I anl moved to wonder what would have happened if there had been a Bathtub trust In that distant day Celebrated In those Immortal Itheg: ' " 'Rub-a-dub dub! Three men In a tub.'

What would have been the result if some patriotic American trust had re stricted the number of tubs King Alfonso's gallant sailors had? "That Is merely to Illustrate one phase of the evil a bathtub trust could work.

The common -people cry for tubs sometimes to take their Milwaukee fame In. and again, when the bitter winter Masts blow, to re tain the family coal.

That would be a reform devoutly to be wished for. How ecr. cheer up. I'm glad that the bathtub combine haa been brought to the bar." "Bar of Justice?" asked Friend Wife, providing the correct cue.

When he was Unn, iu liMS, Ills fattier was cliupel matter 'to the duke of Baixbiug. AlmoHt befnie he was out of his ciaille the little Wolfgantf displayed the niUHical gifts. Be fore 'he could walk he expressed his dis comfort when loud or discordant music was piayed lu his bearing. At four years Of age lie could play both the violin -and harpsichord, and at the age of live he ofle ed to play the violin at a rhjtniber concert.

The by had been' toKl beforehand that he must kneel before the j:nipiesa. but as he ap proached lier, evidumly charmed by her Ix-auly . and kindness, he entirely forgot his lesson and. Instead of kneeling. liimUed upon her knee, put his arms about Jner neck and kissed her.

W'B WERE GOING TO AGNES' DANCbi happened when we were children. That time I gave my clothes to Rosy Kinney and they had to get a blanket to take me home in. Oh, goodness! Piggy remembers all kinds of awful things. He asked me right In front of Mr. Hollens the other day U I recollected his trying to kiss me at Kitty Stewart's party, and of how I broke an tea cream plate over Johnnie's head In the fight that followed Instead of on his as I was trying to do. I was mortified; it sounded so Tomboy- isli. Johnnie said: "You had on a lace dress, trimmed with blue ribbons, and you looked such a sweet little thing." I beamed on Johnnie. Piggy said: "Did they ever find it where you took it off and left It In the apple orchard after you had fallen In the pigpen T" I was dreadfully irritated. I said: "I thought I'd seen you. Piggy, dear, and was trying to Join you." If he Is going to bring up my past like that all the time It's going to be most annoying. I' was very cold to him after that, and he soon dragged Johnnie off. Cousin .Anne was giving a dinner for me that night and we were going to Agnes' dance after ward. They were coming back at 8 o'clock. and I wondered If there wasn't a way of getting out of dancing the cotillon wltn Piggy and giving It to Mr. Houens. i finally told Mr. Holleris . that I would dance It with him, anyway. He said "What excuse will you give our friend Pig?" I said: "None. ' 111 Just say I pre' ferred you. That's so simple." And ft was. At dinner I told Piggy about it. He said: "Well, I'll be -! Do you mean to say you are going to throw me over like that?" I said, "Yes.". He looked as though he couldn't think of anything to say. I said: '"I'd rather dance it with Mr. Hollens." Pig was furious, and looked so funny I had to laugh. He said: "Really, you and Hollens seem to hit It off remarkably well. I suppose you know he's married." I said: "Yes, but we forget that when we are together." Piggy said: "Well upon my word." He positively wheezed over It. Later on Mr. Hollens and I sat out a dance or two, and I told him how much I liked him. . I asked him if his wife looked any different when he first married her. He said she did a little. I said: "I rather wish you were not mar ried." He said sometimes he wished that, too. I told him that as long as be was I was afraid I couldn't see him as often. I bald I wanted to dance the cotillon with him to tell him about it. I said the only man I could care about was my husband, and that although I hadn't met him yet I was very, very fond of him, and that I considered I was married to him Just the same, and naturally I didn't want to do anything he wouldn't approve of and I 4 vi.r w i A. jf 1- a F3 JUfT-OBTfllRL1 Br" M.F fame airi Address.

