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 vho 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 for 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 wrear 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 chick ens are his hobbies. Efficiency is his watchword. Back of his residence ic Congress Park there is an inclosur 40 feet square in which he keeps what ho

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 18,000 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 cents a dozon. 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 bock 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 amount of exercise for good laying. I installed a 100 candlepower incandescent lamp in one chicken house and two GO candlepowei tungstens and a two candlepower lamp in the other. These 1 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 is full daylight and the neighbors' fowls aro 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 headquarters to show the efficiency of the

policemen present to attack him. "Use your billies," he shouted as the four men bore down on him. A tangre of legs and arms, sliding, scraping and flying figures, and Hayawakawa was at tho other end of the room, four billies were lying on the floor, and tne four policemen were looking in different directions foi their man. "A woman can do it just as easily," the wrestler explained, and introduced his 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 flow from tho 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. Sixtoen heels loft the iloor in startling succession. The eight were in a pile and Mrs. Hayawakawa was at the other end of the room.

Walls of flobI!e House Are Interlined With Honey MOBILE, ALA. This city has a real, sure-enough honey residence. It is at tho corner of Kentucky and Marine streets, and carpenters say that the walls are practically interlined with honey. Several weeks ago the flooring in

-he attic of the building, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Gray, began to show unmistakably signs of rotting, although it was far from the ground. Uefore the floor was taken up, honey began to appear through the boards ynd despite efforts to mop the sticky stuff up. it continued to appear. The owner was notified and after being toki about the honey she recalled that about five years ago while she was living in the house she had a large fl(flher garden in the yard and

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 was summoned and on the orders of the owner he cut a hole in the side of the house and attempted to smoke the bees out. For his trouble h-i was stung spveral times. Between twenty-five and thirty pounds of honey was found near the hole and this was removed, but it is believed that several hundred pounds must be in other parts of the walls. The carpenters are of the ophilon that a dozen or more colonies of beef inhabit the Gray home. .

Man Clothes Models spoken of. Meaning by that, the man clothes models. Didn't know there were any, did i'OU? Well, there are. And what's mere, 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 nonchalant position at a motor wheel to an "all-aquiver" stand at a tennis net, just so a camera man may take their jiu-jitsu system. As a result of the startling efficiency shown by the smali Japanese expert in contest with the burliest of policemen Chief Sebastian has emplpyed Sessu Hayawakawa to coach the members of the department in jiu-jitsu. In the assembly room at Central police station the demonstration of hi? prowess was given by Mr. Hayawa kawa. He asked four of the largest 1 that it attracted a colony of bees

SUGGESTIONS FOR USEFUL AND DAINTY ARTICLES.

Skirt Hanger Need Not Cost Much, and, Prettily Decorated, Is an OrnamentCase for the Doilies or Napkins. The new skirt hangers are as pretty as they are attractive. The hangers are very simple in construction, and any girl may make them and save money by doing so. For each pair, two medium-sized safety pins, two small ivory rings and nine inches of ribbon a little wider than the length of the safety pins are required. The ribbon is cut into two fiqual lengths. One end is stitched around the bar of the pin, the other to the ring. The ribbon can be decorated to suit one's fancy. Those that come made up are stamped for embroidery. But one could work an initial, decorate with stencil work, or apply a floral motif, as she pleased. One and one-half yards of ribbon at 20 cents a yard will make six pairs of hangers 30 cents. One dozen safety pins, five cents, and one dozen rings the same price. Materials for decoration will probably be another ten cents, making the total cost 50 cents. As fairly firm linen or crash lends itself well for the purpose, stenciling is z. fitting decoration. To make a napkin case take two pieces of linen twenty-six inches long and about eight wide. BÄid all edges with white linen tape. Then arrange the strips to form a cross and lay in a square of cardboard, where the strips cross. Stitch this in, to form a base. Fold into a Napkin Case. oag, but do not sew. Cut one end in rlap shape and decorate it as fancy dic;ates. To make a doily case take four pieces of linen about twelve inches in diameter and two pieces of cardboard a little smaller. Stencil one piece of the linen or decorate as preferred and cover the cardboards, turning in the edges of the linen and overhanging. Make hinges of rihbon at the back and Lie with white ribbons opposite. Onethird of a yard of linen forty-eight inches wide or one-half twenty-four Inches wide will be required. Talcum powder boxes are more sightly if covered, and a scrap of leftover linen made into a bag and lightly decorated will make a very attractive cover. The bottom of the bag is double and fitted with a strip of cardboard to form a base. The neck of the bag is drawn up with a ribbon run in and out of eyelet holes near the top. GLOVES IN BLACK AND WHITE Shortage of Dye Materials Certain to Put the Colored Ones in tho Background. The shortage of dye materials will make the colored, glove take a step down from favor. There will be a demand for black and for white gloves. There will be a general advance in the prices of gloves for the spring, and tho wise woman will invest in a supply that will carry her through to the coming season. The shipments from Austria or Belgium will be negligible There will probably be about the same amount from England, and obviously, the German output will be curtailed. There may be an increase of Italian ploves. and possibly French makers will be able to fill orders. In France there is only about 50 per cent of the factory output now at hand. The smaller makers are virtually closed. As for fabric gloves, there is an uncertainty that it were well for you to consider. The best fabric gloves are made from cotton that comes from Egypt This supply is virtually unobtainable during the war. These cottons are used for the yarns that are spun in Germany, and, of course, the German question is unsettled. The other country from which Germany has in the past obtained materials from which to spin yarns is England. That possibility is a closed point. As for the silk-glove question, the domestic output will perhaps come to the rescue of womankind. If gloves must be worn, the homemade article will probably have to be the approved one. This should stimulate things and give a variety to waiting hands. And it

Daintily Designed Blotting Book that Would Make Handsome and Useful Present.

