EER THEORY OFFENSIVE.

A girl who has theories has made up
her mind that ofone ofthem, at least, she
will never again speak In public. At
somebody's tea, not long ago, she met
an elderly but still youthful-appearing
mGn who is a power in society. The
conversation turned On hair, and the
lack Of hair, says the Washington Post.
"You can tell n mans character from
the way badness begins with him." an
nounced the young woman who has
theories.
"a scolarly, studious, upright man
always grows bald at the crown of his
head first"
"And suppose he grows bald at The
temples hrst?" asked the elderly gentle
man, whose hair is really almost a
bang.
"Oh," said the young woman, posi-
lively, "he's a very different sort, then.
never knew a man who grew bald
above his forehead who wasn't an ut
ter scoundrel at heart"
"But-" began her listener.
"Oh, he may conceal his real nature,
size went on, but he's a villain just the
same. Don't you agree with me?"
The elderly gentleman rose. His
voice tremblcd little.
