Society dames ind dashing widows sighed with re lief today when they learned Rob ert Allison, fascinating social buc caneer and-, pink pajama pirate slumbers in security behind pri&u bar?. Those who hadn't fallen .victim to his wiles and kissed their family gems farewell at least were living under a menace Allison' had their 1 number, detectives alleged, in his own "who's who blue book," with all their frailties and susceptibilities listed with 'as much care and caution as a Dun or Bradstrcet private finan cial report. One entry in the Allison book says: ".Mrs. lives in the Fernwood apartment on Sheridan road. She has unlimited money. She has $20, 000 in liberty bonds, $40,000 in red estate, $40,000 in stocks and sonic steel and railroad bonds. She has three cars." Of "Mrs. , of Woodlawn ave nue," the book says: "She is very rich, very easy and very susceptible to young men." lie would have to go easy with "fs.' - of Waveland avenue." "She has money in the bank and plenty of real estate," Allison had jotted .down,' "but she is very re served and must be' handled with, care.". The dawn of another day' will re veal more victims, the detectives said! as they pored over Allison's book, containing a list of women, many of whom are of wealth and . social prominence. This list was found when, detectives crashed into Allison's luxurious- apartment and y found him lolling jn'a suit, of pink silk pajamas. A young woroimMiss Etta Scott, also is in custody. , The police are holding this social soldier of fortune while detectives compile a biography of his opera tions in various - ports. 1 Thus far they have followed the trail to prison records in Chicago, Louisville and Rahway, N.

Grannie reached for the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea. As she sipped it, she said to the twins, "Did you ever hear of the Lepre chauns? Little men they are, not half the bigness of the smallest baby you ever laid your two eyes on. " Long beards they have, and little pointed caps on the -heads of them. V ' "And it's forever making the little brogues (shoes) they are, and you can hear the tap-tap of their harjj mers before you evergct sight of, them at all. And the gold and silver and precious things they have hid den away would fill the world with treasures. ' "But they have the sharpness of the new moon, that's sharp at both ends, and no one can get their riches way from them at all. They do be saying that if you catch one in your two hands and never take your eyes off him, you can make him give up his nionev. "But they've the tricks of the world to make i'ou look the other way the Leprecnauns have. And then when you look back again, faith, they're nowhere at all! "Did Mary O'Connor catch one?" asked Eileen. , "Did she now!" cricd Grannie. "Listen to this. One day Mary O'Connor was sitting in her bit of garden, with her knitting in her hands, and she wasWatching some bees that were going to swarm. "It was a fine day in June, and the bees were humming, and the birds were chirping and hopping, and the butterflies were flying about and everything smelt as sweet and fresh as if it was the first day of the world. "Well, all of. a sudden, what did she hear among the bean-rows in the garden but a norse that went tick-tack, tick-tack, just for all the of a "Mrs. Osborne," t whose real identity is a closed book today. She met the suave buccaneer and she lost a lot of baggage, furs and several thousand dollars in gems. - Mexico's Chief Abolishes Censorship of Pictures Mexico City, July 6.

WHY?- Is the Funny Bone So Called? (Copjrlf ht. 1920, By the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) To discover the connection be tween the small bone of the arm which, when struck, produces a feel ing; of pain which is far from being amusing, and the name "funny-bone" one has to examine the anatomical terms for the bones in this section of the body. The technical name tor the "funny-bone" is the "inner condoyle of the humerus" and it is a play upon the latter word which led to the original adoption of the term "funny" as a synonym for "humerous" or mirth-producing, a very old joke of first-year medical students being "why is the. funny bone so called J' Because it borders on the humerus." . The antiquity of this pun is evi dent from a passage in the "IngoIdS by Legends." . "They have pulled you flat on your back! And they smack and they whack Till your funn.y-boncs crack As if - you were stretched or. the rack." Tomorrow Why glasses burn? do burning Cost more per tire LESS per Tnile.fj Co. Omaa, Neb. , A vi. HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations, of a Wife: "I Am Proud of You, My Dear.' There was something elusive, in definable, in my father's air which pnTe me a queer little feeling tht I would like to terminate Major Grantland's call ms soon as possible. I rose, therefore, when the men had exchanged a f?v commonplaces, and said cordially: "If you will pardon me, Major Gi'antland, I will get those pieces likf our gowns which you wish. Has Dicky told you," I turned to my father, "of Major Grantland's de lightful plan to take samples of the gowns when ordering bouquets, for the women of the wedding party?" I had purposely dragged Dicky's name in. Major Grantland struck into the conversation 4vith hurried embarrassed explanation. "I must not take credit for the plan. It is really Mr. Graham's sug gestion, kiridly made when I asked his advice 'about the wedding bou qi'ets which I wished to iurnish." My father's answer was inaudible to me, for I had left the room while Major Grantland was it'll speaking, hurried to my own and secured a piece of the gown I had planned for Leila s wedding', a figured crepe in pastel shades of pale blue and faint rose. Then I went to my mother-in-Iaw's room, to( find her standing in the middle of 'the floor, a look of stem disapproval upon her face. "Well, it's about time you - came after this," she said, holding out a piece of gray brocaded satin from one of the wonderful patterns which she had stored in her trunks for sd many years. "That younjr jack-a-napes must have worn the chair through by this time." 1 knew that her irritation was be cause of her impatience to get her sample of goods into Major Grant land's hands rather than disapproval of the length of his call, even though she dislikes him cordially. But she is exactly like a child when sh; has been promised lany gift crrleasure, on nettles until it reaches her. I has tened to offer a diversion. A Tart Rejoinder. "Father is entertaining the major," said carelessly. "Do you know, I can't help thinking how lucky you are whenever I see this goods. You' can't get quality or patterns like that nowV "Whoever imagined you could?" was her tart rejoinder. "Anybody with any sense knows there isn't a piece like this to be had anvwhere unless in the trunk o'f some old wo man who has been forehanded enough to accumulate a stock of such fr.brics in the face of ridicule from her family." Her face gleamed with grim satis faction. I don't, think 'here is any thing which gives her such glee as the fact that her hoarding of years, so ridiculous at the time, has now in the topsy-turvy days which 1iave ccme to merchants made her fabrics rare and almost priceless. But I had effectually diverted her rr.ind from Major Grantland, and I hastened out of the room before she should remember him again. My nerves were already too taut to risk any straining of them by my mother- in- law s caustic comments. Major Grantland and my father were both Standing when I again reached the living room. I guessed that the young officer meant to de part immediately, and my guess was confirmed when he took the sam ples from my hand. ' "I must ask you to excuse me now," he said perfunctorily, then with a puzzled glance at the two samples: "Would you mind telling me which of these samples is yours and which your mother-in-law's?" Conflicting Feelings. I did not dare look at my father for far I should betray my amuse ment at the question. I knew that he, experienced man of the world, must be smiling to himself at the naive sartorial ignorance of the young officer which could imagine my elderly mother-in-law garbed in the filmy, pastet-shaded fabric, or myself draped in the heavy digni fied brocade. I schooled my Voice to absolute matter-of-factness as I answered: "This is mine, I said, lightly tntirhincr the oicce of crcoe. "Thank you," he returned quietly, and then he laid the pieces carefully in a small book which he took trom his pocket and held out his hand to me. ' " "Good-by, he said abruptly, and with a nod to my father stalked out of the room. Mv father looked atter him tor a long minute, then turned back ,to me. . . .

Then common sense and the remembrance that it was my father who asked, brought a prompt and' respectful re ply from my lips.
