET IS SURE TO BE POPULAR
Soft Material Promises to Be Chief

Blouse in Favor.

It is predicted that velvet will De
the most popular of all materials for

race for favor can only be told after

For wear with suits it seems prob
able that the tailored blouse will con-
tinne in popular favor. 1t has GER
tainly served its time well this spring
and summer season, with the sleeve
less coats and sweaters and dresses.
Those with the little Fittings and
plaitings in extremely narrow strips
are the ones which buyers and wear
ers seem to like the best.
The street oxford has been passed
in popularity by the heavy suede
strapped pump with low heel, at
least for country sport wear. 1t is
likely that this style will carry over
for street wear in the city in the fall.

time to come Only those who have
worn the cape know how satisfactory
it can be.
FASHIONS IN BRIEF

Pulled sleeves are quaint for girl
ish afternoon dresses.
In evening slippers, as well as after
noon pumps and street shoes. low
heels appear.
Some new white kid gloves have
gauntlets trimmed with tails of mon
key fur and jet beads.
Gowns and chemise are frequently
unstitched at the side seams, showing
instead lace edging and ribbed bows.
Broadtail including the taupe va
riety, Persian lamb and black caracul
will be among the featured furs.
The suit craze for the moment is
for the gray tailored suit with the
one-button jacket, snug fitting sleeves
and small collar.
In novelty jewelry, circle pearls
take first place, pearl bracelets, ear
rings and tassels suspended on a cord
being among the favorite forms.
The topcoat on tailored lines, to
be worn for the same purposes as a
mans topcoat, j. e., over suits as well
as frocks, is growing in popularity.
Pasted owls heads are particularly
in favor for use on white hats, usually
those developed in baronette satin or
felt. The heads are perched high on
the trent of the crown.
Many pretty collars and cuffs are
shown for sweaters and sport dresses,
but there is no great variety of types
in these. as they conform more or less

Fate Had Been unkind.

An old man appealed for charity
from passersby: "Pity a poor old man
who has missed his calculation"
The strangeness of his cry attracted
an old lady, who stopped the man and
asked him what he meant
Madam said he, its like this.
When / was young, I earned plenty
of money, and at fifty had saved
good sum. said to myself should
only live to be seventy and what
had would keep me comfortably till
then. Unfortunately, l missed my
calculation. Pve lived to be seventy

The explanation secured him the gift
his ingenuity deserved.

WHEN TO GO HOME.

And often took leave. but was 10th to
0epart-Prior.
TIME is money to most of us, in
one way or another. Yet many
of US forget to go home and so
waste a lot of somebody else's money,
in the guise of time.
Were you ever In this position? The
maid had gone out for Thursday after
noon, or else there was no maid. A
guest was coming at half-past six.
The dinner was partly prepared
thanks to your desire to be ready for
emergencies. At half-past five ia
would be time to put the meat in the
oven, and at six the vegetables must
go on. You must in the meantime
dress yourself. and perhaps put child
to bed, or else help an older one to
dress. A neighbor called at half
past four. You looked thankfully at
the clock, realizing that she could not
stay long enough to harm your din
ner. But she stayed.
AT five you began to be nervous,
thinking of the things yet to be done
AT half-past five, making some excuse
about hearing knock at the kichen
door, you scurried out to the kitchen
and put in the meat. Then you sat in
agony, waiting for the caller to take
her departure, and when she did, about
six, you madly dashed down again to
whip the cream for the dessert and
mix the salad and air the dining room,
and heat the soup, and set the table,

room, and light the lights and do the
dozen of last-minute things that ought
to have been done in the last hour
not in the last minute.
Most of US have been in some such
predicament, and, remembering this,
it behooves us to remember to go

welcome.

when a guest should make an early de-
parture. There are many others.
caller on a sick person should al
ways make short call, unless by
staying for longer, specified time,
she can relieve the nurse.
When guests are expected, a caller
should always take her departure
promptly. If unexpected callers ar
rive, the first Corners should go be-
fore many minutes have passed.
If there is illness in the house, a
caller should not keep the members
of the household very long. Even If
they are not bearing the duties of
nurse, they probably have many calls
on their time.
If your hostess is going out later in
the afternoon-if you have found out
this to be the case In some chance
manner-you should not keep her in,
even if she protests that she is in no
hurry.
Put yourself in the place of the
hostess on all occasions when you
are wondering whether or not it is
time to go home.

