THE MIRROR CHARMING MODEL It is so easy to find sports clothes that are "different" that I wonder why it is so many women gon't exercise a little discrimination in their shopping and hunt around until they find a model that is not just like everything else. The frock in the illustration, al- though a regulation two-piece model with a pleated skirt, has, by the addi- tion of a touch or two, achieved that smart difference that distinguishes it from the ordinary dress. This is done by tiny bands of the material in, a loop trimming at the collar, cuffs and pockets, while the blouse is fin- ished at the bottom with a wide, tight- ly fitting band around the hips. Although this particular model is - of white crepe de Chine, it would make up equally well in almost any shade. Frank Daniels, early in his career, Was principal in a small company that was touring "the provinces." Business had been poor and eating had become a luxury. It was only the cheering knowledge that the new opera house at Ticonderoga, New York, had been almost sold out for their performance that kept them to- gether. "Wait till we get to Ticonderoga," the manager would say to any one who faintly suggested the price of a breakfast. Finaly they did reach Ticonderoga. It was eventide and a rosy glow illum- ined the western sky. "Ah, me," sighed Daniels to the stage driver. "The sun may set in other places, but never as it does here. Behold yon--" "Sunset!" growled 'the driver. "Sunset hell! Thet's the opry house burnin' down." x # & Two London cabbies were glaring at each other. "Aw, wot's the matter with you?" demanded one. "Nothink's the matter with me, you bloomin' idiot." "You gave me a narsty look," per- sisted the first. "Me? Why, you certainly 'ave a narsty look, but I didn't give it to you, so 'elp me!" a. 'Come out here a minute." A disheveled man, much the worse for liquor, staggered out of a Maine speak-easy" and laboriously propped himself against the door. For a while he owlishly surveyed the passers-by. Suddenly his foot slipped and he col- lapsed in a heap on the sidewalk. A moment later he was snoring. A hurrying pedestrian paused, re- flectively surveyed the fallen man for a few seconds, and then poked his head in the door. "Oh, Frank," he called. "Frank. Presently the proprietor of the joint, smoking a fat cigar, emerged. He blinked in the bright sunlight. "Hello, Hud," he said pleasantly. "What's up?" Hud jerked his thumb toward the slumberer on the sidewalk. "Yer sign has fell down," he ex- plained, and briskly resumed his walk uptown, THE OLD ARMY GAME Mother Mule--Yes, my Maud's the mascot at West Point. Mother Pig--That's nice.

Prospects of a very heavy tourist traffic are already in evidence. While motoring through eastern Ontario this week we saw several parties with their tents pitched, usually beside some stream. The town in which we had intended staying one night the hotel was filled, so we went on to the first large house, where there were accommodations for tourists signs dis- played and was informed by the pro- prietor that they were already filled up, in fact, had to put beds in the downstair rooms. They enquired why it was so many of us were out so early in the season. However, we secured splendid. accommodation a little farther along the highway.
