LEAP YEAR VICTIM MARTYR TO TRUTH One* I 'was an excellent liar. I rould He a* easily as anybody. My ilea were always plausible, quick, ready and well received. I was happy, content and single. But ail this is changed now. I met a girl who took what she •aid was only a friendly interest In toe. She asked sm tn give up lying, lbs plsa&ed with sm so prettily and

with such evident desire to make me a perfect expounder of truth that 1 promised her I would lie no more. Having given my promise 1 kept it. One day the girt came to me with downcast face, she glanced at me shyly from beneath half-dosed lids. A little .blush played about her dimpled cheeks. She <oid me she was going to be married. I extended my hand. I congratulated her. whole-heartedly and truthfrilly. I was glad. I told her I would give her anything she wanted fog •

wedding gift. “You have only tfl speak." 1 said. **and it is Jours!" “Remember.” sh* said, “nothing but the truth!” , “The truth, always.” I replied. “Name the wedding gift and it la yours," Shyly her little hand sought min* “You!" she whispered. Confound it! 1 never thought oi that! But what could I do?—W. M. Sanford in Judge.

W& Only an Idea ie Needed to Pat Town on the Map In Oberammergau, long ago. they found something else to do besides going to the post office four times a day or sitting around the stove In the grocery store, or dallying In the village pool room. Any small town can become famous and busy, only let It find an Idea, declares F. H. Collier In "Echoes of the Streets,” In the St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat. The world may be too much with us, as Wordsworth said —in the cities, but it Is a vague, far-off matter of languid interest in the village. Very well, then, let the village go about interesting Itself In something. Every one of them would do well to get a hobby. We think of one town in Kansas, which has a huge chorus that offers a musical festival every year that has now become famous. Another in a different state Is devoted to a narfow but fascinating line of horticulture. There is East Aurora. N. Y.. which Elbert Hubbard gave something to talk about. If a small community can do nothing else it can organize a botany class and carry on until it attracts attention as a scientific center in Its chosen field. Science, literature, art and music; horticulture, the liberal arts, mechanics, the drama and metaphysics are all open to villagers to devote their intellectual powers to a special feature. They can’t all be Oberammergaus. but th**y know not what they can be until they try. And “trying” itself breaks the deadening husk of the small-town existence. To Direct Growth of Gotham The Russell Sage Foundation now proposes a magnificent plan for the future growth of Now York. It looks forward to a time when as many as thirty million people will be living within a radius of fifty miles of Madison square. Radical changes on Manhattan island and in the older part of Brooklyn are unlikely, but it is the ambition of the foundation to direct the anticipated growth f t the metropolis In the most convenient manner and provide transit facilities, street and park systems and commercial and Industrial districts for the newer parts of the city, according to the best judgment of some of the most eminent engineers and architects. Its plan will not only make the newest New York beautiful and convenient, but will helps to reduce the congestion on Manhattan Island, especially on the East side. The territory that It will study is virtually covered by the proposed Port of New York authority, from Newburgh on the, north to .Monmouth county in New Jersey on the south, and from Morristown on the west to Bfldsreport and central Long island on the east. It is hard to conceive of a great metropolitan population of thirty million or more, and it may be that events will .falsify the prediction of the Sage foundation in that respect: but New York grows steadily. The region described already contains some nine million people. It will be an additional source of pride to the future citizen if he can think of New York as the most beautiful and cotntnodious of great cities a l * well as the largest. The rer>ort of the Sage planning commission will be awaited with Interest. It can hardly be ready for several years. And when It does aje pear, It will remain to be seen whether the authorities of New York and of all the other municipalities concerned will tie willing to adopt Its suggestion. Pay 9 Teachers Highest Wage High school teachers in Newark. N. J., receive the highest salaries paid for regular public school Instruction in the I’nited States, for they begin at and reach $4,400 by annual Increase. according to (Tty School leaflet No. 15. Just issued by the Department of the Interior through the bureau of education. Casper. Wyo.. a city of only about 12.000 people, pays to beginning elementar.v teachers SI,BOO a year, which is SIOO more than New York and Chicago pay for like service. In general the great cities offer the best salaries, but their highest entrance salary. fUMNL is matched tn some of the smaller places in the West, including San Jose. Richmond and Piedmont. Cal. Many other cities do nearly as well, and the sum which is paid most often to beginners Is SI,OOO. At the lower end of the list is Savannah. Ga., which Is reported in the leaflet as paying only S4OO. with annual Increases of S3B to a maximum of $1,143. Colored elementary teachers In Rome. Ga., receive even less, for they begin at $382, and their maximum Is $l5O. Look Ahead in Planting A big consideration In your spring tree-planting plans Is beauty, says the American Tree association of Washington. D. C. This involves form, vigor. and suitability to location and environment. Factors of beauty also include the coloring of the leaves and the nature and appearance of flowers or fruit The gorgeousness of the maples tn autumn coloring makes these trees general favorites for street plantta«. Rain Tree One of the Canary islands posses*** a rain tree of the laurel species which sheds a copious shower of pure water from its foliage every evening. The natives use the water for drinking and culinary purposes. Seeita Economical Stove The German government is conducting a test of various kinds of stoved and will standardize the most economical with a view to fuel conservation.

