Brooklyn. N. T.—There are fashions la tombstones as well as In everything else and some of the strangest and most unique monuments can be found la the famous Greenwood cemetery Brooklyn. One of the best known of these Is the one erected- to “Billy" West There are many who remember "Billy" West of Primrose £ West fame As a chaser of frowns and { <igha be rivaled Lew Dockstader. liter ! ally provoking the pessimist to forgot ! his woes and smile with him. That i* "Father" Chadwick's Tombstone. why bis friends have perpetuated bis memory by a unique mausoleum. Paaeersby are sure to be attracted < by the pretentious monument, and i those who pause will see s cumber of curious symbols, all :>f which have reference to some ' phase In the minstrel's life. Over \ the granite entrance is inscribed 'be name which tells whose body lies therein. The monument It self Is surmounted by a life-like bust jf the minstrel. All the carvings are symoblle of the muse he served—the Goddess of Music herself. There are the bones and castanets and banjo; there is the mask of mirth; there is the seat of minstrelsy—empty, to be sure, for “Billy" West is no more. Within this Inclosure, too. are the signs of several fraternal orders to which the minstrel belonged. In striking contrast to the simplicity ' • bleb characterizes another section ! jf Greenwood is a pretentious marble •lab surmounted by a huge baseball. Two bronze bats crossed over a base I ball glove on one side of the monu ment tell their story. Evidently friends who erected the monument | realized that no other eulogy or epl l t*ph was needed, and the small bronze nameplate lacing the low mound bears I the simple Inscription: "In Memoriam, ; Henry Chadwick. Father of Baseball. Born October. 1824. Died April 20. l»0d." This bronze tablet Is In the j shape of a baseball diamond. In the •enter of tfce Inscription is a quill and \ fountain pen. In memory of his being •porting editor of the Brooklyn Dally j Eagle from the early days of the quill 1 until the advent of the fountain pen. Hla signature, "Old Chalk.” was much beloved by baseball enthusiasts, who watched dally for more than a quartet of a century for his reports. The mar ble sphere surmounting the monument signifies more than a prosaic baseball: it is a sphere of the globe symbolizing ! : the world In which once lived and moved the "Father of Baseball."

T. IT may be the height or the upward effect of this chic and daring crea tion that has given it its name, but in either instance the title is appropri ate. Here we have the narrow bri>m and the tall trimming that character- j lze the fail fashion in millinery. The hat is of black velvet, the brim sur mounted and the crown surrounded by a mass of soft curled ostrich from which spring a dense cluster of straight, tall feathers. This simple dress might be made up In lined or any washing material. The skirt has slight fullness at the waist, and is trimmed at foot of cen ter back and front by cotton braid, sewn on in half-diamond shapes; two buttons are Bewn above this. The kimono bodice is trimmed the same at neck, waist and on sleeves. Materials required: Three and one half yards 36 Inches wide, two dozen yards braid, one dozen buttons. STYLES IN HAIR DRESSING Smaller Chapeaux Will Necessitate Radical Changes in the Fashion ing of Coiffures. The gradual revival of the small hat is causing several modifications in the style of our coiffures. The day of piles upon piles of curls has quite passed, and it is even considered good style to wear the hair almost flat, so long as it is not strained back from the face. In fact, there are a few women who have always kept to this fashion of dressing their hair, and there is one big dressmaker, noted for her distinction, who insists upon her