we know little. AS he warmed to his
theme, he became most eloquent, and
frequently repeated the oft-quoted
saying: more light! Oh, for more

His surprise may be imagined
when, after one Of these utterances,

PUPPY AND THE FOWA

THE Barnyard Fowl lived very
comfortable with old Towser,
but when Jack Puppy came
there to live they found out they knew
nothing about dogs.
81 thought all dogs were good said
old Brown Hen, looking after her bit
of bread which Jack had stolen and
run off WITH Il wish / could catch
him and give him a sharp peck"
"He tipped over my dish of mush
this morning and then rolled in it."
said Nine. Duck, with snap of her
big bill. "He could not eat that either,
and my little ones had no breakfast"
At last the ducks and hens could
stand it no longer and then went to
old Towser and told their troubles.
"You must help US" said old Brown
Hen. Il should think you would be
tired of having him snatch your food,
too. / saw him run off with bone
you were eating the other day.
"What is the matter with you, Tow
ser? You would have chased another
dog and shaken him."
ooh, Jack is young" said Towser.
81 don't mind him, and you know,
Mrs. Brown Hen, we dogs must have
our day; besides that, was young
once myself and had to sow my wild
oats. just like Jack is sowing now"
at is plain we must take matters
into our own hands," said old Brown
Hen. 'Towser will not help us, so we
better call a meeting and see what
can be DONE"
That afternoon under the currant
bushes at the end of the garden all
the hens and ducks and Mr.. Rooster
held a meeting.
Jack Puppy ran all around the
barnyard trying to find them, and
when at last they returned he ran at
them barking and jumping. Make
the most of it, young fellow, y said

Do Todax,s Job Today.

The habit of postponing is whole
sale delusion. 1t is founded on false
hope. The victim thinks he will have
time to do tomorrow what should be
done today. That more convenient
time seldom ever comes. Shakespeare
emphasizes the idea when he says:
"You can't turn the wheel with the wa

said: "Procrastination is the thief of

"THE MOVIES"


THE toy zoetrope was the grand
father of the motion-picture ma
chine of today. The Oldest in
yention was one Of these toys, patent
ed by w. E. Lincoln, 1867. In 1869
o. B. Brown patented machine which
projected moving pictures" from a
series of glass plates. Muybridge, in
1880, also produced a glass-piate ma
chine. M. Marcy, of the French in
stitute, first used the continuous film,
and Lumiere, in 1898, invented the
"Cinematograph.'' The first real ma
chine came to America in 1894, and
one Edward Hadley is supposed to
have the honor of being the first mo.
tion-picture operator in America.

HOW Do YOU SAY 1T?
By C. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How ito Avoid Them
DIFFER WITH" DIFFER FROM

- ETWEEN the proper use of the
term differ from" and the proper
use of differ with" there is a
clear distinction, although it is for
gotten frequently, even by some writer's
and speakers who are careful in the
use of words.
For a person to differ from another,
or for a thing to differ from another,
he or it must be unlike, in appearance,
in manner, or in some other character
istic, while to differ with a person
means to disagree with him in opin-
ion or belief. It follows, therefore,
that, while a thing may differ from
another, it cannot differ with another,
since only thinking beings can have
a difference in belief or opinion. For
example, 81 differ from John in stat
ure, but I differ with him in our views
on the present national policy"

Care of the Hair.

Many have the habit of back comb
ing the hair to make it look fluffy.
This cannot be done without some in
Jury to the hair, but it can be so care
fully done that the injury will be
slight. A great deal depends upon the
manner in which the comb is inserted.
Put it In on a slant, not straight
across, and you will find that it will be
much easier to disentangle and there
will be no necessity for breaking the
ends.

Food Value of Potatoes.

That potatoes differ widely in food
value is shown by a report of the gov
ernment's scientific committee. It is
laid down that the most useful pota-
to for food is the one which contains
the largest amount of dry matter.
Where two varieties are practically
equal in this respect the nitrogen they
contain enters into the estimation of
their feeding quality.
