All this time the black fellow re-
scmblng A cross between roach and a
spider, runs round and round the walls
o nights, having gay time In buglikc
fashion.
Just where the critter lives during the
day no one knows, as he never comes
out until dark. Then he makes up for
lost time.
Perhaps he has den in the coal bin

This coal bin suspicion had It's incep-
ton when the bug was first seen. The
light having been snapped on, II cast
Its Edisonesque rays squarely upon the
polished surface OF the Big Bug.
He was spraddled out on the side wall
In neat contrast TO the whitewashed
cement wall which flanked him. His
shell fairly glistened. He stood out like
chunk OF coal might have. had 1t been
glued to the surface feet above the
general level OF the pile.
The Bug however. was canny.
He had a Plan of Action.
Caught by that most inimIcal OF
forces light. the deadly foe to all bug
life. he reasoned within his intelligent
cells that to move would be to reveal
himself
So he stood still.
This Napoleon of bugs. crafty. con-
summate put his insect faith In immo-

why should hurry on and give N.Y.
self away?" he seemed to be saving to
himself
Certainly he looked evil enough.
Like the remainder OF his tribe the
Bug held a certain deadly. malevolcnt
look In his curious makeup.
These things are not human, they are
not even animal.
Even serpent has friendly aspects,
compared TO one OF these lovers of dark-
ness.

Some Fashions of 1880


Just as we have adjusted ourselves
to the flat-as-possible line at the back
and have accustomed ourselves to see
ing all the trimming of skirt ar
ranged at the front a number of the
influential French dreSSmakers have
decided that the time Is ripe for an
1880 revival And in 1880 anything
suggesting fiatneSs at the back was
considered out of the question entirely,
Frocks were made with all the fullneSs
punched up at the back and to make
sure that the bunch would be perma-
nent buStles were worn,
No one suggests buStleS at present
though some Of the dreSsmakerS may
have that as surprise to spring upon
us before long. but many of the frocks
displayed - and some Of them have
been worn with very smart effect by
women Of faShion-Show real hustle
effect.
Premet's new silhouette. while not
usually showing an actual hustle effect
IS characterized by considerable full
ness at the back with the dipping down
st the front that is also reminiscent of
$50. Sometimes the back of the skirt
SHOWS series OF gathered lESIS Nullc
the front of the skirt is smooth save
for the curved drapery produced by
the drawing up toward the bac&-alSo
Characteristic OF 1880!
Another detail inspired by the mode
OF the same epoch is the use of narrow
ru1aeS around the skirt that mount
upward toward the back.
One good turn deserves another and
there are other details of this period
that might find favor with women who
yearn for a real change in fashions
The curled bang. for instance-with the
back hair drawn back and arranged
