"Christ's Letter"

THE next time you receive a copy
4 of letter, which is said to have
been written by Jesus Christ just
before the Crucifixion, don't be
afraid to disregard the warning that
misfortune and i'll luck will follow
YOU unless you pass it on to some
body else. For this is one of the
most famous of all hoaxes.
So far as it is possible to deter
mine, this letter was written by
some unknown person-perhaps a
religious fanatic-around 1891 and it
has been industriously circulated
ever since. ''The whole thing is a
stupid, clumsy hoax or a modern
frame-up" says an authority on the
subject. at is even inconsistent
with the teachings of the Bible and
is expressed in modern English
sure proof that it is a fake"
The instructions for passing along
this letter vary. Sometimes you are
requested to make four copies and
send them to four of your friends
who will send copies to four of their
friends and so on. Sometimes the
number is seven and sometimes
nine. But in any case the receiver
is solemnly warned not to "break
the chain"
A more modern variation on this
hoax is a letter which, it is asserted.
was written by a dying soldier in
France" In either case, refusal to
do as requested will bring you bad
luck" and willingness to do it will
bring you good luck" Perhaps it

will sell just that many more

Chic Little Fur Jackets
Popular for Street Wear

The cool late autumn days are
bringing out by the scores on avenue
and boulevard stunning little fur
jackets of every fur almost from
leopard to aristocratic Persian
lamb. The boxy types prevail but
there are any number of youthful
bolero and waist-depth types. Gray
ensembles especially are worked out
with gray woolens and brief gray
astrakhan jackets. Short fur capes
are also very fashionable. Many
women are having their coats that
have served their time as such made
over either into the shorter jacket or
a cape.

Thumbtack Your Draperies
to a Board.

TO GIVE draperies the smartly
L tailored effect obtained by the
professional decorator, a valance
board must be used. A straight
one by two inch board will be
needed. A small finishing nail in
the top of the window casing near
each end and screw eyes placed
near the top of the back of the
valance board will hold it in place
as shown at A. Both side drapes
and valance may be thumbtacked
to the board and then be quickly
hung all at once by hooking the
screw eyes over the finishing
nails. Think of the advantage on
cleaning day! Just lift board and
all off the nails and take outside
for busting.
Tack the side drapes to the
board first as at B, arranging full
ness in fiat pleats. In making the
valance, allow enough material to
fold around the ends of the board
as at C; then tack it along the
top, stretching it just enough so
that it is perfectly smooth.
The valance shown here is made
of glazed chintz and matches the
glazed chintz border that faces the
edges of the side drapes. The
glass curtains may be hung just
inside the window frame or to the
bottom of the valance board.

Hoaxes

Clan War


ONE day a Scotchman OF the Clan
~ MacLean dropped in to the Of
flee of the Toronto Mail and Empire,
as was his custom, to see his friend,
Charles Langton Clarke. On the
newspaper mans desk he noticed
clipping of an article which quoted
"the noted Scottish historian,
Strangway," as saying that the
MacLeans had been the first to flee
from the Battle of Culloden, thus
shattering the hopes of Bonnie
Prince Charlie for regaining the
British throne. That clipping had
been PLANTED" there deliberately
by Clarke, who expected his friend
to find it and Immediately elbow
up"
Instead, the victim of Clarke's
hoax rushed from the office and sat
himself down to write an indignant
letter to another Toronto newspaper.
Immediately other Scots in Ontario
took up the matter. To the Mac
controversy began. To the Mac
Leans, proudest OF all the proud
Highlanders and numerous in Can
ada, such reflection upon the cour-
age of their ancestors was an insult
ferable insult and they we're loud in
their denunciation of this historian,
Strangway.
Members of other clans - and
these included men who were sup
posed to be authorities on Scottish
history - declared that they were
quite familiar with the works of
this historian and had always found
him accurate. For days the battle
of Culloden was fought over and
over again in the columns OF the
newspapers. So bitter grew the feel
ing that Clarke began to wonder
how he could still the tempest that
he had raised, before there was
bloodshed. Then almost as sudden
ly as it had begun, the controversy
died down. But it wasn't until years
later that Clarke dared confess that
he was the author of the hoax which
had so aroused the Scottish clans
men.

