HAPPENINGS IN THE CITIES

. . • . aw* “Harem Skirt” Split Latest Drink

f* LJtTV’ESLAND, O. —J. L. Saunders, V who claims to have a farm about (three miles south of Uhrichsville, has some new ideas in the line of trapped drinks and frozen dainties which he is anxious to give to the world. (Armed with a blank contract and about six months’ growth of whiskers, he came to Cleveland, anxious to ex* ploit some of, his ideas. He wandered about the city until he bumped into a drug store on the public square. “Are you the owner of this establishment?” asked the prospective purveyor of Ideas, eyeing the white-coat-ed soda elerk. .'“l’m not exactly the owner,” answered Hie spirit presiding over the bottles and glasses, “but if you want to make an offer for the place, I might listen to you.” “Well,” said v Saunders, “I’ve an Idea for you fellers. I’ve been reading that the college boys and the sdclety girls are in need of fancy drinks. I

Boston Man “Roasts” Baked Beans

BOSTON. —The "baked bean that has made Boston famous, the succulent oyster and beef extract, were branded as being injurious or of no food value by Dr. Fnphlin White, lecturing at the Harvard medical school on “Digestion.” He claimed that people could live more successfully on half the quantity of food taken. Prof. John H. Woods of Cambridge also alined a blow at the high cost of living by claiming that a *l2 cent meal suffices for a day’s work. “It is a hard thing to say in Boston,” "Dr, White allowed, "but beans are notoriously hard to digest. They may be an excellent diet for one leading an active outdoor life. While oysters eaten raw are digestible, they are practically of no food value, for they are mostly water. "I always feel that It is pathetic to see people buying beef extracts for Invalid foods, knowing as I do, that they coat so mvffih and contain so little of any value. “Twenty-five cents’ worth of beef ifuice will yield only Six parts Of food value to the body, while 25 cents’ worth of eggs will yield 700 parts, and 25 cents’ worth of milk 1,600 parts of real food value to the human system.

First Roof Garden for Shopgirls

NEW YORK. —The fhet foof garden in this country to be built expressly for the use of women employees of a department store was opened recently in this city by a firm employing nearly 2,000 womqn and girls. Any one curious to know how the roof garden and its reseda tinted. rest room walled with glass are received by women employees should talk with one of the girls. Not that the women are any less enthusiastic, but their adjectives are not so picturesque. After the place was opened steps had to be taken to stop the girls from belting their luncheon in order to spend 40 of the allotted 45 minutes lunch time on the root. As a precaution against an epidemic of indigestion the manager of the lunchroom had to make a rule that a safe num-

Love of Books Starves Cobbler

Detroit, mich.—“Spark” is his name. He is only a little yellow dog. He feels pretty bad, for hifl master has left him forever. “Spark" has been the sole companion of James Pyke, cobbler, since his wife died, four years ago, but James became! so inArm that he was taken to the Arnold home and “Spark” left behind. When Mrs. Pyke was alive the couple lived in a cottage on Myrtle, inear Twelfth street, and with the (money Pyke earned mending old shoes land his pension, they had the home nearly paid for. Then Mrs. Pyke died. It was Pyke’s Jove for books that led jto the loss of his home. Agents knew twhen his pension came, and would come up to the little shop in Twelfth, street to display their goods. James could not resist, sad bought—and bought. Payments lapsed, and at last ) the house was lost For about threw yean Pyke lived in the shop and its one room, four by six feet, crowded with encyclopedias and “Spark," his only companion. Pyke is 76 and grew too occupied' In reading to do much work. AH his pension money went to pay for hooks—a little literary revel^

ain’t had much to do but my chores all winter and I have been staying up as late as nine o’clock figuring some high-sounding titles. Some of ’em would inspire the young with grand ideas; “Now, take “The White Man’s Hope/ Wouldn't that sound fetchin’ on a glass of icq cream sody? You could add the whites of a couple of eggs and give a guaranty that if the college boys drank enough of ’em they could go out and lick Jack Johnson.” “That’s a good idea,” remarked the clerk. “But," continued Saunders, “I got a better one. They’s a lot of suffragists in town. Why not put a sign in the window, ‘Vote for Women Frappe ?’ That’d bring ’em, I reckon. Reciprocity cocktail would be a good title to catch these pesky politicians when they leave the courthouse and the city hall. - . L “But, listen to what I been figuring out for the college boys and the society girls—‘Rah-rah Fudge Served With Three Cheers and Harem Skirt Splits/” •‘That’s enough,” said the fat boy behind the counter. “If we used these ideas we’d have to build an addition to the store, and the square is too small as it is."

“It takes from 15 to 30 glasses of beef juice to equal the food value to the body of one glasip of good milk. “Meat that is cooked rare is digested by the stomach in two hours, that which is half roasted takes three hours, and that which is wholly roasted requires four hours to digest. “Dyspepsia is called the American disease. Surely it is not due to the fact that we have not good food, but is rather due to our bad habits.” A 12 cent breakfast is all the nourishment Prof. Woods of 23 Inman street, Cambridge, who is 66 years old, requires to do a day’s work consisting of 12 hours reading and study and a 10 or 15 mile walk. Prof. Woods - sits down to his daily meal at 5:30 a. m. He is served with a cereal, a soup, four slices of wheat bread and four glasses of milk, one of which is hot.

ber of minutes should be spoilt on the consumption of sandwiches, cream cakes and other things usually included in girls' luncheons. One reason for the extra enthusiasm of the younger girls, whose duties keep then; on the run most of the time, is that they have three chances.at the itool garden to one chance enjoyed by older employees, each of them having 20 minutes rest time in the forenoon and again in the afternoon. Therefore at any time from 10 to 12 a. m and from 2 to 5 p. m. a relay of girls will be found in the roof garden and during the lunch hours, extending from 11 to 2:30, a relay is certain to be sharing the place with older women. So far, except on stormy days, most of the girls anq many of the women have gone from lufich directly .to the open roof, stopping to get hats and coats from their jockers before going to the lunchroom, .and the rest periods are .often spent in the same way. » "It is good,” said a manager, “to see the pink tinge on the girls’ cheeks when they come in. We allow them to play certain games and to danoe all they want to on the roof.”

