WHERE REAL TROUBLE BEGAN

Argument Between Hogan, Caeey and O’Brien Progresaed Smoothly Until Btranger Butted In. When a man Just naturally wants trouble it is- mighty easy to find an excuse sos making it. According tS Mike Hogan, Casey and O’Brien were having an argument of their own. It had progressed to the extent that each had forgotten what it was about originally, and they were wholly oblivious of the gathering crowd until an urbane and genteel person in a frock coat put in. “Come, come, my man,” he said, gently plucking Casey by the sleeve. “You don’t want to fight. I can tell it by your looks. Your face is too benign—” '"Two be nine! Two be nine, is ut, ye scut?” bellowed Casey. “Me face is two be nine, is ut?” And there was where the real trouble began.—Louisville Times.

Important Inquiry.

“Father,” said the small boy, “couldn’t George Washington tell a lie?” "That statement has been seriously made, my son.” “Well, what did he do when his folks had unexpected company and he was told to say he didn’t want any pie for dessert?”

Hopeful Future.

“To tell you the truth,” said the man who - is ostentatiously cheerful, “the hotter the climate is the better I like it.” "I envy you and your calmness of mind,” replied the sardonic person, “and trust, for your own comfort, that your ideas of future punishment are istrictly orthodox.”

The Eternal Feminine.

Pretty Daughter—Papa, I’d like to give a party next week. Papa—Why, my dear, you gave one only last week. Do you think it necessary to entertain your friends so often? Pretty Daughter—But this Is not to entertain my friends; it’s to snub my enemies. *

Only Difference.

“One of my daughters has tonsilitis,” exclaimed Mr. Growcher, "and the other has sprained her wrist.” “That’s hard luck/’ “Yes. Nothing seems to work out the way It ought to. The girl who sprained her wrist sings, and the one with a sore throat plays the piano.”

The Two Orders.

Business Manager —Well, how many orders did you get yesterday? Traveler —I got two orders in one place. B. M.—That’s the stufT! What were they? T. —One was to get out and the other was to stay out.

A Correction.

Friend (intending to compliment)— I heard somebody say the other day, Mr. Naggs, that your wife was a fine conversationalist. Naggs—She’s nothing of the sort. Friend —No? Naggs—She hates conversation. She’s a monologist-

UNKIND.

Ella —He says that he shall never forget me. ] Stella—No; you have one of those indelible faces.

No Cause for Alarm.

Omar —Death loves a shining mark, they say. Hazel— Oh, well, don’t be uneasy. You’re not so brilliant. >•

BUSINESS INSTINCT OF GIRL

Wanted Proposal of Marriage Made On Bunday Renewed Because It Was Not Legally Binding. “George,” said the beautiful girl aa she nestled close to him, "the last time you called you proposed.” “I did, sweet one.” “And I accepted you.” "You did. love.” "I presume, George,” she went on, in her most fascinating manner, “that you look upon me merely as a foolish, thoughtless girl, but —but —” “How can yon think so, pet?” he interrupted. “But,” she went on in a more businesslike way, "I have something of the business instinct of the new woman in me, and —and —I shall have to ask you to repeat the proposal again tonight. The last time you called it was Sunday, and contracts made on that day, I learn, are not legally bmding.”—New York Times:

A Veritable Solomon.

"How is it,” asked the young man, “that of all the people who come to you for advice, none ever appear to go away dissatisfied?” "It Is probably because I am a student of human nature,” answered the Shelbyville sage. “When a man comes to me for advice, I proceed to find out what kind he wants, and then give it to him.”

Fair, But Not Fare.

“What line are you on now?” asked the fair maid in the parlor scene, of her admirer, who chanced to be a street car conductor. “Just at present,” replied the register manipulator, as he slid toward the other end of the sofa and his arm stole around her waist, "I’m on the Belt line.”

DECLINED WITHOUT THANKS.

