that one must make deposit if one
desires to make any long distance
calls. Besides, the telephone instru,
ment is not furnished by the admins
tration, but each subscriber buys apd
owns the particular type OF instru-
ment he prefers.
In all lands wrong number calls
are a source of irritation, but | be
lieve the French system holds the
record. No statistics are available,
but many conservative people main
tain the percentage OF wrong num-
aers given is not less than so, and
some would place the figure much
higher"
After experiencing such service a.
that described above, one is inclined
to give the American telephone com.
panies gold medal. In speed, accur-
acy and cost our own service is far
superior to that of the French CAPT
tai. and when occasionally one has
trouble getting quick connection
with correct number it might lesson
his irritation to remember what the
POOR Parisians have to put up with
Lynchbure Daily Advance.

Moods and Modes
By Marjorie Howe Dixon

Moods and modes-how ineXtricably
intertwined! The feminine mood-its
name. is Legion. The Autumn mode
is it not also Legion? Verify. For each
hour of the day, each separate occa.
sion demands its mode--and withif
the mode lie countless variations OF
the mood.
Variations, yes, thank goodness.
For woman preserves her indivl-
duality as she would her pearly teeth.
Each fair creature demands the smart
mode that is her sc!f-eypression. And
she will not be stereotyped.
DIFFERENTIATION is not to be
seized upon by diplomats, to become
their exclusive phrase. 1t has just
as vital a meaning to the eternal
feminine, and having once perceived
it, she is not likely to let it go.
What has Autumn in store for this
marvellous modern woman?
In what manner will the intricacies.
aye, the subtleties of her mood be-
come expressed?
/ There are fur collared tailleurs and
coats for the out-of-doors. When her
desire seeks the open air, the sncp-
ping excursion, the long walk, she
will resort to these. There are street
dresses for the earlier fall, before the
weather turns cold. There are many,
many pretty costumes for her after
Moons, indoors, whether she enter-
tains or seeks amusement in the
homes of her friends.
And loveiiest of all are the exotic
evening dresses. the tremulous
subtle or gayly joyous party frocks.
For these happy times she need not
consider subdued tints mon firm prac-
tical materials, but can simmer forth
onto the brightly lighted dancing
floor, ell one CLEAN Of scquins. Per-
h?ps ser self-exprcssiCn will demand
the boufTant folds of tatfcta, with
tight bodice and above it gayly flung
bobbcd hair. Then again she, may
eject to stun ali beholdcrs with the
severity and bold simplicity of black
velvet.
This Seasons Contribution
Each year a number of smart anG
quite tailored dresses are designed
The business woman finds her daily
costumes amongst these, knowing as
she does, that her clothes must be
more severe in line and cut, than
those worn at home. Such dresses
ere 50 very good looking ti;at many
Of our feminine friends enjoy them,

Regardless Of the brilliant tones

more sombre colors. Among these
putty is the cavest,-though would
one call it gay?--while navy blues,
dark browns and French grey also ap-
pear. Darl, GREY is another good color.
One brown tunic skirt had gussets

Telephone Service

Doubles there is not a single teie'
phone subscriber in this city who has
not at times become impatient over
the seemingly unnecessary length o.
time taken by central in answering MS
cali. or who has not. become !rrltateo
almost to the boiling point by beng
given number entirely different
from that asked for. At such tlme&
one entertains no very friendly feel
ING for the telephone company. But
whatever may be the faults OF tele-
phone service in the United States one
can not escape taking 4 great deal OF
bride lii it if one happens TO be n q
foreign land and attempts to use nc
tcIcphone provided there. The fol
loving. written by an American
newspaper correspondent IN Paris,
Illustrates:
"An event Of national Importance
has lust happened in France. A new
telephone book has been issued.
The Paris telephone book is COM
monty known as the annuaire des
telephones. Of course 'annualres
means annual As a mater Of fact
however, this is the first new direcc-
tory isued since 1917. Even SO, there
was much opposition in parliament
to publishing it, on account OF the
cost.
Te.euhonle subscribers are notified
that they may nave the advantage
Of this facility by Gazing at the tele-
phone office. Otherwise it will DC
delivered as soon as possible, but not
before the lapse Of one month.
My own present telephone was IN
stalled Just five months before thc
book was published, but too late tol
Insertion
On the other hand, to compensate
for the large number of subscribers
omitted, the government has carefully
kept on its list . considerable number
of people who presumably no longer
have telephones nor any use for them
One discovers. for instance, 'Boio'
Pasha, z rue de PhalSDourg,' and one
is told that one may be connected
with 'Almcreydc, Miguel by calling I;
certain number at st. Cloud. As the
former was executed and the latter
committed suicide in prison about the
time the preceding 'annuaire' wa:
published, it is to say the least con-
sderate Of the administration to con-
tinue their telephone subscriptions.
However, repeated call for Mr.
Bolo's number gets no response, while
a voice tells those who ring up Mr.
Ahnereyda that the gentleman is no
longer domicilcd at st. Cloud
"!Amcricans who are accustomed to
lew and up TO date telephone dircc-
tories every few months will perhaps
find this sample of telephone service
in France sufficiently annoying, bui
that is not the only complaint one
may raise. To begin with there is .
charge Of 700 francs--a mere '555.oOl
for the installation OF the phone
Even then, unless one has some cor.
tract with the postal administration
whereby to obtain preferential treat
ment there may be a delay of two on
three months. Service charges O

