Other little girls live In the neighbor hood, also, but tho girl who plays with the boys never seems to see them. In the wlnterThetJlrl Run Wild wears a sombrero, a big white 'sweater and high boots; In the summer jshe affects boys' shirts and a slouch hat of felt She Is picturesque, daring. She ridicules little irirla who wear soft ribbons In their hair, sashes of gauze and dresses of pink and white. She Is seldom at home. The Olrl Run Wild. She haunts the street. During football season, she Is a member of the team. She Is usually the center rush. It la a boys' team; she tne only girl. She rolls and dives In the mud and slush with the boys, Sha goes Into the scrimmage like a boy. When baseball days are at hand, she Is often est at the bat. Every night after school the "gang" gathers. The girl is the leader. The boys defer to her. When a big thing Is to be "pulled off" she plans It. The boys with whom The Girl Run Wild plays are not soft-voiced, colorless lads. They are rough and tumble boys, every Inch of them. It Is the girl that belles her name. It Is tha girl that Is the challenge to her sex. Of course, she is a strong, healthy girL..-.. Her outdoor life Is building a splendid physical machine; She is well set uptall and straight, with a free, easy swing to her body. There ts a world of strength In hfr stride; the muscles of her arm are little rails of steel. She has a heavy voice with harsh, shrill notes In It. In ruggedness, She IS a lesson. "Oh. she is a lot of fun; we all like Dick. (The name her mother gave her Is Prudence.) But J wouldn't want my sister to b like herl" The speaker was a lad of 12,1 but ha had the man-giai of, things, Tho Girl Run Wild Is 14. Soon sortatr will J require that -aha- c- all shrill cries, Confusing and benumbing con vention will taunt and torment her. Alt will be chaos. To be suddenly required to adjust; herself to new and Strang behavior will be gall and wormwood to, ' The Girl Run Wild. Laughing, reckless, her spirit will revolt at society's de. crees. Again will aha play with the boy. Again will sha be the center of thing rowdy. Again will the turn all ruU of maidenly conduct upaldo down. ;, She will be daring, picturesque. Her con duct will be squared by tho man' code. She will have a man crowd about her. And again there will come from It midst that old refrain: "Oh, she la lots of fun; a Jolly good follow, but I wouldn't want ray sister to be Ilka ; her." When a man draws a fins line between his sister and another girl, It weigh heavily against the outsider. It doe not augur well for the latter end Of things when a girl Is allowed to scorn her sisters and indulge In all the game -of boys. For there 1-a, limit to tha lengths she can go. And when that limit Is reached It Is hard on the girl, very hard. Girls "who roam men lose caste. Girls Run Wild ara often lost In Outcast Land. That upbringing that assail futurs modesty and refinement In women 1 to be deplored. A false start has ruined; many a promising filly. It Is well that girls have outdoor life and Invigorating exercise, but it Is important that they; "acquire and beget a temperance" that may give them balance. Oh! Wonderful world! American beauties and a note In his handwriting. "UNWRITTEN LAW" PLEAD OF SED Slayer of Boyces Urges Justi fication for Shooting De spoiler of Home.

N THIS between season the tailored suit returns to its own, for there are many occasions during September and October when even the tailored dress of worsted is not sufficient pro tection, although otherwise the suits must share the popularity of one-piece dresses. -- The model sketched, for today repre sents one of the most all-around satis factory two-piece suits it la possible to design. Its material Is chamois colored cheviot with dark velvet collar and strappings of silk braid. The. skirt Is cut long, enough at the left side to be drawn up a bit in a shirr line, without disturbing the evenness of the foot hem, and Is held In place by one of the straps, thus producing a fetching drap ery that is hardly more than a sugges tion. Otherwise the skirt is plain Tho coat, the fashlonabln Unrrril n 4hi-ty-trf-TstamTri pertffanT-Hp-oHfj .o uutuirs couar ana .ts frill pewed to one side for its dash. The fronts are simply faced and held together'" by the two velwt covered buttons that at the same time decorate the points of the tab that is applied even with the edfre The sleeves are oddly finished above the wrists with a puffin of batiste like that of the frill, overlapped by a narrow strap with ornamental buttons. - There Is more fullness in all of the tailored skirts, but, as in this model it is generally made not too apparent, be ing held in by one method or another These treatments are never nllowed to nterrere with the straight etfect, which s as insistently demanded as it has been all summer. Plaits, as was foretold, are being liberally Introduced, but they, too, are confined in such a way that there in no deviation from the desired line. On the contrary, of the plaits it may said that they accentuate rather than detract from the up-and-down appear ance, but. at that, the tailors are Intro ducing plaits sparingly and with the greatest discrimination. for women have become too enamored of the trie plainness that has been bo long the rule to be easily turned away from It. One suit model that, after the one illustrated, ls bound to be widely adopt ed, consists of a skirt perfectly plain except for two very wide box plaits at the back, which are reproduced and made to continue the same lines in the half-length coat, while another model of importance has two single lnturned plaits similarly carried out at the sides directly at the under arm seams, con tinued also In the skirt. A shapely tailored suit of simple lines. WHA T THEY QUARRELLED ABOUT "W By Christine Terhune Herrick. HY can I never find anything In this house?" The voice was Taul's, Ir ritated beyond the pretense of politeness. Frances' an swer cnmo in tones chill enough to have cooled a husbr.rd's hottest wrath. "Probably because you never put any thing away in Its right place." The frigid reply failed of affect, for Paul's retort came with evn more heat than his first remark. "I put my things where I want them to be and then you put them some-' where else!" By this time Frances had left her sewing and made her way to where Taul was "rampaging about" among the contents of the hall closet, which were strewn about indiscriminately. She surveyed him a moment with the dead ly calm of a wife who la sure she is in the right When she spoke her Voice had taken on further frostlness. "If you will be good enough to let me know what" you are looking for I may be able to tell you where it Is. You probably left it In the middle of tha floor and I had to pick It up before I could cross the room." "I put It right in here where It be longs and some one has stolen it! Upon my word. If I don't keep my things under lock and key they are always ftakenl First I lost my best um brella, and last month my new over shoes went, and now this is the last stroke! If. I kept house I bet I could manage to keep things from being lost or stolen '" Frances Interrupted him with studied moderation. "You left your umbrella on the front porch to drip, and forgot your over shoes at the theatre, you , may remem ber. What la missing nowy plqft&e?" "My shotgun! Here I break away from the office and come home early on purpose to mean my gun and It's gone! I put It In this closet myself, and if it" not here it's because if been etolenl Oh, you needn't look for It! You can't find a thing that's not here, and I've had everything out of this closet " f -JBut Frn ha4 dpart4k-- Befwe Paul had finished his sentence she was back with ,. a folding step and., had mounted it. From tha back of the top shelf of tho closet she took down the gun and without a word handed it to her husband. He stared at. it open-mouthed. "Who put it there?" " "You did. You said It was too valu able to bo standing in the closet where any one could walk off with It and so you stowed it away on the shelf." "Why didn't you tell mo it was there Instead of letting me make a fool of myself?" "Because you wouldn't say what yon were looking for until a moment ago." Paul trfel to growl, but the Joke of the situations was too much'- for him. He threw his arm around Frances. "Would one pound of candy square you, or must I make It twoT "One pound would do it If you'd own up that once In a while you put things away yourself and cun t find them and then blame it on me!" "Great Scott! I'm In luck! I thought I'd have to do that and-'glve you the two-pounder besides!" HI ID 0 Empty Beer Kegs Leave Dry Towns; Liquor Sold on Sunday. (Salem Bureau of Tbe Journal.)
