Women Sit on the Right Side.

"Have you ever noticed, said man
about town, "that nine women out OF
ten when they enter a street car invari-
ably take seat on the right hand side of
the car? / have frequently wondered at
it, and a solution of the mystery did not
occur to me until few nights ago.

entirely empty, and sat down Ill the for

opposite me. At the next street two
more women got i'll and took seats
alongside of the first After time
there were seven women in the car, all
sitting in a row, leaving me to enjoy
alone the comforts of the left hand seats.
Then three men jumped aboard and sat
down on my side. Finally another wom-

vacant seat near the door on the ladies

me to watch her more closely than good
manners possibly warranted, but
solved the mystery to my satisfaction.
She paid the conductor with her left

Twelfth Century Tablecloths.

In vhe twelfth century the tablecloths
were very large and were always laid
on the table double. For long time
tl.oy were called "doublers" for that
reason. The cloth was first placed so as
to touch the floor ON the side of the ia
BILE at which the guests sat. Then all
the cloth that remained was folded SO
that it just covered the table.
Charles V had 81 tablecloths which
were from 10 to 90 yards long and 2
yards wide He had one cloth which
was 32 yards long, and that had the
arms of France embroidered on it In
silk. All of these were fringed.
In the sixteenth century "doublers,
or double cloths, were replaced by two
tablecloths, one of which was small and
was laid just as we lay ours today.
The other, which was put on over it,
was large and of beautifully figured
linen. 1t was skillfully folded in such
way that, as book of that time says,
lit resembled winding river, gently
ruffled by a little breeze, for among very
many little folds were here and there
great bubbles. -
1t must have required much art and
care to make dishes, plates, saltcellars,
sauce dishes and glasses stand steadily
in the midst of this undulating sea and
among those bubbles" and puffy folds.
However, the fashion had only short
existence, as is apt to be the case with
impractical fashions, and toward the
latter part Of the century single cloth,
laid fat and touching the floor on all
sides of the table, came into general
use.-Y outh's Companion.

Nvodi6ed the Halo.

The contemplated expedition to the
north pole does not appear to be rousins
wild enthusiasm. The discovery OF this
elusive point would no doubt bring
great glory to its discoverer. but even
glory in this materialistic age is requir-
cd to show some practical excuse for Its
being. The sufferings, the privations.
the loss of life and the expense OF reliei
expeditions appear to have considerably
modified the halo that once rested aiiur

now events are taking place whose solu-

and the Committee of Fifteen would
settle for the transportation.

rode to the barn where Superintendent

THE DECORATIONS.
Many Handsom and Pleasing Effects
Have Been Produced.

Topeka decorators have not been al
lowed to rest until last evening. The
work was commenced last Saturday
and men have been busy ever since.
The city is af1utter with flags and
pennantS and streamerS. Everyone who
could purchase strips of the Festival or
Karnival colors has done so, and the
effect is pretty.
There is not business house on Kan
sas avenue that does not show more or
less decoration, the prevailing colors
being red, white and yellow, the colors
of the Festival.
The Rock Island depot has been
transformed into a veritable study in
colors. There are festoons of Festival
colors, and red, white and blue every
where. In front of the depot on the
sidewalk stands an immense globe, the
trade mark of the railroad.
The postoffice building has also been
carefully decorated under the direction
of Postmaster Arnold. Mrs. Sutton had
charge of the decoration on the city
building.
Among the business houses which
attract attention are d. ]. Greenwald' s
store. Shields and stars of the FeStl-
val colors adorn the front of the store
while lights of the Festival colors make
the effect at night brilliant and beauti-
full The show windows are also dec
grated in the Festival colOrs.
The Shawnee Fire Insurance compa-
ny has an electric sign on it's building
at Sixth and Kansas avenues which at
tracts dII6uIlOu. Inc OdChSIOQ-sO
is in the Festival colors. Other fine cleo
trio signs are those in front of Crane
& Co. and across Eighth street at Van
Buren, belonging to the Edison compa-
ny.
The window of the Palace Clothing
company is arranged with the taste and
art and red white and blue and the
Festival colors adorn the building front.
The Topeka Cash Dry Goods compa-
ny has used the colors to a good effect
and there is a mammoth colored sign
across the entire front.
Crosby Bros. have spared no pains
with their big building.
The Hub has Festival and Karnival
colors intermingled with excellent eff
feet.
Other stores which are decorated are:
The Model the New York store, Au-
gusts, Warren M. CroSby'S, Barnum'S,
G. S. Eagles.
The Columbian and Branner buildings
are attractive and show that an UNI
limited amount of work has been done
to decorate them.
Topeka is in holiday attire. Visitors
know by a glance up the streets that
this is a red letter event in the history
of the city.
