MEN AND WOMAN'S CLOTHES.
It may be laid down ns ft general
rulo that tho ordinary man never
knows when a woman's dress fits 01
not unless, of course, It Is an extraor
dinary misfit Ills replies to Inquiries
on that point aro, as practically all
husbands will nttcst, based on what
ho thinks tho woman thinks of It.
When a wlfo, for lnstanco, comes Into
tho room wearing n now dress, with a
Binllo on her face, and turns around
rovoral tlmcn and nsKs him what he
thinks of tho fit, ho replies without
hesitation that It Is nil right that he
likes tho pnttcrn exceedingly nnd that
ho doesn't think ho over saw her wear
anything moro becoming. If, on the
contrary, oho comes In with corrugated
brows and Inquires In a distinctly dis
satisfied tono what ho thinks of the
dress, ho lnstnntly remarks thnt,
though it looks fairly ntco, yet there
in still something about It that he
doesn't like. Ho can't say exactly
what It Is that seems out of koltcr,
but there is certainly something
wrong with that dress nnd It ought to
bo altored at onco. Dut It Is only
Just to tho men to say that tholr Igno
rance of what constitutes tho fit of s
dress Is paralleled by tho feminine in
ability to reallzowhat goeB to make
up a woll-flttlng suit for a raalo per
Bon. As a rule, a woman's advice
with respect to a man's suit Is the
most dangerous thing a man can take
To somo, each now spring comes
with tho freshnoss of n first one, nnd
thcro is an evanescent charm about
it which no other season possesses.
It Ib a long series of progressions,
beginning with tho first soft southorn
breeze, the molting of tho snow and
tho earliest wnrblo of tho pioneer bluo
bird, n tiny patch of sky flown down
to earth, tho unlocking of mountain
streams, tho soft pussy willow buds
and tho twilight piping of froga. There
is premonition and expectancy In tho
air. Then, with alternating showers
nnd sunshine, tho dreary-looking earth
takes on llttlo by llttlo a fresh robe
of verdure, palo green at first, half
hiding tho skeloton outlines of tho
trees nnd wrapping tho landscnpo In
n misty dream of boauty. There are
varying shades; horo and thcro where
there aro oaks, Bplotchcs of brownish
v purplo, and along tho hillsides great
masses of blossoms, dogwood and
Judas tree and billowy reaches of
whlto and pink orchards. All along
tho way In dooryards nro whlto and
purplo lilacs loading tho air with
fragrance, nnd tho fields nro spangled
with goldon dandelions.
Thnt men of wonlth In increasing

In this country. Tho chargo has often
been made that vory wealthy men do
not boar their Just proportion of the
public burdens, and possibly many of
them do not Possibly many of them

Deaf Mutes Fling
NEW YORK. Thero was a silent

of 754 East One Hundred and Fifty
second street, appeared aB complain
ant ngalnst Miss Nora Sullivan, a young
woman of twenty, also a deaf-mute, of
330 Water street. Hecker charged
that ' Miss Sullivan grossly Insulted
him on the street last Saturday after
noon, flinging a broadside of slander
ous epithets at him from tho tips of
her fingers and then banging him on
the head with an umbrella.
Tho young woman, who is short
and plump and highstrung, appeared
In court In answer to a summons ob

Thero wns no deaf-mute interpreter
in court when the caso was called and
Maglstrato Krotel was at a loss to

Man Dies After Fifty Years' Silence
IGBY, NOVA SCOTIA. Within a
few hundred yards of a beach whero
51 years ago two fishermen found him
with hla legs amputated, "Gerome,"
Nova Scotia's man of mystery, died n
few days ago, silent to the end about
his Identity.
Although ho undoubtedly possessed
tho power of speech, "Gerome" had not
conversed with anyoneIn the half cen
tury he had been cared for by Dldler
Comeau and tho latter's sons and
daughters. During nil of this time
"Gerome" had remained a mystery to
the settlers here, most of whom are
known as "returned Arcadians," being
the descendants of the compatriots of
Evnngelind who returned to this part
of their adopted country after their ex
pulsion by tho English In 1755.
Away back In tho Bummer of 18G1,
according to tradition, a ship different
from those usually seen here put off
a smnll boat which made for tho shore
and deposited above tho tide line an
object thnt several hours later was
discovered to be a' man. His legs had
been freshly amputated and there was
a Jug of water and a package of ship's
biscuit be3ldo tho man, who had Buf

n regular beauty squad.
Hat pins caused his cogitations and
tho same pointed reasons, coupled
with an old ordlnnnce that never Has
done duty, will inspire tho 20 girls ho
hopes to enlist In tho service.
"You see, my men nro bashful," ex
plained tho chief. "And men nro any

ST. LOUIS. Passcngors on a Market

With nn Indignant look the girl with

Complainant Hecker wns pretty

Insulted and thwacked with tho um

tho InBults, but Informed tho court
that In thumb nnd digit discourse the

Then Miss Sullivan took, tho stand

couldn't get her. Ho told the magis

however, did "Geromo" utter a word
except on ono occasion when asked
whero he came from. "Trlesto" was
tho reply made, seemingly in an un

Physicians from all" parts of the

Then when the woman with tho hat

girl, wearing, a tiny star whero sho
formerly wore tho pin of her sorority,
will touch her on tho shoulder and
suggest that, "Tho captain wrnts

And herein lies Just ono fear that
may wreck tho proposed beauty squad
before its organization.
What if tho woman shouts; "What

"Your hat pins are too long; they
stick out too far; you aro under ar

Will thiB bo followed by a real hair

"break," stop tho argument, and take
both fighters for a rldo In tho bluo

Theso aro questions experience alone

ho will take a chance on tho battles
