New York City Has Its Man Clothes Models

NEW YORK.—Not ‘Terfect SB's," but—" Fine collar type" "Excellent evening clothes pole.” So athletic!’’ Anil so on, and so on, is the way the newest workers in our midst are

picture first, and afterward an artist! may turn the picture into a lithograph that advertises “Shoot-em Collars,” “Knock-em-dead-in-a-minute Hats,” “Neat and Natty Put-Me-Ons and Take-Me-Home Suits,” and the like. It was the head of the haberdashery department of one of our largest stores who gave away the secret of the model six—or six models, as you will. “Are there man clothes models?” he repeated after his questioner. “Indeed there are, and they are a very valuable and important adjunct to the men’s clothes shops. And particularly to the manufacturers of men’s clothes. “It has long since been found that real clothes shown on real people are the best advertisements for said clothes that can be found. Designers of women’s costumes knew it all the time, but it Is a comparatively new field tor men. “Being a man clothes model may be your idea of nothing at all to be, but don’t imagine for a moment that it is the easiest job in the world to fill. We have found it far from easy to get the men who know exactly how to wear modish clothes in the way they should be worn.” Now, who says we men don’t care a rap about what we wear?

He Fools His Chickens Into Laying More Eggs

CHICAGO. —George G. Newell Is an auditor. Figures and statistics and chickens are his hobbies. Efficiency is his watchword. Back of his residence in Congress Park there is an inclosure 40 feet square in which he keeps what he

calls his “150 egg machines.” The “machines” belong to the feathered tribe known as White Leghorns. He expects and obtains eggs from these “machines” with the same regularity and accuracy as he does figures from an adding machine. He. says he has obtained ‘IB,OOO eggs from his “machines” in the last year, or an'average of an. egg every third day for each fowl, and expects to bring this average up to an egg every other day for each hen during

1915. All the hens are laying now and he sells the eggs for 50 ceuts a dozen. Mr. Newell attributes his success to the fact that his chickens live in two electric lighted coops, go to roost by electricity, and get up at the beck of 100 candlepower. “I estimated they get about sixteen hours of daylight in midsummer and only about seven hours in midwinter. I decided to strike an average. “I figured the whole problem out in black and white,” said Mr. Newell. “I found that my chickens were not laying much in winter. They’d go to roost earlier in the winter months and get up later. I figured they didn’t have sufficient daylight in which to eat the necessary amount of food and to get the required amnunt-of exercise for good laying. I installed a 100 candlepower incandescent lamp in one chicken house and two 60 candlepower tungstens and a two candlepower lamp in the other. These I connected with switches in the house. “As soon as the alarm clock goes off at six or a little after in the morning I turn on the switch and the chickens get up, thinking it is daylight The lights are turned off at eight or eight-thirty, when it 1b full daylight and the neighbors’ fowls are just arising.”

Little Japanese Woman Overcomes Eight Policemen

LOS ANGELES.—Eight policemen with braced legs and defensive attitudes were torn from their footing and tossed into a pile by a 112-pound woman, Mrs. Sessu Hayawakawa (Tsuru Aoki) in a demonstration at police head-

“Use your billies," he shouted as the four men bore down on him. A tangle of legs and arms, sliding, scraping and flying figures, and Hayawakawa was at the other end of the room, four billies were lying on the floor, and the four policemen were looking in different directions for their man. "A woman can do it just ap easily," the wrestler explained, and introduced bis wife. Sergeant O’Brien, considered one of the strongest and quickest men in the department, was selected to strike her with the club. The lean brown arm of the woman struck. It caught the burly policeman in a trick hold and the club flew from the grasp. A jerk of her No. 2 shoe and a twist of her back and Sergeant O’Brien spilled over her, alighting on his back. Then she stood the squad of eight men in line, told them to prepare themselves against an attack, and then, apparently, she fluttered past them. Sixteen heels left the floor in startling succession. The eight were in a pile and Mrs. Hayawakawa was at the other end of the room.

Walls of Mobile House Are Interlined With Honey

MOBILE, AT,a.—This city has a real, sure-enough honey residence. It is at the corner of Kentucky and Marine streets, and carpenters say that the walls are practically interlined with honey.