Looey's opponent will Malone has met most of the leading boys of the welterweight division with much success of late. A few of Malone's victims are Bryan Downey claimant of middieweight crown; Johnny Tiuman, Young Deny, Tommy McAleer and Joe Exan. The latter, whom he fattened in one round, is the same battier who went 10 rounds with Bogaah recently.
 Bogash is also booked to scrap with George Shade, middleweight member of the fighting Shade clan of San Francisco at the Pioneer Sport ing club & week from tonight. Bo- gash was originally slated to meet Jimmy Kelly at the Pioneer tonight but as Kelly ran out of the match, Charley Doessericl&, the club match maker, called off the whole shooting match.

400 Boys To See Bulldog
 Tackle Bear

Here's one of the best outdoor sporting stunts of the season. The Bridgeport Junior Chamber of Com merce announced today that it is go- ing to have 400 schoolboys as it's guests, Saturday, at the Yale Brown football game in the Yale Bowl.
 This is an assurance that the Park City will again be we'll represented at the Bowl when the Bulldog, flush with victory over the Army will take on the Brown Bear in their an nual contest.
 The Junior Chamber of Commerce is acting as host for the future Yale men by taking the boys to New Ha- ven, showing them the sights of the University, and taking the whole group to the big game. H
 The party will leave in four spe- cial cars from the Postofice at a. m., arriving at East Rock at 10:3O and spending an hour visiting the old historic Judges Cave. The party will then be broken. up into groups of 25 under the leadership of Cham. Der men, a hurried trip will be made though the Yale campus so that the youngsters can get a good idea of the University.
 After the game the party will re- turn to fdgeport by way of Derby and Shelton, arriving at Bridgeport at 6:S0.

BOUTS ARE SCARCE
 FOR ANDY CHkNEy

Andy Chaney, the New York feath- erweight, finds himself in a position similar to that of Jack Dempsey. Chaney has defeated every feather weight of note in the country. The result is that promoters find it an impossib1ity to secure featherweights who will consent to box Chaney.
 Chaney won the Tex Rickard feath herweight elimination tournament at Madison Square Garden recently, by winning referees decisions over Sammy Sieger, Charles Beecher and Tommy Noble. Johnny Kilbane re- fused an offer of s50,000 from Tex Rickard to box Chaney 15 rounds to e decision. Chaney holds two news paper decisions over Kilbane, hence the reason for Kilbane's refusal to meet Chaney.
 1. Eddie Mead, Chaney's rotund man ager, figures that Kilbane will be forced to defend his title against Chaney. eff Andy can successfully combat in the junior lightweight di- vision, the press and piblic will de- mand that Ki1bane meet Chaney or announce his retirement from pugil- istic activities" says Mead.

The Gotham team does not look very strong on paper as last Saturday they, were smothered by Fordham Prep by the overwhelming score of 56 to 0. Fordham Prep was on the B.

EASTERN COLLEGE
 EXPERTS GROWING

New York. Oct. 25-Eastern college football elevens enthused over the success and popularity of the intersec- tional games that have been held in this section during the present sea- son may make an effort to schedule more of the western conference and southern teams for 1922.
 The numerous intersectional af- fairs in the east this season, football experts say. have enlivened the spirit of student bodies and interested the public as never before. Alonzo Stagg's Chicago eleven proved it's worth against Princeton last Saturday, while Indiana University, Ohio University and several southern elevens have been seen in eastern games. Georgia Tech and Centre. College of Ken lucky are to be seen in action next Saturday, the Atlantans in this city against Penn State, which held liar yard to a 21-21 tie last Saturday and the Kentuckians against Harvard at Cambridge.
 Eastern alumni of other western and southern coaches, 1t Is said, will urge their alma matters to send teams to the east next fall.
