Columbian and Y. VI. {. \. for Thanks

The advent of a team from the Y. NJ. c.
A and the inability to arrange a game
with GEORGETOWN University for Thanks
giving naturally suggest a game between
Columbian and the Young Mems Christian
Association for that date as an all-Wash-
ingtOn attraction exclusively representing
local teams. This arrangement would be
by far the most desirable from local
standpoint in the absence of a game be
tween the two varsity elevens. and would
arouse considerable interest in the sport
As soon as Il team is certain to be or
sanized at Columbian negotiations for the
Thanksgiving date Will he opened with the
Y. NJ. c. A.. and the game will no doubt
be arranged This arrangement would
stimulate both teams to their utmost eff
forts and they would become the center of
interest as the contestants for the local
pigskin honors. Mr.. Leonard l.. Nichol-
son, jr.. is acting manager for Column

reclining-some mapping, some slipping
coHee, some smoking the narghileh,
some chatting and one going through
the varied postures and gestures con-
nected with the 80 Moslem prayers he
was offering.
Instead of being conducted to a pri-
Vate room, in conformity with Ameri-
can and European views of propriety,
the bather is expected to disrobe be-
fore this miscellaneous audience (and
also the outside audience in the street,
whenever the door is temporarily OPEN
ed), and he then stores his clothes in
large drawer underneath his couch.
The publicity of the disrobing act is,
however, satisfactorily, but humorous
ly modified by the attendants, who,
by the free use of innumerable towels,
construct a sort of temporary screen.
After this the bather is given wooden
sandals with high strips fastened to
the bottom which convert them into
form of silt, which upon the feet of
novice constantly threaten to break
his neck. Thus equipped he is con-
Quoted to so-called hot room, in
which the temperature seems to about
equal hot summer day in Philadel-
phia. He is then subjected to slight
rubbing, his limbs are pulled until they
crack after which, If he desires a
shower bath. a stream of cold water
is aimed at him from an ordinary hose
which smarts him sufficiently to justi-
fly his sudden exit for shelter. He is
then wrapped in a number of enormous
Turkish towels, his head is pictures
quely 'turbaned." and he is conducted
to his couch, where he can recline I'M
til sufficiently rested.
In order to satisfy the curiosity it
may pay to take Damascene Turkish
bath, but for thoroughness cleanliness
and genuine comfort and the enjoy
ment of all the paraphernalia with
which American ingenuity has improv-
ed the crude methods of the orientals
I would recommend the European or
American Turkish bath establishments.
The Damascenes will probably con-
duct their baths in the present style
for the next century. On the other hand,
in America improvement after i'm
provement will be made to make this
eXhilarating bath still more enjoyable
and invigorating. And this. in a nut
shell, tells the story of oriental con-

The lower part of the skirt is covered
with three or four little bias frills of
plain white glace silk, edged with rose
pink satin ribbon. The bodice is ar
ranged to correspond with a quaint
shoulder scarf of white glace, arrang-
ed like Marie Stuart fichu and bord-

FEW CLIMB STAIRS PROPERLY.
There Is a Right and Wrong Way for
That Simple Act.

From the Chicago Chronicle
If one could avoid fatigue in climbing
stairs, a necessary act in a city like
Chicago where many buildings have no
elevators, he must learn to do it prop
erly. A physician of repute tells how
this should be done. Usually" he
says, "a person will tread on the ball of
the foot in taking each step. This is
very tiresome and wearing on the mus
cles, as it throws the entire suspended
weight of the body on the muscles of
the legs and feet. You should in walk
ing or climbing stairs seek for the most
equal distribution of the bodys weight
possible In walking upstairs your
feet should be placed squarely down
on the step, heel and all, and then the
work should be performed slowly and
deliberately. In this way Their is no
strain upon any particular muscle, but
each one is doing it's duty in natural
manner. The woman who goes up
stairs with a spring is no philosopher.
or at leass she is not making proper
use of her reasoning faculties. The
habit, too, of bending over half double
when ascending a flight of stairs is
exceedingly reprehensible. In any eX-
ertion of this kind, when the heart is
naturally excited to a more rapid ac-
ton, it is desirable that the lungs
should have full play. The crouching
position interferes with their action,
the blood is imperfectly aerated, and
there is trouble a once. Give the lungs
a chance to do their work everywhere
and at all times"

better, and he angrily tore 1T in pieces
BY this time the other passengers were
grinning at the swindled man. The floor
was covered with the offending sheets
and people passing along the aisle kick
ed them from one end of the car to the
other The mans blood was up and he
went viciously at the remaining maya
zines. Still the same result. In a
rage he opened the window and flung
them out. The winds scattered them
along the right of way
"Chaff," he said bitterly. "chaff and
no wheat! Here, boy" to the vendor
he passed, get me a daily paper,
quick! Oh any one. The worst Is bet
ter than those things. l wonder that
anyone buys such wretched stuff, and I
wonder still more that people can lie
such fools as to advertise in them"

HAPPINESS WAS WRECKED.
Fer Lack of Lead Pencil a Young Man
Lost a Golden Opportunity.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
There's a certain very dSconsolate
young man over at the treasury de-
partment who bends perspiringly over
his desk all the day and thinks long
and gloomy thoughts about himself. 1t
came about, this state of downhearted-
ness of his. because he happened not to
have a lead pencil with him one after
noon of last week. After the toll of the
day was ended for him he was riding
out to an inn in the suburbs where he
is staying for the summer. Next to
him in the electric car sat girl whom
he had seen but once before, but whom
that once had made him long 20 see
again. He had met her at an entertain
ment of some kind last winter and
knew she lived in Baltimore. Overjoy
ed to see her again, he fairly dubbed
with delight when she bowed.
He talked to her and she talked to
him till, timidly enough, he ventured to
insinuate that he would only be too
grateful for permission to call. Graci-
ously she gave it. She was staying,
she said, with her aunt in Blank ave-
nue., at such and such a number. Now
the young man is as absent minded a
being as ever you met, and he never
trusts his memory for moment.
He searched his pocket for pencil,
but pencil he had none. He is, how
ever, a young man of resources. He
took out a postal card and registered
the address, which had four figures,
by tearing little Sits in the four sides

What the Passengers Did With the De-

had two Satchels and box of cigars
besides some fishing rods folded up. But
what attracted their attention was MS
actions with a half dozen magazines
which he had brought along evidently
to while away the time.
The first one he opened was a bulky
periodical noted for its self-Vaunting
He began at the beginning, but en-
Countered the advertisements. He

the section of paid matter. Then he

material. Buried away he came across
a few pages.
In disgust he began cutting away the
advertising pages with his penknife.
Soon his knees. the seat and the floor
were Uttered with the worthless pages.
The conductor came along.
Aren't you making a good deal of
muss?" he asked.
We'll, who's to blame. l or your
trainboy who sold me such trash?" re-

up another magazine. His luck was TO
