Now and then a college student is called by his name as his mother gave it to him, but in the vast ma- Jority of cases it is by a nickname. Sometimes the appellation fits the in- dividual, and sometimes it is far from it; but once bestowed it sticks. Brian Jeffries had been in college a month before his chum settled on & nickname, and there was much rejoic- ing that it fitted him. He was walking out one evening from his boarding house when he was set upon by three young men. They were supposed to be students, and to be mistaken in their man, and they made it warm for young Jeffries for a minute. Then he rallied, and when he had landed three separate punches on three individual chins the battle 'was over. Brian had delivered “the punch,” as sporting men say, and from that time on he was ‘“Punch” Jeftries. He was neither proud of it nor disgusted with it. ‘When the summer vacation came the young man went to his home on the Sound. He might have gone camp- ing or yachting or tramping, as so many students do, but he was way behind in his studies, and his father had inquired of him: “Do you think I sent you to college to learn to row, swim, box and kick a football?” “Hardly, father,” was the reply. “You stand very low in your studies, my boy; and you must catch up. Spend your vacation at home and do it.” It was a bit lonesome at The Oaks. Brian was an only child, and his moth- er was a semi-invalid and his father a quiet man who seldom entered into i conversation. There were fishing and boating, and there was a trip to the village now and then in the auto, and the remainder of the time was put in reading law and wondering why men with sense enough to peel a potato could not enact a law that a i half-baked judge could not interpret twice alike in the same year. { On his homecoming he had noticed two young ladies at Wave Crest—the ; next manor house below. One of i them was Miss Pryor, whose father ‘owned the property, and the other . was a stranger to him. When he sought information of his mother she replied: | “It is a young lady from the city visiting Miss Pryor. I do not even know her name.” | “Hang it, it I had ever been intro- duced to Miss Pryor here {8 a big : chance for a flirtation.” ! “I'm sorry for you, but perhaps you'll survive the disappointment.” y At about the same hour Miss Callie Floyd, the visitor from the city, was asking of Miss Annette Pryor: { “And who are the people at the other place?” “Their name is Jeffries.” | “Aren't there any girls?” | “No, only a son.” | “College student?” “I belleve 8o, and home now on his vacation.” “He must be a bit lonely.” “Well, it won't be for us to cheer him up. I have heard that he was i very wild and reckless at college.” i “Why, he doesn’t look it,” said Miss . Callle. | “Oh, you are a physiognomist, are you? You can tell by a young man’s’ face fitfty rods away whether he is | wild or not!” | “I—1 thought he had a pleasant face.” ! “Let me tell you what they call ‘hlm in college. It is ‘Punch’ Jef- fries!” . “But why? Does he drink more punch than anybody else?” “It must be that. A young man who knows him told me that he had three brawls before he had been in college & month. I hope he will make no excuse to get acquainted with us. We must prepare ourselves to snub him at the first advance.” “Yes, we must!” sighed Miss Callie as she turned away. Three days later Brian saw the young ladies start for the village in the runabout, and he got out his auto and followed. Why he did it he did not stop to ask himself. Perhaps it was because he had a hope that he might get a near view of the girl from the city. He was half a mile be- hind them, and keeping their pace, when he heard a toot behind him and glanced back to see a young man burning up the road. That toot meant but one thing. It meant: “I am coming and you small potatoes with your cheap machines had better take to the woods!"” Even without the insulting tooting the oncomer would have found one ready to do him battle. Brian didn't like the shape of his headgear. He didn’t like his goggles. He didnt like the pose of his chin. Therefore, when the young man came sweeping up and would have passed on—he didn’t pass. He wanted to badly enough, but he couldn’t just manage it With the two machines running neck and neck, the runabout was quickly overtaken and passed. Brian was on the inside, and he was crowd- ed over until the wheels rubbed each and both young ladies 1 | “But he was racing!” extenuated ' Miss Callfe. EVENING TALEGRAM, LAKRLAND, FLA., NOV. “And it was nothiag to him whether he killed us or not!” “Didn’t he have to race when he was challenged?” “No!” “And shouldn’t he want to win the race?” “Callie Floyd, you were within an ace of death, and yet you are ready to excuse such recklessness!” It was a week later, and Brian was in the village on an errand and had no thought of the young ladies, when an auto, coming from the railroad depot and contaiping a lady as & pas- senger, began t in a very queer manner. It ran from side to side of the street, and the screams of the lady soon collected & crowd. It was Brian Jeffries who first made out what the trouble was and sprang for, ward. The machine had not got be- yond control, but the chauffeur was too drunk to know what he was about. | The man was hauled from his seat and cast into the road, and Brian ex- pressed his willingness to drive the lady to her home. It was then that he noticed the Pryor runabout and the two young ladies, and he thought they regarded him with eomething like horror. “Isn’'t it brutally shameful!” ex- claimed Miss Pryor at ehe looked down at the man on the ground, and in a voice meant to be