sold it said it was as good as new,
and it broke his heart to part with
ii, but he had to go to Florida for his
health and needed the money. Most
of the great bargains are offered by
people who have to go somewhere, for
their health, and they're wise in doing
that, for If they stayed around the
neighborhood where they sold the
junk, they'd have their heads punched.
'Doolittle was so proud and happy
over his bargain that it would have
made you feel ten years younger just
TO look at him. He hitched up his
family steed, which is named jan
uary, and then invited Aunt Julia and
Mrs. Spry to take buggy ride. He
and his wife sat in the front seat, and
the invited guests took the rear one,
and all went as merry as q divorce
bell for about block.
saThen one of the hind wheels came
off, and the surrey keeled over and
dumped my aunt and Mrs. Spry onto
u pile of gravel that had been left on
the street by cement contractor. be
had put a red lantern on top of the
pile as a danger signal to motorists.
I think the fall must have unsettled
Aunt Julia's faculties for the time be-
ing, for she grabbed up the lantern
and broke it over Mrs. Spry's head.
Mrs. Spry has her faults and failings
like other people, but she is dead
game, and the way she went for Aunt
Julia was the prettiest thing / ever
saw. I was sitting on our front porch
where I could see the doings, and
don't know when l ever enjoyed my
self so much.
sunless you have seen a couple OF
refined and cultured ladies clawing
each other around on a pile of gravel,
Won don't know what true sport is.
Mrs. Spry showed some fine ring gen.
eraIship, but my aunt had the best
wind and she finally won out and came
home victorious. And thus through
Camp and court she bore the trophies
of a conqueror,' as the poet says, but
there was no pleasure In living In the
same house with her for a week or
two. AS soon as she cooled down she
was sorry and ashamed, and Would
have given a million dollars II the
row had never started.
NWomen are so blamed queer I've
eiyen I'D trying to understand them.
when I get the best of shindy l feel
aII swelled up for quite a while. 1
don't have any remorse unless l get
the worst of it, and that doesn't often
bonnen. for am pretty handy man.
When 1 put a cupola on Tensmlths
head last February 1 was so chesty
for n month that everybody noticed 1t,
and thought must have been appoint
ed postmaster.
"Well after the women fell out Oh
the rear seat of the surrey, old Jan
nary ran away, and it was amusing to
see that rig go humping along the
street on three wheels, with Doolittle
hanging onto the dashboard and his
wife waving her umbrella and yelling
sFirer January couldn't go very fast,
being covered with ringbones ana
Spayins and other blemishes, but he
managed to knock several people down
and do a lot of damage to property,
and the old man had to pay out nearly
5000 to avoid some damage suits.
"The one thing that keeps him from
despair is a rumor that the man who
sold him the surrey is coming back
here to live. Doollttle will be at the
depot to meet him, and 1t Will be
worth So to have a rlngside seat whep
the meeting occurs"

3 Break Out Of Sedan

Man Takes Up the Habitat OF

New YOrk.-New York city's East
slde-a minute strip on minor island
lis, perhaps the most densely popu-
lated region on the Western hemi-
sphere. And yet it was in this hu-
Misunderstanding district that Theo-
dore Greesley chose to take up the
habitat of a hermit. 1t was In the
spot where more persons live and
have their being than any other IN
this country that this old man, long
bearded and gray, sought to withdraw
from all human contact.
I'D on the third floor and to the
right of a dull, brown tenement at
100 Chrystie street there's small
room, which, along with its few
chairs. its small bed and a picture or
two, Mrs. Alice Bernard had rented 10
Theodore Greesley six years ago. she
had seen little of him since de

almost a month Mrs. Bernard had not

So this landlady trudged up the

had happened. She stopped at the
door of the small room and listened
There was no sound and her rappings
went unheeded. Even unlocking the
door did not gain for her admlttance'
Frightened she called the police. Two
sturdy Irishmen tried their weight
against the portal but they failed TO
move it.
A fire ak finally chopped an en-
trance, but upon a strange scene. Inc

newspapers and rags. They were

NE Of the many lovely dance
~ frocks made Of taffeta silk is pic
tured here, and IL ever there was
more alluring invitation to the dance
than 1t succeeds In expressing, we will
have to look to music to make 1t. For
party dresses, for dancing, nothing
seems to have quite the charm OF
taffeta silk, and 1t may be rightly de-
scribed as joyous fabric in its light
colors. In black and dark colors IT
makes afternoon and dinner frocks un-
pretentious, but surprisingly charm
ing. The youthful and pretty model
shown in the picture employs apricot
colored taffeta with a frivolous short
overdress of chiffon In the same color.
This is made Of overlapping flounces
having scalloped edges bound with bias
folds Of the taffeta. The underskirt
Is moderately wide and ankle length,
the simple bodice draped In a "V'
shaped neck opening at the back and
front, and filed In with a chemfsette
Of fine lace. The sleeves are merely
two flounces of the scalloped chiffon.
