im I. V t STYLES FOR MISSES MORE NEARLY RIGHT THING THAN THOSE FOR WOMEN. Look Actually Adorable In Baglike Skirts of Hour Many Dressy Frocks Are in One-Piece Models. The fall clothes provided for misse3 strike the heart disgruntled with fashion's follies as' more nearly the right thing than those provided ior woman. True, the small woman may find tb?m to her taste, but the styles are created for the girl, and it is not entirely the traditions of girlhood that make them attractive. Perhaps it is the charm of the very short skirts and the slim figures it may be that the young girl Is more suited to the present frivolities than the woman who is supposed to have come to the age of reason. Everywhere one encounters the maidenly wisp of humanity loosing actually adorable in the baglike skirts of the hour, with their restraining bands or skimpy cut, with the overskirt that looks as if it has a right to be, the short sleeve that seems legitimate and so on. In the field of practicalities a mannish little coat suit represents the proper caper for street wear, and in its moöt killing phases it looks as if it might be made out of three yards of stuff. A trim, dinky sort of little jacket, with coat sleeves fitting all but to the skin and a single-breasted frcnt, is completed with a skirt without a gatler and with only two seams these at the sides. Mannish materials, too, aro being U3ed for it, and for all the f.pparent simplicity of such suits they require the touch of accomplished tailoring. Many dressy little frocks are In onepiece models, or they may be in two sections, with the upper part of the skirt simulating, with a yoke or trimming, some basque finish for the bodice. When the waist and skirt join perfectly it is impossible to see at first glance that these frocks are not In one. Then there Is the straight overskirt still with us, and just row it is the merest cap, hugging the hips tightly and finished with the Jneviiable band the hobble introduced. Delow the cap, fortunately for trace and .locomotion, there may bo a deep kilteel flounce, which in fine materials flutters and waves gracefully with walking. But these are the pet extremes of the hour, and for those who want the sensible thing pray let me Introduce a few pictures which show styles as pretty as they are reasonable. Though designed for misses, the models are appropriate for small women pnd the styles are all quite simple enough for home dressmaking. The combination of Russian coat and plaited skirt, shown In the illustration, represents an ideal style for a young girl's street wear for both .autumn and winter, for i)f wearing a warm little vest under the coat the lres3 would be tuitable for any hut 'the most frigid days. As pictured, the suit is made of a mannish goods in brown and red, with a little handsome embroidery and some fancy buttons on the bodies. The skirt is In seven gores, but a3 these are plaited and sti-cked at the top the effect Is stylishly narrow. This model will be found very good 'UNDERWEAR IS MADE NARROW Skirts Now in Demand Nececsitats a Change In Cut of Undergarments. The narrow skirt3 now in demand necessitate a further narrowing of underwear to conform to the new linen. Drawers, of course, come under this heading, and various Ingenious methods have been devised to narrow them. They are made, for instance, on a voko lop, with wide, lace trimmed leg. A??in, they open on the side, being edged with wide lace and fastened at the side of the leg with ribbons or buttons. And some are made with hnickerbocker band that fastens below the knee and is finished with a niHIe, or are fitted with tucked tops. Altogether, the underwear one buys this fall snould be purchased with an eye to Its possibilities In connection nith the empire gown. When a girl marries for money the Pevil Is usually tk? best man at (to