TRIM, SIMPLE DAY-FROCKS; DISTINCTIVE STYLES IN COATS

STARTING out with the charm of simplicity the trim day-frock has added many fascinations by invading all the fields of fabrics. It is InYorraal and will prove everybody’s friend this summer, since It is attractively made of cotton, linen, wool, silk and silk fil»er stuffs, and therefore makes a place for Itself morning, noon and evening. French flannel, wool and silk crepes and fiber silks have placed it In the category of .stredt and sports clothes. Nearly all day-frocks are cut on the lines of the pretty mo<lel pictured.

which is adapted to all kinds of fabrics and is so simple that it hardly needs description. Byway of decora- . tion it has parallel rows of tucks put in with beautiful accuracy indicating the “shirt-front” vogue and finishing the turn back cuffs and ends of the attached scarf. This Is an idsssj model | for flannel, crepe de chine, linen or j fiber silk. Lace yokes and inserted panels of I the same lace extending from yoke to i hem «re used with plain satin and with foulnrd in frocks that are equal to any afternoon occasion. Long lines are accented by buttons and simulated

buttonholes that follow one another from head to foot. Variety and interest are added to twill dresses by pipings of silk in prettily contrasting colors. The novelty weaves In sports silks need almost no adornment and confine themselves to these pipings and a few buttons. Barred flannels also Invite pipings of plain silk or flannel in rhe color of the bar. Striped wash silks, showing a colored stripe on a white ground, manipulate their stripes to make themselves Interesting, using bands with stripes running In a different direction from those on the dress. When using crepes designers are given to narrow or wide tucks that present an entire tucked surface, or groups of tucks from top to bottom, or j else they turn to the narrow side or box-plait to vary their creations. The present season is going to make a record for coats of much distinction. Besides the simple, graceful

Coat to Match Frock The fashion of having a coat to watch a frock is In away rather an economical one, especially if both are of heavy crepe or in black satin, which is so smart this season. The long lines of the coat and .Its flattering touches of fur at neck and sleeves make it an appropriate garment to wear on many occasions over other dresses. Particularly attractive are -oats of heavy black satin trimmed with fine white braiding or dull silver galloon.

and adaptable coats for general wear which the spring season brought in such variety of excellent designs, we have late arrivals to consider in dressy coats for midsummer. Fashion’s early edict, proclaiming slmpllcny as the keynote of the season’s styles, has not been rescinded. A fine example of this year’s approved designing appears at the- right of the two coats pictured here. In tide model, for general wear, a beige twill garment has no sort of decoration except a few rows of machine stitching on the sleeves and across the front

