Is NKW YORK. Passengers on a stalled suburban train became Interested in a scene on a Harlem river pier at One Humlrel and Thirty-second street, during tlie delay. On one side of tlie pier two little negroes. apparently about ten years old, were "showing off." They stood on their heads; they pummelled each other with shrill cries of mimic ferocity. The cause of their antics, u white sirl of about the sann a?o, dressed in her starchiest and frilllest best, sauntered up and down the opposite side of the pier with a blue parasol in elaborate Indifference to masculine maneuvers. One of the contenders for her glances suddenly swung himself out hand .over hand on a taut hawser that led to the stern of a barge which the

Police Solve the Great Kimono Mystery

CHICAGO. The police have sol veil the great Hyde I 'ark kimono mystery hut there's only one way to tell It chronologically. Some time between six o'clock and nihhilght last Tuesday evening some one cntoTed room -101 in the Shirley apartment hotel at -IHM Drexel boulevard and vanished with J1J(K) worth of woman's apparel, the property of Mrs. W. O. Sabrlcl. wife of Lieutenant Gabriel, the aviator. The only clue to the marauder was a cheap cotton kimono and a pair of men's bed100111 slippers. The police were bafüed. The aparttnent was four stories above- tin? ground. An intricate lock and bolt barred the only door In the one-room nparinient. There were no lire escapes. A housemaid, however, had seen Robert r.hiek. who, with his wife. Mrs. Hose IJlaek, occupied the apartment below the pilfered Gabriel apartment, wearing the kimono. The police entered the Mark apartment to lind Mrs. Ilhick and William Davis, hut no Mr. Mack and no Gabriel clothing.

LYONS. IA. People in this neck of woods have no great love for Chicago. They're suspicious of the Windy City and its inhabitants. Mit a story comes from there which seems likely to Improve the local estimate of the big city by the lake. Apparently Chlin so has a heart, after all. and when the heart of Chicago warms up to any helpless creature, it goes about It wholesale fashion. Anyway, about daylight one Sunday morning IMward Hurley, a broker, noticed a dejected figure huddled on a bench in Washington park, and examination showed a wisp of a woman and a baby so emaciated it could hardly cry. The woman had ten cents, some moldy crackers and a half bottle of sour milk. She told Mr. Hurley that her name was Kllzabeth Coy and that her husband had put her on the train at Lyons, la., with a ticket for Chicago, giving her -1." cents. Her husband told her, she said, that lie was "through with her." as he would not have n "squawking kid" around, and that he had another wife. Mr, and Mrs. Hurley took the un-

The result was that the boy on tlie rope soon found himself jogging up and down above the river, now almost touching it with his feet and now raised high above It. He started to come back. He became exhausted. The terror-stricken shine of his eyeballs was visible to the passengers on the train. His rival took to his heels and disappeared. Then1 the exhausted boy dropped into the river. At the splash and strangled cry the little white girl ran to the end of the pier, dropped her parasol and plunged, in all her starchy frills, into the stream. She came up with the boy's head resting on her shoulder. Two men with a rope hauled both children to safety. Meantime the passengers had been taking up a. collection and presently a .parcel, well wrapped in newspapers, thumped into the street at the feet of the bedraggled little girl. As the train moved jerkily on its way she clutched the parcel In her arms and gave a dripping wave of the hand to the departing cars. "i some laundry which resulted in Hlack knocking Tennent down. Mrs. Hlack finally unraveled the "mystery" of the kimono. Hlack was taking a bath Tuesday night when the Hyde Hark police with the patrol wauon arrived to serve a warrant sworn out by Tennent. Hastily fastening his trusty kimono about him and donning his slippers, he stepped out upon a ledge In an areaway, scrambled up to the dabriels' bathroom window ledge, and entered tin Hat. Tearing off the kimono he dressed himself in Mrs. Gabriel's llnery, even to a blue fox scarf, hat, veil and handbag. Thus arrayed he sauntered down the hallway and vanished. They haven't found him yet, but the Gabriel clothing was returned by mall. hungry Hiscay. Our parson puts all fears to rout, he trusts in God, his heart Is stout, but wants to swing the lifeboat out, for '.he devil rules old Hiscay. The good ship at the seas does bound; she tries in vain to knock them down, then backs away and goes out round the mountainous seas of Hiscay. "Kor days and days we hol around, our only motion's up and down, the old ship makes a d d poor clown for acrobatic Hiscay. Tlie cooks are having lots of fun as after pots and pans they run, but dinner's always sure to come, they are the cooks for Hiscay. The engineers down In the hole, they only say gol hlame my soul, just to sei this old ship roll, on bloody, bloomln' Hiscay. Kor four long days we've stood the gaff, but not discouraged, no, not half ; we're getting used to Hiscay's chatT, we'll soon be out of Hiscay. "The good old ship she Isn't weak, old Hiscay cannot make her leak, or even make her timbers creak, she delies the Hay of Hiscay.

