Black cats are eyed with horror by
railroad men, but dogs are considered
lucky. Cross-eyed people avoid ap-
preaching American engine cabs be-
cause they are evil omens liable to be

Their proper function is to sit on the
first seat of the rear coach, thereby
comforting one days luck on the con-
ductor. AS a matter of fact, while the
engine driver is giving his steed

at him are considered unlucky unless
they are accompanied by children.
Accidents on United States lines are
believed to occur in triplets. An en-

novel and beautiful than ever.
1t is evident that most of the French
couturiers are in a flowery mood.
Buttonh0le bouquets give feminine
touch to suits and ensembles from
Paris, little clusters of flowers catch

trim hats both brimmed and I'M

makes little bouquets matched to flow

ried in the hand. Worth adds flower
ruffs and collars most effectively to
evening frocks-which all goes to con-
firm the welcome return of flowers to
the style picture.
1t adds zest to the vogue in that
so many of the newer flower treat

The brakeman supports the driver in
his observance of superstitious rites
by never carrying his lamp above his
waist. To do so is considered fatal.
But the strangest of all tales of
railway superstition is the story of

Many of the dresses which are be-

from the sartorial landscape, who can
tell? However, why lament the past

is being run from the knife pleat-
ed and box pleated skirt-the lat
ter being especially smart this
season-to the cape ensemble
which is pleated from head to
foot like the model in the picture.
This swanky street ensemble
typifies the pleated vogue to per-

Here's a secret about the cum

on the part of the designer, do
ing away with carrying the cape
on the arm when not in use at
the same time that it practically makes
two dresses out of one.
The crepe used for this frock car

green on white ground. Colorful eff

good this season. Navy blue kid shoes
and navy straw hat complete the
costumes. Thus stunning color

this ensemble.

So the frogs copied Grandpa Frog

the bug get right on his nose, but then
he snapped him up and ate him down
and his eyes looked bigger than ever
as he said:
'Ah, that was good bug, most
delicious bug. How people can like
ice cream and cake when they might
eat bugs, is quite beyond me-"
II guess the ice cream and cake is

frogs.
