 Tend to Pr0I0ng Life

Boston, Jan. 25.--- The chances of a Harvard athlete for long life are excellent, according to figures com piled by Dr. W. II. Geer, director of physical education at the college, and a insurance statistician.
 Of former baseball players who, by all the calculations of insurance ex- perts should now the dead, 3l per cent are still in the land of the living, and the percentage is the same among oarsmen. Of men who had been on the track team only 26 have died, this being 2S per cent of tthe ordinary average. Of former foot ball players, however, s7 per cent of those calculated to have died have fulfilled expectations.
 The figures were obtained from the records of 52S men who won their letters at Harvard previous to 1900.

Cleveland, Jan. 25.-Marty Burke, string bean heavyweight, is back in town after hunting trip in the west with Jack Dempsey. MT. Burke re- turned minus his gorgeous collection of freckles, and his countenance pre- scented such a startling change that even his friends failed to recognize him.
 In years gone by MT. Burke claim cd the freckles championship Of the world and nobody else was even close. But things have changed Now Mir. Burke is very sheikish in his facial aspects. Not a single freckle remains to brighten up his Celtic pan. A beauty bath and a series of messages at the hands Of Los Angeles special lsts created the transformation.
 MT. Burke, however, will continue to do his stuff in the prize ring. One of his opponents in an early match will be Senor Luis Firpo. This match is to be held at New Orleans in the spring.

Notre Dame claims another ath- letic celebrity. This time it's on the basketball court. His name is Grove. He's forward. And according to the Irish supporters he is a coming lum- mary. In the recent game with Michigan Grove was the big noise, and it was mainly through his sensational work that the South Bend troupe sprung bit of a sur, prise by whipping Michigan. Grove, indeed, will bear watching.
 Charles Bachman, former Notre Eame star, now coaching at the Kansas Agric Iltural College, i1as turned down an offer to succeed Fred Dawson as football coach at Nebras- ka. Dawson is athletic director as well as football coach. Poor health has caused him to request the Ne braska institution to relieve him of the duties of the gridiron. Dawson is the jinx of Coach Knute Rockne of Notre Dame. He has twice in success sion defeated Rockne's great teams.
 A year ago Pancho Villa was the most popular midget in the game, due to his extreme willingness to battle in the ring. Now he is very unpopular, due to his unwillingness to battle. The Filipino hasn't met a worthwhile opponent in months and he. persistently refuses to meet Frankie Genaro. who has beaten him twice.
 The Cincinnati Reds is one of the best clubs in either major league, in the opinion of Manager McGraw of the New York Giants. He admits his pitching must be strengthened if he is to ward off the rush of Moran's crew.

Since the inception of the scarf earlier in the season, this fragile bit of adornment has undergone some interesting changes in style. The heavy knitted scarf was pop ular for street wear at first, but Is now used almost exclusively for sports wear. The sheer silks, chif- ions and knitted fibre silk scarfs in light shades are just right for wear at this time. Lace frocks, which one wears at dinner or to the dance. also carry the scarf. But these scarfs' are usually of lace or chiffon with a hand-painted motif of flowers at each end.
 At smart tea party recently the beauty of a white georgette frock was enhanced by a narrow scarf of black Chantilly lace which reached to the hem of the frock.
 Batik scarfs are lovely, and if the colors are skilfully blended one can wear this sort of scarf with any color frock.

Bathing Suits of 1924

been considered a pretence of modesty, the new knitted bathing suit clings closely to the figure and permits freedom of movement. Knitted knickers are attached to the tunic and the costume is slipped on in a moment.
 Bathing capes come in for con- sideration during the Summer vogue. They are to be had in knitted patterns so fine as to be considered worthy of more formal wear. Then there are bathing capes of lovely hue which match the suit with which they are worn. These are usually of worsted knitted into an interesting design by which the cape allies itself to the bathing suit.
 One can choose a bathing cap of rubber from the demure sunbonnet type to the pure uncolored rubber cap which merely protects the hair from moisture. Rubber fowerss rosettes, streamers and bows arc among the new trimmings seen om bathing millinery.