Hy noon Sunday visitors had sent in checks and had delivered In person, a total of $1,000 for the woman and baby. Automobiles were lined up for three blocks each side of the Hurley residence, their owners anxious to help the unfortunates. One of the contributions was earned by a Japanese who worked overtime to get it. Now a prominent family has given the woman and her baby a permanent home, and with their little capital, which has now grown to about $-.000, they will get along nicely.

Material to Be Popular in Fall and Winter Garments.

Fabric Needs No Acicrnment or Addi tional Trimming to Make it Beautiful. Velvet Is the most subtly becoming of all soft fabrics that are used for women's clothes and there is promise that the coming fall and winter season will see this material used in great abundance, notes a fashion writer. For draping there is nothing more lovely, and since draping is announced as being one of the -salient characteristics of the newer styles then it stands to reason that this material will have a unique place among the styles. In velvet, too. there are so many lovely and becoming colors from which to choose. It offers a ariet3- that can hardly be equaled by any other fabric. Velvet for afternoon gowns has been shown much favor in the past and undoubtedly it will bethe material de luxe for frocks of this sort this season. Here again the material Is so very popular because it needs no adornment, no additional trimming to make it beautiful. In itself it is just right and leaves nothing to be desired. Velvet for smocks Is also the last word in fashion. There is something about the quality of it that makes It particularly fitting for this purpose, and the mere the smock gains in popularity the more velvet seems to be appreciated In this direction. From the consideration of velvet we pass just naturally into the study of duvetyn and Its allied materials. These soft, woolly, precious materials have seen a great vogue during the last few seasons, and they bid fair to overrun the nation again for the "inter months. A real duvetyn Is an allsilk fabric, a fact which is not generally understood by the majority of the buying public. .And when It Is all silk It is the most beautiful fabric In the world, but not the most wearable. It must he looked after in the most careful way or It will give no service at all, and It is, after all. most highly expensive. In these duvetyn materials the colors of taupe and gray and brown are the most effective and the smartest by all odds. They are bo coming because of their color tone and because of the depth of their weaves, and If a woman wants a gown that Is smart and all around satisfac DAINTY CHIFFON VELVET HAT Chiffon velvet is one or ine season's fashion attractions.

Colors in Evening Gowns

Black and White or Cream Creations Decidedly in the Foreground of Fashion. Evening gowns are colorful In all the new and lovely and illusive shades winch are being shown among the handsomer materials, observes a New York fashion writer. Usually when they are notable for color then they exist for that alone and very little Is done In the way of trimming. It Is the black and white or the cream crea-1 tions on which lace is most lavishly used. There are hats, too. to match, mid to complete the costumes. From IVtIs comes the news of little dress lace caps that the women are wearing. Coats and wraps are as spacious and luxurious and as all-enfolding as ever they have been In the past. They are more so if anything, for the materials are more beautiful than ever, and no expense has been spared when It conies to the use of fur and embroidery and lavishly arranged linings. The linings, really, are developing into the most Interesting features' of these new wraps, for they have become a thing in themselves, something to be reckoned with instead of regarded as merely a background for the display of the cape itself. Some-of them are striped and some of them nre figured and some of them are made of various transparent layers, hut always they contain some Interest in themselves, and often they are related In some way to the gowns with which iley are designed tc lie worn.

tory for dress wear at the same tlmo she cannot do better than purchase one of these weaves. ' For capes and coats and wraps, either for evening or daytime wear, they are particularly good, for In this field they vie with the velvets, which have always been liked for this use.

