John Henry on Snapshots

W HEN Aunt Martha garr friend wife that new-fanKled camera I had a hunch that the dealer* In photographlc luppllea would be Joyoualy ahricking the return of good times and hotfooting it to the hank with the contents of my wallet. Peachas Jut grabbed that camera and went after everybody and everything In the neighborhood. She took about eight hundred views of Unci* Peter's country home before she dlnoorered that the camera wasn't loaded properly, which was tough on Peaches, but good for the bungalow like everything else In this world, plcture-ptnchlng froth stUl life depends entirely on the polnl of view. If your point of view Is all tight. It's ac easy matter to make a four-dollar doghouse look like the villa of a Wall atreet broker at Newport Ten minutes after friend wife had been given the camera she had me act np as a statue all over Unde Pe-

In exclaiming: "Oh, Joy! John. 1 have developed two pictures!" I wish you could have seen the expression on Peaches' face. in order to develop the films a picturesque assortment of drugs and chemicals has to be used. W’dl, friend wife had used them. A silent little stream of wood alcohol was trickling down over her left ear Into her Psyche knot, and on the end of her nose about six grains of extract of potash was sending out signals of distress to some splritr of turpentine which was burning on Jhe top of her right eyebrow. Something dark and lingering like iodine had given her chin the doublecross and her apron look like the remnants of a porous plaster. Het* right hand had red. white, green, purple and magenta marks all over It, and her left hand looked like the Fourth of July. "John!" she yelled. "Here K Is!

I sat for two hundred and nineteen pictures that forenoon, and 1 posed for every hero In history from W'llItam the Conqueror down to Doctor "Cbok, with both feet In a slushy little snowbank representing nearly-the-north-pole. But when she tried to coai me to climb up on a limb of a tree and stay there till she got the picture of mo looking like an owl. I swore softly In three languages, tell over the beck fence and ran for my life. When I rubbershoed It back that afternoon friend wife vaa busy developing her crimes The proper and up-to-date caper in connection with taking snapshots these days la to buy a developing outfit and upset the household from pit to dome while you are squeextng out pictures of every dearly beloved friend that crosses your pathway Friend wife selected n spare room on the lop floor of Undo Peter's home where she could awslt developments A half hour later ghastly noises began to come from that room, and mysterious whisperings fell oui of the window snd bumped over the lawn When I reached the front door I found that the gardener had gone, the

I said; "but whose woodshed Is HT*' "A woodshed!" exclaimed friend wife "Why. that Is your face. John. And where you think the door Is open is only your mouth!" I looked crestfallen and then I looked at the picture again, but my belter nature asserted Itsolf and I made no attempt to strike this defenseless woman. Then she banded me another picture and said: "John, Isn't this wonderful?" I locked at the picture and muttered : "All I can see Is Theodore, the colored gardener, walking across lots with a sack of flour on his back! ' John, you are so stupid." said friend wife. "How can you expect eee what it Is when you are holding the picture upsld.r down?" 1 turned the picture around, and then I was quite agreeably surprised "It's immense'" I shouted.

She went out of the room without saying a word, and I took out my pocketbook and looked at It wistfully. (Copyright. UU. by lbs McClure per Syndicate ) VICTORY RESTED WITH PAT Lawyer Cot Decidedly the Worst of Verbal Combat With Irish Jockey. An Irish Jockey sraa called as a witness In s trial, and the opposing counsel was doing all he could to Invalidate his testimony. ' What are you 7" he began In a bullying 'on*. "Sure. I'm a jockey, same as my father was before! was the reply. “Ah!" said the barrister, thrusting his bands la to bis pockets and preparing to enjoy himself hugely with the witness, "and I suppose your father did a little cheating In hU time, like the rest of the fraternity*" "Troth, and I supiose he did noi an' thin." was the quiet response. “And where do you suppose he la now?" "In heaven. I hope, rest his soul. "And what should such fellows as Jockeys do there. I should like to know?” inquired the barrister. In e voice of thunder. Faddy scratched bis bead. Then, with a aly grin, he replied— 'Train bosses for the angels, perhaps." "And cheat them as they did their fellow mortals?” "MayU so.” replied the Jockey, still unabashed. "Ah! they would be prosecuted th»n." exclaimed the banister. Ui umphsntly. ' Sorra a bit." answered the witness. "And why?" "Because they might search over and over again, and no lawyer would they And there."

Understood His Profession. The professor of Jurisprudence In a western university was lecturing to a hundred embryo lawyer*. He asked whether anyone In America could own property. One fellow answered. “No a criminal can't own property.” But the professor said "Suppose a man who owns a ranch gets Into trou hie with his neighbor, assaults him and is put Into the penitentiary, does be still cwn the ranch?" The class was unanimous that be did. says the Youth's Companion. 'if he did not continue to own it.* went on the professor, "what would become of It?” That was supposed to settle the dls cusslon. tut one boy called out. 'The lawyer would get It." There was a hearty laugh, of course, and the professor added "We learn two things from that apt remark: bo a lawyer, and don't be a criminal.”

