1T Is related that q famous college
professor was In a book store one day
deeply engaged In a search for partic-
ular book. There were many custom
ers present, and, before leaving, he
shook hands with few friends. Last
of all he extended his hand to sweet
faced lady, saying: Good morning,
madam. Your face look very familiar,
but am unable to recall your name."
Absorbed in thought, he passed out
without awaiting the lady's reply. She
was his wife.
On the forefngcr Of Chauncey Dcpew
may be seen an old ring which has been
often commented upon. 1t is one Of
those mystic German rings which was
given him by one Of the nobility whilc
abroad. Composed of three separate
bands, II parts slightly in the middle
when the fingers are bent. The out
side Is perfectly plain and Is set with
ruby and amethyst. Upon pressing
these stones, a spring opens and dis
covers the surface covered with magical
signs and names Of spirits:
Indoor tennis is one Of the popular
winter sports It has been discovered
that nothing builds up the figure HIKE
handling a racket, hence all the girls
are playing tennis eft to kill" In both
rain and shine. The costume for indoor
tennis is more abbreviated than was
possible for outdoor work. A Jersey
blouse, skin-tight as far down AS the
waist, and a copious Jersey flannel
skirt, with all-wool stockings and cork
soled shoes, are worn for this glorious
indoor pastime. The costumes are
made somewhat warmer to induce
perspiration, as that's the best factor
in producing good complexion.
1T is queer that the moderately
well-to-do families Of New York do not
understand the beauty of candle light
as dinner accompaniment There u
not stylish hotel in Europe that does
not grace its tables with candles safely
shaded with colored hoods, and in most
Of the great houses of the rich the
charm Of this form Of decoration has
long been appreciated 1t is not neces-
sary to buy silver or plated candelabra;
in fact, they have a vulgar look unless
they are heirlooms. Nothing for the
purpose is so pretty as single candle-
sticks Of Austrian make or the French
goods that are made with three
branches for the lights. IN. Y. Sun.