J for lightweight serge or cloth or some r.ovelty suiting or other, and instead leaf Persian silk could be bought for the collar ur.d cuffs and pipings of the bodice. A gecj wool, with trimmings of black velvet, would be substantial, and if one wants the latest touch she J must res poet velvet now. IS SMART WALKING DRESS Designed for Plain Bronze Cloth, Though Other Material Might . Be" Utilized. The smartness of this would show to perfection in plain bronze cloth. , The coat fits tightly and has the long basque partly cut in with sides and taken nearly to hem of skirt at back. It is edged with wide braid and narrow sewn inside in little loops, this also edges trimming pn skirt which is formed by two large points arranged one over the other. The collar, cuffs, and front of coat are trimmed to match; fancy buttons form fastening. Hat of light straw lined with black and trimmed with silk bows. FAIR APRON" MAKES A HIT Designed by Clever Young Woman Who Found No Further Space for Table at Fair. "The "Fair Apron" it Is called by the clever young woman who is its originator. There being no further space for a table at the church fair In which she was anxious to help, she conceived the idea of making a big, stout apron of denim, with plenty of spacious pockets, and going around with it, selling small toys to the visitors at the bazaar. No sooner thought than done. The apron was made of dark green denim, reached to the knets, and wa3 provided across the base with threo roomy pockets, made in the deep turnover of the hem by two straight Hne3 of stitching. These divided the band into three divisions, which were trimmed with a triple row of narrow white braid. - Two smaller pockets were made higher up. All of these pockets were hastily ornamented by pictures of Teddy bears, etc., outlined In thick white floss. The apron was fastened around the waist by two stout cords, which helped support Its we'ght. So great was the success of this plan with the children who were too small to get near the big tables that the second day of the fair she was obliged to hang a tray around her neck to hold the further wares demanded of her! Hat Trimmings. Flowers are no more to be seen on the best Paris hats; feathers have entirely taken their plac?. Black and white ostrich plumes are first la favor, especially in the willow curl. Paradise aigrettes in the same ehades are also popular with the Parlsienne, though fortunately most of our really well-dressed women refuse to wear feathers that are obtained at the cost of so much slaughter. 1 Fancy Straw Gaskets. Fancy straw baskets which so many of us accumulate can be put to a gracious use by filliug with fresh fruit and sending it to an invalid or to a friend starting upon a journey. The artistic effect is enhanced by adding some of the foliage. Good Collar Support. This new device consists of a, tape pocket into which fits an ivory bong that slips out when the collar ij washed. The tape Is sewn into the collar, and as it is turned over al either end it prevent the bone, from Higging Into the neck. When or.ee ad justed the boning of the collar givei no more trouble, as it is on!y tha ivories in and out. The v.idt.. of the tape is little over a quarter cjf r.n Inch, so that Is Is only slightly percept f bio through the collar. Sizes vary from a quarter of an inch and range in length from two inches to three and a half inches. The invention is highly recommended. Winter Coats. The majority of the all-sorts-of. weather coats are mannish things, really deserving to be called, as they are, overcoats. They are made of fuzzy chinchilla cloth, or blanket cloth, with wide, but not gathered, sleefes, and big storm collars, usually of fur. The coat forms that return to the raglan sleeves arg regaraed as the smartest at present

