Tit-Rifa

A cinema director who had been
turning Riviera film was praising at
the Lambs club the food Of southern
France.
"You even found the French snails
good, eh?" said tea importer. "But
/ wonder how some Of the delicacies I
have seen in China would strike you
delicacies such as water-lily roots,
birds nests, ducks gizzards, bean mac
aroni, eggs that have been ripened for
years like cheese, timed earthworms.
marmalade made from roses, dog
steaks, dried and preserved oysters"
"All I can say" replied the cinema
director, sis that If ever go to China
to turn a film you may be sure I'll
never try the timed earthworms or
the dog beefsteaks."

Mrs. Blank had in her employ a
colored maid who belonged to a

Dinah would have to pay u fine if
she did not attend. gave reluctant
consent. At the appointed hour
Dinah's mistress saw her come down
the stairs, ready to go out. To Mrs.
Banks horror Dinah was dressed in
a bright scarlet dress with large
scarlet willow plume on her hat, and
red Earasol in her hand.

Age of AHigotors

The Department Of Agriculture says
that the age of an alligator can only
BE- determined by one who has had ex-
perience with these reptiles. Alllga-
tors grow very slowly and 1t is esti-
rnated that at fifteen years Of age
they are only two feet long; therefore,
q 12-footer may reasonably be pre-
sumed to be seventy-fve years Of age
The rate of growth varies with ani-
mails In their Wild state and those kept
IN captivity. and 1t is also governed
By the amount as well as the type of
food given.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Considerable Rat


when it comes to fight always
bet on the fellow that has no reputa-
ton" said the bos'n. THAT is be-
cause / know a reputation is the
whole thing in music and art and
literature. / went to concert once
and heard a fellow with a reputation
sing. Every one said it was great,
but it wasn't. Whenever l come to q
story that is particularly punla al
ways know that a fellow with a rep
did it. No one knows whether such
things are good or not unless there is
a reputation to go with 'em, but with
fighting it's different. There has to
be a showdown.
II remember a man in Java who
had a ferret Everybody ueed to
stand back from the ferret as if 1t
was a buzzsaw, and they used to feed
1t to keep it from eating them alive.
According to reputation that ferret
could kill rats in it's sleep. The hotel
man said he was willing to bet that
his ferret could kill more rats than
two cats.
This angered a fellow who owned
q cat. The cats owner said that his
cat had already licked nine dogs and
a camel, and that he could kill rats
while resting faster than couple of
| ferrets.
"Then l told them both that there
was a rat aboard the Slippery Sue
that was some rat. and that II they
were looking for a subject I'd set a
trap for the rat and the bet would be
on.
"They agreed. and the next night
the man took his cat to the hotel and
/ took my rat in a big cage. When
the cat was put down on the barroom
floor he looked around for leg to rub
against, and when the ferret was put
down he looked around for some
thing to eat.
"Then / told them to clear for ac-
ton, as / was going to let the rat out
and then look for something high. /
gave warning for nobody to get be-
tween me and the stepladder. The
rat was running around in the cage
like a sprocket in runaway band
wagon wheel. and when pressed
the spring he came out Of the trap
like one Of those Jokes where you
press a spring and get hit in the nose
by something that jumps out of the
box.
1.-THE rat hit the ferret. The ferret
said Squeak and away he flew, the
rat after him. Then the rat saw the
cat. The cat was soon scramhling
up post, nervous.
"All the spectators were on top of
the bar b. that time, all except me.
/ had climbed up to the scantling near
the ceiling and pulled the stepladder
up after me.
The rat showed his teeth in a
kind of sneering way and then crawl
ed off. suppose he went back to the
Sue.
Anyway, he had gone into the
fight without any reputation. And
always bet on the fellow who has a
rep to make just on account of that
little happening"

WAYS OF TELLING
i LOVES OLD STORY
Different Nations Cling to
Time-HonOred Customs.

Loves old story repeats itself In
every cline, and weddings In other
parts Of the world differ from the
American ceremony only in details OF
costumes and local customs. The ten
der emotions that I'LL the heart Of a
bride when she stands before the altar
are the same, whether the ceremony
be celebrated In China or Chicago.
And Easter is popular time for we'd
dlngs the world around, the same as
June.
In rural parts Of Germany, instead
of the conventional engraved wedding
invitation, a professional messenger Is
employed to invite guests to the we'd
ding. AS his tall figure passes through
the streets, there Is an air of eager ex-
pectancy among the villagers, for 1t Is
not known to whom the magic words
Of invitation may come says the San
Antonio Express. The messenger an
nounces his mission in loud, sonorous
tones, then proceeds to the next house
on his list.
When a young man In Austria feels
matrimonially inclined. he presents the
girl Of his choice bunch Of flowers
as she comes from church on Sunday
morning. If she accepts the floral trib-
ute he calls at her home a few days
later and the budding romance pro
ceeds to its customary elimination.
In Saxony the groom, his best man
and the ushers wear, instead Of the
conventional black suit, q long kimono-
like garment trimmed with lace and
rufTles, with lunches Of flowers in the
bands of their broad-brimmed hats.
/ The bride carries linen handkerchief
which is sometimes as large as small
tablecloth. The size Of the kerchief
indicates the wealth of the brides par
ents.
In Slav weddings the bridegroom
fetches the bride from the home Of her
parents, a custom emblematic of the
practice of his forebears who carried
their mates away forcibly. At AL
bantam weddings it is correct for the
bride to weep and show great reluc-
lance in leaving home The bride
groom must present his betrothed with
a handsome dress for the marriage, no
matter how poor he may be.
OF all oriental marriage ceremonies
those Of Japan In the month when the
cherry trees are in full blossom are
the most beautiful. After making the
momentous decision to accept each
other "for better, for worse" the young
couple consult the soothsayers to de
ternine on what day they should wed
to insure good fortune throughout
their married life The ceremony is
usually performed in the afternoon,
and at sunset the bride enters her
"kaga," or carrying hammock, and sets
out for her new home. She is followed
by gift-bearers who display the we'd
ding presents to spectators along the
streets.
The ceremony Of the bath" is a
quaint feature Of the Egyptian we'd
ding. On her wedding morning the
young bride-to-be, accompanied by her
girl friends and several musicians, sets
out for the public bath, riding on a
camel Above her head Is a canopy
of bright-colored silk, topped with
punches of palm leaves. After the
bride and her friends have bathed to-
gether, they are entertained by flute
players, singers and story tellers.

