A New York paper says we'll
known lady at the opera house the
other night wore her dress very
low in the neck and with simple
straps across the shoulders and the
color of her waist material she got
as near flesh tint as could be found,
so that at q little distance it was
impossible to see any dividing line.
As she sat in her box the effect
was very startling and every opera
glass in the house was levelled at
her, while the men IN the audience
who knew her fastened, between
the acts, as n committee of investl-
CATION to to see what it was she had
on or had off. The effect produced
by her dressing was exactly what
she wanted, and yet she is a young
woman, q married woman, q moth
err and not an lmmodest woman. If
a man should accidentally see her
with the waist of her dress off,
though she wore a high-necked un-
derwaist, she would be ready to
faint, and yet she would sit IN
her box at the opera show
ing as much of her flesh as she
dared and with the avowed inten-
ton of looking as though she was
undressed.

Capt. Ericsson invented the first
steam fire engine somewhere about
1910. He lives on st. Johns Park,
New York City, in a small brick
house. A visitor there at 10 o. clock
at night would open suddenly, and
a man, apparently of fifty, with a
stout figure and ruddy face, trip
lightly down the steps, and, reach
ing Hudson street, walk rapidly
northward. 1t is Capt. Ericsson,
who is close upon eighty years of
age. He works twelve hours every
day, eats lightly, bathing daily in
the coolest of water and using
sharp gymnastlc exercises.
