APPARENTLY insignificant details
of costume are sadly neglected by
many professed followers of elusive
Dame Fashion. But Dame Fashion can
not allow a beautiful garment to cloak
an unbecoming frock nor lessen the
ill-effect of other details. For that rea
son this season heed Is being paid ta
smaller things.
The novelty shops and counters are
full of little vanities which delight
every woman. Tne vanity cases of the
season seem much more attractive than
before. There are silk and ribbon bags,
collars, novelty pins and trinkets.
Some of the quaintest little brooches,
with near-gems that are obscure enough
to seem real, are among the new nov
elties. The vanity bags are becoming
more and more adapted for being
tucked out of sight, but are not a bit
less pretty. The small silver and enam
eled ones on a short chain are greatly
used.
The ribbon or silk bag has a wide
variety of uses. Some have little tas
sels dangling from freaky corners.
Others are on rings that draw up with
bright ribbons. Many are extremely
like the ones carried by belles in the
days when mits and crinoline began
their reign. Cretonne made in novelty
bags, though it has been done before.
Is called new today. The flowered cre
tonne bag is in tone with many colors
and serviceable and pretty.
For a long time cords have been
used In petticoats, but only recently
was feather-boning adopted to make
rippling silk petticoats seem still wider.
The feather-boning is used sparingly
and rescues the wearer from the burden
of several skirts. A light feather-boning
is run along the very bottom of a
silk skirt and the effect is surprising.
Only yesterday some cretonn,e hats
made their appearance "in a hatter's
window. They are very attractive and
right in the trend of fashion, for the
brims are wide and sloping and the
crowns novel.- On one the striking de
sign is a bright bird, on another a vivid
flower, and on still others bunches of
attractive fruits. Scenery on others
gives the effect of old tapestry.

ENCOURAGING reports from the dif
ferent departments of Y. W. C. A.

through the employment department;

Benny Bnnn'a Battle.
BENNY BROWN sat on the bank of
the river down tn Georgia fishing.
Benny was sleepy, for the sun shone
warmly on the water, but the howl of
animals back in the forests kept him
awake for it was more than 100 years
ago that Benny lived, and he was a lad
right in the midst of the excitement of
the Revolutionary War.
So as his cork bobbed, his head nod
ded. Then suddenly he sat up and
gazed in wonder, for around the bend
in the river came four stately ships
of war. On board he could see big
guns peeping over the side and men
in blue with swords dangling about
their knees.
"The British sloops," he cried in as
tonishment, "going up the river and
all the American troops away. Father
will be back at dawn from the Army,
but what good will that do?" And
poor Benny set up a shout that was
soon answered by three other Ameri
can boys who had been fishing farther
down the stream.
"There are no men at home now,"
explained Benny, when his comrades
had gathered about. "But some are
due tomorrow, for my fathc- gets home
early in the day. It is up to us, boys,
to keep that fleet can we do it?"
There were Bob, Fred and Harold,
besides himself, making four in all.
So Ben sat still with his head in his
hands, while the other boys watched
the ships sailing toward them. Pres
ently the little fleet dropped anchor
and came to rest about a quarter of a
mile off shore.
"I have it," exclaimed Benny, start
ing to his feet, "we can fool those
English and capture ' their ships all
by ourselves if you fellows will just
follow me." Then he explained what

they were to do. Harold knew all the
Army bugle calls and had an instru
ment with which he could send the
notes trembling far over the river so
he ran home for it, while Benny ex
plained the plan to the others. Fred
t , an exnert at drumming and hap
pened to have brought his best one
along.
"My plan Is this." said Benny. "We
must make the British believe that the
American troops have Just arrived, but
the best plan will be not to do the
work till after sunset. Then we can
manage it easily. Now all of us get
to work and build big bonfires on all of
the eight hills in sight. That will keep
us busy till supper, and after you fel
lows have had supper come here a3
quickly as you can. That captain will
think we have 10.000 troops here and
father can make him surrender."
So all the hot afternoon the four boys
worked like beavers dragging brush
and dead planks to the top of the hills
till each one was crowned with a huge
pile of brush. The English ships lay
still in the bend of the river and did
not notice anything unusual going on
around them.
But as'soon as darkness crept over
the land big bonfires began to pop out.
First one, then another blazed forth
till every hill was a beacon light. Then
Benny had Harold walk along the mea
dow sounding his bugle as if calling
troops to camp, while Fred on another
lowland beat his drum loudly as if he
also were carrying orders to soldiers.
All night there were to be heard the
shrill calls of a bugle and the stately
roll of a drum echoing from the hills.
When dawn drew near Benny ran
home to greet his father, who had just
arrived. In a few excited words he
told his story.
"Write a note to that British cap
tain demanding his surrender, telling
him it is useless to delay, that the
American troops " are on all sides,"
cried the boy. "Then take it out your
self under a flag of truce."
Within half an hour this was done,
and by the time the first rays of the
sun dipped on the water the English
Captain, believing he was in the hands
of the enemy, surrendered to Benny's
father. And a very much ashamed
crew were ths British sailors when
they, marched ashore to see that four
American boys had captured their en
tire fleet.

JUDGE AIDS. INJURED MAN
Applicant, Witli Broken Leg, Is Sent
to County Hospital.'
A broken leg, especially when one Is
without funds, is somewhat of a prob
lem. William Jordan solved it by ap
plying to Municipal Judge Langguth.
"I want to be sent to jail so I can
have treatment," he told the court.
T thought he could get as good treat
ment, without vicious companionship,
if he was sent to the County Farm's
hospital." commented Judge Langguth,