Blue and Red Are Used
for New Fall Millinery

Olympic blue and cyclamen red, an
other of the falls favorites for au-
tumn millinery, are attractive in new
silks and in velvets. The blue is par
ticularly hard to describe, says a
writer in the Kansas City Star. Per
haps the suggestion of one who has
been looking at it in the New York
fashion show and buying it for her
clientele, as APPLY describes its par
ticular tone as anything one could
think of. She says it is the soft tone
Of bankers ink before it has dried and
turned into black 1t is not a dark
blue, however. Rather the blue Of a
sky or the sea when there is not too
much vivid light.
A set bought for street wear and
which really would serve many occa.
sions is made of this Olympic blue COM
bined with black. The crown and top
of the hat is made of the blue benga-
line. The brim is faced with black.
The only trimming is a sweep of black
monkey fur at one side of the crown
extending over the brim and merging
into the neckpiece, which is blue
trimmed in the monkey.

one of pepper, three of sugar, one of
powdered mustard, two pods of red
pepper, sliced and with seeds removed,
and a small muslin bag containing one
tablespoonful of whole allspice, one
of bits of cinnamon bark, one of pep
per corns and one of whole cloves. Boil
rapidly for about two hours, or until
thick; then add two cupfuls Of vinegar;
boil again, if necessary to thicken fur
Their, after taking out the spice bag.
Pour into scalded bottles and seal,
while hot, with new corks. one-half

the small hat, whether it is built on
close or on generous lines, is neees-
sary.
A supreme cause for rejoicing in the
new millinery is the return of tine
large and the larger hat.
The large hat is very smart with the
straight gowns, worn by woman of
slim figure, and is much improved by
the addition of scarf, one of almost
any material, so it be modish in color,
of chiffon or crepe, fur-trimmed, re-
peating some one feature in the hat.
MEDIUM hats making for comfort,
convenience and youthfulness, are the
achievement Of the hour. Only mas
ter hand, knowing types. traditions
and something of the psychology Of
bonnets, can make smart medium"
hat. Yet one of these, when it is done
with a subtle something in millinery
craftsmanship, is far more distin-
guished than either of the extremes.

Rugs Car, Be Cleaned at
Home With Good Success

Rag and lightweight cotton rugs can
be washed in the tub or the washing
machine in lukewarm soapsuds, like
any other heavy colored material, but
they must be rinsed thoroughly to pre-
vent them from looking grimy. Spread
ing the wet rug on the grass and turn
ing the hose on it, or dashing pals of
water over it, is sometimes the easiest
and best way Of rinsing, the United
States Department of Agriculture says.
Wooden rugs may also be cleaned at
home successfully If there are good
facilities for drying. Spread the rug
on table or other fiat surface of con-
venient height and scrub with heavy
lather Of mild soap, using a soft brush
or a sponge. AS soon as section is
scrubbed clean rinse it with water !;
change as soon as it becomes discol-
ored.

Fashion Asserts
Cloche Is Passe
Latest Style Hats Include
Rolling Brim; Winsome
Large Models.

Tradition says that woman whose
hat, boots and gloves are right is well
dressed, whatever frock she may be
wearing, says a fashion writer in the
New York Times. With certain quail
fcations, it is a safe rule, but it leaves
much for the couturier to do to meet
the present-day model. The three ac-
more attention now than ever before,
but there is still an indefnable some
thing to be desired, and the artist who
finds it is distinguished.
The one part of the fashionable cos
tune that has shown most rad cal
changes this season is the bonnet. The.
universally popular little cloche, which
became habit and was worn regard
less of any question Of becomingness,
of propriety or taste as to time or
place, has at last gone into the dis
card. Several times it's doom was
efforts to win favor for some other
type of chapeau, but the vogue of the
cloche was tenacious and was given
up reluctantly.
In its place. and keeping somewhat
to the same line and feeling, is a close
hat of similar character, more gener-
Gus in the crown, but with a snug roll
ing brim framing ringlets or water
waves" Another shape meeting the
preference Of the woman to whom it
iS wall S1itnd shades thn face with q
narrow brim straight, or slightly
dropping, and rolling gradually toward
the back, where it turns up close to
the crown.
These hats are strictly, tailored and
have practically no trimming but a
narrow bard of ribbon or leather, a
tiny cravas bow or buckle, usually iii
rectly in front. Sports hats are softer,
of velvet. felt, stitched cloth, or ribbed