Wlredge—Do you think she will return your love? Feathertop—Probably. She told me she had no use for it.

Only One.

“No, I didn’t come up to business yesterday,” said the stout man in the corner of the carriage. “The last of my daughters was getting married so I had to give her away.” "Really? Who was the happy man?” inquired a polite fellow passenger. “I was,” said the parent emphatically.

What Mother Eve Missed.

"The thirst for strong drink,” said the man with the crimson beak, "is due to the original sin.” “How do you figure that out?” asked the party of the dense part. “I haven’t time to go into details,” answered he of the auburn nose, “but anyway strong drink is good for sna£e bites.”

The Aggrieved Pedestrian.

"Confound Chugson! The stiffnecked upstart!” “Why, he bowed politely to you when he passed just now in his motor car.” - “Sure! Bowed and then put on speed before I could ask him for a lift.”

The Loser.

Little Bobbie listened with deep interest to the story of the Prodigal Son. At the end of it he burst into tears. “Why, what's the matter, Bobbie?" exclaimed his mother. “I’m —I’m sor-ry for that poor lil ca-alf,” he sobbed. “He didn’t.do nuffln!"

Just the Thing.

"Here’s a news item says the United States is to turn out a submarine which can travel 5,500 miles and cross the ocean twice on one supply of ffoel. It Ib the G-3.” “I’d call a submarine like that the Gee Whiz!”

His Answer.

“Did you ever go to a military ball?” asked a lisping maid of an army veteran. "No, my dear,” growled the old soldier. “In those days I once had «a military ball come to me, and, what do you think? It took my leg off."

A Vain Yearn.

“We must be nice to my rich uncle. He may leave us some money. He says that he yearns for a slice of homemade bread.” “That’s easy,” responded the young wife. “Our baker sells it.”

Quite a Few.

“I have just been reading the Constitution of the United States." - -> “Well?" "And I was surprised to find out how many right* a fellow really baa”

MORE FUR IS SLOGAN

WHAT FABHION MAKERB DICTATE FOR FALL WEAR. Cuffs on Every Jacket Are Now Muffs —Hems of Bklrtn and Jackets Smothered in Bands of Fur., It is probable that women will never be persuaded to give up pieces of peltry that cover the shoulders; it Is the remaining savage instinct in them to fling around their bodies the akins of wild beasts; this truth was proved during the summer, when every woman who could afford the price of a fox, white or otherwise, arrayed herself in it, even on days when a mosquito netting would have been too warm a covering. She temporarily reverted to the cave-woman. The furriers, however, need not spend sleepless nights wondering where their rent is to be obtained, for paradise is opening to them. Fur, and again fur, and still more fur, is the slogan of the fashion-makers. As to Neckpieces. There may not be a great quantity of neckpieces worn, as fashion does not indicate any loose covering for the Bhoulders that will hide their lines, but so much fur is demanded elsewhere that it is more probable the furriers will spend sleepless nights wondering where to get it The cuffs, for instance, on every Jacket are now muffs. They extend to the elbows and flare to a width of eight and ten iqches at the hands. This is a part of the Russian influence, and there is every reason to believe that these immense bell-shaped accessories will be sought by every who likes to take up the extreme thing. In addition to such lavish use of peltry on the sleeves, the hems of skirts, as well as jackets, are smothered in bands of fur. Evening wraps are in the nature of Russian coats, and one of the newest, by Callot, has entire sleeves of fur that are shaped out from the shoulders into a great

width at the wrist. There are other evening coats that have round Victorian tops of sealskin, with all the edges outlined with ten inches of sealskin. As for flaring fur redingotes —that’s another chapter. (Copyright by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

