The Die6sc3 Combined In One.
An Englishwoman has Invented n
trw.i whl':h gives three changes In
one. It" Is designed especially for
frills who go on walking tours, thiB
form of exerclso having become popu
lar In England. Starting out In one
of these dreiees It Is possible to wind
up tt a friend's or elsewhere, and
cou'rlve a change which does not
amell of the road. When used for
walking purposes the dress Is on the
Jumper order, with a plait back and
front reaching from the neck to the
hei, with black linen buttons down
ea h sido. The sleeves reach to the
wlsts. with buttons down the outside
seim, and a neat little Puritan collar
w 'h a black silk tie Is worn. When
a li.-.lt Is called the high collar and
fr.Mit omo out. and by an ingenious
ai T-ngeineut, the top of the gown
tr us down. Over It a I'eter Pan col
la may be finned. The long sleeves
I.: S."itoa Juj.t above the eibow.and
c pair of imif'.ln cuffs to match tin
cr br are butlcnod on. This works a
ti Ds!ru:atlon Into a cool and pretty
d er frock. A white tucked muslin
g t pe gives another change, as It
ci " be worn Instead of the gray linen
fi-'fit and collar, which are detacha
b These combination dresses are
ni w on sale In London, and they
o'.rht to commend themselves to the
bnitl of American girls now traveling
In Lng'.and and Scotland, each with
ot o hat, one dress and a fsw small
ar letes In a email handbag.
A Question of Baldness.
"William F. Babbitt, traveling sales

o i-t lo him and said: 'Say, my
f- eud. would you believe I had no
n o.e hair than you have two years
rtio?" The gentleman was at just
that stage whore be still had hope
I was willing to try anything. So,
i - ling up, he said: "Is that so? What
C : you do for it?"

His Party.
A matron of the most determined
character was encountered by a young

at oue house. "No, you can't." an-Eve-ed
the matron divisive!;. "Hut

Wherever the ordinary hooks and

The girl offered him a chair snd
then placed a ten-kettle over an Klco
bol burner, which she lighted.
"Now, Dick, don't be unreasonable,"
she pleaded. "You know I am very
glad to see you, and forttinately '
have a few minutes to spare for you.
Oh, I must tell you ahout our luck ai
tho North Knd Uazaar last night. We
cleued over $r,0. I was busy, jf

"Ilother the type-i." said Wilton.
"Now, Sybil, we nro not. If you pleise
lo mention anything that savors o.'
charity bazaars. Talk to me about
yourself."
"Oh. but I'd rather talk to you about
palmistry."
"All right; but make It a special

to rend my hand once, shortly af.e'
son took up the fad. Onjy being elm
ply no Intimate friend "
"Yon don't need to get sarcastic

of tills."
"Suppose you give me an object les
son to Ultistrnto Its truth."
"I don't want to." ,
"Why not?"
"Well, because, you see It Is this
way, Dick; It Is altogether different
with one's friends. One doesn't like
lo study them psychologically. Yoa
went to feel that they, are In the same
rh. s with Browning's 'certain star,'
of which he only knew that It 'darled
Us red and blue.' I don't want to dls
.;ect you, Dick."
"Thank you. Sybil. To change the
subject; when are you going to mar
ry me?"
She frowned at him over the cups.
"Now, Dick, that Is not fair. You
know we rgreed we wouldn't talk
about serio.'s things like that, but bs
juRt friends.". ,, . . .
"I didn't egree. I simply resigned
myself, rather ungracefully, perhaps
Now, Sybil"
"Now, Dirk, do have some tea. And
plc-.se don't let's talk about such
things any more."
, "All right; let us folk palmistry
.gain. Do you know I have been
studying it a bit on the quiet, so aa
not to be too dreadfully Ignorant when
yon mlgin ravor me with an audience.
Let ne - ce yo-jr hand. Now, don't say
'no.' Remember, I am In earnest and
T- it to learn about It."
"liow absurd: Dick, in you to want
to try anal.-zlcs my character! You
know me perfectly well already."
'"Perhaps:, my specialty Is making
future prc-dictlons. You don't pay; sd
much attention to that. T?ow. Sybil,
11 you don't let me. try, I shall say you
are not serious about the matter and
fl.w't half believe In palmistry your
self. No, never mind the tea now." -
"Well, then"
She held out dainty fiand stress
the cups. Wilton looked at It with sill
appearauce of earnestness. '
"A very fair fortune, Jady. Plenty
of friends and money; I see several
Journeys, few disappointments; an8.
why. Sybil, sure as late, on the lln?
of destiny I can sec a loyal busbiud

"Dick Wilton!"
"If I know myself, yes.
"Let go of ny hand. Why, Dick;
listen; there Is some one coming. Oh.
yes. Mrs. Dc-erlng to see me about the
Everett Street Church flilr. I prom
ised to read bands for them Saturday.
Dick!"
"Yes, Sybil, but tell ma first did
that line lie? Is palmistr exact or
not?"
"Yes, only, oh, Dick."
It was a Sybil of ruffled curls and
pink face that subsided behind the
tea cup3 as the visitor entered. In
a moment she had gained her com