Courtship

i in

By GEORGE Seven of us were entered 'n the race for Clara J.'s affections, when I determined to get out my saw and do some heavy ice-cutting. The other six were society shines, and every time I dropped into Clara J.'s brownptone I found one of these pale boys draped over a sofa, making gurgles with hin voice, and handing out Fifi glances to my own particular Pattern of Dress Goods. N It was cruel. Something kept whispering: "John, get your brush and paint a finish for these polishes!" so finally I went after them. Percy A of on Jones was my pet aversion. Percy was short and fat, and when he talked he used a blonde voice. Percy used to be a dramatic critic on one of the mail order Journals, and he had the reputation of being able to throw the hammer farther than anyone else in the "Knockers Union." Percy rejoiced in the fact that he was safe from the retributive slap, because when an actor or an author whom he had toasted went after him for the purpose of handing him one, Percy would always pull a frown down over his fat little forehead and exclaim: "Aren't you the rude thing!" in soprano then it was all off. Clara J. rejoices In a small brother whose company name is Thorndykj, but the family call him Tacks for short. Tr.cl:s is eight years old, sharp, and hard to sit on. I was his hero, and it only cost me four dollars, mostly in nickels. So, with the aid of Tacks, I formulated a finish for Percy Acton Jones that was beautiful to the limit. I had often noticed that the parlor of Clara J.'s camp was threatened with a rush of sofa piliows to the ceiling, and one of these saffron-colored sit-down-easys gave me an idea. I took Tacks into my confidence and explained my plan. Tacks didn't like Percys In his estimation the Jones party was a stout parcel of heated air, and Tacks was eager to be up and doing him. At a candy cave I bought a pound of saffron -colored molasses taffy and had it rolled out flat and square, so that it would just about cover the top of a soft pillow. Tacks was with me, going and coming, and when we reached home he went through the basement and let me in the front don. I felt as nervous as an unopened Jackpot, but we finally introduced the saffron-hued taffy to the yellow sofa pillow and placed It carefully in the chair most affected by Percy. Then I left Tacks on guard and gumshoed aw. like Raffles, the busy burglar. When Percy rang the bell that evening the door was opened with a suddenness that made him gasp, and Tacks, with a heavenly smile on his innocent face, led Little Saucer-eyes straight to the taffy-covered sofa pillow, like a lamb to tfie mint sauce. Percy sat carefully down on the sugar-coated pillow, and Tacks, hardly able to suppress his emotion, shrieked hoarsely: "Iii tell Sister you're here!" and went madly on hl3 way. But Tacks didn't tell "Sister." ' He ran out In the dining room, put his head under a rug on the floor, and choked for five minutes. When "Sister" entered the parlor. Tacks was among those "also present." The taffy had taken kindly to Percy's lavender panties. Percy arose to Greet Clara J., and with him arose that yellow soft pillow, clinging tremulously to a background of outraged lavender trousers. Clara J. was a brave girl. She longed to take the lid off a laugh that would startle the neighborhood, but she was polite enough to renig. So she stood there, biting her lips, while Percy bowed and bobbed, and every time he bobbed the soft pillow went up in the air like the wash on a Hue on a windy day. "Won't you sit down. Mr. Jones?" Co With the Aid of Tacks, I Formulated a Finish for Percy Jones. Clara J. said, sweetly; then in a swift aside: "Tacks, leave the room!" Put Tacks wouldn't go not for priceless gems! Percy proceeded to part his coattails before doing a Society droop, and in that manner he grew wise to tha Mr&hip attachment in the rear. An expression of wonderment crept over Percy's fnce, and with much deliberation he started to pry off the incubus. Then something ripped. It wasn't the sofa pillow. Last of the Shakespeares. A man bearing the name of William Shakespeare aud clamiing to be the last lineal descendant or the great poet is living in Warwickshire, England, where he supports himsc?f by cultivating a garden on the borders of fhe Forest of Arden and selling turnips and cab'ngos in the sorrounding villages.

