He was as hard as ever on the.snob. “He told me a snob story he had heard In Wales. He sald that a Lon- don tallor made his pile and retired to a Welsh castle, where he set up as a squire. “But the tailor had hardly got es- tablished as a squire when a London hatter retired and set up In a nelgh- I boring castle as a squire also. disgusting. “A friend. apropos of the ex-hatters coming, sald to the ex-tailor: “*Will you call on him? “‘Not 1" was the reply. draw the line somewhere.’ *“*And so,’ said the friend, ‘you draw it round the neck, eh? * It was ‘One must | Mere Man on Woman. Sometimes it is funny to observe a woman who steps into a business of- fice where she has never been before. She comes in hesitatingly, looks all around, notes the calendars on the wall, bites her lip, and then wants to know where she {s. But, unlike on a trolley car, she can't step off back- wards. A woman who is traveling likes to Carry a suitcase, a steamer trunk and a handbag. When she gets at the end of the journey she doesn't know what to do with the steamer trunk, and al- | most always nearly loses her hand- bag. Whenever you see a woman who has the prettiest ankles in the world, she wonders, generally, why she isn't pretty everywhere else. She probably is, but everybody doesn't know it. No woman feels at her level best until she gets her collar off and her sleeves rolled up, but she wouldn't | have the next door neighbor know It on her life. Also. she likes the old kimono, and the older it is the better. —Boston Herald. The first time the red automobile passed the house Margaret Holden re- membered with amusement the inco- herent tale which Aunt Sophia had brought home with her from her out- ing the day befor:, of an up-to-date chicken thief who was boldly flitting about the town at night, raiding va- rious roosts, and carrying off their feathered occupants; but when, during the course of the same afternoon, the brilliant machine had whizzed down the street no less than four times she began to feel slightly nervous. “I'm glad Aunt Sophia hasn't no ticed it,” she thought uneasily. Aunt Bophia owned a flock of fancy fowls which was the apple of her eye, and she had already been consideradly up- set by the story of the elusive chicken thief; so Margaret resolved to say nothing about having seen a red auto- mobile. But when Aunt Sophia went to bed at seven o'clock with a sick headache and Margaret was left to her own de- vices the memory of that red auto mobile rose up and haunted her. In vain she told herself that its business had probably been an entire- ly legitimate one; that it had a right to pass the house as many times as its chauffeur wished; that a black machine or a grey machines might bave passed a dozen times and she would not have noticed it. It might not even be the same au- to which she had seen pass the house four times, since she had been unable to make out its number. To be sure there had been only one person in it each time, but that was the chauffeur and, disguised as he was by the cus- tomary auto togs, she could not be certain that he was the same chauf- feur. Margaret shivered a little as she thought what a splendid disguise the goggles and cap and coat would make for a chicken thief or even a burglar. The black mask of the old-time high- wayman was insignificant beside them. *“l don't see why this had to be Brid- get's evening out,” she thought dole- fully. *I do wish somebody would come in. Why, I'd be glad to see even Freddie Lebar and listen to a twen: ty-first proposal.” She smiled at herself for she had left home because she was weary of that young man's persistent proposals, and was half afraid, too, since she rec- ognized the fact that the constant fall- ing of water will eventually wear away a rock, and Freddie was—well, Freddie, the best fellow on earth, if only he did not aepire to be her hus- band. Margaret tried to read; then she walked about the living-room restless- ly. Finally she turned out the lights and sat down beside a front window which commanded a good view of the street. She was not in utter dark- ness, however, for an electric street lamp just below the house filled the room with a soft, dim light. “l might as well watch as 1 seem unable to do anything else,” Margaret thought. The dim light and the stiliness of the place had a soothing effect upon ber, and she dropped Into a slight doze In spite of herself. How long she slept she never knew, but she suddenly awoke to find herselt sitting bolt upright in her chair, ev- ery nerve alert for the repetition of some sound which must have aroused her. *“Guesa | must have been dreaming,” she thought dazedly. Then a mufed throbbing sound reached her ears. At first she could make out nothing. Then slowly, very slowly, a dark ob- ject came into view, an object with a brilliantly gleaming headlight. Margaret peered out of the window as if fascinated, unable to move or think for the moment. Slowly the moving object passed in- to the circle of radiance from the elec- ' tric street lamp, and she felt her heart give a quick bound, as she made out the red color of the automobile. Ever more slowly it advanced until it was abreast of the house—then it stopped. llls solitary occupant alighted, and | stood examining the house intently, as ‘If not quite satisfied that it was the | place he sought. { “Oh, what shall 