DENTIST TO HAVE THIS TOOTH PULLED { '‘BY LAFAYETTE PARKS. “The fasting cure that so many tried when I was a boy seems to have become popular again,” remarks Brightside, as the parental pride arrives for the evening education of Father. “Nix on the living skeleton stunt for yours truly,” replies Son, excavating a torch. “It is remarkable how long a person can go without food and not suffer from the effects,” continues Father. “But the little camel is the only boy in captlvity that can go elght days without a drink and get away with It advises Son. “If the circus people would pry loose the recipe for flagging the life savers a gink might be able to save some mazuma.” ““Three young women out on Long Island are trying to fast for two weeks," resumes Father. "I presume their experience Is | designed for some scientific purpose.” “Probably want to get their figures down to fit one of those skinny princess- effect gowns,” snorts Son. “When you see a skirt going without the eats you can gamble real money that she's in training for some dressmaker stunt. The sclentific dope is a punk guess, pop.” like to belleve that our women today take genuine Interest in the more serious things of life,” regretfully comments Father. “Anybody that can coax little bright eyes away from her dally chocolate drops and fce cream soda, to nothing of three square meals, has got to hang up a prize some better than & leather medal,” de- clares Son, “'For the first three days these fair fasters ato nothing,'" reads Father from the evening paper. 7 i “I'd hate to cash up for the check when ‘‘“How to Live Without Eating.’’ Their Latest Tabloid Sketch. v 3 THe THIRD DAY 1 ATE A PAIR OF. BOKING . GLOVES 2 they call in the handsome waiter to break their fast,” announces Son. “‘One of the women, who is a married lady, sald she felt no humger, although seeing her husband eat his meals, " gleans Father from the newspaper. “Cheaper to get married to a dame like that than to come across with two bucks per for a hall room and live alone,” de- cides Son. “If wifle could live on a glass of water and a toothplck and not get peevish a chap might get hooked up and tuck away a few simoleons on a fifteen- buck salary. What throws a scare into me oy the matrimony game Is not having any chance to fuss with a few pleces of change between pay days. “Milk, orange and lemon juice are to be taken by these women during the last ten days of their fast” explains Father, “The marrled dame wil the lemons to ‘hubby with the stunt,” is probably hand before she gets away Son's bellef, “and send |in a hurry order to the butcher to get busy with the meat axe, “There'll be a beefsteak famine in that town when little wiffe breaks her fast.” “Dr. Tanner, back in my time, went | without eating forty days, and he sald it did him good,’ recounts Father, “Old doc was there with the bluff, but | it history s O. K. nobody bit at the come- on,” reflects Son. “When I had the phys!- cal culture bug I scorned food myself— when anyone was around to listen. As | soon as they went away, though, I'd try to chew a little juice out of a nice clean lambskin lodge apron I had in my bureau drawer. 1 got by the first day all right, I was supposed to swat a leather punching ‘IMR in between times. The second day I tried ‘to eat it.” “The third and fourth days they say faster can't bear the sight of food," Vi unteers Father. “The third day I finished off the punch- Ing bag and then ate a pair of boxing gloves,” relates Son. *“On the fourth day I tried to run down a nice plump yellow +dog that reminded me of a Coney frank- furter. I don't know whether it was be- cause I was hungry or merely in need of exercise, “At the end of the first week I've heard one feels fresher and less desire to eat than right at the start,” avers Father. “The best of 'em can't put anything over me on being fresh at the end of seven days,” admits Son, “because I spent the fifth, sixth and seventh days in my fa- vorite restaurant trying to catch up. Never again for your little Willle." [} (Cupyright, 1910, by the N, Y. Herald Co.) _—_—.—__.-==h_—fl = Colored Handkerchiefs Will be Used Greatly this Year J seas as have the more important details of women's wardrobes, and the new designs | and colorings“in these small accessories are | fascinating. To begin with, almost without exception all the new handkerchiufs display, a touch | exceptions are the lace| of color. Tne trimmed kerchlefs that are costiy. The cheaper lace handkerchicfs are given | a touch of color, even though it may be| only a cluster of tiny dots worked in each corner, or a single letter that appears in one corper. Another new feature is the narrow hem No up-to-date handkerchief shows a hem wider than one-quarter inch, and some are even narrower. The smartest design for morning wear or with any tallored sult is white, with a narrow hemstitched edge enclosing a band of solid color In a deep shade. For In- stance, dark brown, dark old rose, deep watermelon pink, dark wistaria, apple green, ete.. And, as the bands are from one to two inches wide, such handkerchlefs | will be a consplcuous detall of the tollet For that reason alone it will be wise to choose these accessorles either to match or harmonize with the gown with which they will be worn. No less assertive In regard to coloring are the handkerchicfs for afternoon, for although the tones are lighter than those | used for the bands, three and sometimes four colorings are printed on the one small white handkerchief. In some deslgns the |corners will be blocks of solid color, in | such tones as yellow, old rose, pale pink | and pretty shades of Lue. These form a xblck‘mund for contrasting col in such | destgns polka dots, broken bars and | flowers conventionalized Others are hemmed with a color and dis- play a border inside in the designs men- | toned. The varlety of colors and designs seem to be endless, so there will be no sired. 1 At first glance the array of new hand-| kerchlefs reminds one of the old-fashioned kind that were used by children long ago. These were known as school handkerchiefs, and three or six were packed in a small box. For this reason they seem to be scarcely the prettiest finish for an afternoon tollet, [ but I am told they are correct and sell rapldly. The handkerchiefs are finer, of course, than those sold for children's use, and the prices are from 50c upward. For the same prices are dainty looking handkerchiefs, white and colored hems, in TEN TO ONE He—T've been engaged about ten times. " She—You must be unlucky in love. Styles in handkerchiefs have changed this difficulty about matching any tones de- light tones, the initials worked in the same tone, but In a block design, initial appears on stationery. 8o far the chantecler not entered the |realm of handkerchlefs, but a novelty is the automoblle kerchef, This comes In white, with a narrow, cl- ored hem. There Is a tiny auto embroid- ered In one corner. Above auto ap: pears a bird holding a spray of flowers fn 4 just as an its beak, the other ond reaching the seat of the auto.