models doing the same, thing They part their hair In the middle. take it loosely back from the brow, and gather it into a rather protruding coil c the crown of the head. A tortoise shell pin or two, a silver or jeweled dagger, or some equally rare but simple ornament is the only deco ration allowed with this style of coif fure. In all styles, however. It Is now the right thing to avoid ribbons, jeweled bands, tulle and all things which sug gest the turban. The only people who will be sorry to see the new fash ions in this particular detail of the toilet are the hair dressers, who have been making fortunes out of false hair. To Clean Kid Gloves. Take a little 6weet milk and a piece of white or brown soap. Fold a clean towel three or four times, spread it over your dress and spread out the glove smoothly upon It. Take a large piece oh white flannel, dip it in the milk, then rub it upon the soap and rub the glove downward toward the fingers, holding the wrist of it by the left hand. Continue this process until the glove, if white, looks of a dingy yellow, but, if colored, looks dark and entirely spoiled. Now let it dry and then put it on your hand, and it will be soft, smooth, glossy and clean. Take care, however, to omit no part of the glove in rubbing it and see that all the soiled parts are thoroughly cleaned. This process applies only to white and colored kid gloves. For black gloves that are soiled, turned white and otherwise injured, take a teaspoonful of salad oil. drop a few drops of ink into it, and rub it all over the gloves with the tip of a feather; then let them dry in the sun. White kid boots and slippers can also be cleaned by the first process to look “as good as new,” and black kid boots and slippers can be restored to their pristine gloss by the latter method. Keeps Skirt Dry. At the ends of a yard of half-inch wide elastic, sew a large hook and eye; clasp this around the body be low the hips, and draw the skirts to any desired height under a raincoat. This is useful, especially when one must wear an evening dress in the street on a rainy night. It leaves the hands free; and certainly it is better than tearing the fabric with safety pins. The Dragon Fly Watch. The latest in watches is an enor mous dragon fly in glittering gold, studded with jewels, with a tiny watch hidden under one of the wings. This new watch is worn as a pendant, hang ing from a very narrow chain about the neck. FALL HATS FOR CHILDREN Many Varieties and Styles Are Being Offered—Charming Creation of White Cloth. Little people are likely to be care less about their clothes, and bats es pecially are teased carelessly about, and unless a hat has been held in re serve for a dignified, well-groomed home-coming, mother or nurse may be obliged to go or send to town for this accessor? . There are a great many varieties from which to select the early fail chapeau. There are hats of white doth, or heavy, corded silk, and of seeds. A charming white cloth hat has a dome-shaped crown, finished at the bottom with a pleated cloth band. About this la twisted white wool cord, ending in large wool l«alla Another style, aur* to be be coming. Is of rough white cloth, with a band of royal blue velvet, and at the side a tiny round cluster of bril liant red wool berries and green leaves. A delightful color scheme this, and every effective. A style sure to sdit the curly-haired girl Is of \ ecru corded allk, with black and cerise satin facing. A short, blunt ecru feather stands up on one side, while a row of flat buttons, made of black satin, with cerise rims, trims the other side. Witch Hazel Cream. The witch hssel cream formula given below is excellent. You will find it s good cream for cleansing. Of course fat Is the basis of all tissue-building creams.

