AS time went on he gathered
support for this theory and an
olfactory searching party set
out. They went to the elevator
operator.
rs there a skunk around here?"
they asked.

4 VERY one in the parcel post
- room was standing around
holding, almost nursing, his nose.
Have you skunk here?" they
asked, redundantly.
"Yed," some one said. Ids out
on the widow SILL"
And there it was, dead.
The package Mr. Mong mailed
had been frozen at the time of
presentation to Clyde Spera, re-
ceiving clerk, but when it abb
sorbed the warmth of the room,
it developed familiar odoriferous
characteristics.
Eventually, they found the
guilty package and placed the Of
Tending corpse on the window
ledge.
Then, with complacency
equaled only by Mr.. Mong's, the
postal department went into &C
ton. They discovered that it
would be classed as unavailable"
matter, along with corrosives, ex-
plosives, reptiles and a few other
delectable materials which a fas-
tidious postal department does not
handle.
60 the postal department mailed
~ a card to the mailer advising
him his package is unavailable and
asking him to come and get it.
The skunk, the postal department
had decided, was his.
The card, addressed to Tom
Mong, 1876 Prospect-st, couldn't
be delivered until Monday in the
regular operation of the mails
What's more, there's no Tom
Mong listed in the city directory.
There's no 1876 Prospect-st.
Later on the postoffice discov-
cred those facts and, proceeding
according to Hoyle, found the de-
partment of inquiry and claims
had jurisdiction over the package.
So the department of inquiry
and claims cremated' the little
thing and the incident, along with
all the noses in the Federal build
ing. is closed.

THIS surname is derived from the
River "Ouse" in England, COM
bined with the termination "ley,"
meaning field-"the field by the
River Ouse." Undoubtedly the first
bearers of the name lived in this
locality. The name Ouse is taken
from the Gaelic word "uisge," mean
ing water. The English family has
always used the form Ouseley. rather
than Owsley, as Americans spell the
name. This is a family of great
antiquity, the principal stock being
traced to Shropshire, In England.
The family divided itself into many
branches. The Baronet Ouseley is
traced to Northamptonshire.
The armorial bearings here dis
played were borne to America by
Capt. Thomas Owsley, who settled
in Stafford County, Va, in 1890. In
1892 he was elected member of the
Virginia House of Burgesses. Nu-
merous descendants of this founder
are now living in many Southern and
Western States, as well as in many
other sections.
The color description of the coat
Of arms we give is as follows: ''Or,
a chevron sable, between three holly
leaves vert, on a chief of the second,
q lion passant or, between two fleur
de lis argent. Crest-A demi- lion
rampant or, holding between the paws
a branch Of holly vert. Motto
Antiquus restituatur honor"

self beautifully to the use of two

it on pretty good authority that about
30 per cent Of the women who buy

There are several reasons for this.
Women who are canny wait a little
to see what color their coats are going
to be, before indulging in an orgy of
color in dresses. Black is always good,
and besides it is such a relief from
the prints and gay Summer shades
Black is trimmed with pink, or blue,
red, or pale green, and nothing could
be smarter

demands. The skirt has inserts at the
sides, which provide the harmoniously

place of the slim. perfectly straight

Bidding and Play.

port shown for partners suit

miserables' who find themselves play
ing a hand at two-card suit when
their partners tire of rebidding a FIVE
card suit headed by the ace, queen.

The king, queen and jack of dia-
monds were to provide pleasant sur
prise for ones partner.
South's correct bid over three
spades is four diamonds. And when
North bids five diamonds, South can
90 to six diamonds. North, in playing
the hand. should attempt to set up
the fifth club rather than try to guess
the spade finesse.
If South plays the hand at four
spades (and let's hope that he doesn'D, ,
West may be so uncharitable as to
open the ace of hearts. when a second
heart is continued. South must refuse
to ruff. After that he loses only the
queen of spades. Such plays, my chill
dren, are to guard against four trumps
In one hand.
II West opens the singleton dia-
mond, South Is fortunate in that he
can make six-odd. He wins the dia-
mond and naturally takes the spade
illnesses into the West hand. Since
East holds three diamonds, South can
discard his losing heart before East
can leap upon the diamonds with his
trump.
