SEEN IN Different LIGHTS
Beauties of Nature Made Varying Ap-
peal to the Artist and the
Two "Flappers."

The Woman and the artist were sit
ting on the sands at the beach. Near
them were two girls murmuring to
each other.
Silence fell when the artist sat up
excitedly and, waving a thumb at the
magnificent sunset, said: Get that
color!"
1t was one of Natures great pictures
"a pile of lavender thunder clouds
tipped pink by the setting sun and
slashed from time to time by flame
lightning. The lake gave back the
glories of the sky, enhanced by its
own green waves.
The bobbed-haired one of the two
girls spoke first: "Say, Minnie,
wouldn't that make a swell negligee?"
"You said it," replied Minnie, "but
how'd yer get all them colors?"
Layers and layers and layers of
Chiffon was the dreamy response.
The artist fairly exploded in the
Woman's ear: "Gosh! Is that all they
can think of! Now, when I get back
to the studio I'll show you" He fin
ished with a vague gesture.
The Woman said nothing, only sat
back and pondered on the number Of
things that genius might create from
one source of inspiration.-ChicagO

Rug Factories in Picking.

There are sixty rug factories In. Pc
king, China, employing over 200 work
men each and with capitals ranging
about $4,000 This is a remarkable
increase on the figures recorded a few
years ago, and is explained by the In
creasing popularity of Picking rugs in
the United States. Direct buying is
now done by many large American
firms. In addition to this number,
there are numerous small establish
ments-estinated at over a hundred
which each employ a few score work
men and operate with a small capt.

NO CHANGE IN PROCEDURE
"Same Old Objection, Same Old Rul-
ing" and judicial Proceedings
Went on Their Way.

A reader was Overhauling his old
files of Life the other day when he
came across a story with a distinct
Cleveland flavor.
1t concerns q once noted member of
the local bar, and a we'll known judge,
who, happily, is still numbered among
the living.
Here is the story just as it appeared
&c years ago:
"a most amusing reply was made by
Judge Neff to an objection made by
Attorney Vernon Burke. The replevin
suit of Capt. Joseph Doville against
Constable Hudson was on hearing.
Mr.. Burke had continually made OBJ
lection to certain testimony, and every
one of the objections was religiously
overruled by Judge Neff.
Later, Captain Doville was on the
stand and the same question came up
again.
"T object cried Mr.. Burke in a
stentorian voice.
"'What's your objectionT asked
Judge Neff.
"'Same old objection replied the
attorney.
"'Same old ruling answered the
Judge. Proceed cleveland Plain
