This fact was apparent to-day when request was made in the superior court for an extension of the time in which the appeal might be made. The court has granted an extension to May, goth.
 Much interest has been attached to the sentences of Distefano. James Sullivan and Baron Torkomian in view of the fact that it was felt that they might appeal. So far Sul- livan and Torkomian have taken no action.
 It is likely that hearing on the ap- peal of Distefano will take place at short calendar session of the su- perior court although May goth does not fall on Friday.

the little folks and grownups.
Bi-colOr themes will be worked
out in endless original ways for lit
tie girls frocks, one of which is the
dress which is topped with a yoke
of contrasting color though II may
be of the identical material. Per
example, a cute frock of satin
jersey has a deep maize colored
yoke scanned on to a lower portion
in brown, the pockets and the broad
belt which buckles in the front be-
ing in the light yellow.
Another style in favor this sea-
son is the One-piece frock which
falls in simple lines straight from
the shoulder and which has a
clever capelike collar. Here, again,
the theme of color contrast is ac-
cented in that the deep round col
lar may be white or some pastel
shade, while the dress itself will be
a brighter color.
AS to the early prints shown, they
also bespeak an era of sprightly
cOlOrs, the contrast of motif and
background being strikingly vivid.

IT LOOKS as If children are to
have their craving for plenty Of
gay color more than satisfied this
spring and summer. Whether of
cotton or fine silks or any of the
new weaves of synthetic yarns or
fiber the tendency is to work the
little frocks and ensembles, if not
in two colOrs then in three or four,
or as many as you like.
The fact that two-piece and three
piece costumes either in the form
of pullover blouse and skirt or
jacket and skirt worn with a sep
arate blouse are emphasized for
spring, makes the outlook for color
exploitation all the more promiS-
ing. AS the matter now stands the

A Romance Of the Siamese Twins
The Weekly Short Story-By DOROTHY DOUGLAS

1t must have been just cat wis
dom that made Anna scratch her
left ear, because being a perfectly
respectable house pet, she had none
of those things that make alley cats
scratch any ear at all.
THE left-is it?" laughed Jenny
and administered a soft swish of
brown dye to Anne's left ear. She
laughed aloud at the quaint appear
ance of her pet, but Anne didn't
mind. She submitted not only to
having a brown ear but soon had
brown paw as well.
And you mustn't lick it off until
after we have shown you to Mr..
Lester" admonished Jenny, and
somehow it looked as if Anne
grinned.
Mark Lester was thinking aim
lessly beside his open window when
his housekeeper produced, from
goodness knows where, lovely
young lady and a Siamese kitten.
Il read your advertisement in the
morning paper" said Jenny shyly
and with heart beating like a trip
hammer, "and thought this might
be your lost kitten"
He turned to his housekeeper.
Bring Robert the PrOdigal in,"
he told her before addressing him
self to Jenny.
Extraordinary thing" he COM
mented and smiled because, for
some reason unknown to him, Jenny
was blushing.
"My kitten was returned to me
about two hours ago." said Mark,
but when you talk about Siamese
twins-well, they're not in it when
it comes to these kittens. Look at
that !"
Mrs Bray had brought in a small
animal so exactly like Anne, in
her present makeup, that Jenny
laughed outright at sight of the two
kittens.
Mark liked the sound of the
laugh as much as he was enjoying
the sight of Jenny in his writing
den.

IF THERE was one thing in the
world that Jenny's Siamese kit
ten loved to play with it was bit
of paper rolled into ball. Had
the little pet enjoyed anything else
by way of amusement then her mis-
tress might have missed a quite
thrilling adventure. But, since Anne,
the kitten, felt in a frolicsome
mood and had indicated the fact,
Jennie took up the morning paper
and was in the act of tearing off
the corner, when a personal adver-
tiSement caught her attention. 1t
read: "25 reward for return of small
Siamese kitten. Brown spot on ear
and one on paw. Strayed from fiat
of Mark Lester"
"Oh," sighed Jenny. Il suppose
that's the Mark Lester who wrote
Love in Arabia and Desert
Nights How perfectly wonderful.
| have a good notion to doll you up,
Anne" she said aloud to the wait
ing kitten. "and take you along to
Mark Testers fiat. | should just
love an excuse to meet him. You
have no brown spot on your little
ear and none on your paw-yOu
wouldn't mind being dyed with
some of that cold water dye-just
for a day and in quest of adventure
would yOu?
Not waiting Anne's consent
Jenny went out to her small kitch-
en- and found the remnants of a
package of brown dye with which
she had been giving long life to a
faded hat. She mixed this up. then
went in search of her victim. The
dye had been easier TO put her
hands on than was the kitten. Each
time Jenny made a dash for the
kitten it slipped away, seeming TO
think she and her mistress were
having one of their usual frolics to-
gether. But finally kitten and mis-
tress went to the kitchen.
"The question is" said Jenny,
with paint brush in hand, (which
ear do you suppose Mr.. Testers cat
has a spot on?"
