 York, N. Y.
 You'll want to turn your back on your ardent admirers in this fasci- mating shirt type dress. Another new feature is the color accent inc tr6duced in the band trim.
 It's very "springy" as the original in violet wool crepe with purple crepe band trim. A similar scheme, but only in beige crepe silk with gay scarlet oS printed crepe silk with plain toninG crepe, would be stunning also.

Chlmneys


 Chimneys that aie persistent 'leakers" cause 6 great deal of damage, and the cure is often hard to find. If the flashing is in good shape and you are sure 1t does not come from a weakness there, and f all the exposed joints have been examined and questionable ones raked out and repointed, and still it leaks, the chances are that the water enters at the top and perco- lates down through the unexposed joints. To cure this, place sheet- metal hood formed like an inverted U over the top of the chimney, leav- ing both ends open. It has cured many a chimney, 30 the chances are 1t will cure yours.

Cupboards

CupD0afuS
 Tn building a chimney there ls usually some unused space left at the side above the line of the fire- place. More often than not this space is just boxed in and plastered over and lost. Our ancestors, more frugal folk than we, put cupboards in these spaces and used them for storing any number of things. Sometimes we do the same now, but there is many e chimney breast that hides Q potential bookcase or storage cupboard, and the home owner Is ignorant of his loss.

asked the newcomer now: "When's the auction,
Mater"
Tomorrow afternoon. Chance for anyone
that needs it to get some office stuff cheap; and
anybody that wants forty-ton safe -"
Then Will Morley called them to table; and
the coon went the way of well-roasted coons.
Afterward, poker game began. Coon Club
poker games have one feature not found else
where. As often as not, when betting is ended
and before the showdown, someone will say:
How'll you dicker1" And there may follow
offer and counter offer. I'm give you the red
chips" ''I'n let you take your money out"
Or: 'I'n split the pot with you"
Jenk Dowel resented these interludes with
a ravenous wrath; but dickering was part of
the game to the rest of them. Particularly Bob
Eyer. To persuade man who held three deuces
to split the pot with him, when his own hold
ing was a busted flush, gave him pleasure
far beyond winning big pot with valid
hand.
Tonight, as the game proceeded, Jenk played
as warily as always; and he waited maliciously
for that occasion of which he dreamed. waited
for the time when he should hold a big hand in
pot where Bob and Doc Fillmore started one
of their jovial raising bees. Tonight the dream
came true. Doc Fillmore opened on his right.

1T was long time since the Coon Club had
hunted coons. Nevertheless, in the fall of
the year, coons often attended the weekly
dinner as honored - and relished guests.
Will Morley. who was president of the Club
and also cook, could play symphony on any
available raw materials, but roast coon was
the program tonight, so there was full at
tendance.
While the coon was roasting, half dozen
men were playing railroad pitch. Jenk Dowel
and Bob Eyer among them. Jenk was careful,
canny man. He had an automobile agency; and
his narrow allowances on used cars were
public scandal. Bob's barn was stocked with
odds and ends bought because they were cheap,
waiting till he could find market for them
He took loss as cheerfully as gain. Jenk took
gain as grimly as loss, though there might,
when he prospered, be malicious satisfaction
in his eyes, Bob preferred to buy from willing
sellers, sell to pleased purchasers. Jenk grasped
a profit greedily, whether the other party to
the transaction was contented with his trade
or not. Naturally he and Jenk were hope
lessly at odds - and more so than ever since
Nancy Freeman had come home from college
four or five months before.
Before dinner was ready. Nate Decker came
in. Nate was teller in the East Harbor Ma
tional Bank, which was in the act of making
extensive repairs on the bank building, in
volving new vault, new furniture, and a new
wing in the rear. The discarded equipment
had been advertised for sale. and Doc Fillmore

At last the hand was called. Bob asked:

''Give you the white ones," Bob countered
They ignored Jenk; but now Jenk said:

AID
TO BE STUDIED

Consolidation of the juvenile
correctional with juvenile penal
institutions in the District will be
the subject of further study by
the District Commissioners and To-
cal welfare officials, with a view
toward obtaining legislation for
the merger at the coming session
of Congress.
This was decided yesterday fol
lowing a conference between local
and budget bureau officials. The
plan as advanced by the bureau
calls for abolition of the Industrial
Home School, on Wisconsin Ave
nue. Northwest. 1t also provides
for transfer of the boy inmates to
the National Training School for
Boys and the girl inmates to the
National Training School for Girls.
The Industrial school inmates
are dependent, problem and back
ward children while the inmates
of the training scholS are boys and
girls who have been committed to
the institutions by the Juvenile
Court because of delinquencies.
None of the Board of Public Wei
fare officials who attended the
conference raised an objection to
the plan, it was said. They de-
cided to give further study to the
consolidation proposal. The bureau
also referred back to the welfare
board for further study the plans
for Improvements and new build
ingS at the National Training
School for Girls, Conduit Road

for which 100000 was appropri-
ated in the current budget.