He ate less and less. A bit of bread apd a little milk sustained him for a d *y- Neighbors brought, him" things occasionally and tried to convince him his health was more Important than bosks, hut James is an Englishman, born in Kent. Pyke became weaker, and finally was obliged to apply to O. M. Pos post, G. A. R.. and the post'decided to place him in the Arnold home and later" to send him to the soldiers' home., James said he wanted to remain where he was. “1 can’t leave ‘Sparks' and my hooks,” he said, patting the dog, his eyes roving over the cherished volumes; but the post officers persuaded fund at last James consented. . . After he had been taken away, the little dog sat mournfully on the door step, refusing to he coaxed away.

VEILS THAT ARE IN FAVOR

Novelties Introduced During the Winter Have by No Means Lost Their Attraction. There are some novel veils that have found favor-in the realm of fashion; . which, though they have been worn to some extent during the past winter, are still holding their popularity and will continue to do so during the early summer months. They are made of Shetland wool, woven in wide-mesh patterns," and they neither crush nor tear easily. They are also shown in heavy silk and silkallne and are said to be a great protection, both to hat and the complexion in inclement weather. . They are particularly well liked for automobile use and there is no end to their durability. Black or white are the most acceptable colors, although they can be had in a variety of colors to match the hat and gown. March and April winds cannot be overlooked. They are disastrous to one’s appearance, if not properly coped with, and, if one wishes to reach one’s -destination in a proper frame of mind as well as in a neat condition as to hair and skin, one must be veiled.

A New Silk.

Among the newest and elegant silken fabrics which the season has called into prominence is satin feutre, a very lustrous weave, heavy of weave, beautiful of finish, but soft and graceful despite its heaviness. It is quite wide, as §re the finer silks, and is to be had in plain colors in the new and fashionable tones, as well as striped effects —the ground one shade and a tiny hair line of contrasting color crossing it. The stripes are single and not too far apart to be unduly conspicuous. For elegant afternoon or more simple street dresses satin feutre is very effective and will make very striking toilettes. "' v

Baby’s Gloves.

You can make gloves for your baby out of thick, fine canton flannel. First lay the baby’s hand, palm downward, on a piece of paper, and trace around it to get the size; cut out the usual mitten-Bh&pe pattern in paper. Then fold the material face to face, place the pattern on It, and cut out. Btitch each glove firmly rather near the edge, and hem the gauntlet end, which is to be worn outside the coat sleeve. Turn and sew the ribbon to tie around the little wrists. These gloves may be lined with wash silk or some fine woolen fabric.

Benzine for the Puffs.

The elaborate false coiffure of the day has caused much anxiety as to its healthfulneßß, and learned -opinions have been forthcoming as to its dangers. Hideous things are told of rats and their origin, yet for tilth’s sake all this hysteria about false hair must be taken with more than a grain of salt. But the woman whose doubts do not prevent her from craving curls and clusters may reassure herself by giving them a benzine bath before using, thus preparing them to rest side by side with the scanty locks.

Cuff and Collar Sets.

Pretty, inexpensive cuff jlmd collar sets are made of striped linen with the stripes running round. The ground Is white, the hairline stripes of black or color, and there may be or may not be a narrow hem of the color.

used as a finish to the skirt. Right, tailored suit of bleu de saxe serge de soie, braided with black soutache. The Bkirt is arranged to drop like a tunic, over a hem of black satin. Large collar is of black and white surah, edged with embroidered linen. Belt of black patent leather completes this charming costume.

TO WEAR IN SCHOOL HOURS

Useful Costume Adapted to Small Maiden From Eight to Ten Years of Age. ■ SF ~—*’■ Here is a useful little every day dress, suitable to be made up in cashmere, serge or any fine woolen. The long waisted bodice is gathered to a band that is covered with wide galloon or embroidery; the kilted skirt is fixed to the other edge of this band. « The square yoke Is of tucked silk, outlined by galloon to match the band; the neck is finished by a frill of nap*

row lace. Small bishop sleeves gathered to a wrist band, trimmed with galloon. V : Materials required: Three yards 46 inches wide, about 3 yards galloon, three-eighths yard tucked silk, two yards sateen.

Buttons in Favor.

Skirts, blouses and whole suits show a plentiful decoration of buttons, although not with the old-time profusion. Five or six heavy handsome buttons are used and these for the most part at the t/bttom of the front and back panels or wherever one edge of a band or flounce overlaps another. When used as a trimming on waists they are generally quite small and one can use almost any number of them. Sometimes these are covered with the dress material and sometimes with the silk or satin that trims it.

Sash at Side of Skirt.

A strong feature in many of the models is the use of the sash suspended In oriental fashion at one side of the skirt. This appears on many of the simple dresses and tailored costumes. It is also seen on tailored suits. The Idea Is continued trpm last season, as there were two or more models shown then holding tills idea, notably a navy blue serge dress with a sash made from mauve and cardinal silk.