II. '

V. HOBART I Clara J. was painfully embarrassed. ! and Tacks was busy taking care of a series of internal spasms. Percy beran to back up. Presently he hit a small table on which rested a costly bit of bric-a-brac, and over went the whole plazazus with a smash oa the floor. Percy gave Clara J. the frightenedfawn eye and started to gather up the shells from the floor. Wheu Percy's shoulders went down, quite naturally the pillow went up in the air, and then Clara J .collapsea. Tacks was under the sofa biting holes in the carpet. Attracted by the crash. Mamma and Papa cut in. They stood in the door and watched Percy digging for broken bric-a-brac with a sofa pillow clinging gayly to his southeastern extremity. He looked like an animated Japanese lantern. It was too much for Papa. He gave Percy the hoot and ducked. Mamma teetered over to Percy and said: "Oh, it doesn't matter, Mr. Jones;" and then she took a pufl at the pillow. As she did so Percy sat down on the floor with a bump that shook the block, and it was even money who was the most surprised. Mamma or Percy. Clara J. had left the scene of battle, and Tacks was out in the hall praying for power to laugh just five minutes longer. Percy arose painfully. So did the sofa pillow. Mamma eyed them both suspiciously. ' "I beg your pardon, Mrs. Vanvivver!" said Percy, and with both hands behind his back he took another yank at the evil. "R-r-r-r-i-p!" Percy stood up and Mamma exclaimed: "Mercy on us!" "It's a mere nothing, I assure you!" said Percy. "Won't you re-seat yourself?" asked Mamma, politely. "I'm afraid I'll have to when this Clara J.'s Papa Used to Float in the comes off,',' answered Percy mournfully. "I fear I don't quite catch your meaning," said Mother, and now her signals were out for a cold wave. Percy blushed and said: "The fact is, Mrs. Vanvivvier, I'm making a collection of sofa pillows new fad, don't you know. Awfully jolly sport! Miss Clara said I could have this one, so er er that Is, I took it. Fad of mine, don't you know." "Indeed!" said Matnma. "Well, it must be rather awkward to carvy the bottle of mucilago that goes with that fad. Good night, Mr. Jones," and with this she brushed by and left him on the ice. Percy stood there a living picture entitled "Down and Out" He hadn't a frienu tn the world except the soft pillow, and that stuck closer than a brother. . His checks were all in, and he had just made up his mind to leap through a window, call a cab, and say: "To the morgue, drive fast!" when Tacks jolted him back to life by saying: "Here's Pop's old overcoat. On your way, quick. Send the pillow home by express and all will be forgiven." With something akin to joy in his heart, Tercy dug up a dollar, gave it to Tacks, and said: "Littlp man. you've saved my life bless you, bless you! Tell your sister I leave town tomorrow morning: very early and may be gone for seven years!" Then Percy and the Eofa pillowwent under tho overcoat and the whole package made a rush for the door and freedom. He never came back. When I sauntered in a half hour later I overheard Clara. J. sayiag to Tacks: 'Here's a dollar, you little imp. Nov.-, don't you dare tell John Henry." The next day I gave Tacks another j dollar for not telling me. There was only one way to get rid of the other five saucy ones who sat around and spilled words In Clara J.'s parlor, and that was to induce her to walk down tho church aisle with' me until tho minister stopped us. So I framed up a line of talk that I thought would be strong enough to make her look up the murket quotations on freshly picked orange blossoms. I figured it cut that all I hr.d to ilo was to talk my lines and the ghi v.oild swoon at my fret. With a r.pc-jch like that the part would play it-elf there wa.- nothing in it! l'.ut luck wasn't with me. L'nkind Fate gavo me the double daughter of the poet and has be described for many years as the last of the family. A3 Shakespeare left no tons ! Is difficult to understand how the Warwickshire gardener can bear tho name, unless he is descended from some ctlur branch of the family. Made It Heave To. An old lake sailor, a bit wobbly as to his underpinnings, stood at tho corner of East Fourteenth street and Euclid avenuo tho other night waitiflfi

cross and my hoodlcdoo was working overtime. For two weeks I was out on a sidetrack with my strong speech locked up In a cold storage car. The trouble was that the old folks looked upon me as one of the family to such an extent that every evening Clara J.'s Papa used to float In the parlor and cut ice for hours at a time, while Mamma sat in the rocking chair and made faces at hersell in the mantel mirror. It ras a fight, and there was a tieup in the wedding bell business, but I won out. Clara J.'s father is a Wall street broker retired. Every morning for 20 years he went into the street and came home at night with a hat full. He used to throw what he made in the cellar, and when the cellar wouldn't hold any more be got mad and quit bringing it home. One evening I brought Papa a book entitled "An Inexpensive Way to Get Rich," written by a chap who Is visiting friends in the poor houso Father went out in the dining room and started to read the book tn Mother, and she went tc sleep. Here was my golden opportunity and I cashed in. I led Clara over to a dark corner and began to talk fast. "Clara J.," I said, "for weeks and weeks I've been wailing for a chance to place your tiny mitt in mine ana give it the silent squeeze take that! Through all the waking hours of the day and through the lonely stretches of the darksome night I think of you, only you, beloved look Into ray lamps and you'll see I'm not kidding you! Are you next, little one?" Clara J. nodded. This was the opening scene from my strong speech, and It seemed to be a hit all right; btjt perhaps I wasn't swallowing my palate and getting nervous! Well, maybe! "Listen, Clara J." I braced and began to push the lawn mower again "since time immemorial men have knelt at the feet of beauty and er er I say. since time immemorial ken have melt at er " The wheeU were slipping and I had no sand. "I say, Clara J., since time mlmmlmimorial ken have belt at the meet of that is to say, ben have felt at the keet of er or " "Back up!" said she very softly, and my life was saved. It was the first time I ever heard her use a fancy phrase, but she bad timed it just right It brought me bank to earth as no olher words could. Isa't she the wise little gazabolne, though? I discarded my strong speech and got right down to cases. "Clara J.," I said, "months nd

