Student of Human Nature Gives Rea
son for Woman’s Desire to Be
Seated While Talking.
“There’s nothing I enjoy more than
searching for people’s motives,’* re
marked the student of human nature.
I like to know what actuates them to
do certain things at cetain times.”
Just so. Maybe you can tell me
something I have been wanting to
know for a long time.”
“What is it?”
“Why is it that a woman hates to
use a telephone unless Bhe can sit
down?”
“Because when she calls up another
woman she never knows how long
she’s going to be there.”
Those Loving Girls.
Aimee—Mr. Willing asked me to ac
company him to the opera tomorrow
evening.
Hazel—And you accepted?
Aimee—Certainly.
Hazel—Strange. He asked me,
also.
Aimee—Oh, there’s nothing strange
about it at all. I told him I wouldn’t
gc* unless he provided an elderly
chaperon.
Inconsistent.
“The trouble about shows intended
to please the tired business man is
that they have a tendency to displease
his wife.”
“So I’ve noticed. And it ipn’t quite
fair to the tired business mdn."
“Perhaps not.”
“His wife may spend the afternoon
worshiping a matinee idol and yet she
objects if he casts an approving eye
on a beauty chorus In the evening.”
Not Interested.
“My life is an open book,” said the
candidate, who had been discussing
at some length his qualifications for
ofiice.
“So far as I’m concerned, It’s in the
same class with a volume of polemical
essays," said the impatient listener.
"How is that?”
“Whether opened or closed. It’s
book I haven’t the slightest desire to
peruse.”

NEVER THOUGHT OF FATHER
Inconsiderate Youth Insisted on Wear
ing His Trousers Too All-Fired
High at Ankles.
“What’s the idea?" asked the store
keeper as Farmer Corntossel closed
the door carefully and edged over to
the stove.
“The Idea of what?”
“Of those clothes? That little hat
and the sport shirt and white socks?”
“Them used to be my boy Josh’s.
He’s got to have new ones an’ my
wife says these are too good to
throw away. I don’t mind the hat
ner the shirt, cos I kin let my hair
an’ whiskers grow. But Josh ’ud be
a heap more of a comfort to his fa
ther in cold weather if he wouldn’t In
sist on wearin’ his trousers so high at
the ankles.”
Caused Trouble.
. “I understand young Mrs. Frisber
found a letter from another woman in
Mr. Frisber’s pocket”
“That’s awkward.”
“But it was from Mr. Frisber’s
mother.”
“In that case, I presume everything
is lovely.”
“Indeed, no. What the old lady
had to say about Mrs. Frisber has
kept poor Frisber in hot water for a
week.”
Both Stumped.
“What was Professor Diggs talking
to you about?"
“Oh, replied Mr. Dubson, “he was
discussing Egyptology.”
“Hum. Airing his knowledge of a
subject about which, I dare say, you
know nothing.”
“Exactly. But I got even with him.”
“Yes?”
“I began to expatiate on the merits
of the latest musical comedy."

