1ST 5jT U THE REVIVAL OF !., A 'tit nnriT'VTrt mv -r-..-- . The Return of the Feminine ot Uivilization Life, a Burden Without It By ELLEN I NOT Ki with much Interest the revival of pockets once more. It really was ttoo absurd to keep perpetually chasing one's pocket handkerchief In strange and forgotten corners, where one had Inadvertently mislaid It, or to have It drop, In a depressed fashion, from one's curt , right Into tho middle ot a mud-heap on tho road. Whether the average woman welcomes tho In novation of pockets or not I do not know. Cer- ulnly she will take some time to get Into the way of using them For centuries woman has been such a pocketless being that, except for an occasional revolt, alio has grown accustomed to carrying things In her hand, or hanging them on to her wrist or her waist, or on to the male appendage that she trots around with I can hardly Imagine that she wll '.know what to do with a pooket. Dy the time she has really grown acclimatized Mo It the fashion will have changed, and , she will be without one again. (, Upon this very subject of the feminine pocket a man was recently discoursing. He Is a being, by tho way, who prides himself on his comprehensive knowledge of all things feminine, but tho contents of a certain llttlo pocket In a certain little sports coat belonging to a certain little damsel of his acquaintance realty staggered him I Of course, he hadn't the shadow of nn excuse for searching the pocket.

Jack Frost traveled In his Journey toward tho South. Everywhere he saw signs of autumn; all around were hints of winter; yes, his helpers had surely done well. The trees were filled with gaily colored leaves; the fence comers were already piled with dead ?ltrown twigs and crackling 'caves, and the air was full of flying birds, all mak ing for the sunny South. "HI, hoi Is there more fun anywhere than starting a winter?" cried Jack Frost Rudt Jack Frost blew straight through ilr$. South Wld gaily as he swung along through the air. "If there Is, I'm sure It's never been dis covered!" And Just then he saw Mrs. South Wind. "My compliments to von. Mrs. smith Wind," he cried, and he waved his snowy .arms with a grand flourish.

It Is a wearisome business, this being made perpetual caretaker of gold and silver goodness-knows-whats. "Take those for a moment," says the pretty girl with wrom you arc shopping, and, having dis entangled herself from them, pours Into your hand a stream of silver trinkets and chain bags with sharp edges. "Unthinkingly you stuff them In a msss Into your coat pocket, thereby irretrlev ably ruining the set of It for ever more. Failing this, you follow round like a pet dog, dropping bits of things every 10 yards, and probably emerge from the store at the finish, having shed a pocket mirror and a powder puff, and thereby Incurring perpetual disgrace. "The only thing I hope and pray is that women are going to have their pock eto where they can get at them without disturbing tho peace of the community. The remark of the taxi driver to the lady In the days of old, when she was hunting In an elusive pocket for the fare. Is too widely known to be repeated." . The return of the pocket then-ln the right place, be It understood Is a step In tho march of civilization. It was the strangest idea In the world to dispense with the femlnlno pocket: for, of course, a woman has more to hide than a man. It brought her to the sad necessity of hanging her self with foolish little accessories, which she was forever losing, and for which some unfortunate male-being husband or sweetheart had to pay. And he was a lucky man If he was sufficiently diplo matic to avoid the carrying of the same, once these foolish little accessories were bought and paid for. Jack Frost met Mrs. West Wind "How do you do, good lady?" he said gallantly. "I am meeting all tho Wind family to day, I should think you would be out of my way ere this? Didn't you guess I would be coming?" "To bo sure I did, to be sure," replied Mrs. West Wind. "But I worked day by day, hoping each day that you would sleep longer. I would like to havo you stay away one year, long enough for me to finish a summer in proper style!" "Ho, ho, ho!" laughed Jack Frost. "That's a Joke on you! As though you could ever finish a summer! You work all tho season, but I tell you it takes mo to finish off the summer properly. If I nover came, where would you get your golden trees? Where your crimson sunsets? Whore your ripened seeds and nuts? It takes me to finish your work! See what my helpers have already done?" And, as Mrs. West Wind hurriedly got out of his Icy path, Jack Frost looked over the work his helpers had started and put the fine finish on the summer season. Copyright Clara Incram JuJon.

Miss Ituth had kept a shoulder to the conversation, and her face was sober as she turned to the widow and said: "I have heard that aged cats are apt to run mad." "Lands of mercy!" "You think a good deal of her, no doubt, but the safest way Is to get rid of her. If she runs mad she may bite you." "But how am I going to get rid of her?" "She ought to bq carried off and drowned." Very few people would permit a widow's old cat to disturb their peace of mind, but In this case the occasion was fur nished by Providence for a special pur pose, and In about three days Miss Ruth found herself saying to herself: "I feel bad for that poor old woman. That cat has got to go, and It will be very lonesome around that house. I'll see If I can't buy her another some where;" And Mr, Osborne Chalmers found him self saying to himself: "Darn that old cat. but why should I keep thinking ot her! I never gave a cat two thoughts be fore. Reckon It was because I met a good-looking girl at the same time I met the old cat If the critter has another fit she'll turn up her toes for good. If I knew where I could find a young cat I be lieve I would carry It to her." Miss Ruth arrived at the cottage. The cat sat on the porch. She hadn't had another fit, but she looked as If she were going to have one at the first convenient opportunity. "Yes, sho looks bad," agreed Mrs. Baker, "and I am. going to ask a great favor of you. You see, I am lame, and can't walk far, and I want tho old cat taken away and dropped on the road somewhere. If sho Is carried a mile I don't believe she can find her way back again."

Sheer blouses of georgette nnd batiste are smocked with white or palest pastel colorings, and some houses show touches In hunters' green, tan and even black. Black and white are good as back, but I've thought It all out. We'll put her In a paper flour sack that I have saved.

Miss Ruth agreed to do the errand, and after a time started back with the cap tive. The cat mado no great objections to being sacked up. It is possible that she rather longed for a change of environ ment. A cat In a flour sack meows and snarls and spits, She claws and bites and walls. She wobbles the sack to and fro and back and forth. Miss Ruth was hurrying along with that sacked cat when she saw a young man approaching. It was Osborne Chal mers. When he saw the wobbling sack held out at arm's length he suspected Its contents and hastened his steps. He was too late, however. What is to be will be. It was foreordained that that cat was to claw her way out, and out she came. The feline could have made a peaceful and honorable retreat Into the roadside bushes, but she did nothing of the kind.
