GUESSING AT THE ADS"
Form of Puzzle Working Devised by u
New York Young Woman.

New York Young Woman.
upper west side by young people, says
the New York Sun. 1t is an outgrowth
Of the immense amount of pictorial
advertising which is being done In all
the newspapers, magazines and street
cars and elevated trains. Almost all
articles which have a sale that is
more than purely local, whether they
be books, c~orsets, gloves, magazines,
crackers, pickles, nair tonics, stove
polishes, or liniments, have nowadays
some pictures which have become
identified with them In the public
mind through seeing them in all sorts
Of public places. This led a certain
young woman, who was at a loss for
something new to do for an evenings
entertainment to work out a game.
She collected a lot of magazines and
cut from the back pages all the adj
vertising pictures, carefully removing
any hint of the article advertised,
which was not a part Of the picture
itself. Then she selected thirty-six OF
them and pasted them on cards, Civ
ing to each a number. These she
strung around her parlors and when
her guests arrived they were put at
work to find out what the pictures adj
vertisad. Some Of the pictures were SO
familiar that the task was not difficult
and yet it was surprising to find how
confusing it all was to the puzzle
workers. Pictures that seemed fami-
liar were mighty elusive when it
came to identifying them among
t~hirty-six others. The soap ads o
dreadfully mixed up, and SO did the
hair restorers. If the pictures were
ever published labeled the way most
of the guests guessed there would
have followed a whole lot OF trade
mark infringement suits. The girls
were very much better at the work
than the young men, presumably be-
cause the articles advertised were
mostly household things and SO of
more interest TO the fair sex than %
their brothers. OF the thirty-six pic
lures the highest number guessed was
twenty-five and this was by one of the
young women

CAPTIVATING ~sHIRTWAIsTs.
There Are Many Charming and Accept
able spring Styles. 81

EP' -
There is no genuine shirtwaist
weather yet, but womankind is evil
IDENTIFY determined to be equipped for
the pleasant season when it does come.
Petticoated purchasers now stand
three deep about the inter where
the new cotton blouses are displayed.
Shirt manufacturers have learned to
cater to every taste by producing no
less than a dozen varieties of this in
valuable garment, ranging from the
perfectly plain percale and duck to
organdie and fancifully trimmed silk
madras garments. There is no tenden-
cy to reinaugurate the use Of the
stiff white linen collar. Contrasting
and fanciful neckties hang cheek by
Jowl with the shirts, and no woman
car escape the hint. Sleeves, as is only
natural. are inclined to the bishop
shape, to wrist puffs or double cuff eff
fects, and bosoms still pouch a little
and hang in soft fullness. Last au-
tumn, when the new flannel waists
were put on the counters, the women
who rushed in to buy turned away in
disgust, for the manufacturers had
daringly tried to force a tight fitting
shirt. The sacriicial sales Of tight
flannel shirtwaists now forced at the
retail shops have impressed the mer-
chants with a sense of their own help
lessness in choosing the mode, and
among the percale and toll du nord,
and brown batiste and colored French
linen shirts not one basque-like model
is seen.
Pretty sailor blouses are evidently
going to play a part this spring, for
dozens of charming white and colored
cotton examples are being brought up
decorated with collar, cuffs, a tiny
steel blue linen blouse of this variety,
opening over a vest OF finely tucked
white linen and decorated with big
white cut pearl buttons. A rival to
this is a shirt OF soft toll du nord,
decorated with collar, cuffs, a tiny
yoke and broad front band Of exceed
ingly coarse cream linen lace edged
with a narrow cream linen braid, and
a third n%oticeably popular model is
made of bingham in blue, brown, rel
or green embroidered in dots of a con-
trasting color and made up with en-
broidered bands that echo the two
colors in the material itself.-Boston

A %sTROLLING SINGER.

(By Charlotte Becker.)
HE sang along the woodland paths
When all the world was warm and
gay.
The birds half Knocked him overhead,
The shadows cooled his g~reenlit way.
THE earth was sweet with growing
things,
The vintage promised full and fair;
And one with eyes like larkspur buds,
And garnered sunlight in her hair,
stood Watching by the lex trees,
\ glow, a welcome in her eyes.
He sank. too tired, at her feet
And smiled through wistful little signs.
" Dear love- he said, I cannot live.

