night of JiU ar rival, a tine, dinner was arranged fOi- this man, who by many waa considered the most brilliant writer of his day. The oysters were to be the first course and hl friends Instructed the steward to search the markets tor the very largest oyster to be found. The chef outdid himself and the oysters which were served were extraordinarily large and fat. The guests assembled and went In to dinner. The gentleman' In charge of the entertainment apologized for.

the smallnese of the oysters, and said that Just at hat time, of year they were not' running particularly large. Aa a matter of fact, these particular specimens would- hava taken a prize ln an oyster competition.

Every coward and every fool who ver lived loves to frighten other people.

If he can't frighten a aaan or a woman, he'U frighten a child, and if he can't do that, he'll try to ecare a dog or cat, or sneak up on a nervous, high-strung hors and make him Jump, and rear and trembleif can. It makes the coward or the fool feel Important "and powerful that's why he does It. IN AFTER Children who are- easily frightened are almost always children of Drains. People with no imagination are stolid and not easily moved. It takes a sensitive nervous system to be shaken to the core by the antics or the stories of some ignorant nobody who wants to buy a little brlef'Unportance by terrorising a child.

These bloomers are made of silk and isrepes, trimmed with ruffles mads of self material of laca or georgette, sometimes caught here arid there, on the more dresy models with tiny bows of double-faced ribbon or with tlnynosegaya of French flow ers.

On the silk models deep hem effects of laca or net often appear at the top and bottom of the slips, Into Which are run the patterns of tha embroidery. Step-ins and night gowns made to complete the sets have tha same schema of trimming carried out on them. MANY 6TR1PED DESIGNS.