FALL STYLES FOR CHILDREN

School Dresses Are Made in Ginghams, Percales, Linens, Ratines and Piques. Children’s wash dresses suitable for school wear are in ginghams, percales, linens, ratines, piques, cordalines and other heavy wash fabrics. Many are in plain colors trimmed with checked, plaid or striped material, while others are of a fancy material trimmed with a plain fabric. Combinations of middy or blouse of plain color with a skirt of or vice versa, are very pretty. ' Colored worsted dresses are also in a great variety of styles in serges, poplins and checked and plaid worsteds. Some are made, in sailor effect, while others have the middy blouse or the new college blouse with smocking. In dressy little frocks combinations of worsted and silk, such as serge, with plaid or check silk, are seen. Corded and plain velvets are combined with satin charmeuse, or fancy plaid, checked or striped silk. Partv dresses of net, crepe, chiffon or lace are often combined with silk. For older girts three-piece suits are popular. They consist of simple little serge or gaberdine dresses with a short, snappy coat in norfolk, Russian or box effect, of the same material. Flat collars are almost universally worn and sleeves are usually set in at the regular armhole, finished off •with a flare cuff, or made in flare effect starting from the elbow. Belts and sashes are usually of self material, or of the same fabric as the collars and cuffs. ;;; -r—Children’s coats are made with a alight flare In the lower section.

FALL COAT OF TAN

The model of this fall coat is of tan English broadcloth with satin belt and trimmings and stole of mole.

CHANGES IN WOMAN’S HAIR

Simplicity In Btyle Gives Way to Pompadour, Pulls and Curls This Fall. In the Woman’s Home Companion the fashion editor comments in part as follows about the changes in coiffure this fall: “There is to be a decided change in the coiffure this autumn. Simplicity has been the model these past two or three seasons. Now there is a return to the pompadour and puffs and curls. This should be welcome news to many women, as this new style is far more becoming and softening to the features than the severely plain coiffure recently favored. The new pompadour is interesting as it is so different from the pompadour so popular in the past. It is called the slanting pompadour, because it is very low in front and rises gradually until it reaches the crown, where it is finished with a group of small puffs or curls encircled with a soft coil."

Two Sides.

Dressmaking and millinery and jeweler’s work are honorable crafts when they aim at beauty and simplicity and suitableness. They can be se-vile when they simply set out to tempt their customers into extravagance and eccentricity. But without laboring the point one may lay down the general principle that there is all the difference in the world between making the things which are wanted and trying to induce people to want the things that you make.

About the Fancy Boot.

A light and fanciful boot or shoe do mands elegance and daintiness in the whole toilet associated with it Moreover, it must be fresh, shapely, immaculate. The wear and soil that are tolerable and can be easily hidden in the serviceable black or russet leather or in white canvas or buckskin are not permissible in the dress shoe or boot.

joined together at the normal or slightly lower waist line, this joining covered by a belt or sash. A yoke sometimes appears in the back, sometimes in fipnt. Sometimes as many as four pockets appear on a coat, and they are also used on belts. Smocking and hand embroidery trims wee coats, and braids and buttons trim all coats. Krimmer, beaver, otter, seal, mole, chinchilla, squirrel, ermine and coney, as well as velvet in plain colors and novelty stripes And checks, are used for collars, cuffs and other trimmings.

Embroidery Bags.

The blue and white Japanese dollies so popular for summer use may be converted into neat little mending bags, which make ve£y nice gifts. Take two doilies the same size and feather-stitch them together except at the top, where they are sewed to oval rings to serve as an opening. Make ribbon loops of blue satin fastened to the sides of the rings with bows, and the result is very attractive. If you use square doilies edge them with narrow Irish lace and the top corners may be brought over the rings as a finish to double back part way over the two sides, the opposite corners farming the pointed bottom of the bag.

Natural Silk Hose.

The pale tan stockings so fashion able this summer with skirts of dark material, are most often of naturat silk, this shade having a particular delicate, lustrous appearance over the flesh of instep and ankle. With slippers of patent leather, natural silk stockings are very smart, worn with frocks or black or navy blue pussy willow silk.

