Advice to Callers.

On entering the hall do not remove
your shoes; you may take off your
overshoes if they have any holes in
them.
1t is not proper to shake hands
with a lady unless she first offers her
hand. Never chuck her under the
chin and say "Howdy?'
Don't talk too long with the host
ess if there are many other callers. A
three-hour conversation with every
caller is apt to tire her.
1t is not proper to follow caller to
the door and tell him he has carried
off some one else's umbrella.
Do not attempt to eat salads and
bonbons at every house unless there
is sufficient quantity OF beverages
to wash them down.
The calling cards should be small,
white and plain. 1t is not proper to
hand the hostess your business card
with handful OF circulars. Never
carry a basket on your arm in which
to stow away such samples OF lunch
as you cannot conveniently eat.
/. In going out do not select the best
hat and overcoat on the rack.
4 Don't make any New Years calls.

HOW COLUMBUS LOOKED,
The Wild Eyed Stranger Was Puz-
zled and Perplexed.

The Wild Eyed Stranger Was PuZ-
zled and Perplexed.
"Look here" said a wild-eyed
stranger in a shiny threadbare suit,
addressing knot OF gentlemen who
were discussing in the Lindell rotunda
the Genoa festivities-''lookh here, I'm
vexed, perplexed, puzzled, muddled,
off my reckoning, and in painful
state OF bewilderment. I've been try
ing for ten years pastto find out what
Christopher Columbus looked like.
When was kid going to school, the
history which l studied contained
a portrait OF him in the important
act OF discovering Cat Island, and
half dozen bow-legged Indians
squirting at him through their fingers.
That portrait gave him full head,
square shoulders, a green nose and
the naughty eye of the Castilian don.
| accepted this as genuine. supposed
that the man with kodak was abroad
and took snap shot at Chris just as
he was preparing to say to his new
copper colorel acquaintances. This
is the proudest moment OF my life.'
My nerves were considerably shattered
some years later, when | was brought
face to face with a copy OF the por-
trait donated to the city Of Genoa by
CevascO.
"That makes him look like a Cath
Ole priest who was doing penance for
crooking his elbow too much. The
Greek nose gives place to a proboscis
thas resembles q hot roll, and the
proud patrician es e to an optic that
might be expected to discover nothing
more important than the shortest
route to the wine cellar.
Then came to St. Louis to enjoy
the Fall festivities, and was introduce
ed to another authentic portrait OF
the great Genoese. 1t occupies prom
inent position on Olive street. The
hot-roll proboscis has given place to
a beak, the leery eye to an expression
that woul not discredit Mr.. Booths
Shylock. Instead OF the beard OF a
don or the SIN G face OF a priest, Col
umbus looms up with the pointed
mustache and goatee OF a French
dancing-master. Since coming here I
have been looking up other authentic
portraits OF the man who is respon-
sible for the Great Worlds FAIR, with
Sunday-closing controversy attach
ment, and l find that he resembled
pretty much every,hins and every
body on the earth, from q South Sea
buccaneer to natural born ID
fool. am now convin ed that the

a greater hit than Curtis did in sight
