The prMCiit fad for using two or more
materials or oolors in the same frock
makes it possible for any woman to
wear the new colors; if the most popu-
lar shade is trying a bodice of chiffon
may bo added that will effectively eff-
set the unbecoming color and render
Hie frock even more modish than it
would be if the material of the skirt
were continued tip to the throat.
Number 8114 shows such an arrange-
ment and the result is very pleasing.
The foundation skirt is of chartneuse
in one of the new reds; the over-bodice
and tunic is of figured chiffon, effec-
tively relieved with black velvet sash

Howell to select
a cigar Hugh Car-
ton ran hla auto-
mobile across the
street and fell In
line, behind two
other cars drawn
up beside the
square. He did
not notice that
the othera be-
longed to a sight-
seeing company
until a musical
t o 1 c e inquired
what his terms were.
Carton looked down Into the face
of an exce-idlngly pretty girl and
flashed a glance at the cars ahead. I>
an Instant be comprehended the situ-
ation. "Dollar an hour," he said gruf-
fly, touching his leather cap with what
he congratulated himself was a good
Inltatlon of a chauffeur's salute.
"I shall want you about three
liourg," she said, simply, and waited
while be sprang down and opened
the door In the back of the tonneau.
In another moment they were speed
lng up the street.
"Turn down the next street to 274,"
she ordered, and obediently Carton
drew up. "I warft to send my mother
out for a drive," she said sweetly.
"Give her a good view of the city and
keep the rest for yourself."
She ran up the steps, while Carton
stared blankly at the five-dollar bill
she had thrust Into bis hand.
A few moments later down the
steps came one of the most eccentric
figures he had ever seen. Her clothes
| bore the stamp of seasons gone be-
fore.
She fixed herself comfortably in the
seat, and with a querulous "Don't go
too fast, young man," they started.
It was torture to Hugh to skim
through the residential district with
this old figure in the tonneau, and
more than one surprised glance fol-
lowed the automobile and the oddly
assorted pair. Even the hope of being
sble to win the old lady's favor van-
ished when after several attempts to
engage her in conversation she leaned
forward and in her high-pitched voice
said: "It's no use to talk to me
roung man; I'm deaf and I wish you
would not turn round; you make me
nervous; you can't see where you are
going."
He heaved a sigh of relief when
at last he deposited her before her
own door and was free to escape.
It was late when he entered the
Howells' drawing room that evening.
The butler was just announcing din-
ner and there was barely time to
make hurried greeting to his hostess
and offer his arm to his companion
for the dinner.
Before each plate on the long table
stood a characteristic favor and the
laughter was long and loud when he
picked up the tiny silver and gilt
cigarette holder fashioned in the form
of an automobile that stood at his
plate. The laughter became a shriek
when on lifting the lid he discovered
s five-dollar bill In stage money.
As bravely as he could, be
faced the storm of laughter and jeer-
ing remarks which followed, but not
until he caught sight of Howell at
the other end of the table, fairly con-
vulsed with mirth, did he discover
the secret of his undoing, for beside
the joker, red ant) unsmiling, was his
fare of the morning.
When they had all returned to the
j drawing-room balm was poured upon
his wounded feelings, for the gtrl
I came up to him.
"I want to apologize to you, Mr.
Carton," she said bravely, "for my
Innocent complicity In the joke my
cousin has played upon you.
"I am Mabel Norton, F"red's cousin,
and It was he who pointed you out to
me and recommended you as the most
careful of tbe public drivers. 1 assure
you that I had no Idea that he was
playing a joke upon you."
"It is all right," said Carton. "I was
playing a Joke upon you, you see. I
had no business to do it, but—well,"
he went on, lamely, "I thought that
maybe—after a while—I might be able
to tell you that you were my guest
and not my fare, anyway—perhaps—
well, I hope your mother enjoyed the
ride."
"Oh, that Is what they are laughing
at. You see. my mother was not at
home when I got back, and I sent my
old nurse for a ride It was the fact
that you had been trapped Into taking
her that made them think It ao
funny."
From an Inner recess of his card-
case Carton drew forth a five-dollar
bill, wrapped in tissue paper. "At
any rate," he said gravely, "I hope
you will let me return this."
"You have surely earned It," she
said, flushing slightly as she saw tbe
care he had taken of It. "I do—do
not want It."
"Won't you exebango It," he aald
boldly, for that rose?"
She unfastened the blossom she was
wearing in her hair. With Infinite
care he folded It In the tissue paper
and placed It whore the bill had been.
"I feel like an extortioner," he said
simply, but there was that In the tone
which spoke volumes.

