RBING OF CHARLIE By LAURA HOOVER, * Miss Stelter finished arranging the t of the display cards of buttons, d then gave a final pat to the large pds of hair plastered over each of pr ears as she warily located the dis- nt form of the floorwalker, “Mame!” she called across the isle. Been them airships?” “Sure!” responded the girl at the ndkerchiefs. “Art he said last ght he'd take me up in one, only he ! as afraid I'd yell He knows a an who Is cousin to a man who eans an airship garage—an—" “Charlie took me down Michigan venue ycstidday,” 'nterrupted Miss elter, ruthle “Charlie always antsme to be in - a everything, Say,it as great! I nearly broke my neck— “Those 'r’ ten cents a card. No, e ain't got none bigger for ten cents, “Wouldn't some people frost you, lways wanting morg'n their money’'s jorth! Well, we looked at them ings floating around in the sky till was dizzy. Then I grabbed Charlin y the arm. ‘Don’t you never,’ I said o him, ‘don’t you never go up in one f them machines as long as you know he, Charlie Johuson! You've got to romise’! " “What'd he say?” inquired the girl t the handkerchief counter. “I ought-a-known better,” pursued iss Stelter. *“I ought-a remembered harlie’'s high-strung nature, and how t always makes him stubborn to cross pim. But I was that foolish! It made my head ache to ihink of his being a thousand miles up in the air nd me down below wondering it A ——— two baskets'd be enough to gatber up the pleces in. Anykow, I'm nervous. “Dress goods, three aisles to the left. No, madam, we don’t carry that style button. I tell you that we don't, so what's the use of looking for it here? “I'd like to give these people a plece of my mind who think because this is the basement they can impose on us! So I said, ‘Charlie Johnson, you can just promise me this min- ute. You know how stern Charlie can look when he wants to—I suppose it comes from ordering people to step | forward in the car—and he just turn ed his full expression on me. And then he said he wouldn't!” “My!" said the girl at the handkern chiefs. “Is he that stubborn?”’ “Uhhuh,” said Miss Stelter, proudly. “That man is a regular stone wall He sald a man that was a man court- ed danger instead of running from it, and it was,a duty he owed— “Six cents a dozen. These are eight. “He looked grand, too, as he sald is. Five aisles down. I wish peo- ple would go 'long about their busi- ness and stop Interrupting! He said he wouldn't humor me in such fool fshness, *“‘But aren’t you afraid? I ast him He just laughed at me in a scornful sort of way. ‘Afraid!’ he said. ‘Me afraid! Well, T guess not! Going up fn airships is the best thing I do! Why, I'm perfectly at home in the air! Of course,’ he says, ‘I've never been up in one of these here machines, but being on top of the Masonic temple shows a fellow what Le can stand. These people who talk about danger, huh!’ I felt proud of Charlie when he talked like that!” “Of course you did,” agreed the girl at the handkerchiefs. *“I know when Art says—" Bates’ Great Stock Reducing Sale Starts April 26th Headquarters for Good Merchandise At Big CUT PRICE ¢ O ME ANRD S L E B AT E B ASK ABOUT FREE TICKETS TO THE AUDITORIUM A YOUNG ORANGE GROVE. on Miss Stelter. “It's a bad habit to get into. ‘But it's dangerous,’ I told bim. ! ‘Dangerous!”’ | “Charlie just hooted. ; ho said. ‘About as much danger as i you could put in your eye! The ma- chines are perfectly harmless, and you | can manage 'em with a single twist of l‘.e the wrist, because I've read about | I expect I'll buy one when ! ‘em. they come down cheaper. Why, there won't be any accident when every- body travels by airship. They'ro great!’ “We were standing looking up with ous necks 'most broke an’ me hanging on to Charlie’s arm, coaxing him. I was bound to get my way, though I was proud to hear him talk, “Right in the middle of a sentence Charlie give a yell that you could have ; heard a mile off, and waved his arms like a thrashing machine. ‘Run!’ he shrieked, ‘run for your life! The thing'll get us all,’ and he streaked it. “You see, somebody in an wupper story of a hotel had dropped an open newspaper from the window, and Charlie’s eye had caught a glimpse of | the thing floating down on top of our | heads—it was getting kind of dusk— and I guess he thought an airship | had got loose and dropp d. “S~y, you ought to have heard the | people laugh! I was awful ashamed, | but the newspaper drop» * right on my hat and covered me up. | “Charlie came arouad last night, and | | 1 tol1 him what I thought of him, put- ting a lady in such a position. But | ho promised he'd never go up in one of the things, anyhow!"” “Well, I should think you'd be re- lleved,” sald the girl at the handker chiefs. “Men are the limit!” Niagara Falls Storles.