Several weeks ago the flooring in the attic of the building, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Gray, began to show unmistakable signs of rotting, although it was far from the ground. Before the floor was taken up, honey began to appear through the boards and despite efforts to mop the sticky staff up, it continued' to appear. The owner wad notified and after being told about the honey she recalled that snout five years ago while she was living in the house she had ft

large flower garden in the yard And that it attracted a colony of bees to the place. When the flowers were removed the bees Also disappeared. The honeymakers had discovered an abandoned water spout and through this they gained access to the walls and beneath the Weatherboarding they proceeded to make pound after pound of honey. . . A carpenter waa summoned and on the orders of the owner he cut a hole in the side of the house and attempted to smoko the bees out For bis trouble be was Stung several times. Between twenty-five and thirty pounds of honey was found near the hole and this was removed, but is believed that several hundred pounds must be In other parts of the walls. The carpenters are of the opinion that a dozen or more colonies of boss inhabit the Gray home. ; *?•

spoken of. Meaning by that, the man clothes models. Didn’t know there were any, did wou? Well, there are. And what’s more, there are a half dozen men at least right here in New York who do nothing else the year round but change from this suit of clothes to that; from this collar to another; from a nonchalant position at a motor wheel to an “all-aquiver” stand at a tennis net, just so a camera man may take their

quarters to show the efficiency of the jiu-jitsu system. As a result of the startling efficiency shown by the small Japanese expert in contest with the burliest of policemen Chief Sebastian has employed Sessu Hayawakawa to coach the members of the department in jiu-jitsu. In the assembly room at Central police station the demonstration of his prowess was given by Mr. Hayawakawa. He aSked four of the largest policemen present to attack him.

Between-Seasons Gown of Broadcloth

THERE is so great a variety in the incoming modes that one Is bewildered. Many designers, working along independent lines, have launched many designs, and it will soon be left to the public to reject or favor certain styles and thus develop the fashions for spring. One authority in gowns declares that oilr waists are to be small and that we must all be recorseted, while another calmly launches adorably pretty gowns in which there is no such thing as a waist line. All of this difference of opinion among those who create styles fosters a growing independence among those who make fashions. It is for women to decide this season, with nothing to influence them' but their own likings or dislikings, as- to what shall be cor rect style. In the meantime, if it is desirable to decide upon a new gown, one may be sure enough of a few facts. One of these is that broadcloth is as safe a choice as can be made for a good cloth gown; also that gabardine and serge are in demand for tailored and onepiece utility gowns, and that skirts

Pinned-ht Curls for Opera Coiffure

rs coiffures, as in other things, this is the day of some uncertainty. The diminutive demi-season hats, many of them merely elongated caps, called for nothing in the way of hairdressing except a small fringe of curly locks about the brow. Their day is waning and larger hats are replacing them. Just now those on the. sailor order (and these are legion), and shapes with curving and rolling brims indicate that more attention must be given to the coiffure, since more of it is in evidence when these brimmed hats are worn. „ - A coiffure designed for the opera and without referenda to millinery is shown here. It is made up of waves, a coil and many short light curls, and designed to show the art of the hairdresser, which must make the opera coiffure take the place of the art of the milliner, since hats are forbidden. The hair is waved about the face and neck for this coiffure, and parted at one side. The waves Me close to the head and Are eveiily and neatly arranged. The remainder of the hair is brought up to the crown and arranged In ft coll which forms a fouiidatfbnTor Short, soft curls that distinguish the opera coiffure. These curls are pinned in. That Is, they are not made of the litoral hair, bat are acquired of the

may be’more or less wide, smartly short, and coats are safely cut on straight or flaring lines. An attractive suit is pictured here made of dark brown broadcloth, of a silky finish and sheen. The skirt is draped and further elaborated with a pointed tunic. It is worn with a waist of deep cream-colored net and lace. The coat is quite an elaborate affair when compared to the usual tailored coat in cloth gowns. It is short at the front and lengthened at the back, where the short portion is laid in a wide flaring box plait. A straight panel of the cloth finished with tassels .at each side falls from beneath a turnover collar inlaid with velvet. The sleeves are roomy and set into wide, turned-back cuffs finished with a piping of velvet and covered -buttons. -Two large buttons provide for the fastening at the front, in which the right side overlaps the left. This is an excellent model for a_ dress -which is to do service both as a street and visiting toilette, and is equally charming for either.

hairdresser or those who deal In hair. They are very light and easily adjusted and they stay curled. Their use makes the dressing of this coiffure an easy matter when compared to dressing a coiffure In which strands of the natural hair must be curled. Narrow bands of small pearl beads are used as a finish, wound twice about the head, Ip the style of the classic Greek hairdress. Bands of this kind, sometimes strands of rhinestones or narrow bands of plain velvet ribbon, look better than any other kind of ornament in their elaborately curled coiffures. The pinned-ln curls come In short lengths and are easily arranged Into puffs or fastened In so that only very short carls, or rather. ringlets, peep eat from the carls or puffs into which the baek hair is arranged.

Novel Linings.

The new linings form the greatest novelty of the new furs. Brilliant colors are used, among them old gold and Egyptian blue. The martine satins are well exploited. There also are pictorial linings. One, for instance, was In a suberb mantle of baby lamb, a lining of bine and silver brocade showing Apollo driving his flaming chariot across the sky.