These are laee days. Lace forms part of many a handsome costume and the economical girl or woman may combine odd bits of lace found In the scrap bag. transforming them Into something beautiful, even though they do not exactly match In pattern. The best way to give to these :m appearance of similarity is to tint them all to a .single shade-ecru, cream or yel low or to dye them in the same way thus securing tints, since' these colors are popular. One may even pick tip bargains in laces upon the counters. and treat them In the same way, thus securing a handsome blouse, or the trimming for an entire frock', at very slight expenditure. A hit of color, or an all-over design to weld all together, may be given by means of yarn embroidery. Two Timely Sewing Hints. When laee Is to be milled upon a frock use one of the top threads to draw It Into fullness. Another device to save time Is, when shirring a skirt, to run about the top a very loose machine stitch and afterwards pull it for the required fullness. Fresh Air and Sunshine. A clean house, with plenty of fresh nlr and sunshine. Is a long stop In the direction of health, says the United States public health service. Smart Feather Fans. Feather fans of uncurled ostricii and mountings of shell are very smart. For the every-day. serviceable outer .vrap the favorite thing is a combination of wrap and coat leaning possibly more toward the coat than toward the wrap Idea. Though this is indeed hard to say with any degree of accuracy, for they are made in all sorts of ways, and It remains to be seen which will he chosen as most suitable for general wear. The collars are still very big. In fact, they are bigger. Sometimes they curve and wrap way down to the waist line, especially when the wrap lies open. In most cases this is the only sign of fur trimming about the wrap. The fur Is concentrated in that one spot, and it produces an efTect of richness and luxury. It is really better sense, too, to do it this way, for there Is not so much extravagance Involved In the cutting up of the fur. Then, too, the extra warmth is concentrated about the shoulders, where it is so greatly needed in really cold weather. These are a few, of the things that are happening in the advance showing oif the fall and winter styles. It cannot be expected that all of them will remain. Fail Millinery. An Interesting feature of the millinery styles so far brought out for fall and winter is the leaning to irregularly shaped brims. Notched, slashed and tinted brims are noted, the general tendency being to feature a shortness of line from front to back, with somewhat Hariris side--.

5?0ö THAT SMALL BROTHER AGAIN This Time It Really Seems That He Has Cooked Sister Evelina's Goose for Good. Some things do fall out awkwardly, don't they? One evening the fair Kvellna was expectingher latest admirer to call and her mother hadn't come back from shopping. So, while Kvellna slipped upstairs to don her best blouse and some powder on her nose, the young brother was left on guard. The- expected visitor arrived, and was ushered into the parlor by William IMward, who promptly began to ask questions, as small boys always do. "Mr. Slowcombe," he said, "what's a popinjay?" . "A popinjay, my hoy," repeated the youiiK man, thinking hard. "Why er it's a rare bird." "Are you a bird. Mr. Slowcombe?" "Of course not! IIa, IIa!" squirmed his victim. "Well, that's funny!" mused William Edward. "Lnst night, after you'd gone, ma said you were a Jay, and father said there was no doubt about that, but there didn't seem much poppln' the question about you.

John Arthur Is a pupil In a .letterKonvllle departmental school, und tiad to write an essay on Woodrow Wilson, among others. He evinced such a high regard for tlie president, especially In his managment of the world war, ns to express the view that he was even greater than Washington or Lincoln. He said they made a fine showing In the little wars they had to handle, but could hardly, he thought, havo got through the big one. His father, seeing the essay, ventured the opinion that the writer was too positive in his statement, although admiring Wilson himself. John Arthur showed he was perhaps something of a diplomat as well as an essayist. "Oh, well," he remarked, "the teacher Is a Democrat, anyhow." Indianapolis News. Couldn't Fool Dorothy.