"Well, you debutantes beat mi." But he was awfully nice, and I didn't dance with Mr. Hollens again. He asked me ever so many times, too. It must have been a quaint scene, the tiny little German girl In her quaint gown, modelled after that of her elders, and the tiny boy dressed in the count fashion of the day, with knee breeches, a shimmer ing satin coat, stockings of silk, lace ruffles at his wrists, a wig on his head, and at his side a tiny sword. The em peror patted him 'on the head. "You are a little magician." said his Imperial high ness. After the concert the two Mozart chil dren were allowed to play with the young princesses. The young Mozart, even at that tender age. was charmed with the pretty Maile Antoinette, who was destined for a tragic end. In their games he slipped and fell on the polished floor. She picked him up, and the little prodigy exclaimed In his gratitude, "You are very good. Some day 1 will marry you." There are stories of the child's preco clousncss. For Instance, when they left Hchonbrunn their father took the children on a long concert tour which Included fans and London. At Versailles, where they played before the French court, and Wolfgang's remarkable variations had amazed his listeners, Mme. Pompadour is said to have refused to kiss the child. Mozart was astonished. ' and remarked, "Who Is this? Have I not been kissed by a queen?"

NEW YORK, Jan. 4 With the passing of the midwinter holidays comes the first hint of spring styles. There Is, perhaps, no question of greater Import than that LION STORT. w n 'Did you ecjoy yourself fa Venice? Rather! See the Lion of St Mark? Sure aw him ied" Iff j ' it M i there Is every indication that the vogue of transparencies will not decrease. Mar quisettes, chiffons, moussollnes, laoes and net will continue to be. Introduced ' In cos tumes designed for ssmi-formal and formal wear. Home of these.'transpnrent' fabrics will be seen in figured and striped devel opments and some will Introduce border effects in conventional, Persian and floral designs. ., . Lately there haa been a marked Indica tion of the popularity of striped fabrics. This Indication haa been empbaslxed In the costumes seen In New York durintr the last few weeks and also at many of the holiday house parties. Perhaps no more attractive lllutratlon of the possibili ties that lie In the use of striped materials has been seen than that- shown In the Illustration In this article. This costume was worn at a New fork holiday musicals given last week. It was made of navy blue and white striped silk, The waist hsd a large sailor collar fashioned from white satin and edged with a wide band of navy blue panne velvet. Iri the front this collar hung In graceful folds simulating the revers of the dlrectolre ' period. These draped collars and revers comprise a very Important note In the latest styles. A welcome deviation from . a widely used feature was offered In the sleeves of this little bodice. They were not cut In one with the waist, and this fact alone made the costume stand out prominently. There Is no denying the hold which the peasant blouse development has taken on the pop ular fancy one rarely sees any other sleeve development -nowadays. In the center front opening of the bodice pictured there was a soft - vest of shirred chiffon, and slightly above the waist line there was an extension on the wrist which overlapped the chiffon front. Ths-sklrt wss circular and at knee depth had a shaped trimming band of the white satin edged with folds of the blue velvet. Small blue velvet buttons simulated a center front opening from the girdle to the trim ming band. The crush girdle was of the white satin and either side was edged with a narrow fold of the velvet: It was so arranged that the raised waistline was very effectively simulated. r Of Interest to Women J concerning materials. The fall and winter seasons have witnessed a return to popu larity of brocade stuffs, satin and the heavier silks, besides the introduction of tapestry Into the list of costume fabrics The reason some women fall 1n ironing a shirt Is because It has not been folded iroperly after starching. Even an amateur laundress knows that raw starch is used for starching a shirt, also that the starch Is not allowed to become dry. -and to pre vent starched parts from Coming In contact with those unstarched the shirt should be laid flat on a table, front uppermost. but-what will be the favored fabric of ' th ' "-'fs and lay one on each side early spring? The question has been an swered In the forecast of spring styles fur nished by the arbiters of fashion, and we are assured that their word is final au thority. There will be no especially fa vored material. lirocade and tapemry. be cause of their weight and texture, will be used less In spring than during the colder months, but satin, it seems, feill continue. In popularity. The soft mescaline satin Is particularly suitable for the fashioning of spring frocks; It is so sheer and drapes so gracefully that one involuntarily associates it with the thought of spring. When the discussion turns to clothes of lighter weight the soft woolen fabrics naturally suggest themselves, although such materials are nowadays used for afternoon costumes throughout the entire winter season. Challle, cashmera, hen rletta, voile, albatross, lansdowne and the softer brllliantlnes will be the woolen fabrics most used. As figures and stripes promise to be very popular, challle will perhaps, be used more than any of the woolen materials mentioned. The striped and figured silks will be widely used arid of the front. Turn the neckband down to the front a.iv Then fold lengthwise so that one el.arviid front lies over the other and thy fcr.rt.;n.rm seams meet. Fold again Into a lunf, Mp.
