They should not talk In loud tones which carry conversation over the car to the annoyance or amusement, as it may be, of others. When they have been shopping they must refrain from unwrapping their purchases and looking at them, or showing them to some friend with whom they may be sitting on their way home. These are personal matters, and the car is a public place, In which it Is not proper to make an exhibi tion ef one's personal effects. HOW BILLIKENS GOT STARTED Ambitions Towns; Artist Realises Dnui Tbrouara. 8 access of Little Image. Miss Florence Prets of Kansas City Is said to have already made a small fortune by the sale of the good luck tokens known as Bllllkens. Miss Prets Is described as a young artist who before her creation of the saucy day Image had never been able to do any work with a marketable value. While all her Mttle world asknowledged her artistic ability no one would buy the fantastic Oriental drawings that she turned out. Her first lot of Bllllkens were taken to Chicago by a friend who promised to try to sell them. They met with such ready sale that the friend wrote back advising that others be made and sent as quickly as - possible. Within a month the little Images were the talk of the town and orders were coming from almost every state in the union. With the proceeds of their sale Miss Pretx was able to carry out a long cherished plan of having a studio in Chicago and being able to work under the best teachers.

What the Autumn Brings to Tempt Jaded Appetites in underwear fads as well as in clinging frock lines. Petticoats were discarded. Many a woman laid aside altogether the fas cinating flufflness of muslin and lace and went In for silk tights, which in some cases extended into union suits and did away with 'corset cover and chemise as well as with muslin drawers and petticoats. French designers and makers of fine lin gerie were for a time in despair, but the cloud passed. The majority of womankmd never went further In lingerie abnegation than to leave off fu 1 chemises and petti coats, and now even the petticoats are froufroulng back Into favor and the day of the tights is waning if not altogether past. B'it the new lingerie still shows the ef fects of ruthless suppression. It has lost none of its prettlness, but It Is no longer aggressive, and it has gained amasingly In shapeliness. -x Saaday Dinner Mean. Cream of Squash Soup. Frlde Chicken. Boiled Rice.

Mrs. Frederick Nathan, president of tfal Consumer's league of New York City, gave the second lecture In the course recently Instituted In Columbia university by the Equal Franchise league. Mrs. Nathan's subject was "The Ballot and the Working Woman.' She appeared to be of the opinion that working women aa a class would vote more Intelligently than many of those who say much about the danger of the Ignorant vote. "The Idea of the Ignorant vote varies with the point of view," declared Mrs. Nathan. "I once heard of a werktng girl discussing the suffrage question, and she, too, was afraid of the Ignorant vote. Bhe looked for it, however. In a different quar ter from that from wnlch many people expect It to come. She said she was sure the working woman would vote Intelli gently, but she wasn't at all sure about those Ignorant fashionable women." Ninon Scarf.

What women lose an4 leave in a theater is a, subject one might write volumes about If hO-evtred, and If the papers would print It all; s as things are, one can but touch Ugh?? on this really interesting topic. These observations have been called forth by the unearthlngs In the Majestic theater, Milwaukee, In the last fsw daya Through out the house the carpets have been taken up to be replaced by new ones for the opening of the new vaudeville season on Monday afternoon, and the articles found hidden under the old floor coverings now fill a large receptacle in tha basement.

All told, there are said to have been It 437 sep arate and Individual wads of jaw exercise scraped from various places In the theater. And, of course, most of these were left by women. There Is absolutely no question about that, say the attaches of the house, who observe patrons and their ways very olosely. But under the carpets was where the big finds were made. All sorts of things had been scraped and kicked and swept along; the floor until they lodged under the car pets, and there they remained until the floor coverings were removed.
