WITH A STRAIGHT, SHORT, WRAP-AROUND SKIRT. little tendency to lengthen the skirts of sports clothes or of the tailored two- piece_suit, save for a ible inch or MARSHALL. you would find it desirable to add this extra inch or two for your new sports clothes and tailored suits. Certainly no one can complain of monotony in the present program of fashion. Times have changed greatly since frocks for morning, afternoon and evening—for sports, dancing and | house wear—were all very much the same straight one-piece sacks, differ- ing little save in material. Now there are a dozen different solhouettes with which to vary your appearance. The simple little tatlored suit that you will probably choose for street wear next Spring—or for immediate wear if you intend to pass the re- mainder of the Winter in a mild climate—is straight and scant and short. There are fairly short circular | skirts for sports wear, but the skirt of | the tailored suit is almost invariably straight. Your afternoon frocks are, of course, longer, with a slightly uneven | hemline, and your evening frocks are | either very long or declded“\y uneven, | with _foundations coming just below the knees, while drgpery here and there extends to the ankles. Don't make the mistake of being too |sure that there is anything final in the present tendency toward longer skirts. There is, of course, the possi- bility that fashion is really through with the short skirt for the time bei But there is also the possibility that| she isn't. There have already been several ups and downs in the history of the short skirt—and there is no proof that the present “down” may not be followed by still another “up.” We have a cap for this week’s dia- gram—a mob cap, if you make it of work. A boudoir cap if you make it of georgette or crepe de chine or net. It is yours for the asking—just send a stamped, self-addressed envelope and we will forward the diagram and di- rections at once.

Ropert Jones Burdette, born in 1844, was an American humorous writer. ‘made e ABiintion, " Towa.” Hawk Eye famous with ‘his writings. One day, not a great while ago, Mr. Middlerib read in his favorite paper a paragraph stating that the sting of a bee was a sure cure for rheumatism, and citing several remarkable instances in which people had peen perfectly cured by this abrupt remedy. Mr. Mid- dlerib thought of the rmeumatic twinges that grappled his knees once in a while and made his life a burcen. He read the article several times and pondered over it. He understood that the stinging must be done scientifically and thoroughly. The bee, as he under- stood the article, was to be gripped by the ears and set cown upon the rheumatic joint and held there until it stung 1tself stingless. He had some misgivings about the matter. He knew it would hurt. He hareiy thought it could hurt any worse than the rheuma- tism, and it 'had been so many years since he was styng by a bee that he had almost forgotten what it felt like. He had, however, a general feeling that it would hurt some. But desperate diseases require desperate remedies, and Mr. Middlerib. was willing to undergo any amount of sufferng if it would cure his rheumatism. He contracted with Master Middlerib for a:limited supply of bees, humming and buszing about in the Summer air. Mr. Middlerib did not know how to get them. He felt, however, that he could safely depend upon the :nstincts and methods of boyhood. He knew that if there was any way in heaven whereby the shiest bee that ever lifted a 200- pound-man off the clover could be in- duced to enter a wide-mouthed glass bottle, his son knew the way.

Mr. Middlerib did not tell his son what he wanted those bees for, and the boy went off on his mission with his head so full of astonishment that it fairly whirled. Evening brought all home, and the last rays of the declin- ing sun fell upon Master Middlerib with a short, wide-mouthed bottle comforta- bly populated with hot, ill-natured bees, and Mr. Middlerib and a dime. The dime and the bottle changed hands. Mr. Middlerib put the bottle in his coat pocket and went into the house, eyeing everybody he met very suspiciously, as though he had made up his mind to sting to death the first person who sald “bee” to him. He con!lded his guilty secret to none of his family. He hid his bees in his bedroom, and as he looked at them just before putting them away he half wished the experlmenc was safely over. He wished the imprisoned bees did not t and cross.

