DOBBED hair, concealed ears, short
skirts and all the other fads and
foibles associated with modern
women's styles are as old as the pyramids,
according to the mute story told by the
mummies of both Egypt and Peru in the
Field Museum, Chicago.
Wrapped in their pitched shrouds and
encased in sarcophagi covered with curious
paintings and hieroglyphs in colors still
bright after three thousand years and
more, these mummies, all that was mortal
OF human being of ages ago. today link
the present to a civilization long ago dead.
The daily center of thousands of curious
eyes, the mummies seem to hold strange
fascination for every visitor to the museum;
they are silent spectators of the passing
throngs, but the paintings which adorr
their resting places tell more plainly than
words of styles, customs and manners of
forgotten age.
"Why, ma, they're dressed just like the
girls we see on Michigan boulevard" ex-
claimed an aged visitor to his wife as he
gazed at the strange figures adorning the
sarcophagi.
1T appears like they did not wear
bit more then than they do now," the
woman answered as the pair moved away
- It is !. iaT cry from the Nile of Cleo
patra's day to the Pacific coast of -Peru
in South America, but mummies from both
regions lying almost within reach of each
other now, but in life ignorant of each
others existence, bear graphic evidence OF.
the greatest similarity and proficiency in
many arts at time when the Norsmen
were ravaging all of Southern Europe and
the old world had almost sunk into Bar
barism. DR.. J. Alden Mason, Assistant
Curator of Mexican and South American
anthology at the museum, has prepared
an outline of the known history of the
Peruvian mummies. -
Both wove cloths in every weave known
to the modern textile artist, and made in
some cases finer than are duplicated today
by the best mechanical means and the most
skilled artisans. Their pottery is unsur-
passed even today in its type, and their
work in gold and copper challenges the
modern craftsman. Unlike, the Egyptians,
the Peruvians used no process of embalm-
ing, but so dry were the sands of certain
of their deserts that the dry bodies with
their wrappings around them have BEEN
preserved perfectly to this day. with the
objects placed around them.:
Near the town of Ancon on the coast of
Peru was found the greatest cemetery of
these people. A great desert waste, no
evidence of occupation in one on the sur
face. Even when the first Spanish con-
querer passed that way in 1888 every
vestige of human occupation had entirely
disappeared and the location of the town
was quite forgotten. 1t was not until
about seventy years ago that the first
graves were discovered, and for half
century they have yielded fortunes to
treasure-seekers who despoiled them to re-
cover the golden ornaments left beside the
bodies. And now the mummies of both Of
these people tell of strange similarities in
style, adornment, manners and industries
to the present generation.

Amusements." On the back of this little
pasteboard was a brief, pointed discourse
on Courtesy and the "milk of human
Kindness that aroused favorable COM
ment wherever presented; and was re-
sponsibe for the enviable and outstand
ing respect and popularity of the man. He
was an extraordinary person in profess
sion where so much sordidness and de-
meaning selfshness exists. Tall, slightly
stopped; hawk-like face; prominent
hook nose; deep set eyes of brownsh
hue receding forehead; name of in
corrigibe hair, steaked with silver; firm
mouth, repressed of lip in serious moments,
with a kindliness hard to describe when
deeply engrossed in his profession, as he
loved his work. Beverly was not hand
some man as looks and features are as
sayed, but the rugged, kindly, yet sophis-
ticated nature was after all the earmarks
of a simple soul to one who knew him
intimately. He radiated courtesy, kindness
and benevolence. Above all his one am
bition was to entertain people, cleanly and
legitimately, which he was doing every
day of his life.
Finding at last vacant taxi we were
hurriedly driven downtown where we
sought creature comforts so cordially sug-
gested by Beverly, at a prominent hotel
grill-room. After the lunch, we lit our
smokes" and waited expectantly for the
r.4ws of "Queen" Victoria. With pre-
liminary discourse on the show business,
past and present, Beverly nearly exhausted
my patience, when, with a sudden repres-
sion of his lips and dull melancholy
CLEAN of Renaissance in his brown orbs
he took up the subject, on which 1 hoped
to construct colorful story, gripping with
human interest and action.
"Wcll, Izzy,-- temporized my friend,