This easy and comfortable-looking afternoon gown of taffeta with a la re bodice, might lack Just the requisite crispness if It were not worn with s dashing hat that draws its inspiration from Spain. This last Item in the costume Is decidedly new tn style and one tees this Spanish Idea In evidence wherever the new millinery modes are displayed. The hat Is made of velvet over a frame having a flat brim and a soft puffed crown. A narrow hand of velvet encircles the crown at Its base. Small silk-covered balls are set about tbs brio-edge snd two sprays of flowera. In vivid-colored velveL net In dark foliage, are applied flat to the brim. It is posed at a saucy angle on the head by means of a bandeau, which lifts It at the left side. A scarf of soft silk Is draped ever the bandeau and finished with a loop and two {minted ends that hang toward the back They are weighted with the little balls set about the point. Tbe bodice of black lace over white chiffon Is cat In kimono fashion, with sleeves extending below tbe elbow Tbe open throat is finished with small revere of velvet snd a strap of

velvet extends down the front. Little pearl huttoos. set close together, and a narrow fancy braid at each aide, decorate 1L Tbe skirt Is plain and gathered with a Uttle standing ruffle about tbe waist Hoe. Tbe bottom la finished with shallow sea'lop bound with the taffeta. It Is rather abort and. altogether, the dress goes well with the very new hat whlcn Is worn to such advantage with It. This costume Is an excellent one for general afternoon wear and wUl please those who are fond of Informal dances—the devotees of Lbs dansant JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

, I TURN TO THE PANNIER

FRENCH MODISTES TAKE UP THE NEW STYLE.

Did Fashion Revived snd In Pronounced Form — Has Much to Recommend It From the Point of Beauty. At the Newport fashion show as well as at the openings in Parts, there was an undoubted preference shown to the pannier. Lumile has advocated It , for six months and will continue to do so. as her new and wonderfully lovely i for Florence Walton have j In those she makes tbe pannier of tulle or go'd lace, sometimes srtred ! to stand out. again bunched high In masses of materials. She has also , returned to favor the afternoon ; frock of colored silk with a fichu o( organdie and high looping* o* the fabric* over the skirt, s kind of Mo- | xanlan costume which Is quit* fetch- | <• Parts has shown an even more pro nouuced form of tbe pannle* borrowed from Marie Antoinettes day. The skirt of the special frock that has caused much comment has s flounce of blue chiffon edged with velvet ribbon, over which are panniers of dowered yellow taffeta. This fabric extends shove the belt to form half of the bodice, the other half being bnllt of chiffon with shoulder straps of bine velvet Panniers are not exactly the kind of tb!r.g that one wears well In the street but for the evening they are charming. Made of tbe soft taffeta that will remain fashionable this winter, or In tulle edged with brilliant metal embroidery, they present a pleasing contrast to the type of evening frock that the designer* have given us for several seasons If the lash ion lor combining lace with satin or flowered silk Is actually taken up as It deserves to be, then Ibe pannier will be tbe most expressive way of handling these two materials In Juxtaposition.

Embroidered Drest. A very attractive dress for a < Is mads In one piece. A collar and bolero effect are gained by means of embroidery work done in outline stltehee and French knots. If the work Is does with colored thread on white linen or fine pique, the two features stand out more prominently. A crushed girdle of linen to match the color of thread used for embroidery is placed rather tar below tbe natural sralst line.

Although there is no end of varletf tn the abspes of hats for little girls, the small-brim mod hat promises to continue as a favorite. At least five out of six of all the hats shown may bo relied upon to carry a soft, moderately large crown upon a pertly drooping brim. The brims are jno.w or less wide and more or less fiaxlble, the wider ones providing the floppy, grace fully curved lines about the face that suit girlhood so well. A hat for dally wear, to and from school, or otherwhere, and one of velvet for dress-up are shown here They are selections from a number of thoroughly practical hats for little girls Tbe hat for school wear la made up ■n several novel weaves In woolen fabrics and has a plain crown and a flexible brim Machine stitching D so Important factor in Its makeup The brim may be tv, ued up or down at any position The crown la quite plain and finished r' Its base with e band of the same material as the hat folo. contrasts ar.d novel patterns In the material are the factors that place this hat above the eommonpUce The hat at the rlgbt la of brown velvet with soft puffed crown and plain brim that suggests the poke-boonet shape A full ruchlng of tan-colored satin ribbon Is gathered about the Joining of the crown and brim.