A good mpulsc is a good thing, but the disporition to aet upon it is even fivor “Oh!"” she cried, “that reminds me—I ! : PROPER PLACING OF FEATHEH'USE FUR TRIMMINGS Slflflfli"(l Algrette Must Be Correct, or Wearer Will Give It the Unwished-For Fantastic Touch. It you are not careful, the erratic ather or aigrette will become fan- tastlc, and that is a term to be shun- ned by well-dressed women. The angle of the feather is mow a thing to be conjured with. It marks the professional touch with chie, with individualism, with success; it stamps the amateur’s with failure. Aigrettes are now placed anywhere. A small cluster of fronds can be ad- Justed in front, with a sweeping line toward the back. The same ornament can be placed on the under line of & brim, held in position by a cabochon or a stiff necktie bow of maline. Brush feathers or algrettes have un- limited possibilities They stand straight up in front on many of the new Russian toques. At the side, too, they give a fashionable charm. The .“fountain” aigrette decorates the small turban or the large hat, un- der the brim, and points downward. It also forms a front upstanding decora- tion of jeweled fillets for the evening coiffure, Long single feathers resembling question marks and snaky lines are placed at the sides of small hats, sweeping in peculiar, almost gro- tesque lines above the main portion of the hats, Ornaments of feather in all kinds of disks, brushes and “fantaisies” .are placed where spots of color are need- ed. Brims and crowns ave used indis- criminately, and the unusual effects are the result. Don't think for one moment that a feather must be placed in one line or at one angle.

Return of the Dolman. From somewhere on the ashes of other dead things there has returned to us the dolman. Not precisely the model of the '§0s, but with some similitude to that wrap—the adoved of the middle aged—fashioned in broche or velvet. For the revival vel- vet {8 the chosen fabrie, preferably in a vivid tone, tempered by a collar of dark fur, the pelt, however, not occurring elsewhere. They are quite a full lengtk, these dolmans, and the sleeves emerge mys- teriously from the back, being carried to within a short distance of the wrist, and then caught into modish | cuff. One reason—and it seems to be good—given for the reappearance of | this manteau is the affinity It bears to | the panniered gown, the two marrying ! wmost happily. i and fringe. LEADING MODISTES INSIST ON THIS METHOD OF DECORATION. I Small Pleces Enhance the Beauty of Any Costume—Sometimes Serve as 8houlder Straps—Follow Satin and Chiffon, An idea of the number of ways in which small bits of fur may be used may be had by glancing at any of the afternoon and evening toilettes in these days. A gown of cloth will have epaulettes of fox or squirrel. A dance frock will have a row of little furry heads across the bodice instead of a row of roses, or the narrowest possible bands of fur around the edge of the short, fllmy sleeves, or a tiny edging on the chiffon tunic. Collars on every sort of gowns are likely to be finished with a bit of fur on the ! upper ed;e, and sometimes an entire collar, closeitting as velvet, will be made of the fur—a separate one or attached. Cuffs on tallored sults of velvet and broadc! 'h and all the nov- elty goods from Paris are pretty sure to be of fur, and many a suit, as welt as a fur coat, boasts big round buttons of seal or mole or ermine. The eve- alug wrap, it it i3 not made wholly ot fur, can hadlly be said to rank high unless it has at least a broad collar and revers of some soft fur, and per- haps a fur rose or buttons as a fas- tening. Often it s bordered all around with the fox or ermine, or whatever chances to have been chosen. The best of the French wraps seem design- ed to give contrast, as except in the case of a few all white models—white velvet edged with ermine or white fox, for instance—a dark fur is usually chonen to ornament a light brocade or velvet, and a white or very light fur on a dark wrap. One of the very attractive acces- sories of the cloth suit or the after- noon gowns is a large combination col- lar and jabot made of fine lace with fur trimming. This {8 worn outside the coat of a suit. Sometimes the entire collar {8 made of the fur, fas tened in the back, and there are small sable heads or what not down the center of the large double frilly Narrow band trimmnigs of fur are used on chiffons, and even laces and sometimes a band of fur serves as & shoulder stran, instead of the more tamiliar band of rhinestone or pearls, A charming frock of girlish type was seen recently. The blouse and tunic were made of fine shaded lace, and decollete bodice being finished with a row of tiny pink silk roses vell- ed by the lace. The skirt was border ed by a band of swansdown, The frock pictured is of pale yellow satin and chiffon with a lace tunie. Two narrow bands of skunk extend from the shoulders in straight panel effect down the front to three-quarters the length of the skirt, slanting away to a point at the back. A panel of lace threaded with gold begins below the bust line, extends dewn between rows of fur and forms the tunic, which reaches below the knees. The skirt crosses over at the left side, forming a slashed effect at the bottom, The other {8 a frock of silver tissue draped up at the right side, showing an opening at the bottom. The skirt is crossed by a band of black fox. The tunic and bedice are of mothet of pearl beading with handsome mctifs A band of fur encircles the walst and is finished with a vel- vet flower, MARY DEAN.
