 crows feet under the eyes. It is too arduous task for the average per son. He is far better advised to follow the fashion in general way without regard for mere fads and fOibles which appear only to disappear. Sir Thomas Browne once remarked that it is the common wonder of all men that among so many millions there should be none alike" Every style cannot be adopted literally by every man. Differences in cut, color and cloth are essential on ac- count of differences in height, build and cast of features. True fashion is be- comingness to the individual false fash ion is fashion for fashions sake.
 Take the cross-striped shirt, for ex- ample. This style should not be worn by the stout or full-faced man as it tends to give him an appearance of more breadth. On the other hand, or rather chest, it. looks very we'll on the slim figure which seems to gain in width by horizontal stripes, just as the high, narrow face is flattered by the wing collar and the bow-knot tie. Thees are little things, but correct dress is made of just such attention to ap- parent trifles.
 The cross-striped shirt, portrayed in the. accompanying sketch, is made of hefty madras having q wide center box pleat. The stripes are in contrasting color upon light ground. The smart effect of this shirt is enhanced by the

 had not made these lovely things. Nor had Raggedy Andy. The two mean old witches, Minga and Munga Witch, had made them, and it all happened because the Raggedys had changed the charms of the two witches so that the witches could not work any mean magic any more. So, when the two witches tried to send a magic club to bang the poor man on his head instead of the club coming to hit the poor ! man, he found the lovely cake all ready to eat.

Germany's Foremost Artists And Writ.
 CTS Assisted In Making Picture
 Germany, having laid aside it's wean- ons of war and resumed the literary scientific and artistic efforts in which 1t has always been so successful. is about to spread through the world what has long been considered one of the most inspiring stories ever con. celYed of noble self-sacrifice and unrest love. P"'e0'
 In what amounts to a great national un9ertaking the old Teutonic legends which Richard Wagner immortaIized in ms operas of 'The Niebelungen Ring. i" have been given new life, and soon the thrilling adventures of Siegfried. Brunnhilde and all those other romantic figures will be made familiar to mil hons who in no other way could know and enjoy them and profit from the ! lesson they teach.
 The motion picture films of 'STbe Nlebeiungen," which have recently been completed, are in no sense an ordinary commercial enterprise. In the past many different producers have wanted to make such films, but their ambitions have been frowned on. Germany felt these legends were too beautiful, too sacred to be put on the screen until if could be done in a thoroughly adeuuate and reverent way. <
 The films, which had their first show ing the other day, and which are being so enthusiastically praised even by French critics. are the work of coali. tiOn of all the best motion picture pro- ducers in Germany. Lending financial interests supplied them with ample cap ital and they had the advice and active assistance of some of the nations fore most artists and writers.-Arkansas Ga zette

 The Raggedys and the poor man pick ed a great many lolly-pops and carried them to the house on wheels and it was while the poor man was inside putting the Jolly pops away that the Raggedys heard rustic in the bushes behind them and turned to see the two witches, Minga and Munga.

ARDEN's ROLE NOT HIS
Man After 23 Years Forces Annul-
 ment of Wifo's Second Marriage

The dictates of legal tones and the merciful tendencies of Supreme Court Justice Dike in Brooklyn came into conflict recently, and legal justice won over humane inclination. The justice assailed Robert H. Boyd for claiming to be the husband of Isabelle F.. Atkin- son after he had been missing for thirty years he sympathized with the woman who searched for seven years and then was married to Blanchard P. Atkinson he told of his regret in being forced by the law to annual this second marriage, which has stood for g years, but he erased that union.
 Boyd was married in 1881 in Jersey City. In 1894 he deserted his wife, who sought him for seven years and then married Atkinson. Recently Boyd was found in a charitable institution in the Bronx, and he emerged to break into the domestic life which had gone along happily and contentedly in se- curity for 23 years. He forced the an- nulment proceedings which Atkinson regretfully brought against his wife. Justice Dike could do nothing legally leaving her an elderly woman, married for 43 years, now without her home or support

 First, the poor man gave Minga a hard thump, making her drop Raggedy Ann and run bowling down the path, then he gave Munga hard thump, making her drop Raggedy Andy and run bowling down the path.
 ''There!" the poor man cried, just let me catch you around here again and you'll get worse than that!" Then he and the Raggedys went inside and the little house on wheels rolled away from the fields of lolly-pops and on down the path, farther into the deep, deep woods.

MARY YATES

Mary Yates was 8 celebrated actress whose maiden name was Graham, wSs born about 1737, and made her theat- rical debut in Dublin in 1752. but her performance was so poor that Mir. Sher- idan, the manager, was glad to dissolve her engagement by present. However. necessity urged her to another attempt, and in 1754 she appeared at Drury Lane, London, but was not oversuc- cessful On her marriage with Mir. Yates, under whose instruction her tal- ents first developed, Mfr, Garriek re- eeiyed her again at Drury Lane. and she soon became the first tragic actress of the day. She also excelIed in comedy and her personal appearance was, very attractive.

wing collar and the medium width tie showing bright diagonal stripe in the pattern.
 It may be emphasized anew that the practice of wearing all-white shirts has never been countenanced by the best style. White is essentially and tra- ditionally formal color, just as black is. That is why it is the invariable &C., compartment of evening dress. More over, the all-white shirt evinces no par ticular taste upon the part of the wear CT and gives him set, stodgy, stand ardized look. On top of that, white soils most easily. and particularly in soft materials with soft cuffs is almost impossible to keep spic-and-span even for few hours, Therefore, colored shirt, even if only faintly striped, checked or figured, is always advisable.

Mr.. S. w. Sherrell, OF Nashville, Ten

education in that state, gave a very
beneficial lecture on the subject OF
reading. He developed the three es-
sentials derived from a page OF print

to well known articles OF literature.
His lecture was instructive to all.
Heretofore the number OF visitors at

the first occasion that any visitors APP
peared in large numbers. Quite a
crowd was on hand. The public is cor
daily invited to attend these chapel

We have finished the classic, Mac

left the bulk of his 100000 estate in

property is we'll worth 100000, and

about it.
And then Ellen is rather canny. She
realizes that she may lose the estate
