THE CAT POSE GIRT,
The Bachelor Girl Strikes a New Attitude
This Winter

This Winter.
Every dog has its day; SO have
some cats, says the New York Her
aid. The latest possession of the
Bachelor Girl is cat. Any cat will
do, so it's cat and doesn't scratch !.
scratchy cats are debarred. In a
certain sense it has taken the place
Of the mandolin. Time was when
the mandolin formed a necessary
part of the mise en- scene, and by it's
help the bachelor girl could make
very effective tableaus of herself
with the wide ribbon around her
neck and her tapering fingers stray
ing over the wires and occasionally
eliclting PUNK PUNK, merely that
and nothing more.
Now, the cat! When the bell
rings, the bachelor girl attudinizes
over an overhanging drapery and
soft falling silk, with the cat in her
arms, and as the door opens to the
caller she looks up with helpless
ly appealing expression.
The proper thing to do under the
circumstances is to stand for few
minutes overcome with admiration
The visitor, if masculine. goes
away with fitting visions Of charm
ing home of his own where cat
plays leading part. If the visitor
is feminine she appreciates also the
possibilities Of the cat pose, thinks
with regret of the obstinacv of the
baby who refuses.to allow itself to
De folded into plant attitudes. and
determines to urge her husband to
exchange the baby for a cat at the |
first favorable moment.

CHRIsI,s FACE ON A TINY STONE.
The Interesting Exhibition of a New Yorl
Woman

l
The Interesting Exhibition of a New Yorl
Woman.
During last week there was in
the window of FIFTH avenue art
store placard announcing that
1.-THE stone portrait of the Christ
face" was on exhibition within.
| Moved by curiosity, good many
persons entered. They found a
middle-aged woman sitting guard
over little box covered with purple
velvet, which held bit of stone.
In her account of the stone she
says that she picked it up in 1880
near the scene of the Passion Play
at Oberammergau in Bavaria.
"By mere chance" says the
owner, sin turning it under lamp
there suddenly flashed into view
face. The rock is piece of lime
stone of a yellowish brown tint,
its shape that of a human heart.
1t is one inch long and three-quar-
tiers of an inch broad. The surface
is corrugated, with no suggestion
of features, but these Irregularities
cast shadows, and so the blending
of light with these shadows form a
cameo-like face having a startling
resemblance to the type of the
Christ pictures. A change in the
angle of light gives the effect of
the opening or closing the eye. The
stone has been examined by WELL
know biologists, and they all admit
that no tool has touched it's surface. %
This is about what the woman
tells each visitor, opening mean
while her velvet covered box and
disclosing a tiny piece of what
looks like limestone lying on purple
velvet and held firmly in place by
4 glass cover. The first impression
g the smallness of the stone. It
1oes not seem to be even an inch
ong. The second is the apparent
lopelessness of seeing anything
ike a face in it, for the woman
axes pains that it shall be first
seen In that way. Then cautioning
he visitor to watch closely. she
lowly turns the box, and sure
enough the stone takes on the dis
met likeness of face. 1t isn't
necessary, either, to stretch the i'm
gination far to find pronounced
esemblance to the Christ type as
exists In art.-New York Sun.
