I 8451 Tunic Dress with Low Bell 



| for Misses and Small Women, 



16 and 18 years. 



Simplicity in style and cut in combination 

 with the low waist line make the essential 

 features of the Moyen Age idea and this cos- 

 tume shows them. It is really a very smart 

 frock, admirable for street wear in mild days, 

 with perhaps the addition of a light shoulder 

 wrap, and perfectly adapted to indoor occa- 

 sions at all seasons. The circular tunic flares 

 most gracefully over the narrow two-piece skirt 

 and the two materials are combined most suc- 

 cessfully in the body portion. Altogether the 

 costume is youthful in effect and exceedingly 

 smart. 



ArcAdiA Pet Squirrel Shot. 



The pet gray squirrel that has attract- 

 ed much attention from visitors at the 

 Agassiz grove. ArcAdiA, Sound Beach, 

 was shot Thursday afternoon by two 

 unknown vandals. They came direetly 

 for the purpose of shooting the squir- 

 rel, and returned at once, going across 

 the golf grounds in the direction of 

 Stamford. I was not at home at the 

 time. The miscreants came near the 

 home, and shot the squirrel where it 

 was eating nuts that had been recently 

 fed to it by members of the household, 

 who were near-by when the beloved 

 squirrel was shot. It is needless to say 

 that their sorrow and indignation were 

 intense. The "hunters" in an insolent 

 manner picked up the dead squirrel 

 and started across the grounds despite 

 the appeals to leave it. 



This squirrel was known to hun- 

 dreds of visitors, and had become so 

 tame that it feared no one. To go near 

 to such a con tiding pet and shoot it is 

 not sportsmanship but deviltry. 



A Correction That Did Not Correct. 



A woman after a long boat ride step- 

 ped on shore and said, "T am glad to 

 get back on vice versa." 



"No," said the man. helping her out. 

 "you have made a slip of the tongue ; 

 you mean terra cotta." 



Little Mary's mother, a facetious 

 contributor to the "Ladies' Home Jour- 

 nal" tells us, was writing a letter to 

 her sister one day, and Mary, who did 

 everything her mother did, began to 

 write also. As the little girl com- 

 menced her letter she looked up and 

 asked. ".Mamma, how do you spell 

 'Aunt' — the kind that ain't a bug?"
