Thursday I have had my room repa-
pered, as I didn't like the paper I bad
chosen last year. It Is very nice to have It
changed every twelve months, and all the
furniture moved around, as It makes It
seem like an entirely different place.
It was Mollis Turner who first suggested
the idea to me. She said she couldn't stand
things looking Just the same for too long
a time. She made me help her one day
and we moved every single thing In my
bed room. It was dreadfully exhausting,
and she ruined the hat she had on by a
vase of violets that we had forgotten to
take off the top of the bookcase falling on
her head. We nearly expired moving the
bookcase, as the books made It so heavy,
and when we got It across the room we
found It wouldn't fit In between the win
dows at all, so had to move It back again.
She went with me to select the wall pa
per the other day, and we had a great
many arguments, as she wanted me to
have a paper that was covered with
wreaths of wild flowers. Fhe said It was
so sweet and girlish. I said I didn't want
my room to look that way. The salesman
began to look nervous. I persisted In get
ting what I wanted, which was a perfectly
plain tan color. Amy, who was to meet us
there, came In then, and the vetoed the
wild flowers effect Immediately. She said
It would be better to get a paper covered
with orchids or bunches of violets, so that

Etiquette Women
In many fashionable clubs for men either
one part of the building Is set aside for
the up of women or members give the
women or their families cards which per
mit the fair sex to lunch In the club at
certain hours of the day. When this cour
tesy exists It may be usually extended so
that a man may occassfunally give such a
card to a woman acquaintance. He, of
course, signs his name to the check.
Under such circumstances the etiquette
to be regarded Is strictly laid down, and a
woman who does not deserve it shows her
self either Ignorant or thoughtless.
Fur a man to give his club card is one
of the greatest courtesies he can show a
woman, for his club Is his casLle, where
comforts and luxuries prevail and the
thought that he wishes to give her the
pleasure of partaking of them shows a
mark of friendliness that should- be ac
cepted with appreciation.

An authority on shoes says that patent
leather should never be kept In a cold
closet or one unduly warm, for the reason
that both degree of heat and cold cause
the leather to crack.
Instead of these extremes a spot where
the heat Is medium should be found.
Cold is worse than heat for patent leather.
When the shoes are to be put on the feet
it will preserve them If the hand Is passed
over the shoes, smoothing them until they
feel supple.
They are then less apt to crack. This
gradual warming should never be omitted
when patent leather shoes are first put on.

Should Follow When Dining at Men's Clubs
When a woman accepts , such a courtesy
sbe must be particularly careful about ber
conduct, and it behooves her to be quiet in
manner and to do nothing contrary to the
rules of the club. - i.. .
For one thing, she miuit not pay the
luncheon check. No matter how long she
has possessed the card, she must sign the
name of her host and the slip must go on
his monthly account For a woman to
pay a lunch check at a map's club would
be enough to set thte entire organization
gossiping. If for any reason. the woman
does not wish the man to pay her check,
she may make a note of the amount and
give it to him personally. If a woman
lunches frequently at a man's club and
does not want her host to pay,, she keeps
a memorandum of the checks and remits
the s mounts to the member,, .

The Tired Business
BY WALTER A. SINCLAIR.
"I suppose the democrats will pay some
heed to the president's message ordering
us to be thankful." observed Friend Wife.
"And the republicans can be thankful
(hat It Is no worse," replied the Tired
Business Man. "Their orators hive as
sured us that If they went out of office
there would cease to be any Thanksgiving
day, that a blight would strike the tur
keys, that the good crops which make up
the rest of the meal would suddenly wither
on the stem or In the warehouse or wher
ever the withering Is best and In fact we
would be lucky if the world didn't sud
denly cease revolving the necessary six
teen dally revolutions needed to carry us
from November 8 to November 24. Ap
parently, however, the earth caught the
prevailing erase tor revolutions from the
voters.
"It was fortunate that the president
wrote his proclamation In advance of elec
tion or it might not have had so much
spontaneity and sing. Like all Thanks
giving stuff, but the actual fact. It hap
pened a month In advance. The mam
linn came out late In October as usual
with their covers representing the joyous
occasion. I was pained and surprised to
find the poor average of covers showing
the stern and rockbound Pllprlm escorting
his Pllgrlraess to church through a stage
snow drift, he toting a light, nun-rcftllnblc
blunderbuss shaped like a stovepipe and
weighing upward of a ton, the debarking
stage from which to send the shot on its
flight and a large volume with brass
clasps on it while In the background lurked
the usual Insurgent Indians, the reaction
ary of his time. I have grown so used to
this original Idee, in Thanksgiving number
covers that I can scarcely believe the
festal day Is at hand without a plenitude
of such art
"In fact, had the Thanksgiving magazine
cover minus the grim pill I mean Pilgrim
come out after election, I would feel sure
that the democratic landslide had buried
this form of industry.
"Then there lias been the regular
Thanksgiving day number story in all the
magazines of tho starving family and the
wandering boy who rushes In with a per
fectly good, cold storage turkey on the
right day, to say nothLng of the foot ball
hero always the Lowly Sub who makes
the big hit with The Glrln Thanksgiving
day by mopping up the grid with frag
ments of the mollycoddles from other col
leges. I think U would be timely to make
the Lowly Sub a democrat.
"I knew the -day was comlnsr because I
read the rood old annual newspaper story
about a depressing cost of turkey and
other side lines which help to make up our
day of thanks. Evidently the news travels
Arab - Afraid - of - a - Camera
. Reappears at Brooklyn Pier
Five young men strolled over to the
coffee docks In Brooklyn and watched the
bags of Java being hoisted from the British
freighter Errol to the great warehouses
They watched with keen Interest the little
brown Cingalese struggling with the huge
bales and cases and then went on board
and made friends with the officers ot the
Errol.
"It's a couple of years back since my
friends and I were on a ship like this,"
said one of the quintet to Mose Berkeley,
the quartermaster. "We did not have so
easy a time of it, either, for we were taken
for real pirates, and If it had not been the
year 1908 we would undoubtedly have been
made to walk the plank.
"My friend here, Winifred, would have
looked handsome festooning a yardarm,
wouldn't he? The five of us had been for
a trip to the orient gathering films for
our boss, who Is a famous lecturer. Julie
Hchem, the short one with the aristocratic
face, came over to me one day in Aden
and said: 'Jim, there's an Arab in a house
nearby who would make a fine picture for
the colonel. I tried to explain to him what
we wanted, but when he saw the camera
he became so crazed that I had to run for
my life. Let's send Dudelson over to coax
elm. Aba can talk the language.'
"So it was decided that Dudelson and
Winifred Hank Burham and I would go
to the picturesque Arab and waylay him
for a picture. Julie was to be our picket
and warn us if reinforcements came to the
subject of the sublime porte.
"We arrived at the house and tried to
explain to the Arabian gentleman that we
would fain have his picture immortalised
on the cameras that we carried and that
there was no bomb or other explosive con
cealed within the folds of our European
clothes.
"The Aiab seemed to be satisfied that we
meant no harm and left us in the dingy
court in which we had been interviewing
him. When he came back it was with two
dozen ot his fellows, several of whom held
the luckless Julie between them, having
captured our picket unawares. They they
stripped our clothes from us, gave us some
of the shrouds which the Arabs drape at
themselves, and set us adrift on a lonely
spot at a point where the Indian ocean
and the Red sea get together and where
the atmosphere Is particularly hot.
"We dilfted two days, and we were nearly
dead for the want of water, food and the
effect of the Intense heat when we
sighted a steamship. We made signs, but
