III within 81 miles Of the Yosemite
valley. Here the snow averaged
three and one-half feet in depth.
rms point was reached at 3 o'clock
sunday morning, and after three
hours rest the cars started on the
last and most difficult leg of their
journey.
NO sleds or tackle Of any descrip-
tlon were used and the cars battered
thelr way through the snow under
their own power. The method fol-
lowed was to open the throttle to it's
limit and buck into the snow until
progress was stopped. Then it was
case of backing away and charging
INTO the snow like a battering ram
rms performance was repeated time
after time. hour after hour until the
valley was reached, the cars being
forced to show tremendous power
ana stamina in battling their way
through the drifts.
Clair Marston of the Franklin Com
pany says that a Franklin car has
more lives than a cat and tells the
following story: Gustav Klinger, Of
2O9 Linwood street. Brooklyn, N. V,
is proprietor of a "one man" barber
shop. but he is also somewhat of a
mechanical genius. A short time
ago. a waggish patron offered him an
automobile free if he would come and
set it. He did not tell Klinger, how
ever. that the machine was a Frank
lin roadster of the vintage of 1903
and serial number 10. which means
that 1T was the 10Th car turned out
at the Franklin factory. When
klinger came to get his car, he
found it was entirely disassembled
and had laid in a barn in that con-
dition for moro than ten years. He
secured a push-cart, piled the dis
assembled ca rinto it, and succeeded
in getting it to the yard in the rear
of his shop at the Linwood street adj
dress. With rare patience. klinger
commenced putting the old car to-
gethcr. Gradually it began to take
form and despite the taunts of jocu-
lar patrons, he kept steadily at his
labor of love. The work progressed
slowly, for klinger could work only
between shaves. With liberal doses
of kerosene oil, he loosened the rust
ed parts and succeeded in assem-
bling the motor, which ran across the
frame, instead of parallel with the
side members. Several parts were

piston rings and spliccd up the old
chain extending from the planetary
transmission in front to the rear

car consented to run again-and run

humber of times and is much pleased
with its. operation. He says ne is

and may border the edge II the self
collar or they may form the entire
collar in themselves. The former
theme was employed in a handsome
AFFAIR worn at a recent fashionable
reception. The cap1 was OF black
velvet, marvelously embroidered
about the lower edge and half way to
the waist in gold threads. And the
roses bordering tina collar complet-
ed the whole, giving a touch Of chic
which was distinctly tf Partisan
origin.
Embroidered capes OF velvet are
playing an important part in the
world of fashion. Metal threads are
used as a rule, and an elaborate de-
sign is followed. There doesn't
seem to be any limit TO he extraya-
sance of the pressnt-day mode, par
ticularly in the matter of evening
wraps. I came across an unusual
AFFAIR in a little shop devoted to the
exclusive. 1t had started its career
as a priests robe in the interior OF
India. And 1t boosted the intricate
work and the rich coloring for which
that country is known. Although IL
was still q square, or rather an oh
long piece, with nothing done TO
change it from its original state.
the woman who carried II home in
triumph will wear It to her next af-
fair and be the envy OF all her
friends.
Sewn on the inside at the proper
place were two bands, through which
h arms were TO be thrust. and
these were so applied that tho gar
ment when worn hung in a point at
tho back. with the corresponding
point turned back to form a fat coll
lar. 1t really made a stunning cane.
and the material was the last word
in richness.
It does seem as II a stunning cane
adds something to the evening cos
tune which is not to be obtained in
any other way. don't you think?
There is such an air OF sophistication
about IT, and such a graceful charm.
that the a%rbitrators OF fashion can
never make up their minds TO discard
IT, Other styles may come and go,
but the cape remains a necessary
part OF the smart toilet for formal
wear.

appalling number of them who give
the impression of not knowing them
selves? Undoubtedly that is the
case. Just suggest to any woman
that she shouldn't wear this. or
should wear that, and she is piqued
TO the point OF making a catty re-
mark. Why. there is an Incredibly
large number of women who think
that they can get away with any
thing! Fads alone are conclusive
proof of that. As a matter Of fact.
Just one woman in n thousand can
carry off ever half the fads that
present themselves in her lifetime.
And she is most of the time the per-
feet thirty-six whose 5 feet s may be-
coaxed into piquancy as well as
heightened into regality. Nor is the
5 foot 5 sufficient; for she must in
addition be a perfect im~personator of
several diverse types.
Is II Conceiti
So II you have come to the concIu-
sion that you are above mere type"
then you thereby credit yourself
with being the perfect t~hirty-six and
a clever character i~mpersonator as
well. Now, isn't conceit to blame
for most of the failure to be ones
own true self in dress and manner?
ANY woman can classify herself II
she only has the inclination and then
takes the time. Surely you know
whether you T tall or short, svelte
or embonpoint; certainly you can
tell whether you are light. dark or
medium. And as for your character,
no one can read that quite as we'll as
yourself. il you will only be UNI
biased in your judgment. Remem-
bel that it's the woman who is true

Consider Your Inches.
Perhaps you have known some n
of the petite" too to err grossly in
the matter Of types. 1t is not an I'M
common sight to see a woman meas
uring not nor than 4 feet 10 "act
up" to the part that should be played
by her sister OF 5 feet 10. She bears
herself with a hauteur that must
needs provoke smiles from the
really interested observer. There is
emphasized dignity in everything
she does. She dresses tall and top
heavy. and in 4 word, just bungles
through everything because she has
failed to study herself. or better
still. to classify herself.
Is it because so many women
think themselves above definite
classification that there is such an
