BRIGHT SIDE TO BUSINESS.
Occasional Flash of Humor Enlivens
Chase After Dollar.
It Is supposed that business .etters
are deficient In humor. Still there
have been exceptions, and the latest,
sent by a member of tho well-known
wholesale soap-making firm of (let us
say) Cake & Son, Is one of tho most
brilliant. A retail dealer in a small
way had sent, for a consignment of
their goods: "Gentlemen (he writes)
"wherefor you havo not sent mo tho
nope? Is it bekawse you think my
money Is not so good os nobody elses?
Dam you, Cake & Son! wherfor havo
you not sent the sope? Flense send

THINKING
About Those Air Hogs
Charles Battell Loomis
(Cu ri'lit by W. U.Uiupimin.)
I wn:it io voice what might lie calh.'d
a prophetic complaint, it. is con
nected with the use of the upper air
for purposes of transit.
Of course, everybody Snows that
we'll never have fewer airships than
we do now. In spitu of an accident
here and there that spills a daring
aviator to Jealous mother earth.
where she gives him his quietus, avia
tors are going to become as thick ns
tliH leaves that Milton made so hack
neyed, and by this time In 1!1!9 most
people will live In the air, and the
earth will ho a plieo to which they
will go in tho summer mouths for a
change.
We all know this, wo feel It. To be
sine at present there seems to be a
little difllciiliy In makiiu; aeroplanes

off, and ihcn the aviator hara the
sneers of tho birds us he brings his
flight to an Ing'oricus stop.
Hut let us remember that ten years
ago we were all sneering al me
"senseless toys," the automobiles, and
calling on the officers of the law to
stop them, absolutely, from taking up
th? roadway for the purpose of hav
ing accblentj i; which innocent by
standers or overrrossers were gener
ally the victims. We said that they
would never amount to anything and
that the sooner we forbid theai
the use of any roads the sooner we
should stop their manufacture. That
was ten years ago and now look at
us! We give up all our road.; to them
and we are fast coming to have ihe
French Idea tl'at If people get run
over by tlx in, so much tho worse for
those run over. Why should sensible
persons use such antiquated means of
locomotion its legs? If you would
b up to date luiv tn automobile and
develop speed ninnin at your leisure.
So It will be in regard to airships.
When we see them bursting out. of
buy looking June clouds, and when
the air Is full of eg:; slu lis from some
Sunday rckool picnic 1 .(100 feet nearer
the sun than the crest of the earth Is
and accidents to aliUHps are no more
frequent than luiU-moliUc accidents
are to-day, wo will forget that we ever
called them foolish toys. We will all
own tbeni ami wo will have so accus
tomed ourselves io sudden drops
through 1,000 feet of air to be brought
up safely by somebody's patent pneu
matic buffer that when we ride In an
express elevator to the one hundred
and seventy-lift h story of some hcavon
scrnplng ol'.lce building there will be
heard no gusty little "ahs" from timid
ladles who fancy that their hearts are
aliout to escape by way of their
mouths.
And tlieii it is that the cause of the
complaint at which 1 hinted will mani
fest itself.
The plu'ociats are dally adding to
their estates. A friend of lultie said
to me the otlur day: "Do you know
how many acres that steel man of
SoundSo has?" 1 said I did not.
"Well, sir, be has he has 1 don't
know how many acres." "Heally?
You astonish me," said I. "That's a
ot for one man to have."
In the nour future tiny will havo
wore than that and of cour.v.' they will
control It c'car up to heaven, even if
their lives are not all they should be.
When Kirslilps are perfected a mil
lionaire, can lly up to heaven's gate
and take a look at the place from
which Lis millions may delmr him.
The.o arc k!id millionaires, rhouls
ot them, but there are lots of cur-
mudecon mlllloiuitrcs who will ittLao
rtrht of way across their cloudie
st re wn pastures In tho air.
I know It. I feol It In my bones.
My con Tommy, whose father has only
the money that comes to him when he
can Induce editors to pay up, will
have his innocent aerial runabout,
costing perhaps $100, and as he is i
careful boy I'll let him aviate all h
wants as long as the price of gasolint
rt mains at reasonable rates.
Now do you think it is a square
il al for old Peter Frezimaut to put
up floating barbed w ire fences around
his aerial estate and decorate them
with notices reading: "No trespass
ing here. This Is not a public way.
(5i around?''
lly George, my blood boils at the
Idea, Go around! Do you know how
far It is nround the Frezimaut prop

Tommy has only a couple of hours for

Frezimaut is so selfish ho won't let
anybody go over lils land not even
a quarter of a mile over his land. '
What are we going to do about
It? Shall the people, rulo or
must we sit down and calmly
let men of the Frezimaut type con
line us to certain realms In the air?
In the old days the millionaire's
dictum to the common man was: "Oct

THE WRONG MR. WRIGHT.

Wrong, After All.
The story of Commissioner J.

