Needle as Badge of Honor.

Today If one friend met another,
particularly a man, wearing in public
a threaded needle stuck conspicuously
upon his coat, the adorned one would
barely survive the badinage. Yet, in
England, for many years, the needle
and thread was badge which no man
disdained to parade, 1t being an hon.
ored custom for the bursar of Queens
college, Oxford, to present needle
and thread to each student upon New
Years day with the advice: Take
this, and be thrifty"
The custom originated with Robert
de Eglesfield, founder Of Queens col
lege, in 1910, and has continued
through to the present day. Now, how
ever, 1t is merely a ceremonial as
most performances Of old customs are,
and few of the young men ever use,
much less display, the gift thus made.
Formerly the needles were stuck on
the collars Of the students, kept In
readiness to mend any holes they
might find in their garments.

rather short box coats, lead in popu-

of them plain and close fitting, others
more roomy and slightly fiaring.
While Lady Fashion clings per
sistently to simplicity of design
and line in frocks and gowns. she
makes up for this restraint by gayly
indulging in vagaries in other direc-
tions. Neye were accessories so ex-
travagant and so heartily sponsored
by stylists. All kinds of attention is
given to the thousand and one small
belongings that tone up dress and
make the kaleidoscope of the styles
always fascinating. Famous designers
are much occupied with small details

FORCED TO CALL FOR FIRE
How Resourceful Woman Of Early
Days Brought Her Careless
Husband to Time.

The fuel question became important
in a little farmhouse in the hills of
Schuyler county, New York, eighty
years ago. Young John Corley, the
owner, was a good provider'' and
always had big woodpile, but one
summer the supply of split wood ran
out, and during the rush of haying he
fell into the bad habit of splitting
just enough for one day at time
Sometimes the supply did not last
through the day, and his wife had to
scrape up chips and even swing the
ak herself. She was patient during
the busy season, but when Johns bad
habit persisted in the comparative
leisure of fall and early winter she
protested and finally threatened to
'do something desperate If this goes
on much longerr'
One evening while John was at the
tavern swapping yarns" he and his
companions were startled by the cry
of Fire. Firel Fire!'
They rushed out and looked for
signs of smoke, but they could see
none. Still the cry rang out sharp on
the frosty air. They ran toward 1t
and stopped In front of John Corley's
gate, where his usually serene and
well-poised wife was standing.
"Where's the fire?" they cried
There isn't any," she replied calm
ly, cor any wood split to build It
That's why Tn calling for It,"
The joke was on John, but he took
1t in good part. And never again did
his wife have occasion to call "Firel'
or to mention wood during their long
and happy married life-Youth's Com
panion.

Worm Holes.

A manufacturer of faxed antiques in
Europe gobbles up a shipment of oak
which had been exported from Amer
lea and refused by the customer be-
cause it was worm eaten. The antique
man is highly pleased; says 1t saves

FASHION is again dallying with the
L art Of the Orient without combining
itself to any particular country or
period. The influence of China is seen
in costumes and millinery. There are
new developments In costumes that

to India and last but not least, to
Persia, and this Persian influence
promises to add great deal Of novel

designs inspired by jewelry, or other
ornamental things from all corners of
the earth, and their vogue shows no
sign of waning.
New gloves for fall are well repre-
scented by kid gauntlets in two colors
and by gloves with cuffs, as shown in

"cradle of American Liberty" Was
Built by Son Of French Hu-
puenot Refugee.

An interesting romance is woven
around old Faneuil hall in Boston,
often referred to as the cradle Of
American liberty" Andrew Faneuil,
a French Huguenot, was driven from
home by the revocation of the edict of
Nantes. He fled to Holland, and
thence to America, and was admitted
by the governor and council of Massa-
chusetts Bay colony Feb. l. 1851. He
VAS an able business man, and became
the richest man in the colony through
trade In a general store. His fortune
missed to his son, Peter, and Peter
proved both a practical and public
spirited man. He offered to erect a
public market building at his own ex-
pense if the town would provide proper
regulation. The farmers, accustomed
70 peddle from house to house, OPP
uosed this plan, but it passed by a
ma iority of the TOT votes cast.
Peter Faneuil did more than he
had promised, for in addition TO the
market he built a second story with a
hall for town meetings and other pub
lie functions. on August %, 1765. the
hrst mass meeting of protest against
the stamp act took place in the hall
The meetings 10 protest against the
rea tax were held in the hall in 1ff3,

He looked about him thoughtfully.
Not far away something cleaned In a

He heaved himself to his feet IN
steadily, made for a ditch where
there was a glitter OF water, and
bathed the tender side of his head.
The water revived him; save for a
cut under his hair. no serious damage
was done, though the blow might
easily have cracked a weaker skull.

He picked up the pistol, was about

flung 1t in the ditch. The other auto
matte was nowhere TO be seen. Billy
walked towards the Sphinx, the head

His hand swung against a large lump
projecting from the side Of his coat.
He halted and dragged out the leather
case. Billy had forgotten its exist
