LaK ELAND, FLA,, MAY 1, 1913, lREGOGNIZED A PATCH By JACOB LOWENBURG. “Is there any;:ereatlnx incident in his life that the public would en- joy reading about?” The reporter turned to Mr. Johnson, the friend of the great singer, whose concert they { bad just come from. “Why, yes.” Mr. Johnson smiled at the memory. “It happened about seven years ago, and was the beginning of Alfred Hendricks' career.” | “May I have it?” The reporter took out his pad and pencil ready to take his notes. “It was late afternoon, and I was coming from the ferryboat with Mrs. Johnson, then my flance; as Wwe stepped into the street she dropped her umbrella. I stooped to pick it up, and a small box, containing the en- gagement ring I had just purchased tor her, dropped out. There were & lot of newsboys gathered about. One grabbed the box before I could get it and disappeared into the crowd. I in- stantly darted after him, and Mrs. Johnson after me. “We ran through Twenty-third street to the elevated station; he ran up one side and down the other, I con- tinuing after him. He was & better runner than I, so in a short time he managed to lose me. Mrs. Johnsom had grown tired and taksn the car to my mother’s, so I at once telephoned to the police, then went home.” “Giee! What luck to lose such & ring” The reporter spoke sympa- thetically. *Wo put several detectives on the case, but there was little they could do, outelde of watching the various newsboys at the ferry. “That evening my mother was not well, so my fiance sat with her, and father and I went to the theater. It was amateur night; they had the usual bill, followed by the amateurs. Most of them were impossible. “About the tenth on the bill was a little fellow who looked about tem years old. He was a nervous chap and very shabby. He worried through the first verse of a popular song. Some- thing in the song—or perhaps it was the boy—pleased the howling mob, for | they actually let him sing the chorus, | not once, but fully a dozen times. “FMs voice was beautiful, the most vibrant, sympathetic boy’s velce I have ever heard.” “Well, it's wonderful, now,” the re- porter smiled knowingly. “As he left the stage,” Mr, Johnson resumed, “somcthing familiar caught | my eye—a patch on the seat of his trousers. I had chased that same patch from the ferry to Ninth avenue that afternoon. The patch was black-and- white check, and the trousers gray. “I whispered a word to my father, and together we left the theater. Fath. er hurried to the police statfon, and I went to the stage door, found the man. ager and told him the story. “The boy was waiting with the He received {t; then Mr. Emery, the manager, brought him to me. “‘Johnny,’ he eald, ‘did you ever see this gentleman before?’ ““No, sir,’ the boy replied promptly. “But T was gure about the patch, so I simply accused him at once, For a minute he geemed terribly frightened, then Le looked me in the eye and | said: “‘I didn’t take your ring, sir.’ And his lip trembled slightly. “‘But, my boy,’ I think I sa1d it { kindly, ‘T recognize the patch on your trouscrs,’ ‘“‘Oh, elr ho emiled, ‘these ain't | my pants; T didn't have any so good, 80 he lent them to me, the boy next door did. He's sick tonight. “I laughed at the boy, but the clue was too good to lose, o I offered him a large reward if he would take me to his friend. “‘Will you put him in jafl?* he ask. ed. And it was not until I had given him my word not to punish his friend, it the ring was returned, that he con. sented to take me to his house. He had worn the pants, and he could not be unfaithful to the one who had been kind to him.” “Did you recover the ring, and what became of the thief?” The reporter had been busily writing. “We sent the guilty one to a farm, where he was cared for, and Mrs. Johnson recelved the ring in due time.” “And little Hendricks?™ “We looked up his family records, and finding he was quite alone, we adopted him. And not once in the b | seven years have we regretted it.” “That was a lucky patch for him.” As the reporter spoke Hendricks join. ed them. “You are correct,” he sald to the re- porter. “That was a patch worth hav- ing, and it is now almost my most valued possession, “Outside of my"— tears came into his eyes—"“foster fath. er and mother.” Court With Little Pomp.

From the Establishment of One of the Most Prominent Parisian Modistes, the Costume Is Well Worth Studying. Our plicture is of a simple walking gown upon lines laid down by a cele- brated Paris atelier, a possession I have always found a need of upon the turn of the year. A gown after this genre is inexpensive, or, with the exercise of discretion, it can be made 80. Then, during the first taste of spring, it can be worn out of doors merely supplemented by some fur set. And it 18 under these conditions that 1 have had it depicted. In serge, faced cloth or eponge the model would work out equally well, the col- lar of velvet falling on to a square yoke or collar effect of the fashion- able Bulgarian embroidery. A partic- ularly delightful line is carried out in a heavy piping, just below the figure, of the arm. And into this deep epau- lette a reguiar bishop tleeve i3 set, the fulness at the wrist drawn into a turn-back cuff of the embroidery. Nor are the services of the bias band, running in ‘a diagonal line from the throat to midway down the skirt, to be underrated. This affords just the requisite firmness of outline and, at the same time, imparts length to the figure, sometimes lacking when & walst line is distinctly marked, as in this case, although, as {s decreed, there {8 nothing to suggest pressure and the wast {3 normal. There I8 a tremendous feeling for this fanciful closing line in front, which, as we are once again permitted to enter our bodices in front, is a matter for deep gratitude.—London Madame. DICTATES CF FASHICN Small black hats of breitschwanz have a single aigrette rising up from a dazzling stone. There 1s a positive fad for small hats and toques, some fitting the head as closely as a cap. The Turkish blouse seen on after- noon gowns is made of a darker ma- terial than the fancy mousseline dress, and edged with fur. Beautiful sets of natural red fox, with their dangling legs and talils, dook a8 it their fair wearers had just re- turned from the chase, It s dispiriting to notice that para- dise plumes continue to lead in popu- larity, notwithstanding the many pleas for this unfortunate bird. Transparent sleeves and corsage of tulle or lace and kimono draped sleeves remain popular on many hanr- some brocaded and velvet robes de soiree, The short dolman mantles of fur seem to be galning. Usually they are fastened with a single large button or buckle, or tortoise shell or strass stone. Millinery now being prepared for the sunny south shows a great many flow- ' & ers, also net and ribbons. Satin, wood and bright velvets are used ia these flowers.

These cloaks are always useful and look well made either in red, white or any pretty light color. Firm ma- terial should be used, such as nap cloth, face cloth, or fine serge. The cloak may be lined throughout if lik- ed, but the hood must be lined unless the material used is very thick and has both sides alike, It unlined, the edge of material should be bound with ribbon and turned up, then stitched close to the ribbon; this is better than turning in 8 hem in the ordinary way, as it is not so thick. If lined, turn in the edge of both cloth and lining all round, tack them together, then neatly slip-stitch the edges; join the shoulder parts of cloth and lining separately, and let both seams face inside. Rather large hooks and eys should be used for fastening, the eyes to be worked over in buttonhole with silk of the same color as the material The lining of hood should be joined to material in the same way as that of cloak. To gather up the edge make two lines of stitching half an inch apart, about three inches from edge, as shown by dotted line in the diagram; thread elastic jn between the cloth and lining; the elastic should draw the hood up just to fit| loosely round the face.