overheard. “But why did he do it?” queried Miss Callie. “Because he is a ruffian!” l “You are mistaken, young lady,” sald a man beside their machine. “He | | did it because—" But the runabout was put in motion. | Miss Pryor didn’t want to hear the rest. There was something about the incident in the village paper three days later, but she refused to read it.' Miss Callie returned to the city a week later, and although the young man was in no sense smitten ne hoped and believed that she wasn't s0 down on him as Miss Pryor. | A year elapsed and Miss Callie came to spend the summer again, and Brian was spending another vacation with his law books. His father had sald: “No use wasting your time. You will never make even a shyster lawyer. Why don’t you go fishing? It's far more fun.” ! And the young man had eald to himself: “I'll just read up the law on hog-stealing and pretend to my- self that I have been admited to the bar.” ' He saw Miss Callie, but she was twenty rods away and looking up an apple tree. | He saw Miss Pryor, and she wasn't but ten rods away and had a bludgeon in her hand. Brian Jeffries’ time was coming, however. One morning when the whales gam- boled, the mermaids sang and the waters of the Sound were like a bogus half-dollar, the young man went down to take a dip in the briny. Before taking the dip he cast his eyes abroad, and a mile from shore he saw a female rowing & boat around with, one oar. He understood at once. She had lost the other oar and the tide was taking her toward Halifax at the rate of four miles an hour. He waved his towel, uttered shouts of encouragement, and sprang into a boat and rowed as if life were at stake. As Brian drew nearer he saw that the girl was Miss Callie Floyd. Near er yet, and he saw that she was not a bit perturbed. The other oar lay in the boat. . “Why, I—I thought—" he began, when she interrupted him with: “Mr. Jeffries, why are you called ‘Punch’?” “Because I punched three fellows who set out to punch me.” “I see. Why did you try to smash your runabout last summer?” “Why, it was merely a close shave, and I knew I could do it. The chap in the other auto was a ginx, and I didn’t propose to let him crow over me.” “A very proper spirit, Mr. Jeftries, but why did you assault that poor chauffeur in the village?” ! “He was drunk and endangering the life of the lady in the tonneau.” | “Proper spirit again. How many brawls have you had?” t i “Not one.” “Um! Um! Mr. Jeffries, you can: row back and I will follow at my | lefsure. And a man of proper spirit; ought to be able to think up a way | to handle Miss Pryor.” Substitutes for Daylight, As a substitute for the ordinary glass lamp-globe, there has been in- troduced in Germany a globe made of | thin, translucent marble. I The light produced from this globe is declared by experts to be llmoat' the exact counterpart of daylignt. An- other German novelty in illumination consists of a screen coated with an aluminum powder which, when placed before a light, transmits a glare ex—! actly like daylight, by means of which | even colors can be judged with perfect accuracy. H Should these German discoveries prove to be all that has been claimed for them, they will doubtless be uni- versally adopted. Artificial light that is a perfect substitute for daylight is what the world has been waiting for. Might imitate the Squirrel. ! The squirrel is able to tell a good | from a bad nut, man has to bite into the nut and get a bad taste before he knows of his error. The squirrel al- ' ways stores up food for the winter he knows is coming. Is that instinct? I so then 10 per cent of the men of today should go back to instinct, and i not go to the wall every time anything happens that turns their regular in- come in the wrong direction. ! i " of white pique, waist line and flat & Dnovelty that deserves attention, i B | tilly net trimmed with a border design | swathed hip girdle, which crosses di- 12, 1914.

TUNICS FOR EVENING CHANTILLY NET TRIMMED WITH PEARL IS EFFECTIVE. i \ | I Illustration Shows Combination of | Lace and Fur in a Most Attractive | Form—May Easily Be Adapted | to More Youthful Wearer. Laces figure importantly again in | evening gowns, used for an entire | gown or combined with other fabrics. The preference is generally given to the sheer, delicately traced laces rath- er than the heavy ones, and it is pos- sible to obtain some very effective designs at reasonable prices. But nat- urally the better the lace the hand- somer a gown will be. One of the most effective tunics that has been seen was made of Chan- ' of pearl beads. Another clever eve- ning gown tunic was of steel-beaded gray net over a gray charmeuse skirt, and the tunic was deeply bordered with a band of the charmeuse. In the handsome gown of the fllus- | tration a delicate shadow lace tunic is mounted over a long tunic of white chiffon bordered with ermine, and this ; in turn covers a white satin skirt faced to knee depth with black satin and slashed a tiny bit just over the feet in front. ‘ One very attractive touch is noted in the ermine tails that hang around the lace tunic just above its edge. There is a lace bodice with slightly surpliced fronts and kimono sleeves interestingly “nicked out” on the top of | the arms. A section of black satin cut in a deep point, front and back, covers & portion of the bodice at either side, and is bordered on the inside with er- mine banding that runs over the shoul- ders. Black satin is also used for the | rectly at center front; the overlapping end hooking at the left side. A more youthful version of this de- ! 8ign can be evolved through the use of Black and White Evening Confection. .