This stitching is done with such ac curady ami perfection that they guarantee the craftsmanship of the designer, who might have added much similar stitching, but did not. Therefore attention Is centered on the artistry of beautiful lines and the becomingness of the model. Al the left of the picture an exponent of the black-and-white vogue In coats shows lines that are straight and slim. Many such coats are of crepe marocain and the white applique may be of fine suede or of a wool fabric that simulates It. but other materials are used for making

them. Very handsome models in black and white are made of heavy black crepe and entirely covered with white silk embroidery done in the manner of embroidery on Spanish shawls. White ermine Is used for (collars and sometimes in bandings on a majority of these coats, but white fox is not ignored ; a collar of it is shown on the coat pictured. It would be playing Hamlet with the l prince left out to fail to speak of ; sports and semi-sports coats which many woqjen elect to wear almost everywhere. In these there Is a great variety of fabrics In indistinct plaids, and many novel patterns in stripes and checks. JULIA BOTTOMI.EY. (©, 1524. Western Newspaper Unloa.)

The Chinese Vogue The blouse—perhaps it is an echo of the Chinese vogue—does not end nowadays tJU it reaches the knees. It is long and straight and slashed np the sides. It is also lightly embroidered. Spotted Fur on Wrap* Spotted fur is being used in noticeable quantities on spring frocks and wraps. Not all of It is real leopard, though bits of this are hlghlv fashionable

IVit u an< *£« THAT’S WORSE A cashier at a bank turned up looking pale and haggard. “What’s wrong* old chap?" Inquired one of bis colleagues. “Toou.ache,” groaned the other, “hadn’t a wink of sleep all night." "Ah,” said his colleague, sagely, “you should try the Coue system. Just repeat to yourself 50 times every day, ‘Get beh.nd me, pain.”’ "Not likely,” snapped the sufferer, angrily. “Do you think I want lumbago?” Circumscribed First Old Pal—l suppose you’re occupied in civics and philanthropy. You always intended to devote yourself to the service of man. The Other One—Not now any more. I’m married and the service of a woman takes all my time. Her Ring He took her hand In his and gazed proudly at the engagement ring he had placed on her finger only three days before# “Did your friends admire it?” he inquired tenderly. “They did more than that.” she replied, coldly; "two of them recognized It.” His Opposite Mr. Busker —I'll never marry until I meet a woman who Is my direct op- » posite. Miss Tinkle—Well, there are plenty of intelligent girls in the neighborhood. AND SOMETHING SNAPPED I 14 rA r> V I “Why'd the violinist shake the little girl he was so sweet on?’' “She was always stringing him, you know." ■ As Usual “Beat the train? Oh. sura! Lots of time," said he. “Lots of time" was right— All eternity. Delightful Conversation She —Now don’t talk business again; let’s rather talk about something pleasant. ' He —All right, for example, what did your mother-in-law die of? Restaurant Repartee She (after ordering about half the menu) —I really haven’t much appetite tonight. He—You hide It very well.—Boston Transcript. Going Cheap “Every woman has her price,” remarked the professor. “Yes.” sneered the cynic, “and moat’ of them think they're bargains at a king’s ransom.” POOR RETURNS vrjia “Honesty is the best policy.” “But it doesn’t get you enough to pay the premium on the policy.” = ■"■Illi — Getting Up , “I doubt If there’s a better way.”’ Says wise old Farmer McHorning, “Os getting up in this old world . f Than getting up in the morning." In the Studio Movie Actor —Did you notice how I paralyzed the surrounding audience in that death scene? By jove, I even saw the director weeping. Injin Pirn Wa—Yah ; they know heap well you wasn't dead. The Unkindest Cut Herbert (finding a piece of rubber In his hash)—There’s no doubt about it, the auto is displacing the horse everywhere. Which reminds us that hash isn’t made; it’s accumulated. A Convincing Yarn Prisoner —But I would rather tell my own story. Don’t you think It would be believed? > -.4 Lawyer—Yes, that's the trouble; it would carry conviction with It. Wanted No Misunderstanding Guest (after theater)—How long do you expect me to wait for that terrapin? will be ready in a few minutes, sir.
