JELLY PROPAGANDIsAr.

A New Method of Advertising by House-to-

Il really couldn't imagine who the woman
was, my dear"
"But on what pretekt did she obtain an en-
trance?''
None at ALL She sent up her card. Her
name was not unfamiliar to me. but you know
how it is in Washington-one can never tell
whom one has met. So l went down stairs and

'Of course: but not knowing who she was
tried to be as civil as could l even asked her
TO have a cup of tea"
''She accepted?'
'Why not? The tea was brought and she
proceeded 10 talk quite interestingly. She
spoke of art and had few remarks TO make on
literary topics. Then she touched upon dress
l noticed incidentally that she wore o long
tight-fitting coat which was admirably made.
Even you would have been puzzled
Il don't doubt it"
From dress we drifted to household mat
tiers. She did the talking, while listened

Finally the conversation reached the subject of
jellies.'
"You ought to have been able to give her in
struction on that point
THAT notion did not occur to her evidently
she eXpatlated on the subject in detail, un-
buttoning her coat because the room WAS
oyerwarm. Having carefully propounded the
principles which govern the making of jelIios
she proceeded, TO my utter astonishmeat to
extract three or four bottles from small pockets
inside of her coat. They contained ieliies Of
various Sorts
Goodness me-"
That was precisely the exclamation which
occurred 10 me. but was too well-bred to
utter it. Besides, she overcame me with addi-
tional surprise by producing from similar re-
ceptacles u number OF other bottles, likewise
containing jelles. until fully twenty OF them
were arranged upon my tea table. They were
all made fiat, so as to fit inside OF the garment

Be Established.

De EstdDi1sne0.
Eighteen writer's on sporting matters and
several others met in New York the other night
to discuss the question of classes among pugi-
lists. Two hours were taken up in chatter and
the appointment OF two committees, with a ten
minutes interval for a report from one, COM
prised the business. The chairman appointed
Arthur T. Luniley, Johnny Heating. the ex-
feather-weight champion, and Early to report
on what championship weights should be. The
return was that l05 should do for bantams, IFS
for feather weights, 125 for one special class,
1876 for light weights, 145 for another special
class. l55 for a middle weight, 165 for third
special class and heavy weights all above.
The meeting adopted the report with the un-
derstsnding that the scale Of weights was only
q suggestion. All the country over will be asked
to send in views on the subject, and no decided
action will be taken until word has enc from

cerned. Any boxer, rover, sprinter, runner,

YALE WILL PLAY HARVARD.
1hs Two Games VIII Ne Played on tn
Original Dates.

Original Dates.
Capt rockingham Of the Harvard Univer-
s;ty base ball nine has received from the Yale
management letter accepting the dates for
the two games originally proposed by Harvard.
These dates are June %. the day before Har-
wards class day at Cambridge, and June %,
Iale's commencement, at New Haven
Nothing was said about q third game in case
of tie. but it is understood that conference
viii be held In a few days, when any needed
arrangements will be made.
The letter was short and rather magnanimous
In tone, ~ though the Yale men thought they
were doing Harvard a great favor by consent
ing TO play the two games One Of tine faculty
members OF the Harvard athletic committee
said on this points
IF had my way We would not play Yale
this year. She has once refused to accept these
dates and would not consent to be led about
by string any longer. Yale has done alto
gether too much dillydallying; il she will not
meet us half way hereafter say let her alone"
The Harvard undergraduates are generally
much pleased at the fact that the game will be
played, for they feel certain that Yale has no
chance against Harvard this year and that no
third game will be necessary. This sudden
backdown Of Yals ID generally attributed to
the weight Of graduate influence which would
not consent TO have another year slspse with
out games with Harvard