HOMEMADE LAMPB FOR THE PUBHMOBILE. There should be two headlights and two sidelights (Fig. 1); also a taillight. The headlight shown in Fig. 2 is made from a syrup can, the kind having a flanged cover that fits inside of the rim. The bottom will be the front of the lamp; therefore it must have all but a rim of the tin removed (A. Fig. 3). Cut the tin with a can opener. If you can find an old alarm clock of the right size, the glass from it will

be just the thing for the front of the lamp. Use a measurement that will make the glass fit fairly snug in the end of the can. To get the glass inside of the can, it is necessary to remove the rim on the top, which can be done by holding the can over a flame for a few seconds, and then knocking off the rim (B, ig. 3). When the glass has been slipped into the can, replace rim B. Cover C, fitting inside of rim B, will be left removable for the purpose of lighting the lamp. Fasten the glass close against the front of the can by means of short nails driven

through holes punched through the side of the can, just inside of the glass (Fig. 2). With a can opener cut a hole a trifle smaller than a candle through the side of the can (D, Figs, 2 and 3) for the candle to stick through, and another directly opposite it (E) for a chimney. Cut a bracket block with its upper edge curved to fit the can (F, Fig. 4), nail the can to the curved edge, and then nail the block to the side of the pushmobile (Fig. 1). The lamp shown in Fig. 5 is made out of a pint or half-pint varnish can. Remove the bottom, and cut away all but a narrow rim of one side for the glass front (Fig. 6). Cut a piece of glass to slip in back of the opening,

and fasten it in place by means of two pieces of wire run around it and the outside of the can as shown at A (Fig. 6). Cut the block (Fig. 7) enough smaller than the can so the can will set down over it, bore a %-inch hole through its center, and nail to a block a trifle larger (C, Fig. 7). The candle sets in the hole in block B. The can sets down over block B on to block G. and is pinned to B by two short pniia D slipped through holes made in opposite sides of the can and block B (Figs, i and 7).

Probably every one of you girla has had experience in growing vines, but I wonder if any of yon have used the simple method shown in Fig. 1 for putting up the strings. Place the stakes from three to four feet apart, instead of using one for each vine, then drive a double-pointed tack (Fig. 2), or nail, into the top of each, connect the tacks or nails with wire or heavy cord, and tie the strings to it at the required distances apart. These strings will fasten to a row of nails overhead, possibly in the top of a fence (Fig. 1). You will need no ladder once the nails have been put up, if you use the unique scheme

shown in Fig. 1 for attaching the strings. Screw a screw-eye into the end of a stick, thread the screw-eye with the twine Just as you would thread a needle, then use the stick to hook the string over the nails. As the diagram must show the construction of the framework, it is impossible to give you a good idea of what a beautiful bower the barrelhoop rack shown in Fig. 3 becomes when thickly covered with vines. The diagram shows the use of six hoops, but if you cannot get this many, the three bottom hoops may be omitted and stages driven into the ground to tie the lower ends of the strings to. Fig. 4 shows how each set of

hoops should be arranged, and how each hoop should be bound with cord to the adjoining two. When the hoops have been connected, it is only necessary to get a clothespole for a support, to complete the rack. Drive a nail into the upper end of the pole, and connect the nail and each hoop with strong cord; then place ground, with the center over a hple made for the end of the pole support, and set the support in this hole. Fig, 3 shows how the strings connect the upper and lower set of hoops, and how they are spaced. You can tie the strings to the upper hoops before the pole Is set in position, if you like. When the rack has been put up, plant your vines at its base, so there will be one for each string. A box with a board nailed across It, as shown in Fig. 5, makes a splendid

the other set of hoops upon thw weeding stool and weed receptacle. And two boxes like it, one enough smaller so when stood on end (Fig. «) it will fit inside of the other box, between the end and the seat bearft (Fig. 7), will make a handy set <4 garden steps.