full of ups and downs, and especially so,
topsyturvy in the show business. One
season a man may be riding on the crest
of the wave of success with a popular at
traction; the next he will be mired in
obscurity with a mediocre show. The
peculiar part of it all is that when Dame
Fortune smiles the world is with you and
virtually at ones feet. Money, friends;
and power, after fashion, but let bad
season slip up on you and things happen
fast and furious; so speedily in fact that

eyes at everything. Thank God! have

know why. Just my cussed good humor

ing expression dimmed his features momen-
tarily, seeming to convey to me somehow
the impression of an anguished mind.
Presently his face lighted up and he went
on:
"Well, kid, since l saw you in Hot
Springs that winter much has happened to
me. We will begin there. AS you al
ready know had one of the most popular
attractions in the outdoor show business.

CAFETERIA A GREAT SUCCESS
As Many As lzO Persons Served at
One Meal

Just two and n half cents made on
each meal served, yet In three
months enough money was cleared
to purchase table cloth, nifty tum-
blers and fifty bread and butter
plates. Where did this all happen
In the Abilene high school CAFETERIA.
The class In cafeteria Is composed
of 10 girls, under the direction OF
Miss Vera Samuel. 1t opened Dec
ember s and closed March 3. Dur
ing this time 3,493 people were
served at a total cost Of $44644,
making the cost per person l2h
cents. These 12h cent lunches were
sold for 20 cents. After paying the
expenses and allowing for the lunches
of the 10 students and instructor
only about 2A cents were cleared
on a lunch. The largest NUMBER
served at any one time was 40.
The girls had only an hour to pre-
pare the meals and have them ready
to serve. The lunch usually consist
ed of two kinds Of sandwiches ana
two or three other articles, includ-
ing soups, meats, vegetables, salads,
cocoa, cookies and sometimes even
ice cream.
The girls taking cafeteria not only
learned how to cook various things
but also what the different foods are
made up Of.
Besides serving noon lunches TINS
class served the athletic banquet,
the farmers institute and the bust
ness mems luncheon.
The cafeteria is conducted only
through the winter months to accom-
modate the teachers and students
who stay II considerable distance
from the school or who drive in
from the country.
The table cloth, tumblers ana
bread and butter plates purchased
with the proceeds will be used IN
the domestic science department
where they are much In need.

GIRLS SET CLOTHING BUDGET
$4,000 the Average Cost Of a dirrs
Clothing

The girls of the Abilene high
school have become very much inter
ested in the cost of high schooi
girls clothing for one year In com
parison with that of the working
girl.
The second year domestic art class
under the direction Of Miss Vera
Samuel, has made some very attrac-
tive note books, containing pictures
of sufficient amount OF clothing
for school girl for one year. The
total cost was computed on basis
of local prices.
Some of the girls were not very
economical and their books contained
unnecessary luxuries and displayed
rather an extreme total for school
girls budget.
Miss Samuel then suggested that
each girl make budget that would
include the exact amount and cost OF
the clothing she had bought for the
past year.
After making these lists 1t was
found that the highest total spent
for clothing was $3.50 and the low
est $74.10 These totals were by
girls of different classes. A girl In
her senior year demands more cloth
ing than in her sophomore year.
The average total was $146.39
which Is close estimate according
to the sum set by X. s. A. c. spec
ialists which was $137.63 for a year
ly budget.
Budgets are of special interest at
this time in connection with the In
vestigations of the Kansas court or
industrial relations.
BY making their own clothes the
domestic art girls think they could
keep their expenses down to $137.63.
Home made garments wear much
longer and are not so expensive as
ready to- wear clothing.

She so lived that near the end wher

Altho for several years she ha!
