"Heavies" cannot be Worn under neath the new tight sleeves. Every woman knows this, and at least one man. He is a judge, too. Not only a judge, of women s clothing, but on law breakers. - Mrs. Millie Plush staged a "liv- ' ing model show" in an effort to dis count the ability as a dressmaker of Mrs. Marv Weinstock for the benefit of Magistrate Olin T. Pan coast, in the magistrate's office. ' Mrs. Plush declared the dress which Mrs. VVeinstock had made for her did not fit and she wanted her money back. "Why, Judge, look how tight these sleeves are. I cannot bend my arm." said Mrs. Plush, as she exhibited the contour of a plump ;rm. Magistrate Pancost blushed and stammered slightly and ner vously whispered to Mrs. Plush that the sleeves of her ahem er'r that which she wore underneath were too thick. He told Mrs. Plush that if she wanted the new dress to fit her perfectly she should dress differently "beneath." The modern Solomon decided that Joth defendant and plaintiff were somewhat 'at fault and divided the costs between them. BRINGING UP FATHER- S Jigf and Maggi in Full Pag of Color ia Th Sunder Pes.

Well, here he is, and the way he tries to be bad and just can't will make you roar and hold your sides with laughs. The Way the Motor Party Started Off. I was watching Alfred Durkeii closely during his exchange of rail lery with Rita Brown. I saw him look at the girl curi ously as she made the coquettish re quest to sit with him in the front seat of the new touring car and help drive. Then as if involuntarily drawn aside, I saw his eyes travel quickly from her uplifted face to that of Leila Fairfax, who was standing with her hand upon the car, gazing at it with shy admiration. Dicky, who had come across the lawn at a tearing pace,' forestalled whatever answer Alfred meant to make by a breathless announcement. "I've fixed everything. Katie says the Mater left strict orders not to be disturbed when she went to sleep, and she's still sleeping. I told our 'blessed damozel' to tell her we'd been summoned away nothing more. I'll break the news of the car when we get back. And now let's beat it before our news wakes her." "Well, if that horn didn't rouse her, nothing less than a 'Big Bertha' will!" Alfred Durkee turned to Dicky with a trifle too obvious care lessness. "Want to drive, old man?" "Nothing doing," Dicky declared. "I drove it out. That's enough for one day. Get right into the front seat, but remember to get down, touch your cap and throw open the door when we stop anywhere." "Indeed, Alf shan't do anything of the kind," Rita Brown purred with an exaggerated air of protection. "I'm going to sit right beside him, and you can just do all the climb ing in and out that's going yourself, Dicky-bird." Rita Is Displaced. "I've got a better scheme than that," Alfred Durkee declared, and I noticed that he was careful not to look at Rita Brown as he spoke. "You can't suppress the Dicky-bird successfully unless you sit near him. It will take both you and Mrs. Madge to put him in his place. And I need a tranquil person next to me say Lelia, for instance. You have earned a rich reward, Rita says, by your devotion to the strawberry jam. What more could a girl ask?" He threw open the door of the car as he spoke, put his hand lightly on Leila's arm and ushered her into the coveted front seat with an irresist ible air of self-gratulation and con ceit which set us all laughing. But two women held beneath their mer- AMrsrMKNTS ANNE LUTHER AND IN THE GREATEST "STUNT" CHAS.

