One Reads the Return of the
Tailored Suit in the Stars

It il being whispered from the
house tops that the classic tailleur is

f1vored in costumes. The straight
lines, the stitched lapels and the
sharply defined pockets are due. Like
the end of the world, it may not be
for many moons to come but astrol-
ogers point clearly to the fact that the
ultimate arrival is certain.
In the meantime the way is being
blazed by semi-tailored suits in which
the coat and skirt are 20 subdey
welded by bow or embroidery that
they look more like a dress than any
thing else. 1t makes a moment of
some embarrassment when lady
starts to take off the upper part of
enc of these costumes, but fears are
usually allayed at the sight of some
such blouse as was seen at a recent
gathering 1t was made of white
crepe Cinderella pleated in inch wide
pleats except for the short banded
sleeves and the plain belt which was
apparently continuation of the band
1t the side front.
Summer suits are Of course silk.
This one is of black crepe FaiIle
Moire. cut to show the beauty of the
material-a new weave from the
looms at South Manchester, Conn. A
rather straight skirt has the fullness
ail on one side draped in a manner
that makes it look as if it fell from
the great soft Sow which finishes the
enat. The tight sleeved coat is high
necked and fastens at the side from,
OF the neck with 4 button. The stand
ing collar has a turnover of white
crepe Cinderella, which also makes
NE cuffs and the lining to the bow.

REBELS MADE POOR SHOWING
Daniel shays' Followers in 1886 Caused

tie Real Trouble.

Shays' rebellion in Massachusetts In
17S6-S7, arose from a spirit of unrest
and lawlessness then generally on the
increase In the country, but more par
tieularly for special reasons for dis
satisfaction In Massachusetts. The
time was one Of financial depression.
Five hundred or 600 malcontents
banded under command Of Daniel
Shays. When the Court of General
Sessions attempted to sit at Worces-
ter, Shays filed the court room with
an armed force, and no court could be
held.
To cope with the insurgents Gov
ernor Bowdoin enlisted an army of A.
400 for 30 days. During an attack
on the Springfield arsenal four of the
rebels were killed. They retreated in
much confusion, continuing their fight.
with many assertions, from town TO
town. In the pursuit $50 were taken
and the rest dispersed. The rebels
continued to gather in small bands for
many months, but no large force again
appeared.
Clemency was shown to Shays and
his followers, but he had escaped to
Vermont, and lived there as a fugitive
from justice even many months after
he had been pardoned. Shays later
obtained a pension for services In the
Revolutionary war. There Is testi-
mony that he was good soldier.

Maql Hereditary Priests.

The Magi was the name given to the
hereditary priests of the ancient Per-
sian religion. They were not only 'the
keepers of the sacred things, the
learned Of the people, the philosophers
and servants of God" but also astrol-
ogers and OWNERS. They exercised
commanding influence in public af-
fairs, superintendent the education of
the young, and were the constant COM
panions Of the sovereign.
This order of priesthood, having
lapsed into luxury and Incidence, was
reorganized by Zoroaster about $50 B.
c., and re-established on its ancient
basis of simplicity and severity. Dur
ing the rule Of the Sassanian kings, the
Magi declined in Importance, and be-
came reduced to the ranks of wander
ing fortune tellers and quacks. The
word finally came to be used as a
generic term for astrologers in the East
and was given to the ''Wise Men, that
went to Bethlehem to seek the infant
Jesus.

CURED MONARCH OF AVARiCE
Power of Turning Everything he
Touched Into Gold Quickly PalIed
on King Midas.

1t was because King Midas helped
a drunken companion of Bacchus to
sober up that he received the power
of turning everything into gold at his
touch. Bacchus had offered to grant
Midas anything he asked, and the
king wished this unpleasant power
upon himself according to Ovid.
Midas enjoyed himself immensely
at first, turning twigs, apples, stones
and clods of earth into gold. But the
trouble began as soon as he sat down
to eat. The bread he touched turned
to gold and defied his teeth. The wine
flowed down his throat as liquid
gold.
According to an embellished YER
sion of the myth. the browning mis-
fortune wrought by Midas curse in
blessings guise was when. in the act
Of caressing his little daughter, he
turned the child into golden
statue.
Bacchus had been aware that the
gift was anything but desirable
So, believing Midas cured of 'avarice,
he sent the king to wash away the
power in the fountainhead of the
River Pactolus. AS result of his
bath, the sands of that river remain
golden to this day.

