There is a little girl in Weal Knd w ho is very fond of her grandmother Grandma will celebrate her birthday In a month but Just at present she is quite ill. The little girl had made birthday present—a pin cushion— and nothing would do but she must lake It to her grandparent. After the usual greeting kissea had been exchanged, the little gtrl of fered her present. "Here, grandma, t» a birthday gift made for you myself and I hope you'll like It," she said. It's awfully pretty, dearie." said grandma, "hut you are a little pre vious, 1 ihink. My birthday Is some while off." "I know, grandma," was the reply, but I thought you might be dead when your birthday came so I brought the present over to-day.” .lust what grandma said and thought is not In evidence. Whitehall Street Crowd Didn’t Know He Was Mad. The man had a queer look on his face as he stood at the curb on Whitehall Stret and gaxed Intently up toward the top of the tat! dry goods store building His lips moved but not a sound did he make. His hands were clenched tightly. A hoy stopped to take a look. Then a man halted. Then another man. Finally a young girl atopped to gaze upward to find out what engaged the man's attention. Others stopped, too, and after a hit a crowd hau assem bled Nobody seemed to know what It was all about, but every eye was trained toward the top of the big building. Finally the man glanced down and about him, surprised at the throng which hemmed hint in. A look of be wilderment overspread his face. "What's all thts fuss?” he demand ed nf a youth standing close by. "Search me," said the one ad dressed. 'I have been wondering what you were doing.” Oh, Is that It.' sakl the strange a big smile breaking loose as he spoke, "1 was Just trying to keep my temper. You know that old saw about counting a hundred w'hen an gry" Well, 1 was doing that! Fellow last did me a mean trick and I warn ed to heat him up. Joined the church the Other night and thought I'd atop fighting, counted the hun dred too! That was a sure cure. Don't want to fight at all now.' The crowd had melted away by this time. From 300 B. C. to 1913 A. D. a Short Step in Fashions In a vision of color and a maze of designs ttiat would delight the heart of the most esthetic futurist painter and “knock the spots” out of Joseph’s coat, the newest of new summer cos tumes has reached Atlanta—the ’Futurist” suit Indeed, the famous coat of many colors fades into in significance beside this latest crea tion, which, when donned, will make My Lady i-adiate all the brilliance and warmth of an intensified rain bow. Just what the predominant color in these suits is would be hard to say. In one or two models a flume- orange, green, blue, white and yellow are the outline colors, and in others brown, gold, green, dull red, peacock blue and lavender prevail. Undeniably “Smart." And yet they are pretty. And they are undeniably smart. The many colors are blended in soft tapestry effects in a Jaunty coat which Is softened by a wide collar of heavy lace, and the skirt is of white with design of the colored tapestry effect The general futurist idea of splashing everything together for effect results well in the ratine of which the suits are made and which .lends itself well to this color scheme. The futurist suit is incomplete if hat, sunshade or shopping bag hap pen to match each other or the suit itself. Different Colors. Kverything must add a different touch of color, and in a suit where the colors run to browns and golds It is well to have a hat of flame orange, parasol of bright green and bag of white silk embroidered in blue or gold. These are the colors of the hat, sunshade and bag used in the picture, and the plumes on the hat are crossed in front, one being white and one black. All told, the effect of the futurist commends the artists’ plea that fu turist ideals bring good results, and once seen these natty costumes are PREP LEAGUE NOTES Games To-day.

Well, aw revah.” Here is Caruso's own story of how he played truant when he was a little boy, and the result: “It was in the springtime.” said Caruso, “so instead of going to school I made friends with the urchins of the streets, and played truant—hookey, you call it—for one solid month. All this time my par ents thought 1 was at my books, but one day a gossiping neighbor told them the truth, and next day when I set out, as usual, my father was spy ing, half a block behind, though I little suspected it. “You know that great, wrought- iron grille in front of the central rail way station at Naples? Well, the Idea struck me that it would be a delightful amusement to climb like a monkey, hand over hand, to the top. So up I started, agile as an ape, happy as the worthless little rascal that I was. But, alas! My father, with a stout riding whip, had follow ed, and was standing right below. He said nothing and let me climb on, un til I was too high to dare to Jump back and then, without the least warning, he gave me the thrashing of my life I couldn’t get down. I tried In vain to climb up out of reach of the lash. / It was a salutary drub bing, and I think it made me a better boy. At any rate, I followed him meekly homeward and never played truant again. • • • Here’s one told on Nat Goodwin.

By Frances Sargent Osgood. Your heart is a music-box, dearest! With exquisite tunes at command, Of melody sweetest and clearest, if tried by a delicate hand; But its workmanship, love, is so fine. At a single rude touch it would break; Then, oh! be the magic key mine, its falry-like whispers to wake. And there's one little tune it can play. That I fancy all others above— You learned it of Cupid one day— It begins with and ends with love!” "I love!” My heart echoes to it “I love!” SEEK RELATIVES OF DEAD MAN. Relatives or friends of C. A.
