Autograph COLLECTIONS.

There are many boys and girls
who greatly admire all we'll
known men and women. even to
the extent of getting their sig
natures for an autograph collec-
tion.
II is more interesting to get
the original signatures instead or
those reproduced from a photo
graph. or by some other method.
One way to get an autograph
when the person lives out OF
town. is to write him a very short
. but courteous note stating your
desire and asking IL he will kind
Iy write his name on the enclosed
slip of paper and send it to you
in the enclosed stamped and ad-
dressed envelope. Don't forget
the stamp.
You may keep your collection
of autographs in a special album.
or put them into a box. The al
bum collection looks neater, of
course. and is much handler, for
at the side of each signature you
can write such data concerning
it as you wish.
Addresses of well-known- poo
pie may be secured by watching
the columns of the newspapers
closely.

Edward Gather will wear three
scars for life. One is over his left
eye, one across his nose and the
other is across his forehead.
These wounds were supposed 20
have been caused by a knife in the
hands of Bernard Lewis. But Lewis
said il wasn't so. He denied ever
having a knife. All he used was
his fist, he told Judge Mcmahon.
But the doctor from the Emergency
Hospital said that a mans fist
could not make a nice clean cut like
a sharp knife.
Bernard and Edward quarreled
over money. Edward paid his an
tagonist S3-all he admitted having
owed the man. Bernard insisted on
getting more money and became
peeved when Edward refused to
come across.

the box while the ball is coming

your eye on the ball II is too
difficult to take il out of focus
and then put it back as would
be necessary if your position
were changed.
1t isn't wise to interpret the
signals of the catcher to find out

THE GIRL OF TODAY AND
YESTERDAY

Thank God / haven't a daugh-
ter" exclaimed a middle-aged man
the other day. whenever / see a
lot of little fiappers with their faces
smeared with cosmetics and their
hair combed like a skye terriers.
and their skirts up to their knees, ]
bless Heaven that not one of them
belongs to me.
%And I weep with sympathy to
think how their own fathers must
feel when they see their daughters
dressed with an utter disregard for
all decency, and painted up until
you can't tell them from the wom-
an of the street. And when think
that my boy will probably marry
one of these silly, little. brainless
creatures, whose whole idea in life
is shimmying and jazzing, i feel
that the kindest thing that / could
do would be to take him out and
kill him to save him from a fate
worse than death.
whats the matter with the mod
ern girl, anyway? Why has she no
sense of modesty? What makes her
SO dress-mad? Why haven't we any
more sweet. dignifed. reserved, in
telligent, sensibly dressed young
women like there were when 1 was
young7
II tell you, the most decadent
thing in this decadent age is the
modern girl. and when / think that
she is going to be the mother of the
next generation, I am filled with
pessimism and despair and ready to
prophesy that the world is going to
the dogs"
Nonsense" replied the mans
wife. The modern girl is all right.
It's just because she's different
from the girls you used to know,
and on whom you formed your
ideals. that you object 10 her. Every
generation believes that II has a
monopoly on all the wisdom and
virtues, and expects the succeeding
generation to wreck things. but 1t
never does.
II agree with you as to finding the
modern girls costumes shocking,
and I can't see how any mother,
who knows the world, can let her
little daughter go out with a couple
Of layers of chiffon doing duty for
a bodice, and a dress up to her
knees; but, after ALL the modesty or
immodesty of such a garb depends
on the point of view. In the South
Sea islands a string Of sharks teeth
constitutes a perfectly proper earb
for a lady. and we are already get
ting so accustomed to semi-nude
women in society that we no longer
look at them twice.
When I was a girl, our dresses
came up to our ears. and down under
our feet, and our skirts were ten
and twelve yards around the bottom
and interlined with haircloth SO that
they weighed a ton, and we tied
great bustles around our waists, and
one year had sleeves so tight that
We couldn't raise our hands to our
heads, and the next they were so
big that we had to go sideways
through a door.
That was the sensible costume
wore when you came Accounting me,
and between the skirt that rendered
