S~hakespearc's Name.

Press.

1t has often been 4 puzzle 70 students
of Shakespeare why his name is spelled
III so many different ways. Shakespeare
himself is said to have signed his name
on different occasions "Shakspeare' and
Shakespeare. and learned disquisitions
have been written to prove which is the
proper spelling. None perhaps was NOR
amusing than the weather. reason
given in 1851 by albert Smith, who
averred that he had found it il the Har-
lelan MSS. 1t was as follows:
How dyd Shakespeare spell hys name?
Ie weatherre maybe We change, we save,
So write it as ye please;
When We some shone he maybe hys A,
When wette he took hys E'es.

SPOONING PARTIES,
How These COmmenGable Aids to Matrf-
mony Should BE Conducted.

mony Should BE Conducted.
"Spooning" parties are popular in
some quarters. They take their nam,
from Il good old English word which
wa intended to r:Gicale the alleged fan
tastic actions of a young MAJ or a youn.
woman who is in love. For some reason.
which no one ever could explain. every
body pokes fun at the lover. In fact.
that unhappy character is never heroic
III real life, &c matter what great gt5s
Of Ecroism are piled about him on the
stage, and in al tie romantic story
books. Tho s.rl III love a-.l tie buy III
love are said IL lie ''spuony.'
When q '.spo4I.ing" party is given,
the committee IL charge CT the event re-
ceivcs a spool from cuch person who at
tends, or else presents each guest with q
spoon. These spoons re faIcifully
dressed in male and female attire, and
are mated either by the similarity OF
costume or by a distinguishing ribbon.
The girls and boys whose spoons are
mates are expected to take care Of each
other during the continuance of the SO.
eial gathering.
Of course the distribution Of the spoons
is made with the greatest possible care
~fulncss, the aim being to SO place therl
as to properly fit the case Of the young
people to whom they are presented. The
parties arc usually given by the young
people Of on ncighborhood where the
personal preference OF each spooly L.
well known, and they ere tie source OF
nc end Of fun. 1t is possible also that
they serve Us aids to nl~atriIaGny as we'll.
and are therefore comulcndable, since

THE STORY OF A PORTRAIT.
Eew the Painting Was Rescued From an
IgnOminiOuk Fate.

IgnOnniniOuk Fate.
Probably Chicago's first painting with
a history was an excellent portrait Of Il
Of her fairest citiZens-a belle Of 1887.
Fine work as it was, however, at one
time there was imminent danger of its
becoming Il decorative s%ignboard Of a
prominent local livery stable.
Long before the days Of the iron horse
a wandering artist strayed along what
Is LOW the corner of Lake aud Clark
s%tseets. and there opened IL studio.
Was Il dazzling creature who yearucd to
have hee' beauty pcSpetuated upon can
vas. She WAS IL leader i'll the swolldom
Of the town, the aGored objec: OF both
secret and outspokcn admiration of all
the bachelors of her set. Fer f;mily had
ref come over in tho Maytiower, but her
lload was the most cerulean in the far
away down east whence it came. Hence
it was with propriety that she proposed
to crafty her ambition. and posed. be-
deckcd with a wonderful "~anlazone"
and waving numberless plumes, disport-
ing herself with equanimity on the back
OF Il rearing, plunging steed.
The artist had Il fine subject. Need
less to say he rendered it full justice.
When the canvas w;s finished. the I'M
pIessive ensemble was placed upon e,-
hibition i'll the artist s studio, and every
body who was anybody dropped i'll and
layished his admiration upon it. After
atiHe the novelty Ct the displcy wore
c.. People had seen all they wanted Of
it, Int the fair equestrienne's portrait
still hung upon its creators walls, IL
claimed, and, alas. unpaid for. The
landlord Of the embryonic Sir Joshua
Reynolds grew unpleasant to him. He
became addicted to the abominable
habit Of dropping in' upon the young
artist and making unnecessary remarks
about 1.-THE rent at all kinds of mop
perfume moments, until at last life be-
came a burden to the child of art, and
IL despair he decided to return to his
native east and abandon all his dreams
Of fame in the wild prairie town Of the
West.
Among the inartistic and unpretea-
tious citizens of the town was u certain
neutrality-suspicious. stable keeper who was
aware of the circumstances connected
With the unpaid for picture and the
painters impecuniosity. The night pre-
ceding the formers proposed departure
for the city of his birth it was given
out among the good people roundabout
that the stable keeper had purchased the
famous portrait for $500, and that
henceforth it should be the attraction of
his s%isnboard owe his new livery stable.
Tie spread like wildfre within a
few hours, and at nightfall artist and
stahleman had the satisfaction of re-
ceiviag visit from the naughty rela-
t5ves Of the pictures original. The re-
CURED sun was gladly paid by them.
Two hundred fell to the lot of the
shrewd liveryman, the painter received
his first price. $500, and every one was
serene over the historic transaction
