she paints. she plays. she sings and she
''sculpts." She has recently completed
a terra Gotta bust OF her very handsome

wholly unsuggestive of the amateur.
Mrs. Aronson is a pupil of st. Gaudens,

In addition to all these gifts and accom-
plishments Mrs. Aronson is n distract
ingly pretty
Her eyes are as blue rs turQuoises, her
skin has the transparent fairness and tho
tints Of n conch shell. her pretty little
teeth are like peasls. and all this facial
perfection is framed in pale golden hair.
Mrs. Aronson is little and young-just
on the other side of her teens. She is an
excellent linguist, an omnivorous reader,
and she has n younger sister as pretty as
herself, with n voice over which Theo-

Selling Two Dollar TIcksrs by the Hun
dred to EIcursIonists.
A foxy faced young mai literally
covered with new watches suddenly
popped up in the middle of the stag
party Of 500 Columbian club me that
went sailing up the East river the other
day.
Watches hung on buttons, were
strung on straps like onions, dropped
from chains and dangled from snaprings
from his feet to the top of his head,
where his soft hat held half a dozen
fastened with safety pins.
The crowd was staggered into ST.

Pulling theee or four tickers from his
pocket he fred them into the river.

Two hundred men rush to see if the
watches sank.
They sank.
Giving watches to a half dozen men
he said: Examine them and compare
the time with that of other watches.
OF course they do he said, anticipat-
ing their reply. Every well, keep 'em.
No one can afford to be without a
watch"
By this time he was watched by
every one on the barge.
Those who have no watches hold
up their hands"
Half of the crowd obeyed him.

The hands dropped.
Hold onl Don't be frightened. l
sell them for 81 each, and the poorest
man here can afford to pay that for a
timepiece. 1 pay a dollar for every
one l SELL"
Several men came forward to buy.
Hold on. l am not done. These
watches will give you good service for
a year. Then throw it away and buy
another. They are not worth repair
ing. They are a strong watch" and
he SHE'D M over the rough deck, and
it ratified like a Switchboard quot. 1t
was returned, ticking all right.
He passed the watches around, and
took money right and left, getting rid
of ia before the boat landed. He
counted his remaining stock, and as the
crowd moved toward the gangplank he
shouted: Hold onl Some of you
boys have held out nine on me. But
keep EN- for good measure"
Many of the Columbians that bought
watches from the glib salesman were
before night grieved to find that their
new timepieces could only be kept tick
ing by constant shaking. York

she lifted up the skirt Of the tweed