Mr. Middlerib said nothinfi and crept into bed. After ly- ing still a few moments he reached out and got his bottle of bees. It was not an easy thing to pick one bee out of the bottleful with his finger, and not get into trouble. The first bee Mr. Middlerib got was a little brown honey bee, that wouldn't weigh half an ounce if you picked him up the ears, but it you lifted him by the hind legs would weigh as much as the last end of a bay mu]e Mr. Middlerib could not_repress Mr. Mlddlerlb feu hot, about 86 all over and 197 on the end of his thumb. He reversed the bee and pressed the warlike terminus of it firmly against the rheumatic knee. It didn’t hurt so badly as he thought it would. It didn't hurt at all. Then Mr. Middlerib remembered that when a honey bee stings a human foe it generally leaves its harpoon in the wound, and the invalid knew that the only thing this bee had to sting with was doing its work at the end of his thumb. He reached his arm out from under the sheets and dropped this dis- abled atom of rheumatism liniment on the carpet. Then, after a second blank wonder, he began to feel round for the bottle, 'and wished he knew what he did with it. In the meantime strange things had been going on. When he caught hold of the first bee, Mr. Middlerib, for rea- sons, drew it out in such haste that for a time he forgot all about the bottle and its contents, and left it lying un- corked in the bed, between himself and his innocent wife. In the darkness there had been gen- eral emigration from that bottle. The bees, their wings clogged with the water, Mr. Middlerib had poured upon them to cool and tranquilize them, were crawling aimlessly about over the sheet. While Mr. Middlertb was feeling around for it, his ears were suddenkv thrilled and his heart frozen by a wild, plercing scream from his wife. Mr. Middlerib sat bolt upright in bed. His hair stood on end. The night was warm, but he turned to ice in a minute. “Where in thunder,” he said, with pallid lips, as he felt all over the bed in frenzied haste, “where in thunder are them infernal bees?” And a large bumble, with a sting as pitiless as the finger of scorn, just then climbed up the inside of Mr. Mid- dlerib’s night shirt until it got squarely between his shoulders, and then it felt for his marrow, and he said calmly: “Here is one of them.” And Mrs. Middlerib felt ashamed of her feeble screams when Mr, Middlerib threw up both arms, and, with a howl that made the windows rattle, roared: “Take him off! Oh, land of Scott, somebody take him off!” And when a little honey bee began tickling the sole of Mrs. Middlerib’s foot, she so shrieked that the house was bewitched, and immediately went into spasms. ‘The household was aroused by this time. Master Middlerib and the serv- ants were pouring into the room, add- ing to the general confusion by howling great | 8t random and asking irrelevant ques- tions, while they gazed at the figure of a man a little on in years, arrayed in a long night shirt, pawing flercely at the unattainable spot in the middle of his back, while he danced an unnatural, weird, wicked-looking jig by the dim light of the lamp. And while he danced and howled, and while they gazed and shouted, a navy blue wasp that Master Middlerib had put in the bottle for good measure and variety, dried his legs and wings with a corner of the sheet, and after a preliminary circle or two around the bed to get up his motion and settle down to a working gait, he fired him- self across the room, and to his dying day Mr. Middlerib will always believe that one_of the aervmm mistook him for a burglar and shot him. No one, not evo? Mr. Middlerib him- self, could doubt that he was, at least for the time, mast thomwly cured of rheumatism. own could nat have carried hunselt more lightly or with greater ity. But the cure was not permanent, and Mr. Middlerib does not like to talk about it. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D, A Good All-Night Baking. New.

Putting a Value on It. Futting s value on “it” when it is anything from a fur coat to an Orien- tal rug is not a matter of guesswork. At least, it should not be. The trouble with guesses is that they are. some- times wrong, “and" when property of value is at stake it is worth while to be_thoroughly right.

First of all, a false valuation or an in- accurate one will arouse the suspicions of the insurance company and may re- sult in a slow adjustment of one's claims. An overvaluation may be the cause of one being denied any further insurance, because of the moral ri such insurance would involve. ‘There is still another pmflcn rea- son for b.ln,uneeunh in an appraisal, No matter t one's valuation may bo. before a claim will be settled the in sured person must show proof of nlm This wou!d naturally mean showing a bill of sale, or other documentary proof.