Leila Fairfax's fair, sensitive face was flushed with embarrassment, which, however, I shrewdly guessed was strongly imbued with pleasure, and her eyes were starry as she took her seat. There was no flush on Rita Brown's face. With wonderful self control her laugh rang out merrily and her eyes held surface gayely. But her natural pallor deepened, and I, watching her closely, saw the fin gers of the hand hanging loosely against her skirt clench swiftly, fiercely into the palm. "I hope you'll be properly appre ciative, Leila," she said lightly, then mounted quickly to the tonneau, scorning Dicky's assisting hand. Dicky Winks. "I only hope we'll all get back alive. This cheering remark was her next contribution to the conver sation after Edith Fairfax, Dicky and I had joined her in the ton neau. "I didn't know you boys had ever driven. Tell the truth how many times have you had this thing out before now?" She had addressed her remark to both men, turning her. head toward Alfred Durkee a trifle as she spoke. But he either didn't hear her or pre tended not to, keeping on with a long-winded dissertation upon the car's merits addressed to Leila Fair fax. Dicky, however, promptly took up the gage. "We've been trotting this thing around for two weeks steady," he declared. "And we've put it through hoops, made it play 'dead,' and all the other tricks. It eats out of both our hands now. All we have to do is to snap our fingers and it stands up on its hind legs, makes a bow and turns a somersault." "I don't doubt your ability to make it do that last little trick," Rita retorted disagreeably. "Oh, by the way, Alf" She turned to him with as brilliant a smile as if he hadn't so greatly affronted her but a few minutes be fore. "Yes, m'lady. At your service," but he did not take his eyes, from the road in front. "I have to telephone to New York in the next half hour or so. I meant to do it at the house, but this un expected trip put it out of my mind. Will you lend me a quarter and stop at the next drug store?" "Surest thing you know," Alfred returned cheerily, and Rita turned back to us again, but not until I had seen Dicky's left eyelid descend upon his cheek in another long, significant wink to me. Evidently Dicky read something into Rita's decision to telephone which I had not yet fathomed. (Continued Tomorrow.)

LJi Presents CHARLES RAY in "HAY FOOT STRAW FOOT" Compares Grand Opera in Berlin to Picnic: Lunches Between Acts Berlin (By Mail.) A night at the Berlin opera is a picnic, in the literal sense. In fact, it is like camping out. The interesting part of the former royal opera now is the audience it differs so materially from the pom pous gatherings that filled the build ing when Wilhelm was ruler of Germany. The revolution has set its mark -also on Berlin's opera de votees. The glittering, gold braided ' uni forms of the imperial era have dis appeared. So have dress suits and ven tuxedos. There is an occasion al plain grey uniform. The rest are common sack suits of cuts and shades that for the most part date back to the pre-war period. The spirit of the audience is as flat as the singing on the stage. In pre-revolution 'times sumptu ous supper parties were inevitable opera sequels. Now the Berlin op eragoers take their suppers between acts. Everybody brings a package of "stuellen," as they call sand wiches, to the opera. And during the ten or fifteen minutes intervals between acts the vestibule and cor ridors remind one strikingly of an American Sunday excursion party. Everybody without exception is munching sandwiches black, un buffered war bread, with goat sau sage or choice cuts of rabbit steak. To make the picture complete Robert Minor, American bolshevist. appeared in one of the most expen sive box seats wearing a blue coat, khaki shirt, corduroy riding breech es and leggings. "It's the only suit I've got," ex plained Minor. Topeka Escorts I. W. W. Topeka, Kan. I. W. W. walk ing delegates do not linger long here. Not if United States Marshal ' C. Jackson sees them.

Defending : his policy towards China during his premiership, Marquis Okuma, has made a statement that it was never his intention to try to make a pro tectorate out of China. He declared that the movement of Yuan Shi-Kai to make himself emperor of China owed much to the instigation of Germany and if Yuan's ambition had been attained and he had been proclaimed em peror it was more than probable that China would have been brought under the complete away of Ger many. At that time Japan tendered advice to President Yuan, and France and Great Britain took the same view as Japan did, endeavor ing to check the realization of Ger many's designs.

THE EROTIC MOTIVE IN LITERATURE. By Albert Mordell. Bonl & Liverlght. $1.75. "This work is an endeavor to ap ply some ot the methods of psycho analysis to literature.

"In studying literature thus," says the author, 1 aim to trace a writer s books to the outward and inner events of his life and to reveal his unconscious, or that part of his psychic life of which he js unaware.