HOTEL MEN NOT ALL BAL

II think we're unjust to hotel men
as a rule. We are too ready to &C
cuse them Of robbery. AS a matter

Il once knew an engineer who was
trn Yelling In Nevada. He had good
deal of money with him, and one night
he put up at a very primitive hotei
In the wilds. The landlord OF this
hotel looked IKE a brigand, and the
engineer could hardly sleep for fear
Nothing, however, happened, and
the next morning he set off with a re
iieved heart. The mountain trail was
q lonely one, and on toward noon, in
a Wild and desolate spot three des-
peradoes fell on him, emptied his va.
lise and pockets, and made off.
1.-THE engineer was convinced thst
the landlord was at the bottom OF this
holdup. Accordingly he turned back
TO notify the authorities. But he had
only gone a mile or so when he met
q mounted messenger, who handed him
q small packet. Pinned to the packet
was note from the villelnous land
lord that said:

Early Church in America.

!. The Church of England, which be-
came the Episcopal church in America,
came with the very first settlers to
Virginia, before the Pilgrim Fathers of
1920 had settled at Plymouth.
Parsons throughout early Maryland
were paid their salary in tobacco. The
parsons worked hard for their pay in
this queer coin, for often they had to
ride many miles to their churches on
horseback through rough bride paths,
or sail the salt waters in frail skiffs.
One of these good men in Delaware,
at a place called APPOINTMENTS, was
practically bitten to death by mosqui-
toes, for he was so poisoned by them
that he died Of fever.
Episcopalians inherited from the
Swedish Lutherans at Wilmington, Old
Swedes church, built in 1893, and now
one Of the oldest buildings in the
United States continuously occupied
for worship.

sailors and Fishermen Alike Dreaded

When Fulton's steamboat, the Cler

were no better, and many schooner
was deserted and left to drift down
stream as the snorting, clanking,

Later 1t was made known along the
river what the thing was, and there
at once arose a great wave Of hate
lnstigated by boatmen who saw their
business ruined. and by fishermen who
were sure the noise Of the steamboat
would drive the fish to sea. Added to
them were hundreds of religious ia.

Third course: Spiced and seasoned
meat, with wine, red and white.
Fourth course; Pheasants. wood
cocks, partridges. larks, plovers.
Fifth course: Sweetbreads, white

custom to break the crust, vowing at
the same time to rescue some captive
ledy from some mythical monster or
die, though his vow, like the pie crust,
was made to be broken"
The pastries and loaves of bread
were not forgotten. Wine, ale and
beer were served. Three hours or
more were given over to the feast,

ting Away From Man Said to Pos
sess Wonderful Perception.

In Paris, there Is man who can tell
you where you came from; in what
kind of work you were engaged; how
long it is since you left the place; In
deed, he seems able to tell everything
there is to know about an individual,
and all his information is gathered
simply by examining the dirt Of ones
shoes.
Yes, this mud expert is just an ordi-
nary human being; In fact. at one time
he was merely q bootblack, but he
spent his spare moments studying the
different kinds of soil throughout
France. Now, he can tell whether a
person has journeyed from the north
or the south, just by casual glance ct
his shoes and when he examines the
dirt closely, he can give the name OF
the town or village any individual has
recently visited and, In nine times out
of ten, his answers are accurate.
In some parts Of Central America,
too, the natives perform this singular
feat. BY examining the dust and dirt
caked on ones automobile tires, they
can tell whence a person came, and,
by the degree Of dryness of the deposit,
they can accurately gauge at what
hour strange individual passed
through certain parts of the country.

BOON FOR PARTIALLY DEAF
Wireless Telephony Said to Have
Proved of Great Value In Restora-
ton of Hearing.

Wireless is being used to relieve
deafness. People who are hard OF
hearing usually have one ear worse
than the other, so that all the work
falls upon one organ, causing strain
and breakdown.
For some time ear specialists have
been trying to relieve deafness by re-
educating the weak ear so that 1t can
catch outside sounds. This has been
done by a machine fixed to the ear,
which makes simple sounds which
gradually impress themselves upon the
ear-drum, and so bring it back into
use.
Now, however, wireless telephony Is
being used The headpiece is the ordi-
nary receiver, and it's use brings the
sound of the human voice to the dull
ear without straining the other. After
some time the dull ear gets used to
the sounds and becomes seryiceable
