Frey is one of the most ingenious men who ever honored the state taking up his residence, within its borders, so it is perhaps natural that should have solved the mystery of perpetual motion after scores of men had failed to accomplish this object.

HOW THE MEN DESCRIBE GOWNS If you want pure and aim' pie, get a man to describo a dress. A girl who with great paint had evolved a smart gown was told by an cuuiutiiastic masculine admirer "that breastplate is just stunning." "Breastplate!" she faltered. "Yes," he said, making vague swirls in the air. "The center piece, you know." "Oh, you mean that little bit of a high-girdle vest effect in front. The idea of calling it a breastplate!" "Well, it it ain't a breastplate, I'd like to know what it is," he returned Bulkily.

"It's exactly like a breast plate." Another dress critic came home and told bis wife that he had seen a rip ping gown that day. "Why don't you get such clothes? Goodness knows you spend money enough. "What color was It." asked his wife, sweetly. "Oh er I didn't Just notice the color. Green, I "What was it made of?" "Why er some sort- of silky stuff." "H'ra.

How was it made?" It is at this juncture that a man al ways resorts to vague, indistinct mo tions of his arms through the air, "Oh," he said, "there were lines sort of going round." and he circled his hand through the air as if he were stirring a pudding. "And there was some sort of floppy stuff about the shoulders. But it was ripping. wish you'd get one like it." "Green, with lines going round and some sort of floppy stuff on the shoulders Wouldn't I look sweet." But -he thinks that description Is complete, and If you told him you could hardly make a dress on the strength of it, he would say unpleas ant things about your gray matter A man of the suburbs who prides himself on his knowledge of dress went to one of the openings yesterday, Last night he gust bubbled over. There's one dress there, dear," he said to his wife, "that's a dandy.

You go down and look at it and have Mrs, Jones make you one like it." Which one is it?" asked his wife "There a about ntty on view, you know." "Well, it's sort of tight here," he said drawing lines on himself where the waist is supposed to be. "wnat is it, a tanor aress or an evening gown, or" "Now, you know Blanks aren tall org. its just a dress like any other dress. Its got a dinky little plain piece pasted onto the top of the skirt "You mean a yoke. Ana are you sure it Is pasted? 1 "Then there is a whole lot of straps hanging from that with certain fringe on the end or em.

"Curtain fringe!" "yes, te Kina mat on your snades. "Oh. And what's t'je material?" "It looked like mosquito netting." "Must have been lovely?" "It was. And there was some lace with dinky little pingpong balls and sotj more fringe on the waist. And the sleeves "Never mind the sleeves, dear.

I think by the time I get a dress of mosquito netting with curtain fringe end ping-pong balls on it" "I didn't say ping-pong balls. I said looked likd 'em," he replied gloomily. "And as for the stuff, I suppose you'd call it foulard. I'm merely telling you what it looked like. No doubt there's a wfcole Jot ef hlfalu-tin names, but what I'm getting at ia the style of the thing," he concluded with dignity.

And then as his wife and sister both began to laugh he went out and slammed the door, firing as a parting shot: "If you'd listen to good suggestions when you get 'em you weuldnt hava clothes that look like everybody else's."
