cigarettes-An Interview with Hsp-A
Rack Eyed Genius.
Gyp Is visiting Omaha.
Haven't seen her? Don't know Gyp?
Nonsensel She may be noticed any day
Walking up and down Farnam street.
She wears red satin coat buttoned
very lightly around her throat and a
toque to match it sets iauntily on her
head. The toque is trimmed with feath-
ers and flowers and flaxen bang peeps
from beneath its rim. Gyp has very
pretty brown eyes and they gaze through
glasses that are perched upon her little
nose. Gyp's department is very proper
except in one respect. She looks straight
ahead through her glasses and walks
with dignity, and when people make re-
marks about her-as they generally do
she does not pay any attention to them.
She just holds her cigarette firmly in her
teeth and assumes an Indifferent air.
For Gyp smokes when she appears upon
the street-that is the only breach in her
otherwise faultless demeanor.

HER LINE AND GET UP.
And what is Gyp's professional line?
Advertising is what occupies ali
her working hours There are big white
letters on her red satin coat, and the let
tiers tell people where to buy certain
things. OF course Gyp attracts more at
tention than dozen newspapers, and
every one who sees the little brown dog
trottlng along the thoroughfares with her
taken bangs sewed securely into her red
satin toque, her glasses adjusted on her
nose and her cigarette in her mouth, is
sure to read the white letters.

week, and Gyp and her master signed a
contract, and her first engagement was

manager. 1t was success, and Gyp APP
peared here in Omaha at the end Of her
season. She wore blue costume then,
and the white letters on her coat, or
! habit, as her young manager calls it,
exhibited the virtues of certain brand
OF cigars.
Gyp is sometimes disappointed in the
weather, but she is very particular about
fulfilling her contract, which calls for SIX
hours walking every day-three hours
In the morning and three IN the after
noon. She confines her promenades te
the principal streets, and she IS often
times annoyed by the crowds which
| gather around her. But being very de
mure and self possessed she refuses t
linger where she can overhear the re
marks of passers by. Once or twice She
has been mortified by brusque commands
to "move on from policemen who die
