FAST SAILING FROM LIVERPOOL

The fastest passake across the At

PASSED in the Delaware Capes, 1914
days after leaving Liverpool. She had

went to party given by colored folk,

''At first he failed. bur hafore +he
night had passed he had acquired the
time and kept the crowd entertained
with snatches from popular songs play-
ed in this fashion One Of the darkies
who had performed on the banjo be-
came suddenly interested in Harney's
playing. Approaching Harvey he in
quired:

The darlie sized Harvey from head

the argument a poor one and said:

About a week later there was an
other party in the neighborhood. Har-
ney was present and had to play. The
two banjo players were also there and
they thumped away together, playing
all sorts of tunes. The same darkey
who a week previous wanted to know

Ben thought the remark very funny
and replied: What do you mean, Jas

last week.
Yes returned Jasper enthusiastic

worried SO over the size that suspect.
cd there was something back of his
anxiety, and at last said:
Can't you give me some idea Of the
size Of your sisters finger? Is it as
large as minc, for example?' and I held
up the middle finger of my right hand
for inspection.
oh, yes said he, it is larger than
| that-much larger. It's almost as large
| as mine
AND then laughed and presently he
laughed and told me all about it. The
fact Is he said, I have no sister. I'm
coughing it in bachelor quarters here in
New York, and have to do so much
lnending and sewing on buttons and
the like thatsI find a thimble is indis-
| pensable. I suppose my ability in that
| line is nothing to be ashamed of, but
somehow rather shrunk from letting
on that was buying thimble for my
| self. thought it would make me seem
effeminate.'
But that was two or three years
ago." added the girl. They are not so
squeamish nowadays. They march
right up and buy thimbles and thread
and even darning cotton without a
trenor, just as women buy their own
rifles and rowboats and other sporting
goods, all of which goes to prove that
the sexes are reversing their oldfash-
toned occupations with vengeance.
Most of the men who buy thimbles
have the incest tapering fingers inn
aginable. I suppose most of them work
in the offices or stores and don't do
anything to spoil their hands. They
are very particular about the fit OF
their thimbles. They always want
them as tight as beesNax. A woman
likes a thimbIe loose enough to permit
of circulation, but the men say that
they can't &c anything with the Thin
bic slipping off all the time.
Men buk good thimbles, too: much |
better than the average woman. 1t is |
not unusual thing for them to ask for a !
gold one. Then l have to send them to |
the jewelry department. This year l
gave several young men nice thimbles |
for Christmas presents. They all said |
/ couldn't have given them anything |
that would have been so useful and ac- |
ceptahle It's a wonder to me Why |
more girls don't give their men friends |
thimbles instead of fancy handker- |
cases and necktie boxes. I'm sure they |
would appreciate them more. By an |
other year, fancy, they will get onto |
the idea, for the social conditions in |
New York make thimbles and even
complete sewing companions a neces- |
sary adjunct to every young mans |
bachelor outfit"

At the old-fashioned inns and
restaurants in Sweden it is customary
to charge less for women than for men
on the theory that they do not eat so
much. At some hotels in Sweden a
man and a wife are charged az one and
one-half persons if they occupy the
same room. A husband and wife may
travel as one and one-half persons by
railway. and also by the post routes,
furnishing their own carriage.