Our sketch shows a blotting book of a particularly pretty and dainty design, and a useful size in which to make it is given at the sides of the illustration. For the cover, two pieces of stiff cardboard each measuring nine inches by seven inches, are required, and these cards are covered on outer sides with claret-colored silk, the material being turned over at the edges and fastened on inside with a strong adhesive. The inner part of the cover is lined with thin silk of an old gold color, and the edges are finished off with a plaited silk cord of a coloring to match, carried into little loops at the corners, turned inward. On the silk covering the front of the book a very pretty design is worked consisting of a horseshoe composed entirely of tiny green leaves, and in the center of the shoe the initials of the owner may be embroidered in silk of an old gold color and below this the word "Blotter" is worked in silk of a color to match the latter. Ribbon strings are provided to secure the case when closed. Sheets of blotting paper are cut to fit the interior, folded in the center and secured in place by a fine gold silk cord, which is tied in loops at the back of the book, with ends that hang downwards knotted and frayed out into tassels. A strip of elastic about half an inch wide may, if liked, be used instead of the cord for holding the blotting paper. This book could, of course, be made on thu, ame lines in a larger or smaller size if desired. PAYS TO BUY Ö00D MATERIAL Cheap Stuff Will Never Give Satisfaction and Is Really More Expensive in the End. Do not make the nistake of exercising false economy on your suits, for false such economy certainly is. Cheap suits never pay, especially for business girls. You give your suits the hardest kind of wear, and if you buy cheap, trashy materials they soon look shiny and shabby. You should prefer having through the year two or three serviceable suits with plain, smart lines of the best, most durable goods, to five or six flimsy, tawdry frocks at $10 to $12 each, whose cheap imitation of style is lost during the first week's wear. "But," perhaps you are asking, "how can I afford the best materials on twelve or fourteen dollars a week?" You can, if you start saving early enough, and that is why this little talk is coming to you so soon, so that you may have the opportunity to put by enough of your salary to buy you a really good suit, not a poor imitation. Don't procrastinate with your saving. Outing Hat for Spring. A fine white Milan hat with a turned up brim is so flexible that it may be adjusted at the tilt mostbecoming to the individual wearer. The only trimming of the hat is a narrow white vefc vet band around its crown. Such a hat is indispensable for sports wear. may be that gloveless styles will be adopted; who knows? You Can Be Pretty if You Try. Every girl should wake up. Look in the mirror and see if you can't face some feature that is worth improving or putting on exhibition, as it were. There was a girl who had the most marvelous eyelashes, and yet there was nothing else about her especially attractive, not even her eyes. But she was determined to be pretty, and so she cultivated her eyelashes. She made them even more curly and time people noticed the way they curled away from her eyes, and remarked about it. One thing led to another, and she was soon considered dangerously attractive, just because of her lashes. Any girl can do the same if she wants to badly enough, and anyone can look homely as well. Military Capes. Some of the newest coats are compromises between a coat and a cape. These models are trimmed in military style and are in armory blue or in armory gray. The real military cape is also included in the new lines. These models are touched with gilt braid and buttons, or in practical models, they are finished with black braid and buttons. They are expected to make a strong appeal to misses and to young women. Lest the Ribbon Slip. Ribbon often slips out from beading in underwear, causing annoyance, says the New York Sun. To overcome this sew a small lace button on each end of the ribbon or tape; then the end c&nnot slip.

A local business man who believes his son always should be in bed by nine o'clock returned home the other night after eleven and learned that the boy was still out at play. Irate, the father stalked across the street to the home of his son's chum. Tho house was dark, but the father rang the bell. Suddenly the door was oflened and the woman of the household, in gown and nightcap, reached a strong arm through the opening and pulled tho man within, saying angrily, "Drunk again, 1 suppose. Come in here before the neighbors see you." The father, breathless from this reception, recovered sufiiciently to understand that the strong, night-capped woman thought she had captured her alcoholic spouse. The father started to explain: "But, madam, you've made a mistake, I'm" "Mistake, nothing," hotly retorted the strong woman. "You come upstairs and get into bed. The idea of coming home " The unwilling guest managed to strike a match and the strong woman saw a face that was not her husband's.

"My husband who has, for years, been of a bilious temperament decided to leave on! coffee and give Postum a trial, ond as I did not want the trouble of making two beverages for meals I concluded to try Postum, too. The results have been that while my husband has been greatly benefited, I have myself received even greater benefit. "When I began to drink Postum I was thin in flesh and very nervous. Now I actually weigh 1G pounds moro than I did at that time and I am stronger physically and in my nerves, while husband is free from all his ails. "We have learned our little lesson about coffee and we know something about Postum, too, for we have used Postum now steadily for the last three years and we shall continue to do so.
