WHAT A SHOWER REVEALS.

The Curious Sights to BE Witnessed in the
Streets When People are Caught ont in the
Rain
Chicago journal.
Did YOU ever notice how people per-
form when a storm comes up or the rain
comes down. OF course you didn't. You
were too busy looking out for yourself.
As Sam Jones said about sinners on judg-
ment day, they will quit attending TO
other peoples affairs about that time be-
cause they will have an important Job en-
hand saving themselves. So when the
big drops begin to strike the payements
and throw the spray back into your face,
n very severe fit of minding their own
business seizes upon everybody Dignity
etiquette and courtesy vanish with the
sun, and selhshness comes with the cloud
There is general rise in dress goods and
quite decline in feathers. Women turn
from butterflies TO nuns. The umbrella
croaker slides down as if from the top of
some building where he had been watch
ing for the rain, and confronts all who
forgot that article, The shoeshiner slides
into a stairway with grin because of the
harvest the mud will bring. The maiden
attached to a poodle by her affections and
a string gathers the wet curly cur in her
arms and seeks a car TO the disgust of
everybody. The artificial dame forgets
the powder and paste a few rain drops
steal down her checks leaving streaks
where they run, and the spectacle of an
ancient head and a modern bust APP
pears.
The umbrella brigade is at once in
marching order. They present as for
midable a phalanx as the warriors with
their testudo of shining shields before the
walls of Troy. They move on the street
crossings. All try to cross at once. With
as little judgment as sheep trying to pass
narrow gate, they crowd and impede
each other.
The slow-going old gentleman from In
diana takes the scene for a procession
and calmly stands on the corner in the
rain waiting for it to pass. The dude
with the Grape high on his hat to show
the depth OF his grief gives an Wchin q
dime to call conveyance, and handsome
in hanson away he goes. The youth in
whose breaet tender feeling are beginning
to stir, runs half mile after a protection
for some fair head, and when he re turns
painting and wet and SAYS he don't mind
it bit she smiles and the sun comes
out the crowd Stacks mp and takes
breath, the bow appears, the people put
of their wraps, the ladies loosen THEN
clutch on their skirts, the umbrellas are
turned into walking sticks, the news-boy
bounds from the alley with a loud cry for
his papers with the latest sensation, the
shower is forgotten and the city world
slows up and dries of

only difficulty was to select from the large
number who were anxious to 60 with
them. They carried poles with them nine
feet long; in other respects everything
went as usual, even 70 the regulation but
terfy of gorgeous hues, who chose the
same day for his ascent.
Mr.. Frederick Clissold describes a mar
row escape which he had during his as
cent in 1922, and Mr.. H. jackson deserves
notice as the first who boldly disclaimed
all scientific motives for making the at

and difficulty, and the succeeding in it

Lotta the actress, has received a small
fortune in presents from many unknown
admirers. Many of the presents were
sent to her without her having any knowl-
edge of the giver. Two seasons ago,
while playing an engagement in this city,
a bouquet was thrown on the stage at one
of the performances, and tied in the cord
was a diamond ring. As Lolita had fire.
quently received rings in this manner,
she thought nothing in particular of the
manner in which the gift reached her.
Yesterday Clark J. Wood, of the commit
tee of the estate of Isabella Jennings, an
alleged lunatic As years old, brought suit
in common pleas court No. 3, against
Charlotte M, Crabtree, otherwise known
as Lolita, for the recovery of a diamond
ring, the committee claiming that Miss
Jennings was a lunatic and that she had
given Lolita a ring while of unsound mind.
Later in the day the suit was withdrawn.
Mrs. Jennings owns $4,000 worth of
land at Atlantic City, claiming against II.
j. g. G. r, Crnmp, proprietors of the Col
onade hotel, and some iewelry in the pos
session Of Mrs. Crump. Lolita says that
she knows nothing about Mrs. Jennings,
and does not know whether she received
diamond ring from the alleged lunatic,
and James II. Hayerin, Lotta's counsel,
says that anyone who loses a ring or de-
sires TO obtain one can make a similar
claim, and that Lolita has no desire or in
tention of unjustly Withholding the prop
eTty of any one.

There is a fashionable boarding school
in New York where the young ladies are
taught TO enter and get out of a carriage.
A vehicle with the proper pedal arrange
ment for this sort of exercise, which de-
termines a ladys breeding and claim TO
social position, Is kept in the back yard
of the educational establishment, and
there the carriage classes are put through
the most arduous training. Another ac-
complishment peculiar to this gilt-edged
academy is learning TO eat asparagus,
oranges, grapes and other juicy and un-
manageable viands in a style that shall
represent the perfection of table man
ners. OF course these are luxuries, and
like French and italian, included in the
extras but then the social creed of to-
day sticks at nothing, not even at this
expensive form of higher education.

tions, teas, and so on, writes a CORES

Whitney in value to the society news

all his rough diamoud ways and glories
in them He is particularly fond of
dropping into an informal chat with
newspaper men who call to inquire
about some Pacific coast matter and
when he gets started he runs on in this
way:

a chicken ranch. I'd locate in some fer

tains, get 100 acres and raise chickens,

bread and coffee. That is what l call
genuine comfort"
And then the rugged Old gold-hunter
will relapse into silence, wrapped in con
temptation of his ideal life.

there having been decided improvement even
in through business with them. Local traffic is
getting up toward high-water mark that OF last