While Yet my loving is not done.

A Coincidence and a Recon-
SideratiOn.
BY !. p. COUGHLIN.


Copyright. 1901, by Daily Story u Coz
Paul Westover had every reason to
congratulate himself upon the success
of his new book. The public received
it with gratifying approval, and the
critics bestowed upon it well-tempered
commentator. Being a tirst-born,
however, the critics felt bound to pa
tronize both it and its writer in their
customary paternal fashion, and while
lauding its other excellent qualities
they pointed out and dwelt upon the
un-realistic improbabilities Of the
main incidents in which Mr.. West
overs heroine was Centered.
That this should be so was only
natural: Mr.. Westover was ridicu-
lousy young to know anything of the
impenetrable feminine, and yet he had
dared to make Gertrude Warner" the
story Of a woman's life, a story of
many strange phases, and of curious
though incorrect, said the reviewers,
insights into the workings Of a young
girls mind.
Westover was almost on the point
of accepting the critics dictum. He
had fancied that his portrayal of Ger
trude Warner was we'll and clearly i'm
agined, but after all what could he, a
bachelor and impressionable. know Of
women. The reviewers must be right.
Gertrude Warner was falsely drawn.
But there was at least n person
who did not think with the reviewers.
The newly-hedged author received in
his mail from his publishers a long
letter that was truly startling to his
self possession. Its full length may
not be given here but its gist Is con-
tanned in a couple of paragraphs.
You are evidently very intimately
acquainted with the story of the dark
est passages in my life, but surely it
was unnecessary that the details
should be made public SO faithfully
and SO %callously. would like to think
that your story was purely a coinci-
dence and evolved entirely from your
w imagination, but the details up to
the denOuement, in every particular,
are so carefully true to fact that /
have no other course than to believe
that some unworthy recipient of my
confidence has in an idle moment be-
trayed my unhappy history.
Doubtless you will admit that |
have at least the right of asking an
explanation, the more especially, see
ing that O have even given to your
novel a title so like the name borne
by her who asks it.
"GERMYN WARREN"
Westover finished the reading OF this
letter with a rue expression. He
whist!ed softly to himself and looked
blankly at the wall in an endeavor to
collect his thoughts and adequately
consider the situation presented to
him. In a moment the humorous as
pect of the affair dawned upon him and
he laughed Quizzically.
"One of the delights of nOvel-wTit-
ing" he murmured aloud; lis to run

finds your book a mirror of her past.

Legal Clothes,

Possibly the strike of the ladies'
tailors and a consequent slackness il
ladies' fashions. may account for the
fact that Paris has lately been takirg
a particular interest in masculine, rot
feminine, attire. After the question
OF the frock coat has come that Of The
top hat. The headgear which remained
pre-eminent throughout the nineteenth
century Is said now to be doomed. by
a dictate, not OF fashion, but OF the
authorities. 1t must at once be added
that the top hat has not been pro-
scribed throughout the length and
breadth of the land, but only In one
commune OF France. The mayor Of
this locality has issued an edict threat
ening pain of fine and Imprisonment,
as the hat in question is undemocratic.
French municipal magnates are dis
playing a great zeal for regulating cos
tune, and the present Is only one of a
series of edicts on dress in various
towns in France. One mayor had
vetoed the wearing or 'bloomers' by
ladies within the limits OF his juris-
diction, AMI several others had issued
in their respective communes. enact
ments prohibiting priests from appear
ing In public in their clerical garb.

THE PACIFIC CARLE-

SYDNEY, February 27.-Mr Audley
Coote, in a letter to the press re the
Pacific cable, says if it goes by Fan
ming Island to Vancouver, that sec
tion, $3.50 miles in one stretch will
act as a toll gate to all messages going
over the whole cable, unless such an
expensive cable is made for that sec
ton as would cost almost as much as
the whole of the other sections put to-
gether. He suggests arranging a COM
promise with the manufacturing cable
company and let the line from Tanning
Island be landed at Honolulu, and
thence go to Vancouver. The whole un-
dertaking would thus be much bene-
fitted. and the only extra cost would be
a repeating station.
