The sale of checks issued TO persons
leaving theater during a perform
ance, says the London Chronicle, has
caused much annoyance, especially in
some European capitals. Many spec
tators do not wish to return. and their
checks are sold at a reduced price to
people who see the rest of the perform
ance without paying anything to the
impresario. The ingenious Japanese
appear to have found way of spelling
this little game. Nothing could be more
simple and effectual. Instead of issu-
ing checks they mark the spectator on
the hand with an india rubber stamp,
the mark varying each evening in form
and color A correspondent informs
us that at several large gatherings in
Wales persons leaving the place for a
few minutes have had their hands
marked by rubber stamp, and there
was a good deal of indignation at the
recent Cardiff Eisteddfod because this
plan was adopted instead of making
(as was done an extra charge for re-
admission. Another correspondent Ca
boarding school teacher) informs us
that the device has been in vogue for
some years at flower shows in the
north of England. But latterly it has
fallen into disfavor in consequence of
the ease with which, it is found, i'm
pressions can be transferred.

VANITY WORTH WHILE.

Well Dressed.
cit is delightful to be imbued with
a tiny bit of vanity" said little wom-
an, tying her veil before the glass, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. That's a
most unorthodox sentiment, madam,
laughed her companion. do you think
so?" said the little woman, putting on
her gloves meditatively. Il am not so
sure of that. | know that | should not
be able to face the people | must see
today or accomplish the mission /

that my toque was pretty, my dress
and gloves dainty and well fitting and
all the other little details of my get-up
irreproachable. As 1t is. know look
nice and that peple like to see me. So
/ can please them and get what | want.
Is that vanity? Perhaps there is some
other name for it," 1T sounds very
like vanity" said her companion, 'but
perhaps there is some more up-to-date
name for it. When ! was young and
| looked in the glass and admired the
becomingness of my clothes, l was
called vain" There, dear, just button
my gloves for me, and | will tell you

an. 1T may be vanity; if SO, | don't

over, shall try to make you do the
same. 1t can't be wrong to try to make
oneself look pretty and I'm sure it is
not wrong to know what is pretty.

of confidence in their own powers to
become charming women. 1t would

Out in the wild waste of waters
southwest of Hawaii, ten days sail
from that island and four days sail
from the nearest land, the American
flag has tapped and fiuttered over two
tiny bits of land for more than forty
years. Baker and Rowland are the
names of these old Pacific possessions
of ours. They nestle close to the
equator near 176 longitude, and are
marked OH every good-sized map OF
that part OF the world. Yet how few
of us have ever known that We ex-
banded in the Pacific long before the
guns roared at Fort Sumter. Peace
fully we took possession of them, peace
fully we have held them. No congress
sional debates have ever occurred as
to their form Of government. no senate
has ever been called upon to ratify an
appointment OF a governor over them.
In fact, they are so far from anywhere
that even the most persistent office
seeker would scarcely accept an APP
pointment there Rowland or Hol-
land island is the larger of the tive,
and Is separated from Baker island by
an arm of the sea about twenty-five
miles wide. It is about two miles long
