| not go far and many tricks had the
farm man taught Jim Grow.
One day Betty was playing under
the tree near the barn with her toys,
and Paper Doll was there also, dressed
In her very best dress, the gold one.
She stood on top of a little table when
Betty went in to her dinner, and when
she came out Paper Doll had disap-
peared.
"She must have blown away" said
Grandma, who came out to help look
for Paper DOLL but, though they
looked all around the yard, and even
in the tree, nowhere could she be
found.
BY and by the farm man came along
and Betty told him she had lost her
doll dressed in her best gold dress, and
nowhere could she find her.
Just then Jim Crow came fluttering
to the shoulder of the farm man and
sat there, turning his head from side
to side, his bright eyes looking all
around.
Your doll wore a gold dress2"
asked the man with a smile.
BETTY told him it was a paper dress,
all gold color, and then the man
laughed out loud. II should not Won
der If l could find 1t for you," he said,
going toward the barn.
In few minutes he came out with
Paper Doll in his hand. Her dress
was all crumpled and her arms bent,
but Grandma soon ironed her into
shape and she was as neat and pretty
as ever.
And where do you think Paper Doll
had been?
In the barn, where Jim Crow hid all
his treasures. He loves bright things,
and when he saw Paper Doll and her
gold dress he picked her up and car
ried her off.
Betty thought 1t was quite an ad-
venture for Paper Doll, but she

naming Aumlung the Strong and there
was Duke Amelung recorded in Dan
ish ballad lore.
Amala was the earliest feminine
name formed from Anal 1t was a
favorite in Lombardy, but soon pene-
trated Germany, where it found vogue
as Amalie. Meantime, France and
Italy had adopted the Latin Aemilia
and through the similarity in sound,
the two names were thought to be
identical. France compromised the
difference between Aemilia and ANA
Ire and produced Amelie, the name
which has such vogue there today.
Amelia is the English version. It
has replaced all other forms-even in
Germany-the French Amelie alone
surviving.
The amethyst is Amelia's talismanic
stone. 1t will guard it's wearer from
danger and protect her from con-
tagion. According to ancient belief,
the amethyst has a SOLDERING effect
upon rash or impetuous natures. To
dream of 1t signifies freedom from
harm. Saturday is Amelia's lucky day
and four her lucky number. The prim-
rose, signifying simplicity, Is her
flower.

A middle-aged woman said the other

herself, with childish satisfaction,
"Well anyway, I'll never have to do
that" But today she Is doing just
that same thing-talklng about the
good old days before the war.

The official defender Of the mar

many wives were discontinued with
their husbands toilet.

that the couple were Incompatible,

ROMANCE OF WORDS
SABOTAGE"

THE spread Of strikes and the
4 resultant efforts of certain
dissatisfied elements to cripple
industry n every way possible
brought into use the French
word sabotage" in such way
that 1t may be said to have
been Anglicized, much as
valet" "barrage," ballet" and
"camoufage" have been Angli-
cized.
By Sabotage" as currently
used, is understood the act of
producing poor work or other
damage either to machinery or
to the good will Of some COM
mercial organization. The work
man who is deliberately careless
in the manufacture of some ar
ticle, is as guilty of sabotage as
is the workman who wrecks the
machine itself-for both of them
tend to injure the company for
which they are working, either
in its reputation or in it's opera
ton.
In it's original French sense
the word was a harmless one,
entirely uncCnnected with crime
of any kind, and meaning the
cutting of shoes or sockets for
rails N railroad les, "sabot" be-
ing French for wooden Shoes"
During the strikes which par.
alyzed internal commerce In
France toward the end Of the
last century. many of the strik-
ers tore up the railroad tracks
or loosened the shoe so chat the
rails spread, thus giving the
word its new application and
the significance Under which 1t
has slipped into the language on
this side of The Atlantic.

MIDDlES TO BE FALL VOGUE
Advance Models Submitted by Manu-
faeturers; Plan to Avoid the
Scarcity of Flannel.

