Row THE WHIST FACE.
Intsnss 11Dssssfea Showing More
C0a0saly AnenG women
Whs Play the Dane.

We have all sorts of fnces. all va
rieties Of countenances, that get their
recognized expressions from close ap-
plication to some variety of strain
ing employment. Now we have "the
whist face" to add to the list. 1t Is
showing itself among the women. and
comes from the whist club habit,
which is rapidly growing. showing its
strength not only at night. but in the
afternoons. and even In the mornings,
associated with tea and waters, choc-
olnte and bon-bons, says the New
York Herald.
One expression of the whist face,
though it is sad. and is told with an
effort. is age. The women may shud-
der at the thought, but the fact re-
mains. Intense thought and daily
racking the memory to remember
what cards have been played cannot
but deepen the face lines and hasten
what heretofore the women have left
for time to accomplish without their
permission.
In the whist face you will see the
far-away look, accompanied by arched
lines on the forehead. suddenly
changing to an expression of inward
contemplation. associated with a
tightening Of the lips. These express
sions come from an Icrobatic mind
under training that consists in leap
ing from the first lead, jump by jump.
over each successive play. to the ulti-
mate effect of the next play that
must he made. while keeping the men
tai eye on the accepted rules. not neg

Nature can recover from this sort
of thing when occasionally INDUCED

the expression becomes fixed, md fol-
lows the wearer, no matter what her
thought or occupation may be at the

wheat frsA Egyptian -TOnbs.
The statement has frequently been
made that It is possible to cause grains
of wheat found in ancient Egyptian
sepulchers to terminate and grow.
This statement has been disputed. and
the question was discus ssd at re-
cent meeting OF the French Academy
of Science. II was shown that while
the albumen Of wheat found in a
tomb 5000 years old had undergone
no alteration. the embryo was chunged
and could not be caused to germi-
nate. But fresh embryo placed in
the ancient albumen would grow, and
this fact. 1t WIS said. probably ac-
counted for the statement that the
old Egyptian wheat rescued from its
long entombment would sprout and
grow.
