Fashion Is Not New-Almost as Old
as the Human Race-But
II Is the Fad.

No woman considers herself well
dressed today who does not wear
earrings-the longer, the more vivid,
the more emphatic, the better. This
years debutante may think that ear
rings are a new fascination for whose
Introduction she is wholly responsible,
but when she attaches her long, swing
ing Jade ornaments to her ears she is
following a custom which is almost
as old as the human race. The thou
sands of years which separate pre-
historic woman from today's daughter
merely emphasize the perennial at
traction of the dangling earring for
fenininlty and, be it said, in some
nariods of the worlds history, for

crepes and Other Patterned Materials
Enjoying Popularity Not Known
in Many Years.

This season, when printed crepes
and other patterned fabrics are en-
joying a period Of favor such as they
have not known in many years, lends
a new interest to the famous toiles de
Jouy, the earliest printed fabrics of
the occident, which domesticated in
Eightenth-century France the hand
blocked prints Of India. Many of the
newest fabrics borrow their patterns
either from the original India prints
or from the hand-blocked linens made
ia the little French village Of Jouy,
The summer mode thus makes of
toile de Jouy trimming both for
tailIeurs and for hot weather frocks
in which it is often combined with a
heavy tulle matching Of the back
ground Of the linen. 1t is gay, pretty
and of a charming novelty, affording
a pleasant variation from the too IA
miliar embroideries. 1t is not used in

PUTNAM FADELESS DYES
CLIENT "SPlLLED THE BEAMS
Altogether Too Truthful in Answering
Question Put to Him by His
Own Attorney.

"Were I giving advice to young
lawyers" said an attorney the Other
day, It would advise him to be careful
about placing his client on the stand
1t is at least as well to know what
he is likely to answer to his attorneys
leading questions. Some time ago.
continued the lawyer, "a case was tried
in which the plaintiffs attorney GER
tainly spilled the BEANS though ac-
tually it was a cargo of bread, rolls
and cake that was upset. A baker,
wagon had been hit by train in
spite of the Stop, Look, Listen sign,
and the driver sued. On the stand
he was asked how he conducted him
self when he came to the crossing,
and he replied: / just trotted gently
across, looking the other way and
thinking about nothing in particular
The attorney threw up the case on
the spot, but it was really lack of
foresight on his part" continued the
narrator.

Anundsen,s Ultimate Object.

Captain Amundsen's plan is to make
his base at Cape Barrow. From
thence he proposes to cover by the
air route the 1,275 miles to the North
pole. His ultimate goal is Cape Col
umbia another 4S5 miles distant, MAX
ing a total distance of 1,760 miles.
AS he will doubtless be compelled to
deviate from the straight course, this
estimates that he will cover approx
mately 1000 miles. Just how he will
recognize the actual pole is not quite
clear, as it is not distinguished by any
particular physical features. He will,
however, be able to discover what
chances there are for carrying out his
projected drift in vessel across the
polar basin which is his main pur-
pose in flying over the top of the
earth.

Rathers look to Raincoats.

The White Star liner Majestic, the
worlds largest steamer, arrived in
New York the other day from South
ampton and Cherbourg on her third
voyage to America.
Voyagers described the weather on
the other side as wet and cold. One
passenger said that at Brighton, on
the English coast, where a carnival
was in progress, the bathing bellies pa
raded in oilskins, sea boots and SOU
westers. The relator so1emnly averred
that the king and queen of the pageant
were supplied with hot grog to ward
off the dangers Of an attack of pneu-
monia in the pelting rain.

PRINTED FABRICS ARE IN FAVOR

large masses, but in decorative bits at
the bottom of a jacket to make a
basque, to trim a sleeve, or to make
the top Of soft low girdle. Since
the fabric is hardly supple enough for
the frocks of the present mode, it is
combined with panels Of tulle which,
as the skirt sways, reveal a foundation
tone Of the color of some flower in the
pattern of the toile de Jouy.
Sometimes a frock of crepon, with
large sleeves and full skirt, has a
fiat front panel of toile de Jouy, which
forms a collar turned well back from
the neck. Again, a straight, long
wasted blouse Of Powered linen is
worn with a skirt of plain crepon in
lighter or darker@c color.
Quaint, indeed, is this combination
of old and new, which the Parisienne
may devise by opening the trunks of
her storerooms and cutting, not with
out a touch Of sadness, the motifs
from the brilliant lengths of her old
toiles de Jouy," says Vogue.

The Fouiard Frock.

"Do not make up your foulard into
a sfussy' gown" This is the advice of
a modiste whose gowns appear at
most of the smart gatherings in New
York. "Foulard," the modiste CON
tinues, is like muslin. It looks best
when treated very simply and loses
most of its charm when bedecked with
too many items of ornament. Since
it is essentially hot-weather fabric,
foulard should be allowed to look as
cool as possible, an effect not possible
If business is evident. A large shade
hat, trimmed with great simplicity, is
the proper headgear for the wearer Of
a foulard frock."

their design is left to the shaping of
the armholes, Their that line is at
tended to with the greatest Of care and
nothing is left to the Imagination
when the curying of the armhole line
is taken into consideration. 1t may
look like simple matter to have a
sleeveless gown, but you will find,
when you come to the matter of the
design, that the exact curve of that
armhole is matter of due Importance

the utmost skill, t"ore is not much
chance that it shall emerge with the
ability to carry the day above the
achievements of it's neighbors.

PUTTING MOTHER IN WRONG
Small Boy Quick to Observe Point
That Might Enable Him to Es-
cape Punishment.

It was cherry time and Richard in
sisted on running out in the orchard
and eating the half-ripe cherries. His
mother told him how much better it
would be for every one if he only left
the cherries until they were ripe, so
they could be enjoyed. She also
warned him she would punish him il
he went to the orchard again.
Soon she saw him pulling off the
green cherries and she went out and
cur a tiny switch from the tree. Rich
ard saw her coming toward him,
switch in hand, and the little lad said
to her earnestly:
Mother. if you had only left that
switch on the tree just think what a
fine big limb it would have been some

Kansas farmers find that a bull
snake in an alfalfa field is worth at
least $3.50 a month, says the Scien-
tifc American, for an acre harbors,
on an average, six gophers, which
damage the crop to that extent. One
adult bullsnake keeps an acre free Of
the pests. The bullsnake is harmless,
feeds also on rats and mice around
barn or granary and deserves the pro-
lection of the farmer.

The Autumn Wraps.

From the autumn wrap collections
in some of the big shops, it appears
that we shall wear satin, fur and braid

of the collars are rather military in
style, standing high and stiff, so that
the tip of the chin is hidden. Sleeves
are frequently on the bishop type,
large and floppy and gathered into a
narrow cuff.

bacon supplies sent to Vienna by

According to DIR. Lorenz' own
version of his unique experience
as a butcher" no delicate opera

afforded him half the satisfaction
he derived when he began to cut
from the sides of American bacon
rich, juicy slices of nutritious
meat for famished children.
The eminent surgeons letter,

that gripped Vienna following the