There is more and more Of ten
dency on the part of MILDLY manufac-
turers to depart from the conventional
line. One house has not only put in
children's waists to amplify the mid
dy line, but shows series of smock-
overblouses also, using fancy woven or
embroidered eponge for the purpose,
and even using fringe as a decoration.
Another house is now making adj
vance fall models that are MILDLY
types only as far as the fabrics used
are concerned, and because of the
square-backed collar. Some of these
styles are of tuck-in finish, while all
give the suggestion of the Peter Pan
collar from the front.
In connection with fall preparations,
some MILDLY houses say they are max
ing them earlier this year than here
tofore, so as to be. prepared with suf-
fcient stocks of flannel, on which
scarcity was reported last autumn.

In the great desert yTegions of the
Southwest there is a remarkable
mountain Of sand. The behavior Of
it mystified the early settlers who in
the days of 40 followed the old trail
from Yuma to Los Angeles. The noun
tain was constantly changing form.
The first pioneers mentioned it to
their friends as a landmark by which
they might guide themselves ON their
way into the new country, but it
changed it's appearance so rapidly that
many Of them failed to recognize it,
wandered from the trail and were lost
in the desert.
People discovered later that it was
the strong winds that from time to
time sweep across the desert that
made the mountain act in so queer a
way. When the wind blew it shifted
loose sand from one spot to another,
built new domes and pinnacles and
destroyed others, until within short
time the whole mountain presented an
entirely new outline against the sky.

ROCKS THAT PUZZLED DARWIN
Great Naturalist Could Offer No Elk
PLANTATION Of Peculiar Land Off
South American Coast.

10 the average reader the name of
st. Paul's Rocks is unfamiliar. The
average geography and map make no
mention Of st. Paul's Rocks. They are,
of course, uninhabited. The little
known island or rather group, lies one
degree above the equator and $40
miles off the coast of South America.
In the entire breadth of the Allan.
tic there is probably no land so re-
mote. The Rocks measure only about
1,4OO feet in length and some 700
feet in width. There is no harbor
worth the name the only entrance be-
ing narrow inlet but a few feet in
width. AS far as the records show,
1t has only been visited two or three
times in the last so years.
The most famous visitor ITO the
Rocks was, doubtless, Charles Darwin,
who landed there and made mi
mute Investigations His description
OF this visit is contained in his book
on volcanic islands. Darwin decided
after careful investigation that the
Rocks were not of volcanic origin
They lie much too far south to have
been a part Of the fabulous continent
OF Atlantis. In his report Darwin
says that the island was composed of
rocks unlike any he had ever seen.
and adds that he was unable to char
acterize them by any name.

FOR TAILORED STREET FROCK
Uneven Hem Line and Panels That
Swing Free From Garment, ID
the Features. .,

The uneven hem line and panels that
swing free from the garment, two pop
ular style features, appear in a
tailored street frock. This dress is SO
simple that it might be made by any
home dressmaker, as the foundation
is merely straight line, chemise
dress. -Four swinging panels are set
on to the dress, one in the center
back, one in front and one on each
side. The back panel is a trif1e wider
than those at front and sides.
The dress was shown in navy silk
crepe, the panels faced with spark red
georgette and trimmed with bands of
embroidery in red, gold and green done
On navy. The girdle was merely a
band Of the embroidery finished with
gold thread tassles. The dress is q
slip-over and unlined. The fiared
sleeves have the red facing, and bands
Of embroidery finish them.
The uneven hem line is affected in
many ways. Longer panels are very
frequently seen, bur q skirt is often
cut frankly longer at one side than at
the other or long on both sides with
short back and front sections.
A charming frock Of silk crepe in a
caramel shade, recently seen, was cut
on the straight lines so generally &C
cepted and approved, but with one
side long enough to almost tip the
ground, while the other was eight or
nine inches from the ground. A sash
Of self-fabric tied at the long side
and with swinging ends accentuated
the effect. Collar and cuffs of brown
organdie and lace finished the frock
and constituted the only trimming. :

thing. The result was that the couple
caused endless amusement among the

thing had given tons of inaccurate
information to the girl who knew she
didn't know much the latter pointed
to the field and asked:
"What are those?"
