A Rhyme at Twilight
BY
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Public Fighter.

Out in the worlds arena,
A gladiator at bay,
Elate to meet the beast of fate,
On guard for valiant fray.
He stands alone,
Face carved in stone,
In the conflict of the day.
Out in his car at even,
Driving with tempered speed,
The conflict over, forgotten
The perilous daytime need,
His face at peace
In dusk's surcease,
Love Is his only creed.

We know that equal we are born,
Yet some are happy, some forlorn.
And Fortune cynically hints
You cannot all be "Dionne CUNTS"

At trade or tillage of the soil,
Their earnings III reward their cares
While Quints are natural millionaires!

Sausages.
OF sausages we're hearing
In many a mournful key,
Though mighty is the cheering
That sounds from sea to sea.
The offering may prove "phony,"
Though much admired at first,
And what we called Baloney
Turns out to be the Wurst.

he has too many troubles Of his owl,

Paris Styles By MARY FENTREsS

Paris, (UP)-The four months battle between milliners over high and low crowns promises to be set- tied during the next fashion collec- tons by the promotion Of Q new halfway crown.
 The flower pot hat and the ex- tremely flat crown, both Of which are extremely unbecoming to many women, probably will be abolished in favor of crushed and tucked crown.
 A new afternoon or garden party hat which is Q probable forerunner of next winters styles is shown in pale blue felt. The broad brim is straight and stiff and is finely rolled at the edge. The crown IS rounded, somewhat like @ beret, but is crushed down into shape by elaborate rows of tucking which form octagonal designs. The hat IS without trimming but for two curled autumn leaves which are placed to the left front of the tucked crown.

Of the game is that in order to move

it with his hands, which makes him

YF YOU like to hit a tennis ball as
hard as you can with q racket, but
dislike the effect OF running after
L the ball. these two tennis prac-
ticing devices will allow you to i'm
prove your serving and keep you from
chasing q ball every time you hit il.
The first hitting device is shown in
sketch A. 1t consists of long pole
driven into the ground deep enough
to stand heavy hitting. 1t has a re-
volving arm on the top, pivoted to
the pole with heavy nail for an axis.
A good method to hold this arm to
prevent it from jumping of the axis
is shown in the detail sketch.
A thick block of wood is then nailed
to one end Of the arm for a counter
balance weight, and the ball is tied to
the other end of the arm with heavy
cord. The method of attaching the
cord to the ball is shown in the sketch
Use an old tennis ball and thread the
cord through the ball with long
needle, knotting the end Of the cord
securely.
THE ball dangling down from the
arm on this cord. which should
be at least "a inches long, allows you
to give the ball terrific swat with
your racket. The impact will send the
ball around and around in a circle
pulling the revolving arm with it, thus
preventing the cord from twisting
