fore his engagements begin in foreign
cities. In his palace he has museum
richly stocked with crowns. cups, COB.
let's, cigar cases, ETC., which have been
riven to him as testimonials Of ad.

history attached to one Of the cigarette

Who gave him a cigarette case made

stones. The initials Of Tamago In EN-.

Mary Nimmo Balentine writing of the

some amusing incidents in the expert

quire great tact and self-command to
be passed over without contretemps.
women whose husbands and faith

people at times. 1t Is asserted that the
women in the families Of candidates
for office often assist In determining
the outcome of elections. When this
is true 1t is because of the quiet tact
and domestic virtues of the women
rather than of any specially brilliant
performances on their part. The wife
of prominent Senator, who Is also
the daughter of Senator, recalls with
much mirth the days of her fathers
campaign. She and her sister used to
accompany him when he went to make
speeches, and wrapped in waterproof
cloaks the young ladies would mingle
with the crowd to hear the comments
of the people. The two were noted

Skating In OId Days.

While skating is now one of the most
popular sports of the winter season, it
is only comparatively few years since
it has become so in New York When
the Central Park was being constructed
in 1860 and the small artificial lake at
Fifty-ninth street was nearly COM
pieted, the park commissioners an
nounced that it would be thrown open
for the use of skaters. A few men
took advantage of the invitation, but
women could not be induced to go on
the ice. The skates then in use We're
Of the most antique pattern, some Of
the runners extending a long way in
front of the foot, ending in a ringlike
curl. In crowd these skates were
quite dangerous, and the first year
skating was anything except popular
During the next winter the larger
lake at the upper end of the mall WAS
In such condition that It could be used
for skating. Here there was more
room for the sport, but still the women
could not be induced to venture on the
zee. A number Of gentlemen deter
mined to overcome this prejudice and
organized the New York Skating Club
having a regulation patterned skate
almost even with the sole of the boot
which was laced up tight to the ankle
while the Objectionable strap was done
away with, the runner being fixed tc
the sole while in use by a ball and
socket and held firmly with a clamp
These became popular that winter with
the men, and lighter kind was made
for women. The prejudice, however
still existed among the latter, until the
club invited a lady who was a fint
skater, from Portland, Maine, to visi
the Central Park and skate with tn,
club. This lady wore a pretty and ap
propriate dress, similar to that worn IL
winter by women skaters In Europe
and she created such a sensation b,
her artistic skating as to attract mucl
notice. The result was that before tn,
season ended several young ladies wer,
Induced by the club to venture on tn
i,e, and the season Of 1923 foun,
many, with pretty costumes, enjoyin
the sport. A series of carnivals wa
arranged by the club during the follow
ing season, and skating In the evenin,
became one of the fashionable winte
amusements.

The dying wish of a poor music
teacher recently was that her body
should be buried in her plano. The
piano, she declared, had been the best
friend she had ever had. In its sympa-
thetic ears she had poured out all her
suffe1ings and sorrows; all her natle
joys. She could not, she said, bear to
part with 1t in death. Accordingly,
this curious request was carried out.
For two days after the poor woman's
death the piano, from which the legs
and mechanism had been detached,
draped in white, served as a bier. II
was then carried out, and, holding in
its embrace the mortal remains of the
little music teachers body, the instru-
ment was reverently placed in the
grave.-Glasgow Weekly Mail.