cunning details, but when it comes to

takingly equipped outfits for the
younger generation with "all mod

wet-wet rain, dancing snow fiurries,

even a ghost of chance to get in.
AS pictures speak more eloquently
than all the adjectives that might
be penned, let's look to our illus
tration for enlightenment as to what
leading designers are turning out
in way of children's cold-weather
suits for now and the winter to be.
Here we see three cunning, and as
thoroughly practical as they are at
tractive, ensembles that all but
"stole the show" as the little girls
who modelled them came stepping
down the runway at a children's
style clinic which was held in the
Merchandise Mart of Chicago a
short time ago, before vast audi
ence of visiting merchants.
To the fond mother who delights
in seeing little daughter look as if
she had just stepped out of fashion
plate, the clever ballerina-back leg
ging suit pictured to the left will
prove a real find. 1t is one of the
newest models and forecasts what
the fashionable little miss will wear
through the winter. Of handsome

ballet flare. The suit has a beaver
collar which, of course, will make
a hit with any little girl, and crown

hat with fur trim. The tipped
leggings offer every protection from
wind and cold.

"The Animals Are Loose!"

ON SUNDAY morning, November
" 9, 1874, a SILVER of fear ran
through New York City. Headlines
in the New York Herald proclaimed
that all of the animals in the Cen
trail Park ZOO had escaped. The
story, which ran to five full columns,
said that 40 persons were dead, of
whom q were identified, (their
names were printed) and 200 were
injured, go of them seriously.
The mayor had issued warning
for everybody to stay at home while
brave citizens, including Chester A.
Arthur, Samuel J. Tilden and other
notables, who had killed most of
the ravening beasts, rounded up the
IL animals still at large. James
Gordon Bennett, owner of the Her
aid, collapsed in his bed while read
ing the story and stayed there all
day. Other citizens also stayed at
home, thereby cutting down church
attendance. Those who did venture
out went heavily armed.
For several hours the city was in
an uproar. Then somebody hap
pened to read the last paragraph of
the story. 1t was headed ''The Nor
al of the Whole" and revealed that
this was a gigantic hoax, the story
of what MIGHT happen if better
and stronger cages weren't provid-
ed for the animals in the zoo.
In fact, that was what Thomas B.
Connery, the managing editor of the
Herald, who ordered the story writ
ten, had hoped to accomplish with
it. But he overshot the mark badly.
He gave the whole city the filters
but the zoo didn't get stronger cages
for it's animals, at least, not until
long after the excitement over his
hoax had died down.

SOM is the color featured in the
voguish fitted coachman-style coat
to the right. Here is type that

detail. Has cape too, and when
little daughters friends see that
cape they will be imploring mother
to buy them one.
An adorable outfit made of a
maize-colored wool of caressing

trim bonnet, coat and muff. Yes,
there's a little matching muff as
you can see and with what pride and
glee the fortunate wearer will call
her admirers attention to this pre-
cious possession. And to fill the cup
of joy full to overlooking there are
dainty little sprays of flowers hand
embroidered in the sweetest col
ors on the yoke and on the wee muff
and on the very f1attering matching
bonnet.
And, by the way, since cunning
winter ensembles for little folks is
our theme, if there be doting rela-
tive that longs to bestow upon your
child a grand Christmas gift why
not just throw gentle hint to him
or her in regard to the fur coat,

Uncle MiG
Says: ~
Good Deed Is Never Lost

He who sows courtesy, reaps
friendship; and he who plants
kindness, gathers love.
The man whose faults are the
kind everyone can talk openly
abOut-and does--is generally be-
loved.
Nothing much comes of man
preserving his old love letters, but
when a woman does, look out.
Everybody deserves some COM
pliments. See that he gets them.
An absorbing "survey" should
be a survey of ones own faults.
Make a list.
Despite Better Judgment
There is nothing in knowing
what not to do, if you bullheaded-
ly 60 ahead and do it, anyway.
If one hasn't much to lose, one
can contemplate his misfortune
with quite complacent philosophy.
The kind of charity that appeals
to your heart is the kind that can
be bestowed without hurting the
feelings of the recipient. a..
