TOOK HIS BREATH AWAY.
It was a chemistry class and the
aged professor, who was anything but
a light drinker, was doing a stock ex-
periment, which consisted of blowing
vigorously upon some blue crystals,
whereupon they turned yellow.
When he had finished he asked the
class if they had any questions to
ask.
"Yes, sir," came a voice from the
hack of the room. "Will anybody's
breath do that?"—Judge.

If clothcB could spoak the slip-over
dross might truthfully boost: "I enmo,
1 saw, I conquered," for It made o
completo triumph last summer. It
was a long step In the direction of
comfort for wenr In warm weather.
And now enters Its near-of-lcln In
suits, (raveling In tho sjimo direction.
This now arrival Is a two-piece affair
In which a sleeveless coat Is worn
with a skirt to match and a blouse,
usually of crepe or other silk, made
In ono with the skirt. The dress Is
complete In Itself apd can be worn
without the coat. But some women
object to going coal less on the streets,
and this suit fits their needs. The
model pictured Is of polret twill with
beige-colored blouse of creptf de chine.
Silk embroidery In navy and beige fin-
ishes the edges of the coat and adorns
the narrow cuffs.
Getting Down to Realities.
"Father, speaking to you as an ex-

of four years on the gridiron—"
"We are not using quarterbacks In
this business," Interrupted the self-
made man. "If you can talk to me as
a clerk who Is ambitious to work his
way up to a position of responsibility
without any applause from the grand-
stand, I'll listen."