“This car of yours seems to give
you great pleasure.”
“Yes. I often wonder how I ever
got along without it,” answered the
motorist, loftily. “Walking tires me
dreadfully and is—er—somewhat
plebeian.”
'Pardon me for reminding you of
the painful past, but I happen to know
that you used to cover considerable
territory as a mere pedestrian."
New Boarder—I’ll take some of the
white meat and a bit of the dark,
too.
Landlady—You’ll take all kinds—
this Is chicken hash.
Interested.
“Any political excitement in town
these days?” asked the visitor.
“About 27 prominent citizens seem
to be considerably excited, but every
body else is calm and peaceful." re
plied the old resident
“Why are the 27 prominent citizens
so excited?”
“They are candidates for office.”
As He Understood It
“Did you read that article in yester
day’s paper headed ‘A Roman Lic-
tor?’” asked Brown of bis friend
Green.
“No,” replied Green, whose historic
knowledge is limited. “I never read
such nonsense. 1 suppose, however,
the woman in the case deserved a
licking br the Roman wouldn’t have
licked her. Did she have him ar
rested?” '
She—But people used to say he was
ill-bred and vulgar.
He—But he’s inherited a million, and
they only call him eccentric now.
- Tactful.
“I don’t believe you have any sense
of humor at all,” said the man who
makes obvious efforts to be cheerful.
“I don’t see how you can say such
a thing,’’ exclaimed his wife, re
proachfully.
“When I tell you a funny story you
never laugh.”
“That's because 1 appreciate the
story so much. 1 don’t laugh because
I’m paying close attention and try
ing to learn it by heart”
There Will Be Difference of Opinion as
to the Advisability of the Change,
but It Seems Sure
to Come.
The great majority of women are
too restless and uncertain to let one
costume follow in the footsteps of
another and no dressmaker is suffi
ciently persuasive to make them see
the advantage of this course, but
the fact that it has succeeded should
be a lesson to those who indulge in
too much restlessness and who allow
themselves too free a fancy in the
field of costumery; all of which la
not very far away from the subject
of wardrobe efficiency, because it deals
with the problem of bow to save
money and vitality.
There is no reason to discard a full
tunic over a moderately narrow skirt
this season, simply because you
owned one last season; if it was not
becoming, then there is an excellent
reason for never getting it again;
but if it was satisfactory, there la
every reason to repeat it when the
new fashions offer a chance.
It is not possible to put a finger
definitely on any certain assortment
of clothes from a leading house and
say that it shows a tendency toward
longer skirts, but there is a strong
feeling in the air that the movement
is to this end. The cables froo. Paris
regarding the actual gowns that
smart women are wearing tell of the
lengthening of street skirts by at
least three inches; Instead of escan-
ing the boot top, they escape _
ankle. Both Jenny and Cheruit hav
lent themselves to this change. Then
are few women who can produce
new fashion through their explol
tlon of It In Paris today, but-ix^
can fail to find significance in
fact that the, leading houseq and
leading women have joined In a new
movement • ? 1
In this country two notable houses
have put out skirts that touch the
floor, hut they are not attractive;
Overdoing It.
“I wish I were as active as a flea,”
remarked the whimsical man.
“Why so?” inquired his practical
friend.
“Think how easy it would be for
me to jump out of the way of automo
biles.’
“Umph! If you were as active as
a flea, in proportion to your size, when
you jumped you would be apt to land
on top of a skyscraper.”
Preparedness.
“What's your idea of preparedness?”
“Well,” replied Broncho Bob, “if
you’re havin’ an argument with a
man who keeps the same sort o' com
pany you do, an’ speaks the same kind
o’ language, all you need is patient
reasoning and an’ honest desire fur a
square deaL But if it’s an old-fash
ioned Injun full o’ firewater, it’s as
well to let him get a glimpse of a six-
shooter, jes* to steady his nerves.”
Trouble In Store.
“If women ever get control of this
country, what will happen?” asked
the alarmist
“Who can say?” replied the cynic.
“But suppose we had women in the
army?”
“If that ever comes to pass there
will be the deuce to pay the first time
a female private has an argument with
an army mule.”

their fullness makes them ungainly
and even if they are to be used lrALe'
evening and not on the street, they
cannot be effectively handled. The
apoBtles of this new fashion insist
that the women of another day con- .
trived to be graceful In them, so that
we should find It an easy matter.
But are we sure that our ancestors
were graceful in such skirts? That
may be one of the traditions, along
with a lot of others, that we would
prefer to accept In theory than to re
fute in practice.
As for this long, full skirt, it may
be left to the future. It Its news
value at present, because its sponsors
are important designers, and what
ever they do is followed up by somet
If not many, fashionable women.
There are many who think that It Is
a difficult thing to choose between a
very long* full skirt and a very
short full skirt, but It seems to me
that the latter la by far the better.
Even in dancing, it is more graceful,
and if the new fashion for wearing
hlgh-laced boots of brocade or satin
In the evening prevails, the shortness
of the skirt will be attractively offset
