An estimable young lady bought
some poker chips to make one of the
new calendars on which the chips are
used for ornamentation. She put them
in her pocketbook and boarded a car
for home. A friend sat beside her
and an animated conversation ensued.
The conductor came to collect the fares.
The estimable Y. L. put her hand into
her pocket to draw out a nickle. She
handed the supposed nickle to the con-
ductor and went on with her CONVERSE
ton. The conductor looked at her in
which gradually gave place
to amusement. Finding that he did not
seem satisfied with her fare the Y. L.
looked at him and saw that his face
was wreathed in smiles. He held up the
poker ship. The red blood mantled her
cheeks as she hastily seized the of
Tending bit of celluloid and exchanged
it for a five cent piece, while neighbor-
ing passengers who had awakened to
the situation but not to its explanation
chuckled to themselves No doubt they
charged her mentally with sporting
utterly foreign to the nature
of established Y. LIS.

"a young man." said West Side
bachelor to one of his friends, the
other day, Should never marry girl
who is plump at 20. 1t is probable she
will be fat at 40. He should scrutiniZe
the girl to whom he contemplates pro-
posing, to see that her beauty does
not consist in youth and a pink and
white complexion. Compilations like
that fade in the first five years. He
ought to be certain that her attractive
ness does not consist solely in a stylish
appearance, because that is likely to
be based on an expensive dressmaker
and her gowns will cost more than he
can afford to pay. The man who ex-
poets long and happy married life
should have more thought for the APP
pearance of his wife at 80 than at %.
If she grows handsome as she grows
old he will always have a proper pride
in her and much that passes for af-
lection is based on pride. l recon-
mend the girl with a prominent nose,
of a strongly curved outline. A great
majority of the elderly women who
pass as beautiful among their friends
will be described as having such
classic features, don't you know"
Now" concluded the bachelor, what
are commonly called classic features
are simply that kind of a nose and
whether you have observed it or not,
women who have noses like that get
better looking, while women with or
binary noses are passing into the sere

you would be surprised to see how
many persons wait until the last day
to do their Christmas trading" said a
clerk in big department store to me,
yesterday. And, as rule, they are
not so particular as the shoppers who
start in to select their presents a week
or so before. A man will come in and
ask to see something appropriate to
give a lady Something will be shown
him. He fingers it over a minute and
often directs that it should be wrap
ped up without more delay. OF course
women are longer selecting their gifts.
They delight in paving over the stock,
but in the end they generally buy on
the last evening. There is no time
then to go about much"
Probably some of the late shoppers
are persons who have received an
early Christmas gift and feeling in
duty bound to make some return. they
make a mad rush for a department
store and select something of an equiv
alent value with the gift received.

Some children who do not under
stand the truth about Santa Claus
are very easily imposed on by their
larger brothers and sisters who had
found out the truth years ago and who
laugh at the efforts with which their
younger brothers and sisters pen a let
ter to Santa Claus to remember them,
Christmas day, when he is passing
their way
One little boy. whose brother had
been trying to impress on his mind
that there was no such a person as
Santa Claus penned the following nate
to the good old Saint:
Dear Sanity CIas, this is willie who
is writin to yer My brother Frank
seq you are a fake but I don't be-
lieve him and so I am writin this
note to let you know what my broth
er thinks about you and to let you
know that 7 believe in you just the
same If I was you Sanity Clas, l
wouldn't bring Frank not even a small
bit of candy he is so mean, talking
about you that way to me. Your own
boy Willie"
The boy after writing this letter,
sealed it and addressed it to Sanity
Clas, Boston Store, and gave it to his
mother to mail, with the firm convic-
ton that his brother would be forgot
ten by Santa Claus, this year when
he is making his rounds.