Is the old story of the wrong Mr.
Wright, According to (he story,
Wright was llrst apprised of his ap
pointment by official advice from
Washington. He had not been an ap
plicatit for favors and hence the com
mission was a ureal surprise to him.
However, he Immediately departed for
the Dakota agency, to which he had
been appointed, and immediately as
sumed control. Some six months later
a federal Inspector visited the agency,
and seeing Wright In the agent's of
fice, inquired If Mr. Wright were In.
"Yes, sir." replied the young agent;
"1 am Mr. Wright
"Not J. (leorge Wright?" further
queried the Inspector.
Wright Insisted on his Identity and
the dumfounded Inspector was forced
to admit the evidence of his eyes and
cars, although ho was expecting to In
terview an elderly man. The inspec
tion, however, proved so satisfactory
that, despite the fact that, the ap
pointment was intended for Wright's
father, whose initials the department
had confused with his son's, the
young agent was retained In the crv

SENSIBLE GIFT FOR TRAVELER.
Safety Pocket In Which Money or
Jewelry May Be Carried.
If you have a friend who is about to
Etart on a long Journey you coulo,
make her no more acceptable parting
gift than a safety pocket to be worn
under the dress. In it can go extra
money and Jewels without fear of los3
or rubbers.
Such pockets can be made of many
materials and in several different
Htyles, but the following one will lie
found generally acceptable.
A pocket Is made from gray suede
or a piece of chamois, 1 1 Inches long,
six Inches wide at bottom, and five
inches at top. The bottom is rounded
and the top is cut square across.
Two pieces of leather are cut and
the edges stitched together on the ma
chine, about half way up. An inner
pocket of stout gray cambric is sewed
on the inside of the suede, the edges
finished with nickel rims and a stout
clasp.
One side of tho leather Is then cut
shorter than the other, which folds
down over the purse lu a flap. This is
fastened by snap clasps such as are
used on gloves. One Is sewed on each
Bide of the flap for extra security.
On the under side of the case an ex
tin piece of the leather or chamois Is
stitched to form a flat pocket. This
Is stitched up the center as well ns on
edg03 to form two narrow pockets for
hills or Jewels. A shallow flap is add
ed which also fastens with the unap
clasps.
The finished pocket is stitched to
two strips or gray belting, one at each
edge.
Home-Made Jabot.
At the place w here Irish lace is sold
there conies a tiny scalloped edge, and
this can be used with good result on
a small bit of inexpensive silk mull.
The two combined make a dainty
and costly looking Jabot for a turn
over collar at a small price. The silk
mull is plain or dotted, und sells for
about 25 cents a yard.
If this is made Into six fine plaits,
about four Inches long, with a tab and
a buttonhole at lop, then edged with
(he Irish scallop, It can be worn with
! ne'8 smartest blouse or sent as a gift
to a critical friend.
Imported Table Linen.
Dainty linen table accessories are
plven more thought than usual since
hnndsome pieces have been Imported
from Italy and elsewhere, temping
women to open wide their purse
strings, and also since it has grown
fashionable to serve breakfast and
luncheon on a polished table with only
dollies to protect the wood finish from
being marred by the dishes.
How to Save Veils.
Women who roll their veils carefully
or put a pin through the folded squure
when they aro taken off. are not only
able to wear tho'r veils for a greater
length of time, but they will never
pull from the case when dressing for
the Btreet a wrinkled, mussy web that
they are ashamed to put ou.
It takes only a moment to do It.

Street Costume.

Amazon cloth in a rich shade of pur
pie is employed for the costume we
show here; the skirt Is long and is
trimmed with wide silk braid. The
coat, which is semi fitting, is cut with
a nhort-waisted effect. It Is edged and
trimmed with braid, and has a turn
over collar also edged with braid; the
tight-fitting sleeves are finished at the
wrist with braid and buttons.
Stretched silk hat trimmed with silk

Rose Color for Children.
One of the new quaint tones in pink,
which Is almost rose colored, Is a fa
vorilo for children's clothes. Coats and
hats are made of It for street wear,
and little slipB for older girls are
built of it in silk, cashmere, chiffon,
tncssalinc and other new fabrics.
Tho coats of old rose are made of
supple broadcloth, cut quite severely
with largo pockets and long sleeves
edged with fur.
There Is also a turnover collar of
this fur, which may be ermine, beaver,
dyed squirrel or chinchilla.
With such acoat goes a broad-brimmed
sailor of soft rose beaver, trimmed
with a band of the fur around the
crown, with a head of the animal iu
front.
The Transparent Sleeve.
It Is rare to see a sleeve that is
lined these days unless it Is of rough
cloth as a part of the waist fabric.
Transparent sleeves are everywhere.
They are of net, chiffon, filet, tulle and
lace, and are worn on cold days on
the street under a coat.
They are conspicuously transparent,
however, even In the house when the
coat Is removed. Added to their thin
ness, and this Is the point, will be
strips of tie thickest fur to weigh
them down.