"Yes," she said, and her head dropped a little lower. "I was out," I went on, "to hand you one of those long, ready-made speeches, full of moonlight serenades and peeping stars nestling in azure skies, and soft sentences tied up in a true lover's knot, but I fell down In tho first lap and had to cut it out. Now, the point is this: When can I grab you by the southpaw and lead you off to a minister's, where together wo can hear the birdies sing?" For a moment she was silent, then she looked up and said ever so sweetly: "It's up to you!" The next minute well. It's none of your darn business! (Copyright by G. W. Dillingham Co.) LOCUSTS THICK IN AUSTRIA American Traveler Saw the Schoolboys Killing Them by the Millions Nerr Trieste. "If the locust has left the United States it hasn't become extinct.

MISHAP TO "JACK AND JILL" Certain Familiar Mother Goose Rhyme Is Revised by Copy Read In Newspaper Office. Good nonsense grows out of good nonsense. A writer in the Chicago Tribune imagines what a "copy-reader" in a newspaper office would do with a certain familiar Mother Goose rhyme. The copy-reader, who has had a reporter's training, and has learned to write everything alike, sits down for a few moments, and revises Jack and Jill" somewhat as follows: Jack, aged seven, son of Peter Jone -298 Spring street, nnd Jill, aged si:; daughter of Mrs. Abigail Thompson, 29t Spring street, at eleven o'clock yesterday morning walked up the hill near the junction of Blinker avenue and Fordyce place. For the purpose, as Jill afterward explained, of procuring a pail of water although the improbability of their finding water at the top of a hill naturally suggests itself. Jack, who was carrying the pail, had started on the return trip, accompanied by the little" girl, ' when he stumbled, as is supposed, over some obstacle in hl3 path, and fell, his head striking the ground with great violence. Doctor Slack, who was at once summoned, pronounced the lad's inJury to be a fracture of the anterior portion of the cranlu:, and ordered his immediate removal to Blessington hospital. And Jill, who had fallen at the same time, either through excessive fright or in consequence of having stumbled over the same obstacle, but had received no serious Injury, went home unassisted. TEACHES ART OF SWIMMING Apparatus Invented' by California Man Makes Children Proficient Without Aid cf Water. An apparatus to teach swimming without water has been invented by a California man. The principle lies in the fact that it will teach tho proper stroke because no other is possible, and when this movement has become a habit the pupil will strike out in the correct way as soon a3 he or she hits tho water. The novice lies on a padded support, which extends tc her knees. x She grasps a pair of pulleys above her head, and attached to these pulleys are cables. Tho cable in her right hand is fastened to her left ankle and that in her left hand to her right ankle. When the learner's hands are brought down to her sides In the arm stroke) her7 legs are made to kick h; Swimming Apparatus. out with the same motion. When the force of this movement is spent her legs are drawn up again by a strong elastic cable, also fastened to the ankles and attached to - the apparatus above her head. The support on which the "swimmer" lies i3 extended far enough out to prevent her arms going below the level of her body, and auxiliary support limits' the downward movement of her legs. Mistaken.

REASON FOR PETER'S TEARS Vire From Bale of Hay Caught In Mouth of Hippopotamus Caused Big Animal to Weep. Peter cried steadily for nearly I week, and the keepers at the Crom zoo in New York could not imagin what wa3 the matter with him.

When, at last the keeiers looked down Into the bacli of Peter's great red mouth they sa that an iron wire that had been usee" for baling hay had been Jabbed lntc the flesh and was sticking there. I: was no wonder that Peter cried ant could not eat. The keepers fixed tin hippo's jaws open, and then one of tbi men reached in and tied a cord to thi wire. It took three men to pnll it oi't but they dld( it, and then Peter went to work on the dinners that he had not been eating. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Made of awl-work Shoes.