She was only thirty-eight years old when her husband died, and aha was by no means a homely woman, and yet at the age of torty-six she was still a widow. Such things do happen in vil lages now and then. The piano man may praise a widow’s eyes, the sew ing machine man praise her hair, and the tin peddler look at her with ad miring eyes and sigh, but that may also lead to nothing. It bad led to nothing in the widow Dunham’s case. A widow or any other woman must have an offer of marriage before she can refuse It. The ttme catne. Mrs. Dunham was still hanging on to her torty-slxth year when along came Moses Krazer. living in a village six miles away. Moses would have come years sooner, but for circumstances over which he bkd no control. He had a wife, and having one, the most he could do was to sigh and wait When the wife was gathered in by the Reaper ano | a year of mourning had passed Moses j was free to call on the widow. Wheg | she looked out of the window at the ; click of the gate latch and saw him she knew his errand. Moses entered the house and talked about this and that, and it was a long time, and he had crossed and re crossed his legs many times before he got up the courage to say: "Widow, I'm alone in the world, and so are you." "Oh, but I don’t mind It.’’ was the reply. “But I thought you might. It some how isn't natural for a woman to be living alone. As the Bible says, there ought to be a man around the house.” "1 never read that In the Bible. Leastwise, I shouldn't want a man around under foot. It must be a relief to you not to have a wife mussing around." "But It ain't widow—it ain't," re plied Moses. “I’m so dinged lonesome I don't know what to do. Sarah knew I ■ — “But It Ain’t, Widow, It Ain’t.” how I’d feel about It, and on her dying bed she said I'd better get married again.’’ "Did she name any one?” “Well, no. but she might if she hadn't got short o’ breath. 1 guess the naming was to be left to me." “And have you picked the person out yet?” “I have, widow, and that’s what brought me here today. Yes, her name is Dunham, and I’m going to ask her right out if she’ll have me." “Why, Me sea Frazer!" exclaimed the woman as she threw up her bands in pretended astonishment. "You can’t be speaking to me! You can’t mean what you say!" "Every last word of It! Tm here after your heart and hand!" “My stars! But this is no way to court a woman!” “I’ll allow it’s a little sudden, but then we ain’t young folks who have got to spoon around. I thought I’d tell you how I felt, and then give you a week to make up your mind.” Widow Dunham neither encouraged nor discouraged. Moses let it go at that. He was back in a week. The widow kept him talking about hogs and pumpkins, and buckwheat as long as she could, and then said: "Moses, perhaps it’s my duty to marry you.” "1 know it is." "But if 1 do I'm going to have my way about certain things." “You shall, widow.” "We must be married in a balloon. I’m not at all romantic, but 1 want something different from just calling in the minister." "Rut' how am I going to tlx tor a balloon ?’’ he asked. “I don't know, but that’s what you’ll have to do. No balloon, no marriage." Moses went riding through all the villages for twenty miles around ask ing questions about balloons, and it was two wee^ before he returned to the widow to say: "I'm willing to ob'.eege, but we cant get no balloon here short of a thou sand dollars, and mebbe not for that. Even if we could, no preacher would go up to marry us.” "Well, Moses. 1 don't want to seem over-particular,” replied the woman after a little thought. "If we can t be married up in a balloon how about down in a coal mine?” "That might do, if I can find one." Moses went inquiring again, and by and by ascertained that the nearest coal mine was 150 miles away, and a very wet place at that. Besides, a minister told him that he wouldn’t descend into a coal mine and marry a couple for less than a hundred dollars. When the widow Dunham had been in formed of how the matter stood she replied: “1 had rather set my heart on It, but 1 have always been a woman to sacrifice. Why can't we be married in a circus ring before all the people?" "Why, 1 never heard of such a thing! We’d be almost took for a couple of camels or something! No. no." “Moses, we must be married in a circus ring or not at all.” Moses made his rounds again. It was now September, and no circus could be expected within ten miles of the village until the next summer. When he spoke to his minister about performing the ceremony the good man exclaimed: "No—never! 1 should be put on trial for doing such a thing!" “You don’t seem to be a man of much energy,” remarked the widow when she had heard his third excuse. "I guess we had better drop the mat ter." Moses begged for another chance, and after taking three days to con sider It the woman said: “Well, perhaps I'm a little too par tlcular to want balloons and coal mines and so I’ll be content with a flying machine. You can surely get one of those. I read in the papers every day of their carrying passen gers at the rate of a mile a minute Why can’t we be married at the rats of a mile a minute?" “Lands, woman, it would cost every dollar we are both worth!” groaned Moses. “And if we got a machine and went up it would be the preachet again. We couldn't hire one to go with us. Preachers ain’t taking chances. 1 don't see why we can't go to a preacher's bouse or have one come here.” “We must Icok at the sentiment ot the thing. It's for a woman to have her way about such things. Moses, is there a tall tree anywhere around here?” “Yes. there's a big elm about a mile beyond the bridge." “Can you build a platform in the top and then run ladders up?” “Lands, but do you want to be mar ried in a tree-top!” “I do. You have disappointed me about the other things, but you musn’t about this. Moses went out to survey the tree at close range, and to talk to carpen ters and the ministers. The carpen ters said it couid be done, but when the minister was approached he re plied with a shiver: “What? Climb a tree to marry a couple! You can have little respect for the cloth to propose such a thing.” The good man consented, however, t« call on the widow as a mediator, and he did call, and after arguments lasting two hours a compromise was eCected. The marriage was to take place from a platform on top of a haystack, and two weeks later it came off with the whole village as spec tators. Later on. when the bride was asked why she was so bent on the unusual she smiled and replied: “Why, 1 suppose I was put out to think I had been a widow for eight years before any man asked me to marry him!"