MADE UP OF SMALL THINGS
Even the Most Insignificant Werda
and Acte May Be Productive et
Joy or the Reverse.
A wild bird's song Is a little thtag
—lost in the deeps of a frowning sky.
And yet aa It falla oa a listening;
ear and leaves lta message of melody,
earth's green seems brighter and lit*
la aweeter, all through an autumn day.
The coo of a babe la a little thing—
meanlngtesa sound from • vaeaat
mind.
But 'tla the only sound that all na-
tions heed; the one clear laaguage all
races know.
A mother's love Is a little thing—to*
scon, alas, forgot
But It typifies to blind humankind
the love and trust and hope dlvlae
that bear with patience calm and
sweet the wilful wrongs In these Uvea
of oura.
A passing smile Is a little thine—i
lost in a world of toll and care.
And yet the aoul with gloom op-
pressed and the life grown wearied
with burden* hard will happier be In
the after-glow of a atnlle that la
warmly kind.
A kindly word la a little thing—•
breath that goes and a aouad that
dlea.
But the heart that gives and the
heart that heara may know that It
sings and sings and slnga till at last
It blends with the wild bird's song,
and the coo of babes In what me* oatt
the celestial choir.—Utica Saturday

MARCH STRAIGHT TO THE SEA
No Obstaele Able to Make Army *f
West Indian Crabs Swerve
From lta Course.
In the rivers and fresh-water
streams of the West ladlaa moun-
tains are quantities of crabs thai
scuttle away when anyone eomef
near, Just like any ordinary crabs
But, as crabs go, these are very ! •«
crabs ludeed.
When an American lady erah
wishes to lay her eggs, she lays them
without more ado and keeps them at-
tached to her body until they are
hatched. But not so her West India*
cousin. Bhe lives In the mountain*,
but she feels thst she must lay her
eggs In the sand of the seashore. No-
where else will do.
So, once a year, all the West Indian
crabs gather In a great army, which
j sometimes stretches 40 yards wide
: and more than a mile long. Then
' they set out for the sea, the males
j leadtng and the females behind
| Norhing can torn this fierce little
I army from Its course. If s house
stands In lta way, or a wall, or a cliff,
i over it goes. Bometlmes hundreds of
j crabs are killed In their tracks, but
| the host keeps straight on, turning
neither to the right nor to the left j
j When the army arrives upon the
; seashore, the females settle down con-
tentedly In the sand and deposit their,
egge. And when the laying season
Is over, the old crabs turn around and
march serenely home.
Made Government See Point.
Lieutenant Waghorn found It dl
oult to conduce the British postofllcaj
of the value of the Isthmus of Sues
as a means of shortening the lettel
route to- India. He guaranteed te
transmit a bag of letters to India and
return with othera to England In the
same time that It then took the letters
to go. He was granted permission to
make the attempt and difficulties at
once cropped up. Coal at Port Said
was $30 a ton, at Suez $100, so he load
ed camels with coal and took them
acroes the lrthmus. When he resched
Suez with the letters the steamet
*hlch he had arranged to meet him
was not there. This difficulty he sur
mounted by chartering an open Arab
boat and forcing the crew at the pistol
point to take him the 600 miles down
the Red sea to Jeddah, where he found
a steamer to take him to Bombay, and
the return Journey he completed wef>
within the time. Thenceforward the
Isthmus route became the overland
route, for Waghorn was able to coiv
vinco the Arabs that the protection ot
the malls was better than looting
them, English gold being bis strongeat
argument