I want you to be positive of your own strength so that you will have nothing to regret. Then we can leave every thing behind, with perfect assur- ance of our future happiness"
 She looked at him tenderly and two great tears welled in her eyes. He wiped them away and smiled.
 "Now, that won't do at all, Katharine. And neither will this.'' lifting her gently from his knee. If I'm to get our magazine cover finished and make heaps of money on which to keep two households, we'll have to hustle"
 He lifted her in his arms and carried her across the room to the platform where she had been DOS ing for him all afternoon. She clung to him for a moment as he put her down and he shook his head despairingly.
 "Terriblei" he laughed. "WiII the future Mrs. Preston kindly al- low her future husband to do a little work?"
 She made a little bow and strengthened into the pose she had held earlier in the day. Preston picked up his palette, daubed at the canvass and seemed absorbed in his work.
 At tea time, he again flung the brushes from him impatiently.
 SID into your wrap, dear" he suggested, land we'll step down to the Blue Cat for tea. It will be a little change of atmosphere for both of us.'
 She obeyed willingly and ap- peared few moments later in the dressing room doorway, ready to join him. Preston had taken off his smock and was waiting. They walked to the tea room, which was an afternoon rendezvous for the community literati and as Kitty walked through the groups of tables in search of a comfortable corner, she he.rd a familiar voice greet her.
 "Come on and join us, old pals. {"
 She looked over to see Jack Sheridan beckoniLg hospitably. Preston nodded and they went for ward to join the man who had been their recent host at the first gay st dio party Kitty had at- tended.

THERE were days of moody
 silence following Preston's
 A mad declaration of his love. Kittys emotions were in conflict, too, for she was gradually becom- ing conscious of the seriousness of the step they contemplated. She noticed Preston's sudden bursts of irritation, his gentle solicitude which followed. She wondered, for the first time, what sort of husband he would prove to be.
 Kitty told him of her mothers faith in him and her revelation seemed only to irritate him fur ther.
 "Oh, hang it all," he exclaimed suddenly one day, throwing his brush against the palette with an ugly jerk. q guess I'm just a plain rotter. I'd no right to let you know. I should have been man enough to fight it down."
 Kitty was all sympathy. She stepped from the platform where she had been posing and ap- preached him with the gentle sym pathy he adored.
 Please don't go on like that" she murmured, her face close to his. "That sort of thing hurts ter ribly. You make me feel as if I'd turned thief and robbed you of your peace of mind.'

 Vivid colors predominate. Mild as we considered the blues and greens of last season, we are to view with calm eyes such splashes of color as scarlet, violet, orange and pink. A few of the more dar- ing designers have launched colorful rubber belt as trim ming.
 On first thought these daring colors would seem audacious, but, on the contrary, they are so art. fully combined with lines, checks, blocks, plaids and all-oVer pat terms, we are scarcely conscious of their vivid presence.

Summer Scarfs in Style

XUYoMEN are beginning to w realize s the absurdity of
 " the Summer fur scarf and are taking kindly to the silk scarf as a shoulder drapery.
 After a few seasons of the style which demanded that the sheer frock be touched at the neckline with a strip of fur, one does not feel quite dressed unless there is a scarf of some kind to drape about the throat. This undoubtedly is one of the reasons the silk scarf craze has been carried along into the midsummer mode.
 Sheer chiffon scarfs in pastel shades are among the midsummer novelties. One can select a col ored scarf for every frock, al- though the scarf and the frock need not match precisely in color. A blue linen frock shows a scarf of brilliant red chiffon and a pom gee suit is adorned by a scarf of canary yellow, red, blue, violet or green Canton crepe.

 Answer-Lemon juice will re. move almost any fruit stain. Sim. ply rub half lemon on the stains and you will see them disappear as you rub. Put a piece of cotton on the end of an orange-wood stick dip 1t in lemon juice and use this for removing the stain from around and under the nails.

Possibilities of Japanese Paper

URING those long Summer days when time lags heavily
 a fascinating occupation can be found in making dainty decora- tions of Japanese paper.
 The home, during its Autumn renovation, can be made brighter and more comfortable by the touches of decoration which are as utilitarian as they are attrac- tive. A lampshade for the bridge lamp, tray on which tea service is placed, screen for the tele- phone. These accessories can cas- fly be fashioned of the Japanese crepe paper seen in the stationery department of your favorite shop.
 Japanese crepe paper is heavier and tougher of fibre than the or dinary crepe paper. It comes in natural color, but this paper takes paint or shellac readily and is, therefore, excellent for stencilling or painting.
 The lampshade is made by cut ting a circular pattern of the paper and folding this paper about the wire foundation. The joining seam can be stitched and covered with the same braid which finishes the lower edge of the shade, or the covering can be fastened by brass paper-holders thrust through the overlapping seam and spread on the inner side.
 Trace on to the paper the pat tern you intend painting and you can touch in the color after the shade is made. In applying the paint, it is a good idea to hold the shade over an electric bulb, so that the pencil tracing shows up very