All Can be Made Victims *» Little Story Goes to Show That No Man "Knows It All," as the - Prophet Said. Every man can be sold, says a Journal of salesman. Not easily “sold.” necessarily Some resist. Yet even the moat obdurate of men Is "an unconscious prospect." and yields when a salesman "shoots the bullet of personal appeal from the gun of concentration." He yields still more promptly If his tormentor "cleverly combines the ethical and sales ap peal. playing up to the strict adhere ence to high ethical standards." A story Is told of a certain "pros pect" who was set upon by a life In surance agent and wheedled Into buy ing yards and yards more insurance than be could afford. Hardly had he resolved to write and cancel the agreement when a voice over the wire said. "I*ve been working mighty hard to get you through. Medical board kicked on a certain point in the ex amination report and tamed yon down cold. One of the board said he wouldn't bet $5 you would live two years I knew from your appearance and the Investigations 1 have made among your friends that the case is not quite so bad as represented. I am going to the home office tonight and fight for you. and if I succeed 111 wire. Good-by!" Naturally, the “prospect" experi enced a scare. He became simply wild to get that Insurance, no matter how little he could afford it. and vast was his relief, three days later, when the agent telegraphed. “By threaten ing to resign, have obtained presi dent's special consent to put you through." Joy filled the prospect's soul. He bound himself to pay tribute to the insurance company in the sum pro posed, and blessed his gods. Only Re cently has he learned that his exam ination report contained no flaw—in deed, pronounced him a capital risk Y*a. verily, every man can be sold. WHEN CUPID WAS OFF DUTY Lover’s Bad Cold That Led to Most Unfortunate Misunderstand ing With Girl. Sweet was the lass, low was the gas; it was the evening she expected him to put across the big question. He did not look well. Something seemed to be troubling him. He tried to say something, but the words stuck in his throat, and the girl, noticing this, turned the gas even lower. Suddenly he turned to her and cried, “I’m a dub!" "No,” she said, fondly. "You don't appreciate yourself as well as some others do. perhaps. Tee hee!” “Yes," he persisted stubbornly, "I’m a dub!” “No,” she maintained. “Yes," he almost shouted. "I'm a dub!” She was a sensible girl, and so, real izing that he ought to know best, she thanked him kindly for warning her In time and handed him bis hat. It was only after the door slammed be | hind him forever that she realized the | awful truth. He had contracted a nasty cold. I and what he had been trying to say j was, "I'm in love!” HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE “I can truthfully say Cuticura Rem ! edies have cured me of four long 1 years of eczema. About four years , ago I noticed some little pimples , coming on my little finger, and not giving it any attention, it soon became ■ worse and spread all over my bands. | If I would have them in water for a long time, they would burn like fire and large cracks would come. I could lay a pin in them. After using all the salves I could think of, I went to three different doctors, but all did me no good. The only relief I got was scratching. "So after hearing so much about the wonderful Cuticura Remedies, I pur ! chased one complete set, and after using them three days my hands were much better. Today my hands are entirely well, one set being all I used.'' (Signed) Miss Etta Narber, R. F. D. 2, Spring Lake, Michv Sept. 26, 1910.
