it, are gifted with "the cheek Of a team Of

everyday laundry soap, purchased from

drop Of berEamot on each square, and are
then neatly wrapped in a small circular OF

They are falsely represented to possess
wonderful cleansing properties and retail

These two rakirs are inyeterate gamblers,
and after they have raised a stake on their
fraudulent wares, go across the Long

tiger in some of the gambling resorts
in Iawless Jackson City. They are prime
fayorites with the headIess lady, and were
it not for her infatuatinn for the man Of

between her and the tail faklr, who wears

The old pensioner is another object OF
interest. He pays three months board in

fellow tells some remarkable war stories,
which, If true, would place him in the
niche ofheroes with Napoleon, Mad Anthony

and fiery days OF war.

stranger waited until the balls were
arranged. and by a quick movement OF
the pole sent the cue ball flying. One

shot and another score made. A third,

charming story of "A Brave Lady" but

what she is doing NOW to earn her living

her and the children,p any bright energetic
woman in the District, as elsewhere, can
do with even far more gratifying results.
''There is a great big field open right
here in Washington for some woman who
will undertake during the season to over

and dinners to cook those same herself
If need be, and to inYestth entertainments

woman who does q rushing big business at
this sort of thing during the season, whose
time is engaged weeks ahead and whose
energies are taxed TO their utmost to keep
up with the orders that fairly pile up at
her door. Her patronage is OF the most
fashionable description, and to secure
her services is considered an advance agent
of success for the entertainers.
This being the case there is no reason
why some bright, energetic young woman
with a talent, real or acquired, for cook
ing should not enter the field 1t is a large
one. There is room for half dozen aS