1 do?" asked herself wildly. “It's the chick- en thief. I'm certain of it. Aunt Sophia will never forgive me if 1 let him carry off her prize winners. Should I call her, 1 wonder? No, she is so timid, she would be perfectly useless. \Whatever is done | must do alone.” At last the fellow seemed to make up his mind that he had made no mis- take, and struck across the lawn to- wards the small building, formerly a carriage house, in which Aunt Sophia kept her pets. an ordinary hen house being considered by her not good enough for them. Margaret realized that if anything | was done it must be done quickly. It would not take the man long to open one of the windows. Her first thought was to telephone i for the police. Then she saw the fu- i tility of that move. Come as quick- ily as it was possible for mortals to | come the fellow would have ample time to disappear, red auto, chickens 'and all, before they arrived. ! There was a streak of fighting blood m Margaret's veins, and it came to | the surface now, nearly obliterating | ber natural feminine nervousness. She looked about her for some —_—_—m—m——mm—m—_— eeeenn—_—_—_—,e—e—e—e—e——eo o Margaret AR IR e G R AR S Qe e S T AR S S e SR A AR, DB R SR SRR L e R s e e e e A S R e R et e i i e RS e G B el By weapon of defense—she could not go upon the fellow empty handed—but the dim light revealed nothing that would answer her purpose. Suddenly she remembered her: Uncle Warren's shotgun which for years had hung upon the dining room wall, “It's just the thing,” she thought. “1 don't suppose it's loaded but the chlck en thief won't know that.” Having softly unlocked the blcl door, Margfiaret took the gun from its | rack, and tip-toed silently out of the house and towards the chicken house. | She was just in the nick of time for | the intruder had raised a window, and was in the act of stepping threugh the opening, or so Margaret thought. “Stop, or I'll shoot,” she cried, as she rushed forward. But in her ex- citement she failed to notice an .upty box which was in her path. Over it she tripped. The gun flew out of her bands, and she fell in a frightened, a}- most insensible heap to the ground. The next moment she was being supported by a strong masculine arm. “Did the gun go off?’ she gasped, struggling to a sitting posture as & full remembrance of the eircum- stances rushed in upon her dased fac- ulties, and she realised that this man must be no less a person than the chicken thief. kindly voice saying gravely, “It is lucky for you, Margaret, that the gun wasn't prepared for business.” “Freddle!” she gasped, sinking back into the shelter of the protecting arm again. After all she felt more dizzy than she had realized, “I'm so glad it's you.” Freddie was glad, too, and he let it be known in a way Margaret could not misunderstand if she had wanted to. “How did you come here, and how did you know it was I, and did the chicken thief get away?” she finally asked all in a breath. “Your volce gave you away when you threatened to shoot,” Freddie chuckled happily, for although he had vot proposed again he knew there was now no need of his doing so. “Of course | knew you were visiting your aunt and | intended looking you up in the morning anyway. Your mother told me where you were. But I guess I'm the only chicken thief that's been here tonight, though I didn’'t know about there being any chickens till a moment ago. I suppose you have been hearing about that chicken thief with the red auto, but he's been caught. “You see, | came down today to see Jack Trently safely married. [ found his chauffeur had cleared out, and as there were no end of things to be seen to I volunteered to drive the machine for him. I've been making the old car hum all day. I'd just taken the happy couple to the rallway station, and was bringing the car back to Jack's fath- er's place, when not being very famil- lar with the streets, I must have got pretty well mixed up. [ went as slowly, as | could, watching for pos- sible familiar landmarks, and when [ got here | thought I'd reached the place. These old-fashioned houses do seem all to have been built from one plan. As everything was in darkness, I thought | wouldn't disturb anyone, but would go and open up the garage before | drove the car in. I found the door locked, but I tackled the window. I'd found, though, that I'd made a thrilling mistake just as you appeared an the scene.” “I'm 80 glad you weren't the chicken thief,” Margaret sighed ronuntedly ORIGIN OF CERTAIN NAMES Familiar as Houuhold Words, the Derivation of Some of Them May Be Unknown, Frout Royal: town in Warren coun- ty, Va, first known as Royal Oak, named for an immense tree growing in the common.

A striking feature noticed on somq of the smart lace blouses and hand- some lace gowns is the touch of rich dark blue velvet ribbon used in several different ways. Combined with the blue ribbons are small square or ob- long buckles of brilliants and sap- phires. The ribbon is arranged to hold up a bit of lace drapery on the bodice or some lace eflect on the sleeves. The broad ribbon or panel ‘eflect starting from the waistline in back shows one of the lovely button or buckle affairs put slightly to one side, and the scalloped overdress or overskirt of chiffon is frequently caught together into flat knots of the blue velvet, which are themselves held by buckles.
